How could someone as well-behaved as Sister Yue possibly be a playboy?

Ye Yueyue turned around and saw the man in red slowly walking towards her.

The waiter bowed respectfully, his expression immediately tense, and he stood there somewhat at a loss: "Master."

"Step aside, I'll handle things here." He nodded slightly and said nothing.

The waiter breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and withdrew.

"It's alright, it's normal for business to be good."

Hearing this, the man in red was taken aback. After realizing what he meant, he smiled and said, "Thank you for your understanding, young lady. You can just give my name when you come to Zuiyue Tower in the future."

"Hmm... so how should I address you?"

"My name is Gu Qinghuai. And you, young lady?" He chuckled, his devilishly handsome face becoming even more alluring.

The girl blinked. "Yueyue."

Gu Qinghuai was stunned, his deep peach blossom eyes seeming to hold a hint of doubt, and he repeated to himself, "...Yueyue?"

His tone was uncertain, and the last syllable was drawn out, making it sound ambiguous and tender.

Ye Yueyue really enjoyed it.

She should say her name is Baby!

But now that she'd said it, there was no going back. Ye Yueyue nodded with a hint of regret, "Mhm."

The girl pursed her lips, seemingly troubled by something. Her face looked rather cute, and Gu Qinghuai was inexplicably touched.

He paused, then said, "Miss, could you please add a spirit tablet?"

Is it so direct?

Ye Yueyue raised her eyes, her gaze falling on his delicate collarbone. Against the backdrop of his red robe, his slightly exposed chest appeared even whiter, and the lines of his chest were faintly visible.

"Good."

Although we haven't spent much time together yet, this man is clearly restless. He exposes himself like this in broad daylight. What kind of good person could he be?

He's probably not the genius cultivator she's looking for.

Ye Yueyue wasn't interested in secondhand roots, but... there was no harm in taking a look, since she couldn't sleep anyway.

Xi Tuo looked at the still steaming chestnuts in his hand, a smile playing on his lips. He looked up and saw the signboard that read "Drunken Moon Pavilion." After confirming that it was the right place, he went inside.

He glanced around and spotted a familiar figure in red in a corner; the girl's jade-like profile was quite beautiful.

Before he could even feel happy, Xi Tuo's heart sank to the bottom.

A man in red stood beside the girl, a smile on his face, seemingly talking to her.

The two were dressed alike and looked very well-matched standing together.

But to Xi Tuo, this scene was quite jarring, and he felt as if something was blocking his chest, making it hard to breathe.

This was followed by a strong sense of crisis.

"Yue'er."

Xi Tuo walked forward with a calm expression and handed her the oil paper wrapped around the chestnuts.

Wow, I got it!

The girl's eyes lit up immediately, and she was overjoyed.

After taking a bite, she showed a satisfied expression, quickly popped one into her mouth, and then nodded indistinctly, "Mmm...delicious!"

Her mannerisms are very cute.

"If you like it, that's fine." His eyes softened a bit, and his gaze inadvertently fell on the man beside him, scrutinizing him.

"And who is this?" Xi Tuo asked casually.

"This is... the owner of Zuiyuelou."

The girl didn't even look up, and answered casually.

Men are nothing compared to good food.

Besides, she can't eat it now, so there's no need to say more.

Gu Qinghuai noticed the hostility in his eyes and his gaze shifting back and forth between the two of them, raising an eyebrow almost imperceptibly.

Oh, boss.

Xi Tuo couldn't quite describe his feelings, but the tension he had been holding in since the beginning eased, and seeing the girl intently eating the chestnuts he had bought filled him with a sense of satisfaction.

Just a passerby.

However, Xi Tuo was still a little unhappy.

Her gaze swept over the man's face, and she found it quite offensive.

His gaze drifted down to the extremely conspicuous red dress, which made him even more annoyed. He usually thought the color that Yue'er liked was very beautiful.

But, no matter how I look at it, I feel uncomfortable.

It was especially unpleasant when the two of them stood together; it made me feel suffocated.

Seeing the chest that was vaguely visible, Xi Tuo frowned.

It’s simply immoral!

These days, even teahouse owners need to attract customers.

"Moon, shall we go?"

He turned his head away and refused to look anymore, feeling a sense of resistance towards this place.

"Good."

Ye Yueyue nodded and took a step to leave.

"Won't you two sit down for a while? The most exciting part is yet to come. I apologize for my poor hospitality and hope I can have the honor of being your host." Gu Qinghuai chuckled, pointed to the storyteller standing above, and began to speak.

Although he said "two of you," his gaze was fixed on the girl.

His eyes were deep and bright, with a hook-like quality to them, and the moment you met his gaze, it seemed as if he could pull you in.

The rising intonation at the end of the note also had a hook.

Ye Yueyue swallowed hard, a restless thought stirring within her. Just as she was about to come up with an excuse, the sounds around her arose.

"It is said that a sound was heard at that time, and the demons discovered the cultivators hiding among them..." The storyteller paused, piquing the curiosity of the cultivators present.

"Hey, hurry up and tell me, what are you dawdling for!"

"Exactly, it's driving me crazy!" The cultivator next to him slammed his hand on the table, his face filled with intense curiosity.

The storyteller coughed lightly:

"Please be patient, esteemed guests, allow me to explain in detail..."

Ye Yueyue nodded, feigning curiosity. She glanced at the chair beneath her, then sat back down, holding the oil paper as she listened.

In fact, both his peripheral vision and his ears were focused on Gu Qinghuai.

It's not that she lacked willpower; it's all because others were too tempting, even a player like herself was attracted.

Indeed, the dazzling world is captivating...

Seeing this, Xi Tuo didn't say anything more. He didn't show it on his face, but he was very impatient with the man in red next to him.

A hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes as he thought to himself.

Zuiyue Tower? He made a mental note of it.

She observed the undercurrents between the men and found it quite amusing, though her attention seemed to be drawn to the storyteller.

Seeing the girl intently eating chestnuts while curiously watching the storyteller, Gu Qinghuai felt a strange joy in his heart.

He made a gesture, and the attendant beside him immediately came forward.

After whispering a few words in his ear, the man withdrew.

Before long, several plates of exquisite pastries were served.

Three people were sitting at the sandalwood table. Gu Qinghuai moved over and said with a smile, "This is the signature dish of Zuiyuelou, jujube cake."

"Oh, good!"

The girl looked over, reached out and picked up a piece. She hadn't had much hope, but the taste was just right.

The subtle sweetness is not overly sweet like other pastries, and the delicate texture spreads in your mouth.

"It tastes so good!"

The girl hurriedly spoke before she had even swallowed.

The unclear speech was quite adorable.

"Then I am relieved." Gu Qinghuai's eyes and brows were full of smiles, and his already beautiful face became even more alluring.

Xi Tuo frowned, a sense of crisis returning to him. He picked up the tea on the table and poured a cup for the girl.

"Slow down, don't choke."
