I just want to repair a flute [Martial Arts]

The reward Yun Chuxiu wanted was very simple: "I want you two to find someone for me."

"Who?"

"This man's name is Hu Ju, and he's my friend. He went to seek revenge on his enemies a few days ago, but he has not been heard from since then. If I hadn't been looking for him, I wouldn't have returned to Central Plains at this time." Yun Chuxiu's tone was quite angry - he actually just wanted to repair a flute, and looking for someone was a completely unexpected development, but if he could just leave without caring about it, then would he still have to sit here in fear?
"What are the characteristics of this person?" Lu Xiaofeng asked him. Yun Chuxiu took out a portrait from his sleeve and handed it to him: "He is a Persian. His appearance is very different from that of the people in the Central Plains. What's more, he can't speak the Central Plains dialect very well, so he should be very conspicuous. This time he came to the Central Plains to find an enemy who is a Taoist priest named Li Zixi. I have never seen him, but I heard that one of his eyes is black and the other is white. He is a demon Taoist who can perform magic!"

He sighed, a look of disappointment on his face: "There has been no news for so long, I have probably guessed the result... If you really can't find this person, please tell me the whereabouts of Li Zixi."

Lu Xiaofeng looked at the bearded foreign man in the portrait and raised his eyebrows: "It seems that if he unfortunately died, Miss Yun wanted to take revenge herself."

"Once you are in the martial arts world, you can never escape this disaster. After all, I am his friend. If anything happens to him, I will take revenge on him personally." Yun Chuxiu said firmly. After getting assurances from both Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou, he said goodbye and left with satisfaction.

——Then he met Yuan Suiyun, who was standing under the flower tree at the gate of the courtyard as if nothing had happened.

"Mr. Yuan, eavesdropping from behind is not what a gentleman does." Although Yun Chuxiu did not sense his presence at all in the yard, he did not expect to hide it from him, so he behaved very calmly.

Yuan Suiyun became calmer. He reached out and plucked a fallen white flower from Yun Chuxiu's hair and put it on his temple. "I originally wanted to talk to Mr. Hua and Mr. Lu about the eye exchange, but you came here first... I was afraid of disturbing you, so I stood here to listen."

In fact, he deliberately stood so close to Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng so that they could easily spot him, which was already a sign of courtesy. Otherwise, with his extraordinary hearing, he could have heard their conversation clearly from a farther distance.

"You make sense. Then... I'll go back to my room first." Yun Chuxiu couldn't argue with him anyway, so he naturally didn't want to say more to him, but before he could leave, Yuan Suiyun grabbed his wrist.

Yun Chuxiu: "..."

Yun Chuxiu was helpless: "What do you want to do now?"

"You want to find someone, why don't you tell me first, but tell them first?" Yuan Suiyun asked gently, his fingers gently stroking his suddenly accelerated pulse. "Wu Zheng Villa, although it is not as good as before, there are always the necessary connections. If you want to find someone, it is much better to find me than to find Lu Xiaofeng."

Yun Chuxiu gave him a look that was hard to describe: "Young Master Yuan, it's too ugly for a grown man like you to be jealous in a place like this!"

He pulled his hand back, crossed his arms, and said frankly, "The deal between you and me ended when we last met. If I look for you again this time, it will become that I owe you a favor, and I don't want that."

Yuan Suiyun smiled: "Are you afraid that you can't repay my favor? In fact, although the last matter was a transaction, I owed you. You can ask me for more in return!"

"Hehe." Yun Chuxiu complained: "I'm afraid that once I ask for your help, it will be your turn to ask me for compensation! It's better not to rely on luck. After all, I can't afford everything." For example, his chastity... God have mercy on him, although he likes to pretend to be a little girl to deceive people, he really doesn't like men!

Upon hearing this, Yuan Suiyun's face immediately revealed a very innocent expression: "It seems that you really have a lot of misunderstandings about me. But it doesn't matter..."

As he said that, he suddenly leaned over and blew a breath into Yun Chuxiu's ear very quickly: "We... have a long way to go." After that, he easily let go of his hand and walked away briskly. Yun Chuxiu subconsciously raised his hand to cover his ears, feeling a heat spreading from the top of his head to his neck. "What a monster!" He cursed inwardly, but he really didn't have the courage to go back to the yard to ask the two people if they heard the noise outside, so he returned to the room as if escaping.

However, even so, in the next few days, he always felt that Lu Xiaofeng looked at him and Yuan Suiyun in a rather strange way. It seemed that even a playboy who had seen the world could not suppress his gossipy nature.

He didn't know what Yuan Suiyun was planning, so he secretly made up his mind to leave the Hua family as soon as Hua Manlou's eyes were cured. However, on the very night after he replaced Hua Manlou's eyes, Yuan Suiyun said goodbye to Hua Ruling at the dinner table.

"Did something happen to your father?" the old man asked nervously. Yuan Suiyun bowed to him and said with a smile, "No. It's my fault for making uncle worry. I just received a letter from my father, saying that since I have arrived in Jiangnan and it is at this time, I should go to the Sun family to celebrate the old man's birthday."

"Ah..." Hearing what he said, Hua Ruling couldn't help but be moved. "Yes, in half a month, it will be the old man's birthday. I wanted to remind you, but I was afraid that you would have to rush back to Guanzhong in the near future and delay your trip... Brother Dongyuan is always so thoughtful, which makes me feel inferior."

He pointed at his two sons sitting beside him and said with a smile, "In a few days, the third and fifth sons will go to the Sun family for me. How about you wait for two more days and go with them? You can also take care of these two useless guys for me, nephew, what do you think?"

He said this because he considered that Yuan Suiyun had rarely come to Jiangnan in the past. Besides, even if he had been there before, what would it matter? The Sun family was a completely unfamiliar place to him, but the young masters of the Hua family were familiar with the place and could take care of him to avoid any accidents.

Yuan Suiyun knew what he was thinking, and couldn't help but joked, "If the famous third and fifth brothers in Jiangnan are not successful, then I am just a child. I also want to tell my uncle about this first, and I don't mean to leave immediately, because... I still want to wait for Miss Yun to go with me."

While they were talking, Yun Chuxiu ate his meal in silence. He had been busy for most of the day, and as soon as he entered the flower hall, he salivated at the table of delicious food. He asked the maid next to him to scoop him a bowl of stewed pig's trotters. Before he could take a bite, the topic shifted to himself. He looked up in confusion: "Hmm?"

Seeing his look, Yuan Suiyun's eyes flashed with a smile, and his tone couldn't help but softened: "Don't you want to find someone? In Jiangnan, there is no one that this old man can't find. This time when I go to celebrate the birthday, I will ask this old man to help you find your friend, so... do you want to go to the Sun family with us?"

Yun Chuxiu: "..."

Yun Chuxiu: "..."

Yun Chuxiu thought to himself, how could I refuse? That would be too tactless. Moreover, although he didn't tell the truth, the matter of finding someone was true! So after thinking about it, he still nodded reluctantly: "Okay, then I'll trouble you."

But he still couldn't help asking, "The old man you are talking about... is he your uncle, the former young master?"

"If we talk about seniority, he is the same as Uncle Hua, I should call him uncle." Yuan Suiyun said with a smile. He is the only son of the old owner of the manor who was born when he was over 50 years old. Although he is still very young, his seniority is not as shown by his appearance. "It's just that he prefers others to call him uncle, because this title makes him feel very intimate and comfortable."

"...Sounds like a weirdo." Yun Chuxiu commented casually. Yuan Suiyun shook his head and told him meaningfully: "When you meet him, you will understand."
