A Journey Through the Martial World After Transforming into a Loli

However, while the two of them were asleep, some people couldn't sleep, like Luo Qing right now. Today, he originally wanted to take Ling Xue and Ge Yao out for a trip to further improve his chances of winning them over.

The wedding day of Gu Youyue and Gu Jin is approaching. What he needs to do now is to give people the illusion that he is trying to pursue a woman, while also helping his father investigate the girl that Mo Ningyan brought back.

It is said that her cultivation level is extremely high, and she is also the biggest variable in this incident. She was not included in the original plan, but now that she has become a variable, she needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.

The best way to conduct a city-wide investigation without arousing suspicion was for him to take Ling Xue and Ge Yao for a stroll around Lianfeng City, and take the opportunity to send people out to investigate.

However, when he went to the academy today, he heard that the two of them had actually taken leave. He asked many people, but no one knew where they had gone. Wasn't this like seeing a ghost?

Although it would be difficult to find two people in such a large city as Lianfeng, it would also be difficult for them to disappear so completely. At the very least, they would leave some clues in the city.

Little did he know, these clues had already been completely erased. With the Valley Master's personal guards personally handling the removal, how could there possibly be any trace left?

If Luo Qing's elder brother were here, he might sense something was amiss. After all, although this place wasn't their family's main base, it had been painstakingly developed over a considerable period of time.

It is highly unusual that two ordinary women could disappear without a trace here.

Unfortunately, it was Luo Qing present, not his elder brother Luo Heng, so Luo Qing was still completely confused and didn't know what had happened.

"You guys, do you think those two women sensed something and ran away secretly?"

Luo Qing was extremely interested in prey that he hadn't yet devoured. He believed that a wife was not as good as a concubine, but even better than a stolen affair, and a stolen affair was not as good as one he couldn't have. He truly embodied this idea.

"I think it's impossible. Those two women are ordinary people. Even if that Ge Yao has some skills, it's only for self-defense and not for formal occasions. Maybe our people just overlooked her."

A man standing next to Luo Qing spoke first, but his words were completely unrelated to the truth; he was simply trying to persuade for the sake of persuasion, without any objective factors whatsoever.

“Young Master Luo, I think Marin is right. Those two women are just ordinary people. Besides, if they were going to leave, there would be some traces. Since there are no traces, they definitely haven’t left. Maybe they’re still in their own homes.”

"That's right. It's possible that one of them was sick and the other had to stay home to take care of her, which is why they couldn't come out. These things are not impossible."

As they chatted back and forth, they gradually pieced together the events of the day. Luo Qing frowned slightly, sensing that the matter was not so simple, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was amiss.

However, after hearing what they said, Luo Qing felt a little relieved.

"Hmph, if I weren't afraid of alerting them, those two women would have been in my bed long ago. But that girl named Ling Xue is indeed very charming. Sometimes I really can't bear to just force myself on her."

"That's right. Young Master Luo is a man who cherishes women. He would never do something so cruel as to destroy a beautiful woman."

The person next to him shamelessly started flattering him, which made Luo Qing's initial doubts disappear completely.

"Very good, you guys are quite good, but I'm not entirely satisfied with what you did this time. Let's leave it at that for now. If this kind of problem happens again next time, don't blame me for punishing you."

Feeling completely comfortable after being photographed, Luo Qing naturally wouldn't punish the two women who were just playthings in his eyes. Besides, they were all future scholars who would be in charge of various regions under the Luo family's control, and he needed to win them over properly now.

Just as everyone was about to speak, a pigeon flew into the room, and Luo Qing quickly caught its flapping wings in his hand.

After removing a rolled-up piece of paper from the pigeon's leg, the others, having already wisely left the room, left Luo Qing alone, quietly staring at the scroll with only a few words written on it. A strange smile appeared on his face.

The group of people who had walked out also left the room. Their places were not far apart, so they could travel together. However, the man named Marin turned his head strangely and glanced at Luo Qing's room.

Urged on by the crowd, Marin left with them. The bright moon shone on the quiet city, and no one knew what the future held.

Luo Qing finally saw the two girls he had been longing for. They were standing in front of the academy gate, seemingly talking about something, but judging from their expressions, they seemed to be arguing about something.

"Xueyi, what are you thinking? Is that a place you can go in? How can a child like you go in a place like that?"

He grew increasingly angry as he spoke, and his stern tone even startled Lin Xueyi, who quickly jumped back. Her small body made this adorable gesture, which even charmed Luo Qing, who hadn't yet come over.

Especially seeing her arms crossed over her chest, looking so pitifully frightened—hmm, if I could show her that look in bed, it would be even more perfect. What's this called? "Pitiable and heartbreaking"? I think so. Probably. Maybe. Perhaps?

"Sister, I'm just curious, that's all. There's really nothing else. Just take me there. There are usually so many people there, it won't matter if I'm one more."

Her pitiful voice and soft, adorable tone were irresistible to most people. However, Ge Xinyao wasn't going to indulge this little girl. The two had already agreed on how to proceed this time, and she naturally knew how to continue.

