As for Lin Xueyi, while listening to the music, she carefully observed the simple and unadorned room, which was indeed like a white lotus, without a trace of luxury.
I once read in a book that a mountain is not famous because of its height, but because of the immortals who dwell there; water is not sacred because of its depth, but because of the dragons that inhabit it. Under the accompaniment of this girl's zither music, this simple room gives people an indescribable sense of nobility.
Her fingertips danced gracefully, then abruptly stopped. The music was enchanting, fading into silence. Ye Qin'er remained lost in the beautiful melody, unable to tear herself away, while the woman's gaze fell upon Lin Xueyi opposite her.
"My name is Lin Wei'er, and I greet Master Lin."
"Huh? How did you figure that out?" Lin Xueyi looked at Lin Weier, who had introduced herself, in surprise. She hadn't done anything, had she? She had just looked around the room, so how could someone have figured it out?
The girl's surprised look made Lin Wei'er's lips curl up. However, in response to her question, Lin Wei'er replied, "When ordinary people listen to my Tranquility Melody, they will unconsciously become immersed in it. Only those with extremely profound cultivation can maintain their composure. And who else but Master Lin could be someone of such age with such cultivation?"
"Ah, haha, I see."
Lin Xueyi, who had just received a small compliment, still wore a happy smile. After all, any man would be happy to be praised by such a beautiful young lady, right?
"I wonder what brings Master Lin here."
Tilting her head, Lin Xueyi was confused. She really did come here to have fun, so why didn't the girl believe her?
"I was just bored tonight and thought I'd come here to take a look. That's all, no other intentions." He shrugged helplessly, indicating that he was telling the truth and wasn't lying.
Lin Wei'er stared at the adorable little girl for a moment before chuckling softly, "Sorry, sorry, I was overthinking it."
As they spoke, they gently placed the zither in front of them aside. The maids who had been outside the door came in. One took the zither away, while the other carried a large tray containing a purple clay teapot and a small stove for heating.
“Master Lin is a distinguished guest here, so the tea must be of the highest quality. Xiao Yu, go and fetch the half ounce of Tranquilizing Tea that I bought before the New Year.”
Judging from its appearance, this Tranquilizing Tea seems to be very valuable. Lin Xueyi was surprised, but then she heard Ye Qin'er, who was beside her, regain her senses and explain it to her.
"The Tranquil Tea is grown and processed by the nuns of the Tranquil Zen Temple on Mount Qingliang in Zhongzhou. It is said that because they hear the chanting of sutras in the temple every day, the tea has a calming and tranquilizing effect, hence the name Tranquil Tea."
Watching the girl called Xiaoyu walk over carrying a wooden tray with a small box quietly placed inside, I guessed that it contained the calming tea that Lin Weier had mentioned.
“What this young lady said is correct. Moreover, because Jingxin Temple is not very big, the tea garden’s output is not much. Every year, Jingxin tea is basically priceless and unavailable. I was able to buy it thanks to some patrons who came here.”
As they spoke, steam began to rise from the spout of the purple clay teapot sitting on the small stove. Lin Wei'er put on white gloves, gently opened the lid, and glanced at the water inside. Only then did she open the small box.
"This tea cannot be put directly into hot water, otherwise it will lose its original flavor, nor can it be put directly into cold water, as this will ruin the original taste of the tea. So it should be put in when it is neither too hot nor too cold, and the water cannot be ordinary water."
"It can't be ordinary water? Was this water specially sourced from somewhere?"
Lin Xueyi was a little confused. She didn't really know anything about tea, and she knew even less about tea in this world. She was completely baffled by what the other person was saying.
"Naturally, the water used is all dew, which Xiaoyu and the others collect from the flowers in the yard. They use the morning dew to brew this calming tea, so that its original flavor can be brought out."
Although she didn't quite understand, she thought it was amazing. Lin Xueyi stared in astonishment at the woman in front of her who was solemnly pouring and brewing tea. In her limited knowledge, wasn't tea just something you throw into boiling water, drink the bitterness, and then sway your head and pretend to be sophisticated? It wasn't much different from those so-called high-end or bourgeois coffees.
"Gloves made of ice silkworm silk. I never imagined that someone like you, living here, would possess such a treasure."
However, Ye Qin'er's focus was not on that, but on the pure white glove the other person was wearing, which seemed to be a very nice item.
