75.Qingfeng Mingyue Tower
Deep in the woods outside Jingling Temple, Mo Xiuyao was alone, leaning back in his wheelchair with his eyes closed, resting his mind. The faint slanting sunlight shone through the treetops onto his body, giving the still chilly early spring a hint of warmth.
"Xiu Yao." Ye Li approached and saw the thin and tired face of the man leaning on the wheelchair. She shuddered and felt a little guilty and worried. Mo Xiu Yao opened his eyes and looked up at her. He was stunned for a moment before smiling and said, "No wonder so many people can't find Ah Li. If I don't look carefully, I probably won't recognize Ah Li." Ye Li walked up to him, looked into Mo Xiu Yao's eyes with an inclusive smile, and said in a deep voice, "Sorry, I made you worry."
"Are you not ready to go back, A'li?" Mo Xiuyao looked at Ye Li calmly and gently, and asked softly.
Ye Li shook her head, looked at him and said, "I want to go to Southern Xinjiang."
Mo Xiuyao frowned, "Ah Li, if you are worried about Brother Xu, I will let Feng San go to Nanjiang to assist him." Ye Li shook her head and said, "Leng Haoyu is not in the capital. There are only Feng Zhiyao and Mo Zongguan helping you in the capital. How can you send Feng Zhiyao out? Besides, it is not a good time for me to go back now, right?" If I go back now, I must find out who did it in the palace. Just like Mo Jingli said, even for the face of Dingguo Palace, it is impossible to let the people who kidnapped Princess Dingguo go unpunished. And once Dingguo Palace targets Mo Jingli, then Mo Jingqi will be the one who benefits. It is better to be like this now. Princess Dingguo is missing in the palace. No matter what is reasonable, it is on the side of Dingguo Palace. Let Mo Jingli and Mo Jingqi fight among themselves. Although Mo Jingli knew that she had escaped, he still swallowed this humiliation. He couldn't admit that he had kidnapped the princess and she had escaped from his hands, right?
"A Li, if you feel bored in the capital, you can go to Yunzhou. I will pick you up and take you back to the capital when things are over, okay?" Mo Xiu Yao pulled Ye Li in front of him and asked with his head raised.
Ye Li bit her lips lightly and looked at Mo Xiuyao firmly. She knew that this man wanted to protect her, but even if she felt warm and moved, she was not a weak woman who could stand behind a man and watch others go through life and death. Moreover, it was not just for Mo Xiuyao, her relatives and her brother were also involved in this dispute. In the foreseeable future, there might also be her loving uncle and elderly grandfather.
"I will bring secret guards with me and won't put myself in danger." Ye Li rejected Mo Xiuyao's proposal in a low voice.
A hint of disappointment could be clearly seen in Mo Xiuyao's gentle eyes, and Ye Li quickly turned away. After six months of getting along, she had gradually gotten used to Mo Xiuyao's gentle and indifferent voice and breath. Mo Xiuyao seldom asked her for anything, but Ye Li suddenly realized that even the requests that Mo Xiuyao rarely made were rarely fulfilled by her. In any sense, she did not seem to be a qualified good wife, "Ali, I'm sorry. It's all because of me..."
"No!" Ye Li interrupted him, "I know I can stay in a safe place if I want, and you will arrange everything for me. But... Xiu Yao, I don't want that. I don't want to hide behind you. If I am destined to be with someone for the rest of my life, I hope I can stand by his side instead of hiding under his wings. Do you... understand?"
Mo Xiuyao's fingers trembled slightly, and after a long while, he whispered, "Then... be careful. Ah Li." He then took out a piece of warm jade tied with red silk and placed it in Ye Li's hand, smiling faintly, "Keep it, don't lose it." Ye Li played with the warm jade in her hand, a dragon and a liar carved from the finest white jade. Even though it was carved from warm white jade, one could still feel the dragon's domineering arrogance and the stern murderousness of the liar. Ye Li held it in her hand and looked at Mo Xiuyao, "This?"
Mo Xiuyao smiled faintly and said, "I have wanted to give this jade pendant passed down from my ancestors to Ah Li a long time ago. Don't lose it. It is a family heirloom just like the Cloud-Sucking Sword."
Ye Li was speechless and silently put away the jade pendant.
As he watched Ye Li's back disappear outside the woods, the gentle smile on Mo Xiuyao's face gradually disappeared. He lowered his eyes to look at his long-crippled legs, and waves of hostility and unwillingness surged in his indifferent eyes.
