In the following days, Su Chen continued as before, fully dedicating himself to cultivation at ho. Now, he had already unlocked two-thirds of the crucial points of the fifth ridian and reckoned it wouldn't take too long to fully open the remaining ones!
That night, Lin Ruoxue hadn't returned yet, and while Su Chen was cultivating, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Hearing the sound, Su Chen went downstairs and opened the door, only to find it was Yunlong.
"What brings you here?"
Su Chen was slightly surprised to see Yunlong.
"My master saw how hard I've been cultivating lately and gave a day off to go have so fun,"
Yunlong said as he walked in:
"I spent the entire day shopping with my sister, and since she spared tonight, I ca straight over to find you, big brother!"
"That old crank is pretty humane, huh!"
Su Chen smirked as he spoke.
"Big brother, don't cultivate today. Let's go out and have so fun. I only have tonight, and I have to return to practice tomorrow,"
Yunlong suggested, knowing that Su Chen had nothing else to do at ho except cultivate.
"Sure, where do you want to go?"
Su Chen shrugged casually. Since Yunlong put it that way, he agreed.
"Big brother, I've done so special digging."
Yunlong said with a mysterious wink to Su Chen:
"Ever since Qing Tower closed and Qi ng vanished, the elite of Yandu have found a new hangout."
"What's this place?"
Seeing Yunlong act so secretive, Su Chen couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"Yun Ya Residence!"
Yunlong said slightly eagerly!
"Yun Ya Residence? What's that place?"
Su Chen frowned slightly and thought about it, but he hadn't heard of it before.
But that wasn't surprising; he normally just spent ti in the group's office, his ho, or the estate, rarely venturing elsewhere.
"They say it's a place where one can forget all earthly troubles!"
Yunlong said with a look of longing on his face.
"Is it really that magical?"
Su Chen shook his head slightly with a smile, feeling sowhat skeptical.
"I haven't been there either, but based on what I found out, it feels like not going there would be a disservice to oneself,"
Yunlong continued:
"The most important thing is, there's a woman who plays the zither at this elegant place!"
Upon hearing this, Su Chen imdiately understood: indeed, the real attraction for n remained won!
"Those who've been there say that if Qi ng left an impression of ultimate seductive allure, then this woman leaves an impression sumd up in one word—fairy!"
Yunlong continued excitedly:
"But that woman isn't the owner; she just plays the zither there, leaves after, and never speaks a word to anyone!"
Su Chen, hearing this, indeed felt sowhat intrigued by Yunlong.
"Hearing you say this, I'm quite curious. Let's go take a look then,"
Su Chen said casually.
"Big brother, let's hurry then. It's about ti,"
Yunlong urged hastily.
Su Chen nodded, then left with him. He didn't drive but took Yunlong's car instead.
"Big brother, do you know why Qing Tower closed?"
On the way, Yunlong sighed and said:
"Many people still miss it! Even if they couldn't do anything with Qi ng, just seeing such a charming woman was a kind of enjoynt!"
"She's at my place,"
Su Chen said upon hearing these words, having no need to hide it from Yunlong.
Startled, Yunlong's hand slipped, almost causing him to crash into a car beside them.
Thankfully, he reacted quickly, steering back in ti to avoid a minor traffic accident.
"Big brother, you said Qi ng is at your place?"
Yunlong asked incredulously.
"Yeah, I got an estate from that old swindler, and she's living there now,"
Su Chen replied nonchalantly.
"Big brother, have you taken in Qi ng and kept her at your manor?"
Yunlong's face still showed so shock. He never expected that the Qi ng, desired by countless n, was at his big brother's place!
"Taken in? No, Qi ng and I are just friends. She's rely staying at my place temporarily!"
Su Chen retorted with a smirk.
However, thinking of Qi ng, it's impossible to say he had no thoughts about her at all!
Though much of her previous seductive allure was intentionally displayed, it couldn't be denied she was undoubtedly a creature of temptation for n!
But before, he was already overwheld by a few other won, so he dared not get too involved with Qi ng, sotis even deliberately maintaining so distance.
Now, considering Lin Ruoxue just learned he had three won already, he couldn't find a fourth so soon!
Yet Yunlong, hearing his words, just smirked. Secretly keeping her while claiming to be just friends?
No one would believe that!
Yunlong thought to himself, realizing he needed to push his sister Yunyao a bit, as he was quite certain of his intentions toward her!
.....
Yun Ya Residence was located away from the bustling center of Yandu City, a very elegant structure resembling ancient architecture!
Yunlong drove for nearly an hour before finally reaching there.
"Big brother, let's go in quickly,"
Yunlong said eagerly upon getting out of the car.
Su Chen smiled and walked in with Yunlong.
Once inside, Su Chen noticed there were already many people there. He even saw two or three young masters from the Five Great Families, but they were always from the side branches, not very notable!
With the night fog veiling the surroundings, naturally, they didn't notice Su Chen's presence, and Su Chen couldn't be bothered to pay attention to them.
By now, aside from the Pei Family, he held no grudges with the remaining Four Great Families, and they were nothing more than strangers.
Su Chen looked around and saw willow trees swaying, with a little pavilion not far away, surrounded by a pool of verdant spring water, separating everyone!
The small hall was linked by a pavilion and a corridor, all draped with light veils, while the water glistened under the moonlight, creating an ethereal aura that enveloped the entire pavilion and corridor!
At first glance, it truly felt like a fairyland, leaving one unsure if it was reality or a dream!
Several maids in long skirts were moving among the guests, attending to them.
Despite being maids, their appearances were very fresh and pleasing to the eye!
Su Chen and Yunlong also found an empty table to sit and ordered a pot of sake, as nothing else was available here!
But listening to the zither is an elegant affair, and a bit of sake is sufficient!
Su Chen hadn't originally thought much about it, only accompanying Yunlong out of curiosity.
However, seeing the scene, he couldn't help but have so expectations...
(ps: The heavy rain and cold have caused a delay in updates recently, but everything will be made up soon. I've managed to maintain at least four updates every day for nearly nine months, so please continue to trust in the stormy weather!
As of now, adding today's expected four chapters, a total of 11 are owed. I'll make up for them as quickly as possible!)
