Chapter 185: On-the-Spot Confrontation (2)

From beginning to end, she had been watching the circle of people around her with the gaze of someone watching a play, tinged with a hint of mockery.

At this moment, the expressions of those around her were also poor; they had also come to a sudden realization.

Indeed, looking at the worn-out clothes on Su Luo, her plain face without a trace of makeup, and the fact that she didn't even wear a single accessory on her head—she looked so impoverished and destitute—how could she possibly have the gold coins to post a mission?

This, that's impossible, right?

Even Your Highness the Crown Prince furrowed his brows slightly.

Although he had witnessed the sharp tongue of this Stinky Girl last time, he hadn't expected her to be this calm and clever.

At this moment, everyone in the venue was stronger than her; no matter who was pulled out, they could easily strike her dead with a single palm.

In such an atmosphere, with almost everyone hostile towards her, she was still able to speak eloquently, plan step-by-step, set up traps at every turn, and calmly clear her own name.

Could such a Su Luo really be the legendary good-for-nothing trash?

If she was a good-for-nothing trash, then what did that make this large group of so-called experts who were forced to retreat step by step and were unable to parry her?

Your Highness the Crown Prince raised his sword-like eyebrows slightly, a flash of contemplation passing through his black eyes… To be honest, such a Su Luo really did pique his interest.

Just at this moment, a clear sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

A Red-Robed Youth of peerless handsomeness walked in through the doorway.

What a beautiful young man!

Su Luo gasped.

He was dressed in a bright red brocade robe, with a face so exquisite that not a single flaw could be found. A pair of pitch-black, clear, beautiful eyes, and a beautiful, strange mark between his brows made him appear mysterious and handsome.

Even more peculiar was that he seemed to possess an unusually pure temperament, like a child.

He was always smiling; from the moment he walked in, the curve of his lips had never faded.

Upon seeing that person, the Crown Prince frowned slightly, a dark look flashing in the depths of his eyes; he seemed quite wary of this person.

When Su Zian saw that youth, his complexion turned dark in an instant, but it quickly returned to normal, and he then went up to greet him with a smile.

The one whose expression truly changed drastically was Mr. Mo, who was already covered in cold sweat. Looking at the Red-Robed Youth at the door, his feet slipped, and his legs went weak, causing him to kneel down directly.

"I was unaware of Chairman Bei Chen's arrival. This General has failed to welcome you properly, please forgive me, forgive me." Su Zian accompanied his words with a smile and enthusiastically cupped his hands in greeting.

Bei Chenying, who came from the mysterious Bei Chen Family, was currently the Chairman of the Mercenary Guild in the Dongling Kingdom.

He always wore a smiling expression.

Of course, the more ruthlessly he killed, the more brilliantly he smiled.

However, the only people who knew of this trait of his were either his closest brothers or the countless corpses that died with their eyes wide open.

Bei Chenying stood calmly in the hall with his hands clasped behind his back. After scanning the surroundings, he cast a sidelong glance at Su Zian with a smile that wasn't quite a smile and nodded slightly: "General Su, there is no need for such formalities. Hehe, your luck is truly good; you have raised a good daughter. In the future, you will rise to prominence, and your prospects will be limitless. Congratulations, congratulations."

After speaking, Bei Chenying patted Su Zian's shoulder in an approving manner.

This was the posture of a superior towards a subordinate.

In the Empire, the Chairman of the Mercenary Guild and the Grand General Protecting the Nation were of the same rank; there was no saying who was higher or lower.

However, due to his Family, Bei Chenying's status was held high above. Although Su Zian was resentful in his heart, he dared not resist.

Because the Bei Chen Family was simply too mysterious, too transcendent, and too unattainable… The mere appearance of this surname was an existence that made people feel despair.
