A few days later, in the evening, Feng Qinghuang first went to the Underworld Pavilion to see Rong Qi.
Because Rong Qi has been in seclusion in the Underworld Pavilion's secret chamber these past few days, preparing for a breakthrough, Feng Qinghuang comes to the Underworld Pavilion whenever she has time to talk to Hong Wu and check on Rong Qi's situation.
After staying for a while, he set off for Dark Night Pavilion to give Dark Night some instructions and do some things.
Arriving at the back door of Dark Night Pavilion, Feng Qinghuang, as always, leaped to the third floor. The moment the window on the third floor opened, Dark Night knew that his unreliable master had arrived.
After knocking and entering in the dark, the first thing the master said upon seeing him was, "Master, could you please use the main entrance next time?"
Feng Qinghuang shook her head: "No, this is more convenient. Coming in through the main entrance and then having to go up to the third floor under the watchful eyes of so many people is too troublesome."
As soon as Feng Qinghuang finished speaking, An Ye rolled her eyes. Every time her master came, she acted like a thief, as if An Ye Tower didn't belong to her.
Sigh, you could say she's the master, but she rarely comes over—often once every ten days or half a month. I'm getting paid to run errands, but I'm doing the work of a master. It's so hard.
Feng Qinghuang found An Ye's speechless expression amusing; she could only imagine how dissatisfied An Ye was with her.
"Alright, enough with the banter. I'm here today to tell you something."
Feng Qinghuang took out the blueprints she had drawn over the past few days from her spatial storage and handed them to An Ye.
"These are my thoughts over the past few days. Do you see if there's anything I need to revise?"
After examining it carefully, An Ye asked in confusion, "Master, are you planning to renovate An Ye Tower?"
Feng Qinghuang raised her finger and shook it from side to side: "No, no, no, I want to open branches of the Dark Night Pavilion in the Holy Feather Kingdom, the Azure Blue Kingdom, and the Indian Kingdom respectively."
Upon hearing his master's insane decision, An Ye inwardly exclaimed, "Is my master trying to fly to the heavens?" Although the four-nation peace agreement had just been signed, it was still rare to see people openly conducting cross-border business.
But then I thought about it again, and it must have been her master's senior brothers who gave her the courage, after all, they were all prominent and important figures from various countries.
"Has the master already made a decision?"
Feng Qinghuang nodded: "That's right, Dark Night, although I am just a nobody, I have a big dream. My dream is to spread Dark Night Pavilion and Bright Moon Tower throughout the four kingdoms, and even every city-state."
"Mingyue Tower?"
Feng Qinghuang nodded with a smile: "Hehe, An Ye, you don't know yet, do you? Mingyue Tower is now also your master's place."
A sob escaped in the darkness.
"Well, Master, you're really something," he said. "When someone reported to him about the movements of the four kingdoms, one of them mentioned seeing Mingyue Tower in other kingdoms. He wondered if it was a branch of Mingyue Tower in Qinglong Kingdom!"
Feng Qinghuang beckoned to him, signaling him to come closer.
"You'll probably have to go there yourself for this; I don't trust anyone else. No matter which country you go to, contact my senior brother first. I've already informed them, and they've told you the exact location. Go there yourself. Check out the location and environment first, and then get your people to start renovations. Remember, don't let anyone else know that Dark Night Pavilion has connections with the royal family."
An Ye looked at her with a puzzled expression. "Your senior brothers from Mingyue Tower have all come forward, so why can't An Ye Pavilion and the others show up?"
Feng Qinghuang understood his expression and patted his head: "Are you stupid? It's not wrong for a prince of a country to open a restaurant. But if the people knew that a prince of a country was actually engaged in intelligence gathering and murder, what would they think? So the Dark Night Pavilion can't be run by our senior brothers."
The night was silent. So, Master, you only picked me to trick you?
Oh well, what can I do? She's my master!
"If I go out, what will happen to Dark Night Tower?"
Feng Qinghuang looked at him and said, "Find someone you trust first."
Dark Night grumbled, "Anyway, Master, just ignore it."
Feng Qinghuang comforted him, "Oh dear, An Ye, it's not that I don't care about your master, it's just that your master has too many things to do."
Dark Night thought to himself, "I'd never believe you."
Having finished explaining her business, Feng Qinghuang didn't want to stay any longer. She stood up and smoothed her robes.
He waved to Dark Night and said, "Alright, I'm leaving now. Dark Night, hurry up! I believe in you, good luck!"
Dark Night nodded weakly.
He opened the window, and then disappeared into the distance; his movements were so familiar and fluid.
Helpless, An Ye closed the window and, before leaving the room, made sure to close the door as well. He sighed at the doorway for a while before turning and leaving.
