In reality, Jiang Suan was simply enjoying the sight of Rin’s white thigh-highs.
There wasn’t a hint of provocation in his mind.
He leaned down and whispered into Fufu’s ear, “That person is about to strike again.
You don’t want to see more innocent Tiger Thiren die, do you?”
“Orange Fufu, don’t you want to be a great hero?”
“Why do you think I rushed here to find you?
That man is already at your doorstep!
If we don’t act now, it’ll be too late!”
“Are you really going to try and force the location out of me?”
“Is this how you treat the benefactor who brought you news?”
He hadn’t actually told her yet, and…
Technically, he was the one who had lured the guy with the Tiger-Taming Bell here.
But at the end of the day, this matter could be resolved quickly and happily, couldn’t it?
Orange Fufu clenched her fists as she looked at the man who refused to give up the information.
She had seen this kind of plot in storybooks often.
Did she have to sacrifice something?
“What do you want me to do?”
“Fufu, Senior Sister, don’t listen to his nonsense!
Let’s calm down.
Didn’t Master say yesterday that she had divined something?”
“We just need to wait for Master to come back.”
Rin pulled Fufu behind her to protect her, glaring at Jiang Suan.
She would never allow this bad guy to lay a finger on her senior sister.
“…”
Looking at Rin’s expression—as if she were looking at a total creep—Jiang Suan realized there was some misunderstanding.
It made sense; a Proxy with Fairy was incredibly capable.
Their master, who had gone missing last night, had come out of a mysterious man’s house.
Given Yi Xuan’s personality, she definitely wouldn’t have explained things honestly.
She was their master, after all, and that silence only invited wilder imaginations.
“Pfft~”
“What are you laughing at?”
“You’ve decided I’m a bad person without even hearing my conditions.
Did that junior Yi Xuan not tell you about the relationship between us?”
His words left the two girls completely bewildered.
Could there really be more to the story?
But seeing was believing, and until their master returned to confirm it, they couldn’t take his word for it.
“Fine then.”
“The reading fee is one Denny.
If my prediction comes true, the two of you will each wear a wooden sign and parade around Chenghui Square for one lap.
On the sign…”
“Master Jiang Suan, Fufu is impressed.”
“And for Rin: Master Jiang Suan, Peerless Under Heaven!”
“How about it?”
Jiang Suan teased the two girls with wicked humor.
It was a small bit of revenge—since they had already labeled him a villain and a creep, he might as well act the part.
“You…”
Rin hesitated, her face flushing slightly.
Could she really have guessed wrong?
Was he just an eccentric fortune teller with some connection to Yun Kui Mountain?
Up on the roof of Sui-Bian Temple, the Qingming Bird watched it all—the beast-like Genko outside the temple and the confrontation inside.
*Has Senior finally made his move?*
*It’s for the best.
Consider it a lesson for my disciples.
There is always someone better out there; in this world, strength ultimately triumphs over all.*
After all, even the master had been thoroughly “schooled” yesterday.
But that girl Fufu…
She was so dim-witted; she was probably going to be toyed with by Senior.
“I accept!”
Sure enough, Orange Fufu didn’t hesitate for a second.
If it meant saving people, what did a little embarrassment matter?
If she had to be impressed, she’d be impressed…
“Forget parading with a sign—as long as you aren’t lying to me, you’re Fufu’s benefactor!
Whatever you want Fufu to do, Fufu will do it!”
Rin’s eyes widened.
Far away, Yi Xuan let out a silent sigh.
A wide smile broke across Jiang Suan’s face.
He couldn’t help but pat the little tiger’s head.
Honestly, this girl was quite cute.
Anything?
“Little kitty, you said it yourself!”
“I’m a tiger!
Wait, no…
hurry up and give me the reading!”
“Don’t be so impatient.
All of you are so hot-headed.”
Jiang Suan pulled out his phone and dialed a number.
It was the emergency line.
The two girls watched in stunned silence.
What was he doing?
“Hello?
There’s a criminal suspect at Sui-Bian Temple.”
“Come quickly, or someone’s going to die!
If I’m making a false report, may my entire family in this world drop dead!”
