Chapter 264 Xuanjizi



Pei Jinxiao smiled slightly, with a glimmer of wit in his eyes: "Of course, Miss Sheng and the Sheng Mansion's banquet are both praised."

Sheng Yunrong smiled gently, her bright eyes stayed on Pei Jinxiao's face for a moment, then she turned her head and looked at the maid beside her: "Come, pour a glass of wine for Prince Pei."

The maid immediately stepped forward and filled Pei Jinxiao's glass with wine. Sheng Yunrong gently picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Pei Jinxiao's: "Your Highness, I'll drink this glass of wine first as a sign of respect."

Pei Jinxiao smiled slightly and raised his glass in response: "Miss Sheng, I toast to you."

The two drank it all in one gulp, and the atmosphere instantly became relaxed. Sheng Yunrong smiled lightly, with a bit of provocation in her eyes: "Your Majesty, do you know who is the real dance master in this Sheng Mansion?"

Pei Jinxiao smiled slightly, with a hint of amusement in his eyes: "Isn't it Miss Sheng?"

Sheng Yunrong smiled lightly, with a hint of pride in her eyes: "Your Majesty, thank you for the compliment. However, I would like to see your dancing skills at the banquet tonight."

Pei Jinxiao smiled, with a glimmer of confidence in his eyes: "Since Miss Sheng is so looking forward to it, I will respectfully obey your order."

As the music started, Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao started dancing together. Their dancing was elegant and grand, attracting everyone's attention. While dancing, their eyes met, as if they were communicating something silently.

"Your Highness, who do you think is most worthy of attention in the Sheng Mansion?" Sheng Yunrong asked while dancing.

Pei Jinxiao smiled slightly, with a hint of deepness in his eyes: "Of course it's Miss Sheng."

Sheng Yunrong smiled lightly, with a sly look in her eyes: "Your Majesty, you are too kind. However, I think there is another person in the Sheng Mansion who deserves attention."

Pei Jinxiao's eyes flashed with curiosity: "Oh? Who is it?"

Sheng Yunrong smiled lightly, with a hint of mystery in her eyes: "Your Majesty, you might as well find out for yourself."

The dance music gradually ended, and Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao returned to their original positions.

Sheng Yunrong sat on the rosewood chair in Sheng Mansion, with deep doubt in her eyes. She looked at the mottled raindrops outside the window, and ripples appeared in her heart. At this time, Tu Su Yuwei walked in gently. She was wearing a light blue Luo skirt, and her steps were light, like the breeze after the rain.

"Miss, you seem to be worried about something." Tu Su Yuwei asked softly, with a hint of concern in her eyes.

Sheng Yunrong came back to her senses. She smiled slightly, trying to hide her confusion: "Nothing, it's just that there are some things I can't figure out."

Tu Su Yuwei sat opposite Sheng Yunrong. She gently fiddled with her hair and said slowly, "Miss, if you have any confusion, you might as well share it with me. Maybe I can help you solve your worries."

Sheng Yunrong was silent for a moment, then sighed: "Do you know why so many strangers have suddenly come to the mansion recently?"

Tu Su Yuwei frowned slightly, and she pondered for a moment: "Could it be that the adults have some plans?"

"That's right." Sheng Yunrong nodded. "I always feel that there must be something fishy behind this matter, but I can't find any clues. These strangers all have unique skills, but they hide their abilities and are hard to figure out."

Tu Su Yuwei's eyes flashed with a gleam of light: "Miss, do you think these people are related to a certain force in the martial arts world?"

Sheng Yunrong's eyes narrowed, and she looked at Tu Su Yuwei, as if she saw a glimmer of hope: "Why do you think so?"

Tu Su Yuwei pondered and said, "I have some friends in the martial arts world. They told me that the martial arts world has been in turmoil recently, and all the major forces are secretly competing with each other. Perhaps these strangers were sent by a certain force."

A trace of worry flashed across Sheng Yunrong's eyes: "If this is the case, then isn't our Sheng Mansion involved in an invisible dispute?"

Tu Su Yuwei smiled slightly: "Miss, you don't have to worry too much. Since we have noticed something, we can prepare in advance. I will secretly investigate these people to see what their purpose is."

Sheng Yunrong nodded with confidence. She looked at Tu Su Yuwei with trust in her eyes: "Yuwei, you are my most capable assistant. I trust you."

Tu Su Yuwei smiled slightly, a warm feeling surged in her heart, but also an inexplicable pressure.

Sheng Yunrong and Tu Su Yuwei were walking in the garden. Sheng Yunrong looked at Tu Su Yuwei and couldn't help asking, "Yuwei, have you found any clues?"

Tu Su Yuwei shook her head gently: "Miss, I am ashamed. In the past few days, I have not found any valuable clues."

Sheng Yunrong comforted her: "Yuwei, you have done a good job. This matter involves a lot of things, we must not rush it."

At this moment, they suddenly saw an old man walking towards them from a distance. The old man was wearing a gray Taoist robe, walking steadily, with a gleam of brilliance in his eyes.

Sheng Yunrong was slightly startled. She recognized the old man. He was a famous mysterious figure in the world, known as the "hidden master."

Tu Su Yuwei also noticed the old man, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes: "Miss, who is this old man?"

Sheng Yunrong pondered and said, "This old man's name is Xuanjizi. He is proficient in Qimen Dunjia and is a legendary figure in the martial arts world. I didn't expect that he would appear in our Sheng Mansion."

Xuanjizi walked up to Sheng Yunrong and Tu Su Yuwei and smiled: "Miss Sheng, Miss Tu Su, you seem to be talking about something interesting?"

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly: "Senior Xuanjizi, you misunderstood, we were just chatting."

Xuanjizi's eyes flashed with sharpness. He looked at Sheng Yunrong and said slowly, "Miss Sheng, I know you are investigating those strangers. I can tell you that these people were indeed sent by a certain force in the martial arts world."

Sheng Yunrong and Tu Su Yuwei looked at each other. They didn't expect Xuan Jizi to take the initiative to reveal this information.

Sheng Yunrong asked: "Senior, what is their purpose?"

Xuanjizi pondered and said, "I don't know about this either, but since they have come to Sheng Mansion, they must have some plan. You must be careful in dealing with them."

Tu Su Yuwei raised her eyebrows and looked at her. Naturally, she had not forgotten what Sheng Yunrong said that day. There was a barely perceptible coldness in her eyes, but a gentle smile hung at the corner of her mouth.

"Miss Sheng, I still remember what happened that day." Tu Su Yuwei smiled gently, but her eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if she could see through Sheng Yunrong's thoughts.

Sheng Yunrong was slightly startled, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, but she soon regained her composure. She flicked her sleeves lightly and said calmly: "Miss Tu Su, why do you have to bring up the past? What happened that day was just a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding?" Tu Su Yuwei smiled lightly, but her eyes were sharper. "Miss Sheng, do you think I will be fooled by your sweet words?"

Sheng Yunrong's expression changed slightly. She suppressed her anger and tried her best to remain calm: "Miss Tu Su, what do you mean?"

Tu Su Yuwei looked at her coldly, without a trace of emotion in her tone: "That day you slandered me for colluding with outsiders and trying to destroy the peace of Tu Su Mansion. We have not yet settled this account."
