Chapter 168: Thanks and Cooperation
Inside the box.
The Hanqu Sword flew around Chongfan slowly, with an obvious joyful mood, like a child who had done a good deed and was seeking praise.
Chongfan smiled slightly and said, "Hanqu, thank you for your hard work."
The Hanqu Sword then hummed softly, and then the sword disappeared in a flash.
The maid from Lingbao Pavilion who was hiding in the corner finally breathed a sigh of relief and put away the talisman in her sleeve.
Seeing that Chongfan and the others were about to leave, the maid of Lingbao Pavilion immediately stepped forward and said respectfully, "Are you going to pick up the items? Please follow me!"
Chongfan nodded and was about to go out behind the maid, but he bumped into a woman wearing pearls and jade on her head and dressed elegantly.
The woman bowed to Chongfan and said, "My master invites you to come over for a chat. Please don't refuse."
As she said this, she bowed deeply to Chongfan again.
She was so polite that one could tell at first glance that she was a maid raised in a wealthy family.
Chongfan's heart was slightly moved.
She said to the maid of Lingbao Pavilion: "You go down first, we will exchange the auction items ourselves."
The maid of Lingbao Pavilion hesitated for a moment, but thinking that there were so many servants and maids in the entire Lingbao Pavilion, the other party would not have difficulty finding the place.
In order not to anger the distinguished guest, she nodded, bowed, and then retreated respectfully.
After watching the maids from Lingbao Pavilion completely leave, the strange maid respectfully gestured and said, "Please follow me."
Led by the maid, Chongfan and others walked into Box C.
At this time, in this box, apart from another maid who was dressed similarly to the maid who led the way, there was only one other woman who was dressed in a veil with her face covered by a thin gauze.
It turned out to be the person in charge of the Yanxia faction at the previous selection meeting.
The woman in the room saw Chongfan coming and immediately stood up from her seat. She walked forward with lotus steps and bowed to Chongfan, saying, "My name is Ouyang Changge, and I am the daughter of the head of the Yanxia Sect. I hope you will forgive me for my rash invitation."
Well-mannered and graceful.
Chongfan nodded secretly in his heart.
"No problem."
Under Ouyang Changge's guidance, Chongfan sat down across the table from Ouyang Changge.
Ouyang Changge personally made a pot of good tea for her, and his movements looked pleasing to the eye.
"This is the Yu Huarou that Changge brought personally. Senior, please try it."
Chongfan looked at the cherry color at the bottom of the teacup, and a floral fragrance wafted over, refreshing his heart.
It’s actually scented tea!
She picked up the teacup, closed her eyes and sniffed it gently. Suddenly she felt as if she had come to a sea of cherry flowers, and her heart was relaxed and comfortable.
If you taste it carefully, you will find it is extremely fragrant.
“Good tea!”
She couldn't help but praise.
Ouyang Changge smiled slightly, "As long as you like it, senior."
Chong Fan put down his teacup and said leisurely, "I wonder if Miss Ouyang invited me here to discuss something important?"
Ouyang Changge nodded slightly and said gently, "That's right."
She smiled slightly and said, "Changge should thank you, Senior."
"Oh? What do you mean by this?"
"I heard that Lu Ya lost an arm in the battle at Xiao Sui Peak and is still recovering from his injury. If not, I wouldn't be able to use this as an excuse to delay my marriage with him."
Ouyang Changge roughly described the relationship and situation of the three major sects here.
It is almost the same as what Bayan said.
However, what Bayan did not mention was what the young master of the Yanxia Sect thought of his marriage.
According to her, she originally disagreed.
The eldest son of the Jikui Sect not only likes to flirt with other women, but he also wants to flirt with her.
But under the coercion of the Jikui Sect, her mother finally agreed to the marriage for the sake of the entire Yanxia Sect.
For the sake of the overall situation, even though Ouyang Changge was extremely unwilling, she had no choice but to agree.
Originally, we had planned to get married after the fair.
