Chapter 89

"Let's go in."


After Chu Li's words fell, he carried Mu Yunjin and used qinggong to easily jump over the city wall, and stably falling to stand on the ground.


After Mu Yunjin stood still she saw her surroundings, she looked around in surprise at the street which looked like a market. People come and go, she looked at Chu Li.


"Black market?"


"En."


Chu Li was not surprised that Mu Yunjin could accurately identify the market. He gave an indifferent sound of confirmation.


Mu Yunjin looked ahead, the reason why she knew that the street was a black market, because she saw the people coming and going at this time in the market, are dressed not like ordinary people.


In the past, when she was working abroad for a mission, she had been to a lot of black markets, and the situation was not less than this.


Mu Yunjin followed Chu Li for a few steps. She looked around her from time to time. She had not walked for long when she saw that the shops on the streets were mostly gambling houses and p.a.w.nshops, taking up more than half of the street.


When she saw the gambling places, Mu Yunjin could not help but recall that when she was in Xiangfu, she heard Zi Xiang say that Mu Yiyang was a gambler, and sold Mu Xiang's house in Zhang Zhou City secretly, presumably it was here.


Mu Yunjin walked, suddenly she collided with a man and b.u.mped her shoulder, then the man bent toward Mu Yunjin.


"Guniang, I'm sorry, I'm anxious to go to the Yuntian Gambling House, the number one genius Huang Ye will be there. I will be able to make a profit!"


When his words fell, the man walked towards the Yuntian gambling house.


Mu Yunjin crossed her arms and had just wanted to ask Chu Li if he wanted to go to the Yuntian Gambling house when she was. .h.i.t on the back again.


"Aiyo, I'm in a hurry. There's a deity in the Bailan casino today. I haven't lost yet. I'm going to the p.a.w.nshop to take back the antiques I p.a.w.ned before."


After that, the man also left in a hurry.


Mu Yunjin met two people in a row, she was inevitably surprised as she looked towards Chu Li.


"Business compet.i.tion here is so serious?"


Chu Li nodded.


"The gambling industry is the most prosperous here."


"Then..."


Mu Yunjin paused, before continuing:


"You said we'll take gold, you don't mean that you brought me here to gamble, right?"


When her word fell, Mu Yunjin looked at Chu Li, sizing him up. No matter how she look, he does not seem to be a gambler.


Chu Li shook his head and looked at Mu Yunjin before continuing to walk.


Mu Yunjin couldn't understand Chu Li's meaning, so she had to follow him all the way. When she saw some people coming, she learned quite well this time, and easily avoided colliding with them every time.


In her heart, she continuously scolded, 'these d.a.m.ned wretches' way of greeting can't be a bit more amiable, to be b.u.mped so much in a day, she will definitely apply wound medicine later when she returns.


Chu Li walked along with Mu Yunjin into a family teahouse.


On the third floor of the teahouse, Chu Li and Mu Yunjin did not sit in a private room, but chose to sit down by the windows. At this time, people come and go, and Mu Yunjin looked at those people, all of them filled with evil tendencies.


A few moments later, a group of people came up, found an empty spot and a man put his sword on the table fiercely, as he cursed in rage.


"d.a.m.n it! I still want to find that surnamed Huang fellow to settle accounts, he unexpectedly ran away!"


"Are you looking for that surnamed Huang too?"


The people at the next table heard it and immediately moved closer.


"Of course, that fellow won all of my family properties, and I don't even have travel expenses to go back to the city. See if I won't kill that guy!"


"We did, too, and all the family money were lost, and when I heard that the guy had appeared in Yuntian gambling place a few days ago, I had especially went there but he had already run away."


Hearing these people's words, Mu Yunjin sneered at them, raised her eyebrows in disdain, lost the gamble, and still blaming other people.


As she was thinking, a pale-faced scholar came up the stairway, with a delicate and pretty appearance, refined and graceful, walking step by step in Chu Li's direction.


"Greetings gongzi."


The scholar bowed to Chu Li.


Then he shot a glance at Mu Yunjin who was sitting on the side, he smiled politely and nodded his head.


Mu Yunjin was confused about who this person was when she heard a shout from the side.


"Huang Yan, fancy that, I, your father has been looking for you for quite a while, but you actually delivered yourself at the door!"


At the end of his words, the guests who were sitting on the side rushed forth, carrying their swords in their hands.


Mu Yunjin was a little surprised, but again she took a look at the people, and knew that this pale-faced scholar, is the person those people were discussing the Huang fellow.


But the man looked at most like a bookworm, how could he be a gambler, and this man even knew Chu Li.


Mu Yunjin was a little confused.


"Why are you looking for old Huang?"


Huang Yan poured himself a gla.s.s of water, and did not even glance at those people.


Listening to Huang Yan's unkind words, the first man pulled out a knife and put it on Huang Yan's neck.


"You little boy, as long as you follow this uncle and hand over your winnings from me, I will spare you, or else I will let your blood splash on the spot today, in order to spend those things!"


"Yes, as long as you spit out our silver, we will spare you!"


The people at the side echoed.


Mu Yunjiin held her head, she especially despised the actions of these people, but when she looked at the knife on Huang Yan's neck, Mu Yunjin turned her eyes to look at Chu Li.


Chu Li looked indifferent at the moment, sipping tea, as if he heard nothing.


Mu Yunjin saw this and her eyebrows raised, and looked at Huang Yan. She inwardly thought, is it possible that what Chu Li means by gold, is these people's gambling money?


Huang Yan seems to be an old acquaintance of Chu Li.


