After a few days of traveling, they had finally arrived at the capital. There was a hint of unusualness in the air. Was the weather about to change?
The weather had indeed changed. It began to rain heavily as soon as they arrived in the capital.
The few of them came to a shop called First-grade House.”At the inn.
"Sir, I'm really sorry. There are no guest rooms in this restaurant.”A waiter saw that there was a guest and immediately came up to ask.
"What an intelligent manservant. How did you know that we were going to stay in the inn?”Yue Qingyuan laughed.
"Sir, you are travel-worn, carrying a bundle, and tied to a horse outside. Naturally, you want to stay in the inn.”
"Let's have a few side dishes first. We'll make plans after the rain stops.”Shangguan Ruoyu said slowly.
Looking at the food on the table, the few passersby were indeed hungry. After a while, there was nothing left.
"Sister Yu, the food here is really delicious! Burp." After Murong Ling finished speaking, she even burped in a very unruly manner.
"Young lady, I won't hide it from you. When you go around the capital, who wouldn't say that First-grade House's food is delicious?”
"Oh, then what about your shopkeeper? I want to meet him. His taste is quite good. The chef he hired is not ordinary.”Anu thought to herself, This shop is not ordinary.
"Sir, you're from another city, so you don't know that most of the businesses in the capital are managed by Maple Feather Pavilion. Our boss is the second young master of Maple Feather Pavilion, Shang Yu.”The waiter introduced him very professionally.
"What is it? Maple Feather Pavilion." Murong Ling cried out in shock. The backer her master had found for her was really rich!
"What's wrong, Ling 'er?" Shangguan Ruoyu frowned and asked.
"It's fine, it's fine." Murong Ling replied in a daze.
"The rain has stopped. Anu, go find a courtyard house.”Shangguan Ruoyu knew that Ling 'er must be hiding something from her, so it wouldn't be too late to ask at night.
"Waiter, the bill."
"Alright, sir. Tomorrow is the annual lantern riddle party. You can take a look around.”The waiter took the money and suggested.
The group of people arrived at the courtyard house that Anu had found. Murong Ling was in a daze the entire way.
At night, Shangguan Ruoyu went to Murong Ling's room.
"Ling 'er, you're not asleep yet."
"Sister Yu, I know you must want to ask me about what happened today. I shouldn't have hidden it from you. I came to the capital to find Maple Feather Pavilion.”Pavilion Head Shang Shangjie."
"That's why you changed when you heard the name 'Maple Feather Pavilion'. Ling Er, I've always been curious about who you are, but I know that everyone has their own secrets. That's why I didn't ask you, but I hope you can trust me. I've always treated you as a sister.”Shangguan Ruoyu said sincerely.
"Of course I believe you. Actually, I don't know my own background either. My master and I have always lived in the Lost Forest. After my master passed away, he told me to go to the capital to find Shang Shujie and even brought a letter for me to give to him. I don't know if I should go find him now.”Murong Ling said.
"Ling 'er, I think you should go find Shang Shujie! After all, your master asked you to pass the letter to him, presumably to ask him to take care of you. It's not convenient for you to be alone outside, so it's good to have a place to stay.”
"No, Sister Yu, I will give the letter to him, but I will still be with you. Don't even think about chasing me away.”
"Ling 'er, you know that I'm going to take revenge. I can't even guarantee my own life. How can I let you follow me?”Shangguan Ruoyu looked serious."
"Sister Yu, I said I would help you. I'll still be with you anyway.”Murong Ling's face also had a rare seriousness.
"Ai, Ling Er, you should meet the people from Maple Feather Pavilion first! I'll go with you tomorrow." Shangguan Ruoyu said and left.
The next day, Shangguan Ruoyu and Murong Ling came to the Shang Mansion together.
"May I ask why the two of you are looking for this old man?”They waited for a while before the master appeared.
"Pavilion Master Shang, this junior is truly sorry to disturb you without an invitation. However, my younger sister wants to see you, so she came uninvited.”Shangguan Ruoyu said politely.
"Oh, I wonder why my sister is looking for me.”
"Yes, it's my master. He wants to give you a letter.”Murong Ling handed the letter to Shang Shujie.
"Who is your master?"
"My master is called Murong Fu."
"What, Murong Fu?" Shang Shujie opened the letter excitedly and revealed an incredulous expression as he read it.
"How was it? What did my master say?”Murong Ling was curious.
"Hey." Shang Shujie sighed and continued,""Ling 'er, right? You can stay in Maple Feather Pavilion! Your master entrusted you to me. I will take good care of you.”
