The relationship between the two did not seem to be that of a kidnapper and a hostage-taker as rumored.

One can't help but wonder what exactly happened between him and Yin Xinyue.

But Li Xiaohu has become serious now.

Hong Guniang could only suppress her doubts and replied, "Just say what's on your mind."

Seeing that Hong Gu was open and honest, Li Xiaohu also got straight to the point and said, "I would like to ask you to help me make an introduction."

"I would like to meet with your head of the household."

I thought that given his relationship with Miss Hong...

Hong Gu would agree immediately.

But who knows.

Suddenly, Hong Guniang's expression turned serious. She sighed and said, "It's not that I don't want to help you with this."

"The boss is busy with something important lately and it's inconvenient for him to see outsiders."

"If it's anything else, I'll definitely help you if I can."

After saying that, he shook his head, seemingly very reluctant to discuss the matter.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaohu frowned, paused, and then said, "Now that things have come to this, I won't beat around the bush anymore."

“I know what you’re doing.”

Hong was taken aback by his words and asked in disbelief, "What do you know?"

Li Xiaohu nodded and got straight to the point: "You want to rob the Ping Mountain Yuan Tomb deep in Old Bear Ridge!"

Hong Guniang jumped up from her chair and asked incredulously, "How did you know?"

Li Xiaohu gave an awkward smile.

He can't very well say it's the memory of a time traveler, can he?

So he made up an excuse and said, "Don't forget, I do this kind of work too."

"We've heard that there are many tombs hidden deep in Old Bear Ridge, and there may even be a large Yuan Dynasty tomb in Ping Mountain!"

"Moreover."

Li Xiaohu said with a hint of sarcasm, "Your Xieling has been making such big moves lately, blocking off the entire area within a hundred miles of Old Bear Ridge so early on. You must have something in mind."

"It's hard for your peers not to know what you're up to."

That’s all for the sake of talking about it.

Hong Guniang could no longer hide anything, and after a helpless sigh, she agreed to Li Xiaohu's request.

"But let me make this clear beforehand," the girl in red explained, "I will pass on the message for you."

"But whether the boss sees you or not is not up to me."

Li Xiaohu smiled confidently and said, "You just need to go back and tell your boss."

"If you tell him I have a way to deal with the poisonous insects, mirages, and mountain spirits in Old Bear Ridge, he will definitely want to see me!"

Hong Gu Niang glanced at Li Xiao Hu in surprise, then slowly nodded.

Finally, he slowly stood up and said with a hint of reluctance, "Then I'll head back now."

Li Xiaohu got up to see him off.

As the two reached the door, Hong Guniang turned back and gave Yin Xinyue a meaningful look, then softly asked Li Xiaohu.

"Now that you've come, will you leave again?"

Li Xiaohu said helplessly, "Hong Gu, you know that."

"People in our line of work are sometimes truly not in control of their own lives."

"Sigh," the girl in red sighed regretfully, "I'll leave it here."

Then he turned and left.

Li Xiaohu watched Hong Guniang until she disappeared from sight before turning around and going into the house.

As soon as I sat down.

Yin Xinyue couldn't wait to ask, "Who exactly is she? What happened between you two?"

Li Xiaohu recalled the details of that time.

He then recounted a story with a touch of emotion.

Hong Guniang was born in the Moon Gate and learned superb ancient magic tricks, and has been performing in the martial arts world ever since.

Unexpectedly, because of her beautiful appearance, she caught the eye of a powerful and wealthy man and was forced into marriage.

Unfortunately, the Hong family were all of strong character and refused to submit, even at the cost of their lives. Her father was also forced to his death by powerful figures.

Enraged, Hong Guniang single-handedly slaughtered the entire family of a powerful nobleman, and later rebelled and went to Changsheng Mountain, becoming a bandit leader.

Then, during a mission, he met Li Xiaohu.

The two accomplished many great things together.

Some feelings naturally developed during the journey.

Hong Guniang was straightforward and boldly expressed her feelings, wanting to invite Li Xiaohu to go to Changsheng Mountain with her.

But Li Xiaohu knew he would never be able to settle down in his life, so he politely declined Hong Guniang's offer.

Who knew that Miss Hong wouldn't play by the rules? One time, after getting him drunk, she actually took the initiative to sleep with him!

When I woke up the next day...

Everything that was going to happen has happened.

Yin Xinyue heard this.

After learning about Hong Gu Niang's tragic past, she gradually let go of her prejudices and even felt some sympathy for her.

But Li Xiaohu frowned in disgust and muttered, "You actually slept with someone and then didn't take responsibility?"

Li Xiaohu said, feeling wronged, "Don't you have ears?"

"I already told you I was the one who was slept with!"

As if she couldn't hear, Yin Xinyue asked again, "Then what about her leaving without saying goodbye?"

"Sigh." Li Xiaohu sighed again and murmured, "I received the news."

"One of my senior classmates has been in trouble, and I must go and save him!"

"Unfortunately......"

Li Xiaohu suddenly became melancholy.

"In the end, my senior brother still..."

Yin Xinyue didn't know what to say at this point, so she sighed and comforted them, "Everyone and everything has its own destiny."

"Fate!" Li Xiaohu's eyes suddenly hardened!

"All I've done is to change these so-called destinies!"

Yin Xinyue was a little scared by Li Xiaohu.

She opened her mouth, but ultimately stopped speaking.

However, I also began to feel curious.

What exactly does Li Xiaohu want to do to achieve his so-called defying fate?

"Let's go." Li Xiaohu suddenly stood up.

"Let's go to another room to rest."

The room's furnishings had been ruined by him and Miss Hong, making it inconvenient to rest.

The two found the owner and changed rooms, getting the most comfortable sleep they'd had in days.

After waking up.

They enjoyed another delicious meal of Xiangxi specialties.

The two returned to the room.

Yin Xinyue suddenly spoke up and asked, "Rogue."

"Do you think the leader of the Red Girl group will agree to meet you?"

Li Xiaohu smiled confidently.

He was absolutely certain about this matter.

"He will."

Yin Xinyue asked with great interest, "Are you that confident?"

Li Xiaohu shrugged and replied, "Just wait and see."

Less than half a day had passed.
