Chapter 12

“Guests?”

Lu Yu murmured softly, lost in thought.

“Huang Gu, how did you make this tofu? It's so delicious!”

Tong Xiang Yu was curious about Huang Rong and asked.

Although Huang Rong was still dressed in a beggar’s clothes, in Tong Xiang Yu's eyes, she was a shining treasure.

“It's simple, really. You just need to…”

Huang Rong immediately described the method for making “Twenty-Four Bridges and a Moonlit Night” tofu.

When she mentioned using a whole piece of ham, then discarding the ham, Tong Xiang Yu's face turned pale.

“What about the ham?”

“It's still in the steamer.”

“The ham! My Jinhua ham!”

Tong Xiang Yu cried out in distress, her face full of heartache. She was about to rush to the kitchen.

But at that moment, a scream came from upstairs.

“Oh my God! Murder!”

After the scream, Bai Zhan Tang hurried down from the second floor.

“What happened, Zhan Tang?”

Tong Xiang Yu was startled.

“That kid really has a problem! He’s after me!”

As soon as Bai Zhan Tang finished speaking, he saw Guo Fu Rong, dressed in black, running down from upstairs.

“Guo Gongzi, what are you doing?”

“Coming to your black shop, of course, to uphold justice!”

Guo Fu Rong said with righteous indignation.

Hearing this, everyone immediately understood what was happening and became nervous.

“The Male and Female Devils!”

“It’s the Double Heroes!”

Guo Fu Rong immediately corrected, with some displeasure in her words.

明明是替天行道做好事,怎么传出去的名声这么不好听. 明明 she was upholding justice and doing good deeds, why was her reputation so bad?

Seeing this, Huang Rong couldn't help but show a curious look.

These are the Male and Female Devils?

They don’t seem to be very skilled in martial arts.

Lu Yu narrowed his eyes, stepped forward and said, “Miss, we meet again.”

“It's you!”

Guo Fu Rong's pupils contracted upon seeing Lu Yu, a little bit guilty.

She still remembered the events of the day clearly.

“It seems you still need to uphold justice, and you still don’t understand the situation. This is not a black shop, and you don’t need to uphold justice here.”

“Impossible! There will be no mistake this time! The shop has no lights at the door, there is blood, and it closes so early. Every detail points to a black shop. How can it not be a black shop!”

Guo Fu Rong said excitedly.

“You need evidence to catch thieves, you need to catch them in the act, you need to catch adulterers red-handed. You have no evidence, and you’re acting based on conjecture. If you were to become a constable, you would cause countless wrongful convictions.

The things you have done before are not upholding justice, but wreaking havoc in the countryside.

The Xue Shen Yi of Eighteen Li Pu, the fiancé of the Zhao family girl from Left Family Manor, the locksmith from White Stone Bridge, the woodcutter from Wei Gong Village, and so on, were all first-class good people, all of whom you misunderstood and beat up badly.”

“Impossible! Absolutely impossible! You’re trying to deceive me!”

Guo Fu Rong's heart was shaken and her emotions were agitated. She immediately struck out with a palm!

“Overturning the Mountains and Seas!”

In her excitement, her palm force was three points stronger than usual.

The palm force came straight at Lu Yu, Lu Yu narrowed his eyes, and Bai Zhan Tang cried out in alarm, “Be careful!”

This palm force might not be fatal, but if it hit, it would break a few ribs.

Just as Bai Zhan Tang was about to make a move, Lu Yu kicked out first.

Wind Grass!

This kick, though slower to start, arrived first, directly breaking up Guo Fu Rong's palm force.

With a bang, the remaining energy landed on Guo Fu Rong.

Bang!

Guo Fu Rong flew out instantly and slammed into the railing of the stairs.

Crack!

The railing broke.

“My hundred-year-old stairs!”

Tong Xiang Yu was heartbroken.

The loud sound immediately alerted Xiao Qing, who was watching outside. She kicked open the door and rushed in.

“Miss!”

Seeing Guo Fu Rong knocked to the ground and injured, Xiao Qing was immediately alarmed. She immediately drew her long sword and stabbed at Lu Yu.

This strike was extremely fast.

In the blink of an eye, it reached Lu Yu.

The sword tip was not aimed to kill, but if it struck, it would leave a wound at the very least.

Lu Yu was about to use his “Catching the Wind and Grasping the Shadows” technique to evade, but he saw Huang Rong already in front of him. She flicked her fingers and struck the long sword.

The long sword trembled slightly and changed direction.

Xiao Qing was shocked. She hadn't expected there to be another expert here.

She was about to counterattack when she heard a shout.

“The Sunflower Acupuncture Hand!”

It was Bai Zhan Tang who had struck!

His lightning-fast finger landed precisely on Xiao Qing, sealing all her movements.

Xiao Qing instantly became a statue holding a sword, unable to move.

“Xiao Qing!”

Guo Fu Rong was also startled when she saw Xiao Qing being subdued.

She knew that Xiao Qing's strength had reached the level of the Late Innate Realm. Although she was not a top-level expert, she was considered quite good among the younger generation.

Even in the Six Doors, where masters were everywhere, only a few of her senior brothers could defeat Xiao Qing among the younger generation.

She was now subdued so easily, which shows the strength of the person who had struck.

“Bai Da Ge, you finally decided to make your move.”

Lu Yu said with a smile.

“Well, I didn’t want to make a move. But this girl is pretty strong. I was worried you wouldn’t be able to handle her. Wait, how did you know I could fight?”

“I figured it out.”

“I didn’t realize your eye sight had gotten so good after you started training. It seems I haven’t been hiding it well enough.”

Bai Zhan Tang smiled, not really concerned.

There were quite a few people in the inn who knew he could fight.

As long as his true identity didn’t get exposed, there was no problem.

Huang Rong curiously looked at Bai Zhan Tang for a while. This acupuncture hand technique was quite something.

The Sunflower Acupuncture Hand was a renowned martial art skill in the martial arts world.

This little waiter actually knew it, and judging by the power with which he used it, he had already reached a very deep level.

Anyway, her Flickering Finger Technique was not as good.

Just as Huang Rong was thinking, Lu Yu said, “Huang Gu, thank you for your help just now.”

“It’s nothing. But even if I hadn’t made a move, you should have been able to avoid it with your light footwork.”

Huang Rong had been in a hurry, so she hadn’t thought about it, but by the time she had, she had already made her move.

However, it was no big deal.

She didn’t intend to hide the fact that she knew martial arts anyway.

“You! You bunch of villains! Even if you kill us today, your evil deeds will eventually be exposed to the world!”

Guo Fu Rong said righteously.

“Hey, you’re really getting into it. You’ve really become a big hero?”

Bai Zhan Tang scoffed.

“I was upholding justice!”

“Then you’re in the wrong place. This isn’t a black shop.”

Tong Xiang Yu said.

Except for Lu Yu, everyone else had now understood that these so-called Male and Female Devils were probably two fools.

Guo Fu Rong was about to say something else, but Lu Yu interrupted her. “Maybe you don’t believe it now, but it’s the truth.

If you still don’t believe me, tomorrow we’ll send you to the government office, and the government office will summon those people you’ve beaten up. Then the truth will come out.”

“Right! Xiao Lu is right. Zhan Tang, Da Zui, tie these two up, tie them to the millstone in the backyard. When tomorrow morning comes, send them to the government office!”

Tong Xiang Yu said.

“Got it, boss.”
