West Street was very lively. The maid Taohua led Ruan Shuhui, who was wearing a white cone hat, to a pastry shop called Lotus Pastry Shop.

This might be the location written on the note given by the man in black last night.

Ruan Shuhui's maid knew her very well, so early the next morning she found a few good servants to inquire about the place in West Street with the word "lotus" in its name.

These servants were quite capable. Two hours after they left, they told her what they had learned: there were only two places on West Street where lotus flowers grew.

One is the West Street Lotus Lane, and the other is the West Street Lotus Pastry Shop.

West Street Lotus Lane is too general. The woman in black couldn't have made the appointment here. The only possible place is the West Street Lotus Pastry Shop.

The maid Taohua immediately found the guards who were at the scene that night, asked them to change into daily clothes and go to the Lotus Pastry Shop on West Street to stand guard. Then all they had to do was wait for Ruan Shuhui.

Sure enough, Ruan Shuhui eventually went to find the woman in black, and they finally arrived at the Lotus Pastry Shop.

Three common types of cakes were placed outside the Lotus Cake Shop, but only a few pieces were left. Not many people would come out to buy cakes in the afternoon. The owner of the Lotus Cake Shop was packing up to close the shop. When he saw them standing in front of his shop, he asked, "Miss, you are here to buy cakes. Our lotus lotus seed cake is the best-selling one. Would you like to buy some to try?"

Ruan Shuhui came in a hurry. It was exactly noon and there was still half an hour before the evening. Her mind was always on the man in black, Wan Fei. She wished she could see Wan Fei standing here and give her a wonderful trick as soon as she arrived.

The maid waved her hand, politely declined the offer from the owner of the pastry shop, and stepped forward to give him some silver and said, "Boss, we are borrowing your Feng Shui treasured land to wait for someone, you don't have to worry about us."

The owner of the pastry shop had a look of surprise on his face. His shop was located in a very remote area and most people would not come here. They would only come here when the lotus flowers were in bloom to buy some pastries and take them home to try for fun.

The boss happily accepted it, thinking it would be a waste if he had the money. Then he didn't ask any more questions, packed up his things and went home.

When half an hour had passed, Ruan Shuhui looked around but didn't see anyone: "Taohua, did you see it?"

The maid shook her head and stretched her neck to look around, more anxiously than Ruan Shuhui. She had only found the place she guessed based on the note. What if the man in black wrote the location at the back and made an appointment at other shops in Lotus Lane on West Street, then they would have waited in vain.

Ruan Shuhui paced back and forth. Her legs and feet were sore from standing for so long and her face was full of impatience. But when she thought of the looks of Shen Jiayu and Song Qinghong, she still endured and continued to wait.

The end of the You hour has passed, but no one has come.

Ruan Shuhui, who had completely lost her patience, turned her head and gave the maid a glare, "Where is the person? Are you sure you saw him clearly last night?"

The maid died unjustly. She only said that she saw a few words. When she talked to Ruan Shuhui, she was not sure that it was here, but she could not refute it. "Miss, I am guilty. Please punish me."

If she didn't wait for someone to come, she would be punished. Instead of waiting for Ruan Shuhui to speak, it would be faster and less painful for her to accept the punishment directly.

"I'll deal with you when I get back!" Ruan Shuhui said in a low voice, pulling her cone hat down lower, fearing that she would be seen outside at this hour, which would be bad for her reputation.

Wan Fei arrived on time. She saw them standing outside the shop waiting from a distance. One of them was wearing a white cone hat and was covered tightly, while the other was dressed like a maid from a wealthy family. It was hard not to see them on the most remote street in Ningyuan City.

She was not in a hurry. She jumped onto the roof and sat there quietly, watching Ruan Shuhui like an ant on the hot pan, jumping back and forth but unable to move.

She heard about what happened at the Fulai Inn. Those people were useless, not a single one of them could fight. Yet Shen Jiayu still returned to the courtyard alive and well. She immediately knew that this Lotus Shop was coming.

Seeing that they were about to leave, they suddenly appeared from the rooftop on the night of Shangsi Festival, and stood firmly beside Ruan Shuhui after landing, mocking and sneer, "Miss Ruan, are you leaving now? I heard that many people died quietly in Fulai Inn, except those two. Is it because there are not enough elite soldiers? Or there are no so-called elite soldiers at all."

Ruan Shuhui, hiding under the white cone hat, blushed. She understood the other party's sarcasm. If it were any other time, she would have lost her temper long ago.

"Miss, you are joking. Those were all my jokes. I was so angry at that time that I still have to work with you. I just don't know what you are planning. The bitch living in Fulai Inn has already left the city, and Shen Yu should still be in the city. Don't you know her whereabouts? How much silver do you want? Just name your price."

"I said, I can help you, but Shen Jiayu will die in my hands in the end, I don't need anything else." Wan Fei was too lazy to say more to her, there was really no need.

"Okay, tell me." When Ruan Shuhui saw that Wan Fei's attitude towards her became better, she started to put on the airs of the city lord's daughter again, and her tone of voice was full of arrogance.

Wan Fei didn't want to argue with her, so she walked up to her, got closer to her ear, and told her everything she could. She was still a little worried about her, so she repeated it to her maid Taohua.

The maid took note of it and did not dare to forget even a single word, because her young lady could not remember such a long passage, let alone the names of the streets and alleys in it.

Wan Fei said, standing further away, "I'll be waiting in three days."

Ruan Shuhui raised her eyebrows slightly and said confidently, "Okay, this time I will make her suffer a fate worse than death. After I catch her, I will send someone to tie a piece of red cloth here. When you see the red cloth being taken down later, someone will naturally bring you to me."

She pointed to a small tree on the street, withdrew her hand, and returned home with the maid.

Wan Fei looked at their leaving figures and smiled coldly with a hint of coldness in her eyes. She raised her hand and placed it on her left shoulder. The wound there still hurt slightly. Every time she trained, her left hand would tremble uncontrollably. How could she not hate it!

Back in the courtyard, Li Xiner sat at the table and ate pastries. After they were able to move freely, she went out to try all the pastries she had never eaten before, and bought some every day.

In Wan Fei's eyes, he was no different from a pig that only knew how to eat, drink and sleep.

Li Xiner was used to seeing Wan Fei looking at her with disdain when she came back. Ever since the last time Wan Fei went crazy and failed to target Shen Jiayu, and instead took her out on her, she had become much colder towards Wan Fei.

"No training today?" It was rare to see her go into the house to rest so early, so Li Xiner asked curiously.

"I still have to go to put some things down." Wan Fei responded coldly, turning her back to her and putting the things she bought from outside in her own cabinet.

The cabinet was filled with various weapons that had been sharpened and needed to drink blood. The flickering candlelight shone on them with a cold glow. After putting them away, Wan Fei locked the cabinet door and went to the training ground as usual.
