Chapter 1653A – Brave Lady
Qin Yu turned a blind eye to the lady’s heated gaze.
He did not want to look at it, could not look at it, and did not dare to look at it!
However, Rourou stopped in her tracks. She turned to look at Songtao Pavilion, expressionless.
“Young Master Qin, it looks like we’re fated.”
Qin Yu coughed lightly, “Of course we are, there’s no doubt about it.”
The corners of Rourou’s lips turned up, “Men are indeed so full of deceiving words.” She raised her hand and pointed, “Let’s go, we still have time now. Even though you guys cannot do much under everyone’s eyes, you can still say a few words.”
Qin Yu rubbed his temples, “Forget about it, I don’t want any more problems to arise.”
Rourou replied, “I am talking about serious business right now.”
Helpless, Qin Yu could only follow behind her as he saw her walking forward.
The three of them walked towards Songtao Pavilion. The people in the pavilion were aware of their incoming presence. Yang Fanshan, who was by the window, looked like he was deep in thought.
Outside Songtao Pavilion, two guards stepped forward at the same time with a cold gaze in their eyes, “This is an important military location; idle people like you are not allowed to get close. Quickly go away!”
Qin Yu looked at these two guards and thought that they were indeed full of guts, and he gave them a thumbs up in his mind. “Since we can’t go in, then let’s leave.”
On top, that lady with long eyebrows had been staring at him until now. Her bright and heated gaze made him feel slightly uneasy.
It would be best if he could avoid meeting her.
Rourou raised her head and looked at the upper floor, “On the other hand, I feel that someone will invite us in today.” As she spoke, Yang Fanshan who was seated by the window with a perfect view of the ground floor stood up and said, “These three people are my friends. Please let them in.”
The two armored guards by the door instantly looked like they were put on the spot.
Yang Qianren frowned, but he nodded very slightly.
The two guards immediately breathed a sigh of relief. They both stepped backwards and said with their arms outstretched, “This way, the three of you!”
Aunt Jiang, who felt extremely uneasy after being looked up and down by Yang Qianren just now, had a bit of worry in her eyes. She was not surprised that today’s incidents had been found out.
After all, a son who was personally brought up and taught by that marshall would naturally be outstanding. However, his gaze just now made Aunt Jiang feel like she had miscalculated the situation and she was starting to regret the arrangements she had made for tonight.
If things had only gotten to this point, it was not too late to recover. After all, the Jiang Family was a first-class prestigious family in the county. Furthermore, with the County Lord’s assistance, Aunt Jiang felt rather at ease in her heart.
However, at this juncture, the man that she previously took a glance at had come to Songtao Pavilion. Her own niece had given away her intentions just by her gaze, which made Aunt Jiang groan internally.
With Yang Qianren’s status, he was very proud and arrogant. Since he had his eyes on Jiang Zhiyue now which caused him to be part of the plot, how could he put up with these things?
When she thought about this, Aunt Jiang felt even more regretful, especially when she looked at that descendant from the Yang Family who concealed his identity. He now had a cold smile on his face and his expression looked forced.
The three people ascended Songtao Pavilion. Yang Fanshan smiled and cupped his hands to greet them, “The three of you, we meet again. I guess we really are fated. If you don’t mind, please have a seat here and enjoy some Purple Fortune Tea from East Pole Mountain with me.”
As the saying went, ‘fortune approaches from the east’. Further eastward of the East Pole Mountain was where the renowned East Desolate Divine Area was located. For the Purple Fortune Tea to get its name showed how valuable it was.
Furthermore, this Purple Fortune Tea was indeed amazing. It not only contained an abundant amount of spiritual power, but after brewing the tea, there was a purple mist that would linger. Cultivators who drank it would immediately feel refreshed.
In situations where there were many people, Rourou usually did not talk, and so White Iris would naturally keep her silence as well. As such, Qin Yu became the ‘head of the house’.
He smiled and cupped his hands, “We’ll take you up on that offer.”
Even though Rourou did not explicitly state why she wanted to come to Songtao Pavilion, Qin Yu could sort of guess her reasons. If Rourou said that she was really just trying to create a chance for Qin Yu and that lady with long eyebrows to meet, it was definitely a lie. Otherwise, she would not have said those sarcastic words to Qin Yu outside the pavilion just now.
Obviously, she was feeling unhappy deep in her heart.
She was unhappy but chose to hide it, so when Rourou said that they came here for business, Qin Yu believed her. And this had something to do with the person in front of them right now, but Qin Yu did not know what exactly was going on.
Never mind, there was no point in thinking too much and he should focus on his cultivation. Rourou always did things without consulting him, and it was probably because she wanted him to focus on his cultivation as well. He was happy that he could leave everything to be handled by Rourou, because this made him carefree.
Yang Fanshan smiled and extended his arm in invitation. Qin Yu and Rourou sat opposite him and he poured Purple Fortune Tea in some white porcelain cups. Purple mist floated up from the cups and it looked very otherworldly.
“Thank you,” Qin Yu smiled, picking up a cup to take a sip with a calm expression on his face.
However, at this point, aside from the lady with the long eyebrows who was looking at him, there was another gaze that landed on him.
Since this pretty lady has already looked at me, there’s nothing I can do. Even though I can’t help feeling slightly good in my heart, why are you looking at me so fiercely like that? What’s with that cold smile on your lips? We did not meet each other before this!
Jiang Zhiyue suddenly got up. She did not know where she got the courage from, perhaps someone had lent it to her? The eyes of everyone in the room instantly landed on her face.
She was slightly nervous, but she grit her teeth and chose not to sit down. If she sat down now, she would not have the courage to get up again, and then she would not be able to talk to him again.
Taking a deep breath, she walked quickly to the window. Her face reddened, and under the light of a candle, she looked even more beautiful. Yang Qianren suddenly felt that this lady in front of him had become much prettier than before. He squinted his eyes and his smile became even wider.
“My name is Jiang Zhiyue, which comes from the phrase, ‘under the moonlit night, the river flows and the irises bloom’. What is your name?” Perhaps she was too nervous, because her voice was slightly loud. The first thing she said was the reason behind her father choosing that name for her. She felt extremely embarrassed, and her face flushed even more. Yet, she still looked at the person in front of her courageously.
Yang Fanshan was slightly stunned as he watched quietly from the side. He invited the three of them into Songtao Pavilion on a whim. As long as the heavens did not intervene, there would naturally be opportunities that arose. Being able to see such a courageous lady was a fortunate thing.
Rourou held her tea cup in her hands and looked on expressionlessly. White Iris, who stood behind Rourou and whose head was lowered, resisted the urge to raise her head.
However, she was filled with admiration for this lady named Jiang Zhiyue. You have big guts if you dare to compete with the lady. In fact, if White Iris were to be honest with herself, she hoped that Jiang Zhiyue would be successful.
Of course, she could only hide all these thoughts in her heart. She did not dare to show any expression, otherwise the lady might really slap her to her death.
Qin Yu put down his tea cup, got up, and cupped his hands. “Lady Jiang, my name is Qin Yu.”
Even though he was truly getting a headache over this, a woman had taken the initiative to speak and introduce herself. As a man, how could he make himself look too embarrassed and refuse her request?
Furthermore, Qin Yu had a very good impression of this brave lady.
Of course, as mentioned previously, that was all there is to it.
Truly.
