at bad luck, to encounter a ghost even in broad daylight! Next time, she wouldn't take the shortcut. Mom silently noted the location in her mind.Thus, the corner returned to its eerie stillness, as if...Chapter Nineteen

Visible but not touchable

Prince, you must be an angel! Your appearance as a supporting role is so timely! Oh~ Prince, I love you! You are so cute and kind! You saved the people from danger! You're such a great person! I absolutely have to give you a super invincible thumbs up!

"I wonder what the young lady plans to do next" came that magnetic voice once more.

Chen Zixuan looked up happily at him, wow, he's so handsome!

The man before him was tall and handsome, but more importantly, he exuded a noble elegance from head to toe. Words like "gentle as jade" were insufficient to describe him. At this moment, he looked at Chen Zixuan with a warm smile in his eyes.

Chen Zixin had no defense against this type of guy. Her eyes were sparkling, she was almost floating, her legs felt like jelly, and she couldn't even stand properly. She simply feigned weakness and collapsed into the man's arms, refusing to move.

"Girl, what's wrong"

Look, his eyes are full of worry, he's worried about me, yeah~ Hehe, hehe!

Chen Zixuan's smile even began to waver: "To be honest, sir, I haven't eaten in days, and all my money is gone."

"Why don't I take you to have a meal, it's just about dinner time, and we are right at the door of the Appreciation Wind Pavilion. What do you think"

"Oh my— how embarrassing, to trouble you like this." A certain woman blushed deeply and put on an extremely unseemly show of coyness.

"Where, where, it would be my honor to help the young lady." The young master helped Chen Zixuan steady himself.

"Master..." The young master's subordinate still wanted to advise, but the young master stopped him. Oh no, this woman is clinging onto the young master now, how annoying.

"My lady, please." Let me just see what is in your heart as you approach me.

"Sir, please." Oh my, if I could just get a photo with you, it wouldn't be in vain to have traveled through time, ah hahaha.

No, I have to protect the young master from harm.

With mixed feelings, the three walked into the Fengfeng Building. The shopkeeper immediately came out to greet them: "Young Master, I've kept your Minglan private room ready. Would you still like Xinyang Mao Jian tea"

"Well... let's change things up today. I brought some Pu-erh and Huai Ping tea. I'll brew some for you to try in a bit. As for the wine and food, we'll follow the usual customs."

"Yes, I'll do that right away."

In the tranquil tea room, only Chen Zixuan and this young master remained. This was exactly what Chen Zixuan desired. At this moment, she wished she could install a burglar-proof door at the entrance, preventing him from leaving.

"What does the young lady think of this room" The young master sat down by the ancient zither and began to play a slow, melodious tune.

“It’s fresh and elegant, with a faint scent of tea and bamboo. Master seems to have a good eye for decorating taverns. I imagine this one is quite famous in Kyoto under his management, wouldn't you say As a simple woman, I haven't been here long, so please forgive my boldness.” Chen Zixuan walked up to the window. This private room was built high, offering a view of bustling Kyoto. It turns out Kyoto is so beautiful, with such fresh air. With a handsome companion like this, everything seems perfect.

"My lady has keen eyesight, how did you see that I'm the master of this wine shop" The young man scrutinized the girl standing by the window. Although she was only seen from the side and her face was covered in patches of dirt, making it impossible to see her whole visage, those bright, lively eyes captivated him deeply.

"Sir, your attire is extraordinary, and to have your own private room in such a high-end restaurant, along with the shopkeeper's deep respect for you – a respect that goes beyond status, wealth, or position – tells me something. Furthermore, ordinary restaurants wouldn't allow outsiders into areas like the kitchen, yet your subordinates seem to come and go freely. Therefore, I believe you are the owner of this establishment."

Chen Zixuan turned his head and smiled flirtatiously at the young master who was playing the piano and looking at him. It seems you're still a patron, aren't you

He paused his fingers, missing a note. "Heh," he couldn't help but chuckle at himself. It seemed even he could be swayed by female beauty; and still, he couldn't see past her features.

Since you are so intelligent, how could you have offended the Sixth Prince I wonder if you know about his background.

"That's a long story, I can tell you all about it after dinner." Seems like you're not an easy person to get close to either. You're already starting to pry into my business, huh Sigh… too bad, handsome with thorns, looks good but can't touch. Just have to scratch my itch in my heart.

"May I ask for your name, miss"

"Me Would you believe me if I said I was Xia Yuhe from the shores of Lake Daming"

He just smiled faintly, continued playing the piano, and didn't answer.

"And what is your honorable name It's customary in the world to introduce oneself before attempting to court a lady," Chen Zixuan casually played with the fan on the table, his peripheral vision glued to that handsome man. Such a good-looking guy! Why was he so guarded Are all ancient people this way He wondered if they were any better than Rui Tianling at playing games of intrigue.

"Code of conduct Which school's rules are those I haven't heard of them…" Su Wenhao chuckled lightly.

"At your service, Su Wenhao." Su Wenhao smiled at the corner of his eyes and looked up at Chen Zixuan, "Don't you doubt it, miss"

Chen Zixuan was struck by her alluring gaze, but his words made her chuckle: "I doubt it matters what you call yourself. Whether your name is whatever, it doesn't really matter to me. If your name was Ah Mao, I'd call you Ah Mao. If it were Ah Gou, then I'd call you Ah Gou. To me, there's no difference. It's just a nickname."

"It seems like you're a spirited young lady. I wonder, would you be willing to share your name"

"My name is Chen Zixuan, you can call me Zixuan... I..."

"Creak—" The door to Minglan's elegant study was suddenly pushed open from the outside.ager," the dark guard knelt respectfully outside the mosquito net, completely unaffected by the seductive atmosphere within.“Alright, wait for me. I’ll finish what I'm doing and you can wait here firs...