Afterwards, she gave up the title of Young Master and made her sister the heir of the Yanxia Sect.
Who knew such a thing would happen.
The eldest son of the Jikui Sect lost an arm, so his marriage was postponed.
In other words, it was Chongfan and others who won her this breathing opportunity and free time.
Even though this time is only temporary, she is very grateful.
"I think Miss Ouyang invited me here not just to express her gratitude, right?"
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Changge nodded generously.
"Indeed. In addition to thanking you, I also want to... cooperate with you!"
Looking at the determination in Ouyang Changge's eyes, Chong Fan thought to himself, as expected.
Who would want to have a philandering man as their husband?
Not to mention that she would most likely be controlled by others after she gets married.
I'm not a masochist.
"Before, I had no choice but to do it for the sake of the overall situation, but now, the appearance of my predecessors has given me a ray of hope. I want to seize this opportunity. I want to control my own destiny!"
Chongfan saw the unwillingness in her eyes.
Compared with the official and lifeless appearance at the previous selection meeting, Ouyang Changge now has more vitality.
"Then how does Miss Ouyang want to cooperate?"
Chongfan took a sip of the flower tea and said lightly.
Ouyang Changge's face lit up with joy, and he waved his sleeves, and a scroll appeared on the desk.
Chongfan gently unfolded the scroll, and then his eyes fixed.
She put away the scroll and gave the girl a thumbs up in her heart.
Ouyang Changge continued:
"Just now, the servant reported that Sect Master Lu left Senior's Room No. 5 with a gloomy face. He must have suffered a loss at the hands of Senior. From what I know, this man will not give up. He may join forces with Dan Ding Pavilion to launch an ambush on the day Senior leaves the market. However, Dan Ding Pavilion is a fence-sitter who bullies the weak and fears the strong. They will not take real action at the beginning. In any case, please be careful."
Chongfan nodded to show that he understood.
Ouyang Changge then took out a jade slip from his sleeve, placed it in front of Chongfan, and said, "If you need Changge for anything, please feel free to contact me using this jade slip."
Chongfan accepted the jade slip.
The thoughts in my mind became clearer.
"Then Changge will use tea instead of wine, wishing the senior a successful start!"
As she spoke, she took off her veil, revealing a face as beautiful as the breeze and the bright moon, and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.
Chong Fan shook his head and said, "It should be wishing us a successful start. After all, we are cooperating, right?"
After they finished speaking, both sides looked at each other and smiled.
-
After taking the auction items, Chongfan led his men away from Lingbao Pavilion.
Coincidentally, I met the socially anxious young monk again on the way.
It's just that he seemed to have run into some trouble and was forced to buy and sell something by a scoundrel.
Everyone took a closer look.
Hey, isn’t this the horse-faced monk who likes to cheat?
What's his name? Ma Tao?
As soon as Chongfan saw the other person, his eyes suddenly changed.
With just one gesture, Chong Bing and Chong Xue immediately understood. They walked forward, pressed the spiritual point of the horse-faced monk, and forcibly dragged him into an alley.
Soon after, a muffled sound was heard in the alley.
"Bayan, aren't you going?"
Hearing his queen's questions, several question marks suddenly appeared in Bayan's head.
"If you don't go, you may not have another chance in the future."
Looking at the smile in the corner of his queen's eyes, Bayan suddenly understood.
While running quickly towards the alley, he shouted in a shrill voice: "Wait for me! Save a spot for me!"
Then there were bursts of flapping sounds of wings in the alley.
The socially phobic monk who was selling elixirs looked towards the alley, pursed his lips, and then thanked Chongfan repeatedly.
"Why are you alone again? Where is your master?"
Qin Lingshan couldn't help but ask.
The socially phobic monk lowered his head in embarrassment and whispered, "Master...he went out to sell something and will be back later."
No wonder he is the only one guarding the stall again.
No one cared.
After Chongfan and the others left, the young monk couldn't help but glance into the alley out of curiosity.
Then he shrank his head and pretended nothing happened.
