Miss Cousin is Always Busy (GL) Chapter 51

"Where is that bamboo forest?"

"It's over in the western suburbs. It's quite close; do you want me to take you there?" Xiao Shitou righteously volunteered, only to get struck in the head by Meng Lingxiao. Then, while holding his head, he complained, "Why do you keep hitting my head?! I won't be able to grow tall anymore!"

"Hmph. So what if I hit you?" Meng Lingxiao said without remorse. Then, he looked toward Jun Zishu and continued, "Do you plan on heading there now, Miss Warrior? Are you here to investigate some kind of incident?"

Subsequently, under Meng Lingxiao's curious gaze, Jun Zishu leaned closer to him, to which he responded by leaning closer to Jun Zishu. However, the next moment, Jun Zishu suddenly stepped back and smiled at him, saying, "Take a guess."

"Guess if I'll take a guess?" Meng Lingxiao said in dissatisfaction.

"Tsk. I want to head to that bamboo forest now. Lead the way."

"You got it! Xiao Shitou, let's go!"

To Jun Zishu's surprise, Meng Lingxiao knew martial arts. Instead of leaving through the front door, he jumped out of the backyard with Xiao Shitou clamped in his arm. Seeing this, Jun Zishu hurriedly chased after them.

"I haven't asked for your name yet, Miss Warrior. Although our initial meeting was somewhat unfavorable, we can now be considered acquaintances, right?"

After jumping out of the backyard, Meng Lingxiao put down Xiao Shitou, and the three of them walked side by side.

"Yan Xi," Jun Zishu said, chuckling at the other party's glib tongue.

"Yan Xi? That's a good name. It fits you very well. My name is Meng Lingxiao; the Ling(令) in token(令牌 - lìng pái) and the Xiao in awareness(知晓 - zhī xiǎo)."

"Meng Lingxiao."

"Yes."

"Me, me, me! My name is Xiao Shitou!" Xiao Shitou said, unwilling to be left out.

"I have one more thing to ask you two about."

"What is it?"

"Who's the richest person in Gui City? And who's the most influential person?"

Since the suspicious man had referred to the mastermind as "master," the mastermind should be either a wealthy or influential person.

"That's…tough to say."

"How so?"
