Seeing that Shu Mingshen was looking at him curiously, Lu Xiaofeng gave him a friendly smile. He raised his hand to touch the beard above his lips, which was identical to his eyebrows, and said, "This one is Lu Xiaofeng, a friend of Hua Manlou. I've heard him talk about you several times before. I just happened to be free today, so I came with him to take a look. I didn't expect to encounter such a situation."

He and Hua Manlou had originally come here to deliver flowers because it was said that this scholar liked flowers as much as the other party. Who would have thought that as soon as they arrived at the gate, they would see a group of assassins fiercely pouncing on the other party? Therefore, without thinking, Lu Xiaofeng was the first to throw the two flower pots in his hands at the assassins.

Fortunately, they had come in time. Otherwise, this scholar would have been in real danger.

Hearing this, Shu Mingshen looked at the corpses on the ground. He thought that if Hua Manlou and Lu Zongzi hadn't arrived in time, the one lying on the ground would be him. Therefore, he hurriedly bowed to the other party with lingering fear and said, "Many thanks to Lu Zongzi for your help. Shu Mingshen is eternally grateful!"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and waved his hand, saying, "You're welcome. Since you're Hua Manlou's friend, you're naturally my friend as well. However, I'm a little curious. Why did these assassins want to kill you? Did you do something to offend them?"

Shu Mingshen couldn't help but smile bitterly. He shook his head and said, "This one doesn't even know them. I've never encountered such a situation before, so this one doesn't know why they want to kill me …"

Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou couldn't help but frown slightly. These assassins were obviously professionals who had been trained for a long time. It was impossible for them to kill the wrong person. However, since even the scholar himself didn't know, how could they investigate?

The few of them searched the bodies of the assassins but did not find any useful clues. They could not help but become more and more suspicious.

Lu Xiaofeng lamented, "Recently, the Jianghu has been really chaotic. Even the assassin organization is not just one. The Cyan-robed Tower, the Blood Cloak Sect, and the Red Shoes. Based on the skills of these people, I'm afraid they're from one of those organizations …"

Hua Manlou said, "If that's the case, then it's even stranger. Who would spend so much effort to kill an unarmed ordinary person?"

Hearing that, Lu Xiaofeng thought for a moment and said, "That's not necessarily true. How do you know that Mr. Shu is not some kind of hidden master? Maybe even you and I are not his match."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but wink at Shu Mingshen.

Shu Mingshen could only continue to smile bitterly. "…"

If he really was a peerless expert, he wouldn't have been so scared just now.

"…" The Ninth Young Master had been listening to the other party's words. When he heard this, he couldn't help but look at Shu Mingshen.

In fact, it wasn't that he didn't suspect that Shu Mingshen was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. However, after interacting with him for a few days, he realized that Shu Mingshen wasn't deliberately pretending to be stupid. He was really stupid …

Shu Mingshen and Agy skillfully wrapped bandages on each other's bodies. The Ninth Young Master stood there with his eyes lowered, deep in thought. Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou were still studying these assassins. At this time, Dongfang Bubai walked in from outside the door …

"…" After seeing the corpses lying on the ground, Dongfang Bubai was a little surprised, but he didn't show too much surprise. However, after seeing him, the people in the courtyard all widened their eyes (except for Hua Manlou).

Because today, Dongfang Bubai was wearing women's clothes …

In fact, Shu Mingshen already knew that Dongfang Bubai had a hobby of dressing up as women. However, this was someone else's private matter after all, so it wasn't worthwhile for him to say anything. Every time Dongfang Bubai changed into women's clothes and called him Brother Dongfang, Dongfang Bubai would stare at him expressionlessly like a dead fish. "…"

Therefore, he and Agy formed a habit of calling each other Brother Dongfang when Dongfang Bubai was in men's clothes, and Miss Dongfang when Dongfang Bubai was in women's clothes. After a long time, they naturally didn't think much of it.

Therefore, after seeing Dongfang Bubai in women's clothes today, Shu Mingshen subconsciously said to the other party, "Dongfang Miss, you're back?"

Dongfang Bubai, who was wearing a bright red dress and combed her hair, looked bright, with red lips and white teeth. She nodded at him and asked, "What happened here?"

So, Shu Mingshen told him what had happened just now from the beginning to the end.

"…" Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but frown. Just as he was thinking, a man with four eyebrows wearing a red cloak at the side coughed lightly and moved closer to him. He smiled and said, "Cough, Miss is indeed a rare beauty. This one is Lu Xiaofeng, greetings to Dongfang Miss!"

"…" Dongfang Bubai looked at him indifferently, then walked around the other party and went straight to Shu Mingshen and Agy. "I still have some medicine in my room. Agy, come with me to get it."

Agy obediently replied with an "En", then followed behind Dongfang Bubai.

"…" Lu Xiaofeng looked at the other party's back as she turned and left without even looking at him. He couldn't help but sigh.
