“You’re right that you don’t know that place. It’s a business building opened by the Lin family. It specializes in entertaining noble ladies. The things they sell are expensive rouge and powder and fresh clothes.”

Ning Shu took out an invitation and handed it to him.

“Zhanmei Pavilion…”

He took the pink note.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of what Chao Ji said about the Jinyi Gang that Ye Teng regarded as novice monsters, and he remembered it!

The first plot of Ye Zuixu after he obtained the golden finger and became a practitioner is related to these two aspects. If nothing unexpected happens, this is his chance to be proud of himself.

“I wanted to take you to her house to apologize, but she invited me to Zhanmei Pavilion to look at some new material. I don’t know whether I should let you go to that girl’s place…”

Ning Shu said softly, but she didn’t force him to meet Princess Kang under such circumstances.

“Oh?”

Wei Buqi opened the post and glanced at the words on it. The gist of it was that they had found a wonderful new material and made a batch of fine clothes, and invited the lady from Li’an Mansion to come and try them.

“What do you think?”

Seeing that he didn’t speak for a long time, she asked again.

“I contradicted the princess that day. Now I have a chance to plead guilty. Of course I have to go.”

The corners of his lips curled up in a meaningful arc.

Zhanmei Pavilion is the Lin family’s territory, and Ling Lengrui led him there, undoubtedly to discuss the alliance.

There is a problem here. His actions tomorrow might collide with the “Jinyi Gang Incident” in the original novel on the timeline. The situation at that time might deviate from the trajectory he knows. Fortunately, he has now anticipated the possible dangers.

“You don’t have any bad ideas, do you?”

Ning Shu couldn’t help but frown when she saw his brilliant smile. The women in Zhanmei Pavilion were all family members of high-ranking officials in Li’an Prefecture, so they were not allowed to mess around.

“How could it be~”

After watching his sister-in-law leave, Wei Buqi turned around and asked Shuangshu to prepare hot water for bathing, and he summoned Yang Shaocheng alone.

The plot of the game intertwined with his plan, which was inevitable for him as a time traveler. His every move could change the direction of the world line. He could not predict how the original plot would develop tomorrow, but he could use the known information to make a good layout.

He had an idea in his mind that the situation caused by Ye Zhizhu’s contact with Jinyi Gang might help him. He was confident that he could make them surrender in the matter of alliance, and the current situation gave him more confidence. If the cooperation was successful, he could directly use Ziwei Sect to deal with Xu Yuanwang.

“You go do something now…”

The second update will still be at 7am~

Chapter 33 See you again

“I will be able to break through the first level soon…”

The red sun was rising, and the first ray of morning light awakened the Lin Mansion. In a simple courtyard, an ordinary man who was meditating under a banyan tree suddenly opened his eyes with light in his eyes. This man was Ye Teng, the son-in-law of the Lin family.

His ordinary face no longer had the decadence and dejection of the past, but was radiant and gave people a feeling of being in high spirits.

If he were given a chance to say goodbye to his former self, he would say “I should have emerged from nowhere”.

“You’re still far from it.”

An old voice sounded in his ears.

“Mr. Wang.”

Ye Teng’s face was filled with joy. Ever since he woke up from a drunken dream with the Second Young Master Wei in the Taining Earl’s Mansion, the residual soul of a great master with supernatural powers had taken residence in his body, and he thus embarked on the path of cultivation.

When he was young, he listened to his mother reading many storybooks. Such adventures were only experienced by the protagonists in the books, but he did not believe in luck. He wanted to rely on his own efforts to reach the top.

In order to protect his stunning goddess wife and avenge his mother, he will do whatever it takes.

“Have I ever told you to be humble and not impatient?”

An old man with a white beard, floating in the air like a feather, appeared in front of him. The old man had a stern look and his eyes contained the worry of a teacher.

“I will remember your teachings, sir, and will never become arrogant and presumptuous just because of my small achievements.”

Ye Teng said respectfully with his head lowered.

“You have suffered through years of hardship and have seen so much contempt. I only hope that this experience can help you develop an unshakable heart for the Tao, rather than turning things around overnight and becoming arrogant and domineering like a villain who has achieved success.”

The powerful man surnamed Wang said sternly, making the young man in front of him feel terrified.

“I remember!”

Only then did Mr. Wang’s expression ease.

“You provoked the Jinyi Gang three days ago, trying to take their ‘Breakthrough Pill’ and break through the first level. You didn’t do it well enough, but since you made a bet with them, just settle it today. You can now defeat that gang’s useless young leader.”

Ye Teng nodded and said “yes”, looking ashamed.

The Jinyi Gang is a gang in the east of Li’an Prefecture, making a living by selling cloth. The gang leader is just a small figure who broke through the second level.

He beat up their people a few days ago, and then used the identity of Lin family’s son-in-law to bully others to protect himself. When he learned that those guys had a pill that could break through the barrier, he used the priceless pendant left to him by his mother as an inducement and made a bet.