"Bang!" With a wave of his hand, a tree as thick as a bowl broke down not far away. Mo Xiuyao coughed a few times, leaning on the wheelchair with a tired face and breathing slightly, "It really is... garbage..."
"With your current health, you'd better not get angry easily." Shen Yang walked out of the woods and frowned as he looked at the tree trunk on the ground. He walked over to Mo Xiuyao and saw, as expected, that the snow-white handkerchief in his hand was stained with a little scarlet. A-Jian followed behind Shen Yang and looked at Mo Xiuyao worriedly.
"The princess is a very special woman. The prince should be happy to have married such a princess." Glancing at the direction where Ye Li left, Shen Yang said thoughtfully.
Mo Xiuyao said coldly, "Are you saying that I should be happy for letting my own princess take the risk personally?"
Shen Yang looked at his tightly clenched hands on his knees, and said in a rare elder's tone: "Although it may hurt the prince's self-esteem, I think the princess does not need too much protection from the prince. The princess now looks much more real and moving than the golden and precious appearance in the palace, isn't it? Or, does Prince Ding like a woman who depends on you like a dodder in everything, just like ordinary people?"
"That's enough." Mo Xiuyao said in a deep voice, "I know what to do. Return home!"
A-Jian walked forward and pushed Mo Xiuyao to the other side of the woods. Shen Yang shook his head and followed behind.
Prince Le Palace
Mo Jingli sat in the study room and stared at the person kneeling in front of him with a sinister look, "Are you saying that you still haven't found any trace of Ye Li?"
The middle-aged man kneeling on the ground clearly felt Mo Jingli's anger, and secretly complained in his heart, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have sent people to search the area within a hundred miles where Princess Ding disappeared, but I didn't find any trace of Princess Ding." Mo Jingli snorted coldly, "Ye Li has never returned to Prince Ding's Mansion, the Ye family, or the Xu family. Could it be that she can fly?" The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, although we tampered with the horse, Princess Ding seems to have discovered this. She let the horse run in two directions, east and west, and led away the people we were chasing. So... now..."
"So you are now telling me that your brains are not as good as a woman's?" Mo Jingli sneered and sneered.
The middle-aged man lowered his head in shame, but couldn't help complaining in his heart: Is Princess Ding an ordinary woman? The prince has been defeated by her more than once or twice, so it is understandable that they failed, right?
"Get out! Keep a close eye on Prince Ding's Mansion. I don't believe Ye Li won't go back!" After sending his subordinates out, Mo Jingli fell into deep thought. It was indeed beyond Mo Jingli's expectation that Ye Li did not return to the mansion after escaping. But he didn't know whether he should be relieved or angry. This choice was like asking him to choose between facing Prince Ding's Mansion or his brother, the emperor. If Ye Li returns to Prince Ding's Mansion safely, then neither he nor Mo Xiuyao can retreat. By then, the one who will benefit will still be his brother, the emperor sitting high on the dragon throne. And now... Mo Xiuyao is busy looking for Ye Li everywhere, and from time to time he causes trouble for Mo Jingqi. It seems that he should take this opportunity... But if he and Mo Jingqi both suffer losses...
"My Lord, what's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?" The pretty girl came out from inside and looked at Mo Jingli with a smile on her face.
"Ye Li hasn't returned yet. The tracking drug you used is useless. Ye Li is missing now." Mo Jingli said solemnly, looking at the cute young girl in front of him. Xiaoyun, who had changed out of her simple maid's clothes and looked even more coquettish, had a strange look in her eyes and said in surprise, "This Princess Ding is quite capable. The soul-chasing incense I used can't even be detected by the most famous poison master." Xiaoyun tilted her head and pinched the small braid on her chest, blinked and looked at Mo Jingli and said, "Do you need me to find Princess Ding? I will definitely find her."
Mo Jingli glanced at her, "Looking for her? If you find her, can you come back?" Mo Jingli felt that after several confrontations, he still couldn't fully figure out Ye Li's depth, and the four secret guards around her were definitely not simple. Xiaoyun was killed by someone and even her body couldn't be found. "You stay in the palace and don't run around. If you ruin my plan, I won't care whether I can explain it to your sister." Xiaoyun bit her lip and stared at Mo Jingli with resentment. Unfortunately, Mo Jingli was not a kind person who sympathized with women. He snorted coldly, picked up the book on the table and looked down, completely ignoring Xiaoyun. Xiaoyun's eyes turned, and she walked over to Mo Jingli and said with a low laugh, "Brother Jingli, can I help you poison Mo Xiuyao and the emperor?"
