Chapter 13 They're so arrogant!
Mo Xuewei and Qian Renxue stepped forward. Qian Renxue shielded Mo Xuewei and Qianye behind her, and looked at Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai warily with sharp eyes, as if she wanted to kill them with her eyes.
Ma Hongjun shuddered, feeling a chill run down his spine. He instinctively hid behind Dai Mubai, his intuition telling him that these two people were not to be trifled with.
Dai Mubai wasn't as timid as him. Although this was in Tiandou City, and as a prince of the Star Luo Empire, he should have kept a low profile, he was used to being the big brother.
Dai Mubai stepped forward, sizing Qian Renxue up and down. "Who are you? What's it to you?"
Qian Renxue frowned slightly; she didn't like being looked at like that.
Mo Xuewei stepped forward and put her hand on Qian Renxue's shoulder. "We're her friends. Do you think it has anything to do with us?"
Qian Renxue glanced at Mo Xuewei, who gave her a look, signaling her not to make a move.
If they suddenly cause a scene here, it will inevitably attract attention. It wouldn't be worth it for their identities to be exposed in a place like this.
Qian Renxue was naturally aware of the interests involved, and she wouldn't act rashly. She had only intended to put some pressure on them earlier.
Tang San was cautious when he saw the two of them. They had been watching them ever since they entered the brothel, and he had also been observing them for a while. He didn't know what they were planning to do.
Tang San didn't speak immediately; he needed to figure out the origins of the two people in front of him, one dressed as a man and the other as a woman.
He was determined to get what he wanted, so of course he wouldn't give it up easily.
He exchanged a glance with Dai Mubai, who then spoke up, "Do you even know her name? You just claim to be her friend? You can't just randomly pick a friend like that, can you? Or are you also after this soul tool, and just want to stage a hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress act to steal it?"
The defamatory words were thrown directly at Mo Xuewei and Qian Renxue. Qian Ye, who was being protected by the two of them, felt a pang of unease. She realized that Dai Mubai's words made sense. Her eyes were lowered, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
Mo Xuewei hated it most when people made malicious speculations and threw mud at her. She rolled her eyes at Dai Mubai and said, "We also have designs on this soul tool? So, you admit that you have designs on what she has?"
After speaking, Mo Xuewei turned to look at Qianye, and asked gently with a smile, "Little sister, what's your name? Let's get to know each other, shall we?"
Chiba timidly looked up and said, "My name is Xu Chiba."
"Okay, my name is Mo Xuewei. From now on, we are friends."
Withdrawing her gaze from Xu Qianye, Mo Xuewei continued to look at Dai Mubai, "Not everyone has such filthy and malicious thoughts as you. I advise you to cultivate your character and stop being so arrogant."
Mo Xuewei's voice was light and airy, making Dai Mubai's heart itch, but that didn't stop him from getting angry: "What kind of word games are you playing!"
When he couldn't win an argument, he started to fly into a rage. Tang San immediately stepped forward to stop Dai Mubai and whispered, "Boss Dai, this isn't a good place to fight. Making a scene won't do us any good."
"Although these two people have an unknown background, their identities should be quite extraordinary. There's no need to clash with them. We can figure out how to get the soul tool in Xu Qianye's possession later. She's not a soul master, so it's useless for her to have that thing; she'll just have to sell it eventually anyway. We just need to keep an eye on her."
Despite Tang San's persuasion, Dai Mubai did not clash with Mo Xuewei.
Although no conflict erupted, Dai Mubai still uttered a harsh threat: "I'll let you off the hook today because of the mistress, but if I run into you again, I'll make you pay!" "..."
And so, Tang San and his group left the brothel in a grand procession. Only after watching their figures gradually disappear from his sight did Xu Qianye breathe a sigh of relief.
Mo Xuewei's cheek twitched slightly after being threatened. She stood there and forced a smile, "I wonder who gave them the courage to say such things. Who's not going to hold a grudge against whom..."
As expected, people with the protagonist's aura are different; they walk and talk in a more arrogant and domineering way than ordinary people.
"I'm leaving this to you."
Qian Renxue and Mo Xuewei exchanged a glance and then quickly left.
Mo Xuewei didn't say anything; she knew what Qian Renxue was going to do.
Putting those unlucky guys aside, Mo Xuewei turned her gaze to Xu Qianye behind her.
"Your name is Xu Qianye, right?" Mo Xuewei asked gently. "Where do you live? Let me take you home."
"No need, big brother, I can go back by myself," Xu Qianye replied gratefully. "Thank you and the sister who helped me out of my predicament. I have something to do, so I'll be going now."
Xu Qianye was still wary of Mo Xuewei because of Dai Mubai's words. Mo Xuewei understood her, but she was still worried about Xu Qianye wanting to go home alone.
Mo Xuewei reached out and grabbed Xu Qianye's hand. "It's not safe for you to be alone. Let me take you. Don't worry, I'm not interested in what you have, and I won't take it from you..."
As she spoke, Mo Xuewei seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly changed her tone, saying, "Wait, how do you know I'm the older brother and she's the older sister?"
Their disguises weren't exactly impressive, but at least ordinary people couldn't see through them. Xu Qianye didn't have any soul power, so how could she possibly see through their disguises?
Mo Xuewei looked at Xu Qianye curiously. Xu Qianye pursed his lips and explained softly, "The fragrance on you is not something a woman would have. I know that this kind of fragrance usually only appears on people of high status. Also, that lady just now had slender fingers, so you can tell at a glance that she is not a man. Therefore, you are the older brother and she is the older sister."
Having frequented such places for many years, Xu Qianye possessed a keen eye for detail. She had seen all sorts of people, especially women disguised as men. They were either catching someone cheating or cheating; nine out of ten were, and the tenth was definitely cheating.
She'd seen this kind of thing far too often; even the scents on women and men could be completely different.
However, Xu Qianye felt that the boy dressed as a girl in front of her actually resembled a young girl. She didn't know how to describe the feeling, but it wasn't that simple. Precisely because she thought it wasn't simple, she didn't say much. She was smart; she knew what to say and what not to say.
Xu Qianye did not break free from Mo Xuewei's hand. After explaining herself, she quietly looked at Mo Xuewei, waiting for her to let go on her own.
Mo Xuewei had no intention of making things difficult for Xu Qianye, but she always felt that Xu Qianye's connection with Tang San and the others might mean that he was not a simple person.
And just now, Xu Qianye's keen sense of perception proved this point.
Thinking that Qian Renxue had already gone to catch Tang San and the others, a plan suddenly flashed through Mo Xuewei's mind.
