At the same time, in Splendid Manor.
In a side room, a half-naked man was sitting inside.
He had a handsome face and his muscles were taut.
At first glance, he looked extremely muscular.
At this moment, he was holding a teacup in his hand and sipping tea.
He looked very leisurely.
There was also a gray hawk standing beside him.
Its eyes were as sharp as a knife as it scanned the room.
From time to time, it would let out two low cries.
It gave off a restless feeling.
"Hmph!"
The man glanced at the hawk and snorted coldly. "A beast is a beast …"
"It just can't calm down …"
As he spoke, a trace of disdain appeared on his face.
This man was none other than the person who killed the Celestial Venerable.
Rustle …
Just as the man was about to speak, a soft sound was heard.
He looked up and saw Shopkeeper Chen, who was wearing a brocade robe, walking in.
"Sir, sorry to keep you waiting …"
Shopkeeper Chen went into the side room and handed a green robe to the man. "Your robe is ready …"
His voice was soft and gentle.
His actions gave people a sense of femininity.
"Oh?"
Hearing Shopkeeper Chen's words, the man raised his eyebrows and said, "So fast?"
"Of course …"
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Chen smiled faintly and said, "In Jinling City, I'm famous for being fast!"
"Then I'd like to see how good your skills are …"
Hearing Shopkeeper Chen's words, the man took the robe.
When he took the robe, his eyelids twitched as if he had discovered something.
After twirling the robe with his hands, he said, "Shopkeeper Chen, you're really good …"
"The material used for this robe is of high quality."
"Sir, you really know the quality of the goods …"
Shopkeeper Chen said, "The material used for this robe is of high quality …"
Hearing this, the man's mouth twitched. "How high is it?"
"The city walls of Jinling are so high …"
Shopkeeper Chen said shyly.
His appearance and actions were like that of a woman, incomparably feminine.
"It's more than that …"
Just as Shopkeeper Chen was feeling awkward, the man shook his head and said, "The quality of this material is excellent. It should be from Sichuan brocade …"
"This material is of the highest quality. The shopkeeper's taste is not bad …"
"You flatter me!"
Hearing the man's praise, Shopkeeper Chen seemed a little embarrassed. "I just have a lot of contact with it. It doesn't matter if my taste is good or not."
Although Shopkeeper Chen sounded humble, there was a hint of joy on his face.
At the same time, he opened his mouth and said, "Since you know so much about the goods, I can charge you less for these clothes."
"It's easy to talk about the money …"
At this moment, the man continued, "Shopkeeper's methods are completely worth the money …"
As he spoke, the man's palm brushed the pattern on his shirt.
Especially when he brushed past the embroidered bamboo pattern, his eyebrows twitched.
After a glance, a playful expression appeared on his face.
At the same time, she continued, "Her embroidery skills are especially admirable …"
"The flying needle is incomparably smooth, without any sense of stagnation. The pattern is also vivid and lifelike …"
"To be able to make a piece of clothing in such a short period of time, with such high-quality materials and exquisite embroidery …"
"Even the top embroiderers in the Palace Weaving Bureau do not have such precise and neat skills …"
At this point, the man paused.
He glanced at Shopkeeper Chen and said, "Shopkeeper, I'm afraid you're not an ordinary person, right?"
Hehehe …
Shopkeeper Chen chuckled when he heard the man's words.
At the same time, he said, "You flatter me. How am I not an ordinary person …"
"I just like this kind of thing. I've been studying it since I was young …"
"After so many years, I've only become like this. It's not surprising …"
As he spoke, Shopkeeper Chen's face was filled with shyness. His expression became more and more bashful.
"Is that so?"
After hearing Shopkeeper Chen's explanation, the man shook his head and said, "Have you heard of the Embroidery House?"
The Embroidery House!
Shopkeeper Chen was taken aback when he heard this.
Then he shook his head and replied, "I've never heard of it …"
Seeing Shopkeeper Chen shake his head, the man took a sip of tea and said faintly, "The Embroidery House used to be an internal guard of the Imperial Court. When the Emperor was purging the Imperial Court, they were responsible for killing those who violated the law …"
"Back then, the most outstanding person was called Chen Qingyun …"
"This person's martial arts were shocking. He used an embroidery needle …"
"When he used his martial arts, it was really cold and sharp. It was unstoppable …"
"Every time this person killed a thief, he would die. He never failed …"
"After killing someone, he would dye the thread with blood and embroider it with a peony. That's why he was called the Blood Peony …"
"Shopkeeper Chen's needle technique is not inferior to this person's!"
As he spoke, the man looked at Shopkeeper Chen.
The light in his eyes was so bright that it was difficult to look at it directly.
"Is … is that so?"
Shopkeeper Chen's heart moved when he heard the man's words. He hurriedly said, "Then you flatter me …"
After Shopkeeper Chen said that, the man's eyes narrowed and he continued, "It's a pity that such a person disappeared from the Imperial Court overnight …"
"If he's alive, I can't find him. If he's dead, I can't find his corpse …"
"Now that I see your needle technique, I think I'm looking at the Blood Peony from back then!"
When the man said that, Shopkeeper Chen was shocked. He hurriedly said, "No, no …"
"I'm just a commoner in the city who likes to tailor clothes. I don't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as any lord …"
"Lord's words really scared me …"
His words were flustered. It was obvious that he was frightened.
"Is that so?"
Looking at Shopkeeper Chen's appearance, the man raised an eyebrow.
Whether or not Shopkeeper Chen in front of him was what he thought, he just needed to test it out!
When he thought of this, he clenched his fist.
An invisible sense of pressure suddenly rose.
…
Just as the atmosphere in Splendid Manor was stifling, on the streets of Jinling City.
Wang Ye came out of Drunken Immortal Restaurant and went straight into a remote alley.
After running for a while, he arrived at the entrance of Splendid Manor.
At this moment, his gaze shifted and he saw the topless man sitting in the side room.
He was talking to Shopkeeper Chen.
Next to his hand was the gray falcon!
It's really that bastard!
Seeing this scene, Wang Ye's heart skipped a beat. A trace of joy appeared on his face.
This shirtless man must be the Qian Ji Wei without a doubt.
Fortunately, this falcon was a beast and could not speak human language.
Otherwise, he would be in trouble!
Now, as long as he killed this feathered beast, he would not have to worry about anything!
Thinking of this, Wang Ye circulated his inner energy and flicked it.
Whoosh!
In an instant, a force suddenly whistled out like a flying locust arrow.
It was like a bolt of lightning, flying towards the gray falcon!