"If you want to die, go ahead and try." Mo Jingli said. She thought no one had tried to poison and assassinate Mo Xiuyao in all these years? But Mo Xiuyao is still alive and well with his sick and disabled body. On the contrary, those killers have long gone and no one knows where their bodies are.
Jiangnan Guangling City
Compared to the chilly spring in the north, the south of the Yangtze River in early March is already a scene of blooming flowers and prosperity. Guangling City is the largest city in the south and also the old capital of the previous dynasty. Although the previous dynasty has long been forgotten, Guangling City's position as the political, economic and cultural center of the south has not been shaken. In addition, because Taizu also established the capital here in the early years, although the capital was later moved to the north, Guangling City was also preserved as a secondary capital. Compared with the political and military status of Chujing, Guangling City is more inclined to culture and economy. Three of the four richest businessmen in Dachu live in Guangling City. This shows that Guangling is far richer than Chujing in the north.
In the night, Ye Li leisurely strolled on the noisy streets filled with the smell of powder. The streets were noisy and full of the smell of wine and rouge, and the sound of silk and bamboo was heard. An San followed Ye Li awkwardly and pushed away the passionate and gentle women on the street who wanted to pull him and his princess away from time to time, and secretly complained in his heart. If he had known that the princess would run to such a place, he would not have fought with the boss to change. Wuwu... If the prince knew that he followed the princess to visit the brothel, he would definitely kill him.
Ye Li walked and looked back from time to time to admire An San's embarrassment. Just when An San was about to give up, she finally stopped and said with a smile: "We're here."
An San heaved a sigh of relief and looked up at the roadside. In the night, standing next to the quiet lake was an elegant and refined pavilion. On the plaque above the door were a few large characters written in the shape of flying dragons and phoenixes - Qingfeng Mingyue Pavilion.
As a specially trained secret guard of the Dingguo Palace, An San certainly knew what Qingfeng Mingyue Tower was. It was the best brothel in the world. It was said that it had the most fragrant wine, the best delicacies, and the most beautiful and talented women. It was the gentle place that every man dreamed of and would rather indulge in. "Sir?"
Ye Li looked at him and smiled, "Why? The best restaurant in the world is not in your eyes?"
An San smiled bitterly, "Master, are we really going in?"
Ye Li smiled and said, "Do you think I'm taking you here for a walk? Let's go." Opening the folding fan in her hand, Ye Li stepped into the Qingfeng Mingyue Tower with a smile.
Since Qingfeng Mingyue Building could become the best brothel in the world, it must have its own extraordinary features. As soon as I stepped into the lobby, it was not the vulgar and heavily made-up old procuress who came to greet me, but two young women with light eyebrows and beautiful makeup. Seeing Ye Li in an ice-blue brocade dress with silver silk cloud pattern, a top-grade jade pendant embedded on his white belt, and a folding fan in his fingers with a leisurely demeanor, it was obvious that he had an extraordinary demeanor, so I hurriedly greeted him, "I have met you, young master. This young master looks unfamiliar. Is this your first time in Qingfeng Mingyue Building?"
Ye Li nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, this young master has just arrived in Jiangnan. I have long admired the reputation of Qingfeng Mingyue Tower and wanted to come and see it for myself."
The woman smiled and said, "Sir, your presence is truly a great honor to our humble home. Please go to the private room to enjoy the singing and dancing and see if there is anything you like."
Ye Li smiled and said, "I heard that the director of the noble building is not only good at singing and dancing. Miss, why don't you introduce some interesting things to him?"
This woman is in charge of the reception work of Qingfeng Mingyue Tower, so she must be a very insightful person. After taking a look at Ye Li, although her clothes and demeanor are extraordinary, her age is definitely not more than thirteen years old. Some thirteen-year-old young boys are very interested in warm fragrance and warm jade, but there are indeed some who have not yet opened their minds. Looking at the young man's eyebrows and eyes, there is a sense of pride and pride. I guess he must be a young man from a family who is out to have fun. The woman smiled and said, "The young man looks down on the girls of our Mingyue Tower, but it will make them sad. The girls of our Mingyue Tower are indeed not only proficient in singing and dancing, but I don't know what the young man likes?"
Ye Li frowned and said, "I originally wanted to gamble a few times, but the casino in Guangling City is a bit too noisy. All kinds of people are mixed together, which is really disappointing."
