Chapter 236: Face is not important

Since I can neither kill nor release, I'll just knock them out first.

As soon as the item is in hand, she will slip away immediately.

Even if this child before her speaks out of turn after waking up, she figures those people won't be able to catch her anymore!

Thinking this, the woman curled the corners of her mouth, clearly feeling happy about her own cleverness.

But just as she was about to take action, another thought arose.

If she still doesn't find it this time, then how should she deal with this little child?

She couldn't just keep him knocked out forever, could she?

Wake up and knock out, knock out and faint, faint and wake up, wake up and knock out...

Thinking this, the woman was actually amused by herself and laughed out loud.

Although Zhu Gaoxu was pretending to be a child on the surface.

His inner self had already started complaining.

Although you look quite good, you keep raising your hand and then putting it down.

One moment your gaze is fierce, the next it's benevolent.

One moment you're happy, the next you're frowning.

Zhu Gaoxu even suspected that this woman might have some serious illness.

Like whether she had developed a split personality.

Anyway, no matter how Zhu Gaoxu looked at it, he didn't think this woman was a good person!

Shaking his head, just as Zhu Gaoxu was finding the other party incomprehensible, the woman finally stopped.

"Little brat, consider yourself lucky."

After saying this, the woman easily picked up Zhu Gaoxu.

Seeing that the other party had no malicious intent, Zhu Gaoxu did not resist.

The woman carried Zhu Gaoxu like that to a corner on the top floor before putting him down.

"I need to find something, you stay here honestly, and I'll let you live; if you dare to cry out randomly, see if I don't spare you!"

After speaking, the woman placed Jin Buyi on the ground.

Then she went to continue searching.

And how could Zhu Gaoxu let such an obvious opportunity pass by?

He immediately pretended to be a child and asked, "Then Auntie, did you lose something? What did you lose? I can help you find it."

Hearing Zhu Gaoxu's words, the woman was dazed for a moment.

After a long while, she shook her head and said, "I'd better do this myself; you, you won't be able to find it."

Having said that, she stopped paying attention to Zhu Gaoxu and began rummaging through boxes and cabinets to search.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu could only sigh helplessly.

There was nothing he could do if the other party wouldn't say.

After all, he didn't know what the item the other party was looking for was either.

He had just tried to bait it out, but it didn't work.

What if the thing she wanted to find was a Spirit Elixir, but he ended up seeing a Divine Weapon Manual?

Wouldn't that be a mismatch?

Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu could only wait like this for now.

Wait for her to find it, and then see if it was of any use to him.

If it was useful, then there was nothing more to say; he would just take it by force. If it wasn't useful.

Anyway, the other party hadn't shown hostility toward him earlier, so as long as this woman didn't do anything stupid, he wouldn't do anything to her either.

Thinking this, Zhu Gaoxu boredly watched her busy figure.

However, this waiting time did not last long.

Three minutes later, Zhu Gaoxu was already starting to feel sleepy.

Come to think of it, he could only watch the whole time, sitting here dryly.

He didn't even know what the other party was looking for.

He yawned.

Just at this moment, a noisy sound came from outside.

"Back so soon?"

Zhu Gaoxu was also startled.

He had just been regretting why he ran over here; it was so boring here, he should have gone to the main gate.

At least he could have watched the excitement.

But he didn't expect that these people would return so quickly.

Was the opponent too weak, or were these martial arts people too strong?

That shouldn't be it; after all, so many people had been on high alert for so many days, only to end it so hastily—that would be too embarrassing.

Jin Buyi was just thinking this when he was suddenly dragged away by the woman.

They went down two floors and arrived at a window.

The woman looked around cautiously, and seeing no one was paying attention, she opened the window and flew out with Jin Buyi.

Afterwards, she didn't forget to bring up a gust of palm wind to close the window.

After getting far away and seeing that no one had followed, the woman finally let out a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu was also a bit curious about what exactly was going on.

His heart was itching with curiosity.

At the same time, he had already made up his mind.

Once he returned this time, he must find a few Embroidered Uniform Guards to infiltrate as well.

In case a situation arose where he was spread too thin, at least there would be someone to look out for him.

He would be able to know the situation on both sides.

He shouldn't be like he was now, completely in the dark.

The key was that the woman before him was even more clueless than he was.

Having just breathed a sigh of relief, he now hurried back.

Zhu Gaoxu was carried back by the woman just like that.

It is worth mentioning that on the way, Zhu Gaoxu also encountered the disciple of Cangjian Villa he had seen in the kitchen earlier.

When that disciple saw Zhu Gaoxu being carried by the woman, his expression changed instantly.

Seeing that Zhu Gaoxu did not say much, he then breathed a sigh of relief.

After Zhu Gaoxu had walked far away, that disciple watched the receding figure and muttered, "I never heard that the couple Caixia had a boy..."

"Could it be they had another one?"

Shaking his head, he dared not let his imagination run wild anymore.

At the same time, he was secretly feeling fortunate that he hadn't offended Zhu Gaoxu earlier.

That couple Caixia were notoriously protective of their young; if he had really provoked Zhu Gaoxu...

If he hadn't lowered his head that day and had instead stood his ground for the sake of face, he would probably be lying inside a coffin by now.

"Sure enough, face is not important."
