Wang Chengyang continued unhurriedly, "Does the Alliance Leader still remember a woman named Li You? She served the Alliance Leader and not long ago tried to assassinate him but was captured on the spot..."
Before his voice faded, those who knew about this incident immediately changed their expressions drastically.
Zhong Fengyue quietly looked at Wang Chengyang. Her rosy lips suddenly pursed slightly.
The Alliance Leader's starry eyes turned cold. He suddenly remembered a charming and beautiful face.
"Wasn't she the maid personally hand - picked by you from all over the world?" That woman had a pair of extremely charming eyes. With just a simple glance, it seemed as if one's soul could be sucked into them.
The Alliance Leader smiled faintly. He had indeed let his guard down around this woman. However, her identity was truly a mystery.
Su Xiaoliu gave the Alliance Leader a disgruntled look. This amorous Alliance Leader really caused romantic debts everywhere. He deserved to be assassinated!
"Although that's the case, at that time, neither I nor Chief Protector Chang knew her identity. It was my dereliction of duty, and I'm willing to accept the punishment. But..." Wang Chengyang looked up at the Alliance Leader and continued, "Now, Chief Protector Chang probably already knows her identity."
Zhong Fengyue and the Alliance Leader were both shocked, but the former was alarmed while the latter was surprised.
"Protector Wang always shifts the blame onto Chief Protector Chang. Then why are you here, opposing the Alliance Leader?" Zhong Fengyue gave Wang Chengyang a half - smiling look, and there was a hint of undisguised mockery in her tone.
Everyone from Sect Master Tong's group stood on the Alliance Leader's side. As soon as Zhong Fengyue spoke, they all sided with him.
"Exactly. Protector Wang, it's fine for Elder Cang and Ghost King Nie to be fickle, but as someone close to the Alliance Leader, how could you follow suit?" Sect Master Tong had watched for a long time and couldn't stand it anymore, so he simply stepped forward and made things clear.
"Protector Wang, please explain." The Alliance Leader stood with his hands behind his back and quietly looked at Wang Chengyang.
Wang Chengyang wasn't flustered. It seemed as if he had a winning card in hand. He glanced at the Golden Jade Tree in Cang Nanyan's hand and then looked back.
It was like a thunderclap out of the blue, stunning everyone on the spot.
"The matter of Chief Protector Chang can wait. But this Golden Jade Tree is an evil tree."
The sky was clear, and the warm wind was blowing gently.
At the Pingshan Assembly, the Alliance Leader and others had jumped into the cave, and there was nothing to watch for the time being. So everyone had to go about their own business. Those who had won the bet were counting their money with great enthusiasm, while those who had lost were all annoyed at their bad luck, lamenting that so much silver that was within reach had flown away.
A cold - looking woman in a light cyan silk dress was walking quietly on the road. Suddenly, when she saw the betting peddler counting money not far away, she stopped in her tracks. The next second, she rushed over with her sword in hand.
The betting peddler was happily counting the silver he had earned this time. Suddenly, a shadow fell on him. He frowned and waved his hand, saying, "Get out of the way. Don't block me from counting money."
After his voice fell, the shadow still didn't retreat. The betting peddler looked up irritably and said, "Can you not block the light?" What he saw was a beautiful face. The peddler was suddenly stunned, and his face showed delight. His tone changed instantly. "Miss... what can I do for you?"
Chu Weixin gave a soft laugh, and a charming smile suddenly appeared on her beautiful face. The peddler was instantly mesmerized.
Unexpectedly, the next second, Chu Weixin stretched out her hand and said coldly, "Where's the silver?"
The peddler looked at her face and then at her hand. He blinked his eyes and suddenly remembered something. He quickly asked, "What's your name, miss? Let me check." Then he lowered his head to rummage through the stack of papers in his bosom with the names of the bettors on them.
"Chu Weixin." A sweet voice came.
"Chu Weixin..." The peddler murmured. He only felt that the name was vaguely familiar. He rummaged through the papers again and again but didn't find this name. Instead, he found the name of a bettor who hadn't come to claim their silver yet. "Su Xiaoliu..." He brought the paper closer to his eyes and looked at it carefully.
Suddenly, his mind jolted. He suddenly remembered a woman wearing a veil and a green silk dress who had torn up a piece of paper in his hand.
No way. It couldn't be that the rightful owner just happened to come looking for him...
The peddler swallowed hard and carefully looked up and said, "Oh no. I'm afraid I lost it. Well, miss..." He rummaged through the small pieces of silver in his bosom and took out two ingots. Looking up, he said, "I'll return your two ingots..."
When Chu Weixin saw him read another name, she already guessed what was going on.
Su Xiaoliu? She curved her lips, and a glint of amusement appeared in her eyes.
"Returning me two ingots. You still owe me 198 ingots." She straightened up, crossed her arms, and said with a soft smile, "If you lose your credibility, I'm afraid the person collecting bets at the next Pingshan Assembly will be replaced."
A threatening aura came over him. The betting peddler's legs trembled, and he looked up at her shakily.
This girl is so beautiful, but why is she so scary when she talks...
"Miss..." The peddler looked at her with a为难 look on his face, hesitating to speak.
Chu Weixin leaned closer to him until there was only a fist's distance between them. She slowly coaxed, "Tell me what that person looks like."
The peddler swallowed again. He was too timid to act on his lust and shrank his head. He rolled his eyes and stammered based on his hazy memory, "A green dress and a veil..."
A veil?
Chu Weixin straightened up. She seemed to know who it was.
She glanced at the betting peddler and said gently, "First come, first served. If you dare to earn this ill - gotten money, you should have the guts to bear the consequences..."
The peddler was on the verge of crying under her pressure. At this time, Chang He in a black robe happened to pass by and saw this scene.
Chang He saw that something was wrong and quickly walked over. He said in a威严 voice, "What's going on?"
As soon as the betting peddler saw Chang He, he stood up as if he had been injected with adrenaline. Then he suddenly remembered the bad thing he had done. He shrank his head and didn't dare to look at Chang He. He only dared to whisper, "Chief, Chief Protector Chang..."
Chu Weixin and Chang He glanced at each other, and Chang He immediately recognized her.
Chu Weixin spoke first, "So it's Chief Protector Chang." She gave a soft smile and continued, "It's exactly the time when the treasures are on display at the Pingshan Assembly. Instead of guarding the treasures, Chief Protector Chang is out patrolling the mountain? Could it be that the Alliance Leader values Protector Wang too much and has left you in the cold?" There was a lot of teasing and sarcasm in her tone.
Chang He knew she would talk like this. He was already used to all kinds of provocations and wasn't angry. He looked at Chu Weixin and calmly retorted, "Thanks to me patrolling the mountain today. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would never have the chance to see the great honor of Divine Doctor Chu in my lifetime." He sized up Chu Weixin's outfit up and down.
