Jia De led Qiu Yihan through a long corridor paved with bluestone and arrived at a wooden garden. After passing through the garden, there were a few rows of neatly arranged houses. In front of one of the houses, there was a woman in green who was seriously watering a pot of Clivia. Judd came before the woman and bowed respectfully.""Master's wife!"
The woman slowly turned around and put down the water ladle in her hand. She smiled and said,"It's Judd! Why do you have the time to visit Master's wife?" This woman had a face like a peach blossom and skin as white as snow. Although she was about forty years old, her figure was still graceful.
"Jia De hasn't seen master's wife for a few days and misses her very much, so he took the time to come over and take a look!”As Judd spoke, he ran into the house and brought out a chair, helping the woman sit down.
"Your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter!”The woman smiled faintly and sat on the chair. She continued,"Tell me, is there something wrong?”
"Master's wife, what do you think of this girl? Master asked me to bring her to see you!" Jia De smiled as he pointed at Qiu Yihan.
Qiu Yihan bowed and smiled,""Greetings, Mrs. Yue!"
Mrs. Yue was just chatting with Jia De and did not notice the lady in front of her. She sized Qiu Yihan up and smiled,""What a beautiful woman!"
"Tianxiang brought her back from the capital. Her name is Xiao Feng and she has no home. Master asked her to stay in our Loyalty Alliance for the time being!”Jia De took the ladle from Mrs. Yue's hands and helped her water the other pots of flowers.
"Oh, it's like this! This girl looks smart and quick-witted. It's good for her to stay in our Yue family. At least she can chat with me!”Mrs. Yue called Qiu Yihan over.
Qiu Yihan smiled as she walked to Mrs. Yue's side. Mrs. Yue kindly held Qiu Yihan's hand and smiled,""What a good girl, but she has no home! Just treat this place as your home from now on!”
"Thank you for taking me in, Madam!" Qiu Yihan quickly bowed to Mrs. Yue. She did not expect Mrs. Yue to be as kind as Alliance Master Yue.
"Young Lady, don't stand on ceremony! With you by my side to accompany me, my heart will feel more comfortable! Unlike my naughty girl, who only makes me angry!”Mrs. Yue smiled as she caressed Qiu Yihan's hand.
Qiu Yihan felt a sense of warmth that she had not felt for a long time. She felt that the woman in front of her was like her mother who had died many years ago. She was so close to her and in her warm hands, Qiu Yihan could feel the motherly love that she had lost.
"Mistress, did Tian Le make you angry again?”Jia De placed the wooden bucket and water ladle under the eaves and came to Mrs. Yue's side with a smile.
"That's right. She's already fifteen years old, but all she knows is to play crazily. She doesn't know any needlework at all. I don't know how she'll get married in the future!”
"Master's wife, Junior Sister Tian Le is born to be fun. Don't force her to do needlework, as long as she is happy!”
"Look, all of you spoil her. I don't know where this crazy girl has run off to now.”Mrs. Yue smiled at Qiu Yihan and continued,""I've embarrassed myself in front of Miss Xiao Feng!"
Qiu Yihan smiled faintly." Miss Yue is still young. Madam, you don't have to worry about her. Xiao Feng, on the other hand, thinks that she is innocent and cute. She is very likable!"”
"Miss Xiao Feng really knows how to talk, I like it!”
"Since Mrs. Yue loves Xiao Feng so much, then Xiao Feng is willing to stay by your side for the rest of her life and serve you!”Qiu Yihan said sincerely. She was homeless now, and this was the best place for her to stay. With Mrs. Yue by her side, not only would she be able to get used to the place quickly, she would also be able to feel the missing motherly love from Mrs. Yue. It was such a good deal.
"Good, what a sensible girl. If only my Tian Le was half as sensible as you!”Mrs. Yue looked at Qiu Yihan approvingly.
"Mother, what are you talking about? Why are you so happy?”Yue Tianxiang smiled and walked to his mother's side.
"Mother said that the girl you brought back is very sensible!”Mrs. Yue smiled at her son.
