Tie Xiaosheng drank and chatted with Chu Xisheng until the ferry docked on the West Bank. Only then did he take his leave.
After the battle at Ancient Market Town, he had countless matters to attend to and had carved time out of his busy schedule to meet Chu Xisheng. Thus, he hurried away, vanishing from sight in moments.
After disembarking, Chu Yunyun took advantage of Lu Luanli's inattention to tell Chu Xisheng quietly, "Find a chance later to ask Lu Luanli whether she has a formula for Corpse-Dissolving Water, and whether she can copy it out for us."
Chu Xisheng looked puzzled. "What do you want a formula for Corpse-Dissolving Water for?"
Chu Yunyun sneered, a glint of ruthlessness flashing through her ice-blue eyes. "Don't ask yet. Get the formula first."
The Inner City Long Clan had struck at Chu Xisheng time and time again. She could no longer tolerate it.
Patience would not solve the problem, either.
Only by dealing the Inner City Long Clan a crushing blow, leaving them unable to contend with the Iron Banner Gang, could she keep them too occupied to trouble the siblings.
Chu Yunyun's only concern was that the distinctive signs of her attacks would be too obvious and draw certain people's attention.
If she had potent Corpse-Dissolving Water to dissolve the bodies completely, she would not have to fear anyone recognizing the traces.
Unfortunately, she had once been the illustrious Marquis of Weiyuan, the Great General Who Pacifies the North, commanding a million troops on the battlefield. She had never dealt with such tools of the martial underworld.
Something seemed to occur to Chu Xisheng. His expression shifted slightly, and he immediately turned to ask Lu Luanli.
Lu Luanli was puzzled as well. What did Chu Xisheng want Corpse-Dissolving Water for?
