Chapter 622 Encountering Black Pearl

Chu Liuxiang glanced at the fleeing Shen Shangu, then turned to Jin Banhua, "Brother Jin, aren't you going to chase after her?"

"Miss Shen is quite distracted right now. If Brother Jin could comfort her with kind words, it might be possible for her to get close to her." Chu Liuxiang said with a smile.

Jin Banhua shook her head, "I am not interested in Miss Shen now."

"Oh?" Chu Liuxiang raised his eyebrows.

Jin Banhua looked at the scroll on the table and said, "I'm only interested in this painting now."

Chu Liuxiang smiled bitterly and advised, "But this painting was taken 20 years ago. Even if Madam Qiu was as beautiful as a fairy back then, she is now an old woman in her forties."

Jin Banhua pointed at Chu Liuxiang who was putting the scroll away, "But it's hard to be unwilling to not see each other, isn't it the same for Brother Zhang?"

Liao Gang and Ye Jinzhi were horrified when they heard this.

Sir, didn’t you hear what Sun Xuepu said just now?

That is not a simple character. Not only is she called a witch, but she is also obviously involved in a mysterious and terrifying incident. This is not something we can get involved in!
Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but touch his nose, "I looked for her because of another matter."

Jin Banhua nodded and said, "That's even better. We won't have any conflicts."

Chu Liuxiang, "..."

Chu Liuxiang sighed and finally told the truth, "Brother Jin, because of this woman, four well-known masters in the martial arts world have died, and the murderer's martial arts skills are extremely high. It is very dangerous to participate in this matter."

Hearing this, Jin Banhua hadn't said anything yet, but Sun Xuepu was stunned, "Four?"

"Yes, four." Chu Liuxiang looked at Sun Xuepu, "The four people who had a relationship with Madam Qiu and received her portrait, and the four people who came out of seclusion again because of her letter for help, are all dead."

Sun Xuepu's face changed suddenly.

"Not only are these four people dead, but several people who knew the contents of the letter are also dead. This is only because the murderer didn't want me to know their relationship with her. This shows that Madam Qiu's difficulties have not been resolved."

Chu Liuxiang said calmly, "So... I know you are still hiding something, maybe you still want to protect her, but if you are still unwilling to tell her what you know, maybe she is really in danger."

Sun Xuepu was silent for a moment, and finally said, "You just forgot to ask me one thing."

"what's up?"

"You forgot to ask me where I painted her portrait."

"where is it?"

"There is a Wuyi Temple five miles outside the city. I painted her portrait there. The abbot of the temple, Master Suxin, is her best friend. He must know her whereabouts." Sun Xuepu said.

Chu Liuxiang's eyes lit up, he reached out and picked up the scroll, and in a blink of an eye he was out of the room. At the same time, a voice came from afar, "Although my eyes are blind, my heart is not blind. If I use my heart as my eyes, can't I paint? Brother Sun, think about it carefully and take care of yourself."

Sun Xuepu was horrified and asked loudly, "Thank you for your guidance. May I ask your name?"

Unfortunately, he didn't have any internal energy, so his voice couldn't be sent out, and by then Chu Liuxiang had already gone far away.

But Jin Banhua was still there. After waiting for a while, Wuhua, who was supposed to appear outside the house, did not appear. Instead, the sound of wind in the wind was faintly heard not far away, and then it faded away.

Jin Banhua narrowed her eyes and understood.

Although Wuhua is cruel and ruthless, he never kills anyone who doesn't need to be killed.

Whether it was killing Zuo Youzheng, Ximen Qian, Lingjiuzi, Zhamuhe, or killing Yang Song, Song Gang, Tianyingzi or even Nangong Ling, they all had a purpose.

He was obviously an innocent person who was just joining in the fun, so Wuhua didn't intend to kill him, so he didn't show up, and also let Sun Xuepu go, who had already finished speaking. Letting him go was just like he let Leng Qiuhun and Shen Shangu go.

"Damn it, I was ignored." Jin Banhua muttered to herself, patted Sun Xuepu's arm, left a silver ingot, and then waved to Liao Gang and Ye Jin, "Let's go."

Ye Jin asked, "Are we going to Wuyi Temple?"

Jin Banhua shook her head. Master Suxin had died long ago, and Wuyi Temple had become a house of horrors. What was the point of going there?
"It's getting dark, let's go eat first, then go back to Kuaiyi Hall!" Jin Banhua said leisurely, "We won more than 100,000 taels of silver yesterday, so we must continue to work hard and press on to win today, right?"

Liao Gang and Ye Jin: ???

……

After returning to the city and having dinner, when they returned to the main street and were about to go to Kuaiyi Hall, they heard the sound of horse hooves and a black horse galloped over with a young man in black sitting on its back.

Black cloak, black shirt, black belt, black leather boots, and a pale face.

At the same time, four or five beggars suddenly jumped out from the alley beside the road, young and old, some empty-handed or holding sticks, and attacked the young man in black.

"You little thief hurt our Beggars' Sect elder, come back with us and kowtow to apologize!"

"The gang leader and the four guardians have already been dispatched. You can't escape!"

Before they could get close, a long black whip suddenly flew out from the hand of the young man in black, like a poisonous dragon coming out of a cave, splitting the light and leaving behind several afterimages.

Before the beggars got close, they were whipped one after another and fell out screaming.

"Humph, the Beggars' Sect is really a bunch of rubbish. They pretend to be righteous all day long and only rely on numbers." The young man in black sneered, "You are a bunch of stinky beggars. I will beat you up every time I see you!"

Everyone around was terrified and moved away, only Jin Banhua stood not far away and watched with interest.

Not paying any attention to the wailing of the Beggars' Sect disciples, the young man in black rode his horse to Jin Banhua's side and glanced at her, "Do you know where Kuai Yi Tang is?"

"Of course I know. I'm going to Kuaiyi Hall now!" Jin Banhua said with a smile, "How about we go together?"

The young man in black nodded and said coldly, "Lead the way!"

"Okay!" Jin Banhua nodded and said to Liao Gang, "Let's go, you lead the way!"

Liao Gang was frightened and wanted to pull Jin Banhua away, but feeling the cold gaze of the young man in black, he dared not speak and could only walk in front to lead the way.

Jin Banhua naturally walked beside the young man in black.

The young man in black is Black Pearl, the daughter of Jamuka, the king of the desert. She is dressed as a man, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and looks heroic. Even Chu Liuxiang couldn't recognize her, which shows how handsome she is.

"Brother, do you want to go to Kuaiyitang to play a few hands?" Jin Banhua asked, "Kuaiyitang is indeed the largest casino in Jinan, but the stakes are also high. Brother, do you have enough money? Do you need some support from me?"

Black Pearl looked at Jin Banhua and sneered, "Are you rich?"

"Yes, I'm very rich." Jin Banhua said with a smile.

Black Pearl sneered disdainfully and said deliberately, "In that case, lend me 100,000 taels for fun."

"It's a small matter!" Jin Banhua nodded, decisively took out the silver bills from her arms, and counted out 100,000 taels of silver bills to her.

Black Pearl looked at the silver note handed to her, then raised her head and glared at Jin Banhua.

For the daughter of the Desert King, one hundred thousand taels of silver was certainly not a large sum, but it was still beyond her expectation that a man she had just met would casually give her one hundred thousand taels of silver notes.
