167: Entrusted by others

Following the madam, Wei Xun went upstairs to the third floor of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion and stopped at the door of an elegant room.

"Young Master, this is Miss Yan'er's room!" The madam stood at the door with a smile. "I'll have the maids bring you dishes in a moment, and then Miss Yan'er can play a few tunes for you alone!"

"Then many thanks!" Wei Xun nodded politely to the madam.

"Young Master, this is your first time at the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, isn't it?" The madam suddenly asked again.

"What's wrong?" Wei Xun asked, puzzled.

"It's just that before you enter the room, I must remind you!" The madam suddenly became serious. "Our Miss Yan'er is different from other courtesans; she only sells her art, not her body. Once you go in, please don't be reckless!"

"I know that!" Wei Xun nodded. After all, she was Wang Tianchi’s beloved, so no matter how beautiful she was, he couldn't make a move.

"And also!" The madam continued to emphasize, "Our City Lord's son has a special fondness for Miss Yan'er, so it's best to be polite to her!"

"Alright!" Wei Xun felt that the madam seemed unwilling to leave, so he directly took out a gold ingot from his ring and slipped it into the madam's hand.

Seeing the gold ingot in her hand, the madam immediately beamed with joy, no longer saying a word, and immediately made way.

Wei Xun then pushed the door open and entered Miss Yan'er's room.

After Wei Xun went in, the madam thoughtfully closed the door from the outside.

Upon entering the room, Wei Xun immediately smelled a faint fragrance. He looked around and saw incense burning in the center of the room, with wisps of white smoke rising.

Miss Yan'er was sitting at a table on the side of the room, with an ancient guqin placed in front of her.

"Young Master, please sit down quickly!" Miss Yan'er extended her slender hand and pointed to a chair nearby.

Wei Xun nodded and sat down.

"I wonder what kind of music Young Master would like to hear!" Miss Yan'er's voice was as gentle as water, like the voice of a gentle older sister Wei Xun used to hear on the radio when he was a child.

"Anything is fine!" Wei Xun nodded.

"Then this humble one shall play 'Ode to the Moon' for Young Master!" Miss Yan'er finished speaking and began to pluck the strings with her slender fingers.

The sound of the guqin was melodious, clear, and pleasing to the ear.

Although Wei Xun had almost never heard such guqin music, he found himself drawn to it today.

The last time he heard a guqin was when Wei Xun was in the Myriad Treasure Pagoda. When he reached the seventh floor, there was a man playing the guqin as if he had suffered from Qi Deviation.

Although the man's guqin playing was also very pleasant, Wei Xun had no mind to linger there, as the time he could stay in the pagoda was limited.

As Miss Yan'er finished playing a piece, the maids serving the dishes followed in.

Once a table full of food was served, the maids all withdrew.

Only Wei Xun and Yan'er were left in the room.

"I wonder what else Young Master would like to hear!" Miss Yan'er's hands rested on the guqin strings, smiling gently.

"No, thank you!" Wei Xun shook his head. "I'm hungry, I'll eat first!"

Wei Xun finished speaking, picked up his chopsticks, and put a piece of spare rib into his mouth.

Seeing Wei Xun devouring his food, Miss Yan'er couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, "Young Master, you look very hungry!"

"Yes!" Wei Xun nodded. "I haven't eaten for two hours, and my stomach is empty!"

After Wei Xun Breakthrough to the Pure Yang Realm, his appetite also increased. He needed to eat several times more than before every day.

"Young Master can eat while listening to this humble one play the guqin!" Miss Yan'er continued to say from the side.

"Aren't you eating?" Wei Xun turned his head and looked at Miss Yan'er in confusion.

"I'm not hungry yet!" Miss Yan'er nodded slightly.

"Actually, I didn't come to see you today to listen to you play the guqin!" Wei Xun mumbled as he ate.

"Oh?" Hearing Wei Xun's words, Miss Yan'er couldn't help but ask curiously, "Then why did Young Master come to see me today?"

"I was entrusted by someone!" After Wei Xun swallowed half-chewed beef, he flipped his palm and took out the letter Wang Tianchi had written to Yan'er.

"This is...?"

Miss Yan'er frowned slightly as she looked at the envelope.

"This is a letter that silly fellow Wang Tianchi wrote to you!" Wei Xun said, placing the letter on the table and continuing to eat.

What Wei Xun didn't expect was that the food made in this Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, a brothel, was even better than that of the restaurants outside.

Upon hearing Wang Tianchi's name, Miss Yan'er immediately stood up from beside the guqin, then came to the table and opened the envelope.

After Miss Yan'er finished reading the content of the letter, her expression was slightly dazed.

"How is it?" Wei Xun grabbed a piece of pig's trotter and stuffed it into his mouth. "Do you have a reply you want to give him? I can take it to him!"

"Who are you to Young Master Wang?" Miss Yan'er suddenly asked curiously.

"Someone trustworthy!" Wei Xun swallowed the trotter, feeling a bit choked, and then drank several mouthfuls of tea.

"That's right!" Yan'er smiled slightly after hearing this. "Otherwise, Young Master Wang wouldn't have asked you to deliver the letter!"

"Young Master Wang is truly infatuated with you!" Wei Xun chuckled. "For you, he doesn't even care about his own father!"

"Young Master, you exaggerate!" Miss Yan'er said slowly, holding the letter. "When Young Master Wang was here, he was still very respectful of his father!"

"Is that so?" Wei Xun scratched his head, feeling a bit puzzled. "Do you consider calling your father an 'old thing' respectful here?"

"..." Miss Yan'er paused, then said, "I do have some things I'd like to say to Young Master Wang. I'll write them down, and I ask Young Master to please help me deliver them!"

"No problem!" Wei Xun tore off a roasted chicken leg, nodding his head twice.

Then Miss Yan'er retreated to a table on the side, picked up paper and brush, and began to write.

A moment later, Miss Yan'er walked to the table with the letter she had written.

"I've finished the letter, thank you, Young Master!" Miss Yan'er nodded slightly in gratitude.

"It's nothing!" Wei Xun took the letter and put it into his ring, then pointed to the food on the table and said, "How about it? Would you like a bite or two?"

Miss Yan'er looked at Wei Xun's ravenous eating, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, "Young Master, you are truly interesting. A talented scholar who can compose such timeless poems also has such a lively side!"

"Hey!" Wei Xun shook his head. "Don't call me lively; this Young Master is dashing!"

"And also!" Miss Yan'er suddenly sighed. "I confessed something to Young Master Wang in the letter. I'm afraid he might not believe it when he only sees the content of the letter, so I'm going to let Young Master see it first!"

"Oh?" Wei Xun suddenly became interested upon hearing this. "What is it?"

"I hope Young Master won't spread it after you see it!" Miss Yan'er said, pinching the corner of her clothes with her small hand, looking a bit hesitant, as if she was hiding a big secret.

"You're not a man, are you!" Wei Xun's face showed alarm.
