Chapter 497: Life-and-Death Battle 5

When Bei Chenying mentioned Li Yaoxiang, Nangong Liuyun merely frowned slightly, without much reaction.

Bei Chenying was the happiest to see Su Luo.

But before he could express his excitement, he was assigned a new mission by Nangong Liuyun.

"What? Suppress bandits? And it's the East Sea Dragon Gang?" Bei Chenying shook his head repeatedly. "No, no, those guys are elusive. Heaven knows which corner they are hiding in. By the time the army arrives, they would have long since vanished without a trace."

Su Luo's eyes curved into crescents as she smiled and said, "With Nangong making a move this time, it won't be that much trouble."

"Second Brother, are you going to make a move?" Bei Chenying's eyes instantly lit up, flashing with a look of anticipation.

"It's not that I'm going to make a move; it's that I've already done so." Nangong Liuyun tossed a Jade Slip to him. "Go."

Upon hearing this, Bei Chenying was instantly beaming with joy.

The East Sea Dragon Gang had never been suppressed by the imperial court; the wealth they had hoarded could be imagined.

It was one thing not knowing where they were hiding on ordinary days, but now that Nangong was involved, success was naturally guaranteed.

Bei Chenying put away the Jade Slip and smiled at Su Luo until his eyes disappeared, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth. "Sister-in-law, rest assured. If there are any good things, I will definitely save them for you. When you return victorious, we will split the loot together."

"That would naturally be good," Su Luo said to him with a smile.

The fastest way to accumulate wealth is not by earning money, but by plundering.

The East Sea Dragon Gang had been running rampant in the East Sea for all these years, and they had never been suppressed by the imperial court. One could imagine their wealth. Su Luo almost drooled just thinking about it.

It wasn't that she was shallow; it was just that in order to activate the formation to leave, after paying the exit fee, she was truly penniless.

Nangong Liuyun smiled and rubbed her head, his voice gentle. "Let's go."

The luxury cruise ship was well-stocked with soldiers. Nangong Liuyun handed everything over to Bei Chenying, while he himself took Su Luo, piloted a small cruise ship out from the bottom hold of the luxury liner, and sped away with her.

Imperial Capital of the Xiling Kingdom.

Today, the streets were much livelier than usual, and crowds were swarming toward the largest arena in the city.

The Second Young Miss and Fourth Young Miss of General Big Brother Su Da's mansion were having a Life-and-Death Battle, and it was taking place today.

This news was like injecting fresh blood into the lives of the bored citizens of the Imperial Capital, instantly causing many people to boil with excitement.

Everyone speculated: what kind of hatred could cause sisters to turn against each other?

Those who supported Su Qing promoted the narrative that Su Luo had seduced her sister Su Qing's beloved.

"You are all truly too ill-informed. You don't even know this? That Su Luo is a vixen. I heard she even seduced her own future brother-in-law."

"Exactly! She's just a concubine-born girl, and usually a useless good-for-nothing. To think she would shamelessly seduce her future brother-in-law; she really has no self-awareness and is too shameless."

"That's right. Otherwise, how could Su Qing have proposed a Life-and-Death Battle in a fit of rage? She must have been absolutely furious."

"If I had a sister like that, I would have strangled her to death early on to avoid being framed by her in the future."

These irresponsible rumors spread faster than the wind, and soon the whole city knew.

But not everyone followed the crowd; there were also clear-headed people.

"It's too funny. Since Su Luo is a love-struck, useless good-for-nothing, what right does she have to seduce her nominal brother-in-law? Is that brother-in-law blind? If he is blind, how could an ice beauty like Su Qing fancy him?"