"You mean this? This was given to me by a young master. I thought it was nice, so I took it. It's perfect for fireproofing and heat insulation, and it's very useful when brewing tea."
The tea was quickly prepared, and a steaming cup of tea was placed in front of Lin Xueyi. Seeing the expectant look in her eyes, Lin Xueyi gently took a sip.
It tastes slightly bitter, but after passing on the tip of the tongue, a delicate fragrance gradually spreads in the mouth, and a subtle feeling makes people's hearts unconsciously calm down.
Chapter 125: Unaware that he had arrived at a place he shouldn't have been.
While Lin Xueyi and Lin Weier sat together, brewing tea and discussing philosophy, chatting happily, some people were anything but happy. Standing in their own rooms, they looked at the woman sitting in her original chair, her face full of anger.
"Xueyan, are you really crazy? Do you think you can let that little girl come here? If the Valley Master finds out, do you know what will happen to you?"
After receiving the report from her subordinates, Feng San Niang rushed here as fast as she could, but she still caused a mess. This Jin Xueyan actually dared to let Lin Xueyi into the backyard. What kind of place is that? Doesn't she know?
Especially since he's with that woman, Bai Lian. Doesn't he know what kind of person she is? Doesn't he have any self-awareness? If the Valley Master finds out, not only Bai Lian, but every single one of them will be wiped out.
“Guardian Feng, I really didn’t expect Miss Lin to come here. But guests are guests, and we can’t turn them away. It was precisely because I knew it was her that I put her in the backyard.”
The backyard is full of women who perform but do not sell their bodies, or rather, they are women specially trained by the Netherworld Ghost Valley to spy on others. Although their cultivation is not very high, they are all multi-talented and can keep Miss Lin from getting bored.
However, upon hearing this, Feng San Niang became even angrier. In the backyard, which of those women liked men? They had all been turned gay because of their previous closed training. In Miss Lin's words, they were like beautiful lilies.
Now look what's happened! They've thrown their own Valley Master's favorite girl into a lily patch. How can things possibly turn out well? Who knows what kind of trouble the Valley Master will cause when he finds out?
Especially since this is a hidden intelligence agency of the Netherworld Ghost Valley, could there be anything more despairing than this? Feng San Niang could already imagine the Valley Master's furious expression when he found out.
Her head hurt, it really hurt, no, it shouldn't be called her head anymore, it should be her skull hurting. How could she be so unlucky as to run into such a girl? Why didn't she go to a perfectly good place? Why did she have to come here? If she was going to come here, why didn't she just look around from the outside? Why did she have to pick up a woman? She doesn't even have that kind of function, what can she do with that? She can't even get close enough to penetrate. Wouldn't it be better to just stay and play intimately with their valley master? Doesn't she want to?
But it's no use thinking about it now. Looking at her friend, Feng San Niang could only sigh helplessly, "You two figure out how to cover this up yourselves. I reckon the Valley Master will send someone over soon."
Jin Xueyan, the mother here, was not worried at all. "Let them send people. What's the big deal? If the Valley Master asks, I'll just tell her that in order to prevent Miss Lin from being seduced by men, I specially sent those blooming lilies to influence her. I also had someone use words to hint to her about the beauty of lilies, isn't that enough?"
Wow, that makes perfect sense. At least Feng San Niang was speechless, and even had a sudden realization that there was such a way to do things.
"Don't worry, you trust me to handle things. But it's been a long time since you've been here. Aren't you planning to stay here for the night?"
Just as Feng San Niang was about to speak, she heard a rapid knocking at the door. She could only say, "I'll come back late tonight. You go ahead and do your work," before disappearing through the window.
Watching her friend leave in a hurry, Jin Xueyan covered her forehead and shook her head, "Hurry, hurry, hurry, what's the rush? Are you in such a hurry to die?"
Don't assume that just because she's gentle in front of Feng San Niang and kind to Lin Xue Yi, she's easy to talk to. If she were in charge of such a large place as Bai Feng Ge, she really wouldn't be able to keep the place in check.
The young man, who was panting heavily, was already used to his boss's furious tone. After seeing her come out, he quickly explained what had happened.
The young head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) of Zhaoyuan镖局 (escort agency) arrived here with a group of people. He had said before that he wanted to search the entire backyard. This time it should be Bai Lian. However, Bai Lian had guests today, and the others also had their own regular customers inside. So the young head镖师 threw a tantrum outside.
