The number one spendthrift woman in the capital actually brings glory to her entire family?

The next day at noon, Manager Xu of Hongding Bank sent someone to deliver a message to Manager Lin Fei of Hilton, arranging to meet Sikong Jin at the pavilion by the moat outside the imperial city in the evening.

Besides this efficiency, what surprised Sikong Jin was that after a busy day, as the sun was about to set, Sikong Jin hurriedly packed up and headed straight for the gates of the imperial city.

Changfeng had been waiting in the pavilion for quite some time.

As before, he wore a dark blue robe, tall and upright, deep and experienced. His handsome face with its distinct features still had a hint of indifference. His dark eyebrows were like swords, and his eyes, sharp as a hawk's, were quite piercing. He also held a long sword in his hand.

As soon as Sikong Jin walked down the steps in front of the pavilion, Changfeng, who was standing in the wind, already knew. He moved his body slightly, and the warm sunset shone down, reddening Sikong Jin's delicate face.

"It's been a long time, Lord Sikong!"

Upon seeing Sikong Jin's figure, Changfeng's sharp gaze softened slightly. He sheathed his longsword, leaned against a nearby pillar, and sat down by the railing.

Sikong Jin, with one hand behind his back and carrying a bottle of premium liquor he'd acquired from Hilton in the other, strode confidently into the pavilion. He set down the liquor jar, turned around, and with a squinty gaze, scrutinized Changfeng from head to toe several times before smiling and saying, "Long time no see, Brother Changfeng! It's only been a short time, but you've become even more handsome. Are you in love? You look so radiant!"

As he spoke, he took a bowl from the wine jar, poured two bowls of wine, and handed one of them to Changfeng.

"You're not bad either. I heard you even married the beautiful and talented Ninth Princess of your Great Yong Dynasty. I should congratulate you!"

Changfeng accepted the wine without ceremony and laughed heartily.

"Then you'd better hurry up and prepare the red envelopes. Remember to make them big so you can announce the number yourself at the wedding, lest you lose face." Sikong Jin raised her glass to him, speaking shamelessly.

"You're still the same as always, never missing a chance to take advantage of me. But since we hit it off so well, I won't skimp on your gift. Are you satisfied with that answer?"

Changfeng also found it strange. After being tricked by Sikong Jin, he should have been disgusted with Sikong Jin from the bottom of his heart. But surprisingly, he was not disgusted at all. Moreover, when he met Sikong Jin, he felt like he had known him for a long time. It was like a rare meeting between old friends.

Everyone knows that Changfeng is a cold and aloof person who doesn't usually get close to others. Changfeng himself found this situation unbelievable. After thinking it over, he figured it was probably because of Sikong Jin's personality. Such a person makes it easy for others to put their minds at ease and befriend him.

Sikong Jin raised her eyebrows, smiled, and then poured wine for Changfeng. "I was just joking. With our friendship, talking about money is too vulgar. Brother Changfeng, please forgive me. I am just a vulgar person. However, I think your generosity will only make me look good."

"Alright, stop with the nonsense. Manager Xu said you were in a hurry to see me. What's wrong? You don't want me to fulfill that promise, do you?"

Changfeng smiled helplessly and took a sip of wine.

Sikong Jin shrugged, tilted his head back, and downed a full bowl of wine in a few gulps. A hint of admiration flashed in his eyes. "Brother Changfeng is wise! I didn't expect you to value this promise so much, rushing to the capital in less than a day. This truly makes me..."

"Alright, stop flattering yourself. I just happen to be here. If you had come any later, Manager Xu, I might have left. What is it? Tell me, and I will do my best to get it done."

Sikong Jin nodded, her delicate face softening slightly. She looked at Changfeng with clear and firm eyes and said seriously, "I hope you can help me with something."

After taking another sip of wine, Sikong Jin frowned and said, "I hope you can take in my younger brother, Sikong Mo, and let him join your Fengyun Tower. I will feel at ease with that."

Upon hearing Sikong Jin's words, Changfeng was stunned and stared at Sikong Jin in surprise.

“I know this condition is not difficult for you. Fengyun Tower has a rich history and has cultivated many top-notch medical and martial arts experts. Xiao Mo has a high talent in medicine. If we let him enter Fengyun Tower, he will definitely achieve great things in both martial arts and medicine in the future.”

"However, as far as I know, isn't Zhonglin Academy in your Dayong also very good? Its teaching staff is no less than that of Fengyunlou. Moreover, you know that Fengyunlou is a force established in the martial arts world, and it may not be able to provide your brother with a stable environment."

Changfeng thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice.

"Only by experiencing real storms and facing countless life-or-death trials can a fledgling bird confined in a cage truly grow up and become independent. He is my only close relative besides my mother, and I have a responsibility to raise him into a strong and upright man..."

Sikong Jin sighed deeply as she spoke, then suddenly turned to look at the setting sun opposite her. "That way, even if... even if I'm gone in the future, he can still take care of himself and his mother."

Hearing these words, Changfeng's heart sank, and his expression became somewhat solemn.

He didn't understand much about the power struggles within the imperial court, but in carrying out the tasks assigned to him by the Lord of the Tower these past few days, he had gained some understanding of the current situation in the Great Yong Dynasty. Therefore, he had some reservations about Sikong Jin's entrustment to him.

After a moment of silence, Changfeng finally nodded solemnly. "Alright, I agree to this. I will personally supervise him, so you can rest assured. But you must bring him out immediately. I will leave the capital of Dayong tomorrow night and return to Luoyang. Time is of the essence, and you are well aware of the current situation in the capital of Dayong."

Upon hearing this, Sikong Jin finally smiled. She gratefully raised her glass and said with a smile, "I knew I hadn't misjudged you. Thank you. This glass is for you!"

With that, he drank it all in one gulp.

“I’ll arrange for him to come out tomorrow night. The Sikong Mansion has many spies, so the process might be a bit troublesome. How about this, let’s set the location at the Hilton. After sunset tomorrow night, wait for me in the private room at the Hilton’s Sunset Glow.”

"Okay, if you don't see him by tomorrow night, don't blame me. I don't have time to waste."

"Okay, it's a deal. I'm heading back now!"

Sikong Jin stood up, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and then turned and hurriedly left.

……

Back at Crescent Moon Lodge, Su Yue and Sikong Mo were waiting for Sikong Jin to have dinner together.

Sikong Jin gave Su Yue and Sikong Mo across from her a deep look, thought for a moment, and then suddenly said to Sikong Mo, "Xiao Mo, serve Mother a few dishes. She's been busy making new clothes for you and your older brother these past few days, and she's exhausted."
