C3

Most of the West Street was filled with casino taverns. As night fell, the red lanterns on both sides of the street were lit up. The red lights extended from the street all the way to the street corner.

There were no longer any generals watching at the city gate, so the good business of South Wind House was resumed.

Qu Ling stood on the third floor's corridor and looked down. He immediately saw Murong Yan, who was running up the stairs.

Murong Yan was Qu Ling's business partner and second in command. He went out to do some business yesterday afternoon and only returned to the South Wind House now.

Qu Ling was just about to say "It's been hard on you" to Murong Yan, but who knew that the first thing Murong Yan would say to her after seeing her was: "Your fiancé entered the city this morning, have you gone to take a look?"

Qu Ling's face immediately darkened, "What's there to look at, don't look at it!"

Murong Yan raised his eyebrows, "But I heard that General Xiao is very good-looking."

Since the General Xiao was young and famous, he had not lost a single battle since he took on the Commander Imprint. Even if he had the ability, it would be fine, but it was said that he had been born with a very beautiful life, causing all of the young ladies that had not left the pavilion to desperately want to marry.

Murong Yan had also wanted to go and admire the Heroic War God from the bottom of his heart, but he couldn't because he was stuck on the truth. Hence, he didn't know what the General Xiao looked like.

Qu Ling clenched his teeth: "Who cares how he looks, even if I were to marry a Spider, Centipede, Scorpion, or Toad, I won't marry him, Xiao Jingyue!"

She had never seen that fiance before, so who knew if it was a crooked melon or a split jujube. Besides, even if she looked good, so what? Now that she lost her body and gave the General Xiao a green hat in advance, if he found out, the general would immediately order someone to bury her alive.

In the entire South Wind House, who didn't know that Qu Ling liked beautiful men. If Xiao Jingyue was really as good-looking as the rumors said, Murong Yan didn't believe that Qu Ling would be willing to break the engagement.

However, Murong Yan did not continue with this topic and changed the subject, "I heard from Jin Yi that you did not bring Bone Eating Insects back this morning, causing the Jade Scorpion to be hungry for a day. Do you need my help? "

Besides being able to dispel some of the special Gu poison, the Jade Scorpion also had the ability to test the poison. Wherever it went, as long as it had a Gu, it would be able to detect it immediately.

But after what happened last night, Qu Ling really didn't want to go back to that place anymore. He immediately took out the Jade Scorpion from his bosom and gave it to Murong Yan, "Take it with you, don't lose it."

Murong Yan nodded lightly and left with the Jade Scorpion.

The next morning, Qu Ling was woken up by the sound of knocking.

A child's voice transmitted from outside the door: "Elder sister, Aunt Tao is here."

The only person who could call Qu Ling "big sister" was Qu Ling's adopted son, Jiang Huo's parents.

Qu Ling rarely saw this young master, running around randomly.

People in the outside world only knew that the owner of the South Wind House was Murong Villa's little gongzi Murong Yan, while Qu Ling was the person who was truly in charge of the South Wind House. Other than the inside of the South Wind House, only a few people in the Prime Minister Mansion knew about this.

Prime Minister Jiang would usually order people to come here to search for Qu Ling if they could not find him within the residence. Amongst them, Aunt Tao was the most familiar.

Hearing that the Aunt Tao had arrived, Qu Ling's entire body shivered, he immediately became clear-headed, grabbed the clothes on the screen, put them on in a few times, then ran to the window and jumped down.

The Aunt Tao opened her eyes wide, and pounced towards the window with a speed that didn't match her fat body, but she still couldn't find a single corner of Qu Ling's clothes. She could only watch as the young miss tidied up her clothes, and ran to the entrance of the backyard.

The Aunt Tao became anxious and shouted towards the outside: "Miss, come back quickly, someone from the palace is coming. Master wants you to go back!"

The last syllable had a strong penetrating force that echoed throughout the courtyard, waking up the servants who were still sleeping inside the South Wind House. One or two of them ran out before they even had time to put on their clothes, almost blinding Aunt Tao once or twice.

Since someone from the palace had come, Qu Ling would definitely not return.

Walking out from the alley at the back door of South Wind House, they entered another street.

Afraid that he would be recognized, Qu Ling went to the clothing store and bought a set of men's clothes, and also bought two fake beards that stuck to his face. After he was done with his disguise, he went to the wonton stall and ordered a bowl of wonton.

"Boss, give me two bowls of wontons." Two men walked into the wonton stall and stood in front of Qu Ling. One of the man asked politely: "Young Noble, there are no other empty seats in the stall, can we sit here?"

Qu Ling raised her head and met a pair of cold eyes. After seeing the person's face, she was so excited that she immediately jumped up from the chair.

Great! This man wasn't dead yet, moreover, he ran in front of her!

Should she take revenge for the hairpin first, or should she take revenge for the body first?

Chen Linye was shocked, "Little Gongzi?"

Xiao Jingyue originally did not pay much attention to Qu Ling, but after seeing that she had done something unusual, he looked at her again.

It was a glance that revealed a sense of familiarity.

Just as Qu Ling was about to speak, he suddenly felt something in his chest move a few times. Lowering his head, he saw the Jade Scorpion that Murong Yan fed and sent back last night crawl out from her embrace.

The Jade Scorpion crawled from one end of the table to the other, stopping in front of Xiao Jingyue. It crawled back and forth uneasily.

Only when it met a Gu that was extremely poisonous and difficult to deal with would the Jade Scorpion have such a reaction.

Qu Ling didn't even have time to get angry as he looked at Xiao Jingyue in shock, "You have a parasite in your body?!"
