Chapter 233: Chapter 233: Suspicions and Surprises

Wufu toyed with the butterfly knife in her hand, feeling extremely pleased, as if she had returned to the days when she used knives in her previous life.

She first became interested in using butterfly knives after seeing her senior handle them so smoothly, thinking it was so cool and suave, and begged him to teach her. She hadn’t expected to be looked down upon and, fueled by that spur of disdain, she practiced day and night. It took her years before she reached a level of consummate skill.

Later, the knife became an extension of her, not only saving her life but also giving her a sense of security. In many missions, it proved to be an indispensable weapon.

Now, playing with it, she indeed felt a little dazed as if she had returned to the past.

Wufu stretched out her hand and caught the falling knife with steadiness, folding it together with a smile on her face, she looked at Lady Li and said, "This knife is very well made."

Lady Li and Liu Jin both snapped back to reality, realizing their astonishment, they coughed awkwardly.

"It’s made according to your requirements. If there’s anything you’re not satisfied with, it can still be modified," Lady Li said.

"No need, it’s all quite good," Wufu shook her head and smiled, "I’ll take it."

Lady Li nodded, "That will be eight taels of silver."

Liu Jin inhaled sharply, finding it expensive.

Wufu, however, felt it was worth the price, she carefully stored the knife away, then paid the silver, and said with a smile, "Lady Li’s craftsmanship is excellent. I will come again in the future, and I hope for a discount then."

She felt she might come to this shop again in the future for something, so she decided to establish some rapport in advance.

Lady Li was surprised but nodded, "There’s always a discount for regular customers."

Having gotten what she wanted, Wufu didn’t linger. She left with Liu Jin right away.

As Lady Li watched them walk away, she thought for a moment, then lifted the curtain and went into the back hall to inform Young Master Duan about the girl who handled the knife so expertly.

Liu Jin had been unable to hold back his excitement and eagerly asked, "Miss, what was that move you just did? It was so impressive!"

He thought if he could perform such beautiful knife skills, it would be so imposing!

"It’s all just practice makes perfect!" Wufu laughed, seeing the eager look in his eyes, she warned, "Don’t try it yourself haphazardly. You must be very proficient to do it so smoothly, otherwise, it’s easy to hurt your hands, or even your face."

Seeing his thoughts were laid bare, Liu Jin admitted with an embarrassed face, "I certainly wouldn’t dare to handle it like you, Miss."

Wufu, discerning his little thought, said with a smile, "If you really want to learn, I’ll carve you a wooden knife when we get back, and you can start practicing slowly with that."

Liu Jin was overjoyed and nodded eagerly.

"Let’s go to the cosmetic shop," Wufu said, having secured the knife. She remembered her plans and headed down the street.

Liu Jin was slightly stunned. The cosmetic shop?

The Miss was not someone who liked to dress up. For instance, she was currently not wearing any makeup and her clothing was chosen for comfort. Why did she suddenly want to doll up?

However, considering that she would be reaching the age of marriage in a few months, it seemed fitting for her to think of adorning herself. He smiled and followed in her footsteps.

The two first went to the cosmetic shop, where Wufu, without hesitation, bought some cosmetics and some other materials that Liu Jin didn’t understand.

After leaving the cosmetic shop, they turned towards a ready-made clothing shop, and this time, Wufu directly purchased a Short Brown outfit intended for men.

Liu Jin was shocked; the short brown outfit and trousers were sized for adults, not his size. What was the Miss planning to do?

With a head full of questions but not daring to ask more, Liu Jin followed Wufu out of the shop and returned to the inn.

As they left the shop, they didn’t notice that from one of the windows on the second floor of the tea house across from the shop, someone was watching them, uttering a sound of surprise.

"Eh?"
