Wei Shi Lan walked across the streets of Lake Valley, studying not just the people but the town itself.
He studied the atmosphere of the town itself, and although he couldn’t tell why, Lake Valley was drenched with an air of death. And he couldn’t figure out why.
He silently walked and soon reached a tall pagoda with obsidian roof and deep wine-colored walls.
It had several floors, and on the top floor was written, dicine Hall.
Wei Shi Lan confidently trotted into the building and was imdiately greeted by a young and beautiful maiden wearing a white and blue robe with her hair neatly tied back to a bun; the bun itself was packed inside a white tie.
"Hello, how can we..."
The lady went silent as she saw who entered. She blinked several tis and her mouth refused to close since it opened.
Wei Shi Lan did not notice her state; instead, he studied the ground hall.
The place was vast with people sitting here and there. More ladies like the lady before him tended to the people who were seated.
Many of them were either holding their back, arm or waist. He finally looked at the lady and said.
"I need Sui Rong."
The attendant lady’s brows twitched. She inhaled deeply before responding with a calm tone.
"Listen, Visitor, you might have the face of one of those Venerable Immortals but you’re just a man, a rotten man of the Lake Valley, useless and addicted to gambling just like the rest of them. What gives you the right to think that you can walk in here and ask for the Madam, calling her by na as if you’ve been in the sa room with her!"
The lady tried her best to sound as nice as possible despite being infuriated by the young man’s tone.
Wei Shi Lan had not been properly looking at the lady but now that she spoke, he finally rested his gaze on her.
As she t his manly gaze, she suddenly felt sothing tingle in between her legs, and quickly looked away. It was difficult to hold onto such a gaze. She had spoken as a normal Attendant of the dicine Hall, since the man was being way too rude.
But now, she slightly regretted it.
’What if he’s not from Lake Valley, he looks handso and I don’t even have a husband yet, he’s not bad, not bad at all, but did I just ruin it by trying to defend Lady Sui.’ She thought to herself in bitter regret.
At the sa ti, that was that... and this was this.
’He may be handso, but look at his clothes, he’s obviously not making ends et, and if I lose my job because I want to marry him, is he going to feed with his handso face? I’m sorry but I have to choose this precious job.’
She had made a decision in her mind, even though Wei Shi Lan had absolutely no idea!
He sighed.
"Yes, I have been with her in a room. Now, go get her for ."
The lady blinked, her face utterly twisted by disbelief.
"What? How dare you?! I can’t believe for a mont, I made excuses for you. You dare intend to slander our lady’s na?! Saying things like you’ve been in the sa room with her!"
She folded her hands and said to him, laughing.
"There’s no way! No way a wretched man like you can be lucky enough to be in the sa room with our Great dicine Hall Lady! You shaless liar. Hmph! I truly hate jobless n who think being handso is everything!"
Shi Lan’s face was indifferent to the words the lady spoke.
Her loud voice and despicable laughter had attracted attention such that another lady reached them. This one wore a robe of pure white that hugged her figure mischievously.
She turned to her colleague.
"Yanni, what’s going on here?"
The lady bowed to the new lady.
"Senior, this man here claims to have been in the sa room with the dicine Hall Lady, and he keeps calling her rudely despite being so young."
The new lady turned to Shi Lan, gauging him with an expressionless face before saying anything.
"Dear Visitor, is this true?"
Shi Lan shrugged.
"Like I said, this is quite urgent; go to her and tell her, the Benevolent Leader is here."
As he uttered the na, the lady’s eyes widened. Even Yanni, who was now fiercely angered, widened her eyes and her mind started racing.
’The Benevolent Leader?! Wait, the one that is making the dicine Hall lose female custors and the Hall Leader has been very angry for the past few days, that Benevolent Leader?!’
Not just her, even the sick n were looking at him with scorn. These were the two kinds of reaction Shi Lan’s title got in Lake Valley whenever it was ntioned.
Favorability and liking from won, and hatred from n, as if he was the bane of their existence. Well, even though he wasn’t, he was currently on his way to becoming exactly that.
As the new lady heard his title, her voice changed, becoming more tender.
"To what honor do we owe the visit of our great competitor?"
Wei Shi Lan sighed, already getting tired.
"I said... fetch Sui Rong for ."
At that mont, the Hall Leader slowly walked down the stairs, walking to the Hall center. He greeted patients as he walked along.
"Guang, how’s that hand of yours, is it coming along? Able to lift it now. Ah, ah, I see... well it’ll get better in days, just make sure you don’t go putting your hand in another Flower Maiden’s skirt so rudely!"
Guang was a man that looked to be in his late forties. He looked away shafully, laughing awkwardly.
"Fei Fei!! Your back will be straight in no ti, trust , you won’t be hunched!"
"Hall Leader, that’s the sa thing you said last ti and I am here again." Fei Fei replied begrudgingly.
"Trust , Fei, this is the last ti you will be here..."
He strolled forward, greeted more people with a charismatic smile before he eventually reached the center of the commotion at the entrance of the hall.
As he approached behind the lady in white, he stylishly sent his hand to her rear, fondling it but hiding it with his body.
However, Shi Lan’s eyes were on the Hall Leader’s hand; he studied with nonchalance.
"Ooohhh, I heard sothing about the Benevolent Leader, here."
He looked around, clearing his throat and folding his hands behind his back.
"Who would that be?"
Shi Lan said nothing and simply looked at the man; his gaze was utterly unreadable.
The Hall Leader repositioned himself, feeling slightly intimidated by the man’s gait, his face and stature.
"Well, speak young boy! Why are you here?"
Shi Lan looked the man in the eyes... and said:
"I’m here to see your wife, take to her."
