After bidding farewell to Old Qiu, Liu Zixuan left the Celestial Secret Pavilion and headed straight to East City.
On the way, he dialed Jiang Yiyi's phone number. Co to think of it, Liu Zixuan still didn't know where Wang Liang and the others were in East City.
They had secretly helped several tis before, so Liu Zixuan felt he should at least treat them to a al as thanks.
Soon enough, the other end of the call connected, and Jiang Yiyi asked, "Oh, Liu Handso, you finally decided to call ?"
"You're talking like I don't care about you at all." Liu Zixuan asked, "Where are you now?"
"At the tattoo shop, why?"
"What are you doing at a tattoo shop? You're so pretty, why get a tattoo to lower your beauty?" Liu Zixuan asked puzzledly.
"I'm at Uncle Liang's shop," Jiang Yiyi said grumpily, "What, even if I got a tattoo, you have a problem with it?"
"I definitely wouldn't have an issue if you got a Mickey Mouse tattoo," Liu Zixuan grinned, "Alright, no joking, send the address. I need to see Wang Liang about sothing."
Soon after hanging up, Jiang Yiyi sent the address to Liu Zixuan. He set it on the GPS and went straight to the destination.
About half an hour later, Liu Zixuan parked in front of the 'Elegant Cloud' tattoo shop.
Looking at this artistic tattoo shop, Liu Zixuan couldn't fathom how the prestigious Jiang Family could set up such a store in Celestial Capital. They were, after all, a family of mythic stature back then.
Muttering to himself, he shoved his hands in his pockets and walked inside.
"Are you Mr. Liu Zixuan?" The cute receptionist was naturally the girl Yiyi had called before, Xiao Shu.
Seeing Jiang Yiyi nod, Xiao Shu pointed upstairs, "Miss is waiting for you upstairs."
"Thank you," Liu Zixuan smiled warmly and headed upstairs.
Xiao Shu leaned on the reception desk, resting her chin in her hand, murmuring, "No wonder the Miss cares so much, he really is quite the handso guy!"
On the second floor of the tattoo shop.
As soon as Liu Zixuan stepped up, a faint fragrance greeted him. It wasn't perfu or tea, but an intoxicating aroma of wine.
Liu Zixuan squinted his eyes, savoring the scent, and murmured, "Beneath the peach trees, the petals fall; amid the petals, Peach Blossom Brew is made—good wine!"
"Looks like the little doctor likes this Peach Blossom Brew," Wang Liang erged from the side, holding a wine pot and two cups.
Liu Zixuan walked over with a smile, "I must thank Uncle Liang for this!"
"You're in for a treat."
Jiang Yiyi ca out from the side, carrying two plates of snacks, complaining as she placed them on the table, "That Peach Blossom Brew is of upper grade, you know. There's only one jar a year, and I've been here this long but Uncle Liang never took it out."
"What business do girls have with drinking wine," Wang Liang shot Jiang Yiyi a look and poured a cup for Liu Zixuan.
"Peach Blossom Brew is precious, but befriending a little doctor is indeed a fortune," he said.
Liu Zixuan raised his cup with a smile, "This young one can only offer you a toast in symbol of my respect."
"Hahaha!" Wang Liang laughed heartily, clinking glasses with Liu Zixuan before downing the Peach Blossom Brew.
After savoring it for a mont, he laughed and said, "Satisfying, truly satisfying!"
"These roughneck guys, acting like cultured literary n enjoying wine," Jiang Yiyi sat beside them, her face full of disdain.
Liu Zixuan chuckled awkwardly, "Can't a roughneck have a bit of sentintality?"
"You!" Jiang Yiyi was at a loss for words, so she simply took out her phone and stopped talking to them.
Wang Liang turned to Liu Zixuan, "You ca here today, you must have sothing in mind."
"Just a small matter, not in a rush to discuss," Liu Zixuan picked up the wine pot and filled Wang Liang's cup, asking, "Are you really planning to leave?"
"Not much choice. Big brother wouldn't call us back all these years unless it were very important,"
Wang Liang spread his hands, "To be honest, I've been in Celestial Capital for quite a few years. There's bound to be so attachnt, going back suddenly feels a bit lancholic."
"I'm quite curious about what kind of person Yiyi's father really is."
Ever since eting Jiang Yiyi, he had always heard them ntion Jiang Yifan. Back when they were in Yuqing City or Ghost Wood City, Liu Zixuan thought the Jiang Family was just a bit stronger than typical big families, similar to the Willow Association at most.
But upon arriving in Celestial Capital and eting the ten prominent figures, Liu Zixuan gradually realized that his previous assumptions were all wrong; the Jiang Family was sothing entirely unfathomable.
Mysterious and powerful—these words together are probably not enough to explain it.
Let alone the fact that it's Jiang Yifan, the Patriarch in charge of the Jiang Family.
Wang Liang sipped the Peach Blossom Brew, seeming hesitant, as though in thought, then after a while smiled, "Big brother isn't as complex as others think, probably because of so things he did in the early years, shrouding him in a cloak of mystery."
"Anyway, I think he's been the sa ever since we knew him when we were little, hasn't changed much."
"But I must say, there's a place where you two are very alike."
Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow, "Where's that?"
"Uncle Liang, you've got it wrong, it's two places." Jiang Yiyi turned her head angrily, "Their skin is definitely the thickest in the world."
"And what's the other one?" Liu Zixuan asked again.
"They have good luck with won," Wang Liang gave a bitter smile, "Your charm with won is no less than my brother's. But my brother's won ca from ordinary origins and worked their way up, unlike your cases, where each beauty around you has a deeper and deeper background."
"Good luck with won—just a playboy dressed up as a radish!" Jiang Yiyi grumbled.
Wang Liang laughed lightly, "A playboy, yet you like him so much."
"Who likes him!" Jiang Yiyi's eyes widened, hands on her hips, and she scolded, "Wang Liang, listen up! If you dare tell the family I like Liu Zixuan, I'll make you regret it!"
"You little rascal, no respect for elders!" Wang Liang scolded, annoyed.
"Hey, Wang Liang, are you acting like I don't have ways to deal with you!" Saying this, Jiang Yiyi directly took out her phone, found a na in the contact list, and waved it at Wang Liang, "Believe it or not, one call and you'll beg for rcy!"
"No, no, please don't." Seeing the na, Wang Liang imdiately softened, quickly went over and sat Jiang Yiyi next to Liu Zixuan, "Whatever you say, Miss, just no more phone calls—it's costly over such a distance."
Jiang Yiyi laughed smugly, "See, if you were like this with from the start, none of this would have happened!"
Liu Zixuan watched the two, secretly wondering how heroic Wang Liang used to be in battles, yet now he was completely tad by this little vixen Jiang Yiyi...
