Chapter 334: 201 Totem_3

Fang Zhixing spoke indifferently, "In three days, I will come again. If you agree, tie a red silk ribbon on the windowsill. If you do not agree, I will not bother you again."

After saying this, he turned and left, vanishing into the dark woods in an instant.

"Scoundrel, not even escorting me back home!"

Yan Hongtao pouted and then took a few steps forward, curtseying as she said, "Master, you have arrived."

Under the cold moonlight, a long-haired woman slowly emerged.

The long-haired woman turned her head toward the direction Fang Zhixing had departed to and asked in surprise, "What’s going on? Why didn’t the poison fragrance you emit make that man succumb?"

Yan Hongtao was silent for a moment before replying, "Disciple’s body fragrance only works wonders on those weak-willed lechers. That man was hardly swayed by beauty in front of me."

...

...

The night passed quickly.

The next morning, flutter, flutter—

A carrier pigeon flew into the Yixiang House.

"Arrive at the Fengxi Dock, one hundred eighty-five li south of the city, at the third quarter of the afternoon. Receive a young person in white and escort them into the city, arranging their stay at Yixiang House. This person carries the Luo Family’s token."

Fang Zhixing raised his eyebrows slightly; this was the simplest mission he had ever received to this date.

"Is it just to pick up someone?"

Fang Zhixing called for Hongye and ordered her to arrange for the Mandarin Duck Assassins to go.

By evening time, the Mandarin Duck Assassins had returned, bringing with them a young person in white.

Fang Zhixing took a close look and was immediately baffled.

At first glance, he thought the youth in white was a man, but upon another look, he felt the person was a woman!

No helping it!

Some people are so ugly that it’s impossible to tell if they’re human or beast, while others are so beautiful their gender is ambiguous.

Fang Zhixing stood up, clasped his hands with a smile, and said, "I am Fang Maofu, the host here. May I ask for your honored surname and given name?"

The youth in white gave a slight smile and responded continuously, "My name is Shi Miaojun, just a wanderer of Jianghu. Greetings to Master Fang."

Fang Zhixing listened to the voice. It seemed to be that of a woman’s but with a rough magnetic edge, and looking at the Adam’s apple, it was faintly discernible. He was still unable to determine the gender of the person.

"I am a man."

Shi Miaojun slowly opened the paper fan, graceful as a jade, with a mischievously charming smile, he stated seriously, "A pure man."

Fang Zhixing laughed heartily and said, "Brother Miaojun really knows how to jest."

He invited Shi Miaojun to sit down for tea, and then probed, "By your accent, you seem to be from Qinghe County as well, right?"

Shi Miaojun gave an ambiguous answer, "I am at home across the four seas, wandering unsettled."

Fang Zhixing nodded and asked, "What brings Brother Miaojun to the County? If you need any help, please feel free to instruct me."

"Hehe, just here for a stroll, I wouldn’t dare to impose on Master Fang."

Shi Miaojun answered, not giving anything away.

Seeing that he couldn’t get any information out of him, Fang Zhixing didn’t linger, and immediately instructed Hongye to arrange a place for him to stay.

That evening.

Fang Zhixing went to the Wu Family mansion for a banquet as usual.

This time, he took the initiative to seek out Wu Hongqiu and inquired, "A distinguished guest has arrived at my house, claiming to be Shi Miaojun. Have you heard of him?"

Wu Hongqiu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Oh? Have you already met her in person? Is she beautiful?"

Fang Zhixing was stunned for a moment and hesitated, "She, is a woman?"

"Haha!"

Wu Hongqiu covered her mouth to laugh, laughing so hard she was bending forward and backward, "Of course she’s a woman, why would you think she’s a man?"

Fang Zhixing’s mouth twitched, he said wordlessly, "She looks androgynous, I obviously couldn’t just strip her pants off to check."

"You dare!"

Wu Hongqiu’s face became stern, she said seriously, "That Shi Miaojun is no ordinary person, you mustn’t harbor any inappropriate thoughts about her, understand?"

Fang Zhixing said in astonishment, "Who exactly is she?"

Wu Hongqiu whispered, "When the Prefectural Governor was young, he once incurred a debt of passion, and Shi Miaojun is the child he had with a courtesan."

Fang Zhixing suddenly realized, it turned out Shi Miaojun was the illegitimate daughter of the Prefectural Governor.

Wu Hongqiu explained in detail, "About half a month ago, the Prefectural Governor received a letter, it was from that courtesan, telling the Governor that he has a daughter.

After the Governor confirmed that she truly was his flesh and blood, he naturally couldn’t abandon her, but considering her special status, he probably wouldn’t bring her into his household for the time being. That’s why she was left in your care."

Fang Zhixing quickly understood and felt that Shi Miaojun was mostly like a hot potato he had to handle with care.

Seeing this, Wu Hongqiu teased, "Seeing such a beauty like Shi Miaojun, does it make you a bit thirsty? Don’t worry, tonight I’ll arrange a beauty for you."

Fang Zhixing replied wordlessly, "Everyone wears a mask at the event, how would I know if the other person is beautiful?"

"Oh, that’s true."

Wu Hongqiu couldn’t help but laugh, "As the old saying goes, it’s all the same when the lights are out. Not knowing who you actually slept with is also a kind of pain, isn’t it?"

Fang Zhixing just sighed.

Wu Hongqiu covered her mouth and laughed, "Don’t worry, the women I introduce to you are all carefully selected, not one of them is ugly, you definitely won’t be at a loss."

Fang Zhixing listened and just laughed it off.

The next morning, he returned to Yixiang House and inquired, "Hongye, how is Shi Miaojun doing?"

Hongye answered, "Hmm, all normal. Apart from eating and sleeping, she only mentioned that she likes to play the qin, so I gave her an old qin."

Fang Zhixing urged, "Buy a good qin for her."

Hongye surprisedly asked, "Do you know who she is?"

Fang Zhixing whispered into her ear, and Hongye caught her breath, her eyes widening.

In the afternoon, the qin was bought.

It was a Green Qin, all black in color, faintly emanating a greenish glow, as if green vines were wrapped around an ancient tree.

Fang Zhixing personally held the Green Qin, presenting it to Shi Miaojun.

"Beautiful qin!"

Shi Miaojun’s eyes lit up with extra fondness, thrilled, she sincerely said, "Thank you Master Fang, how about I play a piece for you?"

Fang Zhixing replied eagerly, "It would be my honor."

Shi Miaojun sat down, and as her fingertips danced, melodious sounds of the qin flowed like a clear spring.

Fang Zhixing listened quietly, becoming gradually mesmerized.

When the piece finished, he suddenly remembered Su Niang, she too was skilled at playing the qin.

Moreover, when they parted, Su Niang had given him a sheet of music titled "Heartbreak."

Thinking of this, Fang Zhixing brought out the music sheet and offered it to Shi Miaojun.

"Good music!"

Shi Miaojun just briefly flipped through it and was immediately deeply impressed by the music score.

She exclaimed, "The person who wrote this music is definitely a great talent."

Fang Zhixing found it amusing in his heart; sadly, that great talent had turned into a demon and died without a complete corpse.
