C16 Yue xuan he

Only after a long while did Xianyu Zhi regain his senses, and thoughtfully kept the silver needles properly, looking around to make sure that there was no longer anyone following him, before exiting the garden and returning to the courtyard the little monk had prepared.

Outside the door, there were only two maidservant s waiting. The rest of the people should have gone back to the Prime Minister's Mansion with the coachman and servant.

After all, he had said he was training in seclusion, so it wouldn't be appropriate for him to bring so many people with him.

With so many people around, it was just as well that Xianyu Zhi had his own way of thinking. He did not ask any further, and directly pushed open the door.

The room was not small, and the furnishings inside were simple and clean. A few carved windows reflected the darkness outside the window, giving off a unique feeling.

Everything in the room had already been tidied up, and there was already a light in the corner of his hand.

Xianyu Zhi first scanned his surroundings to familiarize himself with the environment, and then fell into deep thought while looking at the cluster of flames. Just who was commanding the man in black in the evening, and for what reason, no matter how he thought about it, only Xianyu Qi could do it, it couldn't possibly be her.

Suddenly, a thought flashed in Xianyu Zhi's mind, and Rong Qian's face appeared in front of him.

That must be him.

The man must have been suspicious about the rooftop incident, which was why he had sent someone to investigate him.

After clarifying the situation, Xianyu Zhi reckoned that the man in black would not be coming back for a while, so after sitting for a while, he went to sleep.

The night went by without incident. Instead, it was the chirping of the cicadas in the forest in front of the house.

When the sun rose, Xianyu Zhi was already drenched in sweat. She went back to her room to change into a simple set of clothes, carried her backpack, and left without a break.

Wearing a simple shirt made Xianyu Zhi's skin look creamy, causing people to look back repeatedly when they stepped out of the door.

The closest street from the temple was Vermillion Bird Street, which was two miles away. There were many carriages parked at the entrance of the temple, so it took Xianyu Zhi only a moment to reach there.

Before Xianyu Zhi came, he had heard that not only was Vermillion Bird Street filled with shops, more importantly, there were black markets even during the day. There were all kinds of ingredients for bewitching drugs, which was why Xianyu Zhi chose this place.

She did not go out of her room for a long time, and the feeling of freedom she felt made Xianyu Zhi feel good.

When everything was ready, Xianyu Zhi wiped the sweat off his forehead. Seeing that the sun was still high in the sky, he knew that he would not be able to make it back in time for the lunch in the temple.

In the modern world, it was more like a chain of hotels. Xianyu Zhi carried his luggage and walked in, and was immediately welcomed by a waiter.

Xianyu Zhi looked around, it was noisy and bustling with noise and activity, the fences and stairs were all carved with fine vermillion wood, with one glance, it was the gathering place for the children from wealthy families.

"A private room by the window." Xianyu Zhi took out a silver ingot.

"Alright, come with me." The waiter was extremely enthusiastic and chatted non-stop the entire time he led Xianyu Zhi to his room.

When they reached the second floor, Xianyu Zhi suddenly saw a dark red figure walking in from the first floor. The group of maidservant s were like stars surrounding the moon, it was hard not to attract attention.

Xianyu Zhi stopped in his tracks and looked down.

The waiter also stopped and looked towards Xianyu Zhi's direction, and smiled: "That's our State Advisor, according to rumors, not only has he learnt martial arts at a young age, his heroic spirit is extraordinary, and will attract the attention of young ladies."

"That's interesting." Xianyu Zhi paused, then called out to the waiter: "I'm not going to the private room, I'll eat downstairs."

State Advisor was also a woman ? She was immediately interested.

Before the waiter could even react, she had already gone downstairs to find a corner and casually sat down.

"In my opinion, this State Advisor and this sixth prince are a match made in heaven. The daughter of the Prime Minister has nothing but good skin." After that was a series of shocked exclamations.

Xianyu Zhi did not turn back as he sat on his seat and quietly drank his wine.

"A good leather bag is not bad either. Who knows, this sixth prince might be the best." The other person was obviously unwilling to accept this and snorted disdainfully.

"What do you know!"

After that, the discussion between the two got quieter and quieter. Although he couldn't hear what they were saying, he could roughly guess the wretched expressions on their faces.

Xianyu Zhi tilted his head slightly and shot a cold glance over.

As an independent woman in the 21st century, how could she be criticized by those wretched rich kids?

Just then, a waiter was bringing food over a tray, passing by Xianyu Zhi's side. The light in her eyes moved as the corner of her mouth curled into a sneer.

"Hey!" The waiter felt a sharp pain on the back of his knees before his legs went limp. The dishes on the tray were all thrown out.

"How do you do that!" The two men in embroidered clothing, who had been talking to each other earlier, were splashed with wine and food by the waiter. They immediately jumped to their feet and shouted.

Xianyu Zhi listened on the movements behind him, and while others were not paying attention, his finger lightly moved, causing the man who was shouting to suddenly hold his chest and laugh out loud.

The waiter didn't know what was going on, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

In an instant, everyone's gazes turned towards him.

After venting his anger, Xianyu Zhi no longer had the mood to eat, he picked up his bag and prepared to leave.

It just so happened that Yue Xuan was walking out of a private room on the first floor. Her red waist-length dress was both feminine and heroic. Her red lips were like fire, her eyebrows were high, and the jade sword embedded at her waist was very eye-catching.

The two of them faced each other.

Xianyu Zhi only glanced at them indifferently, before he prepared to leave.

She was not interested in this woman in front of her, but Yue Xuan He did not think the same way. She knew Xianyu Zhi, and knew that this woman was about to marry sixth prince ? ? the man who had captivated her day and night.

As the pedestrians bustled, Yue Xuan instructed his maidservant as he turned his head. The maidservant nodded and walked towards Xianyu Zhi.

Xianyu Zhi watched everything silently as she slowed down her pace. She wanted to see what kind of tricks Yue Xuan was playing.

As the maidservant got closer, Xianyu Zhi acted as if he did not know anything. When the two of them brushed shoulders, the maidservant quickly extended a leg out to block Xianyu Zhi's foot. Xianyu Zhi smiled, and changed his foot from walking to stepping on the ground.

Yue Xuan and he had only wanted to embarrass her, but he did not expect her to have such a sharp reaction. Yue Xuan was a little surprised, was this the Xianyu Zhi who was rumored to be weak?

It was said that martial artists were vigorous, so naturally Yue Xuan was no exception as she blocked Xianyu Zhi's path with a few large strides.

Xianyu Zhi raised his eyebrows, "What is it?"

"I think you have some skills. How about this, this State Advisor has nothing better to do recently, how about the two of us have a spar?" Yue Xuan didn't bother to hide anything as she spoke bluntly.

Xianyu Zhi thought about the medicinal ingredients on her back and wanted to reject them, but then, she suddenly remembered the words of the restaurant guest just now. She met Yue Xuan's eyes and mysteriously said, "Sure."