Yue Tianxiang smiled at Qiu Yihan and turned to his mother,""Since mother likes Xiao Feng very much, then let Xiao Feng accompany mother more in the future!”
"Good!" Mrs. Yue stood up happily and patted Yue Tianxiang's shoulder. She continued,""My Tianxiang is still the most obedient! Unlike Tian Cheng and Tian Le, who couldn't even see their figures for a day!”
"Mother, don't blame little brother. He is focused on martial arts. As for little sister, she is just playing around!”
"Alright, let's not talk about them. As long as you and Miss Xiao Feng can come and visit me often, I'll be content!”
"I will come to visit you often! As for Miss Xiao Feng, let her stay in my old study room. It's the closest to Mother's room!”
"Alright, then quickly bring Xiao Feng to the house to take a look!”Mrs. Yue smiled and gestured for Qiu Yihan and Yue Tianxiang to go to the study.
Qiu Yihan bowed to Mrs. Yue and followed behind Yue Tianxiang with a smile. They walked towards a house that was only a dozen steps away.
Seeing Yue Tianxiang and Qiu Yihan leave, Jia De also bid farewell to Mrs. Yue and went to the front yard to spar with Yue Tiancheng.
Yue Tianxiang pushed open the wooden door of the house and extended his hand to invite Qiu Yihan in. The wooden house was not big, but it was spotlessly clean. There were many ancient books on the bookshelves made of sandalwood. There were very few martial arts manuals, and most of them were books for self-cultivation. There was a small wooden bed by the bamboo window. The bed was covered with clean and elegant blankets, which looked soft and warm. There was a vermilion wooden table with a pot of jasmine flowers on it. The white flowers emitted waves of fragrance. There was a landscape painting on the wall, and the entire room gave off an elegant and otherworldly feeling.
"How is it? Do you like it?" Yue Tianxiang smiled and sniffed the fragrance of jasmine. This was his favorite place. Other than practicing martial arts, he would spend most of his time here reading or painting. The landscape painting on the wall was his masterpiece.
"I like it!" Qiu Yihan used her hand to touch the soft bedding. She felt that this place was so cozy. She had never slept in such a soft and comfortable bed in the White Bone Cult before. Because she did not have her mother to help her clean it up, and because the White Bone Cult was humid all year round, her bed was always cold and damp. She did not expect to have such a comfortable place to stay. She was overwhelmed by the unexpected.
"It's good that you like it. There are many books here. You can read them if you have nothing to do!”Yue Tianxiang smiled and pointed at the neatly arranged books on the bookshelf.
"Thank you!" Qiu Yihan gave Yue Tianxiang a sweet smile. She felt that the man in front of her had given her a chance to be reborn. He had given her a comfortable place to live. In this warm place, she could return to her original self and not listen to anyone.
Yue Tianxiang saw Qiu Yihan's smiling face and his heart skipped a beat. He had always thought that his sister's smile was the most beautiful in the world, but he did not expect that at this moment, he felt that he was wrong. The most beautiful and intoxicating smile was actually this girl in front of him. Her smile gave Yue Tianxiang a feeling that he had never felt before.
"Brother Yue!" Qiu Yihan saw Yue Tianxiang staring at her and her face turned red. She was at a loss.
When Yue Tianxiang heard Qiu Yihan's voice, he slowly regained his senses and lowered his head in embarrassment. After a long time, he slowly raised his head and tidied his hair. He smiled faintly and said,"Your smile is as beautiful as my sister's!”
"Is that so?" Qiu Yihan's heart was thumping like a rabbit. Her face was red to the ears and she did not dare to look Yue Tianxiang in the eyes.
"Alright, you must be very tired after running around for a few days. I won't disturb you anymore.”Yue Tianxiang felt that the atmosphere was a little tense at the moment, making him feel at a loss. After saying that, he hurriedly walked out of the house.
Qiu Yihan looked at Yue Tianxiang's back as he left and smiled happily. From Yue Tianxiang's eyes, she could see that her happiness was just around the corner.
