Clouds and Moon Shadow

"Have Mu Xi keep an eye on her secretly, make sure nothing happens to her," Mu Yun Chu said softly, rubbing her fingers together.

"Yes," Mu Nan thought to himself, thinking that his master was becoming less and less like himself.

Could it be that he has really fallen for that little girl, Gu Qingyue?

Should he remind Mu Xi later? Be more careful, and make sure nothing happens to Gu Qingyue.

Otherwise, their master would skin them alive.

In the evening, Liu Feng returned in a flurry of activity.

This time, he personally went to investigate.

When he casually placed the documents in front of Gu Qingyue, he felt that the real show was about to begin.

Gu Qingyue raised an eyebrow, picked up the documents and looked at them again and again, then glanced at Liu Feng in disbelief before looking at the documents once more.

She thought Liu Feng was joking.

"Really?" Gu Qingyue couldn't believe what she was seeing.

Leaving a big spectrum!

Liu Feng leaned back in his chair with an air of nonchalance, raised his hand and pursed his head, "At least seven or eight out of ten."

The lanterns are on.

Gu Qingyue wore a royal blue long robe, a jade-colored waist belt, and a matching jade crown. Her eyebrows were arched and her eyes were deep and mysterious. She gently waved a folding fan, exuding a dashing and romantic air.

Of course, he changed his appearance and became a boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old. Apart from being a little thinner and shorter, he was no different from a scholar.

Tonight, she wants to meet with that Master Qian. She doesn't intend to do anything; she just wants to find out about him and the Bamboo Ritual Hall.

Upon opening the door, he was confronted by Yue Ling, who had been waiting for him for a long time. Yue Ling was startled and realized she had been careless!

The master looks so dashing today, yet he's still wearing old clothes. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?

Seeing Gu Qingyue looking at her, Yue Ling subconsciously lowered her head.

"Let's go. You look great dressed today. It perfectly complements my refined and extraordinary appearance. Very good," Gu Qingyue said to herself as she walked forward.

Yue Ling felt as if she had been shot in the heart. Her lips twitched, and she could only follow with her head down and eyes lowered.

After getting off the carriage, Gu Qingyue looked at the tall gate and the lanterns wrapped in blue gauze. The three words "Zhuli Hall" on the lanterns swayed in the breeze. She had a premonition that she was about to have her eyes opened today.

Sure enough, a very handsome young man came out of the door the next moment.

Dressed in white brocade, with her long hair half-tied up, she had a refined and gentle appearance.

"Greetings, young master. Welcome to Zhuli Pavilion."

The moment the young man bowed his head and clasped his hands, he cast a very stunning glance at him.

Gu Qingyue knew that she herself was amazed by her appearance today.

Because she bears at least three or four resemblance to Mu Yun Chu.

Why does the disguise resemble Mu Yun Chu?

A: In Gu Qingyue's heart, he was outrageously handsome; how could someone who didn't look like him be considered handsome?!

Following the white-clad youth, Gu Qingyue made her way through the winding paths to the depths of the courtyard.

Unlike typical brothels, this place is divided into many smaller courtyards once you enter.

Each courtyard has a small gate, and the scenery outside each gate is different and exquisite.

You can hear low voices coming from inside, but you definitely won't hear any loud noises.

Gu Qingyue held back, not releasing her mental energy, afraid that if she saw something she shouldn't see, she would want to gouge her own eyes out on the spot.

"This way, young master—" The white-clad youth in front of her secretly sized up Gu Qingyue's face, his heart already filled with desire.

This is a top-quality item; at the very least, Mr. Qian needs to take a look first.

The two were led into an elegant courtyard and sat down at a tea table.

Gu Qingyue looked around. The hall was very large, with another floor upstairs, but downstairs there were only him and Yue Ling, and no other guests.

Gu Qingyue wasn't in a hurry; she simply nodded and waited for the young man to speak.

"Please wait a moment, I'll find someone else to entertain the young master," he said, bowing slightly before leaving.