The woman pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "In that case, please follow me, sir."
An San, who was following behind Ye Li like a wooden stake, moved his lips to say something, but closed his mouth awkwardly in the face of Ye Li's warm smile like a spring breeze. Even brothels have come in, so what else is there to be afraid of in a casino?
The casino in Qingfeng Mingyue Tower is naturally different from the ordinary casinos outside. Whether it is the tea server or the dealer, they are all women. As soon as you enter the hall, the first thing you see is a beautiful woman in purple holding a dice cup and shaking it. Many gamblers gathered around. Ye Li smiled. Betting on the size is the most monotonous but also the most classic way to play in the casino. In addition, the dealer is a stunning beauty, which can naturally attract countless people to invest money.
The woman leading the way naturally saw Ye Li's eyes and immediately smiled and said, "This girl is Miss Rumei, one of the twelve top girls in Qingfeng Mingyue Tower. She is best at shaking the dice. Even our owner of the tower praised her skill." After saying that, the woman
She also introduced some of the situations in this casino to Ye Li very considerately. For example, among the twelve top players in Qingfeng Mingyue Tower, three girls were the bankers in this casino. Moreover, these three girls were all prostitutes, and only those who beat them in gambling could become their guests.
So far no one has succeeded.
Ye Li laughed dumbly. Han Mingyue was indeed very good at making money. Most men visit brothels for the sake of beauty. But those who can enter Qingfeng Mingyue Building are mostly wealthy and powerful people who have seen all kinds of beauties. Setting up such a casino is naturally more convenient than a
Men all have a desire to conquer, and those men who have money and nothing to do will naturally not hesitate to spend a fortune if they want to have sex with a beautiful woman.
"Asan, what do you think of Miss Rumei?" Ye Li pointed at the purple-clothed woman not far away with her folding fan and turned around to ask with a smile.
An San tried hard to keep his face straight and replied woodenly, "Sir, of course she is a beauty."
"Yes, I think so too." Holding his chin on the folding fan, Ye Li smiled and said, "Why don't we have a few words at night, maybe we can..."
"Young Master, your family will be unhappy." An San gritted his teeth and reminded him.
"I know, so... I will give you the chance to have sex with her." Ye Li looked at An San's inky face with a smile, and walked towards the gambling table over there in a happy mood.
Miss Rumei was shaking the dice and looking at the gamblers gathered around with a smile on her lips. The greed and desire in these men's eyes made her disdainful in her heart, but her smile was more charming. Ye Li who suddenly squeezed in front of her made her stunned for a moment. It was only ten minutes later.
The three or four-year-old boy was wearing fine clothes and accessories, which showed that he was from an extraordinary family. His clear eyes made her feel that he was different from others, and she smiled at him, "Young Master, do you want to suppress it?"
Ye Li tilted his head and looked around. It was indeed the best casino in the world. The stakes on the table were at least fifty taels. The money these rich people bet casually for entertainment was enough for ordinary people to live for half a year. The gamblers next to him saw that the person who squeezed in was a
The young children couldn't help but show contempt and mockery in their eyes, and many people even made mocking noises. Ye Li didn't care. She took out a fifty-liang silver ingot and threw it on the table, saying with a smile, "I'm betting big!"
Rumei smiled and glanced at the gamblers around her. There was actually no difference between the wealthy merchants and the hawkers in the casino. They all started to shout, "Big! Big!"
"Little! Little! Little..."
Her red lips slightly raised as she lifted her hand to open the dice cup on the table and said with a smile, "Two, four, four, small."
Some were happy while others were sad. Ye Li didn't care about the fifty taels she lost, and patiently waited for the next round. This time she bet fifty taels again, and it was still big. She opened the dice again, and it was still small. The third time, Ye Li increased her bet to two hundred taels, and she bet on big again. It didn't take much time to roll the dice. In just a quarter of an hour, Ye Li had already lost nearly two thousand taels. The gamblers beside her looked at this generous young man in surprise, guessing which family he was from.
"Sir, are you still going to take custody?" Rumei asked while looking at Ye Li with a smile.
Ye Li raised his hand and looked back. An San, who was standing behind Ye Li, took out a stack of banknotes and handed them to Ye Li. There were a total of 20,000 taels of silver in various sizes. An San looked at Ye Li throwing the banknotes on the table without any regret, acting like a rich young master who was generous, and his heart was throbbing. It is true that the Dingguo Palace has money, but they don’t have much money now. When leaving Beijing, the master only brought 20,000 taels of silver and some small change on him. 20,000 taels is a lot, enough for the five of them to travel comfortably to southern Xinjiang several times. But in the casino, 20,000 taels is not too much. With his master’s attitude, he can lose it all in less than an hour.