After sending Yue Tianxiang away, Qiu Yihan laid down in a warm bed. The few days of running around had indeed exhausted her. In such a quiet and comfortable room, she fell asleep in a short while. In her sleep, she saw the handsome man in white smiling at her. His smile was extraordinary and beautiful! Slowly, she saw the two strange-looking men again. They wanted to take her back, so she ran desperately…
"Zhang Ying, where do you think this young miss can go? Her martial arts aren't very good. We've been out for almost two days!" Chou Wudi's cold voice rang out. He and Zhang Ying were currently on their way to the capital. They had been looking for Qiu Yihan ever since they left the mountain. They heard that there was a brothel in the capital that specialized in recruiting martial arts girls. They were afraid that Qiu Yihan would be taken there, so they decided to look for her again.
"It's hard to say. If the young miss was really captured by someone to that kind of place, with the young miss's personality, she would definitely die!”
"Then let's hurry up and take a look. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid that Eldest Miss will really be forced to death by those beasts!”Chou Wudi quickened his pace as he spoke.
" Yes!" Zhang Ying responded and quickly moved forward, heading straight for Chang 'an with Chou Wudi. In the afternoon, the two of them arrived in Chang 'an. As they were in a hurry to find Qiu Yihan, the two of them had not eaten a meal since they left the mountain. They were so hungry that they were panicking.
"Brother Wudi, we've been traveling for two days in a row. We're already exhausted, and our stomachs are growling. If we don't eat something soon, how can we have the strength to look for the young miss? How about we find a restaurant to eat and drink our fill first?”Zhang Ying said slowly as he touched his stomach.
At the mention of eating, Chou Wudi's stomach started to growl. He sighed and said,""Alright, I hope that nothing will happen to the young miss. Otherwise, how will the two of us explain to the sect master?”
"Brother Wudi, don't worry. To be able to go to such a powerful place to visit a brothel, one must be a high-ranking official in the capital or a famous person in the martial arts world. These people naturally won't go there openly in the daytime, so Eldest Miss should be safe now.”
"That's true! Then let's go eat first!" After hearing Zhang Ying's analysis, Chou Wudi was no longer worried about Qiu Yihan's safety. The two of them found a tavern and ordered a pound of white wine and four to five delicacies. After eating and drinking to their heart's content, they asked the waiter about this brothel. The waiter told them that this brothel was called the " Dancing Fragrance Pavilion " and that there were many extraordinary women in it. Moreover, they heard that the boss was a mysterious Jianghu figure and that it was officially open for business tonight.
"The shop owner is also a Jianghu figure? Motherf * cker! I didn't expect a Jianghu person to open a brothel. Brother Wudi, which bastard do you think it is?”Zhang Ying said loudly as he used a toothpick to pick the minced meat between his teeth.
Chou Wudi took a sip of tea and said coldly,""I can't say for sure. It seems that we still have to spend some effort to save the young miss!”
"I haven't killed anyone these few days, and my hands are really itching to see what kind of person this bastard is!”As Zhang Ying spoke, he casually threw out the toothpick that he had used up. His internal energy was profound, so this toothpick actually stabbed deeply into the opposite wall.
The waiter was scared out of his wits by Zhang Ying's words and the toothpick he threw out. He had been doing business here for three to five years and had seen many Jianghu people, but he had never met such a powerful person. He trembled and prepared to flee, but was unexpectedly stopped by Chou Wudi's cold voice,""Tell us the address of that brothel!”
"Reporting to the two masters, the Fragrant Dance Pavilion is on the east street!" The waiter replied timidly.”
"Got it. Here's the money for your meal!" Chou Wudi shouted coldly and threw a handful of silver pieces on the table. The waiter was stunned and did not dare to take the silver.
"Alright, let's go to the Dancing Fragrance Pavilion now!”Chou Wudi picked up his two large copper hammers and strode out of the restaurant. Zhang Ying also gripped his weapon tightly and ran towards the Fragrant Dance Pavilion with Chou Wudi. They wanted to see who this mysterious boss was.
