Chapter Ninety-Six: The Hidden Male Companion
nonsense! Don't you see where we are!"Xiao Yunqin reluctantly shut her mouth, but her eyes still held a resentment. It was unclear how much of that resentment was genuine. "So what do we do now Are we...If Qin Luoyan said that, and Li Long immediately went, then Qin Luoyan would be truly disappointed. Now, hearing him first consider his own safety, she also had a few points of admiration in her heart, "It's alright, you just go and receive the reward, I have a way to escape."
Li Long hesitated for a moment, seeing Qin Luo Yan's insistence, he could only nod in agreement.
Li Long went to the South Palace's house according to Qin Luo's instructions after taking down the notice. The South Palace's mansion was located in the bustling area of Fengqi City. Only the richest person could afford to build such a luxurious mansion in the most prosperous area.
...And usually, the main gate of a large household is only accessible to the master. So Li Long came to the back door and knocked. Someone came quickly from inside. Upon seeing the notice in Li Long's hand, they curled their lip, took it, and went back inside. "Just wait," they said, "I'll go report this to the master."
The newcomer took the notice and headed toward the Seventh Young Master's courtyard. Just as he reached the courtyard, a flying knife shot out from inside. Luckily, the newcomer dodged in time; had he been just a step slower, his life would have been forfeit.
"Seventh brother, the notice has already been posted. With a heavy reward, there will surely be brave men who come forward. News should arrive soon. At that time, you can vent your anger at the person once you find him. Why are you sulking in the courtyard now" Nan Gong Yan and Nan Gong Ting were playing chess in the pavilion in the courtyard. Seeing Nan Gong Qi throw his fifteenth throwing knife, they both shook their heads helplessly.
“Third Brother, Big Brother, you only know how to talk cold words! Your reputations aren't as tarnished as mine! Tell me, is that kid insane What normal person could come up with such a charge against me in such a short time Am I a pederast When I emerged from the Flower House District, he was still playing in the mud! He dares to say I'm a pederast Only a real man would dare to say that. If it were a woman, I’d pin her down and let her know just how much of a man I am!”
Nan Gong Qi was furious, waving the flying knife in his hand and preparing to throw it out. The servant who entered the room quickly ducked for cover, shouting, "Third Young Master, someone has come to collect the reward! They're at the back door."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Qi put away the flying knife in his hand and turned to shout at the two people in the pavilion: "Third Brother, Big Brother, it seems like we have something fun to do today. What kind of chess are you two playing Come on, let's go fix that kid!"
In the pavilion, the two people shook their heads helplessly, had to collect the chess pieces and stood up.
This Nangong Qi is the youngest son of Master Nangong. He was cherished by Master Nangong like a pearl in his palm. Compared to the other sons who had already married, this younger one worried Master Nangong greatly. Because of his excessive doting, he always wanted to give him the best of everything. Now, his reputation has been tarnished by someone out of nowhere. How could Master Nangong swallow this This time, he specifically instructed the eldest and third sons to find that person and vent their anger.
When Nangong Ting and Nangong Yan first started participating in the Nangong family business, they were eager to impress their grandfather. That's why the two spent a lot of money to get through the official channels and posted notices. Unexpectedly, they received news this morning.
Three people, accompanied by two guards, arrived at the back door. Upon seeing the honest-looking man waiting there, Nangong Qi let out a shout and rushed over. "Was it you who said you saw the person in the painting You better be telling the truth! If you give us false information, not only will you receive no reward, but you'll have to worry about your head!"
Li Long, hearing this, became even more uneasy. Seeing the menacing looks on the few people, he knew they were going to cause trouble for Qin Luo Yan. He then thought about Qin Luo Yan's instructions when she sent him here and reached out his hand: "I really saw him, as long as you give me the money, I'll take you there right away."
"My illustrious NanGong family wouldn't even miss this amount of silver!" NanGong Qi sneered, casually pulling out a silver note and tossing it over. "Hurry up and lead us there!"
Li Long picked up the silver note and tucked it into his waist, then led several people to the slave market.
The slave market was a chaotic mess, with peddlers selling slaves lining the streets. The moment the NanGong family's fine clothes and furnishings were spotted by these peddlers, they swarmed them like gold-hungry sharks. With so many trying to push their way forward, and only two guards accompanying NanGong Qi and his companions, their fine garments became somewhat dishevelled as they trudged down the street.
"Are you sure this is the right place I can't believe that person would be here!" Nanguangqi smoothed down her disheveled clothes, venting her anger on Li Long.
“We’re almost there.” Li Long concealed the sneer in his eyes. Seeing these people in such disarray, he felt quite satisfied. He had intentionally led them through this street, the busiest and dirtiest one, “Yes, after this turn is that courtyard.” Li Long deliberately bellowed loudly.
Qin Luoyan had been waiting at the mouth of the alley. Hearing Li Long's voice, she immediately walked to the courtyard door and knocked, three short and two long sounds. Sure enough, this attracted someone inside the door.
A young, pretty attendant opened the door and, seeing Qin Luo Yan standing there, asked suspiciously, "Who are you looking for"
"I was introduced by Master Wu," Qin Luoyan said. Although she had never eaten pork, she had seen pigs run. This place was so discreetly hidden, it definitely wouldn't entertain outsiders, it must have been someone they knew who introduced me.
That little servant pondered for a moment, Wu Gongzi had indeed come here, so she believed her words and let her in.
This scene just happened to fall into the eyes of Nan Gong Qi and several others.
"Gongzi Wu arrived before me. Where is he Take me to find him. We agreed to play together, but he just went ahead and started playing without me." Qin Luoyan complained, but her eyes casually scanned the surroundings.
This courtyard is filled with pretty little maidservants, not even a single maidservant in sight. Occasionally, you can see a few men dressed in flamboyant attire. Those men have their collars half-open, and every move they make exudes charm. When those men see Qin Luoyan, they smile and greet her politely, being both courteous and approachable.
Qin Luoyan also admired the person who opened this place immensely. Being able to train out such a group of handsome men with both temperament and appearance, it was no wonder that Master Wu spent his days lingering here.
The maidservant led Qin Luoyan to an independent courtyard and was about to knock on the door, but Qin Luoyan raised her hand to stop her, “Let me go myself, I want to give him a surprise.”
The little servant nodded. In fact, when guests were in the courtyard, they were not allowed to disturb them unless there was something special. If a guest pursued it, they would also be punished, so when Qin Luoyan said this, he immediately agreed.
Qin Luo Yan wasn't in a hurry, slowly walking towards the door, but her ears were always paying attention to the sounds behind her. How could she have gone in so early She had to wait for the Nan Gong family people to arrive before knocking and going in.
