Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Meeting a Few Times by Chance

Chu Nanli left, and Zhuang Lin went to the third floor with the Tongmai Pill.

"You’re really lucky today, Miss Chu has made the Tongmai Pills, and this is yours."

He placed the medicine bottle on the table.

The mysterious man nodded and said, "Thank you," then slipped the medicine bottle into his sleeve.

Seeing this, Zhuang Lin expressed his amazement, "Aren’t you going to look?" At least try one to see the effect.

"No need, I trust her, and I trust you."

Zhuang Lin raised an eyebrow.

Putting "her" first, huh?

It looked like his place in the heart of this god of wealth was not secured.

"You seem overly concerned about Miss Chu." Zhuang Lin probed.

The man replied indifferently, "We’ve met a few times."

An affair?

Zhuang Lin almost blurted out, but he caught himself just in time and coughed twice to cover his embarrassment, quickly changing the subject.

"Miss Chu was asking me about the Spring Banquet. She has a friend who opened a brothel, the Bright Moon Building that has recently become quite famous in the capital. She probably wants to use the Spring Banquet to really make a name for herself, hence she wants the girls from Bright Moon Building to perform at the banquet."

A friend?

The man behind the mask raised an eyebrow.

Although he had not arranged for someone to watch the girl constantly, he knew she had no friends in the capital.

It seemed that this "friend" who opened the brothel was her own self.

Thinking this, the man’s interest grew.

A young lady who not only opened a brothel but also made it famous with its unique style in a very short time had extraordinary intelligence and courage.

Across the table, Zhuang Lin simply sat down, unable to gauge the man’s thoughts since he was silent.

After some thought, he cleared his throat and continued, "I figure that, with your influence reaching the heavens, you’re one of the few in the entire capital who could arrange a new act for the Spring Banquet at this late stage. And so, I promised Miss Chu on your behalf."

The man finally spoke, "Using me for a favor?"

Zhuang Lin fibbed, "How dare I."

The man chuckled, not taking offense, and said, "There’s not much time left, send someone to Bright Moon Building and say it can be arranged, let them prepare their act with ease."

"Agreed? Without seeing the act first?"

"No need."

Zhuang Lin gave him a knowing look, "I understand, you trust Miss Chu. I’ll let the shop assistant know to make the trip right away."

...

The assistant from Xuanbao Pavilion was quick on his feet, catching up with Chu Nanli partway.

"Liuli Madam!"

Chu Nanli turned around, recognized the shop assistant, and was slightly startled.

"Liuli Madam, Mr. Zhuang sent me to tell you. The matter you asked him to help with is settled, you can tell your friend to prepare the act."

Chu Nanli was genuinely surprised, "That fast?"

The assistant scratched his head, embarrassed, "Mr. Zhuang didn’t explain the details to me, so I can’t answer your question."

Chu Nanli wasn’t actually looking for a cause and effect, but she rewarded him with a piece of silver and said, "Thank you for your trouble."

The assistant did not dare to accept it, yet saw Chu Nanli’s steps subtly shifting as she turned away, and she walked off in an instant.

A gentle breeze lifted the hem of her robe and her hair. Her veil was flipped open at one corner, revealing a glimpse of her delicate jawline.

The assistant was briefly dazed, the phrase "Fairy Consort" flashing through his mind.

Chu Nanli was unaware that she had left the Xuanbao Pavilion assistant in a trance.

After entering Apricot Blossom Street and seeing that there was no one around, she slipped into a small alleyway and vanished into a space.

Soon, she emerged from the alley dressed as a man.

"He" was now the young master Jin Nan.
