The female rogue cultivator hadn't expected that this young man in front of her could discern her relationship as fellow disciples with the poison cultivator from her aura.
She and Bai He hadn't been in contact for a long time.
Those in their line of work had a very strict ironclad rule: they usually served their own masters and were generally not allowed to interact with each other.
Why?
It was all to prevent slip-ups that might expose their respective masters' identities.
However, three days ago, the female rogue cultivator had vaguely received some information that Bai He and their master were in trouble. She didn't know the specific reason.
She never imagined that Bai He was already dead.
And that he had died at the hands of this young man.
"Let me tell you something else,"
Cheng Xiaofan sneered and said to the female rogue cultivator, "Your poison cultivator master and his disciple are also dead by my hand!"
"Wuwu!"
The female rogue cultivator couldn't bear the shock and fainted.
The moment she lost consciousness, she was still thinking, what kind of person have I encountered? Even both masters died by his hand?
"Ah, Cheng Xiaofan, what's going on?" At this moment, Wu Shengnan, who had finished showering, appeared.
She was stunned when she saw the scene before her.
Cheng Xiaofan didn't explain directly to Wu Shengnan. He just smiled faintly and said, "Beautiful woman, do you know a person named Ouyang Yu?"
Upon hearing the name, Wu Shengnan's whole body trembled, and she blurted out, "Cheng Xiaofan, how do you know about him?"
"I discovered it from the aura emanating from this woman!"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "This woman's name is Hua Lichun, and she's a rogue cultivator. Ouyang Yu sent her to secretly take photos of us together, and then capture us and hand us over to him for processing!"
"I believe you must be familiar with this Ouyang Yu. The reason he's doing this is aimed at you!"
Wu Shengnan was furious, gritting her teeth and cursing, "This Ouyang Yu is truly shameless, to stoop to such despicable acts!"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Alright, Wu Shengnan, you don't need to explain. I already know about your matters with Ouyang Yu."
From the aura that Wu Shengnan had just displayed, Cheng Xiaofan had already figured out what was happening.
He reached out and gently patted her shoulder, saying, "Beautiful woman, since I've helped you cure your chest ailment, let's go all the way. I'll help you resolve your issues with Ouyang Yu as well!"
Wu Shengnan's face immediately clouded over. "Cheng Xiaofan, Ouyang Yu's father has considerable influence in the city and is not someone to be trifled with."
"Ouyang Yu, relying on his father, has become a local bully in the capital. Please, don't offend such a troublemaker for my sake!"
Cheng Xiaofan laughed heartily. "Wu Shengnan, no matter how troublesome someone is, when they fall into my hands, they're just a little scaredy-cat."
"After I've dealt with other matters tomorrow, I'll help you resolve this trouble!"
In fact, the trouble Wu Shengnan was facing was quite melodramatic. The capital's little bully, Ouyang Yu, had taken a fancy to her and was insistent on marrying her.
Wu Shengnan didn't like Ouyang Yu, but she didn't dare to offend this influential young man.
She was afraid that by offending this capital's little bully, her family would also suffer.
She had reluctantly come up with a rather clumsy excuse, saying she had a special illness that prevented her from ever having a boyfriend or getting married.
Ouyang Yu wasn't a fool; he immediately saw through Wu Shengnan's excuse.
Faced with Wu Shengnan's excuse, Ouyang Yu didn't get enraged. Instead, he forced her to sign an agreement with him.
The agreement stated that if Ouyang Yu ever discovered Wu Shengnan had a boyfriend, he would have the right to break his leg, and she would have to marry him unconditionally.
Wu Shengnan, facing such an unreasonable agreement, was completely unable to resist and signed her name on it.
These inside details were precisely what Cheng Xiaofan had discerned from the aura emanating from Wu Shengnan earlier.
It made Cheng Xiaofan sigh with emotion that this captain of the special police, who appeared so spirited on the outside, behaved so timidly in front of Ouyang Yu.
This also showed how arrogant Ouyang Yu, known as the capital's little bully, usually was!
Otherwise, Wu Shengnan wouldn't have been so fearful of such an influential young man.
At this moment!
Hearing Cheng Xiaofan's words, Wu Shengnan asked with a look of confusion, "Cheng Xiaofan, why are you being so good to me?"
Cheng Xiaofan burst into laughter. "Just because you're a beautiful woman!"
Wu Shengnan said, "You're helping me just because I'm pretty?"
Cheng Xiaofan wagged his index finger. "No, there's another reason. Ouyang Yu, this kind of privileged scion, is too much of a temptation for me. If I were to let him off easily, I'd be an idiot!"
Wu Shengnan asked curiously, "What temptation could someone like him, a spoiled brat, hold for you?"
Cheng Xiaofan laughed. "Beautiful woman, let's keep this confidential for now!"
What a joke! If he directly said he wanted to extort a large sum of money from Ouyang Yu, wouldn't that ruin his image in the eyes of this beautiful woman?
It was better not to say anything.
This was his rare trip to the capital, and if he didn't extort a substantial amount from some of these powerful figures, he would be letting down his conscience and even the heavens and all living beings!
Seeing that Cheng Xiaofan was unwilling to say, Wu Shengnan didn't press further.
She gently kicked Hua Lichun with her foot and asked, "Cheng Xiaofan, what do you plan to do with this woman?"
Cheng Xiaofan searched Hua Lichun and took a mobile phone from her, putting it in his pocket. "The owner of this hotel, Xiao Fang, is your friend. Do you think she can be trusted?"
Wu Shengnan smiled. "Xiao Fang is my good friend. When we special police have official meals, we often dine at her place."
"Because there are many people from the martial world who dine here, sometimes I even ask her to be my informant to gather some relevant information!"
Cheng Xiaofan nodded. "Beautiful woman, I found a vacant storeroom in this hotel. Call Xiao Fang to come up, and have her temporarily detain Hua Lichun in the storeroom."
"When I start dealing with your matters, I'll deal with her then."
"This Hua Lichun is a rogue cultivator, and she's involved in at least five murder cases. After I'm done with your business, I'll hand her over to your special police team!"
Wu Shengnan nodded. "Alright, I'll listen to you!"
She immediately dialed Xiao Fang's number, saying she had something to discuss and asked her to come to the private room.
A short while later, Xiao Fang arrived.
Upon seeing a woman lying on the ground, she was greatly surprised.
"Ah, Shengnan, who is this woman?" Xiao Fang asked urgently.
Wu Shengnan's expression turned serious. "Xiao Fang, this is a criminal we need to apprehend. Due to the special circumstances, we can't take her away right now."
"I asked you to come up because I want to discuss something with you. I want to hand her over to you for temporary detention."
Xiao Fang said, "Okay, I'll handle this matter."
Wu Shengnan said, "This must be kept secret. Don't let anyone else know."
