Perfect Secret Love: The Bad New Wife is a Little Sweet

“Tch.” Big Dipper pursed his lips. “Sis Feng, that’s what I was actually thinking. I just didn’t say it fast enough.”

Ye Wanwan turned to Big Dipper and expressionlessly said, “I know, you’re the best.”

Big Dipper nodded vehemently. “Sis Feng, you understand me, as expected!”

Ye Wanwan wasn’t in the mood to tease Big Dipper and sighed inwardly. The Fearless Alliance was a truly churning muddy pit. Perhaps she had to wait until her Rose of Death was strong enough to crawl out of this muddy pit.

…

The Rose of Death’s headquarters was established in a manor, and the manor was bought at half price under Old Jiang’s coercion and threats as a member of the Fearless Alliance.

All the recruited experts were arranged to reside within the manor.

The manor’s surroundings were currently desolate.

The silence was soon disturbed by the arrival of a young man dressed as a Taoist devotee with an enigmatic smile on his face.

“Heavenly Venerate Immeasurable… Is there anyone home?” the Taoist devotee shouted at the manor.

“Is there anyone home? Come out quickly!” After calling for more than half a minute without any response, the Daoist priest’s expression turned impatient.

“Who is it?!” A moment later, an elderly man in black came out from the manor.

This elderly man’s name was Jiang Cheng. He was a top-notch expert who was from the first batch of recruits for the Rose of Death.

“Heavenly Venerate Immeasurable… I just wanted to ask—is this the Rose of Death’s headquarters?” The Taoist devotee was grinning.

Jiang Cheng was startled briefly, and his brows furrowed. “How did you know?”

“A friend referred me…” the Taoist devotee replied.

“Oh?” Jiang Cheng was pensive.

The Rose of Death had recruited quite a few experts lately, so a referral from a friend was plausible.

“Little brother, it won’t be that easy if you want to join the Rose of Death… We have to examine your martial arts skills to determine whether you’re qualified to join the Rose of Death,” Jiang Cheng said.

The Taoist devotee looked thoughtful upon hearing that and nodded after a moment. “It’s nothing, it’s nothing… I was just casually asking. Confirming that this place is the Rose of Death’s headquarters is enough.”

After saying that, the Taoist devotee turned to leave.

However, Jiang Cheng’s face darkened abruptly.

This Taoist devotee’s behavior was extremely odd. There was no way he was referred by a friend! He simply came to confirm the location of the Rose of Death’s headquarters!

Although Jiang Cheng didn’t know this Taoist devotee’s intentions, he wouldn’t allow him to leave until he figured it out.

“B*stard, you have the nerve to scout around for information on the Rose of Death?!”

Jiang Cheng became furious and disappeared from his spot. A breath later, he appeared next to the Taoist devotee.

Jiang Cheng grabbed the Taoist devotee’s shoulders. “Unless you explain yourself, I’m afraid… you won’t leave alive today!”

“Heavenly Venerate Immeasurable, old mister, don’t have such a fiery temper. It’s bad for your health.”The Taoist devotee’s figure shifted minutely as he said that.

Astonishment flickered through Jiang Cheng’s eyes. This Taoist devotee’s martial skills were… unfathomable. He managed to shake Jiang Cheng off with his body alone…

Jiang Cheng wanted to call for some backup, but the Taoist devotee was extremely fast and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

At the Nie residence:

After Taoist Devotee entered the residence, he headed straight for the main hall.
