When Su Ning woke up in the morning, she saw Yue Zijin and Tang Xi whispering to each other.

It's really a bit strange without Pei Yunlian. As for You Xunchun, she's never seen anyone else, and Su Ning is used to it.

I hope he was drawing.

What are you talking about?

A soft, girlish voice sounded behind them. Yue Zijin was startled and was about to say it was nothing, but Tang Xi blurted out, "This guy didn't sleep last night; he went to catch thieves and has now gotten himself into trouble, so he wants me to help him."

Tang Xi looked indifferent, but Yue Zijin gave her a resentful look, "What trouble? That's called acting on behalf of Heaven."

Although Yue Zijin was unjustly dragged into this matter, it happened right before his eyes, so how could he really sit idly by?

Otherwise, who knows how many more people this philandering butterfly would harm.

Last night he went to find Xu Heyu and finally understood everything.

The bounty notice was a fabrication he made up back in Su Family Village, claiming that Pei Yunlian had killed the third-ranked Tiger-Faced Overlord. It was just a way to scare the villagers who had never seen much of the world.

Now I've actually met the villains on that list.

This bounty was created by the Hezong Alliance, the former number one righteous sect, in order to kill all the most heinous criminals in the world. Now, the world has changed, and although the Hezong Alliance no longer exists, this bounty still serves as a standard for people to measure good and evil.

Flower Butterfly, currently ranked fourth on the list, is, according to reliable intelligence, male, likes men, enjoys wearing women's clothing, is self-taught, and has no famous sect behind him.

I don't know when I acquired a wicked skill that requires the blood of women to enhance it, especially young girls.

Thus began his life of causing trouble. However, he was skilled in footwork, and although some righteous disciples discovered his whereabouts, he would always escape whenever they rushed over.

If the Su Nu and Xuan Nu factions hadn't chosen him as their test subject, they probably wouldn't have been able to fight him to a standstill last night.

As early as last night, after the butterfly spotted him, he took the opportunity to plant a soul-attracting bee on the man. It was truly a powerful tool for tracking others.

He thanked the Seven Star Chamber of Commerce; he would definitely try to squeeze more money out of them next time he saw them.

"So you want Xixi to help you lure out the butterflies?"

Su Ning looked at Yue Zijin and asked the question that had been bothering her.

"I don't really care. This philanderer has harmed countless people. If I can get rid of him myself, it wouldn't be a bad thing." Tang Xi shrugged.

What annoyed her was Yue Zijin's talent for causing trouble; how come he always seemed to run into all sorts of things?

"That butterfly was already at a disadvantage last night against Zhu Qing and Xu Heyu, and he must need women's blood to heal his wounds, not to mention how many of those he captured are still alive."

"I think if new blood were to appear, he certainly wouldn't be able to resist."

"It's a pity that he must know something about the Xuan Nu and Su Nu factions, and won't be easily fooled. To avoid alerting them, we need to use unfamiliar faces," Yue Zijin explained.

This is why he sought out Tangxi to discuss it early in the morning.

Su Ning looked at the two of them, hesitated for a moment, and then voiced her thoughts: "If we're talking about who can be the bait to lure out the butterflies, I think I'm the most suitable candidate, right?"

Tangxi and Yuezi were surprised that Su Ning would volunteer herself, and immediately denied it in unison: "No way!"

The two looked at each other, and Yue Zijin was the first to speak up, "Su Su, you don't know how terrifying that butterfly is. I felt my skills had improved, but last night he took me down completely. You definitely can't do it."

Yue Zi shook his head like a rattle drum.

After a moment's thought, Tang Xi slowly spoke, "I know you mean well, but I've never actually fought that 'flower butterfly' before, and I don't know his strength. If you really act as bait, I can't guarantee I can protect you."

Su Ning knew that neither of them would consider her.

But her purpose in coming here was not to meet the Flower Butterfly, but rather—Yu Xinglai.

Yu Xinglai has not shown his face yet, and Su Ning does not want to waste this opportunity. Since he has come all this way, there must be a reason why he has not shown his face.

Su Ning didn't care about his reasons; she only cared about the result.

So she's going to use herself as bait. When she's in danger, will the other party really turn a blind eye?

Su Ning was very curious.

If he really doesn't show up, Su Ning won't force him. But from now on, she will never give him another chance.

If he doesn't come, Su Ning naturally has ways to protect herself.

So no matter what, she had to take advantage of the butterfly's influence.

Looking at the two disapproving faces in front of her, Su Ning pinched her thigh hard with her fingers hidden in her sleeve, and the sharp pain instantly spread.

Her head was lowered, her long eyelashes trembling like butterfly wings fluttering in the wind, which suddenly brought tears to her eyes.

Before the tears could fall, she sniffed, her voice as soft as damp cotton, tinged with a forced sob: "I...I just wanted to help you..."

"You act on behalf of Heaven, but I don't want to be protected only by you..."

As she spoke, her shoulders shrugged slightly, and she rubbed the back of her hand haphazardly against the corner of her eye, revealing a section of her fair wrist that looked pitifully pale, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Yue Zijin immediately panicked. "Oh dear, don't cry! I'm the useless one. I couldn't even last three moves against Hua Hudie. You're much more useful than me."

Tangxi obviously didn't expect the other party to think of her that way. That's right, Susu can't practice martial arts, and she must feel envious every time she sees them kill the villains.

Tangxi cursed herself for being so brainless, how could she not notice the other person's emotions?

The two men couldn't bear to see a woman cry, but thankfully Tangxi finally spoke up. They steeled themselves and nodded, "Go then, but remember, once you see the butterfly, run as far away as possible."

"As soon as that person shows even a head, I'll charge out and make sure you don't get hurt."

Yue Zijin's eyes widened, seemingly surprised that the other party had betrayed them so quickly. He winked at Tang Xi: You just agreed to her like that?

Tangxi gave him a look that seemed to say: "What else? Can you bear to see her cry?"

Su Ning: Yes, the plan succeeded.

Unseen by anyone, a door on the upper floor was open, and a wisp of light blue clothing brushed past.
