The jianghu couldn't do without a chief.
With the election for the chief around the corner, Shi Sheng brought his men down the mountain once more.
This time, Shi Sheng had them rob people on their own, while she went to Brightmoon Mountain Villa alone.
The male and female leads would definitely attend such an important event.
Brightmoon Mountain Villa was very lively right now. Most people were in groups, but Shi Sheng was alone. He was also quite attractive, so he immediately attracted some attention.
However, Shi Sheng didn't recognize any of those people. She only recognized the Jadewater Mountain Villa's Villa Lord.
"Miss Wu Zheng is also here to attend the chief assembly?" The Villa Lord walked up to Shi Sheng. Ignoring the scheming look in his eyes, his attitude wasn't bad.
"I can't attend?"
"Of course not."
"Then isn't there something wrong with you asking this question? Aren't you here to attend the chief assembly or to kill people? "
Manor Head: "…" Who taught this little girl with thorns all over her body?
Suppressing his anger, the Villa Lord did his best to remain calm. "Miss Wu Zheng, you don't have an invitation, right?"
Invitations were only sent to people with status in the jianghu.
Heretical sects definitely wouldn't send invitations.
"What does it have to do with you whether I have an invitation or not?" Why was this Villa Lord of Jadewater Mountain Villa getting close to her?
"Miss Wu Zheng, you don't need to be so cautious. If you don't have an invitation, I can take you in."
"Aren't you afraid that I'll go in and kill them all?" Shi Sheng looked at the Villa Lord with a half-smile.
The Villa Lord choked, his eyes darkening.
If she really went in and did something, it would implicate him. It wasn't worth it.
"Big Sis."
A cheerful voice cut in from the side. "Uncle Zhong."
The Villa Lord's expression relaxed when he saw the person running over. He changed the topic. "Little Luo, you're here too."
"Mn." Bai Luo nodded. She looked at Shi Sheng and asked curiously, "Big Sis, you're also here to attend the chief assembly?"
There was one good thing about being naive and sweet, which was that she'd forget all the bad intentions you'd shown her.
"Mn." Shi Sheng nodded casually, then glanced behind her.
Fu Yiyun wasn't there.
"Where is Young Master Fu?" The Manor Lord asked, as if he could read the Shi Sheng's mind.
Bai Luo's smile froze as a trace of sadness flashed through her eyes. She slowly lowered her head and muttered, "I don't know."
Seeing Bai Luo's expression, the village lord seemed to have thought of something and patted her head like an elder. "Let's go in first."
"Yeah …" Bai Luo was still feeling down.
The male lead must have met Liu Xu and was together with her. Otherwise, Bai Luo wouldn't have such an expression.
Shi Sheng clicked his tongue thoughtfully and walked toward the gate of the villa.
The Zhuangzhu wanted to see how Shi Sheng was going to get in, so he immediately followed her.
Bai Luo followed behind with her head lowered.
When Shi Sheng walked to the entrance to check the invitations, there was a sudden commotion behind him.
"It's Master Fu …"
A faint voice came from afar.
Bai Luo pinched her clothes and looked into the distance.
Fu Yiyun and a woman walked out from the crowd, both dressed in white.
The man was handsome and cold while the woman was gentle and beautiful. When they walked together, they were a perfect couple.
I don't see Zhou Zhi …
He must have become cannon fodder.
"Xiaoluo-meimei." Liu Xu was the first to see Bai Luo standing in front of them. Her expression was pleasantly surprised and worried. "Why did you run off by yourself that day? Yiyun gege and I were very worried about you."
Bai Luo looked at Fu Yiyun, who was a step behind her. Fu Yiyun's gaze only paused on her for a second before moving away.
Bai Luo's eyes were filled with disappointment. He wasn't worried about her at all.
"Thank you for your concern. I'm fine," Bai Luo replied quietly.
Liu Xu intimately grabbed Bai Luo's hand. Bai Luo shrank back, but Liu Xu secretly used more force so that she couldn't break free.
Fu Yiyun was standing in front of her, so Bai Luo didn't dare to make any big movements. She could only let Liu Xu hold her hand uncomfortably.
Liu Xu had a gentle smile on her face, but she couldn't hide the smugness in her eyes. "Did Big Sis do something wrong? Are you angry at Big Sis?"
"No." Bai Luo shook her head.
"Then why didn't Little Sister Xiaoluo tell us before leaving? I thought I did something wrong …"
Bai Luo only shook her head and tried to pull her hand back.
She didn't expect that Liu Xu would suddenly loosen her grip a bit. She exerted more force and Liu Xu's body fell backwards.
Behind her was the stairs. Bai Luo panicked and tried to grab her, but Fu Yiyun was faster. He grabbed Liu Xu's waist and pulled her into his embrace.
Bai Luo's hand froze in midair.
"Little Sis Xiaoluo …" Liu Xu looked at Bai Luo, still in shock. She called out weakly without questioning her.
That delicate and pitiful appearance caused everyone to automatically imagine a grudge between the two of them.
Shi Sheng gave Liu Xu a thumbs up. This was the highest level of acting like a white lotus.
If it weren't for the heavens protecting her, the female lead probably wouldn't even be able to last a single blow from that person.
Fu Yiyun lowered his head and asked if Liu Xu was alright without looking at Bai Luo.
Bai Luo's fingers trembled. She slowly withdrew her hand and lowered her head to look at the embroidered shoes peeking out from under her skirt.
"I'm fine. I didn't expect little sis Xiaoluo to be so strong." Liu Xu shook her head at Fu Yiyun.
"She's just like that. Rash when she does things," Fu Yiyun added.
Bai Luo's hands were clasped together in her sleeves as she whispered, "I'm sorry …"
Shi Sheng shook his head and turned to leave. Who knew that Liu Xu would stare at her and call out to her?
Shi Sheng tilted his head to look at her, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
That smile was very faint. It was just a slight lift of the corners of her mouth, but no one could ignore her smile.
"Who's that?"
"Wu Zheng. Didn't you hear that girl call her?"
"Wu Zheng? Which Wu Zheng? "
"Which Wu Zheng? How many Wu Zheng are there in the jianghu …"
"I heard she has a sword that's even stronger than Scarlet Heaven Sword. I wonder if that's true."
Everyone looked at Shi Sheng inquisitively, as if trying to figure out where she kept her Iron Sword.
Liu Xu's voice was as gentle as water. "Miss Wu Zheng, I'm very sorry about what happened last time. I didn't know …"
"Stop!" Shi Sheng reached out to stop her. "Zhou Zhi left with you willingly. It had nothing to do with me. There's no need to apologize to me."
Liu Xu felt awkward for a moment. Her eyes darkened as she took a step back. "I was overthinking things. Please don't take it to heart, Miss Wu Zheng."
She paused. "Is Miss Wu Zheng also here to participate in the Alliance Head Conference? Why don't we go in together … "
White lotus flowers weren't scary. White lotus flowers who could talk weren't scary either.
White lotus flowers who were scheming and could talk were the scary ones.
Look at what Liu Xu said. She didn't say a single word about her not having an invitation.
Yet, it made everyone think that she didn't have an invitation.
"I'm afraid I'll turn white," Shi Sheng said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
Liu Xu naturally didn't understand. She looked at Shi Sheng in confusion.
Actually, Liu Xu was already very impatient in her heart. This woman didn't play by the rules time and time again.
But she couldn't show it on her face. She could only smile gently at Shi Sheng.
