I Can See Your Combat Power

Chapter 1039: Chapter 333: Misunderstanding Chapter 1039: Chapter 333: Misunderstanding Typically, the ones who can truly hurt you are not those obviously visible enemies. That’s because, against such people, normal folks always have their guard up. But when it comes to friends who hover at their side, people tend not to be so cautious, just like Xu Qingyue could never have imagined that her kind big sister would abscond with the money. In her view, it was the utmost folly, akin to throwing away a watermelon to pick up sesame seeds.

Even after being “escorted” out of the private room by the restaurant, Xu Qingyue still couldn’t believe that the “kind” big sister was actually a fraudster.

Feeling indignant, she took her sword and went to find that embroideress, Luo Jinxiu, wanting to demand where her big sister had gone and confront her face to face.

But upon hearing Xu Qingyue’s story, the embroideress exclaimed in surprise, “How would I know the whereabouts of an agent whom I’ve never met before?”

“Aren’t you Wang Sao’s relative? How can you have never met her!?” Xu Qingyue asked insistently, with a raised eyebrow.

The embroideress, smiling with pursed lips, said, “Young miss should go and inquire around Chaochang City. These agents who roam the streets, there are not one thousand, there are eight thousand of them. They usually deal in selling rouge, face powder, and also introduce singing boys, dancing girls, and concubines to affluent households; they also recommend workers to fabric stores and rouge shops. To gain clients’ trust, agents always claim to introduce their own relatives, but such claims can’t be taken seriously.”