Such a vicious oath shocked the operator.
“We are dispatching nearby Public Security units immediately.
Please prioritize your own safety and do not take any reckless action before the officers arrive.”
“…”
Beep, beep, beep…
The call ended, and Jiang Suan breathed a sigh of relief.
He was actually scared!
If Genko escaped, the old bastard would definitely come for his life later.
Calling the Public Security Bureau was much more reliable.
That guy shouldn’t have any powerful backers in the bureau, right?
Even if he did, with the master’s own disciple handing him over, no one would dare protect him.
With that settled, he felt much better.
He opened his payment QR code and held it out to Orange Fufu.
“Reading fee is one Denny.
No haggling.”
“…”
Orange Fufu paid in a daze.
She had heard him call the police, hadn’t she?
Putting it all together, did he mean the holder of the Tiger-Taming Bell was right here at Sui-Bian Temple?
“Heh, not so stupid after all.”
“Come on, let’s go meet our ‘client.’ Whatever you do, don’t expose anything yet.
Wait for the Public Security officers.”
“Master Genko, please come in!”
Jiang Suan went to “welcome the guest” with a beaming smile.
As he brought him in, he gave Genko a look that said, “I’ve got this handled.”
Everything was under control!
Genko felt quite satisfied.
From a distance, he caught sight of that fresh, burning blood and flesh.
He couldn’t stop himself from staring intensely at Orange Fufu. Visit g.com for the full chapter.
“Master Genko?”
“Wait, is that the Master Genko who’s been in all those action movies!?”
Fufu hadn’t expected the “victim” to be Master Genko.
She clenched her fists and scanned the film crew members, trying to find the potential criminal.
She couldn’t see any leads, so she finally looked at Jiang Suan with a questioning gaze.
“Don’t be in a rush.
Everyone’s here.”
“Are you worried he’ll run away?
Fufu, don’t you love Master Genko’s movies?
Why not chat with him for a bit?”
Genko liked Jiang Suan more and more.
This service was top-tier.
Maybe he shouldn’t kill him?
They could have a long-term partnership.
“Haha, you must be the Fufu that Brother Jiang mentioned.”
“Truly a young hero, so brave and majestic—”
He quickly moved to Fufu’s side, using his status as her idol to build rapport.
And so…
Both sides naturally drew closer to their prey.
Fufu was on high alert to protect Genko from the “bad guy,” while Genko was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, wishing he could drag Orange Fufu into a Hollow this very second.
Meanwhile, the director and film crew were professionally playing along, discussing how to add more scenes for Orange Fufu.
The atmosphere was incredibly lively.
Only Rin sensed that something was very wrong.
She quietly pulled Jiang Suan into a corner and shook her phone at him.
She had added him on Knock-Knock and signaled that she had something to say.
[Rin: I’m just asking—that Genko isn’t the holder of the Tiger-Taming Bell, and Senior Sister Fufu is his target, right?]
Jiang Suan suppressed a laugh.
Had the high-IQ Phaethon finally figured it out?
[Suan: What makes you think that?]
[Rin: There are only two Tiger Thiren in this courtyard.
The criminal obviously isn’t Senior Sister, so it has to be him.
You…
you’re so mean!]
“You’re really too much, bullying Senior Sister like that.
I…
when I have to parade, can it be at night?”
“Say something…
you big meanie.”
Rin puffed out her cheeks and gave Jiang Suan a sneaky kick.
Jiang Suan couldn’t hold back his laughter anymore.
He leaned on the girl’s shoulder, laughing until his stomach hurt.
“No way.
It has to be during the day when there are lots of people!”
“Hmph!
You…
you’re not allowed to lean on me anymore!
Go ahead and laugh yourself to death!”
Rin was so embarrassed she wanted to hide her face.
She could already imagine the scene—watched by everyone on the street while this jerk laughed beside her.
How hateful!
The commotion over there caught Genko’s attention.
He was in a great mood and wanted to pull Jiang Suan over to finalize the plan.
“Brother Jiang, what are you doing?”
“Me?
I’m waiting for the wind to blow!”