Ye Li added another five hundred taels.
"Young master, do you want to bet on big or small?" Rumei asked.
Ye Li smiled and said, "This young master doesn't like the small one, so I bet on the big one."
So all the gamblers placed their bets in the opposite direction of him. Anyone with eyes could see how unlucky this young master was. After losing about 10,000 taels again, Ye Li finally smiled with satisfaction. When Rumei closed the dice cup again, she smiled and shook her head and said, "This time, I won't follow." Amid the boos and noise of the crowd, Rumei opened the dice cup, "Three sixes, all dead!" The whole audience wailed.
Another round started, and Ye Li had raised the bet to 1,000 taels per bet. This time, however, it was different from the previous bad luck, and Ye Li seemed to be assisted by God, "Little!"
The dice cup is opened, one, two, four, small!
"big"
Five, five, six, big!
"big!"
…
In less than half an hour, the table in front of Ye Li was already piled with thick banknotes and silver ingots. An San brought a chair for Ye Li to sit on from somewhere. Ye Li leaned comfortably on the chair and smiled at Rumei's increasingly pale face. With an innocent smile, he took out the banknote in his hand and said, "30,000 taels, Xiao!"
The slender fingers paused for a moment, and slowly opened the dice cup. Everyone stared at the dice cup that slowly left the table, "One, one, two, small!"
An San, who was standing behind Ye Li, looked at the additional banknotes on the table with worry. Just now he was worried that if the princess lost all the money, they would have to return to the capital in disgrace, but now he was worried that if the princess won too much, they would not be able to leave Qingfeng Mingyue Tower.
He rested his head on his hand without changing his expression, and watched Rumei's movements leisurely, "All in. Big!"
Everyone present took a deep breath. The silver bills and ingots in front of Ye Li added up to more than 100,000 taels. If the bet was right, of course, a full purse would be won. If the bet was wrong, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver would be wasted. Even though everyone present was rich, few had the courage to bet hundreds of thousands of taels. After all, their money was hard-earned and not dropped from the sky. Beads of sweat began to appear on the flawless forehead, and the beautiful eyes staring at Ye Li were filled with shock and inquiry. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he slowly reached out and uncovered the dice cup, and everyone exclaimed, "Three threes!"
His eyebrows and hands trembled, and his face turned as pale as paper.
"Young master is so powerful." Rumei said with a sad look.
Ye Li smiled but said nothing. In order to carry out an undercover mission, she had specially learned gambling techniques from a gambling king for several months. The other party even praised her for her talent. And with her eyesight and hearing, Rumei could not cheat in front of her. Of course, Ye Li thought that in a place like Qingfeng Mingyue Tower, the banker would not cheat for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. If so, it would be too damaging to the reputation of Han Mingyue's Qingfeng Mingyue Tower. However, if she won again, it would not be certain. After all, Han Mingyue's reputation for loving money like his life seemed to be as famous as his Qingfeng Mingyue Tower.
"Sir, our host invites you to come in and tell us about the story." When Ye Li was hesitating whether to continue, a young man who looked like a manager came out, bowed to Ye Li and said with a smile.
Ye Li's eyes rolled and he said with a smile, "Mr. Mingyue has invited me, and I am honored to be here. But... Qingfeng Mingyue Tower will not commit murder for money, right?"
The young man's mouth twitched and he smiled a little reluctantly, "Sir, you are joking."
Ye Li stood up, casually handed the banknote to An San, stood up again, brushed off her clothes and said with a smile: "Please lead the way."
The young man led Ye Li and the other into the small courtyard behind the casino. The pavilion overlooking the lake was draped with veils and pleasant piano music was playing.
"Owner."
"Go away. Why don't you come in and talk to this young man?" The piano stopped playing, and a deep and pleasant male voice came from the water pavilion. Ye Li raised her eyebrows slightly. Seeing the young man respectfully leave, Ye Li laughed loudly and said, "It is a great honor for the owner of Mingyue Tower to invite me." After saying that, he threw a look at An San who stayed outside, walked forward, lifted the layers of gauze curtains and walked in.
