Chapter 13: Flight Project
"Besides, we are just going to take a look, not to do anything bad. Daddy won't blame us too much even if he knows."

"But, Lord City Lord..." Xiaohuan wanted to persuade her further, but was interrupted by Su Qingying's wave of hand.

"Okay, Xiaohuan, I really want to go and take a look. I heard that there are many new and interesting things in the Fan Building, and the beautiful music has spread all over Tianhuang City. I have never seen it in my life!"

Su Qingying took Xiaohuan's hand and spoke coquettishly, her voice as sweet as honey, making it impossible to refuse.

"But, this..."

Xiao Huan frowned, still a little hesitant. "If the city lord finds out, we'll be in trouble."

"Oh, don't worry about it. We can just sneak out. As long as we are careful, Daddy won't find out."

Su Qingying took her hand and said coquettishly: "Good Xiaohuan, just promise me, I promise, just this once, okay?"

Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, Xiaohuan had no choice but to agree, but her heart was in turmoil.

So, Su Qingying changed into men's clothes and wore a black hat on her head to cover her long, shiny black hair. With her delicate facial features and beautiful eyebrows, she looked like a handsome young man.

"Miss, you look like a handsome young man!" Xiaohuan couldn't help but admire Su Qingying as she looked at her.

Hearing this, Su Qingying raised her eyebrows proudly and said, "Of course, don't you see who I am, ha."

In this way, the two of them sneaked out from the back door of the City Lord's Mansion and went straight to Fanlou outside the South City Gate.

Along the way, Su Qingying was extremely excited, chattering with Xiaohuan, as if she was a bird just out of a cage, eager to see all the scenery along the way.

"Xiao Huan, do you think this Fanlou is really as magical as the rumors say?" Su Qingying asked.

"Miss, I don't know about this. I have never been here." Xiaohuan said helplessly.

"Humph, when we get to Fanlou later, we must take a good look and see what strange and bizarre things there are!"

Su Qingying waved her little fist, her face full of anticipation.

Soon, the two arrived at the door of Fanlou.

Fanlou stands majestically outside the South City Gate. The 16-story building is magnificent, like a giant tower reaching into the sky. The outer walls of each floor are inlaid with fist-sized luminous pearls, which emit soft light and illuminate the entire Fanlou with brilliance and magnificence.

Su Qingying stood downstairs, tilted her neck, and exclaimed: "Wow, this Fan Building is really magnificent, it seems to be more magnificent than our City Lord's Mansion."

Xiao Huan looked around nervously and reminded in a low voice: "Miss, please keep your voice down. Don't let anyone recognize us with the way we are dressed."

"What are you afraid of?"

Su Qingying waved her hand nonchalantly, "I'm going to let myself go today. Let's go in and take a look!"

As soon as you step into Fanlou, the noise and the tempting aroma of food hit you in the face, blending wonderfully with the melodious sound of the piano.

The sound of the piano is sometimes high-pitched and passionate, sometimes low and gentle, as if it can strike directly into the depths of one's soul, making people unable to help but indulge in it.

Su Qingying narrowed her eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and said with satisfaction: "Wow, this Fanlou is really as good as its reputation. Before I even go upstairs, my ears and nose are already enjoying it."

In addition to the piano music, the noisy voices and the aroma of food also came to Su Qingying's face, making her gluttonous. The lobby on the first floor of Fan Building was crowded with people, and it was even more crowded than the morning market in Tianhuang City.

Looking around, there were rich kids in gorgeous clothes, poor kids in coarse linen clothes, and all kinds of guests were attracted by the new things in Fanlou.

Shen Qiu didn’t set the price of the food on the first floor too high. He wanted to build up his reputation first so that he could earn more later.

At this time, more than a dozen maids with veiled faces, with extraordinary skills, gracefully and skillfully grasped the red silk ribbon in one hand and held the exquisite copper long-spouted teapot in the other hand, and floated down from the height of the building, landing at the guests' table and pouring a cup of fragrant tea for each guest.

"Wow, young... young master, look quickly." Xiaohuan quickly changed her words and pointed at the maids who had their faces covered.

Su Qingying looked in the direction she was looking and saw that after one of the maids with her face covered had served tea, at the request of a guest, she gently put down the copper teapot with a long spout in her hand, then used her true Qi to grab the guest's arm, and with her other hand, she grabbed the red ribbon and took the guest into the air, flying around in the air in the building.

"Hahaha...exciting!" the guest laughed.

“There’s actually a show about taking people flying?”

Su Qingying was so excited that she grabbed Xiaohuan's hand and said excitedly, "Xiaohuan, let's try it too?"

Xiao Huan was startled and waved her hands quickly, saying, "Master, this...how can we do this? If someone finds out that we are...it will be terrible!"

"What are you afraid of? We are wearing men's clothes. Who can recognize us?"

As Su Qingying spoke, she pulled Xiaohuan towards a maid with her face covered who had just served tea.

The two walked towards a maid with her face covered who had just escorted a guest to the ground. Su Qingying took out a silver ingot and stuffed it into her hand, smiling and saying, "Miss, we also want to experience the feeling of high-altitude flying, is that ok?"

The maid with her face covered looked at the silver in her hand, her eyes suddenly lit up, her face was full of smiles, and she said, "Of course, sir, please come this way."

So, with the help of two maids, Su Qingying and Xiaohuan firmly grasped each other's hands, and slowly rose into the air with the guidance of the maids' true energy.

"Wow, sir, we are flying." Xiaohuan grabbed the hand of one of the maids tightly and shouted excitedly.

Su Qingying also had an excited look on her face. She looked down at the crowd below which was getting smaller and smaller. She felt relaxed and happy, as if the whole world was at her feet.

“Hahahaha…fly, fly!”

The maid took them and circled over the building for a few times, causing the two women to exclaim in surprise.

Su Qingying couldn't remember how long it had been since she was as happy as today.

After landing, Su Qingying gave the two maids another ingot of silver and said, "Thank you very much, ladies. Your service at Fanlou is really thoughtful. I am very satisfied."

The two maids took the silver with a smile and said, "Thank you for your compliment, our aim at Fanlou is to satisfy our guests. If you need anything else, please let me know."

Hearing this, Su Qingying nodded.

"Oh, I wonder if you two gentlemen would like to have a meal, or go upstairs to drink and listen to music?"

A sharp-eyed maid saw Su Qingying and Xiaohuan staying where they were, so she stepped forward and greeted them.
