339: Chapter 339 Trouble?

"Dear guest, all your expenses in the shop so far will be covered by Huaqing Pavilion."

After saying this,

Li Zhiting turned and went upstairs, returning to her room.

Lin Ming was quite satisfied with this compensation; it was equivalent to getting all his consumption so far for free.

Even though he didn't have to pay a single cent anyway.

But the main thing was that it showed him Huaqing Pavilion's attitude.

"Shopkeeper Li, seeing you in person is truly better than hearing about you a hundred times."

Someone exclaimed.

It wasn't until Li Zhiting disappeared from his sight that the man withdrew his gaze, looking as if he still wanted more.

Especially those beautiful legs, which were already imprinted in his mind.

He remembered that the last time he saw her was at the Top Courtesan Selection five years ago.

"Indeed, she is worthy of being the number one beauty of our Dongchao City."

There are countless beauties in Dongchao City, and Huaqing Pavilion has ten top courtesans holding the fort.

But there is only one number one beauty, and that is the head shopkeeper of Huaqing Pavilion, Li Zhiting. This is an indisputable fact.

And Li Zhiting's position has remained unshakable for who knows how many years.

"I wonder who will be able to get intimate with her."

"If it were me, I'd be willing to die the very next day."

"Keep dreaming. You have no idea how many people are pursuing her—the Sanjue Association, Tiegu Gang, Yaoyue Pavilion, Wei Family, Wang Family, Liu Family, Sea Clan, Canghai Sword Pavilion—they've all had people pursue her, but she hasn't taken a fancy to a single one."

"Do you think you can?"

"Can't I just think about it?"

The man's Face flushed red instantly, and he said with a slightly annoyed tone.

"Cuihong is still waiting for me, I'm not talking to you anymore."

The big man turned and went back into his room, closing the door.

The crowd of onlookers also went off to find their own fun as Li Zhiting left.

As for Lin Ming, he was regarded by many as a poor wretch who would likely disappear from this world soon.

"Alright, Shi Niang, right? Don't disturb me."

Lin Ming turned and returned to his room, saying this as he passed by Shi Niang.

Shi Niang still had an ugly expression on her Face and didn't reply.

"Xiaoshan, clear this table of food away."

Lin Ming said.

"Yes."

Xiaoshan immediately called a few people to clear away all the food on the table.

"Alright, Miss Lan Qin, you may continue."

Lin Ming lay directly on the bed and said to Lan Qin.

"Is this Young Master not worried?"

Lan Qin asked instead.

"Worried about what?"

Lin Ming looked lazy.

"Young Master Liu; today you made him lose Face, he will definitely come to trouble you."

Lan Qin said.

Lan Qin knew a little about this Young Master Liu, after all, he often requested her.

And Young Master Liu had expressed many times that he wanted to take things further with her, but she had refused every time.

Because of her status as a top courtesan, Young Master Liu dared not mess with her.

"Trouble? Then let it come."

Lin Ming said indifferently.

Troublesome?

Lin Ming actually hoped he would come to trouble him; as for who would be troubling whom then, that was not certain.

Lin Ming slowly closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Lan Qin didn't say anything else and placed her jade hands on the strings.

The sound of the zither gradually rose.

Night fell.

The sky grew dark.

Lin Ming woke up from his dream and got out of bed to stretch.

It was also at this moment that the zither music stopped.

"Miss Lan Qin is quite dedicated, playing from when I went to sleep until now."

Lin Ming said.

The music only stopped when he woke up.

"It is just my duty."

Lan Qin said.

"Alright, now it is time to get to the main point."

Lin Ming said.

He had listened to the zither and had his sleep.

Now it was time to get to the main point.

"Young Master, what do you want to do?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Qin became nervous instantly.

She was also guarding against Lin Ming doing anything out of line.

Although she rarely encountered such guests, occasionally one or two would pop up.

"Don't worry, I don't have any intentions towards you."

Lin Ming shook his head.

From beginning to end, he had no intentions towards Lan Qin.

But Lin Ming understood why Lan Qin had such defenses.

No intentions?

Lan Qin did not believe Lin Ming's words.

Although Lin Ming said so and looked indifferent.

She had seen no shortage of hypocrites who appeared decent on the surface.

It could only be said that during her time at Huaqing Pavilion, she had seen all kinds of people and would not believe him just because of what he said.

"What is your purpose?"

Lan Qin said in a deep voice.

After all, she was a cultivator in the Spirit Treasury Realm.

She couldn't see through Lin Ming's cultivation, but if this person had any improper behavior, she would have time to notify the people of Huaqing Pavilion.

"I was entrusted by someone to come find Miss Lan Qin."

Lin Ming said.

Miss Lan Qin was his target for this task.

"If those men sent you to curry favor for them, there is no need."

Lan Qin said coldly.

Could it be that Su Chi is a simp?

Lin Ming was stunned for a moment.

The task he accepted was released by a Sword Cultivator from Hidden Sword Peak.

To deliver a letter to his childhood sweetheart.

Lin Ming accepted this task as it was on his way.

But now Lin Ming couldn't help but suspect that this Senior Brother Su Chi might actually be a simp.

"Does Miss Lan Qin know Su Chi?"

Lin Ming asked.

"Brother Chi!"

A voice full of joy rang out.

Lan Qin walked straight out of the room, came before Lin Ming, looking slightly excited.

"You are from Yuanxu Mountain."

Lan Qin took off her veil, revealing her beautiful Face, and asked Lin Ming.

Not a simp.

Seeing Lan Qin's appearance, Lin Ming knew that the Sword Cultivator was not a simp.

"This is the letter Su Chi asked me to give you."

Lin Ming took out a letter and handed it to Lan Qin.

The letter was imbued with a strand of Sword Intent; if opened rashly, it would be destroyed by the Sword Intent.

Of course, in front of Lin Ming, this method was still a bit immature.

Lin Ming wouldn't casually peek at others' letters; he wasn't that kind of person.

Lan Qin hurriedly took the letter and sensed the Sword Intent on the envelope.

That's right, it is Brother Chi.

Suppressing her excitement, Lan Qin took out a jade pendant.

The jade pendant was placed on the envelope, and the Sword Intent dispersed.

Opening the envelope, Lan Qin carefully read the contents of the letter.

Finally, she could hardly suppress her excitement.

Several tears and a smile appeared at the same time.

It was evident that the content on the envelope was good news for her.

Even Lin Ming might have guessed the content.

A moment later, Lan Qin finished reading the contents of the envelope.

Her emotions gradually calmed down.

"Thank you."

Lan Qin looked at Lin Ming and thanked him.

"Right, there is also this, something Su Chi left for you."

Lin Ming took out a Storage Ring and handed it to Lan Qin.

With this, his task was considered complete.
