Ling Ningzhi’s bright eyes blinked, puzzled, "Why should his heartbreak concern me?"
"..."
Chen Mo’s lips curved up as he leaned in to her ear and said, "I just like this aloof yet warm nature of yours, Daoist."
Ling Ningzhi’s cheeks flushed as she shyly replied, "Stop it, everyone is watching..."
Those around watched this scene, eyes widened, looking as if they had seen a ghost.
Was this bashful and coy girl still the aloof Fairy Qingxuan they remembered?
The air seemed to resonate with the sound of breaking hearts.
Zi Lianji felt increasingly stifled in his chest, and grabbed a wine bottle to start chugging.
...
Zheng~
The piece ended.
The lingering sound stayed in the air.
Yu’er stood up, bowed gracefully, and the hall erupted into applause.
"All of you are Mr. Chen’s friends, so you are esteemed guests of The Cloudwater Hall. I hope you will enjoy this beautiful night to its fullest and not waste the splendid scenery."
From the Chuihua Gate, several Hua Fu and Hua Yin emerged gracefully.
They weaved through the banquet tables like butterflies among flowers, urging drinks, and the atmosphere soared.
Yu’er lifted her leg and approached Chen Mo; seeing no free seat beside him, she sat directly on his lap, her firm hips creating a subtle curve.
Her lotus-like arms wrapped around Chen Mo’s neck, speaking tenderly, almost melting into the bones.
"Master, you left so suddenly the other day without a proper goodbye... I’ve missed you so much~"
?!
Before Chen Mo could open his mouth, a sharp pain suddenly surged from both sides of his waist.
Two fair hands pinched the soft flesh around his waist sharply, twisting it 180 degrees.
Shen Zhixia pouted, muttering, "Didn’t brother say he seldom visits the Imperial Music Bureau?"
Ling Ningzhi’s expression seemed resentful, quietly transmitting, "Mr. Chen, is there anyone else besides me who calls you Master?"
Chen Mo: "..."
Yu’er blushed, whispering in his ear, "Master, there are a lot of eyes here, should we head inside for a chat?"
"No!"
Shen Zhixia and Ling Ningzhi said in unison.
"..."
Feeling the strange gazes around him, Chen Mo’s mouth twitched. If this continued, all three might end up in a scuffle on the spot...
He thought for a moment, then spoke:
"How about, we all go together?"
[・_・?]
...
In the inner chamber bedroom.
Gu Manzhi stood in front of the floor mirror, inspecting herself.
She wore a purple bandeau on her upper body, revealing her smooth shoulders and delicate white clavicle. The collar was raised to a sleek curve, her slender waist like a willow in the wind, and her legs were long and straight, flawless.
Ye Henshui sat beside, staring dazedly at the beautiful figure.
Gu Manzhi was stunning enough, but combined with the mastery of the Extreme Yin Body, she exuded an irresistible allure, even hard for fellow women to resist.
After a moment, she came to her senses, shaking her head, "You’ve been preening for an hour, and it’s just because Chen Mo is coming? You just saw him a few days ago, why the excitement?"
Gu Manzhi glanced at her, saying softly, "Are you anxious?"
Ye Henshui asked puzzledly, "What do I have to be anxious about?"
"Then why don’t you leave?" Gu Manzhi approached her, lifting her chin with her hand, "Normally, hearing that Chen Mo is coming would scare you off, yet today you’re clinging here..."
Her peach blossom eyes glimmered mischievously, teasingly saying, "In a rush to train with Chen Mo?"
