Chapter 38: The Brave Win When Rivals Meet

Su Luo curled her lips into a wicked, cold smile.

Su Jingyu, didn't you frame me? Didn't you try to pin the blame on me? Then let me show you what real framing is, and what real slander is!

Su Luo was always adept at returning the favor in kind.

Looking at the small black hole, Su Luo slightly tugged her lips, then mercilessly tossed the Purple Fish Jade Pendant inside. Moreover, she didn't even bother closing the mechanism, preparing to leave immediately.

However, at this moment, a sudden clamor came from outside.

Faintly, the light of torches shone through.

Su Luo peered toward the window lattice, and her heart tightened.

Shoot, Su Zian really brought people over.

It seems he isn't completely stupid; he finally thought to check the Treasure Pavilion.

Originally, if she hadn't found the entrance to the Treasure Pavilion, Su Luo had planned to hide in a secret corner on the third floor.

People act out of habit. If Su Zian saw the mess on the third floor, his first reaction would be to check his most precious treasures to see if they had been stolen. In this way, Su Luo, hidden in the dark, could clearly see where he stored his things.

But now that she had already obtained the heavenly spirit water from the box, there was no need to waste any more energy.

However, Su Luo could completely imagine that when her Cheap Old Father walked up to the third floor and saw the chaotic scene before him, he would probably be furious enough to die.

Just thinking about this made Su Luo feel especially happy.

Seeing that the pursuers were about to arrive, Su Luo didn't panic. Years of life as an assassin had honed her powerful courage and mental fortitude.

Instead of going downstairs, she agilely flipped out of the window lattice, her body as light and quick as a civet cat, silently descending along the pillar.

In the blink of an eye, she was standing at the base of the wall.

At this point, the direction she fled was not her own side courtyard, but Su Jingyu's courtyard.

On the path very close to Su Jingyu's courtyard, Su Luo unluckily ran into someone—none other than Nanny Gui, who had been brutally kicked into the wall by Su Luo three days ago and knocked unconscious.

Nanny Gui had only just woken up today. She struggled to get up because she wanted to go to the Madam's courtyard and tell the Madam who had seriously injured her, and she also wanted to tell the Madam to be careful of that Fourth Young Miss.

Therefore, Nanny Gui, supported by a Maid, slowly moved step by step toward the Madam's courtyard.

The Madam's courtyard was very close to Su Jingyu's courtyard, and this narrow cobblestone path was the only way there, which is why she and Su Luo met on a narrow road.

Thus, when Su Luo burst out from the side path, she saw Nanny Gui right away.

"Ah—" The little Maid saw the masked Man in Black and subconsciously screamed.

Nanny Gui could have resisted a bit, but she had just recovered from a major injury, her head was still dizzy from the impact, and her buttocks were so painful they felt split open. She didn't have time to fight back. Su Luo chopped down with a hand knife, instantly killing Nanny Gui.

Su Luo hadn't initially intended to kill Nanny Gui, but she immediately realized that this restless old hag was heading toward the Madam's courtyard—she was going to complain.

Currently, Su Luo did not possess the slightest Spiritual Power and had no means of self-defense on this Continent, so she had to remain low-key and bide her time.

If the Madam knew she was so agile, it would likely make things less convenient for her in the future.
