242 Stupefied

Liu Qin discovered Chu Wuyou fidgeting with the fruit knife when she came closer.

This caught her by surprise. Although fidgeting with a fruit knife was not that big of a deal, she found out that the other woman's knife fidgeting skills were near professional. 

"Chu Wuyou, I've come here as you instructed. Can you finally tell me what's going on?" Liu Qin exhaled deeply. She felt a numbing sensation on her scalp as the knife danced swiftly between Chu Wuyou's fingers.

"Do you know what this is?" Chu Wuyou clasped her fingers around the knife and waved it in front of the other woman.

"A fruit knife." Liu Qin rolled her eyes as she answered. Perhaps only someone as stupid as Chu Wuyou would ask this idiotic question.

"Do you know what it's used for?" The corners of Chu Wuyou's lips twitched slightly as the words rolled gently off her tongue.

"To pare fruits, of course." Liu Qin had evidently gotten impatient.
