Chapter 96: I’ll Be Back Next Time
Hearing the madam’s excited words, Gu Yu was not surprised at all.
Gu Yu had long predicted such a result.
He had already made such a great sacrifice; if he still couldn’t see Xiao Huaixian, it would have been a wasted effort.
“Alright, I’ve also heard of Xiao Huaixian for a long time. I really don’t know what’s so good about her. Today, I’ll get a good look.”
“Oh my~ Young master, after seeing Xiao Huaixian, don’t be so enchanted that you don’t want to go home!”
Afterward, Gu Yu nodded at the madam, then took out the silver from his embrace and threw it over. After the madam weighed the silver, her old face immediately broke into a smile like a blooming flower, and she quickly took Gu Yu to Xiao Huaixian.
This young master is not only good-looking but also a great rich man!
Even Xiao Huaixian, who had refused visitors for several days, was moved, making the madam very excited, thinking that it would be fine if Xiao Huaixian could win over this wealthy patron!
At least, it was better than staying in the room all day.
However, she had seen some men come to see Xiao Huaixian these past few days, and she didn’t know what was going on.
Could it be that Xiao Huaixian was taking guests behind her back!
“Xianxian, the guest has arrived~”
Mulling over these thoughts, when the madam brought Gu Yu to Xiao Huaixian’s door, she wore an ambiguous smile and reached out on behalf of Gu Yu to knock on the door.
Then, upon hearing a “Please come in” from inside, Gu Yu pushed the door open without politeness, wanting to see Xiao Huaixian’s true face.
However, upon entering the room, Gu Yu saw a woman who was very familiar… Wasn’t this the very imposing woman he had just seen?
So, she was Xiao Huaixian.
However, with such a powerful appearance, she couldn’t possibly win over so many high-ranking officials and rich merchants!
Or perhaps… those men liked this kind of taste?
“You are Xiao Huaixian? Why does it feel different from the rumors!”
“Young master, you shouldn’t say that. It’s normal not to hide your true face when you see the person you like.”
As Gu Yu slightly raised the corner of his mouth and spoke, he looked at Xiao Huaixian, who was leaning on the chaise longue, and saw that her smile was very fake when she spoke.
With such a clumsy performance, he really didn’t know how those foolish men were fooled.
Just by appearance, she wasn’t as good as him, a man!
However, perhaps because Xiao Huaixian didn’t care, she had such a casual attitude towards Gu Yu.
But Gu Yu wouldn’t take her word for it and foolishly believe that things were really like this.
“But, looking at you, you don’t seem like you’ve seen the person you like.”
“Young master is joking, how could I…”
Hearing Gu Yu’s words, Xiao Huaixian immediately raised her sleeve and covered her mouth with a smile, then stretched on the chair, not finishing her words. After standing up, she swayed her snake-like waist and gracefully walked towards Gu Yu.
Gu Yu also smiled gently, raised his sleeve, and flicked it towards Xiao Huaixian, scattering the medicinal powder he had prepared, causing Xiao Huaixian to fall to the ground and fall into a deep sleep.
This Xiao Huaixian didn’t seem like a good person!
However, he was in league with the mysterious person, so he wasn’t a good person to begin with.
“Alright, now let me see what you were preparing to do.”
After incapacitating Xiao Huaixian, Gu Yu picked up a pair of chopsticks from the table beside him, then clamped her sleeve, and saw a small porcelain bottle hidden in her sleeve with the cap open.
As expected, she still wanted to make a move on him!
Gu Yu raised the chopsticks and, while taking the porcelain bottle out from her sleeve, he didn’t approach rashly to be safe. Instead, he sprinkled the medicinal powder on Xiao Huaixian, preparing to let her try the effects.
Even if Xiao Huaixian was poisoned to death, it wouldn’t be a big deal, and it could even simplify things.
At least without Xiao Huaixian’s help, the plans of Wuhe Kingdom and Changlin Kingdom would be stillborn.
After all, they lacked the ability to contact the high levels of Minghua.
Just thinking about it, Gu Yu could guess the enemy’s plan… it was nothing more than using Xiao Huaixian’s reputation to investigate the terrain when visiting an official’s home, and to prepare for a silent infiltration later.
It was estimated that the missing officials in Hua City were directly abducted in such a situation.
As for what happened afterward, they were probably all dead.
It seemed that Wuhe Kingdom and Changlin Kingdom also knew that they had fewer people, so they adopted this time-consuming and troublesome plan to quickly reduce the population of Hua City.
This way, when they launched their attack, there would be much less resistance.
However, they probably couldn’t enter the Imperial Palace.
In that case, what kind of plan would they have!
If it weren’t for Gu Mengyao and the others being here, Gu Yu would have wanted to see the outcome. Unfortunately… if the enemy succeeded, they wouldn’t be able to go back.
Therefore, it was better to round them up as soon as possible.
However, it was better for Xiao Huaixian to be alive for now.
Then it would be more interesting!
