Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 625 The Darkened Sword Maniac of the Martial World vs. the Cunning Enchantress (11)

Shi Zhengchun's eyes lit up the moment he saw Shen Shuyi. He wanted to go over and greet her, but Su Qingyao grabbed his sleeve.

"Shi Lang, I'm hungry, shall we order some food quickly?"

Su Qingyao had seen Shen Shuyi, and the thought of how she had been wronged by Granny Liu filled her with shame and indignation. She didn't want to see this woman in the red dress at all.

Shi Zhengchun gently patted her hand, "Okay, we'll order whatever you like to eat."

Qingyao was frightened and needed his comfort at that moment.

As for Miss Shen, she should understand. She used to be so understanding and wouldn't be jealous over something like this.

Even if he gets jealous, he'll just comfort him later.

Shen Shuyi didn't even glance at Shi Zhengchun before she went to the innkeeper to book a room.

"Oh, sir, what a coincidence, there's only one superior room left."

Shen Shuyi glanced at Xie Xinghe, "I want to stay."

Xie Xinghe paid without hesitation.

Shen Shuyi nodded in satisfaction and then asked the waiter to bring hot water and food to her room.

Shi Zhengchun and the others kept their eyes on her. Apart from Shi Zhengchun and Su Qingyao, no one else recognized the beautiful girl in the red dress.

But they know Xie Xinghe from a prestigious and upright family!

Xie Xinghe, the young master of the Canglan Sword Sect, is rumored to be a sword fanatic who is indifferent to women, but now he is traveling with a girl and they have even booked a room together!

Shi Zhengchun panicked. Wasn't Miss Shen in love with him? How could she be with Xie Xinghe?!

Su Qingyao noticed that Shi Zhengchun was distracted and that his gaze kept falling on the woman in the red dress.

She asked tentatively, "Shi Lang, do you know that girl?"

"Yes, I met Miss Shen who was kidnapped by bandits when I was at Shaoshi Mountain, and we traveled together for a while afterward."

Su Qingyao frowned. "She was kidnapped by thugs? How many thugs?"

"I remember there were two."

Su Qingyao immediately sensed something was wrong. That Miss Shen was highly skilled in martial arts, and more than a dozen thugs were no match for her. How could she be held hostage by two thugs?

It must be this wicked woman who used the "hero saves the beauty" tactic to seduce and bewitch Shi Lang!

“Shi Lang, you don’t know this, but I also know that girl.”

"Oh? Qingyao, tell me, how did you two meet?" Shi Zhengchun became interested. If they could get along well, then they could all be together in the future.
Su Qingyao downplayed the abduction incident, saying, "That Miss Shen's martial arts skills are superb; she defeated the thugs in no time."

"But... I've been kidnapped by criminals."

She gently tugged at Shi Zhengchun's sleeve, tearfully recounting the perilous situation she had faced, yet also generously said...

"Shi Lang, I know that Miss Shen did not mean to abandon me to my fate."

"She was probably afraid that the assailant would hurt me, so she deliberately approached him step by step to distract him."

"Although I was injured in the neck and almost killed by the thugs, I will not blame Miss Shen for it."

"She was also prioritizing the bigger picture."

Shi Zhengchun was stunned.

The other fellow disciples present were indignant upon hearing this, saying, "Miss Su, you are just too kind."

"It's because you're too naive that you didn't realize how wicked that Miss Shen is. She's so capable, why didn't she save you first before killing the thugs?!"

Su Qingyao gently shook her head, "No, I don't believe Miss Shen is that kind of person."

"She shouldn't be a bad person. The young master of the Canglan Sword Sect has been with her all along."

Shi Zhengchun turned around abruptly and instinctively grabbed Su Qingyao's wrist. "Qingyao, you're saying they were already together back then?!"

Su Qingyao seemed startled, and she trembled as she withdrew her hand. "Shi Lang, are you very concerned?"