"What's there to be curious about? Is that kind of place something you can be curious about? You should stay here and study properly. You can't even study well, and you still want to go to that kind of place? No, even if you do study well, that kind of place is still not for you."

"Oh dear, sister, why are you being so troublesome? You're so heartless! I just want to go and see, is it really necessary? Besides, if you don't take me, I'll go by myself. You can't possibly tie me down and stop me from going, can you?"

No sooner had Ge Xinyao finished speaking than Lin Xueyi quickly retorted, her face flushed with annoyance and charm. This made Luo Qing's eyes light up. Although he didn't know what place they were talking about, was there any place in Lianfeng City that he couldn't enter?

Why doesn't he just take his people there? They're just going to take a look anyway, and they can even improve their image. It's a deal that's unlikely to lose money.

"You dare to sneak off like that? You're getting bolder and bolder here. Wait till I get back and teach you a lesson."

"Hehe, sister, are you really going to punish me? Hmph, I'll just sneak off to play then, and I won't take you with me."

The slightly mischievous look almost made Ge Xinyao's eyes pop out, but now was not the time to be distracted. There were still things to take care of, especially since she had already seen their target walking towards them out of the corner of her eye. She couldn't afford to reveal even the slightest flaw.

"I can't bear to, but look how reluctant I am. When we get home, I'll tie you to the bed and let you sneak away. If you dare to go again, I'll break your legs."

With a fierce glare and furious look, Lin Xueyi took a few steps back, pouted, and looked like she was about to cry, blinking her aggrieved eyes.

"My sister is a bad person, she just tries to scare me. I... I was just curious..."

Who could resist this? Ge Xinyao glanced at Luo Qing again out of the corner of her eye. Why was this man walking so slowly? It was infuriating! Didn't he know she was about to run out of steam? Especially with that little girl making such a cheating expression.

"What's there to be curious about? That's your business. If you were to go to a place like that, I'd give you a piece of my mind..."

Oh no, this girl is making that face again, looking all wronged, like a little kitten who's been wronged, shrinking back and looking at me with pitiful eyes, as if she's using her pathetic expression to accuse me of being cruel.

"Haha, what are you two arguing about? Why can't you two talk things out instead of starting a fight?"

Finally, when Ge Xinyao could no longer hold on, a glimmer of hope appeared, and Luo Qing finally spoke.

In fact, Luo Qing had noticed the argument between the two long ago, but it wasn't the best time for him to step in. He waited until the argument reached a fever pitch before stepping in to help Lin Xueyi out of the predicament, which made Lin Xueyi have a better impression of him.

"Mmm, Brother Luo Qing, you're finally here. Tell me about my sister. I just wanted to go to the casino, what's wrong with that? Why can't I go?"

Lin Xueyi was distressed, staring longingly at Luo Qing, shrinking back and secretly glancing at Ge Xinyao beside her. Her frightened little face almost melted Ge Xinyao's heart.

But at this moment, she dared not take any drastic action. Really, if Luo Qing hadn't been there, would she have had to endure this?

Luo Qing had no idea that Ge Xinyao was already annoyed by his appearance. At this moment, he was happily watching Lin Xueyi give him an expectant smile.

"Brother, take me to see it. I see there's a casino in the west of the city. Lots of people gamble there, and... and..."

"Besides, there's a decent brothel next to that casino, right? You don't just want to gamble at the casino, you also want to go to the brothel, right?"

Ge Xinyao wasn't going to tolerate this little girl and directly revealed her inner thoughts, which surprised Luo Qingdu as he looked at Lin Xueyi with delight. This girl wanted him to take her to a brothel.

This isn't something an ordinary relationship could achieve. Perhaps, just perhaps, an even better opportunity might arise there. Luo Qing felt this was a very good opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime chance. If he handled it well, he might even be able to win over her sister as well.

"Then, a dragon and two phoenixes would be perfect." Ge Xinyao looked at Luo Qing, who was beaming with excitement, and silently thought to herself, "It's just like Lin Xueyi said, 'Lust is a double-edged sword,' and this guy is going to die because of it."

"Okay, okay, little girl, I'll take you. Don't worry, wherever you want your brother to take you, your brother will take you, okay?"

"Mmm, Brother Luo Qing is the best. You mean stinky sister, you didn't even take me with you. I don't like you anymore."

Lin Xueyi let out a soft snort, making Ge Xinyao want to roll her eyes at her. This girl was simply a con artist who would kill anyone; she was trying to drag Luo Qing down with her.

It's obvious that even if he wasn't really trying to deceive him, if he took Lin Xueyi to a casino or a brothel, this was Lianfeng City, the stronghold of Youming Ghost Valley. If these things escaped Mo Ningyan's notice, she would eat the gates of this academy alive.

If Luo Qing couldn't escape Mo Ningyan's notice, he wouldn't have a good ending. It would be a miracle if he wasn't torn to pieces by Mo Ningyan. Looking at Luo Qing with sympathy, but then remembering the evil deeds he had committed, that sympathy turned into a look of utter contempt, as if he deserved it.

