She’s just like a shy little girl.
"Really, sister, what do you think of your husband?"
Ning Xin put away her teasing and asked seriously.
Lan ng’Er and Luan Ying also looked at Qin Ying, both wanting to know her thoughts.
"I don’t know!"
Qin Ying raised her head and spoke slowly.
She admitted she had a good impression of Chen Xuan, but that was not important.
First of all, her identity was as a mber of the Great Yu’s Imperial Family.
Her marriage certainly needed her father’s approval, her own opinion... actually wasn’t important.
Even though her father adored her.
However, in this matter, she still didn’t have a say.
Just like before, when he viciously beat that person, and was then severely reprimanded by her father.
This is the Imperial Family.
They enjoy what others can’t, but conversely, they must pay other prices.
"I understand!"
Ning Xin walked over to her and held her in her arms.
"Your noble status sotis puts you in difficult situations, this sister knows."
"But don’t underestimate your husband, he is a genius, as long as you’re willing, this sister believes everything won’t be a problem!"
She had an inexplicable confidence in Chen Xuan.
Even for the princess of Great Yu, he was worthy.
"I hope so!"
...
Of course, Chen Xuan didn’t know about any of this.
At this mont, he had already arrived at the entrance of the Ancient Moon Studio.
Upon entering, he saw no one!
"Miss Gu, I, Chen, have co as agreed."
He called out, then leaned against the counter, waiting.
A mont later, the sound of footsteps ca from inside.
"Not just one person!"
Chen Xuan didn’t feel it, but just using his hearing, he analyzed it wasn’t only Gu Pengyou, and from the weight of the footsteps, he deduced it should be another woman.
"It’s you!"
"You!"
Chen Xuan and another woman spoke almost simultaneously.
This woman was none other than the owner of Nine Immortals Tower, Xian Si!
"You two know each other?"
Beside them, Gu Pengyou was greatly surprised. How could her friend, who rarely showed herself, know him?
"Hehe!"
"So Pengyou, the learned friend you spoke of is him? This friend of yours is indeed sothing. Yesterday at Nine Immortals Tower, he boldly bid several million taels, buying nine girls in one fell swoop!"
"Truly very wealthy!"
Xian Si said with a sarcastic tone.
She had been in closed-door cultivation for over half a year, and it was because of him that she had to co out last night.
Imagine how displeased she was.
She didn’t expect him to be Gu Pengyou’s friend.
"You went to the brothel?"
Gu Pengyou looked at Chen Xuan in disbelief, while her brows furrowed.
In her eyes, how could soone as scholarly as Chen Xuan go to such a disreputable place, even if the owner of Nine Immortals Tower was her friend?
"You still have the nerve to speak? I spent several million taels and did nothing, just drank a few cups of tea... oh, and listened to a song, truly outrageous!"
What’s wrong with going to a brothel?
If you don’t go, he doesn’t go, would Nine Immortals Tower have the sa fa now?
Not to ntion, spending so much silver and doing nothing, thinking back, he already felt it was a huge loss.
"Humph!"
Xian Si turned her head away, refusing to look at him.
At this mont, Gu Pengyou spoke up, "Most of the money Nine Immortals Tower earns is given away to the poor."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan was very surprised.
He didn’t expect people like this to exist in the world?
Really, one can’t judge a person by their appearance, running a brothel business, yet still doing such benevolent deeds.
This really proved the saying true, never judge by appearances.
"Alright, consider this Young Master also doing a good deed."
With this thought, he felt more at ease.
Even though he spoke this way, Xian Si still looked puffed up with anger.
Seeing the atmosphere becoming more awkward, Gu Pengyou quickly introduced, "Young Master Xuan, my sister Xian Si is not only a genius in Martial Dao but also surpasses in scholarship, so I specially invited her to help today!"
"Her?"
Chen Xuan really blurted out.
One couldn’t judge a book by its cover indeed, this woman was truly surprising.
Not only outstanding in strength, she opened Nine Immortals Tower. Without discussing the motive, to make Nine Immortals Tower this renowned, she must have a top-notch mind.
Unexpectedly, now her scholarship even surpassed Gu Pengyou.
She truly was a genius among geniuses.
"What’s wrong? Any issues?"
Hearing his tone, Xian Si beca even more discontent.
Gu Pengyou was trained by her hand over hand.
"No issue, just very surprised!"
Chen Xuan smiled, then walked to the table while Gu Pengyou imdiately started to grind ink.
Picking up the wolf hair brush on the table, he thought for a mont and started writing.
Initially, Xian Si had opinions about Chen Xuan and was reluctant to look, but as he wrote more and more ancient characters, her expression gradually changed.
Beside them, Gu Pengyou, who was grinding ink, smiled slightly.
Like her, Xian Si loved reading and researching ancient scripts, aside from cultivation.
As she said, Xian Si’s research went much deeper than hers.
This was also the reason she was invited.
After an hour, more than two hundred ancient characters were written in a brilliant display.
These characters were ones Chen Xuan did not recognize.
Once these characters were deciphered, he could fully understand the Ancient Book.
Putting down the pen, he made a gesture inviting the two ladies, then stepped aside.
"Sister Xian Si!"
"Hmm!"
The two ladies began to study carefully.
"This is... ’Man’?"
"Not quite, it’s more like ’Luan’!"
...
They discussed word by word, even argued several tis.