“As long as I break through the first level, the ‘Ascension Meeting’ in a month will be my chance to turn things around and soar to the sky…”

Ye Teng made up his mind secretly. After hearing that Liangyi Dao, one of the four immortal sects, was recruiting disciples in Li’an Prefecture, he immediately made a plan. Only by becoming a disciple of the holy land could he achieve a higher status.

“Ok?”

After washing up, he walked out of the courtyard and prepared to leave the Lin Mansion. On the way, he suddenly saw a graceful figure in a red skirt leading a group of people towards the middle gate.

“Where is she going?”

Ye Teng looked at the stunning woman with admiration, but did not dare to step forward to greet her. He found a servant he was on good terms with, wanting to know where she had been.

“Don’t you know? Zhanmei Pavilion has a grand event today, and the eldest lady must be there to take charge.”

He looked dazed, and for some reason, he suddenly thought of the young master of the Wei family.

“Brother Wei deserves half the credit for my meeting Mr. Wang. It is my blessing to meet him…”

Ye Teng didn’t know that the Wei Buqi he was grateful to had already arrived at the place he had just heard about and was about to meet his wife Lin Zhuoyue.

“I’ll catch up with her!”

……

A magnificent attic located to the east of Li’an Mansion was bustling with people early in the morning, with the sound of birds chirping and the sound of birds chirping. It seemed that the air here also carried the fragrance of girls’ cosmetics.

At this time, two carriages stopped in the backyard of the pavilion, and a group of beautiful young girls immediately came out of the building to greet them.

Soon, a handsome young man in gorgeous clothes got out of the car, with a yawning pink girl hanging on his body.

“Isn’t it enough that you slept all the way in the car?”

Wei Buqi looked at his little niece in his arms with a smile on his face.

“Where are we?”

Wei Xiangwu looked at him with sleepy eyes, her delicate face filled with the questions “Who am I” and “Where am I?”

“interesting place.”

He pinched the little girl’s fair and rosy face.

“Really?”

“Why would I lie to you?” Wei Buqi said with a smile, “Don’t you like that Aunt Ling? You’ll be able to see her soon.”

Seeing that the girl looked like she was still sleepy, he lowered his voice unconsciously, lowered his head and rubbed his forehead against her fair cheek.

“Uncle and I are better.” Xiao Xiangwu smacked his face, and he smiled even more, “Good~”

“Put her down.”

A clear and gentle voice was heard, and he turned around to see a beautiful lady getting off another carriage supported by a maid. She had her hair combed in a bun, her face was rosy, her almond eyes were full of charm, and her slender body was dressed in a sky blue long dress with wide sleeves, the same color as the sky today. Her graceful figure swayed with every step, and she was very charming.

“Your mother has spoken.”

Wei Buqi put the girl in his arms down with a smile. She shook off her sleepiness under the majesty of her mother and held them with her two fleshy hands.

“Has Princess Kang arrived yet?”

Ning Shu asked the young maid who was standing in front of her with her head lowered.

“Your Highness is waiting for Madam Wei upstairs.”

She nodded when she heard that, turned to look at her brother-in-law beside her, a hint of severity flashing in her beautiful eyes.

“You know what to do, right?”

Wei Buqi smiled without saying anything. She said no more and led him and Xiangwu into the Zhanmei Pavilion with its steep carved walls.

There is obviously discrimination in the reception of guests here. People come and go at the front door, but there are not many waiters to take care of all the guests. People even have to queue up to enter the pavilion.

In contrast, the eldest lady of the Wei Mansion was welcomed to the quiet backyard as soon as she arrived. A group of beautiful girls came forward to wait for her orders and invited them into the pavilion. Such hospitality made people feel like they were in spring breeze.

“right here.”

The pretty girl took them up to the attic, to the empty top floor, and they stopped outside a room.

Ning Shu and Wei Buqi looked at each other and were about to knock on the door.

At this moment the door was suddenly opened from the inside.

“Sister Ning is here~”

A soft and tender voice came along with the fragrant wind, and a beautiful lady with a graceful figure appeared behind the door.

Her long black hair, as black as clouds and ink, was tied up in a charming high bun. Her oval face was graceful, and the most charming thing was her pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes, which were lingering and intoxicating.

The gorgeous woman was wearing a poetic lake green palace dress. Her plump and beautiful figure was like a blooming peony. Even though she was wearing a long gown, the high collar still declared that there was nowhere to hide. She was of low stature, but this did not seem to shake her elegant and noble temperament. Wei Buqi looked at her and found the familiar charm between her eyebrows and eyes, and could not help but smile.

“Ling’er…”

Chapter 34 So, she stretched out her foot to him

“Sister Ling.”

Ning Shu met Ling Lengrui’s eyes as she walked out of the room. She smiled slightly, walked forward and held her hand affectionately.

“You’ve kept me waiting for a long time.”

There was a soft and charming curve on Her Royal Highness the Princess’s fair jade face, and her words were full of intimacy, as if she did not blame herself at all for the humiliation she suffered in Wei’s mansion that day.