Main Text: Chapter 255 A Sneak Attack

As night fell, Ge Xinyao went to bed early. Tonight's activities had nothing to do with her, and besides, they didn't need her to be her protector.

Tonight, a more suitable person has emerged to be Xueyi's protector. Although she feels a pang of resentment, as if her own sister has been snatched away by someone else, her heart is filled with conflict. However, there is indeed a place between this person and Lin Xueyi that she simply cannot intrude upon.

At this time, Lin Xueyi had already arrived at the gambling den in the west of the city with Luo Qing. As for why they chose to come at night, that was due to Lin Xueyi's request during the day.

Luo Qing recalled how Lin Xueyi had looked at him expectantly during the day, her eyes filled with a mixture of grievance, pleading, and anticipation. No one could resist the pleading look in those adorable eyes.

"Brother Luo Qing, please take me tonight. There are too many people around during the day, I'm afraid... I'm afraid someone will find out. Brother, is that alright?"

The soft, adorable voice made Luo Qing's bones melt. How could he refuse at this moment? He quickly agreed, and that's how the current scene came about.

Luo Qing looked at the little girl dressed as a boy beside him. Her adorable appearance was simply irresistible. Indeed, the little girl was cute, and even dressed as a boy, she was still so lovable.

"The west side of the city is just ahead, and it's also the largest casino in Lianfeng City. How about it? Don't you want to go in and have some fun? Let me take you inside first."

"Yes, that's great. Thank you, Brother Luo Qing. Hmmm, Brother, do the other brothers know you're out this time? I... I'm afraid if they find out, we won't be able to keep it a secret anymore."

Her fingers and index fingertips were intertwined, her pink lips were pursed, and her clothes showed a worried yet shy expression, complex yet revealing the cuteness of a girl.

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid. They don't know I came out. I secretly brought you out this time. You have to keep your brother company for a while, okay?"

Luo Qing looked at the young girl, silently thinking about how to create the most suitable opportunity for himself in the brothel that night. Especially since Ge Yao hadn't come with them yet, it was practically a godsend.

Actually, he had wondered why Ge Yao hadn't come with him tonight, and why she trusted him so much. But after thinking about it, he figured maybe she was angry with Ling Xue, or perhaps his previous efforts hadn't been in vain, and that their wariness of him had been reduced to a minimum.

"Brother, let's go inside. It must be very lively there."

The dim yellow light from the outside is actually one of the brightest lights in Lianfeng City. And from the outside, you can even hear the lively sounds of gambling coming from inside.

The question of whether to bet on big or small is a scene that has appeared in movies and TV series, and Lin Xueyi is very familiar with it. However, she has never seen such a real scene before. She rushed in with curiosity, not even paying attention to Luo Qing behind her.

Luo Qing glanced around and, noticing nothing amiss, stepped inside. What greeted his eyes was the familiar and bustling gambling den.

The dice, dominoes, and other gambling tables were already surrounded by people, and there was nothing unusual about them. Luo Qing could only shake his head with a laugh, realizing that he was being a bit too sensitive and was actually worried that something might happen here.

Besides, Ling Xue came with him, so she didn't seem like she would be in any trouble. But speaking of Ling Xue, he couldn't see her anymore after just a short while, which made him a little worried.

It wasn't that he was worried about her safety, but rather that he was worried about what to do with his subsequent methods if he couldn't find her. Just as he was searching diligently, he saw a small figure appear inside.

Without a second thought, Luo Qing hurriedly followed her inside, his mind still grumbling about Lin Xueyi. This girl was completely disobedient, no wonder Ge Xinyao disagreed with bringing her along; she was such a hassle, and he didn't want to bring her again.

Luo Qing was so focused on finding Lin Xueyi that he didn't notice that the casino doors had been tightly closed and the windows had been blocked off. Almost all exit routes were locked.

After the outside passage was closed, the "gamblers" who had been surrounding the gambling table turned their fierce eyes to Luo Qing.

If he hadn't noticed anything unusual before, he would be truly foolish if he still couldn't see it now. Luo Qing frowned deeply, looking at Luo Qing staring intently at him, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

"What are you all doing? Why aren't you betting properly? Why are you all staring at me?"

"Of course they're watching you."

At this moment, Lin Xueyi, dressed in a pure white girl's outfit, slowly emerged from the second floor. Luo Qing had never imagined that Lin Xueyi would appear from the second floor, as that was usually where the owner of the place lived.

However, Lin Xueyi's appearance at this moment made him very uneasy, no, he should be said to feel very terrified, because she no longer had the admiring look in her eyes as before. The indifference and even contempt in her eyes now made him feel like he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"you...."

"Tsk tsk. What's wrong? Is it strange? Oh, right, you must really want to hear me call you Brother Luo Qing again, right? But I think it's probably not going to happen again, don't you think, Ruoxue?"

"That's natural."

After hearing Lin Xueyi's words, Luo Qing heard another unfamiliar voice, but when the red dress appeared in front of him, he was completely dumbfounded.

"Valley Master... Valley Master... why... why are you here?"
