Chapter 97: He will get revenge sooner or later!
Going out was not without harvest. On the way back to the inn, Gu Yu played with the small bottle of green liquid in his hand, wondering what it was.
Just by looking at the color, it felt like poison!
Thinking this, Gu Yu quickened his pace. After seeing no one around, he directly opened the bottle cap, threw it into a corner of a flower bed, and then quietly observed what would happen.
Not long after, a large patch of flowers on the soil sprinkled with green liquid quickly withered and died, as if it were a scene from a special effects blockbuster!
“It really is poison, but the medicinal effect is too strong!”
Looking at the scene before him, Gu Yu couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, thinking that the effect of the poison was too good, making him want to stockpile some for future use.
It’s a pity that the poison was given by a mysterious person.
Unless the mysterious person’s head was stuck in a door, they would send Gu Yu poison.
After testing the effect of the poison, Gu Yu then set off for the inn again, preparing to rest.
He had been busy for half a day, but fortunately, he still had a harvest… he just didn’t know what Xiao Huaixian would look like later.
It was probably not going to be good.
“Mengyao, you’re not asleep yet?”
“Mmm, I was waiting for you to come back.”
When Gu Yu finally returned to the inn room, he saw Gu Mengyao sitting by the table, idly reading a book, not sleeping or resting on the bed.
When Gu Yu’s voice sounded, Gu Mengyao’s spirits immediately lifted. When she looked up at Gu Yu, her dark eyes were filled with joy.
However, as Gu Yu approached and smelled the scent of perfume on him, Gu Mengyao’s good mood vanished instantly.
She even had the urge to hit someone.
Where did Gu Yu go???
Why did he have the smell of another woman on him!
Then, when Gu Yu saw his little wife’s unhappy expression, he felt completely bewildered.
Hadn’t she been fine just now?
How did she change in the blink of an eye?
“Wife, what’s wrong!”
“What’s wrong? Gu Yu, didn’t you say you were going out to gather information? How did you end up investigating that kind of place! We have a mission this time, we can’t just do as we please! Besides, I’m already fifteen this year, and if Yu wants me to, he completely can…”
“Wait, Mengyao, you misunderstood! I wasn’t playing around, I was really investigating.”
“???”
Gu Yu didn’t know why his little wife was being moody, but after hearing her words, he immediately knew the reason.
So, his little wife was jealous.
When Gu Yu left earlier, he hadn’t explained in detail that he was going to the brothel, fearing that Gu Mengyao would be angry. In the end, it couldn’t be avoided.
His little wife’s nose was too sensitive.
However, saying that she was fifteen and could do things if he wanted was too much of a cheat!
He was in the prime of his youth, and when he heard such words, his heart couldn’t help but race.
Then, as Gu Yu was about to tease Gu Mengyao, he saw that she was about to get angry, so he quickly and honestly explained the reason, so as not to truly anger Gu Mengyao and make her ignore him again.
“Wife, have you forgotten Xiao Huaixian? I went to the brothel this time to see him and try to get some information out of him.”
“Did you see him?”
After hearing Gu Yu’s explanation, Gu Mengyao didn’t continue to be angry. She looked at Gu Yu with curiosity, very much wanting to know how things would unfold.
Although she was very angry just now, after hearing that Gu Yu didn’t want to drink and enjoy himself but was seriously investigating, Gu Mengyao had nothing to be angry about.
Even, remembering what she had just said, Gu Mengyao’s cheeks instantly turned red.
She was too shameless!
“I did, but it was a bit different from what I expected.”
“?”
“Xiao Huaixian already knows we’ve arrived in Minghua Kingdom… As soon as we met, he wanted to give me an aphrodisiac. Fortunately, I was smart enough to strike first and incapacitate him with medicine.”
Seeing that his wife’s anger had finally subsided, Gu Yu felt relieved. Then, he thought about what he was about to say next, which was even more shocking!
After all, who had ever encountered a man as a courtesan…
“Also, I discovered that Xiao Huaixian is a man.”
“!!!”
As expected, when Gu Yu spoke, Gu Mengyao couldn’t help but show a shocked expression. She obviously hadn’t expected… such a thing to happen!
The famous Xiao Huaixian was a man!
Then, how did he manage to hide it from others?
Wait! Didn’t Ah Yu just say that Xiao Huaixian wanted to give him an aphrodisiac…
“Ah Yu, are you okay!”
“Of course, I’m fine. On the contrary, I even managed to give Xiao Huaixian the aphrodisiac, and the medicinal effect probably hasn’t worn off yet! Mengyao, don’t worry, your husband has never suffered a loss at the hands of others!”
Hearing Gu Mengyao’s somewhat anxious voice, Gu Yu felt a mix of amusement and helplessness, thinking that his little wife was being too worried!
How could someone like Xiao Huaixian make Gu Yu suffer!
Even if Xiao Huaixian had ill intentions towards him, he would never succeed.
“It’s good that you’re okay, Ah Yu. It seems Hua City is not safe either. Next time we go out, let’s go together!”
“Mmm. However, this trip was quite rewarding… I found the letter sent by the mysterious person, here, this is it.”
