"Sir, here are your hot water and meals."
The waiter came back, carrying something and knocked on the door.
Ye Xin closed the window, walked over to the stool and sat down, "Come in."
After getting permission, the waiter opened the door and brought a large bucket of hot water into the room with another waiter.
After putting the hot water in, the waiter walked back to the door and brought in the basket that was outside.
He put the basket on the table and took out the food one by one and placed it in front of Ye Xin.
"Sir, please enjoy your meal. If you need anything, please feel free to tell me."
The waiter wiped the sweat from his neck, introduced their signature dishes in detail, and then walked out with another waiter.
Ye Xin held a bowl of rice and stared at the steaming food on the table in deep thought.
The martial arts conference has ended for several days. Yu Zexiu left after losing the competition on the first day. How come we meet here by chance? Could this be the property of Tianji Tower?
If so, then they already knew about her coming in.
What was Yu Zexiu's guard doing at the government office? What was the token he was holding?
It seems that there is no other position that can make an official so respectful except being an official himself.
The people around Yu Zexiu are officials, so what is his own identity?
If her previous guess was true, it couldn't be just the owner of Tianji Tower. There was an eighty to ninety percent chance that he was some kind of royal relative.
Ye Xin moved her gaze from the table to the wooden board under her feet. The private room under her feet seemed to be the one next to Yu Zexiu.
She thought for a while, then released her mental power to penetrate into the lower room.
The private room below was indeed next to Yu Zexiu, and the sounds from the next room could be heard clearly in this room.
Ye Xin used his mental power to scan the private room next door, and saw a man wearing a silver mask sitting at the table. Opposite him was a man with two wisps of beard.
The man was holding a brush in his hand, writing and drawing on the rice paper on the table, and next to him were several finished portraits.
Ye Xin took a closer look and found that the painting was of a woman.
The woman was holding a hollow sword and standing on the ring, looking ahead indifferently.
Ye Xin:...........
Why did Yu Zexiu draw her? Or the scene where she released the sword energy in the ring? Could this person be thinking about her?
Ye Xin shook her shoulders. Why was Yu Zexiu suddenly so wretched? He didn't lose the match to her, so why was he seeking revenge? Are you too good to play?
"Your Highness, Ziwang has really tried his best."
After Lu Xuyan finished the last stroke, he put down the brush and rubbed his aching wrist.
Yu Zexiu took the half-dried portrait in front of him and carefully examined it in front of his eyes.
This portrait of a woman still doesn't capture half of Ye Xin's true appearance, but it looks much better than the portrait next to it, at least it has a little more charm.
"That's all! It's barely acceptable."
The corners of Lu Xuyan's mouth twitched. This was still barely acceptable, but how stunning would the real person be!
"Your Highness, you didn't lose the duel and want to take it out on this woman, did you?"
Lu Xuyan spoke boldly and teased the other party slightly.
Yu Zexiu glanced at him, took off the silver mask on his face, revealing his handsome face underneath the mask.
"Although I didn't get the position of leader, I'm not someone who can't stand losing."
"Then what do you want to do? You have to have a reason to look for her!"
Lu Xuyan became even more curious after hearing this. If it wasn’t revenge, then what else could it be?
If His Highness had no particular intention, he would not have called him from so far away and asked him to draw at least five portraits in a row.
His Royal Highness Prince Cheng doesn't seem like such a boring person.
Having his thoughts seen through, Yu Zexiu simply put down the portrait and rubbed his brows. "The Empress Dowager's birthday is coming soon. She loves these martial arts proficient women the most. If I can bring them back to the palace, the Empress Dowager will definitely be delighted."
"Your Highness is truly filial to the Empress Dowager. I believe your wish will be fulfilled."
Lu Xuyan understood the reason and couldn't help but admire His Highness's good intentions.
He had just heard His Highness describe the scene on the woman's stage, and he was shocked beyond measure. If the Empress Dowager, whose life was consumed by martial arts, knew about this person, she would definitely look upon His Highness with new eyes.
“Knock, knock.”
As soon as the two finished talking, there was a knock on the door.
Yu Zexiu and Lu Xuyan looked at each other and quickly put away the rice paper on the table.
Lu Xuyan took out a fan, opened it and pointed it at the door. "Who?"
A slightly rough voice sounded outside the door, "Your Highness."
It was the guard who had just left. Lu Xuyan closed his fan and sat back next to Yu Zexiu.
"Come in."
Yu Zexiu took out the portrait again without even raising his head.
"Crack~"
A masked guard pushed the door open and entered. He closed the door and took out a folded piece of rice paper from his arms.
"Your Highness, the truth has been revealed. A tragic incident occurred in a noodle shop not far from Xicheng. Four people who were eating noodles there were murdered. Their deaths were horrific, all stabbed to death. The murderer was a woman wielding a sword."
"woman?"
The first person Yu Zexiu thought of was Ye Xin. He opened the paper and quickly read through its contents.
Only after he finished reading did he erase Ye Xin from his mind.
The murderer is wearing a veil, so it's not Ye Xin.
Although Yu Zexiu had only met Ye Xin once, he was certain that Ye Xin would never walk around wearing a veil. If she wanted to hide her face, she wouldn't stand out at the martial arts conference.
