Seeing the unusual expression on Seventh Master, Roxia couldn't help but be taken aback.
In Roxia's mind, she initially thought that Drunken Lady was trying to win over Xiao Yun by taking him to a hotel for something inappropriate. But from Seventh Master's expression, it didn't seem like that was the case.
What kind of secret place could it be?
What kind of unspeakable things were Drunken Lady and Long San planning to do there?
No matter how hard Roxia racked her brain, she couldn't figure it out.
Looking at Seventh Master again, he seemed to have some unspoken concerns, as if there were things he found difficult to say in front of her.
Roxia hesitated slightly and said, "Seventh Master, I had Nie Yun quietly follow the young lady's car. Should I have her bring the young lady back?"
"What? Nie Yun is still following the young lady?" Seventh Master asked in surprise.
Roxia nodded and replied, "Yes, um, is that not okay?"
Seventh Master waved his hand and sighed, "You need to tell Nie Yun to come back right away. If the young lady finds out she's being followed, with her fiery temper, do you think she would let it go?"
"Okay, I'll text her right now!" Roxia took out her phone and sent a message to Nie Yun, instructing her to return to Drunken Pavilion immediately.
After putting away her phone, Seventh Master sighed, "Roxia, I arranged for you and Nie Yun to be by Charming Jade's side not only to keep an eye on her movements but also to ensure her safety. This young lady is quite willful; as her Godfather, no matter what I say, she never listens. Sigh... let's not talk about it."
"Seventh Master, I believe that since you care for her so much, she will eventually understand your feelings," Roxia encouraged upon seeing Seventh Master's pained expression.
Seventh Master shook his head and said, "She won't understand, and I don't need her to understand!"
"Seventh Master, you..." Roxia felt a slight shock in her heart.
"Seventh Master said, 'I will not blame Charming Jade. Good and evil have their consequences; this is my retribution.'"
Roxia seemed a bit confused by Seventh Master's words.
However, she did not ask for clarification. When it came to things Seventh Master did not wish to discuss, asking would be pointless.
Moreover, Roxia considered herself merely a small bodyguard assigned by Seventh Master to be beside Drunken Lady, and some matters were not hers to question.
"Roxia, you should return to Drunken Pavilion. Don't stay here too long, or your lady might become suspicious when she comes back," Seventh Master said.
Roxia immediately nodded and replied, "Alright, Seventh Master, I will take my leave!" With that, she turned to leave.
"Roxia!"
Just as she reached the door of the study, she was called back by Seventh Master.
Roxia had no choice but to stop and turn back, smiling as she asked, "Seventh Master, is there anything else you need?"
Seventh Master paused for a moment, stood up from the rattan chair, walked around the tea table, and approached her. Hesitantly, he said, "Roxia, how do you think Seventh Master treats you?"
Roxia was taken aback.
Usually, Seventh Master acted with thunderous speed and decisiveness; today, he seemed to be preoccupied and spoke hesitantly.
"Seventh Master has always treated me like a beloved granddaughter; there's nothing to say!" Roxia replied with a smile.
Seventh Master stroked his chin thoughtfully and nodded. "Good! Roxia, I have always relied on you greatly. You must keep a close eye on any unusual actions from your lady and report directly to me at all times. Of course, when you come here, do not let her know."
"I understand!" Roxia felt puzzled; Floral Beauty Jade was merely Seventh Master's goddaughter and often looked down on him. Why was he so concerned about her?
Seventh Master added, "Also, you and Nie Yun must ensure the lady's safety!"
"Understood," Roxia said.
"Alright, you can go!" Seventh Master replied with a smile.
After watching Roxia leave, Seventh Master's expression immediately darkened as he muttered to himself, "Charming Jade, you clearly don't love Long San. Are you really willing to disregard everything just to save your senior sister..."
With a sigh, a fierce glint flashed in Seventh Master's eyes. He thought to himself, it seems that the bloody battle between me and Paradise Beauty Club is inevitable!
...
Just as Roxia drove away from Peach Blossom Island, she received a call from Nie Yun.
"Sister Roxia, I've returned to Drunken Pavilion!" Nie Yun said.
"Oh, that's good. Um, have you seen where Drunken Lady and Long San went?" Roxia asked, one hand on the steering wheel and the other holding her phone.
"I followed them for a while and found that Drunken Lady's car went to a deserted thicket more than twenty miles outside of West City District. I was curious about what she was doing with Long San there. I intended to follow them further but then received your text, so I had to come back!" Nie Yun explained.
Hearing this, Roxia was taken aback again. The abandoned thicket in the west of the city was desolate, overgrown with grass and trees—a place where wild foxes and snakes roamed. It was rarely visited by people and could indeed be considered a place not meant to be seen.
But what did she bring Long San there for?
What secretive business were they up to?
Roxia then heard Nie Yun ask on the other end of the line, "Sister Roxia, where are you?"
Roxia smiled and replied, "I'm on my way back from Seventh Master's place and will be at Drunken Pavilion shortly!"
After hanging up the phone, Roxia seemed to remember something and dialed a number. When the phone connected, she said with a smile, "Wei Ge, I have some matters to report to you."
"Hehe, is it about Drunken Lady? Great!" Wei Qinghe responded cheerfully from the other end.
It turns out that Roxia's identity is quite complicated.
She is not only a bodyguard assigned by Seventh Master to Drunken Flower Beauty, responsible for her safety and gathering information on her every move to report back to Seventh Master; she is also affiliated with Wei Qinghe, ready to report the whereabouts of both Seventh Master and Drunken Lady to Wei Qinghe.
It's similar to Tofu Xishi, who is also connected to both Wei Qinghe and Drunken Flower Beauty. It seems they are using various means to obtain something they desire.
...
Drunken Lady drove her sports car at high speed, entering an abandoned Thicket more than twenty miles outside the western city suburbs. After driving for a while, she arrived at a riverbank half an hour later.
The winter riverbed appeared quite bare, with hills on the opposite bank. The green pines and cypress trees on the mountains reflected in the still river water, while the reeds along the shore swayed gently in the river breeze.
After getting out of the car, Xiao Yun looked around and then inexplicably turned to Floral Beauty Jade, saying, “Drunken Lady, why did you bring me to this godforsaken place?”
Drunken Lady looked at Xiao Yun with seductive eyes and laughed softly, “Isn't it rude to say such coarse words in front of a girl?”
“Come on, don't joke with me. You still consider yourself a girl? I should be calling you a crazy woman instead!” Xiao Yun couldn't help but laugh.
Upon hearing Xiao Yun's words, Floral Beauty Jade was not angry. She charmingly asked, “Long San, do you think this place counts as somewhere we shouldn't be seen?”
Xiao Yun smiled wryly and replied, “It should be considered that way!”
Floral Beauty Jade extended her delicate finger and pointed at the lush green grass covering the riverbank, playfully asking, “Isn't this just the perfect place for us to do something we shouldn't be seen doing?”