"No, I have to be with my Sister Yu.”Murong Ling retorted. She didn't want to stay here. It was so boring.
"Ling 'er, since this is your master's wish, you should stay here. I'll come and see you.”Shangguan Ruoyu said.
"No, I want to be with you anyway.”Murong Ling threw a childish tantrum.
" Ling 'er..." Shangguan Ruoyu felt a little helpless.
"May I know how to address this lady?”Shang Shujie sized Shangguan Ruoyu up and said.
"I am Lin Ruoyu." Shangguan Ruoyu used her mother's surname. After all, the surname Shangguan was too ostentatious.
"Did Miss Lin come to the capital with Ling 'er?”Shang Shujie instinctively felt that Shangguan Ruoyu was not simple.
"To tell you the truth, I met Ling 'er on the way. We hit it off at first sight and became sworn sisters. Now that she has found her family, I can rest assured.”Shangguan Ruoyu arrived politely.
" I see. It's all thanks to Miss Lin's care along the way. May I know why Miss Lin came to the capital this time…"
"Oh, I saw that the Martial Arts Circle Convention was about to begin, so I couldn't help but want to come and take a look.”
"May I know where Young Lady's master is?"
"My master is Leng Yuezi." Shangguan Ruoyu knew that Shang Shangjie must have thought that she had some intentions towards Ling 'er, so he did not hide anything.
"So you're Master Leng's disciple. I haven't seen Master Leng in years. I wonder how he and his wife are doing.”Minister Jie said.
"Master and Mistress are doing very well."
"Why don't we do this? Ling 'er can't bear to part with you, so why don't you stay here with us? My Maple Feather Pavilion will also participate in the Martial Arts Circle Convention, so it'll be more convenient.”
" This..." Shangguan Ruoyu hesitated.
"Alright, Sister Yu, wherever you go, Ling 'er will go.”
"You little girl, if that's the case, I'll have to trouble Pavilion Master Shang. However, I wonder if it's convenient for my two junior brothers.”
"It's okay, the more people there are, the livelier it is! Hahaha." Shang Shujie smiled happily.
"Father." At this moment, a green-robed man with a furious expression hurriedly walked in.
"Yu 'er, don't be rude. There are guests here.”Shang Shu Jie stopped Shang Yu's rudeness without showing any emotion.
Only then did Shang Yu realize that there were two beautiful women here. He could not help but greet them awkwardly!
"Yu 'er, this is Murong Ling. This is Lin Ruoyu, Miss Lin.”
"You're Ling 'er. You're already so old.”Shang Yu walked to Murong Ling's side and smiled.
"You know me." Murong Ling couldn't help but find it strange.
"You must not remember. When I was young, my big brother and I practiced martial arts in the Lost Forest. You had to call me senior brother. You were so young back then, but after not seeing you for so long, you've already grown so beautiful.”
"Oh, hehehe." Murong Ling really didn't know that she and her senior brother were here, so she could only smile awkwardly.
"Yu 'er, bring them to their rooms to rest first. Also, prepare the rooms for Miss Lin's two junior brothers. When you're done, come find me in the study.”Shang Shujie stood up and said.
"Miss Lin, please treat it as your own home. There's no need to stand on ceremony.”
"Thank you, Pavilion Master Shang.”Shangguan Ruoyu arrived.
"Miss Lin, Ling 'er, please follow me.”
"Young Master Yi, you can call me Little Yu.”
"Then don't call me Young Master Dou. If you don't mind, just call me Big Brother Shang.”Shang Yu saw that although Shangguan Ruoyu was not as lively as Murong Ling, she was gentle and did not lose her aura, so he had a good impression of her.
"Hey, Senior Brother, didn't you say that I have a Senior Brother? Where is he?”
"Oh, big brother is usually not in the residence. He is usually dealing with matters in the martial arts world. Maple Feather Pavilion is divided into two parts: business and martial.”Shang Yu explained.
"Wow, wow, you guys are so awesome. Senior Brother, isn't there a lantern riddle party tonight? Let's go and take a look.”Murong Ling smiled.
"Sigh, I can't go. There are still many things to do in the shop. You can go and take a look. Then, take this jade token with you. There's a shop with a feather-shaped symbol.”Shang Yu instructed.
"Wow, really? That's great. Then I have to go to First-grade Restaurant again to try it. The food there is too delicious. Now I don't have to pay.”
Shangguan Ruoyu and Shang Shujie looked at each other and shook their heads.
