Chapter 104 Distinguished Guests Arrive

Lin Yuesha made an excuse to go to the restroom and was out for about fifteen minutes. If she didn't go back soon, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to handle Jiang Baozhu's situation.

"Sister Ziyuan, how long do I have to wait for news?"

Lin Yuesha had no doubt about what Ziyuan said. Not to mention Ziyuan's extensive knowledge and experience, even the man in black who had just descended from the sky was no ordinary person.

"Seven days at the latest."

Ziyuan casually remarked that seven days was just the right amount of time, neither too long nor too short.

"Then why should I come to Zuifenglou again?"

Lin Yuesha was satisfied with the time, but the thought of going to such a place again made her scalp tingle.

Brothels are not suitable for a respectable person like her; she simply cannot handle them, and seeing Ziyuan would cost her a lot of money.

I'll figure out a way to send you a message.

Ziyuan smiled slightly. The little girl was interesting; her thoughts were obvious. She wanted to see him but was worried about money.

He has no shortage of money or beautiful women.

"Sister Ziyuan, you are so kind!"

Lin Yuesha was moved by Ziyuan's understanding, but what the other party asked for was not within her consideration.

The two were talking when footsteps came from the doorway.

"Little girl, go hide in the inner room."

Ziyuan pointed behind the screen, and Lin Yuesha nimbly squeezed in.

"Miss Ziyuan, are you resting?"

From the doorway came Granny Feng's cautious voice asking questions.

"Not yet, please come in."

Ziyuan, her face veiled, leaned lazily against the small couch and asked, "Granny Feng, I'm not seeing any guests today. Do you have something to discuss with me?"

"Miss Ziyuan, we have a distinguished guest, it's truly..."

Granny Feng smiled awkwardly. She knew the rules of Ziyuan. Even if someone wanted to see Ziyuan and caused trouble, she could help suppress it. But tonight was different. Distinguished guests had arrived, people she couldn't afford to offend.

"Distinguished guest?"

Ziyuan straightened up and asked, "Which distinguished guest has arrived?"

"It is the Prince of Zhenbei."

Granny Feng shuddered. The other party was far too powerful; she couldn't afford to offend them. If she displeased them even slightly, her head would be chopped off.

Despite the sharp gaze of the Prince of Zhenbei, Granny Feng braced herself and made the request, but luckily, the other party did not make things difficult for her.

"My goodness, we can let others go, but we really can't afford to offend the Prince of Zhenbei!"

Granny Feng was worried that Ziyuan would throw a tantrum, and she almost knelt down. If Ziyuan refused, she would just find a rope and hang herself. After all, offending the Prince of Zhenbei was not much easier than death.

"Why does Your Highness have the leisure to come to our humble place?"

Ziyuan nodded. Since the Prince of Zhenbei had come, she couldn't refuse to see him.

What puzzled him was that the Prince of Zhenbei always preferred young girls and showed no interest in courtesans.

"It's all because of Miss Ziyuan's stunning beauty!"

Granny Feng wiped away her sweat; thankfully, her head was saved.

Before Granny Feng could even leave, a tall, imposing man entered through the doorway; it was none other than Prince Xue Su of Zhenbei.

When her patrons blocked her way out of the room, Lin Yuesha was filled with anxiety and could only try to find a place to hide.

The aster's reputation was so great that even the Prince of Zhenbei came to visit it.

Lin Yuesha had heard Jiang Baozhu mention that the Northern Lands were guarded by the Prince of Zhenbei, who commanded elite troops and generals. With the emperor far away, he was definitely the most untouchable figure in the Northern Lands.

"Your Highness, you..."

Granny Feng hesitated, unsure whether to leave or stay.

She couldn't afford to offend Prince Xiao Su of Zhenbei, but this plague god couldn't come to Zuifeng Tower often. After he left, she still had to continue her business, and she couldn't afford to offend this young lady Ziyuan!

"Granny Feng, proceed as I command."

The Prince of Zhenbei waved his hand, dismissing Granny Feng from his post.

Granny Feng glanced at Ziyuan, and seeing Ziyuan nod, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief before leaving.

The Prince of Zhenbei is indeed knowledgeable and shrewd; he knows how to play the game. She still has to prepare according to this plague god's instructions.

"Your Highness, what brings you here? Your presence is truly an honor to my humble abode!"

Ziyuan gestured for him to enter, welcoming Prince Zhenbei, Xiao Su, inside. She then indicated that she needed to go to her bedroom to change her clothes.

Xiao Su nodded and drank his tea.

Ziyuan quickly bypassed the screen and entered the inner room. He looked around, then opened the wardrobe and precisely located Lin Yuesha.

Prince Zhenbei was skilled in martial arts and had excellent hearing. To avoid being noticed, Ziyuan made a gesture, signaling Lin Yuesha to keep quiet.

Those who practice martial arts can almost always read bone structure. If they were to identify a person, it wouldn't be difficult to tell that the little girl was a woman disguised as a man.

It would be easier to handle if it were someone else, but it wouldn't work with the Prince of Zhenbei. Xiao Su is in love with the little girl, and he might develop impure thoughts if things aren't handled properly.

Lin Yuesha nodded, indicating that she understood.

Ziyuan changed her clothes and came out from the inner room a moment later.

"Your Highness, I have seen many patrons, but it is clear that you are not here for Ziyuan's beauty."

Ziyuan wanted to get rid of the person as soon as possible and be frank and fair.

"Oh, how do you know?"

Prince Zhenbei, Xiao Su, became somewhat interested and looked up to ask.

“Look at her eyes. You see, she doesn’t seem infatuated with my appearance; her eyes are very calm.”

Ziyuan spoke casually, but he was certain that Xiao Su wouldn't recognize him as a man in disguise.

"Haha, what a wonderful person!"

Xiao Su nodded. Indeed, he had seen too many beautiful women. Although Zi Yuan was more beautiful, she was nothing special.

A girl's most tender age is before the age of fifteen. To him, a girl who has passed the age of coming of age is like someone who has missed her prime.

The flower buds are most beautiful when they are about to bloom; once fully open, they will soon wither.

He admired flower buds, and he also appreciated young women.

"You pervert!"

Ziyuan had already formed a conclusion about the Prince of Zhenbei in her mind. Hearing that he was just passing through, she suddenly had the idea to come to Zuifeng Tower for some fun.

"The flower and fruit tea you are drinking is made from the most beautiful flower buds."

Ziyuan stood up and poured tea for Xiao Su. He noticed that Xiao Su's posture was strange; even in a brothel, he remained very alert.

A tall tree catches the wind. The Prince of Zhenbei has guarded the northern lands for generations and holds a large army. Too many people want Xiao Su dead.

The Prince of Zhenbei chatted with Ziyuan for a while before revealing his thoughts, "Miss Ziyuan, I admire you very much. Why don't you come with me?"

Xiao Su had no expectations for the trip to Zuifeng Tower, but it was his subordinates who mentioned Ziyuan, saying that she was exceptionally beautiful, which piqued his curiosity.

Upon meeting Ziyuan in person, Xiao Su was indeed amazed. Although he didn't like her, keeping her in his possession would be of great use.

He could give Ziyuan many identities, so she wouldn't have to sell her smiles in a brothel like Zuifenglou anymore.

"Your Highness, Ziyuan is of lowly status, how can she go back with you!"

Ziyuan refused without hesitation. He roughly understood what the Prince of Zhenbei meant; he was a very good pawn, and a pawn with value.