Losing her temper? Ha, very well. She's not the first person to lose her temper in this Hundred Phoenix Pavilion. Those who lost their tempers before were all taught a lesson, which is why she was able to build such a powerful force in Luo Xie City.
Moreover, who is Bai Lian receiving now? She is the future wife of the Valley Master of Youming Ghost Valley. How dare a small Zhaoyuan Escort Agency be arrogant in front of her? Youming Ghost Valley has truly lost all face.
"Heh, your Hundred Phoenix Pavilion is quite something, daring to book even my people. What, do you look down on me? Quickly bring that blind fool out here. A piece of trash from out of town dares to compete with me for someone?"
"Hehe, Young Master Feng, please have a seat, please have a seat. Our boss will be here soon. Just ask her if you need anything."
The man from Baifeng Pavilion was trying to reason with the drunken Feng Linyang, hoping that the young master would stay calm for the time being.
However, some people thought differently. A newly arrived servant, seeing Feng Linyang's arrogance and knowing that Zhaoyuan Escort Agency was very powerful, ran to the backyard after arriving to find Lin Xueyi and the others, hoping to bring her out and quell Feng Linyang's anger.
In his view, the Zhaoyuan Escort Agency was not to be trifled with. If a customer could handle the matter, they shouldn't have to, since the boss would do the same anyway. Besides, even if he offended the boss, as long as he could curry favor with the young head of the Zhaoyuan Escort Agency, what did he have to worry about?
So, when Jin Xueyan arrived at the chaotic hall, before she could even catch her breath, she saw Lin Xueyi and her maid leisurely arriving as well. Her breath caught in her throat, and she felt a chill run down her spine.
"Who brought the guest out?"
Already filled with rage, upon seeing Lin Xueyi, his anger erupted completely, unable to be contained. The rage of a Xiantian expert is not something an ordinary person can tolerate.
Feng Linyang, who was still reeking of alcohol, only remembered that Jin Xueyan was also a Xiantian realm cultivator after seeing her enraged state. If he really offended her, even his own father couldn't protect him.
Thinking about this, Feng Linyang felt deep regret. He should have known better than to drink so much. He acted impulsively and caused such a big problem.
"Jin, hehe, Jin's mom, I drank too much this time, I drank too much, please don't blame me."
As he spoke, although his eyes were on Jin Xueyan, he also caught a glimpse of the out-of-town guest who had been dragged out to steal Bai Lian from him—a mere young master. Ha, very good. He would naturally have a chance to cause trouble for him in the future.
“Young Master Feng, you can come and go as you please here without anyone stopping you. But you came here to cause trouble, broke these things, frightened my guests, and even had my guests pulled out. You've put me in a very difficult position.”
Main text: Chapter 126 Trouble?
Feng Linyang regretted it deeply. He had paid a large sum of money for his childish behavior. Of course, he wouldn't hand it over immediately, because he wouldn't carry such a large sum of money with him at all times.
However, this required writing an IOU, and as he personally wrote his name on the IOU, tears streamed down his face. After handing the IOU to Jin Xueyan with both hands, he could only slink away, but Jin Xueyan had no intention of letting him off so easily.
"Young Master Feng, are you looking down on our Baifeng Pavilion? You pulled this guest out of there without offering any thanks. Do you really think the people of Baifeng Pavilion are easy to bully?"
Seeing Lin Xueyi being dragged out by this group of idiots, Jin Xueyan was almost scared out of her wits. Who was this? This was the future wife of the Valley Master of the Netherworld Ghost Valley. Was she just some useless young master who was being dragged out like that?
However, Feng Linyang had his own reasons: "This person was brought out by your servant, not by me. Why are you asking me for an explanation?"
You can't bully people like this. Feng Linyang said he absolutely could not bow down to this evil force. His money didn't grow on trees. Giving it to a stranger, especially with such an insulting tone, was unacceptable. Who was he? He was the young head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) of the Zhaoyuan镖局 (escort agency) in Luoxie City. He was a big shot in Luoxie City. How could he apologize to a country bumpkin from outside?
“Mother Jin, the compensation I gave to Baifeng Pavilion was out of respect for you, but this brat is not qualified to receive compensation from me, Feng. Do you understand? You are not qualified.”
