Chapter 232: Chapter 0232: Obscuring for the Elder

"How do you know I’m thinking about a woman? Maybe I was considering something else?" Chu Ge said with a smile.

"Hush—" suddenly Nangong Man Sha stretched out a slender jade finger, placing it on her lips, "Never ever try to deceive a smart woman with strong intuition."

"Ha ha ha ha—" Seeing the rare coy demeanor of Nangong Man Sha, Chu Ge couldn’t help but laugh.

"I wonder, Miss Man Sha, may I presumptuously ask Mr. Chu a question?" Nangong Man Sha stared at Chu Ge and suddenly spoke.

"Miss Man Sha, feel free to ask," Chu Ge leaning on the railing, casually replied while looking at the distant scenery.

"That woman, is she beautiful?"

Hearing this question, Chu Ge was clearly stunned for a moment, as he thought Nangong Man Sha was mostly referring to the suddenly appeared Jian Chunqiu.

After a few seconds of silence, Chu Ge nodded, "Very beautiful."

Actually, with Nangong Man Sha’s intelligence capabilities, she probably already knew about Mu Bingtong, so when she asked this question, Chu Ge momentarily didn’t react.

"Oh?" Nangong Man Sha responded in an indescribable tone, and suddenly asked again, "Then, how does she compare to me?"

Comparisons of beauty were common among beautiful women, but such a situation appearing with a woman like Nangong Man Sha, obviously made it feel a bit eerie.

Chu Ge glanced at Nangong Man Sha: "Just in terms of appearance, you two are quite incomparable. But she is like the snow lotus on Heaven Mountain, icy and aloof. Whereas, Miss Man Sha, you are like a rose burning with flames. Passionate to no end."

"Hehehehe—" It seemed she heard a rather satisfying answer, Nangong Man Sha covered her mouth and giggled softly.

"I won’t disturb Mr. Chu’s reminiscing alone then, I’ve given you my number already, feel free to call me anytime," she said, then suddenly leaned close to Chu Ge and whispered in his ear, breathing like orchid, "Anytime!"

"This woman." Watching the gradually disappearing graceful silhouette of Nangong Man Sha, Chu Ge couldn’t help but shake his head and wryly smile, even upon leaving, she had to tease him.

Only, he didn’t know why. He always felt that Nangong Man Sha’s gaze at him was different than before.

The previous gaze, although coquettish, to Chu Ge, felt completely filled with interests and respect, but today, there seemed to be something else added to it.

However, he didn’t think too much about it, and after sending a text message to Mu Bingtong, he went down the deck.

The last two days, the people on the cruise ship still partied as usual, yet only a very few knew they had gone through several life-threatening crises!

Finally, two days later at noon, the cruise ship docked at the port.

It was still the same hotel, but now the lobby manager had been replaced. Seeing Mr. Ouyang and the others come in, he quickly came up with utmost enthusiasm to greet them.

Mr. Sima was beside Mr. Ouyang, chuckled, "Now, this hotel has become property of the Sima Family."

"You act really fast." Mr. Ouyang glanced at him with a bit of irritation.

Mr. Sima didn’t take it to heart and with a curled lip said, "Heh, only allowing Duan Congxing to make a move on the first day, and not allowing Sima Lingfu to execute plans on the fifteenth?"

But upon the mention of Duan Congxing, gloom surfaced on both old masters’ faces.

"A dead rabbit evokes the grief of its fellow, although we could be considered adversaries, after all, it’s decades of acquaintance. Suddenly seeing Duan Congxing’s tragic death, both old masters inevitably felt a bit melancholic."

Following that, both lost the mood to talk much, arranged their rooms, and went in to rest.

Since it was nearly evening, the plan was to rest in the hotel for a day, and return to Shanghai the next early morning.

Meanwhile, Chu Ge took advantage of the noon time to visit the market again, heading to where the little girl lived.

However, the house was now locked.

Seeing Chu Ge coming over, the neighbor exclaimed, "Ah, you... you are the young Divine Doctor!"

After all, Chu Ge was only in his early twenties, so a prefix "young" was added when addressing him.

"This house..."

"You mean this household." The neighbor, a forty-something old lady, was currently rinsing rice. Hearing Chu Ge speak, she hurriedly put down the rice bowl, and after simply wiping her hands on her clothes, came over to Chu Ge and said, "Speaking of which, we have to thank you."

"Thank me?" Chu Ge murmured, softly musing, "It seems Zhao Wuji is quite effective in handling matters."

"Exactly." The old lady nodded, her gaze on Chu Ge filled with admiration, "Not long after you left, that mother and daughter were taken away by someone. I heard they were arranging a school and living place for the little girl. Honestly, wealthy young men with good character like you are really rare these days!"

"Wealthy second generation?" Chu Ge couldn’t help but laugh wryly, but now that he confirmed Zhao Wuji had handled the matter properly, he lost the will to wander any further, bid farewell to the old lady, and after selecting some exquisitely beautiful shells on the market, he returned to the hotel.

Dinner was the last gathering; not many people, only Mr. Sima, Mr. Ouyang, Wang Lijun, and Zheng Lihong were present.

This time at the banquet, Wang Lijun was clearly restrained and no longer had his previously arrogant demeanor.

To be honest, aside from the Blood Hand Organization, at any other battle on the cruise, he could only qualify as cannon fodder when participating.

Meanwhile, this young man before him, Wang Lijun had personally witnessed, brutally killing the Early Innate Gui Futu. Not to mention the masked man who appeared later wielding a sword like a Sword Immortal.

"Mr. Chu, I was disrespectful before, please don’t take it to your heart!" Wang Lijun mustered all his courage to stand up, holding his wine glass, he respectfully bowed to Chu Ge, then drank it in one gulp.

"Hehe." Chu Ge smiled, looking at him, "Didn’t you apologize to me that day? I didn’t take it to my heart since then. Don’t worry, I’m quite laid back by nature, I don’t like causing trouble proactively unless someone provokes me."

Hearing this, Wang Lijun visibly relaxed, feeling the heavy stone that had been pressing on his heart suddenly disappear, making him feel a lot lighter.

The banquet naturally went well with all the guests enjoying, but during the feast, Mr. Sima asked as if in passing, "By the way, Mr. Chu, that masked Sword Immortal who appeared later, truly is a master!"

Chu Ge, knowing what he wanted to ask, didn’t hide much, saying directly, "That’s one of my seniors, but as for his name, I prefer not to disclose."

"Ah, respecting the privacy of elders is proper, of course, of course!"
