Chapter 1096: Chapter 320: Feng Zhaoyang Arc (3)
Yuchi pondered over this matter, sometimes frowning and sometimes gaining sudden insight. This appearance fell into the eyes of the Courtesan, who was rapidly thinking in her mind.
"He must be considering my affairs now, wanting to help his friend investigate me. And with such serious contemplation, he surely wants to gain some clues from me; otherwise, he wouldn’t show such a thoughtful expression."
"Moreover, since he is a friend of Feng Zhaoyang, his cultivation must be at least at the Spirit Storage Stage. Being a Sect Leader and a cultivator, should I also build a good relationship with this man, have him support me?"
"It’s not necessary with Feng Zhaoyang now. Instead, it’s such a man that’s worth my effort to win over; if he supports me, there might be unexpected surprises."
Thinking of this, the Courtesan looked apologetically at Yuchi, presenting herself as "this humble girl is wrong, let the gentleman punish freely," and further said to Yuchi, "It turns out you are a friend of Brother Feng. Hello, I am Li Ruolan, you may call me Lanlan."
The courtesan’s name had evidently appeared; she was called Li Ruolan, not a stage name. The stage name was "Changxiangsi," while the real name was Li Ruolan, and her nickname Lanlan.
Yuchi nodded, "Hello."
Then he thought, "Ah, my toe is so itchy. Since becoming a Cultivator, I often don’t bathe, and now the big toe is itching. I want to scratch it, but considering the current situation, I’ll hold back and wait till this matter is settled, then I’ll buy a file to rid the dead skin well."
"Moreover, Yin Shuang, this child, is now eagerly listening, seems quite gossipy. This child is interesting; initially, under my guidance, I thought she’d become increasingly innocent, but she’s clearly heading towards a peculiar path."
"Could be I, Yuchi, have some poison here? Hmm... not really, I feel I’m quite prudent, my speech nicely tuned, a person quite straightforward and transparent. Perhaps, having Yin Shuang recite a couple more poems when possible; at least, let this child have some bookworm thoughts in the head, otherwise, it’d be empty."
He... he’s serious in expression. The Courtesan watched Yuchi’s thoughtful manner, felt awkwardly seated, unsure how Yuchi viewed her, whether thinking positively or negatively, started feeling slightly apprehensive.
"There should be no problem, right? He’s likely considering my situation now. Just now his stare at me was intensely deep, so he wants to see if he can gain anything from me, or judging my relationship with his friend?"
"Is he a good or bad person, here to help or sabotage me? Certainly not directly stopping his friend from helping me? If he’s exactly as I thought, then it’s time for me to pay attention now!"
"Even losing Feng Zhaoyang’s support right now, I still need a way to directly gain help from this man. Yet, I know only that he is Sect Leader, with no other clues, so how should I proceed to tread carefully without arousing aversion from Feng Zhaoyang side?"
Feng Zhaoyang at this moment was admiring the Courtesan’s beauty.
The more he looked, the more he liked it. Although not surpassing his own wife, his wife no longer accompanies him, making the Courtesan quite favorable now. Her appearance is very beautiful, voice extremely pleasant, definitely very suitable as a wife in every aspect.
"Really nice!" Feng Zhaoyang was satisfied.
Next, he noticed Yuchi’s serious thinking expression, immediately stunned, recalling past conversations with Yuchi.
"Yes, we talked about this Courtesan before, so now he must be very concerned about everything regarding her, but he deeply cares about me as his friend too. Hence, it’s difficult for him to speak directly too much with Courtesan in front of me!"
"So I must actively ask more questions now. Even if it’s not completely clear whether the Courtesan intends harm or simply elevates her status, I must inquire more. Fellow Daoist Zong’s mind is lively; as long as I ask more, there should be no problem!"
"What kind of questions should I ask then?"
Feng Zhaoyang thus seriously considered, eventually coming up with it, smiling towards the Courtesan, asking, "Lanlan, haven’t you always wanted to become a Palace Courtesan?"
"Now Sect Leader Zong is here too, you should express your thoughts."
"He is quite an impressive person. If you can have his assistance, with both his and my focus, you can certainly progress towards becoming a Palace Courtesan, maybe truly achieving it."
