He found a nearby dealer and asked if there was a stall suitable for them. The dealer enthusiastically recommended several locations, but after examining them, Su Shikuan found that the stalls were either relatively remote and small, or lacked sufficient foot traffic, and thus didn't quite meet his requirements. Furthermore, some of the vendors around the stalls were selling items that were too similar to his own, which also left him unsatisfied.

Just as Su Shikuan and the broker continued to inquire about other stalls, a beautiful woman dressed in red grassland tribal clothes suddenly appeared in front of him.

The woman was tall, with skin as white as snow, like a delicate flower blooming on the grassland. Her face was chiseled, with cherry-red lips beneath a high nose. Her large eyes, like deep lakes, sparkled with a mysterious light.

Her hair cascaded down her shoulders, gently brushing against her fair skin and exuding a delicate fragrance. On her head was an exquisite silver headdress inlaid with gemstones, sparkling with enchanting light.

Her clothing was even more striking. The red, tribal garment of the grasslands tightly hugged her body, highlighting her graceful curves. The garment was embroidered with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, seemingly telling the story of the grasslands. Around her waist was a golden belt, hung with a string of bells, which jingled with her movements.

The scimitar in her hand had a cold gleam on its blade, and the hilt was inlaid with gems, making it look particularly gorgeous. She stared straight at Su Shikuan, questioning him in her tone, "Su Shikuan, why are you hiding from me?"

Su Shikuan frowned, his eyes fixed on the aggressive woman before him. He couldn't figure out how she had found his way here, even though he had hidden himself so well. Furthermore, her angry expression made it seem as if she held a deep hatred for him. This caused Su Shikuan to feel a surge of doubt and uneasiness.

He wondered to himself, "Could it be that one of her people was following me?" However, no matter how hard he tried to recall, he could not find any clues that could explain her appearance. What puzzled him even more was why she was questioning him so aggressively.

Despite his doubts, Su Shikuan showed no sign of panic. Instead, he remained calm, trying to find clues from the other person's expression and eyes. He knew that only by finding out the truth could he better deal with the situation.

Su Shikuan was going to deny it first: "Girl, I don't know you..."

As a result, just as he finished saying this, he felt a chill on his neck, and a sharp scimitar was already placed on it.

The woman suddenly became even more furious. She stared at Su Shikuan with her beautiful eyes and cursed angrily, "Su Shikuan, you actually pretended not to know me! You are a heartless and unfeeling man. You are truly a shameless person who abandons me after having fun with me!"

"Don't talk nonsense, I have never abandoned you!" Su Shikuan retorted loudly, with a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

The crowd watching the interaction between the two people probably understood that they knew each other. However, seeing the woman so excited, with a knife clamped on the young man's neck, they couldn't help but worry about an accident. So someone kindly reminded her, "Young lady, now that you've found the man, please speak properly. The knife in your hand has no eyes. What if you accidentally hurt this young man?"

However, the woman glared at the speaker fiercely and angrily retorted, "I don't need you to teach me how to do things! Why are you meddling in my business?"

Seeing that the woman refused to listen, the people around her shook their heads and walked away angrily. At this time, Hong Chenggui, Ji Xing, Yin Luo and Ding Tang were about to step forward to help Su Shikuan, but Su Shikuan waved his hands at them, signaling them to leave him alone and continue looking for a stall.

Seeing Su Shikuan being so sensible, the woman couldn't help but smile with relief: "You are sensible. You know that even if they come, they can't save you from me."

Su Shikuan quickly nodded in agreement, "Of course, Miss Qimuge's knife skills are so superb, how could an ordinary person possibly be your opponent?" Oh, so this woman's name is Nila! Then, Su Shikuan carefully reached out and gently pushed away the scimitar on his neck, whispering, "Can you put the knife away first? I'm really scared..."

After hearing this, Qimuge's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smug look on his face. He said with a hint of sarcasm: "Huh, now you know you're scared! Then do you dare to run away again?"

Su Shikuan's heart tightened when he saw Nila's expression. He quickly raised his hands to show his surrender, and said in a trembling voice, "I dare not..."

Qimuge raised her head and stared sharply into Su Shikuan's eyes, as if trying to discern something from his expression. Although she was tall, she was still slightly shorter than Su Shikuan, which forced her to look up at him. Then, she said in a serious tone, "Okay, I'm telling you, don't lie to me anymore, Su Shikuan."

"I can't..." Su Shikuan said this, but when Nila just took the knife away, he turned around and ran away like a wild horse.

This completely enraged Qimuge. Her face darkened instantly, her eyes gleaming with rage. Without hesitation, she chased after him, her speed astonishing. It wasn't long before she caught up with Su Shikuan and sent him sprawling to the ground with a flying kick.

Su Shikuan was in unbearable pain from the sudden kick. He curled up on the ground, holding his stomach, groaning and grimacing, and couldn't help shouting, "Ouch! It hurts so much! Are you serious? Do you really want to take my life?"

"Hmph! Of course I'm serious. So what if I take your life? Who told you to lie to me..." As he said that, Qimugege raised his scimitar and slashed at Su Shikuan.

Seeing this, Su Shikuan knew that he was no match for her, so he could only flee in panic. However, Qimuge had no intention of letting him go and kept chasing him.

Su Shikuan saw a fruit stall in front of him and quickly hid under it. Qi Muge followed him, but couldn't find Su Shikuan. At this time, the stall owner found them and shouted angrily: "Hey! What are you two doing here? Go away! Don't disturb my business!"
