Volume 2 ◆ Flourishing Talent VS Overlooking the World ◆ Chapter 39 Door-to-Door Opponents

  Moyan Hua handed a long rectangular brocade box to Feng Mi Xue after sending her to Mei Yin Lou.

  "Xue Er, good night!"

  Soft and gentle voice, with a melodious tone like the strings of a harp, drifting in like the wind and rain. Like the misty dawn, it gives people an elusive feeling.

  "Be careful on the road!"

  Feng Mei Xue took over the brocade box, on which there was a single, uniquely beautiful plum blossom, with bright stamens and intricately carved to life.

  "Get some rest, see you at Drunken Delight Pavilion tomorrow!"

  Moyan Hua stood in front of the plum forest under the moonlight, wearing a white dress that surpassed snow, exuding an aura of majesty and nobility, with a hint of rare warmth.

  Hiding in the dark, Sui Feng looked at Gongzi's gentle and affectionate gaze, which was directed at Fengxue standing in front of Mei Yin Lou, and was so surprised that she almost bit her tongue. Gongzi had been really abnormal for the past two days, formerly a ruthless and cold-blooded person who made decisions with ease, now seemed to have gained a hint of human emotion.

  Such changes don't seem like a bad thing either.

  Ordinarily, no one dares to be presumptuous in front of the young master, and no one dares to get close to the young master who is as majestic as a temple. He is strong like this, but lonely like snow.

  Now, there is finally someone who can stand in front of the young master, laugh and pat his shoulder without being rejected from a thousand miles away.

  "See you tomorrow!"

  Feng Mei Xue waved her hand, and a hint of expectation rose to her cheeks under the white veil. With one hand grasping the brocade box, the smile at the corner of her lips was brilliant to the extreme.

  "Xue Sheng, you distribute these roasted fish! Some have cooled down, remember to heat them up later!"

  Feng Mei Xue saw the figure of Mo Yan Hua fade into the night as she turned and walked into the Mei Yin Lou, handing the roasted fish wrapped in leaves to Xue Shao. Her clear voice carried a fresh and elegant tone reminiscent of the valleys, making people feel especially comfortable upon hearing it.

  "Thank you, miss!"

  Xue Shao smiled warmly, with a gentle light in her eyes that seemed to be on the verge of overflowing with tears.

  Feng Mei Xue nodded towards her and walked into the cold and quiet bedroom, saw that she was already asleep, then softly closed the door and walked into the brightly lit boudoir.

  Outside Meiyin Building, Mo Yanhua, who was originally about to leave, heard a few words whispered in his ear by the wind and turned back into the depths of the plum forest.

  A wisp of unique wine fragrance caused him to furrow his good-looking eyebrows. With a flick of his long sleeve, he walked into the plum forest with steps as swift as the wind, his incredibly fast figure transformed into a white mist.

  "Who is it?"

  Huā Lěng Zuì, who was struggling to break free from the Mei Lin illusion array, suddenly lifted her head and looked back. A cold glint flashed in her phoenix eyes, and her purple hair flew up into the air.

  A figure in pure white appeared before my eyes, standing tall among the plum blossoms. The illusions surrounding him had no effect on the man. The night wind blew his long black hair into a dance, and his white silk ribbons fluttered about.

  It was just a glimpse of her back figure that made the flower cold and drunk, and a sense of wonder arose in his heart, while also being wary of the unpredictable aura on the man's body.

  The strong! The absolutely strong!

  The alarm bell rang suddenly, and the sound echoed in Huacold's ears.

  "The Young Master of the Flower Family, drunk and unconscious!"

  Mo Yanhua slowly turned around, and time and space seemed to freeze in an instant. The moonlight outlined his perfect silhouette even more clearly. Every word was spoken, overflowing from his beautiful lips, falling into Huā Lěng Zuì's ears, making him shiver all over.

  This sense of danger, he still had it for the first time in his life, enough to see that the beautiful man in front of him was terrifying.

  "What's wrong?"

  Her languid voice was husky and charming, her slender figure leaning against a plum blossom tree, with an air of nonchalance on her handsome face.