Mu Yunjin was shocked by her own ideas, and was about to ask Chu Li when a lascivious and nefarious voice came from the side.


"This fellow surnamed Huang actually knows beautiful people, in a moment, we'll go and sell you to a brothel, you can actually get a good price."


Mu Yunjin frowned at the words, gave an impatient look to the people, and then slapped the table, shouting:


"Hurry and get lost for this old lady!"


She still wanted to ask Chu Li about the whereabouts of the gold, but was interrupted by these people.


Chu Li saw Mu Yunjin confront these people without fear, with a little smile in his countenance he said:


"Mu Yunjin, settle them, and you can get the gold."


"What?"


Upon hearing Chu Li's words, Mu Yunjin seems a bit unbelieving.


"You want me to settle them?"


Chu Li nod, his eyes, tranquil and calm as he looked at Mu Yunjin.


Mu Yunjin's heart sank, she looked at Chu Li, her face darkened gradually. Chu Li is sounding her out, has he already known that she can do martial arts?


Why else would he say such things for no reason?


Mu Yunjin narrowed her eyes, her chest burst with an indescribable anger, a sense of humiliation of being led by the nose rushed forth from her heart.


"Chu Li, are you playing with me?"


Mu Yunjin is displeased, Chu Li's words, she only knew well.


When she was on the anti-terrorism team, those who regard her life as a gra.s.sy mustard are also like this, lightly and indifferently telling her:


"Mu'er, kill them, and the money is yours."


At this point, those unbearable memories came back to her mind again, is this any different?


Is she always a money making killing machine wherever she goes?


Seeing Mu Yunjin is suddenly angry, those who came to pick a fight suddenly laughed.


"Little girl, you go with us, you see what these people treat you as... Ah! "


Before he had finished speaking, Mu Yunjin raised her hand and the man was killed on the spot by a silver needle that had spilled from her finger into his throat.


In the process, Mu Yunjin didn't even turn her head, and only by her senses she easily killed a man.


Seeing this, those who originally came to find trouble, showed a bit of panic, immediately they backed a few steps.


Mu Yunjin was full of murderous intent at this time. Her eyes were all cold. She looked at Chu Li.


"Your Highness Liu Huangzi, how is it? Are you satisfied with this skill?"


"If you are not satisfied, then I'll show you my hands again."


Mu Yunjin sneered and turned her wrist. The dagger, which had been hidden in her sleeve, was held in her hand. As she was about to wave it to one of them, her wrist was held.


"What?"


Mu Yunjin looked at Chu Li, with ridicule in her eyes.


Chu Li looked at her smiling face, and his eyes grew colder and colder. He held her wrist in his hand and exerted himself a bit.


"You are very clean. Killing is not fit for you."


Chu Li's eyes were bright, and his words were full of affirmation.


Mu Yunjin is stumped for words, a little incredulous as she looked at Chu Li, the two people's eyes met, unexpectedly have a kind of unspeakable feeling.


Clean?


This is the first time someone told her that.


"Huang Yan, handing it over to you."


After Chu Li left those words, he took Mu Yunjin's wrist and flew out of the third floor window with Mu Yunjin.


Mu Yunjin had been taken by Chu Li to the outskirts near the mountains and rivers. After standing still, Chu Li took Mu Yunjin to a stream and said:


"Go and wash your hands."


"What?"


Mu Yunjin did not understand Chu Li's meaning very much.


"Wash your hands."


Chu Li repeated it again.


Mu Yunjin then turned her eyes to the stream in front of her. The water was clear and there was no impurity in it.


Washing hands…..


Mu Yunjin looked at her hands and said quietly:


"When did you know?"


"The first time I saw you."


Chu Li was standing at the side of the stream, looking at Mu Yunjin through the shadow of the water.


Mu Yunjin raised the corner of her lips and listened to Chu Li's words. She said:


"It turns out that my disguise is so bad."


After that, Mu Yunjin stood up and looked up at Chu Li's eyes.


"In that case, you could have just point it out directly. Why did you test me just now?"


"Mysterious spirit sutra will bring you trouble, it is best you don't touch it easily."


Chu Li's hands were behind him. He looked at Mu Yunjin without expression.


Mu Yunjin's heart trembled in fear, after a long time she gave a selfmocking smile.


"I really can't hide anything from you."


After saying that, Mu Yunjin felt a sense of loss. She kneeled down and sat beside the stream. She put her hand into the cold water and washed it again and again.


Chu Li looked at this scene, suddenly smiled, stretched out his hand and rubbed Mu Yunjin's head and sighed softly.


"Ben huangzi will not harm you."


Mu Yunjin lowered her eyes, and after hearing Chu Li's words, her hands were slightly trembled, watching the little ripples in the stream, she seemed to congeal.


After a quiet moment, Mu Yunjin gave a side glance at the figure on her side, and slowly said:


"How can we get gold?"


------------------------------------------------


TL: At first I was ready to get angry at Chu Li for being so irritating but before I could flare up he suddenly did a double take and I couldn't continue getting angry. It actually became a little fluffy before the end of the chapter. This is a good chapter filled with development, relationship wise. A secret of Yunjin that is actually not so secret for Chu Li is now out in the open so I guess another step has been taken for them to slowly get closer. But the secrets that do matter and left us hanging are still secrets with no clue to be seen in the horizon.


I can't help laughing at the end by Yunjin suddenly and stubbornly mentioning the gold again. I wonder, if Chu Li knew that Yunjin is actually saving money for the future when they separate will he still give gold to Yunjin.


Hope you enjoyed this chapter!
