For the next month, the boy sat on the street where he had begged for food that day, but he never saw the girl again.
Until one day, a hand veiled in black was extended in front of him.
"Come with me." A smiling voice came from behind the black veil and conical hat.
He heard the man mutter, "She stole money from her own home for a kid like this?" The man was taken aback when he met the boy's alluring yet sinister green eyes.
This little girl does have some good taste.
"Hey kid, wanna come somewhere with me?"
"Where?" the boy asked, looking up.
"A place where you can kill without taking responsibility, a place where you can control your own destiny. That place is called Jianghu (江湖, the martial arts world)."
The boy lowered his head and remained silent. Those bright eyes and twin buns reappeared in his mind.
“Okay, I’ll go with you.” Her green eyes were full of clarity.
Fifteen years later.
Two people, a man and a woman, dressed in green , stood side by side at the entrance of Zuimo Tower, the largest brothel in the capital. The man was handsome and aloof, while the woman was clever and charming, yet both exuded an air of wickedness.
"Brother, is this the brothel you sold to me back then?" Mr. Yin asked excitedly.
Yin Bitong remained silent, appearing extremely enigmatic.
He thought, this brothel probably hadn't even opened fifteen years ago.
Then he saw a gray figure crouching in a corner, a creature that people usually call a "beggar".
People come and go, but it seems that only the beggar in front of the door remains unchanged.
He walked over, squatted down in front of the beggar, and said lazily:
“I told you, you won’t make any money doing it this way.”