If no one had told Gu Qingyue that this was a Nanfeng Pavilion, she really wouldn't have been able to tell the difference between it and the mansion of a wealthy family.

The young man in white had just left when a servant came in carrying a tray.

Gu Qingyue looked down and saw that fruits, snacks, and tea were all available.

"Please wait a moment, sir. May I ask which young gentleman you would like to accompany you tonight? If this is your first time here, would you like me to bring over a few young men for you to choose from?"

'Cough cough cough------' Gu Qingyue coughed loudly upon hearing this.

She's not ready yet!

After calming down, he said, "Find me the most popular young man around here."

Gu Qingyue leaned back in her chair, starting to project an air of authority, acting like a rich young master.

Yue Ling, standing behind him, really wanted to run away; he felt a chill down his spine.

"Please wait a moment, young master," the servant said respectfully as he withdrew.

For a moment, the hall fell silent.

"Come sit down," Gu Qingyue's voice boomed in Yue Ling's ears.

Yue Ling felt like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and she shuddered.

"Please sit, Master. I will stand."

Gu Qingyue raised an eyebrow. "What kind of posture are you taking? How are you going to choose a young man later?"

Yue Ling had an expression that said, "I knew it."

He felt like vomiting blood. "Master, you can choose whatever you like. I don't need anything."

"Come sit down, how can I eat alone?" Gu Qingyue said jokingly.

"Master-----------" Yue Ling was about to say a few words when she heard the rustling of clothes coming from outside the door. The footsteps were a bit chaotic, indicating that more than one person had come.

"Young Master," a clear and pleasant voice called out.

Then, four or five men dressed in various colors walked in with their heads slightly bowed, and a fragrant breeze filled the air.

Gu Qingyue couldn't help but sneeze.

'Achoo!' Gu Qingyue cursed inwardly, this smells so good!

Why would a man put something so fragrant on her? She's having an allergic reaction!

Once her nose had adjusted, she raised her eyes and began to examine the person in front of her.

All five men were tall and slender, some thin and frail, others handsome and dashing; each had their own unique charm, like the legendary beauties of ancient China.

But the only thing they have in common is that they are all extremely good-looking!

Delicate features, handsome features, effeminate features, and sunny features... wait, he looks a bit older than his age!

Gu Qingyue carefully examined the man, who appeared to be in his thirties.

With a pair of captivating eyes, a tall and slender figure, and a handsome face that was gentle yet subtly sharp, he was scrutinizing her with an air of mystery, making Gu Qingyue's hair stand on end.

However, in the next instant, Gu Qingyue had a guess in her mind.

"Then, young man, please stay!"

As she spoke, she pointed to the man with peach blossom eyes.

"Xiao Ling, you pick one too," Gu Qingyue turned slightly and said to Yue Ling.

Yue Ling felt utterly hopeless. He knew it; his master had a penchant for toying with people!

However, he also knew that his master must have his own thoughts and plans for doing this, and he just needed to cooperate.

“Yes,” Yue Ling said, then casually pointed to the handsome young man.

After he finished speaking, the others voluntarily withdrew.

Watching Yue Ling being led away by that handsome man, Gu Qingyue raised her hand and said, "Sit."

The man with peach blossom eyes raised an eyebrow and sat down elegantly.

As soon as he sat down, he picked up an empty teacup, poured a cup of tea for Gu Qingyue, and pushed it next to her.

"What's your surname, sir?"

The man with peach blossom eyes spoke, his voice as deep and pleasant as a cello, causing Gu Qingyue's body to tremble involuntarily.

Gu Qingyue cursed inwardly again, thinking how spineless she was! This Mr. Qian was a bit too aggressive!

That's right, Gu Qingyue guessed that this was the Mr. Qian.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have kept him; she wanted to see what the man in front of her was up to.

Recalling the information Liu Feng had investigated, and looking at the man in front of her, Gu Qingyue still found it hard to believe that this was actually a tragic male protagonist!
