Chapter 245-246: This Maid Seems to Be Rebelling
Xu Yourong didn’t say anything.
She just handed the contract card to Luo Sheng, like a letter of surrender, acting swiftly and decisively without any hesitation.
“Are you really sure you won’t regret this?”
Luo Sheng asked again solemnly and seriously.
This was no longer a joke. If she signed this contract, it ant Xu Yourong would lose her freedom and be completely controlled by him.
Although it wasn’t like in novels where one thought could determine life or death, it was almost no different from slavery.
Luo Sheng wasn’t afraid she would betray him, because this type of contract card existed precisely to prevent betrayal.
As long as she dared to have bad thoughts about him, he could sense it at any ti, and even know all her secrets through the contract.
Only then did Xu Yourong explain the reason, “Do you know why the Xu family wanted to drive
away?
Originally I hid it very well, even with everything that happened in the ghostly otherworld dinsion, they couldn’t trace it back to .
But I refused to sign this contract with the Xu family to beco their slave, so I was betrayed.”
Luo Sheng had a sudden realization after hearing her words.
She had indeed hidden it very well.
Even after so many instances of leaking information, she hadn’t been discovered.
But the Xu family wanted to use binding thods to tie Xu Yourong to the family for generations.
If it were ordinary people whose interests were tied to the family, they would sign without hesitation.
But Xu Yourong wouldn’t. Several tis she had given information to him, so Luo Sheng could guess that even back then, Xu Yourong had already developed cracks with her family.
Even though the family had invested a lot of resources, even gifting her their spiritual essence, it was difficult to buy her heart.
The final trigger was probably the contract signing. She refused, because she never wanted to beco a puppet of the family.
So everyone’s gaze turned to her, and exposure was only a matter of ti.
Luo Sheng nodded, similarly squeezing out his own fresh blood and dripping it onto the contract card.
The white card emitted a dazzling light.
He felt as if sothing extra had appeared in his mind.
He could faintly sense Xu Yourong’s emotions and state, like a spiritual power connection to a card, but with so slight differences.
The white card in his hand disappeared.
Luo Sheng knew that with a thought, that contract docunt would appear again.
Canceling the contract was also just a thought away.
He said to Xu Yourong: “If you want to cancel it soday, just tell , and I’ll help you cancel it.”
“Not necessary,” Xu Yourong said indifferently.
Luo Sheng looked at her helplessly, this girl was more stubborn than anyone, and he didn’t know what to say to her.
Of course, he was also surprised by her trust in him.
“Carry
on your back,” Xu Yourong said calmly.
“You’ve gotten addicted to this, haven’t you?” Luo Sheng was suddenly speechless.
He couldn’t help but recall the previous tis, once during the disappearance incident in the demon realm, and another ti inside the chanical City, both because she was injured and needed help with her hands and feet.
Now even though she was injured, with his holy light technique healing her, she had actually recovered and didn’t need anyone to carry her.
But seeing her pleading gaze.
Luo Sheng crouched down rather helplessly.
“I don’t know who’s really the master and who’s the servant, I feel like I’m losing out,” he muttered to himself.
Xu Yourong unhesitatingly climbed onto his back, her soft arms gently hooking around his neck.
“Master, let’s go!”
The soft voice echoed by his ear.
Obviously she had heard what he had just said, so she spoke like this.
“Yes, yes, yes, my little maid.”
Although Luo Sheng spoke in a perfunctory tone, he actually valued Xu Yourong greatly.
She possessed qualities that many people couldn’t have, such as the characteristics of an assassin, and the ability to gather intelligence.
What Luo Sheng needed most right now was to build his own network of eyes and ears.
However, he did have so doubts about whether Xu Yourong could currently handle tasks like intelligence gathering, after all, she had lost her family as her biggest source of information, and was now facing assassination attempts.
Under various unfavorable factors, it was inevitable to have doubts.
Just then.
Xu Yourong said on Luo Sheng’s back: “Can you give
the corpses you collected, as well as those dark cards?”
“Sure, what do you want to do?” Luo Sheng asked curiously.
“You’ll know later,”
Xu Yourong said mysteriously.
