Chapter 849: Scaring People Away Can Also Be a Talent

It was also because his disposition was different from the other noblemen that people could not help but want to get close to him.

The girls were not discouraged. They appraised this unusual man from top to toe.

Between the jet-black hair on his forehead and the pure white gauze over his eyes, a section of his pale forehead was unveiled.

Under the gauze, the tip of his nose was exposed. It was as ashen as his forehead.

His lips were tightly pursed. They were a little gray as if he had lost his pallor.

“Are your eyes injured? Do you need me to help you down the city tower later?” the girl ventured.

“No need.” The man’s voice was cold.

“Alright then.” The girl was a little disappointed after being rejected. She tried again. “I’m staying at the Romantic Inn. Which Inn are you staying at?”

The man tightened his lips and did not answer.

Another girl added, “Handsome, are you here with your friends?”

The man paused and faced forward, but still did not answer.

In the eyes of these girls, the man’s reaction was that of sadness. They thought that he had fallen out of love and was too heartbroken to speak.

“Handsome, leave us your contact information. We will play in the ancient city of Fengyue for a few days. If you are alone, you can come with us. The more, the merrier.” The girl warmly invited him.

The others looked at the man expectantly, waiting for his answer.

Qin Shu stopped and looked at three of the girls huddled together. The other two did not look like they were from the same industry. It was not difficult to see that they were attracted by the man’s appearance and charisma, and were eager to get close to him.

She decided against interrupting them.

After a while, the man who had been silent all this time said, “There was a person who wanted my contact details, and in the end...”

The man kept them guessing.

The girls looked at him curiously, waiting for his answer.

They could not help but start to imagine the man was implying that this particular girl had left a deep impression on him. Maybe she was his ex-girlfriend.

Or maybe she was someone that the man cared about very much.

One of the girls could not help but ask, “What happened to her in the end? Did you give her your number?”

The man chuckled and said inaudibly, “She died.”

A moment ago, the girls were still waiting for the man’s answer. However, the next second, they were shocked by the man’s cold words and didn’t know how to react.

Their first thought was that the man was sad because the girl was dead, but at the same time, they felt something was not quite right.

It was like watching a thriller. The girls suddenly snapped back to attention and put two and two together. In the past, there was a person who wanted his contact information, but she died in the end.

She died?

When they looked at the man again, shock and horror were written all over their faces.

Hesitating for a bit, the group of girls fearfully took their leave.

When they passed Qin Shu, they caught sight of her exquisite facial features even through the dim light shining on her face. The girls were stunned for a moment but made no effort to pause and marvel at her beautiful face. They were seemingly in such a rush as if someone was chasing after them.

Qin Shu saw the ashen-faced girls pass by her. She took a step to the right to make way for them.

She had heard what the man had said earlier. It was normal for him to have blood on his hands considering his identity. However, she did not understand what he was thinking when he revealed to the girls that someone died from wanting his contact number.

The man did not seem like the leader of an assassin group, much less the number one assassin group in the world.

Instead, he looked like the son of a wealthy family – noble, refined, and somewhat evil.

The ability to scare the girls away with a single sentence was also a talent.

The man gave a sudden movement. He felt something rubbing against his pant leg. It was Boss Ba, apparently trying to attract his attention.

It was not difficult to guess that the little guy at his feet had succeeded in doing so. No one would bring a pet along when traveling, much less one that was not afraid of people.

Nonetheless, he knew that every time Qin Shu went out, she would bring Boss Ba with her.

Recovering from his little surprise, the man suddenly turned around and looked behind him. Although he could not see it, he had a constant feeling that someone was watching him from the back.

Seeing the man suddenly turn around, Qin Shu froze. From the corner of her eye, she saw Boss Ba beside the man’s feet, pawing at the man’s pant leg with his claws as if he was afraid that his existence was not apparent enough.

Qin Shu was skeptical. Why did she have the illusion that Boss Ba was always trying to go undercover?

After a long time and sensing no movement, the man finally asked, “Is it you, baby?”

That question was a little difficult to answer. Saying yes would mean she gave the man consent to call her that.

After giving it some thought, Qin Shu asked, “Why are you here?”

Hearing the familiar voice, the man’s lips curled into a beautiful arc. “I was in the ancient city of Fengyue two days ago. Did you agree to my request by coming here?”

Just as Qin Shu thought, he didn’t come because she was also here. It was purely a coincidence that they had met.

“I’m here to pick up my son,” she answered succinctly.

“I see.” The man laughed and didn’t continue.

Qin Shu strode over the threshold and stood in front of the fence of the city tower. The fence was taller than her, and there was a gap of thirty centimeters in the middle. It was just above her chest, and she could see far.

The man initially did not deliberately listen out for any movement. He knew that she was present, so he paid special attention to his surroundings. When he heard the footsteps, he guessed that Qin Shu had already walked to the fence.

He turned to face the fence, turning his head as if he could see her. “Is your son in Qi Mountain?” he asked.

Qin Shu replied, “Yes. My master took him up the mountain to play for a while.”

And just like that, he had gone for a month.

The man was a little surprised. “Have you met your master?”

“No,” Qin Shu responded.

The man smiled and said, “I thought you had already met him. I heard that after one’s martial art strength reaches emperor level, the rate of aging will be much slower than that of an average person. The bodily function will also be improved. I wonder how your master has changed after so many years?”

Qin Shu recalled the voice she had heard when she had been on the phone with her master. “From the sound of my master’s voice, I feel that he is quite young,” she said. “Around thirty years old, maybe. I am not entirely sure.”

The man replied, “You will know when you go up the mountain tomorrow.”

Qin Shu thought about it and agreed. She would be able to see her master when she went up the mountain tomorrow. She heard that her master was extremely good-looking and looked very young. She would soon find out if they had been exaggerating or not.

The man asked, “Why didn’t Fu Tingyu come with you?”

Once bitten, twice shy. Qin Shu looked at the man warily. She felt that he was trying to trick her.. “He had something to do,” she countered.
