The Red-Robed Cult Master

"?"

The security guard immediately glanced at him as if he were an idiot.

Qin Shang quickly changed his story.

"It's like this, a friend asked me to come find someone, but I don't know their name. It's an online friend of my friend."

"Yes, an online friend. Their username is 'Red-robed Cult Master'. Big brother security guard, do you know if any of our residents use this username..."

The security guard's mouth twitched, his expression incredibly abstract.

Online friend?

Looking for someone?

Could 'Red-robed Cult Master' be a game ID?

What kind of eyes do you have to think I, a security guard, would know the personal information of our residents?

Seeing this, Qin Shang also found himself in a difficult spot. Before 'Grandpa Niu' was subjected to 'Divine Punishment', he didn't have much time to pass on much information to him. This was troublesome.

He said with a wry smile, "So, do the villas inside have names? Like Red-robed Villa? Red-robed 'Grandpa Niu'? Red-robed Red Grandpa or something..."

"Friend, are you here to have some fun?"

The security guard was completely losing his patience, seeing Qin Shang wandering aimlessly.

The security guard immediately felt the urge to drive him away.

"Go on, go on. If you have nothing else to do, don't loiter around here. I thought it was the Sheriff looking for one of our residents for something important, but it turns out you're looking for an online friend. How would I know our residents' usernames?"

"You don't even know the resident's real name and you dare to come out to meet them in this day and age? Young man, you're really something..."

The security guard spat.

Just then.

Rumble—

Accompanied by the roar of an engine, a red Ferrari suddenly drove into the bend, then emerged from between the green plants on both sides. Without slowing down, it reached the main gate before slowly coming to a stop with a loud screech of brakes.

The next moment, a delicate, charming, and stunningly beautiful face emerged from the driver's seat.

Her features were picturesque, and she exuded sexiness and charm.

She spoke in a melodious voice.

"Lift the barrier, handsome..."

Seeing this, the security guard immediately put on a fawning smile.

"Miss Pei, you're back?"

"Changed cars again? I'll open the gate for you, please wait a moment!"

Upon hearing this, the woman in the red Ferrari nodded slightly, then casually asked as if it were an afterthought.

"Oh, right. When I was coming over just now, I saw a police car over there. Did something happen in the neighborhood?"

"No, the people in the police car were this young man. I don't know what he's doing, but he said he was looking for someone called 'Red-robed Cult Master', claiming to be his online friend."

"I guess he might think this is some tourist spot to check in."

"His accent sounds like he's from out of town. It's nothing..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the woman in the Ferrari paused slightly, then looked towards the young figure standing next to the security booth.

A backpack, casual wear, sneakers – his entire appearance was dusty and travel-worn.

He really did look like a tourist from out of town, the kind who visits high-end residential areas like this.

However, the woman known as Miss Pei did not leave immediately after the security guard raised the barrier. Instead, she held the steering wheel with one hand, and with her other slender hand, adorned with bright red nail polish, she took off her sunglasses.

Her beautiful eyes looked at Qin Shang, a hint of contemplation in their depths.

The security guard was stunned.

His gaze also flickered between Miss Pei and Qin Shang for a moment.

He thought, Holy crap, no way?

Could it be that Miss Pei is interested in this kid?

So the owner of the neighborhood's most luxurious mansion actually likes this kind of pretty boy style?

The next moment, under Qin Shang's confused gaze.

Miss Pei's red lips parted slightly. After sizing Qin Shang up for a long while, she said faintly, "Hey, let's talk in the car..."

"What are you still standing around for?"

Huh!?

She... she's talking to me?

Qin Shang was taken aback.

A red Ferrari, a red dress, red nail polish, long hair dyed a dark red, and red sunglasses.

Wait, why were this woman's sunglasses also red?

Did she like red that much?

Hiss!

The Red-robed Cult Master?

Was the woman in this Ferrari the Red-robed Cult Master?

Qin Shang's eyes widened.

He quickly walked over and opened the car door.

As soon as the door opened, a deep perfume scent wafted out.

Qin Shang had once read a post about identifying women by their scent. The gist of it was that women who liked the subtle fragrance of orchids tended to be introverted and serene.

Women who liked the rich scent of roses were usually mature and alluring.

The scent in the car wasn't rose, but it was certainly rich.

Women with a rich scent were described as generous, mature, alluring, and enchanting.

Generally, these were women with more life experience and who were older.

"This big sister looks to be in her twenties, but she's probably actually in her early thirties?"

He got into the passenger seat, and before Qin Shang could speak.

Rumble—

A violent roar sounded in his ears, and Qin Shang instinctively gripped the handrail.

Immediately after, the Ferrari turned into a red streak and drove into the residential complex.

The security guard at the entrance who had been arguing with Qin Shang watched this scene with wide eyes, his mouth twitching, his face full of disbelief.

"So, Miss Pei likes this type of person?"

"Young men and women these days are too wild, getting into a car and taking someone home after just a few words?"

Gulp.

The security guard swallowed hard, his tone filled with indescribable envy.

"Damn, if I had known Miss Pei liked this style, I would have gotten a buzz cut too..."

The income for a security guard in such a high-end complex was a bit more than elsewhere, but not significantly so, maybe an extra few thousand yuan at most.

However, the residents they had to serve were much more demanding than in ordinary complexes.

Rich people could be moody, and a slight delay in raising the gate could lead to a severe scolding.

So, who working as a security guard in a place like this didn't have some ulterior motives?

Working as a security guard in a high-end complex, if appreciated by a wealthy older woman, could mean skipping forty years of hard work.

Miss Pei was young, wealthy, beautiful, and had a good temper.

A charming and stunning rich woman.

She was surely top-tier among rich women, the prime choice!

Of course, young men and women were often similar. Girls wanted to find well-off partners to rely on.

Taking a shortcut to success and saving thirty years of struggle.

Young men were the same!

They all grew up reading Grimm's Fairy Tales, who didn't have a Cinderella dream?

Moreover, it wasn't shameful for ordinary young men to work hard to earn money.

In this world, it was shameful not to have money.

A girl who could share hardships with you might not share them with others.

But... she would definitely be willing to enjoy life with others.

As the saying goes, you can endure anything but hardship.

While the security guard silently vowed to get a short haircut and try to catch Miss Pei's eye next time, Qin Shang and Miss Pei had already arrived at the Xiangya Linshu parking lot.