Luo Sheng shook his body slightly to prevent her from slipping off, and nodded.
Although she was now strictly speaking his servant, and even calling her a maid wouldn’t be too much, Luo Sheng still didn’t intend to pry too deeply.
It was better to respect other people’s thoughts and privacy.
Then the two walked onto the main street.
At her request, Luo Sheng ca to the entrance of the Guard Bureau.
“Wait for
here.”
Xu Yourong said to him, and took those corpses and dark cards into the Guard Bureau.
Luo Sheng had a strange expression, as if he had been taken advantage of sohow, but she had already walked far away.
He could only quietly observe her.
He saw her put on an injured appearance, limping into the Guard Bureau, and then there was quite a commotion in the Guard Bureau.
Originally, the loss of control in the ghostly otherworld dinsion and demon realm, as well as the urgent struggle for the chanical City, had plunged the entire Pingcheng into a tense atmosphere, with chaos likely to break out at any ti.
So Xu Yourong’s battered appearance imdiately drew the attention of the Guard Bureau.
Especially when she handed over the corpses of Evil Card Master mbers, it really caused an uproar in the Guard Bureau.
Luo Sheng just stood quietly outside the entrance, watching her improvised performance.
About 10 minutes later, a large number of Card Masters suddenly appeared from the Guard Bureau, taking Xu Yourong with them as they headed in a distant direction.
“What does she want to do?”
Luo Sheng revealed a puzzled expression.
He still couldn’t figure out Xu Yourong, she was always full of mystery.
So he followed behind everyone and ca to an abandoned warehouse, after which a large number of people stord in.
The sounds of battle erupted from inside the warehouse. Looking through the broken windows into the dim interior, flashes of light kept appearing, shadows moved chaotically, and intense fluctuations ca one after another.
In less than 5 minutes, the sounds of battle gradually stopped.
Luo Sheng saw several mbers of the Guard Bureau being dragged out, they had been seriously injured in the battle and were now being taken for ergency treatnt.
Xu Yourong ca out afterwards, but she didn’t imdiately report her actions.
She went back with the mbers of the Guard Bureau again.
Luo Sheng had to sit at an outdoor table of a coffee shop.
The coffee shop was closed due to the current chaotic situation.
The window glass had all been shattered, obviously having suffered an attack before.
About 20 minutes passed.
Only then did Xu Yourong slowly walk up to him.
“These are all the rewards exchanged for the Evil Card Masters.”
She handed a bag of card coins to Luo Sheng. A rough count showed at least over 100 card coins.
He looked at Xu Yourong in confusion, only to see her continue: “All the money is in there.”
“You went in just for this money?”
Faced with his inquiry, Xu Yourong shook her head.
She explained: “I told the Guard Bureau about one of their strongholds. While destroying this stronghold, I also obtained quite a bit of information. For example, the Qin family is planning to escape and is currently transferring a large amount of assets.
Now, the regular ard forces are in a standoff with them.
I also obtained a list, these are all the organization’s strongholds. Most have been destroyed, with a small portion remaining in the city. This list was found in the stronghold, I didn’t hand it over to the Guard Bureau.”
Xu Yourong briefly recounted the intelligence she had intercepted.
While the Guard Bureau was battling with the Evil Card Masters, she had mysteriously obtained the intelligence from the stronghold.
That was right under everyone’s noses.
“Are you demonstrating your abilities to ?” Luo Sheng asked after pondering for a mont.
Xu Yourong nodded and placed the list in her hand in front of his eyes.
“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have doubted you before,” Luo Sheng apologized.
Perhaps his previous thoughts had been captured by her, so she used this to prove her abilities.
Of course, he could now see her capabilities. Even after losing the Xu family as her big tree, she still had ways to find intelligence.
Xu Yourong shook her head lightly, saying casually: “It’s only human nature, there’s nothing to apologize for.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll never doubt you again.”
As Luo Sheng spoke, he handed half of the card coins from the money bag to Xu Yourong.
Then he said: “Let’s split it half and half, consider it your operating funds. I don’t have anything presentable to offer right now, so let this substitute for now.”
