He Yunxiao and Chu Chu arrived at Zuixianju.
As the most notorious playboy in Yinjing, He Yunxiao was a regular at Zuixianju.
However, starting today, Zuixianju will close its doors to guests only, allowing those with invitations to enter and exit, in preparation for holding a sword-testing tournament.
Since he was a guest, it would be impolite to arrive empty-handed. Chu Chu didn't care about such formalities, but He Yunxiao was thoughtful enough to spend a full 0.1 taels of silver, or 100 coins, to buy two packets of melon seeds to take with him.
He Yunxiao really felt a pang of regret at spending so much money at once.
The shops in the area don't accept gold or silver certificates, only silver notes, which made He Yunxiao very uncomfortable.
For He Yunxiao, who was used to spending gold and silver coupons, it was absolutely unacceptable to spend silver notes at this time.
Fortunately, he was good at talking and haggled with the shopkeeper, eventually getting the two bags of melon seeds for 100 coins.
Liu Feiyun is an acquaintance of He Yunxiao at Zuixianju. This acquaintance is not only familiar with He Yunxiao, but also knows Chu Xiaoxiao and Chu Fan.
Looking at his own hands and Chu Chu's delicate palm, He Yunxiao's rationality led him to choose survival over transferring his power. Given Chu Fan's doting brotherly nature, it wasn't hard to imagine the consequences if someone tried to steal his precious sister.
Especially when this person is a villain.
Shouldn't we carry out a wave of justice?
At the entrance of Zuixianju, He Yunxiao rubbed Chu Chu's hand and said, "Chu Chu, there will be a lot of people later, so let's not pass on the skills yet."
Upon hearing this, Chu Chu took her hand away from He Yunxiao's.
That seemed to imply, "It was I who dumped you."
He Yunxiao smiled and tugged at Chu Chu's sleeve, but Chu Chu shook off his hand.
"There are too many people. Stay away from me," Chu Chu said expressionlessly.
He Yunxiao: ...
He Yunxiao tried to explain, "Chu Chu, if Chu Fan sees us passing on our skills, he'll definitely beat me to death."
Chu Chu scoffed, "Useless. Chu Fan is a ninth-rank official, and so are you."
Is the protagonist's ninth rank really a ninth rank? The protagonist's ninth rank is called "Minor Grandmaster"!
But there's no way to explain that Chu Fan is the protagonist, and no one would believe it if I said it, so it's better not to say it.
He Yunxiao immediately launched into a statement, "Ah, right, right, I'm a good-for-nothing."
Chu Chu said coldly, "What kind of tone is that? Am I wrong?"
He Yunxiao: "Ah, right, right, right."
Chu Chu was inexplicably angry when she heard He Yunxiao say that.
"You can eat by yourself. I'm going back now."
"No!" He Yunxiao quickly grabbed Chu Chu, because if Chu Chu didn't go, he wouldn't be able to get into Zuixianju.
"Chuchu, don't be angry. I was just joking."
"I'm not joking."
"Hey, Chuchu, you're already here, why don't you go in and take a look... Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against me."
He Yunxiao tried to pull Chu Chu back but couldn't. He had to risk being discovered by Chu Fan and take Chu Chu's little hand to pull her back with difficulty.
Holding Chu Chu's hand, He Yunxiao felt a surge of emotion.
Her little hands are so soft, how come she has such a stubborn temper?
Based on He Yunxiao's years of experience, Chu Chu was more obedient than usual when he held her hand. As long as no one provoked her, she would obediently transfer her skills to him, without making a fuss or throwing a tantrum, and she was also very easy to talk to.
He Yunxiao held Chu Chu's hand as they queued outside the gate of Zuixianju, growing more and more afraid as they waited.
If Chu Fan saw this, it would be a near-certain death for him. The key is that Chu Fan is a guest elder of the Iron Eagle Gang; Chu Xiaoxiao already had an invitation, so Chu Fan, needless to say, must have one too.
In other words, he will definitely come to this sword-testing tournament.
What will we do then?
"neat."
"Um."
"Take it."
He Yunxiao handed the two bags of sunflower seeds he was carrying to Chu Chu.
Without waiting for her consent, he shoved the sunflower seeds into her arms and made her hold them.
"I..."
"Right away, right away."
He Yunxiao freed one hand, reached into his pocket and rummaged around for a while. Among the several handkerchiefs he carried with him, he chose a larger, unused one with a light color and a printed design.
Then, using the handkerchief as a veil, they tied it around Chuchu's neck.
Only her eyes were left outside.
It might fool an ordinary person, but it probably wouldn't fool Chu Fan, though it offered some psychological comfort.
"What are you doing?" Chu Chu asked, displeased.
He Yunxiao took the melon seeds from her arms and said matter-of-factly, "If Lady Chuchu doesn't wear a veil, it will affect the fairness of the sword-testing tournament."
"Why?" Chu Chu asked, puzzled.
"With Lady Chuchu sitting there, who would be in the mood for the competition? I certainly am," He Yunxiao said matter-of-factly. Sorry, but with a mix of flattery and praise, one can do whatever they want.
Chu Chu didn't like wearing a veil, but since He Yunxiao had said so, she couldn't very well argue with him.
No girl in the world is immune to the desire to look beautiful, and Chu Chu is no exception. Even if she tries to remain outwardly composed, she is secretly pleased.
Especially under this bombardment of sweet words, it's impossible to scold or refuse.
"It's too tight," Chu Chu said.
He Yunxiao immediately understood and reached out to loosen the knot behind Chu Chu's veil to make it more comfortable for her to wear.
At the entrance of Zuixianju, He Yunxiao and Chu Chu silently held hands.
Feeling the continuous flow of internal energy through his hands and looking at the veil on Chu Chu's face, He Yunxiao knew without a doubt that Chu Chu was indulging him again.
She's so gentle. I'm so happy I could cry.
I repent for having said bad things about Chu Chu in the past!
Chu Chu is forever a goddess!
