Chapter 136 What kind of face is under the mask?
"There's a disturbance near the lake. I'll personally escort you two guests away in a moment. Please don't panic."
Lan Shu boarded Chunxi and Xiao Qinghe's boat and explained the reason in a gentle voice.
Xiao Qinghe immediately became nervous.
After all, it was her first time coming home late, and she had just seen so many men showing off their sexuality. She felt very guilty and was afraid that her identity would be exposed at the slightest sign of trouble.
Chunxi was very calm and said, "My driver is still waiting by the lake. If we don't show up, he might come looking for us."
"I have already sent someone to notify him to go to another place for the meeting. You two distinguished guests don't have to worry."
Lan Shu was very thoughtful, and Chunxi's attention quickly returned to the pleasure boat.
On the high platform, the black figure almost merged with the sword in his hand. Every time he attacked, he was filled with murderous intent. It should have been very scary, but because the people standing on the platform before were all male prostitutes who served people with their beauty, no one felt scared, but rather a little excited.
Although this man's face cannot be seen due to his mask, he is so skilled in martial arts and must be strong and powerful. I wonder how brave he will be in bed.
Lanterns were hung on many small boats, hoping to catch a glimpse of the mysterious owner of Wuyou Pavilion. Even though the servants on the pleasure boat had already said that this round of performances was a temporary extra and would not be involved in the auction, everyone's enthusiasm only increased.
Some people even spent ten thousand taels of silver.
Seeing that the situation was getting difficult to resolve, Lan Shu said to Chun Xi, "Can you please lend me your lantern? I promise I won't charge you any money."
"Use it, use it," Chunxi said generously, but couldn't help muttering, "Since your boss isn't taking any jobs, why is he putting on a show? Isn't this just deliberately trying to make customers jealous? Aren't you afraid of offending them and affecting business?"
Lan Shu lit the lantern, smiled, and said, "The host is happy tonight, so whether the guests are happy or not is not our concern."
After he finished speaking, Lan Shu hung the lantern to the highest position.
This means that no matter how high the price others offer, the guests of this boat will offer twice as much silver as her.
Twenty thousand taels is really too expensive just to look at a person's face. And what if the face under the mask is not handsome, but ugly?
Everyone immediately stopped thinking and making noise.
On the stands, Xiao Yechen clenched the sword in his hand. He didn't expect her to light the light for him.
"According to the rules, the host should thank the guests. If the host is unwilling, I will send someone..."
Before the attendant could finish his words, Xiao Yechen used his lightness skills to get onto the boat where Chunxi and the others were.
The boat was spacious enough for two people, but with two more men, it suddenly became cramped. Moreover, Xiao Yechen was holding a sword, dressed in black and wearing a fang mask, which made him look quite imposing, making people feel even more oppressed.
Xiao Qinghe thought she had seen him before, but now she lowered her head and dared not look directly at him.
Chunxi was very calm and composed. He clasped his fists towards Xiao Yechen and praised him, "Boss, you are really good at fighting. Tonight's selection of the champion was also very exciting. I wish Wuyou Pavilion a prosperous business and a lot of money in the future."
Xiao Yechen was not pleased by Chunxi's flattery and said coldly and sternly: "Since you are not here for fun, don't come and join in the fun in the future."
Xiao Yechen had just finished speaking when Lan Shu patted him on the shoulder. "How can the boss speak to our guests like that? We just helped them out. You'll scare them if you speak like that."
In the cabin, Xiao Qinghe almost curled up into a ball and hid behind Chunxi, wishing that no one could see her.
Xiao Yechen's heart stagnated, and he lowered his head and said, "Sorry, I wasn't being mean to you just now."
Chunxi didn't feel offended. Just as she was about to say it was okay, Lanshu said, "Since the boss knows his mistake, why don't you take off your mask and let the two guests take a look."
"Eh? Is that okay?"
Chunxi was very interested. The two hundred taels of notes were spent in the blink of an eye. If he could see what the boss looked like, it would be a great value for money.
When Xiao Qinghe heard this, he looked up at Xiao Yechen.
She really wanted to verify her guess.
Xiao Yechen clenched his fists, and the words of refusal he wanted to say were stuck in his throat when he met Xiao Qinghe's gaze.
If she wants to see, the mask can be taken off.
Xiao Yechen pursed his lips, and after a moment, he raised his hand to reach for the mask. Just as he was about to take it off, Xiao Qinghe's soft voice rang out, "Forget it. We didn't spend any money, so we shouldn't embarrass the boss."
She didn't want anyone to reveal her identity. Since the owner of Wuyou Pavilion was wearing a mask, he probably didn't want anyone to see his true face.
Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you.
Anyway, she won't come here again, so let's just pretend we never met tonight.
Xiao Yechen's hands froze.
Just now he was worried about how Xiao Qinghe would react when she saw it was him, but when he heard her say no, he felt disappointed again.
However, this emotion only lasted for a moment before Xiao Yechen suppressed it. He turned his head and said to Lan Shu, "Tonight's performance is over. Remember to see these two distinguished guests off safely."
After saying this, Xiao Yechen walked away on the water.
The servants on the pleasure boat began to turn off the lights, and the lake, which was bustling just now, was soon swallowed up by the night. Under the cover of the inky night, the small boats on the lake sailed towards the shore in an orderly manner.
Wei Lingze had been guarding the shore, staring intently at the people coming down. He wanted to find Chunxi and vent his anger, but he was also afraid of really seeing Xiao Qinghe in the crowd.
If Xiao Qinghe really came to seek pleasure with the young waiter, what should he do?
Just as he was thinking about it, a delicate low cry suddenly came from the lakeside, as if someone had fallen. In the dim light, Wei Lingze saw two shadows supporting each other on the shore not far away.
Wei Lingze's face darkened, and he immediately rushed in front of the two people. The next moment, a loud slap and the woman's panicked scream rang out: "Ah, there's a pervert!"
The guards of Wuyou Pavilion heard the sound, surrounded Wei Lingze and beat him up severely.
Wei Lingze was no match for four people with his two fists and soon fell into a disadvantage. It was not until Xingzhou and his men arrived that Wei Lingze was rescued.
In just a cup of tea, all the guests who came here tonight left, leaving only a lonely boat.
"Master, are you okay?"
There were several bruises on Wei Lingze's face. Xingzhou was very worried. However, just as he finished speaking, he was kicked hard by Wei Lingze: "Didn't I ask you to bring people to guard all the intersections? Who asked you to come here?"
Xingzhou quickly knelt down and admitted his mistake: "I know I was wrong. I just thought that the young master had found someone, so I rushed over..."
Wei Lingze tilted his head and spat out a mouthful of blood foam: "I heard wrongly, it wasn't them."
The lake returned to silence. Wei Lingze felt the lake breeze and couldn't tell for a moment whether they had taken advantage of the chaos to leave or whether this was another trick set up by Chunxi.
After a long while, Wei Lingze said, "Let's go to the Xiao family and take a look."
