Hearing these people's words, Li Zhu was speechless. He'd actually been called a nobody by them? These people were really willing to say anything to curry favor with Jiang Moyan…
However, he underestimated these people's ability to fawn over him. Before Li Zhu could even retort, someone immediately spoke up.
"I have always stood firmly on Young Master Jiang's side, and I have never questioned a single word he said from beginning to end..."
"I've seen through your true colors now. You're nothing but a bunch of opportunists. Unlike me, although I'm also an opportunist, I only bend when the wind blows in my favor towards Young Master Jiang. Otherwise, I'd rather break than bend..."
"Enough! Look at the faces of you all! With our Young Master Jiang's wisdom and prowess, do you think he would be fooled by your sweet words? His discerning eyes have long since seen through your very nature..."
Seeing that her puzzle was about to become a joke, Qinglu coughed twice to attract everyone's attention, and then said softly.
"It seems you are not interested in my riddle, so I will take my leave..."
"etc…"
Seeing Qinglu about to leave, Jiang Moyan quickly called him back, then smoothed his hair and said in what he thought was a very handsome pose.
"Miss Qinglu, there's no need to worry. I, Jiang, will do my utmost to answer your questions..."
Qinglu snorted coldly and said
"Continuing this will only lead to a farce. Qinglu takes her leave..."
This time, Qinglu was truly about to leave, but Jiang Moyan wouldn't have it. He had already agreed to all the benefits, and if he lost the chance to be intimate with Qinglu, his loss would be enormous…
"Miss Qinglu, are you saying I, Jiang, won't even give you face?"
Jiang Mo's tone was slightly displeased. Given his status, speaking like that was tantamount to threatening Qinglu!
"Why should I give you face? If you want face, go ask the owner of this brothel..."
Upon hearing that he should go find the boss himself, Jiang Moyan's expression turned extremely ugly, as if he was wary of something...
It's clearly abnormal that someone with his fearless, spoiled rich kid personality would be afraid of the behind-the-scenes owner of a brothel...
These clues are enough to show that there is something wrong with this Flower Moon Pavilion, which makes Li Zhu curious about who the boss behind the scenes is.
Such a serious incident occurred on the second floor, and no one has shown up to handle it yet. It's hard not to suspect that the owner knows him and has arranged a crude plan on the spot, such as poisoning...
As for Shi Min's appearance, if it was intentional, using Shi Min to invite Nazha to ultimately lure her here, then the cunning of the boss behind the scenes is chilling, and the knowledge he possesses is also terrifying...
Li Zhu racked his brains but couldn't figure out who the owner of the Flower Moon Pavilion was, so he had to give up trying...
"You're just a girl who sells her body, yet you're acting all high and mighty here..."
Seeing someone humiliating Jiang Moyan, the person who had just questioned him immediately stood up and said sarcastically, "You didn't perform well just now, so naturally you have to perform well now to change your image in Jiang Moyan's eyes..."
"So noisy!"
Qinglu gave him a cold glance, and then a flash of light struck, the man's head flying into the air, blood splattering everywhere as he hit the ground...
The people here are all spoiled rich kids; they've never seen such a bloody scene before. They're so scared their legs are shaking, and some are even screaming—they're practically about to wet themselves…
Jiang Moyan's momentum faltered for a moment; he hadn't expected his opponent to kill so readily, without the slightest hesitation...
He swallowed hard, then said with a fawning smile.
"Miss Qinglu can go wherever she wants. We simply want to help you solve this mystery. This place is a gathering place for many scholars and poets of the New Tang Dynasty. Solving such a mystery should be no problem for us. Does Miss Qinglu really want to miss such an opportunity...?"
It must be said that Jiang Moyan is quite talented in pursuing women. He knows how to understand women's thoughts and directly hit the nail on the head regarding Qinglu's inner thoughts, forcing her to stop her from leaving...
This puzzle was indeed something she desperately needed to solve. She hadn't originally intended to solve it in such a setting, but was there a more suitable place than the Flower Moon Pavilion…?
There are many scholars and writers here, but very few of them hold official positions in the imperial court. This avoids a lot of unnecessary trouble and allows them to utilize their wisdom, which can be said to be a win-win situation...
Qinglu glanced coldly at Jiang Moyan. She knew she couldn't go too far. Jiang Moyan had already lowered his stance, and if she continued to be coy, it might backfire. After some internal struggle, she took advantage of his offer and said calmly.
"Alright then, I'll give you one more chance. If you can't solve the riddle within an incense stick's time, don't blame me..."
"Miss Qinglu is not only beautiful, but also very understanding; she is truly someone we admire..."
Jiang Moyan quickly offered a compliment; he had just lost too much face, and he was determined to regain it...
"Everyone, as you've all heard, Miss Qinglu is willing to give us a chance to continue solving this puzzle. Now, let's brainstorm and work together to help Miss Qinglu overcome this difficulty..."
"You've said all the nice things, but you want us to do the work. You're really good at taking credit..."
Li Zhu couldn't stand it anymore and spoke sarcastically!
"If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute. I never said you could join us, and it's impossible for you to steal our work. Forget about it..."
"Who gave you the confidence to think I would steal your results?"
"That's ridiculous. You don't actually think you can solve this puzzle all by yourself, do you?"
Jiang Moyan mocked in a sarcastic tone!
"Is it not allowed?"
Li Zhu replied in a relaxed tone, as if he couldn't detect the sarcasm in the other person's tone!
"Haha...did you hear that? He thinks he can solve this puzzle all by himself, how ridiculous..."
Jiang Moyan, as if he had heard a hilarious joke, mocked him to his heart's content!
"Why bother arguing with such an arrogant and ignorant person, Young Master Jiang? He's nothing but a self-righteous fool..."
"Exactly, let's hurry up and solve the puzzle. This kind of person doesn't deserve our time..."
The crowd continued to humiliate Li Zhu with their insults, but Li Zhu didn't care. He was determined to solve the mystery and show them what it meant to be slapped in the face...
Being called an idiot by a bunch of fools was both amusing and humiliating to Li Zhu, so he was determined to slap them in the face...
