"Haha, alright then, let's go together!" Baili Huangyi laughed loudly.
Gu Liyan led Baili Huangyi and his group away, completely forgetting about Feng Huaxian...
Feng Huaxian's Room
After taking off her coat and changing clothes, Feng Huaxian's face turned cold when she learned that Baili Huangyi had gone to see the lantern festival with Gu Liyan and Yan Muxue.
Seeing Feng Huaxian's gloomy face, Xiao Cui immediately said, "Sister, this Prince Yan is really too much! He actually stood you up in front of everyone!"
Feng Huaxian snorted coldly and said, "Xiao Cui, it's not the Prince of Yan who went too far. The only one to blame is a certain innocent little girl who has forgotten her original intentions!"
Xiao Cui suddenly realized, "So it was Yan Muxue who did this. I knew she wasn't as innocent as she seemed! That masked guy looked so refined, but I never expected him to be such a lecherous rogue who was actually bewitched by her!"
"Heh, you're mistaken. Maybe Yan Muxue is infatuated with him!" Feng Huaxian said with a smile.
"What? Is that masked guy rich?" Xiao Cui asked suspiciously.
"I don't know if he's rich or not, but the man who saved you has fair and smooth hands and delicate skin, which means he comes from a wealthy family," Feng Huaxian analyzed with a smile. "And look at the aura he exudes and his martial arts skills, which are all extraordinary. In my opinion, that guy might even be more noble than the Prince of Yan!" Feng Huaxian analyzed.
"Huh? Then, doesn't that mean Yan Muxue has struck gold?" Xiao Cui asked anxiously. "Now let's see how you deal with Yan Muxue, sister!"
"Why would I bother with someone who's inferior to me?" Feng Huaxian said confidently. "No matter how capable that little girl is, she's just a little girl following behind others! She's far from being able to fight me!"
“Of course! Sister is the number one dancer in the brothel!” Xiao Cui said.
Feng Huaxian smiled and asked, "Do you think the Prince of Yan will come tonight?"
"It's so late, I'm afraid they won't be coming back?" Xiao Cui thought for a moment and then said.
"It's not too late! As long as Yan Muxue comes back, he will definitely come back!" Feng Huaxian smiled with narrowed eyes. "If a man can't get the woman he wants, he'll want a woman who's even better than her!"
...
Lanterns floated across the lotus pond, like blooming lotus flowers.
"Xiao Li, come and see! This is so beautiful!" Yan Muxue squeezed through the crowd to the shore and excitedly shouted to Gu Liyan behind her.
"Be careful, don't fall!" Gu Liyan warned.
"No way!" Yan Muxue urged, "Come quickly!"
Gu Liyan said to Baili Huangyi beside her, "Excuse me, I'll go first."
"Brother Mo, don't worry about me. Just take good care of your sister-in-law," Baili Huangyi said with a smile.
Gu Liyan nodded and walked towards Yan Muxue's direction.
"Your Majesty, why should we come along? It's not safe here with so many people around," Wang Guozhong said, frowning.
Baili Huangyi smiled and said, "You've seen Mo Li's abilities before. If it were you, could you kill an assassin with a cup?"
"This... I'm incompetent and can't do it!" Wang Guozhong scratched his head sheepishly.
Baili Huangyi looked at Gu Liyan's retreating figure and sneered, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I probably wouldn't have believed that there were such powerful martial artists in this world. Plus, his voice sounds very young. Do you know what that means?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Guozhong suddenly realized, "I understand! Your Majesty means that someone as young as him is so powerful, so his sect must be very strong!"
"Yes, even if I can't win him over, as long as I find out where his master is and go to him to learn from him, I'll definitely be a force to be reckoned with within ten years!" Baili Huangyi squinted at Gu Liyan's direction...
Gu Liyan grabbed Yan Moxue's waist, "Don't go! It's too dangerous!"
"Oh, I'll just take one as a souvenir!" Yan Muxue said, pointing to the lotus lanterns in the pond.
"No! You can't swim, it's too dangerous!" Gu Liyan held Yan Moxue tightly.
Yan Muxue blinked. "How did you know I can't swim?"
"Do you even need to ask? Of course you wouldn't know if you're that stupid!" Gu Liyan said with a smile.
Yan Muxue retorted irritably, "You're the stupid one! Not only are you stupid, but you also like to act like a hooligan!"
Gu Liyan laughed heartily, "But I'll only be a scoundrel with you!"
Yan Muxue's face immediately turned red, and she said shyly, "You're being inappropriate. I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going to go take a look over there!"
As soon as he let go, Yan Muxue disappeared in a flash, like a wild horse that had been released from its reins!
"Wait for me!" Gu Liyan hurriedly chased after him.
Yan Muxue exclaimed with delight as she saw the various jade ornaments displayed at the stall, "Wow, these are all so beautiful!"
"Young lady, you have excellent taste. These are all carved from the finest jade. Look at the quality of this jade bracelet..." the shopkeeper said, pointing to the jade bracelet.
Yan Muxue had no interest; instead, her gaze fell on the red jade pendant, which she held in her hand and felt a faint warmth.
"Boss, how much is this?" Yan Muxue asked.
"This is a family heirloom, it's only for display, not for sale!" The shopkeeper hurriedly snatched it away, as if afraid Yan Muxue would take it away.
"Hey? You've already put it out there, why aren't you selling it yet?" Yan Muxue said irritably.
"Xue'er, what's wrong?" Gu Liyan asked hurriedly when he saw Yan Moxue was angry.
Yan Muxue pointed at the shop owner and said, "I saw a jade pendant that I liked, but who knew he only put it here for people to admire and didn't sell it at all!"