As he spoke, Gu Yu took out the letter from his space and handed it to Gu Mengyao.
When Gu Mengyao took it, she took the paper out of the envelope and frowned when she saw the words on it, clearly displeased with the mysterious person’s interference.
However, the mysterious person was hidden in the dark now, and they couldn’t harm him.
They could only wait for him to come out of the dark on his own…
However, it was unlikely.
“Eh? Ah Yu, there’s also a piece of paper in the envelope.”
“?”
As Gu Yu was thinking about these things, Gu Mengyao suddenly spoke in surprise. Then she tore open the envelope and took out a small piece of paper.
This was a bit unexpected for Gu Yu, there was another one?
“Mengyao, quickly read what it says!”
“Mmm… ‘Love Flower Festival, take action.'”
After hearing Gu Mengyao’s voice, Gu Yu couldn’t help but laugh, thinking it was just what he needed, this piece of paper had appeared at the most opportune moment!
However, it was also fortunate that Gu Mengyao was meticulous.
Otherwise, they would have missed this important piece of information.
“Ah Yu, if I guessed correctly, this is the time for Wuhe Kingdom and Changlin Kingdom to make a move!”
“Mmm, I think so too. However, we still need to send people out to inquire about when the Love Flower Festival is. It probably won’t be long.”
“I’ll go now.”
After Gu Yu nodded to Gu Mengyao, she immediately couldn’t sit still and wanted to go out to clarify, but Gu Yu stopped her.
The journey had been tiring enough, and there was no rush. It was better to rest now.
“Mengyao, let’s rest first. The festival isn’t going anywhere.”
“Alright!”
Then, after Gu Yu persuaded his little wife, to prevent Gu Mengyao from sneaking out, Gu Yu decided to sleep outside.
Having an action-oriented wife was not easy for him!
…
“Has that young master left?”
“He has!”
“Why did he leave so quickly? Could it be that Xiao Huaixian didn’t serve him well? This damned girl is getting bolder and bolder!”
After Gu Yu left, the madam eagerly went to Xiao Huaixian’s side and chatted with the eunuch guarding the door.
Upon hearing that Gu Yu had already left, the madam’s face immediately revealed strong dissatisfaction. She felt it was too unwise for Xiao Huaixian to let Gu Yu, such a catch, go.
Did Xiao Huaixian still want to continue in this profession!
Don’t think that just because she’s young and beautiful now she can spend freely. When she loses her beauty, she’ll know how hard life is.
The madam was once the top courtesan of Hongluan Pavilion, but now! After losing her looks, she was ignored.
Fortunately, she inherited Hongluan Pavilion, otherwise, who knows what would have happened!
So, when she saw Xiao Huaixian’s condition, the madam felt a sense of disappointment, thinking that Xiao Huaixian should seize the moment to find more fallback options for herself. Even if she couldn’t find someone to truly entrust herself to, she should save enough money!
Men are all big liars. Believing them is worse than believing a dog can climb a tree.
Money is the most practical thing.
“That’s not quite right. When that young master left, his expression was quite good! He even gave me a lot of silver!”
“Really?”
“Do you think I would lie to you, Madam? However, that young master has been gone for a while, and Xiao Huaixian inside is still crying out.”
As he spoke, the eunuch had a flirtatious smile on his face.
He didn’t expect… that young master was quite capable for his age!
He was truly amazing.
When the madam heard the eunuch’s words, she felt relieved. Then, listening to the sounds from the room, she couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction, thinking it should be like this!
However, she worried that the young master might be extraordinarily gifted and ruin Xiao Huaixian.
This was the signboard of Hongluan Pavilion!
“Xianxian, Mom is here to see you~”
As she pushed the door open with a smile, before the madam could say anything, a dagger suddenly flew towards her, piercing the forehead of the eunuch standing beside the madam, leaving him no time to react and sending him to hell.
“Don’t you dare call out, or I’ll kill you too!”
Then, before the madam could scream, Xiao Huaixian’s voice suddenly rang out, making the madam quickly raise her hand to stop herself from making a sound, lest she follow the eunuch to the west.
However, Xiao Huaixian’s voice sounded a bit different…
It was hoarser…
“What… what on earth is going on!”
“Don’t ask too many questions. Go out now and find any man, then give him an aphrodisiac. If you don’t want Hongluan Pavilion to lose a living signboard, do as I say quickly.”
Xiao Huaixian’s voice held a hint of forbearance. Seeing the madam obediently doing as she was told, he breathed a sigh of relief, covered in sweat.
This time, he had been too careless.
He hadn’t expected that man to be even more sinister than him!
And he had used such potent aphrodisiacs on him, making it impossible for him to not have a man as an antidote…
However, don’t get cocky.
He would get revenge sooner or later!

The author has fallen into a big pit. I heard from others about standard fingerings and such, so I practiced out of curiosity, and now I can’t get back. I also always misspell words, ahhh!
(PS: When you guys chat, how many fingers do your left hand usually have on the keyboard? The author uses three fingers, and the standard is four.)
