NOVEL NEXT WORLD chapter 88
Chapter 88: Chapter Nineteen – There is a Car Ahead, But Very Direct
Cui’er stood at a distance from the pavilion room, knowing that her master didn’t like her eavesdropping at the door.
However, a long time had passed, almost two or three hours.
Of course, Cui’er, who guessed what had happened in the room, actually thought it wouldn’t be surprising if they spent the night in the room.
Suddenly, with a creak, the door of the pavilion room opened, and He Youzhou walked out looking refreshed.
Seeing this, Cui’er couldn’t help but frown.
She knew what her master had planned, and by rights, He Youzhou should have been exhausted in bed by now.
“Mr. He, have you finished talking with my master?” Cui’er asked, walking towards He Youzhou with a puzzled expression.
He Youzhou, with his hands in his sleeves, saw Cui’er and said, “Hmm, go take care of the boss lady, she looks exhausted.”
“Ah… ha… I will.” Cui’er hesitated, not immediately understanding the meaning of He Youzhou’s words.
Her master had spent a lot of money to buy some improper flower tea to ignite a passionate night with He Youzhou.
Theoretically, no matter how determined He Youzhou was, he should have been somewhat swayed.
But now, no matter how she looked at He Youzhou, it didn’t seem like anything had happened in the room.
“Then, when the boss lady wakes up, tell her to take it easy.” After saying this, He Youzhou deliberately extended his hand to wave goodbye to Cui’er.
Confused, Cui’er walked into her master’s pavilion room and saw Zhao Linglong, disheveled and panting in the cup.
In the pavilion room, which was deliberately set up with a pink atmosphere, Zhao Linglong instinctively wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth with her fingers.
“…” Cui’er was shocked and speechless as she looked at Zhao Linglong.
“Cui’er, help me up…” Zhao Linglong raised her hand weakly.
The effect of the flower tea was outstanding for He Youzhou, who was only at the Foundation Establishment stage.
The flower tea she had spent a lot of money on had indeed worked—but the result was far from what she had imagined.
She covered her face with her arm, her mind still buzzing.
“Pour me a glass of water…” Zhao Linglong’s voice trembled uncontrollably.
She had thought she could be the dominant one, but she seemed to have overestimated herself and underestimated the other party.
“Master…” Cui’er started to speak but didn’t dare to continue.
“Forget it… I miscalculated…”
As for whether she felt impatient from waiting too long, naturally, she did not.
She had faced the wall in contemplation many times in the past, so this waiting was nothing.
“Um… I’m coming down.” He Youzhou felt a bit guilty seeing Lin Qingxue waiting for him for so long.
Although he knew he had been drugged, wasting so much time on Zhao Linglong was ultimately his fault.
If he could have killed Zhao Linglong in an instant, Lin Qingxue wouldn’t have had to wait so long.
Even though he was already three hundred years old and had experienced everything to the point of numbness, he still couldn’t kill Zhao Linglong instantly.
He had grown weaker.
Speaking of which, making his future disciple wait while he was successfully drugged upstairs felt a bit strange.
“Senior, I’m sorry.” He Youzhou shook his head and sighed.
“Master… Senior, what’s wrong?” Lin Qingxue quickly said, “I didn’t feel impatient, please don’t mind.”
“No, it’s not just about this.” He Youzhou pinched the bridge of his nose.
“Let’s go find a place to stay.” His body wasn’t tired, but his heart was weary.
“Alright, Senior.” Lin Qingxue immediately prepared to leave upon hearing He Youzhou say they were leaving the Yunyi Chamber of Commerce.
In fact, she wasn’t interested in clothes. Rather than admiring clothes, she preferred evaluating weapons.
This was one of the ways she differed from other young ladies of the Lin family, and she was often called boyish because of it.
At first, she thought the clothes here were beautiful, but after looking at them for a long time, she felt a bit bored.
However, to wait for He Youzhou to come downstairs, she continued to wander around here.
“The moon is already out, Senior.” As soon as she stepped out of the Yunyi Chamber of Commerce, Lin Qingxue looked up and saw the crescent moon.
Inside the chamber, due to the many lights, she wasn’t very sensitive to the change between day and night, which led her to not realize it was already night.
But calculating the time, it was indeed about right.
“Let’s stay here, it’s closer to tomorrow’s Yunshang Exhibition.” He Youzhou pointed to an inn and said.
Lin Qingxue naturally didn’t care which inn they stayed at. On the way to Wolf City, she had often camped out and was used to harsh accommodations.
The once pampered young lady had long been worn down by the journey.
Upon entering the inn, before He Youzhou could speak, Lin Qingxue took out some copper coins, “Two rooms.”
Since she sincerely wanted to become his disciple, she naturally couldn’t trouble this senior with such small expenses.
“Wait a moment.” The innkeeper looked at Lin Qingxue and He Youzhou for a while, then called over a waiter, “Take them to the rooms on the second floor.”
The waiter walked over with a smile, a towel draped over his shoulder, “Come, come, guests, I’ll show you the way.”
“You really chose the right inn. If you had chosen any of the surrounding ones, you might have been driven away.” The waiter said.
“Why would we be driven away?” He Youzhou tilted his head and asked, puzzled.
“That’s because during this time, many young masters and ladies come to Wolf City for the Yunshang Exhibition, and they always like to book the entire inn.” The waiter explained.
“Is it really that domineering?” He Youzhou touched his chin. If he had that much silver in the future, he would also want to learn such a pretentious method.
“There’s no choice, it’s not just about money anymore,” the waiter said helplessly. “Among the young masters and ladies here, some might be of royal blood. If trouble arises, the inn won’t be able to handle it.”
“…” He Youzhou was immediately disappointed. It seemed that booking the entire place wasn’t something that could be done with just money.
Not enough reputation, not enough money. The road to revitalizing Tianyan Sect was long and arduous.
