Chapter 288: Inspiring Ling Nuo

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Seeing that the men had no intention of going forward, the brothel keeper knew that she couldn’t really spend money to make these people work for her.

The few people in front of her were obviously not easy to deal with. They probably had something to do with the trouble her master had encountered previously.

Since that was the case…

The brothel keeper’s gaze shifted to Ling Nuo.

Ling Nuo was still watching with relish when he suddenly felt someone staring at him. Only then did he turn around warily.

The brothel keeper blinked at Ling Nuo before asking, “I’ve treated you well these past few days, right?”

The corners of Ling Nuo’s mouth twitched, but he didn’t respond.

When the brothel keeper didn’t hear any response, she continued, “This place was painstakingly built by my masters. As their trusted aide, shouldn’t you help?”

Hearing the brothel keeper’s flattery, Ling Nuo knew that the brothel keeper wanted him to do hard labor and he revealed a disdainful expression again.

He didn’t listen to everyone!

Moreover, his real master was waiting inside. It wasn’t his place to make the decision!

Seeing that Ling Nuo was still smiling, as if he really had no intention of helping, the brothel keeper couldn’t hold it in anymore.

She tried her best to lower her voice and threatened Ling Nuo, “Ling Nuo, master asked you to keep an eye on this place! If it’s really destroyed by these people, we won’t be able to explain ourselves!”

The brothel keeper’s threatening words didn’t seem to affect Ling Nuo. He calmly adjusted the buttons on his shirt, as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him.

The brothel keeper gritted her teeth.

This fellow acted completely different from when his master was around!

From the looks of it, he was just a hypocrite!

Although he said that, those burly men were clearly useless, and how long could those thin servants last?

Right now, she had to think of a way to make these people leave as soon as possible!

The brothel keeper’s mind raced, but she couldn’t think of a good solution.

At this moment, the man with the steel saber raised the steel saber in his hand and provoked the other burly men with contempt, “Who else wants to die under my steel saber?!”

As soon as the man said this, the burly men immediately roared.

However, although they were angry, they knew that they were not the man’s match. No one was impulsive enough to challenge him.

The man smiled disdainfully. “What a bunch of cowards!”

With that, the man waved the steel knife in his hand and cut a table beside the brothel keeper into two.

The brothel keeper screamed and hugged Ling Nuo’s arm in fear.

Her nails were long and dug a few bloody marks on Ling Nuo’s arm.

Ling Nuo was in pain, but he gritted his teeth and didn’t cry out.

He shook off the brothel keeper’s hand angrily and snorted. “How useless!”

The brothel keeper didn’t have the time to mind Ling Nuo’s words. She continued staring at the steel knife in the man’s hand with lingering fear.

When the man was competing with the burly man just now, they were still a distance away from her, so she wasn’t as frightened as now.

Before the brothel keeper could recover, the man became even more aggressive because of the brothel keeper’s reaction.

He swung his saber again and slashed at the table and chairs on Ling Nuo’s side.

As the steel knife swung down, the blade wind brushed past Ling Nuo’s side. It was about to split the table and chair into two.

Suddenly, the table and chairs actually moved away and avoided the attack.

The blade left a deep slash on the ground.

Everyone looked at the table that had suddenly shifted in surprise, then they heard Ling Nuo heave a sigh of relief.

Everyone saw Ling Nuo pat his chest with one hand. Then, he sighed again and said, “Miss instructed me to leave this set of tables and chairs for the guests. If you break it, I’ll be scolded!”

When he heard Ling Nuo’s irrelevant words, the man’s expression turned ugly.

Without hesitation, he turned the steel knife in his hand and slashed it at Ling Nuo.

Ling Nuo clicked her tongue impatiently. Then, she grabbed the brothel keeper’s arm and spun her around before pushing her to the group of burly men.. “Don’t stand here and get in the way!”
