, "Princess Dong Xuan, I have something to ask you. Do you recall… anything from last night""Cough, cough, Xi Ming Huang, why are you suddenly speaking in that tone You almost scared me out of my wits..."No thanks, I don't feel like it." Su Qingying counted her silver notes, ignoring him.
Shangguan Jinghong strode to her, reaching out to touch her forehead. She impatiently swatted his hand away. "What are you doing"
"You're not interested in silver anymore! Did something happen to you" Shangguan Jinghong was astonished by this, considering her intense love for silver.
"You don't know women always have days when they are irritable and listless, do you" Su Qingying said with a glance.
"Which days" Shangguan Jinghong leaned in, clearly very interested.
"Come on, period!"
"... Shangguan Jinghong's smile froze instantly. "
Seeing that she was ignoring him again, Shangguan Jinghong appeared before her once more, coaxing her with various enticements, "Why aren't you playing That's so boring! Are you just going to stay cooped up here all day How about I take you out of the palace for a drink This palace knows a place that sells particularly sweet wine."
"You treat me to a meal, and I'll accompany you out of the palace." Hearing this, Su Qingying finally relented and shifted her gaze from the silver note, giving him a proper look.
My elder brother only asked him to keep his distance from Jun Liye, but he didn't say anything about not going out for drinks with Shangguan Jinghong. Plus, it's free.
Thinking this way, Su Qingying no longer hesitated and decisively followed him out of the palace.
Considering that going to a bar in women's clothing was rather inappropriate, Su Qingying changed into men's attire. A white robe fluttered around her, her green hair simply tied back with a silver ribbon. Clean and simple, it exuded an air of elegance and grace. Compared to the stunning beauty of her female attire, this male outfit added a touch of casual freedom. Shangguan Jinghong was utterly astonished by her transformation.
After leaving Ximing Palace, Shangguan Jinhong took her to the Drunk Fragrance Wine House with ease.

"Rogue Am I being a rogue" Saying this, Shangguan Jinghong lowered her head to look at her own attire. Well, she was indeed dashing and handsome.
Su Qingying couldn't help but take a few more sips, and after satisfying herself, she unceremoniously struck back: "A big man who dresses in red every day and parades through the city, isn't he a showman Shouldn't you be called Shangguan Rooster"
" ... " Shangguan Jinghong's mouth twitched uncontrollably. Comparing the two titles, he decisively chose the former, “Forget it, just call him a scoundrel."
"Hey, have you heard Rumor has it that people from Luoyue Palace have arrived in our Imperial City," someone began, breaking the quiet of the second floor of Zui Xiang Wine House.
“Falling Moon Palace The mysterious organization rumored to kill without mercy Isn't their headquarters on the border of Beiling Kingdom How could they travel such a long distance to our Ximing Imperial City” Falling Moon Palace has always been a legend in the Jianghu. Its immense power forced even various royal families to treat it with caution.
"Who knows, I heard they sent a lot of people this time, they're here specifically to look for their Palace Master."
"The Palace Master of Luoyue Palace, Yun Ling Could it be true what people say Is it true that the Palace Master of Luoyue Palace has disappeared"
"A while back, there was a wave of assassins at the Full Moon Building. It's said that they were all killed without a trace by the Falling Moon Palace!"
"..."
Su Qingying listened quietly to their discussion, her brow slightly furrowed. It turned out that the person who saved her last time was from Luoyue Palace. They sounded impressive, but why did they help her without any reason last time
Shangguan Jinghong shed his usual frivolity, his eyes sinking deep, unreadable and inscrutable, leaving others unable to guess what he was thinking.
"Lan Xin Yao Where is she going" Su Qingying leaned against the railing, quite bored. She casually caught sight of Lan Xin Yao appearing in the crowd. A mischievous glint flashed in her phoenix eyes. Suddenly playful, she put aside Shangguan Jinghong, who was preoccupied with her thoughts, and quietly followed Lan Xin Yao.
Realizing that someone was following her, Lan Xin Yao turned into a narrow alley alone. She calmly turned around and said in a cold voice: "You've followed me for so long, shouldn't you show yourself now"
“Haha, I thought I had hidden very well, but I didn't expect you to find me. You little beauty are quite vigilant.” Su Qingying was startled. She was extremely confident in her hiding skills; ordinary people would definitely not be able to find her. The only explanation was that Lan Xinyao was definitely not simple.
However, since she had already been discovered, Su Qingying didn't need to hide anymore. She walked out openly instead.
Lan Xinyao appeared calm and collected, not panicking at all. Even Su Qingying had to admire her courage, "Xinyao, when did you offend this person Why are they following you"
"Which man wouldn't like a beautiful woman Looking at your figure, it's truly captivating. I wonder how skilled you are in bed" Saying that, Su Qingying glanced at Lan Xinyao's full chest and smiled lewdly, playing the role of a vulgar scoundrel perfectly.
Normally, this Blue Heart Jade appears arrogant and aloof. This is a perfect opportunity to tease her good.
"Looking for death!" Lan Xin Yao's eyes suddenly turned cold, two silk ribbons from her sleeves shot out, carrying a fierce killing intent towards Su Qingying.
I thought Blue Heart Yao was just a delicate and weak white lotus, but I didn't expect her to not only have amazing skills, but also to be quite skilled in martial arts.
Su Qingying reacted a moment too slowly, barely dodging her attack.
After being stunned, a smile spread across Su Qingying's pretty face, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "Well, I didn't expect you to know martial arts, interesting. This young master likes to tame wild flowers like you."
“I didn’t want to kill you, but you came right to me. You have no one to blame but yourself.” Lan Xin Yao’s eyes flashed with a cold light, her killing intent unmistakable.
Now that this person knows her secret about martial arts, she can't let him live! Only a dead man can keep a secret safe!
Under the peony flowers, even death is romantic. Well, you smell so good on you. Su Qingying circled behind her and mischievously puffed air towards her neck.
Lan Xin Yao's heart churned with nausea, her eyes turning cold and menacing. Several concealed weapons, hidden beneath her sash, flew towards Su Qingying dangerously.
"Be careful!" Just as Lan Xin Yao's hidden weapon was about to strike her, a gust of palm wind suddenly descended, sending Lan Xin Yao's weapon straight into the nearby tree.
A woman in green leaped down from the wall. She was exceptionally beautiful, with naturally graceful eyebrows and vermilion lips, her clothes fluttering gracefully, veiled beneath a veil. Her beauty was so captivating that one couldn't tear their eyes away.
The visitor was none other than Situ Wan'er, who stood beside Zheng Shi Rongyue.
Glancing coldly at Situ Wan'er, Lan Xinyao's eyes glinted with even colder light. She felt a tinge of regret that the hidden weapon had missed earlier and failed to take Su Qingying's life, "Hmph, another one looking for death!"
"Let's go!" Situ Wan'er clearly didn't want to get entangled with Lan Xin Yao any further. She threw out a smoke bomb with two fingers, grabbed Su Qingying's arm, and lightly tapped her toes, using light kung fu to quickly leave the alley.
"Damn it!" Lan Xinyao gritted her teeth, almost breaking one as she watched them leave.and daze that flashed in Xuan Yuan Che's eyes when he looked at Su Qingying. Lan Xin Yao couldn't help but clench the skirt by her side, the jealousy hidden in her heart was like a fire, no matter how...
