Although the little apprentice sister is weak, she can fight

creak-

The wooden door was opened from the outside.

The young man in black who had fought with Shen Qiao before closed the door and walked in with a basin of water. However, before he reached the bed, he found that it was empty.

"Where are you looking for me?"

The sound coming from above his head immediately made the young man look up vigilantly, and saw that the man who was dying before was now sitting cross-legged on the beam. He looked so calm that it was impossible to tell that he was a man with internal injuries and a broken arm.

Shen Qiao propped his chin with one hand and looked down at the young man's red pupils, which had been enlarged by the accident. He tapped his cheek with his fingers with interest. "Actually, I've always wanted to ask you, is this eye color natural, or do you have some kind of eye mask?"

When the young man heard her mention his pupil color, his eyes suddenly darkened, and he ordered in the same emotionless and stiff tone as before: "Come down."

Shen Qiao smiled, "You come up, and I'll go down."

bump!

Before he finished speaking, Shen Qiao saw the man suddenly disappear from where he was, and then there was a gust of wind blowing behind his head.

She reacted very quickly, leaning over with one hand, half hanging in the air on the beam. Looking at the young man who had suddenly appeared behind her, Shen Qiao was obviously interested. "I didn't have enough fun in front of your city lord just now, so now I can let go."

The young man was a little surprised that his attack missed, but in just a moment of hesitation, Shen Qiao had already pushed hard with one hand, used the shaking force to swing himself back to the beam and kicked him.

The young man didn't expect Shen Qiao to come up again, so he raised his hands and barely caught it. Then he inevitably staggered back a few steps on the beam because he didn't stand firmly. However, Shen Qiao showed no mercy and hit him in the face with a fist. He didn't have time to defend himself and was hit by the punch. He was forced to fall off the beam by this blow.

Seeing that he was about to smash another table, the young man twisted his waist forcefully when he was about to touch the table, and slammed one hand on the table to push it up. With the help of the mutually offsetting momentum, he quickly adjusted his posture and landed steadily.

Shen Qiao took advantage of this break to carefully look at this person. She noticed that there seemed to be a thin black line on the left side of the young man's jaw with braided hair. This mark was not there when they fought before, and it should have just appeared. The strokes looked somewhat similar to the "thorn" on Cui Hongjin's left eye. Putting the two together, this thing might not be a tattoo, but a mark of a contract.

"You're not human?" Shen Qiao guessed. After all, judging from their two exchanges, although this person didn't possess any spiritual power, he possessed strength and agility beyond that of a mortal. Add to that those red eyes...

Tsk, red eyes? She remembered reading about this mural in a miscellaneous book. It said that the mural seemed to depict a five-clawed black snake with red eyes. But that seemed a bit absurd. How many years had this mural existed? How could it have become a spirit?

She was now full of curiosity, but the young man didn't say anything, just looked at her with hostility.

The two of them stared at each other for a long time. Just when Shen Qiao was about to suspect that this young man was intermittently mute, he heard him finally speak again.

"Why, you're okay."

The voice still sounded dry. Although Shen Qiao wanted to test it a little more, he thought about it and decided to get down to business first.

"I want to meet your landlord." Shen Qiao tried to resolve the matter peacefully.

In fact, if they really wanted to fight, Shen Qiao had plenty of ways to subdue him, but it would inevitably make some noise. If the people in the building were called in, it would be a bad outcome.

"I have no ill intentions. Your city lord and I share the same goal. Perhaps we can cooperate."

The young man obviously didn't believe it. Shen Qiao only saw him clench one hand into a fist and slightly hunch his body.

Shen Qiao: "...I'm serious."

The young man's eyes flashed, and he took a heavy step and flew up, jumping directly to the same height as Shen Qiao and hitting her in the face.

Shen Qiao took a step back and let himself fall from the beam. When he was about to touch the ground, the bracelet on his wrist turned into an umbrella, and the tip of the umbrella touched the ground. Shen Qiao used the force to turn over and just stood up, the young man had already chased down from above and punched the ground.

If Shen Qiao hadn't dodged quickly, the punch that shattered the floor would have landed on her.

"Ha...didn't anyone tell you not to hit someone in the face?"

The young man didn't say a word, and even as soon as he paused, he walked over quickly with a fierce look and started to hit with his fist.

You don’t listen, do you?

There was a hint of darkness in Shen Qiao's eyes. When he was about to be punched, instead of dodging, he retracted Que Yuan and raised his arm to take it.

The young man was startled again when he saw that she didn't use the umbrella in her hand to block it. However, the next second, he saw Shen Qiao raised her fist just like him and hit him hard in the face.

Bang! !

The loud noise startled Zhang Zhi and Zhu Yu who were going upstairs. They looked at each other and then rushed upstairs without any hesitation.

The barrier on the seventh floor had been removed long before Cui Hongjin left. Zhu Yu stepped onto the seventh floor first. Zhang Zhi, breathlessly, hurriedly reminded him from behind, "Turn left! The third..."

Before Zhang Zhi could finish his words, Zhu Yu had already broken into the room. However, when he saw the scene inside the room clearly, he suddenly stopped.

The house was in a mess, with broken wood pieces flying everywhere and even dust falling from the roof.

Shen Qiao, who still looked like a man, was leaning against the only relatively intact chair in the room to reconnect the bones of his left arm. When Zhu Yu walked in, he heard a crisp "click".

"Brother Zhu? Why are you here?" Shen Qiao tried to move his shoulders as if he was not afraid of the pain.

Zhu Yu frowned and walked into the room with a dark face, "Who did this?"

"Look, everything is fine now." Shen Qiao nodded towards the inner room.

Zhu Yu then looked at the person lying on the ground, his life or death unknown.

Zhang Zhi also followed closely at this time. As soon as he appeared, he didn't say a word and was choked by the dust in the room and started coughing violently.

Shen Qiao snorted and laughed, "He is the guard of the Lord of Bishui City, but I always feel that he is not a human being."

Zhu Yu: "...monster?"

"Ah."

As Shen Qiao spoke, she stood up and walked over. Zhu Yu saw her bend down, grab the back of the young man's collar and drag him to the chair, then she took out a pill from her storage pocket, roughly pinched the young man's chin and stuffed it into his mouth.

Looking at the young man whose face turned black due to the pill being stuck, Zhang Zhi always felt that Shen Qiao's behavior seemed to be mixed with some personal grudges.

While waiting for the medicine to take effect, Shen Qiao finally found time to ask, "We have to take him with us, otherwise we won't know where the city lord is. By the way, why are you all here? Where are the others?"
