In the night, within the presidential suite of the Royal Hotel.
Qiu Ruoxue suddenly ca to Zhu Fei’s side and said, "Zhu Fei, let’s go back."
Caught off guard by Qiu Ruoxue’s words, Zhu Fei, who had just finished a call with Guo Qian, paused slightly.
However, before he could even open his mouth to ask, Qiu Ruoxue continued, "What happened during the day has made understand a lot."
There was a pause, then a bitter self-deprecating smile appeared on Qiu Ruoxue’s usually cold face.
"I used to think that, with my current strength, even though I couldn’t contend with those so-called highly skilled Martial Artists, self-preservation shouldn’t be a problem."
"But after watching your battles earlier, I realized that my power is actually insignificant in front of strong individuals like you."
"Afterwards, rather than having you accompany on an adventure, it’s more realistic for to take the initiative to leave and temporarily give up those impractical ideas."
"Ruoxue, you...?"
Zhu Fei was sowhat moved; he had not expected Qiu Ruoxue, with her personality, to say such things to him at this mont.
He knew that the reason Qiu Ruoxue was making this suggestion was not out of fear of danger.
Just as she had said earlier, investigating the Glory Casino was an opportunity for her, a chance to possibly find the murderer of her parents.
Indeed, with Qiu Ruoxue’s current strength, even if she really managed to infiltrate the Glory Casino, she might not achieve anything substantial, and would be exposing herself to great danger.
From Zhu Fei’s personal standpoint, he of course did not want Qiu Ruoxue to take this risk.
But he also knew that so things, so issues, so possessions are not so easily relinquished simply because of insufficient strength or the presence of danger.
Take Cultivators, for example.
When have they ever searched for treasures in ruins without facing myriad dangers to their lives?
Yet, even though they know and understand these principles, don’t they still go, in order to improve their cultivation more quickly? Not to ntion that Qiu Ruoxue’s actions were motivated by her search for the killer of her parents.
Thus, the only reason Qiu Ruoxue suddenly proposed leaving was to prevent him from sharing the risk with her.
Or perhaps, even if risks were to be taken, Qiu Ruoxue preferred to face them alone in the future and did not want to involve Zhu Fei.
Having co to this realization, sothing in a corner of Zhu Fei’s heart felt as if it had been fiercely touched.
He looked at Qiu Ruoxue, wanting to say sothing, but for a mont, he did not know where to begin.
"Hehe, Zhu Fei, what’s wrong? Rest assured, since I’ve said what I did just now, I won’t take any unnecessary risks. You can trust on this."
As if understanding the thoughts in Zhu Fei’s mind, Qiu Ruoxue, after her initial self-mockery, couldn’t help but show a carefree smile.
She went to the water dispenser, squatted down to get a cup of warm water, and handed it to Zhu Fei with a laugh:
"Here, have so water. After tonight, I’ll return to the mainland with you. What do you think of that?"
Taking the cup of water from Qiu Ruoxue, Zhu Fei drank it all in one gulp with a wry smile, then looked back at Qiu Ruoxue and said, "So you’re just going to give up on this mission? After you go back, won’t you be afraid of the consequences from your superiors?"
Qiu Ruoxue forced a wry smile and shook her head, saying, "We’ll see, since things are already like this, I’ll explain the general situation to them when the ti cos. Whether they are willing to believe it or not, that’s out of my control."
Zhu Fei nodded, then suddenly took out his cellphone, smiled at Qiu Ruoxue and asked, "Ruoxue, don’t you want to know what Guo Qian and I talked about just now?"
Qiu Ruoxue was slightly startled, her expression sowhat skeptical as she looked at Zhu Fei, puzzled, "What did you two talk about? Didn’t you tell earlier that it’s nearly impossible to get anything out of Xu Peng and that Blood-sucking Elder?"
Zhu Fei gave a secretive smile and nodded, "That’s right, it is such a situation, but there’s always an exception, isn’t there? Guess, what did Guo Qian tell just now?"
Seeing Zhu Fei suddenly act this way, Qiu Ruoxue’s heart tightened, and her breathing started to beco slightly hurried.
"Zhu Fei, until when do you plan to joke with ? If there’s sothing, you better speak up."
Rarely, a hint of anxiousness appeared on Qiu Ruoxue’s face.
Although she had said she wouldn’t take risks to investigate the internal situation of the Glory Casino anymore,
seeing Zhu Fei’s expression, she clearly guessed that during the recent call, he must have obtained so important information.
How could such an unexpected and joyful event truly not concern Qiu Ruoxue? How could she not be eager and anxious?
"Alright, alright, I won’t keep you guessing any longer, okay?"
Zhu Fei smiled, took a seat on the genuine leather sofa beside him, and gestured for Qiu Ruoxue to co over and sit.
Upon seeing this, Qiu Ruoxue glared at him with so irritation.
However, she didn’t say much at that mont and instead followed Zhu Fei’s request, slowly approached him, and sat down next to him with a ’plop.’"
In an instant, the fresh and pure fragrance of Qiu Ruoxue’s body shot into Zhu Fei’s nose.
Zhu Fei, sowhat enjoying it, took a deep breath. Then, with a more serious expression, before Qiu Ruoxue could even react, he began,
"Ruoxue, I just found out from Guo Qian that the mastermind behind the Glory Casino is said to be a person from Dongyang in Fusang. His exact na and background are still not clear."
"But he has a partner, whom I believe you know."
At this point, a sharp intent of killing suddenly flared in Zhu Fei’s eyes.
Startled, Qiu Ruoxue exclaid, "What? The mastermind behind the Glory Casino, he actually has a partner?"
This sudden news from Zhu Fei really shocked Qiu Ruoxue.
She originally thought that the mastermind behind the Glory Casino should only be one person.
But she never expected that there would be another partner involved, and moreover, the mastermind’s identity was that of a person from Fusang.
"Wait, Zhu Fei, did you just say I should know of this partner?"
Qiu Ruoxue forced herself to calm down, thought carefully for a mont, and then her face suddenly revealed an expression of surprise.
"Zhu Fei, are you saying the identity of that partner, could it be the Blood Evil Sect?"
Zhu Fei looked at Qiu Ruoxue with so admiration, then suddenly nodded, "That’s right, the partner of that person from Fusang is very likely to be the Blood Evil Sect."
He paused for a mont and then continued, "Moreover, my guess is that the person from the Blood Evil Sect involved with that person from Fusang is very likely to be the Blood Evil Sect Master!"
