"Me, explain? But I don't know how to explain!"
"Why don't you tell him? Tell Young Master Zhou what we're here for?"
Under the watchful eyes of the Zhou family, a dozen or so people held teacups, unsure whether to drink or not.
Standing in the center of the lobby, Zhou Cheng only needed to glance around to see that the dozen or so women looked extremely uneasy, their body language revealing tension and panic.
What are they nervous about?
How could he possibly end up at Chenggui Pavilion?
"Are you all here for Miss Cheng too?" Seeing that the group was stammering and unable to give a coherent answer, the black horse standing at the back suddenly blurted out this question.
The female members' eyes lit up.
As if they had found a savior, they nodded repeatedly: "Ah, yes, yes, we also came for Sister Cheng."
"That shouldn't be the case. You're in the capital, how would you know about Miss Cheng's disappearance? And this isn't just any place, it's Cheng Gui Pavilion. What exactly are you here for?" Black Horse asked suspiciously.
It was at this time that...
Orange Smoke rushed over.
As soon as she rushed into the lobby, she quickly smoothed things over for the female members and changed the subject: "They're all here to gather information, but Young Master Zhou's sudden visit to Chenggui Pavilion, is there something you need?"
As soon as Zhou Cheng turned around, he saw Cheng Yan staring intently at the black horse's face from a great distance, her eyes half-closed.
Then!
She was still standing in front of the dark horse.
After getting within three meters, Cheng Yan's face showed a hint of disappointment. She then whispered to her subordinate beside her, "This Young Master Zhou isn't fair-skinned at all. Why did he look so fair on the street? Was it just the lighting?"
Subordinate: "You've mistaken me for someone else. The one who spoke is a trusted confidant of the Zhou family. Young Master Zhou is that person."
Cheng Yan's expression changed.
He quickly turned his head to look at Zhou Cheng.
He stood in the very center, his skin tone not much different from the female member's, causing her, even from dozens of meters away, to glance over and have all her attention drawn to the black horse who had spoken.
So embarrassing!
Cheng Yan coughed and explained, "My eyesight isn't very good, please don't take offense, Young Master Zhou."
"It's alright." Young Master Zhou withdrew his slightly surprised gaze. He had been in ancient times for so long, but this was the first time he had ever seen someone so nearsighted that they couldn't distinguish between men and women from dozens of meters away.
Shouldn't the department store have eyeglasses?
uncertain.
First, ask about the important matter. Depending on the situation, you can give her a gift later: "I did come to Cheng Gui Pavilion because I have something to ask. My fiancée, Cheng Xianyi, left outside Jiangling City half a month ago and there has been no news of her since."
"May I ask if Cheng Gui Pavilion can find out her whereabouts?"
"If I could, I would give up everything."
"besides--"
Zhou Cheng's unfathomable black eyes slowly fell on the female members, making their hearts tremble: "These dozen or so ladies have a good relationship with my fiancée, and I have met them once before."
"I wonder what brings them to Cheng Gui Pavilion? They can just say so, and maybe I can help them resolve the issue."
Oh my god!!
I hope the Pavilion Master is doing well!
How is she supposed to smooth things over?
Cheng Yan was in a state of panic. She glanced up and saw Zi Yan waving at her from behind the door. Did Zi Yan have something to say?
She quickly realized what was happening, told Zhou Cheng to wait for her, and then ran to the back door.
"What do you mean? What do you mean?" Orange Smoke slammed the door shut and anxiously asked Purple Smoke.
Ziyan offered her advice, saying, "We definitely need to smooth things over! We should take this opportunity to change Young Master Zhou's impression of Chenggui Pavilion, and hopefully even make him feel good about it."
"Okay, when you go out later, just say... and then... finally..."
"Did you remember that?!"
Cheng Yan nodded, looked at Zi Yan with admiration, and quickly opened the door and went out.
As soon as she stepped out, she abruptly interrupted Young Master Zhou: "Hahaha, our Cheng Gui Pavilion has a wide network in the Central Plains. It will be very difficult for you to find Miss Cheng's whereabouts."
"But for us, it's just a matter of putting in a little effort."
"Moreover, Cheng Gui Pavilion has always wanted to be on good terms with the Zhou family. Since Young Master Zhou personally spoke up, Cheng Gui Pavilion accepted this task."
"As for this group of people... well, it's like this, they..."
The female member whispered a hint: "We came for Sister Cheng."
"Haha, yes, they're actually here for Miss Cheng too. This group of people somehow learned a secret: they heard that Nanyue Academy has produced a treasure called Human Skin Disguise."
"By putting on a human skin mask, you can change your appearance."
"Miss Cheng is as beautiful as an angel and has such a good fiancé. They are envious and want to make a human skin mask in the shape of Miss Cheng in order to become even more beautiful."
"So, they came to Chenggui Pavilion as a group, seeking materials for human skin masks, hoping that Chenggui Pavilion could customize one for them."
