After hastily fleeing the side room, Ye Wusheng's first thought was to return to his own room. He took a sip of tea to calm his nerves, and just as he set the cup down, he saw his concubine looking at him with a puzzled expression.
"Master, why is half of your hair missing?"
He immediately looked in the direction his concubine was pointing, and the next moment, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Fortunately, he hadn't acted impulsively just now, otherwise his head really would have been separated from his body.
"Master, are you alright?"
The concubine picked up her embroidered handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from Ye Wusheng's forehead.
"Should I notify the Venerable Master?"
"No!"
Ye Wusheng immediately refused, "I am also a cultivator at the peak of the Yushen Realm, but in front of that person, I am like an ant. That person is very likely a Fengwang expert, or even stronger.
Take this painting down and be sure to find information about the person in the painting in the shortest time possible. Also, have someone clean up the side room where Luoyue is.
Whatever that adult requests, try your best to satisfy them. Even if it means giving away the Four Fairies would be no problem."
When the concubine heard the words "Fengwang expert," her face showed a trace of shock, and she quickly nodded, saying:
"This servant will go and handle it right away."
After the concubine left, Ye Wusheng's legs went soft, and he collapsed to the ground.
Following the concubine's issuance of Ye Wusheng's orders, the various elements of Buye City began to move quickly.
For these small fry, a little silver could make them do many things, not to mention just gathering a bit of information.
Meanwhile, Chen Xuan and the others changed to two other side rooms, after all, blood had just been shed here.
The two entered different side rooms to rest, with Chen Xuan naturally being alone.
The three women of Fairy Luoyue carefully served Chao Youqian.
However, as Chao Youqian began to show the three women his racing skills, soon the side room was filled with bursts of joyful laughter.
This half of the night, everyone in Buye City was very busy.
The sun rose in the east.
A new day had arrived.
After getting up, Chen Xuan was soon served by a maidservant to wash up and tidy himself up.
Afterward, he followed the maidservant to the main hall, where a table by the window was already filled with wine and dishes.
After a while, yawning Chao Youqian and bloodshot-eyed Lu Zineng walked over one after the other.
"Good morning, Brother Chen."
"Good morning, young masters."
"Morning!"
Seeing the state of the two, Chen Xuan couldn't help but ask, "You two didn't stay up all night, did you?"
"Xianshi is indeed sharp, you saw through it at a glance!"
Lu Zineng said with a laugh.
"You boy, did your dream come true last night?"
Chao Youqian was preparing to discuss racing techniques with Lu Zineng.
"Of course!"
Lu Zineng said excitedly, "Fairy Feihua is simply too beautiful, I couldn't get enough of watching her all night."
"Huh?"
Chen Xuan's mind was filled with question marks: "You're not telling me you just watched all night and didn't do anything, are you?"
"Naturally not, I held her little hand and skirt, and Fairy Feihua even said a few words to me." Lu Zineng said with righteous conviction.
Chen Xuan patted his forehead: "What did she say?"
Lu Zineng said with a grin: "Sir, stop holding my hand, it's all wet from you. Sir, don't just touch the skirt, it's about to come undone. Sir, stop looking, have some wine to drink."
Chen Xuan glanced at Chao Youqian, and they said in unison:
"You boy deserves to rely on your hands for the rest of your life!"
Lu Zineng was stunned: "What did I do wrong?"
Chen Xuan and Chao Youqian couldn't be bothered to bother with this boy anymore; in this day and age, there were still such honest people.
Time passed second by second.
By noon, Ye Wusheng hurriedly came before Chen Xuan and the others.
"Adult, I've found information about the man in the painting."
"Oh, tell me about it."
Chen Xuan said indifferently.
"This subordinate found out that Mr. Leng entered the residence of Vice Minister Zhuo more than twenty days ago, and hasn't come out since, but the servants of the Zhuo family don't know where he went."
After speaking, Ye Wusheng secretly glanced at Chen Xuan, fearing that this adult would not be satisfied.
"The Vice Minister Zhuo you mentioned, what is his relationship with Zhuo Bufan?" Chen Xuan asked.
Hearing the three words "Zhuo Bufan," Ye Wusheng was so scared that he knelt directly on the ground, his face full of panic as he said:
"Adult, this subordinate dares not rashly discuss the Grand Preceptor, but the two of them have a father-son relationship. Vice Minister Zhuo established his own residence more than ten years ago."
"Alright, I was just asking casually, you don't need to be nervous."
As Chen Xuan spoke, he gave Chao Youqian a look beside him, then left the main hall. Since he knew information about Junior Brother Leng, of course he needed to find the person early.
Chao Youqian casually threw a storage pouch in front of Ye Wusheng, "This is your reward inside."
Ye Wusheng took the storage pouch, opened it, and almost fainted, muttering to himself:
"He gave far too much."
"Xianshi Chen, where shall we go now?"
Lu Zineng asked as he drove the carriage.