  "If you dare to touch a hair on her head, I will personally visit the Huas!"

  The stranger's eyes were cold and scrutinizing, her voice was neither warm nor fiery, yet it was calm enough to make one's heart skip a beat.

  He just dropped this sentence, and his figure disappeared in front of Huā Lěng Zuì, as if he had never appeared. Only that strand of cold and clear fragrance of plum blossoms lingered in the air, filling the entire plum forest with a mysterious atmosphere in an instant.

  "Who do you think you are? Daring to threaten me?"

  The words of Huā Lěng Zuì had hardly fallen when, with the wind, a figure appeared carrying an ancient zither, following behind Mò Yān Huá, and disappearing into the night.

  "That is... Mo Qin! He is Yan Hua Gong Zi!"

  His Adam's apple rolled, and his lips became dry for no reason. His gaze stared straight at the two figures disappearing into the distance, and he didn't come back to himself for a long time. The unruliness on his face turned solemn, with an inexplicable flame of anger rising from the bottom of his eyes.

  "Damn it! That Long Song is really something. Afraid of offending Young Master Yan Hua, he actually called me, the young master, to muddy the waters!"

  Huā Lěng Zuì's fist landed on the plum blossom tree, causing it to shatter into two halves. Just as he raised his head, he saw that the maze he had just solved was transformed again due to the damage of the plum blossom tree, and his face immediately darkened.

  A long song! He actually dares to bully himself, is he living too comfortably?

  He glanced up at the moon in the sky and suddenly gulped down a large mouthful of strong liquor, his lips twitching imperceptibly for two seconds.

  It seems he won't be able to get out of here by tomorrow!

  The night is deep and dark, with only one small lamp shining like a bean.

  Inside Meiyin Building, there was only the sound of candlelight, and the hissing sound echoed, making it seem even more quiet.

  "Miss, hot water is ready! Do you want to take a bath?"

  Qingyi had already made up her bed and put her clean nightgown on top of the screen.

  "Hmm!"

  Feng Mei Xue had been rushing about all day, and at this moment she also felt somewhat exhausted. This body had suffered too much hardship, although not as weak as an ordinary young lady, but because of long-term malnutrition, her physique was not good. Just going out for a trip made her feel somewhat unwell already.

  She took a bath, changed into a comfortable nightgown, sat in front of the desk, stretched out her hand to open the brocade box handed over by Mo Yanhua.

  The lamp light was orange, dyeing a circle of bright and dim halos. In the brocade box, thin paper sheets were quietly placed. Slender fingers picked up one sheet, she measured it for a moment, and recognized that it was a deed.

  "What? Isn't this the deed to the Drunken Delight Pavilion?"

  Asakusa held a plate of fresh fruit in her hand and walked to Feng Mianxue's side, revealing a surprised smile on her face. Seeing that there were still several thin sheets of paper in the brocade box, each with a different color, her eyes lit up suddenly.

  "And the deeds of Linglongfang and Weijing Building! Young master is really good to young lady!"

  "Asakusa, how did you know this was the deed of the land?"

  Feng Mei Xue picked up two deeds, asking in confusion. There were also two more deeds inside the brocade box, but she didn't know what shops they belonged to. In total, there were five deeds, which undoubtedly gave her a great deal of help.

  "I've seen these few land deeds before, so I'm quite familiar with them. The remaining two land deeds, if I remember correctly, should be the ones for Yu Jian Ge and Shi Wei Tian."

  Asakusa smiled and said, delighted that the young lady had received such favor from the young master. The young master and the young lady were a perfect match, if they could be married, it would be great!

  It seems that the young master is being very attentive to the young lady, it looks like their wedding day is not far off.

  "Hmm, I see! Asakusa, tell me more about these shops!"

  Feng Mei Xue didn't know what was on Shallow Grass's mind, her hands propped up her cheeks as she looked at these land deeds, and softly spoke.

  "Alright! Miss, listen carefully to what I have to say!"

  Asakura nodded heavily and began to speak to Feng Mianxue without hiding anything.
