No! Hua Yuanzhao suddenly tensed up.

The "nine stars" should refer to the nine stars of the Big Dipper, which correspond to the nine orifices of the human body.

When she was studying acupuncture, she had read in a book that there are two hidden orifices among the nine orifices, namely the urethra and the anus.

If the nine orifices are compared with the seven orifices that everyone is familiar with, there will be seven visible and two hidden.

Although she didn't understand the theory of stars, if she matched the nine orifices of the human body with the nine stars, the Big Dipper might also have seven visible and two invisible...

Hua Yuanzhao looked at the impatient waiter and smiled in an unfathomable way.

"Waiter, what I want is not in these seven halls." Hua Yuanzhao said lightly.

The waiter just felt a toothache, so he held back his temper and said, "What do you want? I'll help you find it."

"What I want is in the other two halls." Hua Yuanzhao looked at him meaningfully.

The waiter's face changed slightly. He coughed lightly, looked around, and said in a deep voice, "Please come this way."

He stood straight, and returned to his previous attitude of "no strangers allowed", without any intention of currying favor.

"Miss..." Fuling tugged at Hua Yuanzhao's sleeve worriedly, fearing that she would be ambushed and sold out.

"Wait for me here." Hua Yuanzhao patted her hands, soothed her softly, and gave her a wink.

"Yes." Fuling nodded worriedly and made up her mind.

——If the lady can't come out, she will shout that this store is kidnapping a lady!

Hua Yuanzhao was led upstairs by him and waited for a quarter of an hour before the owner of Jusui Pavilion came quickly.

Boss Cheng stood at the door, paused in disappointment when he saw the face of the person in the room, then quickly adjusted his mood and went in.

While the two were greeting each other, Hua Yuanzhao was also looking at him.

The man was about sixty years old, with gray hair on his temples. He was dressed in plain brocade clothes, and looked noble and reserved. There was a stern look in his eyes and eyebrows, and he was intimidating without being angry.

He has the aura of a superior, but lacks the smoothness of a businessman.

Boss Cheng got straight to the point and chuckled before saying, "My Jusui Pavilion hasn't had a second hall for many years. How did you know there is another second hall?"

Hua Yuanzhao remained calm and said calmly: "I guess, what good things are there in this second hall?"

Boss Cheng choked and looked up at the waiter standing next to him.

The waiter retreated quietly and closed the door carefully.

The moment the door closed, Boss Cheng tensed up and asked anxiously, "How is the person who told you this?"

Hua Yuanzhao looked at him and noticed that his eyebrows did not move, and he did not seem as anxious as he appeared.

"What do you think of him?" Hua Yuanzhao asked calmly.

Boss Cheng squinted at her, and suddenly returned to his previous relaxed state.

He lowered his eyes and said calmly, "There are only seven halls in Jusui Pavilion. Please go back, young master."

He denied what he had said and asked the guests to leave.

Hua Yuanzhao was not in a hurry. He sat firmly on his seat and said calmly, "He is just one of my patients. I am making this trip just to fulfill his wish."

After that, she stood up with the help of the armrest and said slowly: "If Boss Cheng doesn't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it."

Boss Cheng's expression suddenly changed: "Wait."

Hua Yuanzhao tilted his head to look at him, and said impatiently, "Huh?"

Boss Cheng took a deep breath, and a genuine sadness appeared in his dark eyes.

"What's the last name of your patient?"

Hua Yuanzhao studied his expression and said slowly, "Yuan."

"Is that so..."

Boss Cheng sighed deeply. He hadn't seen his friend for more than ten years. Could it be that the friend who drank and chatted with him happily had passed away?

He took out a small box from his sleeve, and when he opened it, there lay a black jade pendant with a white jade base on the plain brocade. There was a strange pattern on the jade pendant.

Hua Yuanzhao frowned and looked over, his hand unconsciously touching his sleeve.

"He entrusted it to me for safekeeping."

Boss Cheng looked at the jade pendant reluctantly and handed it over. Thus, the last connection between him and his young friend was gone.

"He said he would come to take it away, but I didn't expect it to be so long." Boss Cheng smiled reluctantly, "Since he told you, you must be someone he trusts. This jade is for you."

…

Hua Yuanzhao walked out with the jade pendant in his pocket, his heart growing heavier. When he got out of the door, he realized that it was already dark and there were few people on the street.

"Miss." Fuling came forward happily and breathed a sigh of relief.

If you come back any later, the master will definitely punish you!

Hua Yuanzhao had something on his mind and walked hurriedly along the way. It was not until he was grabbed by Fuling that he paid some attention and looked over.

"What's wrong?"

"Miss, someone is following us..." Fuling said in a low voice.

Hua Yuanzhao turned his head to take a glance and saw a few burly men acting suspiciously.

"Is it someone sent by Aunt Su to capture us?" Fuling was so anxious that she was about to cry.

Hua Yuanzhao held Fuling's hand, glanced at the group of people, and said in a low voice: "No, these people are heavy but light on their feet. They are a group of martial artists."

"What should I do then?" Fuling was filled with fear.

Hua Yuanzhao glanced around and saw that the group of people had gathered and were forming an encirclement, as if they were trying to catch the turtle in the jar.

"Run!" Hua Yuanzhao pulled Fuling and ran away with her.