Gu Yu waited for a while, and when he saw that the medicine had not taken effect, he began to wander around Xiao Huaixian’s room, with the idea of ‘robbing the rich to help the poor’ itching. He wondered if Xiao Huaixian had any good stuff.
As for gold and silver jewelry, Gu Yu no longer looked at them.
Only silver and silver notes were the most practical things!
What’s more, after Gu Yu investigated, he indeed found quite a few large silver notes, and he happily threw them directly into his space.
When he discovered the small box hidden in the wall, Gu Yu raised his eyebrows at the keyhole on it. Then he returned to Xiao Huaixian’s side, ready to search her for a hidden key.
The box was made of metal, and it couldn’t be opened by brute force… Although he could take it back and have Gu Mengyao break it open, Gu Yu didn’t want to trouble his wife if he could do it himself.
Moreover, even if Xiao Huaixian was naked in front of him, Gu Yu wouldn’t have any interest.
However, after taking off several layers of clothes, Gu Yu looked at the bun in his hand and was speechless, thinking, “No way!”
Xiao Huaixian wasn’t a woman???
With such a doubt, Gu Yu took off a few more layers, and when he saw Xiao Huaixian’s flat chest, he immediately confirmed his thoughts.
Damn it, the Xiao Huaixian who was famous in Hua City was actually a man.
This disguise was too deep!
When Gu Yu recovered from his surprise, he didn’t dwell on the fact that Xiao Huaixian was a man. He quickly took the key hanging around his neck and turned around to open the small box.
As soon as the key was inserted, the small box opened.
However, there wasn’t much inside, except for a few bottles of dark green liquid, some hidden weapons, and a letter that had already been opened.
When Gu Yu opened the letter, a line of text caught his eye.
“Find an opportunity to break through Minghua. Those who come from Linfeng, remember to be careful.”
It was similar to the letter Gu Yu found last time, and the handwriting was exactly the same. It seemed that this was a letter recently sent by the mysterious person.
He didn’t know if it was the mysterious person’s subordinate who was too adoring of him, causing the letter that should have been destroyed to be well preserved. Perhaps he wanted to admire it after a period of time, so he didn’t want to destroy it.
However, it was cheaper for Gu Yu now.
If the mysterious person knew about it, he would probably be furious… or the mysterious person wouldn’t care at all. As long as he couldn’t find the person himself, it wouldn’t matter if a few letters were left behind.
Thinking about this, Gu Yu put all the items in the small box into his space, and then went to observe Xiao Huaixian’s condition, to see what kind of poison he was trying to administer just now.
As a result, Xiao Huaixian was filled with lust… to put it simply, he was in heat.
That’s right, he was truly in heat.
Especially the action of hugging the chair leg and rubbing was very eye-catching.
Coupled with the sounds of “En en, ah ah,” Gu Yu wanted to leave quickly to prevent his eyes and ears from being further poisoned.
This Xiao Huaixian was truly malicious! He had actually prepared to give him such medicine, which made Gu Yu furious just thinking about it!
However, it could also be considered self-inflicted.
Thinking thus, Gu Yu felt that it was better to slip away quickly to prevent Xiao Huaixian from making any noise, which would make it difficult to escape.
So, Gu Yu tidied his clothes, put on a spring-like smile, and as he pushed the door open, he generously gave some change to the pimp guarding outside, directly handing him a few taels of silver.
This immediately made the pimp’s face light up with a smile, and he thanked Gu Yu repeatedly.
“Your pavilion’s number one beauty is indeed as famous as they say. I’ll be back next time.”
“As long as young master had a good time, you’re welcome to come again next time.”
Acting as if he was saying that to the pimp, Gu Yu opened his folding fan with a ‘swish’ and then left潇洒ly. The pimp behind him looked on with envy, thinking why he didn’t have such looks and wealth.
If he did, he would stay in the company of women every day and enjoy a life of leisure and happiness, wouldn’t that be wonderful!
“Sir, please come again next time!”
“Yes, next time you come, remember to pick me! It’s free.”
“Go, go, go. Young master is blind if he picks you. He will definitely come to find me.”
“You little cheap slut, I’ll beat you to death.”
“Come on, who’s afraid of who.”
“Young master, this servant really likes you!”
When Gu Yu walked out of the Hongluan Pavilion at a faster pace, he stood outside and took a breath of fresh air. After washing away the scent of powder from his nose, he finally seemed to have come back to life and walked towards the inn.
Although the purpose of finding Xiao Huaixian this time was to get closer and see if he could inquire about people from Wuhe Kingdom and Changlin Kingdom, the result was not ideal.
Or rather, the mysterious person had predicted their arrival in advance and had already sent a message to alert Xiao Huaixian and others, which was why they wanted to administer medicine as soon as they saw Gu Yu.
Unfortunately, Gu Yu had the same idea as him.
Moreover, he made the first move!
It’s just that Gu Yu still couldn’t figure out why Xiao Huaixian didn’t administer poison, but instead administered an aphrodisiac??
