I want to make progress

Chapter 97 The Boss of Jiuchonglou
But the two villains turned a deaf ear to her and didn't even blink an eye. They only wanted her life and their hearts were as hard as iron.

The bad guys were pressing forward step by step, Shu Yunfu was retreating step by step, and the air became fierce.

Tears welled up in her eyes and she kept begging for mercy. Facing the relentless advances of the criminals, Shu Yunfu acted cowardly and fearful in the face of the threat of death. The two men opposite her did not have any doubts at all and only had a strong sense of contempt and murderous intent on their bodies.

Seeing the two villains getting closer and closer, Shu Yunfu held the paper bag in her hand tighter, waiting for the two to get closer, and then finding the right moment to sprinkle the lime powder, giving herself a chance to survive and preventing the two from drugging her.

"What are you doing!"

Seeing the two people approaching, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes, and she was about to throw the limestone in her hand. But just as she was about to do so, her beautiful eyes suddenly opened slightly, and at the same time the newcomer spoke, she decisively sprinkled the lime powder in her hand into the eyes of the two people.

"what!"

"my eyes!"

At such a close distance, and distracted by the voices behind them, even though both of them were highly skilled in martial arts, they still fell into the trap set by the weak woman Shu Yunfu.

Although this move was not so fair and was a bit despicable, for her, a weak woman facing two men, staying alive was the most important thing, so she didn't care whether he was despicable or not.

However, her bag of lime powder only blinded the two villains. The one who really killed them with one blow was the one who came later.

"It's you, sir! You've arrived just in time!"

Looking at the two men who were just wailing in pain in their eyes, they were killed by a sword that cut their throats. They bounced a few times like fish thrown onto the shore and died.

Shu Yunfu's legs were weak, she was scared and nauseous, yet faintly excited. But what surprised her most was the man in front of her who had saved her life.

The first time she met this man, he saved her and the child, and she knew that this young man must have some skills.

In fact, this is not surprising. Darong is a world of high and mighty people. Not to mention the ordinary people, many wealthy families with some money will let their sons learn martial arts. What's more, in the capital, even if the young masters are not proficient in martial arts, they will know a few tricks, not to mention those who are proficient in martial arts.

The young man in front of me, his words, actions, and clothing are not like those of an ordinary person. It is natural for him to know some martial arts.

It was only after this stunning sword strike today that she realized that this young man was more than just a martial arts expert, he was definitely a master!

"How could this be? What happened?"

Li Xuan frowned and looked at the two people on the ground, then looked at Shu Yunfu, "Why is Aunt Shu here?"

"You recognized me!"

He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and looked at Li Xuan with forced calmness, feeling a little surprised as well.

Today she is going to be among men, so she has to dress up as a man, so she has to dress up carefully. With her current appearance, her face is only 50% similar to hers, but she can still be recognized!

"Have you forgotten that I like to paint beauties? Beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin. My eyes do not see the skin."

After shaking off the blood beads on the soft sword and putting it back to his waist, Li Xuan smiled and shook the fan in his hand, returning to his appearance as a handsome young man.

"Then you have really sharp eyes!" Shu Yunfu blinked and opened her mouth in surprise. You're so awesome, my friend!

I really want to give a thumbs up to this guy, he is so talented!
"But what's going on? Why are you here?"

He raised his eyebrows. He had heard such praise so many times since he was a child that it no longer stirred any waves in his heart.

But when he met her clear eyes, he felt happy. It was not a flattery at all, but a sincere praise. It felt good, but what was more important now were these two men.

"Today's poetry gathering at Jiuchonglou has alarmed most of the capital. I was bored at home, so I thought of joining in the fun."

He sighed softly, his eyebrows drooped, and he was very depressed. "It's too noisy in front. I feel bored and want to come out for some fresh air. This yard looks quite wild and empty. I want to sit here. Who has ever encountered these two villains? I heard that they wanted to poison the water!"

He patted his chest with a lingering fear on his face, "I don't know what these people are going to do. There are so many people in the Nine-Story Building today, and everyone on the second floor has an unusual background. Something bad is really going to happen. Not to mention this year's Autumn Examination, half of the entire Darong court will be ruined. It's really scary!"

With her eyes lowered, her eyelashes fluttered, casting a shadow under her eyelids, covering everything in her eyes. "Fortunately, you showed up in time, otherwise I would be in great danger today. Yun Fu thanks you for saving my life!"

"I just happened to be here, Miss Shu...you don't have to be so polite." Li Xuan nodded.

"As I should. This is the second time you have saved me." Shu Yunfu raised her eyebrows and looked up at him with a smile. The depths of her eyes were full of suspicion. This young master was really a wonderful person. "This time, you should at least tell me how to address you."

"I'm Li Xuan, just an idler."

"It turned out to be Master Li."

Li Xuan!

The two words rolled on the tip of his tongue and his eyes moved. The surname Li is a royal surname!

"I just don't know why Master Li is here too? I wonder if he is having a headache like me because of the noise outside."

"That's not the case. I am a humble person, but this Nine-story Building is exactly what I own."

"You are the boss of Jiuchonglou!"

Shu Yunfu widened her eyes in surprise. "It is said that the boss behind the Jiuchonglou might be the one sitting on the dragon throne in the palace. Young Master, you..."

Could it be the emperor?

"Of course not!" As they were all smart people, Li Xuan naturally knew what Shu Yunfu was thinking. "But my family is somewhat related to the royal family. Although I am the boss of this Jiuchonglou, I am just a figurehead."

Shu Yun heaved a sigh of relief and nodded in understanding. She was so scared, but it was good that he wasn't the emperor.

"I seldom stay in the capital on weekdays, and I seldom come to the Nine-Storied Tower. This time I happened to stay in the capital, and it happened to be a poetry gathering, so I came to take a look. I just saw the person who was supposed to be guarding here appeared in front, and I was worried that something might happen. I didn't expect... Fortunately, I came here. It seems that I can't paint for the girl this time."

There was regret in his tone. Looking at the two bodies on the ground, Li Xuan's expression was a little solemn. He squatted down and rolled up the sleeves of the two men. The tattoo of the Yin-Yang Sect on the inside of the arm was exposed nakedly in front of the two men.
