Chapter 424 Zhou Xinyao, Osmanthus Cake
The person Ji Xinghan is looking for is Zhou Xinyao.
This time, Zhou Xinyao also came. The reason Ji Xinghan asked her to come was because Zhou Xinyao's talent skill was very unique; it was a heavenly voice.
So much time has passed, Zhou Xinyao's skills must have leveled up by now.
Having the Heavenly Mirror is great; it makes finding people much easier. Ji Xinghan immediately searched the live stream window and found Zhou Xinyao.
The window opened to reveal a magnificent little hall.
There were nine beautiful girls in the hall, dressed in pretty light red dance costumes, some sitting and some standing.
Zhou Xinyao stood up and danced a short dance with the two girls before going back to sit down.
After they sat down, three more girls stood up and practiced dancing.
The girls sitting down were talking amongst themselves:
"Why aren't you going on stage yet? You've been practicing for so long."
"Shh, I just heard that the groom ran away, so the wedding ceremony can't take place."
"What? The groom ran away? The bride must be terribly worried!"
"Someone is looking for us secretly, but the guests in the banquet hall have no idea and are still eating and drinking."
"Ugh, I'm exhausted!"
Ji Xinghan understood. These girls were preparing to perform at the wedding, but the wedding was delayed, so they had to practice over and over again.
For Zhou Xinyao, her task is to practice dancing.
The groom has disappeared, so the wedding can't take place at all.
But where is this small hall?
Ji Xinghan scrutinized the area closely but couldn't find anything amiss.
She thought for a moment, her eyes darted around, and she stood up to find Chef Zhang.
She picked through the pearls, found a string of pearls she had taken from the bride, and handed it to Zhang the cook, saying, "Aunt Zhang, I heard we hired a group of dancers. They've been practicing their dances and must be hungry. How about I bring them some desserts?"
The cook accepted the pearls and affectionately nudged Ji Xinghan: "Want to go out and play again, don't you?"
Ji Xinghan grinned and handed Zhang the cook a large pearl: "No, I just wanted to see if they were wearing gold and jade. If they have anything nice, I'll exchange a couple of pieces for you, Auntie."
Cook Zhang's eyes lit up: "Well, they must be hungry. Here's what you do: take this plate of osmanthus cake to them!"
After saying that, she took a plate of osmanthus cakes, handed it to Ji Xinghan, and instructed, "They are in a small room on the east side of the garden. After you leave the kitchen, follow the corridor on the right, and you will see them."
[Mission: Deliver a plate of osmanthus cake to the dancer!]
[Task Details: The groom has hired a group of women skilled in singing and dancing. It's already noon, and they must be hungry. Chef Zhang requests that you bring them a plate of osmanthus cake.]
[Accept the mission?]
Ji Xinghan: "Yes!"
She was overjoyed; now she could not only find Zhou Xinyao, but also locate her.
This Chef Zhang is such a great wingman!
Holding a plate, Ji Xinghan formed a line and pulled Lü Linke, Ji Yunnuan, and the already awakened Zhang Xiaoxiao, Jin Baiwan, and Jiang Yiming into the line.
As she walked, she asked, "Xiaoxiao, Baiwan, have you seen Lu Qing?"
Jin Baiwan chuckled strangely, "Don't worry, with us here, we will absolutely not let Xiang Fengtian find Lu Qing!"
Following the cook's directions, Ji Xinghan arrived at a small hut.
The sound of string and wind instruments drifted from inside the room.
Ji Xinghan listened intently, confirmed that the dancers were there, and then raised his hand to knock on the door.
A girl opened the door and asked, "What? Is it starting?"
Ji Xinghan pushed the osmanthus cake forward, saying, "No, I was worried you were hungry, so I specially brought you osmanthus cake."
Upon hearing this, the girl immediately beamed with joy: "Thank you, we're actually hungry, please come in."
She stepped aside.
Just as Ji Xinghan was about to go in, a loud shout rang out: "Stop!"
Xiang Fengtian rushed over and quickly blocked the doorway, stopping Ji Xinghan: "You've come to deliver osmanthus cakes? I don't agree!"
Xiang Fengtian looked a bit disheveled; his clothes were torn on his arms, and he was covered in dust.
Ji Xinghan's face darkened: "Why do you disagree?"
Xiang Fengtian blocked the door, looking smug: "Hehe, I'm the manager in charge of guests. They were invited by us. If I say no, then no!"
