1036 Second Master Chu
“Lianping, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me!” Xu Manyu, seeing him standing there like he was possessed, cautiously tugged at his trouser leg and asked.

Seeing him finally scared, Chu Xiao folded her arms across her chest and sneered, “Ma Lianping, now you know fear. You should be clearer than anyone about the character of Chu Yi, Second Master Chu. When your people betrayed him back then, do you remember the fate of those people? Be careful, he will soon be coming for you. Think about how you’re going to beg for mercy so he might spare you!”

“Xiao, Xiao, he’s your brother, you won’t ignore me, right?”

Ma Lianping was genuinely terrified of Chu Yi to his very bones. When he swindled Chu Xiao’s fortune years ago, he couldn’t sleep peacefully for years, fearing the day Chu Yi would come knocking. Later, he went to temples to pray for blessings and bought an amulet from a master, which gradually settled his heart.

Now, 20 years have passed in a blink. If Chu Xiao hadn’t brought up Chu Yi, he might have completely forgotten about him, but the mere thought of him still struck fear deep in his bones.

Chu Yi was known as Second Master Chu because of his ruthless and decisive nature. Despite his refined and elegant appearance and dignified speech, no one who offended him had a good ending.

Ma Lianping didn’t dare to imagine. Now, his only hope was in Chu Xiao. Holding onto her hand, his face was full of pleading.

“Don’t count on me. You know very well how you’ve treated me over the years, and her too.” Chu Xiao pointed at Xu Manyu and said, “You made me, your lawful wife, serve a mistress. This news spread far and wide. Do you think I’d still care about you like before?”

“Forget it, Ma Lianping. No one can help you with this. You’d better take care of yourself!”

With that, she left with a triumphant sway of her hips, exuding allure with every step.

“Lianping, the Chu Yi she’s talking to is…”

Seeing Chu Xiao leave so confidently, Xu Manyu, unable to grasp the situation just yet, felt indignant. But she knew that since Ma Lianping let her leave, it must be related to this ‘Chu Yi’.

“Bitch, this is all your doing. Why did you provoke her? Making her serve you, who do you think you are? You’ve doomed me, do you know that!”

Ma Lianping, like a madman, viciously grabbed Xu Manyu’s hair and slapped her face repeatedly. Soon, the room was filled with the cries of women and children.

…

Meanwhile, Qin Xi and Han Shi, along with Xia Tangxin, Wang Zhiqiang, and other familiar friends, arrived at the Nightless City nightclub.

Nightless City Club, owned by Mu Di, boasted a variety of entertainment and leisure facilities. Wang Zhiqiang, having been here before, was quite familiar with the place.

Qin Xi, disliking the noisy music, opted for a soundproof private room to enjoy some tea and draw talismans.

Indeed, to ensure the safety of her dear friends and family, she decided to create a peace talisman for each of them.

Han Shi originally wanted to stay with her but was sent by Qin Xi to join the others.

Meanwhile, in another part of the club, Blood Stealer was playing billiards with Deng Xinhe and other gentlemen, with a group of girls singing and dancing behind them. Occasionally, those who lost in billiards had to perform a hot dance, and even if they couldn’t dance well, they still had to give it a twist.