He was speaking to Jin Xueyan earlier, but then he spoke directly to the little boy. However, the boy's mocking smile made him look down on him.
As for the others, after Jin Xueyan came out, they didn't dare to say another word. The Obsidian Gang, it's one thing for them to bully ordinary people, but even when they were following Feng Linyang, they knew who they could and couldn't offend.
"Young Master Feng, I've already given you a chance, but you're useless." Jin Xueyan glanced coldly at this ridiculous man. He had offended the worst person, yet he was still shouting here, oblivious to his own mortality. Did he really think that having a good father meant he could do whatever he wanted?
As for Lin Xueyi, upon hearing that someone was causing trouble because Lin Weier was with her, the feeling was just too... amazing. She used to be a homebody and had never encountered anything like this before. Now that she was a girl, she'd actually run into something like this. If she didn't go and check it out, she'd be doing herself a disservice.
As for Lin Weier, she was surprised and found it hard to understand why someone would come to cause trouble for Lin Xueyi. Although the other party was a young master, in front of a grandmaster, such a term was considered indecent.
Ye Qin'er was so angry that she was ready to beat up the man who dared to offend the grandmaster's authority, to teach him what it meant that the grandmaster's authority was inviolable.
Perhaps the only one who could remain calm was Lin Xueyi. Even the maids were furious when they learned that someone was going to cause trouble for the guests. Of course, this was not because of Lin Xueyi, but because this behavior had clearly affected the interests of Lin Weier and the others.
However, the servant who came here was fearless and even gave Lin Xueyi a nasty smile, as if he were looking at a dead person.
So Lin Weier naturally wouldn't let him off the hook, and had her maid accompany Lin Xueyi to the main hall to tell her "boss" everything that had happened.
"You mean, it was our people who called Lin Xueyi out?"
Jin Xueyan glanced coldly at Feng Linyang, and then, whispered by Bai Lian Lin Weier's maid, looked coldly at the male servant beside her.
Very well, I didn't expect there to be such a traitorous piece of trash in here. Today, it's time to let these newcomers know the rules of Baifeng Pavilion.
Ignoring Feng Linyang, she instead pointed at the lewd-looking man who had brought Lin Xueyi out.
"A few men, drag him away, chop him up, and feed him to the dogs. A traitor, he's just a waste of food to be alive."
When the maid whispered in the boss's ear, the man already had a bad feeling. Although he still harbored fantasies about the young master, reality quickly shattered those fantasies.
"Hmph, a piece of trash who betrays his own people, he really deserves to die."
The moment these words came out of Feng Linyang's mouth, the man instantly collapsed. He could no longer beg for mercy because Jin Xueyan was worried that the man's screams would disturb Lin Xueyi, so she directly used her qi to silence him. He could only struggle silently as the others pulled him away.
After dealing with her own people, Jin Xueyan turned to Feng Linyang again, "Although this person deserved to die, Young Master Feng, you came here today to cause trouble and said you wanted to drag out the guests that Bai Lian was entertaining. Is that true?"
Clenching his fists tightly, Feng Linyang said that if he could beat her, he would have already given this hateful woman a good beating.
However, upon seeing this, Lin Xueyi gave a cold smile. "Mr. Jin, let's leave it at that. I will personally go to his house tomorrow to get revenge."
Upon hearing the boy's arrogant words, before Feng Linyang could even speak, Li Hao recognized the boy's voice as one of the two people who had previously beaten him up.
So she secretly whispered it in her young master's ear. When Feng Linyang heard this, his eyes, which were still a little drunk, widened instantly. He looked carefully at the pretty "little boy" and the other "man" who was with her.
"Alright, very good. You wanted to find me, right? Then I'll wait for you to come find me. My name is Feng Linyang, and I'm quite famous in Luoxie City. Just come to Zhaoyuan Escort Agency to find me. Don't worry, I'll let you both know how powerful I am, hehehe."
"Xueyi, can I hit him?" Ye Qin'er's fists clenched tightly were hard to control when she saw the man laughing so lewdly.
As for Lin Xueyi, she merely tilted her head at this reckless man. Beating him now would be too lenient; she would ruthlessly crush his greatest support, leaving him utterly hopeless in endless regret.
He waved his hand, "We don't need to get into a conflict with such scum. The power behind him is our target. Take me there tomorrow."