Ji Xinghan shoved Xiang Fengtian away: "Get lost!"
Xiang Fengtian remained motionless, becoming even more smug: "Ji Xinghan, we each have our responsibilities, but unfortunately, your rank is too low to manage anything!"
As he spoke, he picked up a piece of osmanthus cake: "Let me guess, is it poisonous?"
Ji Xinghan's heart sank.
Oh no, with Xiang Fengtian blocking her way, she really has no way to get through.
Damn it, this game is so biased, giving Xiang Fengtian and Zhao Qingyuan higher-level characters.
Xiang Fengtian pinched the osmanthus cake, but didn't dare to eat it. He casually threw it on the ground, then turned around and glanced at the nine dancers in the room.
Then, he paused for a moment, then whistled: "Huh? Zhou Xinyao?"
Ji Xinghan gripped the plate tightly in his hand, his brows furrowing.
Oh no, Xiang Fengtian actually knows Zhou Xinyao.
Then he should also know about Zhou Xinyao's relationship with her!
Sure enough, Xiang Fengtian smugly pointed at Zhou Xinyao: "Zhou Xinyao, come with me!"
Then, he walked out of the room and gave Ji Xinghan a smug look: "Tsk, I'm taking your people with me!"
He glanced at Zhou Xinyao, who had followed him with a blank expression, and smiled maliciously: "She hasn't awakened yet, has she? Then she should be able to listen to me. Tell me, should I make her jump into the river later, or should I make her run into a tree?"
Driven by malice, Ji Xinghan handed the plate to the girl standing at the door and followed her step by step, saying, "Xiang Fengtian, believe it or not, I'll kill you right now!"
Xiang Fengtian's eyes widened: "Kill me? Fine, do it!"
Ji Xinghan certainly wouldn't make a move. She watched the live stream and learned many of the rules from the conversations of the other people.
She would not come out on the right side if she fought with Xiang Fengtian.
However, it's still okay to annoy Xiang Fengtian within the rules!
Just as Ji Xinghan rushed in front of Xiang Fengtian, a stern voice suddenly rang out: "What are you doing?"
Mo Xiaoqi walked over, dressed in a bright and beautiful outfit.
His expression was serious as he said to Zhou Xinyao, "Why did you go out without permission? Go back!"
Xiang Fengtian turned around, saw Mo Xiaoqi, and immediately gritted his teeth: "I want to take her out, is that not allowed?"
Mo Xiaoqi stood in front of Zhou Xinyao and said coldly, "She's my woman. You can't take her out without my permission!"
"You?" Xiang Fengtian sized up Mo Xiaoqi, trying to guess his identity.
Several girls came out of the room and quickly bowed to Mo Xiaoqi, calling out, "Lord Mo."
Mo Xiaoqi waved his hand: "Go back, all of you!"
Then, he shoved Xiang Fengtian away violently: "You get out too!"
Xiang Fengtian was furious, but after thinking about it, he dared not lash out and could only glare angrily at Mo Xiaoqi.
Mo Xiaoqi pointed at Zhou Xinyao: "You go back too!"
Seeing everyone go inside, Ji Xinghan tried to follow, but Mo Xiaoqi pointed at him coldly and said, "Who are you? You're not allowed to go in."
Ji Xinghan hurriedly said, "I was sent by the kitchen to deliver the osmanthus cake. Aunt Zhang instructed me to personally deliver the osmanthus cake to everyone."
Mo Xiaoqi nodded: "Okay, I'll give you five minutes!"
Ji Xinghan hurried inside and handed out the osmanthus cakes to the girls one by one.
Finally, she went to Zhou Xinyao's place.
Ji Xinghan secretly slipped a calming pill into the osmanthus cake and handed it to Zhou Xinyao.
Zhou Xinyao sat there blankly. When she saw the osmanthus cake, she took it and stuffed it directly into her mouth.
Ji Xinghan was relieved to see Zhou Xinyao swallow all the osmanthus cake.
She quietly opened the door and peeked out, finding Xiang Fengtian still confronting Mo Xiaoqi. Xiang Fengtian was both facing off and looking at her with concern.
Ji Xinghan frowned. This wouldn't do; she couldn't let Xiang Fengtian discover that Zhou Xinyao had already awakened.
Just then, Zhou Xinyao called softly from behind, "Ji Xinghan?"