In the water pavilion, a handsome man in a dark red brocade robe was lazily leaning against the piano table, with an evil charm flowing between his handsome eyebrows. Seeing Ye Li coming in, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I didn't expect that the one who could beat Rumei was such a young man. He is really a rare young hero. Dare I ask your name?" Ye Li smiled and said, "How dare I? My little tricks are not worth mentioning. My surname is Chu, Jun Wei."
"Chu Junwei? Nice name. But... I haven't heard of any young master with the surname Chu in the Great Chu who has such a magnanimous demeanor as you. If it's the Chu family of Xiling... you don't look like a Xiling person." Han Mingyue stared at Ye Li and looked at him. Ye Li didn't care, and found a place to sit down comfortably, and said with a smile: "I am a small family, I dare not bother Young Master Mingyue to listen."
Han Mingyue snorted and said, "A poor family? I don't think so."
Ye Li waved her fan and smiled calmly, "What's so strange about this? From what I see, you don't look like the legendary Master Mingyue."
"Oh?" Han Mingyue raised her eyebrows in interest, a sharp gleam flashing in her eyes, "I wonder what the Master Mingyue you heard about is like?"
Ye Li smiled and said, "I heard that Master Mingyue is very elegant and handsome. He is a rare and beautiful young man in the world." Han Mingyue frowned and said, "Did I disappoint Master Chu?" Ye Li lowered his eyebrows and smiled, "As far as I know, Master Mingyue will never sit like this in front of strangers." Looking at the handsome man kneeling beside the piano table with a lazy and evil look, Ye Li couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Judging from their appearance alone, Han Mingyue and Han Mingxi are at least 80% alike. If you really want to fool others, you may not be able to do it. However, the person in front of him obviously has no intention of concealing it, or he doesn't think that a 13 or 14-year-old stranger has met Han Mingyue in person. It's a pity that she has not only met Han Mingyue, but also Han Mingxi.
"It seems that Master Chu has determined that I am not Han Mingyue?" Han Mingxi stood up, staring at Ye Li with cold eyes.
Ye Li smiled and said, "Sir, why are you so angry? You tricked me into coming in under the name of Master Mingyue. Shouldn't I be the one who should be angry?"
Han Mingxi sneered, "Mr. Chu, why do you have to pretend? You are so generous in Mingyue Tower just to attract the attention of the owner. You can tell me why now. Maybe I will agree to your request if I am in a good mood."
Ye Li raised her eyebrows. "Sir, can you be the master of Qingfeng Mingyue Tower? Or... can you be the master of Tianyi Pavilion?"
As soon as the three words "Tianyi Pavilion" came out, Han Mingqing's eyes shot towards Ye Li like a sword, and his evil handsome face suddenly became a little colder, "Who are you?" There are many people in this world who know Tianyi Pavilion, and there are even more people who know Qingfeng Mingyue Tower. But there are definitely not many people who know that the owner of Qingfeng Mingyue Tower and the owner of Tianyi Pavilion are the same person. Ye Li lowered his head and said, "Before you ask me, you should at least tell me whether I can make the decision or not? What if I spend a lot of time talking and you can't make the decision, wouldn't that be a waste of both of our time?"
Han Mingxi glared at Ye Li and snorted, "Han Mingyue is not in Jiangnan now. I can make the decision whether it is Qingfeng Mingyue Tower or Tianyi Pavilion. Do you understand?"
Ye Li clapped his hands and said with a smile, "That's great. I haven't asked for your name yet."
"Han Mingxi." Han Mingxi gritted his teeth. Of course he would not tell him what his nickname was. After all, the title of Fengyue Young Master was not a good reputation for either men or women.
Ye Li raised his hand and rubbed his brows, then said thoughtfully, "So he is Master Mingyue's...brother? No wonder he looks so much like Master Mingyue."
"Have you met my elder brother?" Han Mingxi stared at her with a frown.
Ye Li remained calm and smiled, "Well... I met Master Mingyue once when he was young. I have a good memory and have always admired Master Mingyue's style." Han Mingxi curled his lips. His elder brother was indeed very prominent when he was young, but he was in Chujing, so people in Jiangnan didn't know much about him. But... which one is the latter? Is this kid five years old? Ye Li didn't care what Han Mingxi was thinking, "I came from a long way, and you didn't even give me a cup of tea. This is not the way to treat guests."
Han Mingxi stared at him for a long while, then slowly forced out a sinister smile, "You can drink tea if you want, or ask for a favor if you want, but you have to defeat me first!"
