It was a moonless night.
The sky was covered by thick snow clouds, and not a single ray of light could be seen. Not long after nightfall, it began to snow heavily. Pedestrians were returning home, and the night market was over before it even started.
A carriage draped in snow drove out of the martial arts workshop and into the nearby Rainbow Cloud House. In all of Yong Ling, only the Rainbow Cloud House's door was never closed.
At this time of year, the Rainbow Cloud House's business was somewhat slow. In the neighboring West Sparrow House, only three to five private rooms were still lit. Two waiters stood at the door, rubbing their hands and shivering, hoping that the customers would quickly finish eating and leave so they could close the shop.
Unfortunately, their wish was quickly dashed. The carriage stopped in front of the West Sparrow House. Lianhai Changjin alighted from the carriage and raised his head to look at the signboard of the West Sparrow House. The hand holding the fan trembled slightly.
"You go back first," he calmly said to his carriage driver.
The carriage driver drove away in silence.
When the carriage completely disappeared into the snowy night, Lianhai Changjin took a deep breath and walked into the main hall of the West Sparrow House.
"Sir, please come in." The waiter had to force a smile and welcome him, "Do you want to book a private room or …?"
Lianhai Changjin said, "The Sky-class Suihan Three Friends."
"So you are a customer of the Sky-class room. This way please." The waiter sighed in relief and led Lianhai Changjin to a private room on the third floor.
There was a sign hanging on the door that read: Suihan Three Friends.
The door was opened, and a woman with a veil covering her face saw Lianhai Changjin. She was clearly startled, and the joy in her eyes was immediately replaced by coldness, "You …"
Lianhai Changjin was startled at first. Although it was not the first time he saw her, it was the first time he was so close to her. For some reason, her eyes gave him a feeling of deja vu.
This feeling was quickly replaced by joy. He smiled and said, "Miss Cui Er, I heard that Miss Youwei was here, so I took the liberty to come. Please forgive me. I wonder if you could introduce me …"
Cui Er thought for a moment, then said, "Young Master Lianhai, please wait." She then closed the door again.
After a while, the door opened again, "Young Master Lianhai, my young lady invites you in." She then stepped aside.
Lian Hai Changjin suppressed his excitement and slowly walked into the dark room. All the light came from behind the screen. He walked behind the screen and saw the beautiful figure that he yearned for day and night. She sat in front of the table in the middle of the palace lanterns and used her enchanting and beautiful eyes to sweep over him.
"Miss Youwei!" Lian Hai Changjin stepped forward and said, "Ever since you went missing, I have been worried about your safety. Where have you been all this time?"
"What, do I have to report my whereabouts to you?" Yu Youwei's tone was a little cold. Her blood-red lips slightly opened and closed as she exhaled a breath that was like orchid and musk.
Lian Hai Changjin said in a low voice, "No, it's not like that … I'm just worried …"
Yu Youwei suddenly pursed her lips into a smile that was like a hundred flowers blooming. She said, "Long time no see. This servant was just joking with Young Noble, please don't be angry."
"How, how could that be?" Lian Hai Changjin immediately became happy, "The fact that Miss Youwei could joke with this servant means that you regard me as a friend. This servant can't be more than happy. How could I be angry?"
Yu Youwei's eyes were like silk as she said, "Young Noble is standing and talking. It makes Youwei feel very uncomfortable."
"Oh, right, I was being rude," Lian Hai Changjin hurriedly sat down opposite her.
Yu Youwei stretched out her white wrist and used her fair, slender fingers to hold the wine flask and lightly poured two cups of wine, saying, "Young Noble Yan really likes to play tricks. The invitation was clearly sent to Yan Manor."
Lian Hai Changjin instantly felt like he was sitting on pins and needles as he said in shame, "Yes, it was Brother Yan who gave the invitation to this servant. This servant … this servant was really worried about Miss Youwei's safety, so I couldn't help but come …"
Yu Youwei raised her wine cup, her beautiful eyes flashing as she said, "Does Young Noble Lian really care about this servant so much?"
Lian Hai Changjin nodded frankly, "When I first met Miss Youwei several years ago, I was already shocked. More importantly, Miss Youwei has a pure and kind heart that deeply attracted me."
"Pure and kind?" Yu Youwei blinked, "What did this servant do to make Young Noble give me such an evaluation?"
Lian Hai Changjin sank into his memories, "That year, it was snowing in Yong Ling as well. This servant inadvertently discovered that Miss Youwei had bought a lot of food and quilts to help the poor. Later on, you even paid for their treatment. This servant secretly observed your good deeds and was deeply moved, so I imitated your actions. Later on, we even ran into each other, but I was too excited at the time and forgot to greet you. It was only after asking around that I found out that you were the Courtesan Queen of Rainbow Clouds House. "
"Ah …"
A soft cry came from outside the screen.
Yu Youwei's beautiful eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of coldness as she said, "Cui 'er, go stand guard outside."
"Yes, Miss."
Lian Hai Changjin gave her a puzzled look, asking, "Did this servant say something that I shouldn't have?"
"No." Yu Youwei's face suddenly filled with bashfulness, "So Young Noble is that person from back then. This servant had thought that I would never see you again."
Lian Hai Changjin's attention was immediately diverted, and he happily said, "Miss Youwei still remembers this servant?"
"Of course I remember …" Yu Youwei's beautiful eyes were like silk as she gently brought the wine cup to Lian Hai Changjin's lips, "Young Noble, please …"
Lian Hai Changjin intoxicated took a sip, only feeling that his body and mind had obtained great satisfaction. Yan Li had once helped him win a chance, but that night, nothing happened between them.
What happened next left Lian Hai Changjin completely dumbfounded.
Yu Youwei didn't know why she became as passionate as fire, like a boneless water snake, twisting and sitting in his arms, "Young Noble, if this servant had found Young Noble earlier …"
"Miss Youwei …" Lian Hai Changjin's breathing became heavy.
Cui 'er stood at the door, her heart calm.
"The woman in the room should have been you."
Suddenly, a very small voice came from above her head, startling her. She immediately looked up, but when she saw the face of the person who came, she immediately stopped her counterattack, her face under the veil showing a kind of embarrassment and anger.
A person hung down from above her head, both feet hooked on the beam, winking at her, wearing a ruffian like smile. It was none other than Yan Li.
"You …" Cui 'er was about to speak.
"Shh." Yan Li raised his finger, pointing at the private room, then pointing outside.
The two arrived outside the West Sparrow Restaurant, found an empty alley, and Cui 'er impatiently asked, "When did Young Noble arrive?"
"A little earlier than Lian Hai Changjin," Yan Li said with a smile.
Cui 'er was surprised, "When did your cultivation reach a level that even Miss can't sense?"
Yan Li shrugged, "That's a long story."
