1933 Master and servant(Chapter preview)

If other people were here, they would find their relationship rather strange, where the Procuress was actually afraid of her star courtesan.

"Madame, have all the arrangements made previously cancelled." Chun Yao said.

"Why? All those people with appointments made for later will….."

"Is Madame questioning my decision?" Chun Yao was seated before the zither, her gaze gentle as she looked at the Procuress, but the Procuress could not help feeling a chill run up her spine.

"Your subordinate wouldn't dare!" The Procuress immediately backed down.

"Then go make the necessary arrangements. Such a small task wouldn't be hard for someone like you." Chun Yao said with a smile.

"My Lady, can your subordinate ask why are you choosing to abandon so many people just for those four people here tonight? Is it really worth it?" The Procuress asked hesitantly.

Chun Yao did not get angry this time, but merely lowered her head and began to play the zither. It was only after she finished a piece that she opened her mouth to say in a soft voice. "Not four people, but just one."

"That little young master?"

"That's right." Chun Yao propped her chin in her left hand as she picked at the zither strings casually with her right. With a subdued smile, she then said: "His soul is very delicious, and it seems to have special powers. Just one person alone would be more superior than that entire lot of trash!"

"But it looks like that person's identity could be some high noble, are we going to snatch it from him?"

"Have you forgotten our rule? Only when a soul that is handed over voluntarily would be fresh and delicious. Even the slightest bit of harm inflicted on a soul wouldn't be good." Chun Yao murmured.

"Then why didn't my Lady try to make them stay a little longer?" The Procuress asked.

"If it's so easy for him to have a taste of it, would he still cherish it? Only what is hard to get will taste the best. Do you still need me to teach you how a man's mind works?"

"I understand."

"Now go make the arrangements. The next time you try to come question my decisions, you can just go seek punishment from the house on your own!"

"Yes, my Lady."

"Go ahead."

The Procuress left and there was a pleasant zither sound behind her. She looked up at the moon above her head and felt that the night was extremely cold.

Sima You Yue and the others came out of the Spring Brook Pavilion and went straight back to the inn where they were staying. Only when the people behind them had confirmed that they were staying there did they turn and leave.

Sima You Yue and Wu Lingyu stood in front of the window and looked outside the bustling street.

"Those people left, it seems that they just came to confirm where we stay." Wu Lingyu said.

"Don't worry about it," Sima You Yue said, "Isn't Black Shadow awake yet?"

"No, that useless guy, it seems that he needs to be called back to retrain." Huan said solemnly.

"Don't be mad, the sound of the zither was indeed abnormal. Even for me, there was a momentary loss of consciousness at the time. It should be a sound attack." Sima You Yue said.

"It's really a sound attack, and it's the kind that doesn't enter the stream." Wu Lingyu said, "The sound of the zither will confuse people's minds and make people admire her. Judging from the way she plays the zither, today's one was just average. I'm afraid there are other more powerful moves."

"Generally, it can confuse people's minds, and even more powerful, I am afraid that the person who listens would no longer be oneself." Wu Lingyu said.

"Sound attack is really troublesome." Huan agreed.

"Ah—" Sima You Yue yelled suddenly, startling the two of them. Before asking her what was wrong, she grasped Wu Lingyu's arm and shouted: "Did you see her? You still pretend! Don't blink! Did you look secretly? If you just want to look honestly, since I took you along, I won't mind you looking but, why did you secretly look?! I won't be jealous or anything. ."

Wu Lingyu's arm was held in an iron grip. Hearing what she said, he looked at her glaring expression and he was speechless.

Won't be jealous? Then what was this? Why was she twisting his arm for?

"I just glanced over when I noticed that the sound of the zither was different, and I looked at her fingers." He explained.

"Really?" Sima You Yue blinked her big eyes.

"Uh huh."

"Hey, if you really looked, I won't say anything."

Someone was smiling happily now, her face just now is not good.

She herself seemed to feel that she had made a mistake just now, she stretched out her hand to touch his arm, and smiled cautiously.

"Do you think this is enough?" Wu Lingyu raised an eyebrow.

"What do you want?"

"Of course it is... this way."

Before he finished his words, his lips arrived. Someone's head was held gently and could not be avoided.

"Someone e;se os still here!" Sima You Yue protested in a low voice.

"Where is there anyone?" Wu Lingyu let go of her, and she looked at where Huan was just now...there was no longer a shadow of a figure in place.

The moment she twisted Wu Lingyu's arm, Huan had already fled.

"Continue to compensate me..."

"Hmm, you..."

The moonlight became shy.

On the second day, Sima You Yue delivered the news of the strange incidents happening in the villages as well as the strangeness of Spring Brook Pavilion to Pi Ling.

Pi ​​Ling happened to be with Mo Yu when she got the news.

"A village outside the city? I really haven't sent anyone to pay attention to this." Pi Ling said reproachfully.

"Those people from the Soul Clan started from there, this is very unexpected in itself." Mo Yu said, "I just don't know what they are doing with them? How did they change them?"

"I'll send someone to investigate." Pi Ling said.

"Don't worry, everyone in your region knows you. Once you go, you'll startle them." Mo Yu said, "I think she should have already checked."

Pi ​​Ling continued to look down, and she saw Sima You Yue telling her to stand still, saying that she had gone to investigate. Later, she talked about Spring Brook Pavilion.

Mo Yu was on the side, hearing this, and exploded: "What did she say? She went to Spring Brook Pavilion? She is a woman who dared to go to Spring Brook Pavilion! Sure enough, she did everything! Wu Lingyu doesn't know how to stop her?!"

"Wu Lingyu went too." Pi Ling said, "she said, she found that Spring Brook Pavilion was also very abnormal, and asked us to keep a lookout on the people in the pavilion and those guests. I understand about staring at the people from the pavilion, but why even the guests?"

"She must have discovered something abnormal with those guests. Since they can make the villagers change, it is possible to make the guests change. Or, she thinks these people might do something. There's a huge stream of people coming in and out of Spring Brook Pavilion everyday, and they are not familiar with the people here, so they will let you do these things." Mo Yu guessed.

He really understood Sima You Yue, and he understood her meaning all at once.

"Alright, I'll make arrangements immediately." Pi Ling replied.

"Let me be careful."

"I know."

In the evening, Sima You Yue went to Spring Brook Pavilion again.

Chun Yao was already waiting. Seeing her, Sima You Yue immediately walked over, took her hand, looked at her lecherously and said, "Well, about the saying one day apart seems like three years, but why do I feel as if a hundred years have passed!"

Wu Lingyu was two steps behind her and when he saw her grabbing someone else's hand, he immediately stepped forward and pulled her hand away. Not forgetting to reprimand: "Behave properly, what's with all the tugging and pulling!!"

Sima You Yue curled her lips, "What's the matter with this! This is a brothel!"

Seeing Wu Lingyu coming over with his gaze as sharp as a blade, she shrank her neck and stopped talking.