"Maybe...maybe I misread it. I'm feeling a little unwell, I'll go back to my room to rest first, you guys eat."

When her fellow disciples saw her going upstairs in a bad mood, they immediately started to tease her, "Senior Brother, Miss Su is not feeling well, you should go and see her quickly."

"Yes, Senior Brother, Miss Su just said she was hungry. Please bring some food up quickly."

Shi Zhengchun packed some food and went upstairs. Right now, he could only appease Qingyao and would find Miss Shen later.

As soon as the person left, the few fellow disciples sitting around the square table began to whisper among themselves.

"My senior brother is really lucky with women."

"I wonder which sect that highly skilled Miss Shen belongs to. With her stunning beauty, I've never heard of her before." "She is definitely the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world."

"Otherwise, how could even a sword fanatic like Young Master Xie have been tempted?"

It was quite a coincidence that Shen Shuyi and Xie Xinghe's room was right next to Su Qingyao's.

When the waiter came in to deliver hot water, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Shen Shuyi.

Shen Shuyi noticed the gaze and immediately looked up to meet it coldly.

The waiter quickly lowered his head. "Sir, the water is ready. Please let me know if you need anything."

"Go out. Don't disturb my rest unless it's absolutely necessary."

"okay!"

Shen Shuyi didn't rush to take a shower, but instead glanced at the room, which looked fairly clean.

"You take a shower first, I'll go out and get the food."

"That's too much trouble. Didn't the waiter say it would be brought up?"

Xie Xinghe continued to do as he pleased. Shen Shuyi watched his departing figure and knew without a doubt that he was avoiding her and wanted to wait until she finished showering before returning.

Shen Shuyi took a nice, relaxing shower, and just as she got up and dressed, there was a knock on her door.

"it's me."

"come in."

Xie Xinghe placed the steaming hot food on the table, and then she noticed that the man's clothes had also been changed.

She asked curiously, "Did you take a bath?"

"Hmm," Xie Xinghe responded indifferently.

The two tacitly agreed not to say anything more; the drug's effects were likely to kick in again tonight, and after dinner, they'd probably have to get to work.
In this wilderness, the food at the inn is quite ordinary. Even if you specifically ask for the best dishes, there is only one meat dish, one vegetable dish, and one soup. Fortunately, the portions are large.

Shen Shuyi was indeed hungry, and just as she was about to start eating, Xie Xinghe took out a silver needle to test for poison.

The silver needles remained unchanged.

Just as Shen Shuyi picked up a piece of green vegetable and was about to eat it, she sniffed and quickly called out to Xie Xinghe.

"and many more!"

Xie Xinghe looked up at her. "What is it?"

"This dish has been poisoned."

Xie Xinghe didn't touch his chopsticks. For some reason, he trusted the demoness more than the silver needles.

Perhaps it's because the demoness was a master of poisons.

Shen Shuyi put down her chopsticks and frowned. "We've ended up staying at a shady inn."

"No wonder, there's no village or shop in sight here."

Xie Xinghe stood up, took his sword and looked around. He lifted the blankets on the bed and lifted the mattress, finding bloodstains and cut marks underneath.

One can imagine those who were drugged being killed by the thieves while they were still unconscious.

Shen Shuyi went to the window and also found many traces of swords and knives.

Xie Xinghe frowned and turned to leave.

Shen Shuyi tugged at his sleeve, "Are you going to tell the guests at the inn?"

"let go."

Shen Shuyi snorted, "It's probably too late for you to go now. When you came up, everyone had already eaten in the lobby and gone back to their rooms to rest."

"No matter how loudly you shout, probably no one will answer."

Xie Xinghe stopped in his tracks.

Shen Shuyi pressed her advantage, "A sneak attack, you understand?"

"Don't underestimate this little black shop. Who knows how many highly skilled martial artists there are? You and I are still seriously injured. Going out rashly would be suicide."

She had barely finished speaking when she leaped out of the window and onto the roof.

Shen Shuyi: "..."
