Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 218 Let me show you the excitement

"Looks like they got the news quickly," Gu Qingyue said, picking up her teacup to moisten her mouth.

"Where did you go?" Mu Yun Chu asked.

Mu Nan cupped his hands in greeting, "I'm going to Hongcui Pavilion."

After saying that, he looked down at his toes. Actually, he was a little embarrassed to say it in front of Gu Qingyue, a woman, because that was a brothel!

But remembering that she had once disguised herself as a man to visit the Bamboo Ritual Hall, she spoke frankly about it.

He wasn't sure if his master would be angry, but given Gu Qingyue's mischievous nature, she would definitely be happy to hear it.

Mu Yun Chu was unaware that his subordinates had unknowingly and subconsciously come to regard Gu Qing Yue as another master.

"Okay, keep an eye on it."

As evening approached, the snow outside became even heavier.

Gu Qingyue had a good sleep in bed, then opened the window and looked at the leaden gray sky outside.

Snowflakes drifted down, covering the trees, rooftops, and walls in a blanket of white, making the whole world seem like a fairytale.

Gu Qingyue quickly dressed, put on her cloak and gloves, opened the door, and happily skipped into the yard. Her deerskin boots crunched on the thick snow.

The backyard of this general store only had two sections, and the yard wasn't big. Gu Qingyue flew onto the roof.

Looking out, the sky and earth had become one, a vast expanse of white, and the distance was completely obscured.

Gu Qingyue took a few deep breaths; everything was cool, and the air was filled with a refreshing chill and a subtle fragrance, like that of cold bamboo.

Wait, a subtle fragrance?

Before Gu Qingyue could turn around, a warm body pressed against her, accompanied by a man's soft chuckle, "You really can't stay in the house for long."

Gu Qingyue blushed. Was she really that restless?

She felt a little embarrassed when she thought about how Mu Yun Chu had refused her request to go to Hong Cui Ge that afternoon.

"No, I'm not," she subconsciously refused to admit that she liked to tinker around and didn't like to stay still and rot.

"Heh-----" A pleasant laugh came from the man's chest, and Gu Qingyue's body trembled slightly. Was this man so happy?

"I'll take you to see the excitement," the man said, already pulling Gu Qingyue off the roof.

Gu Qingyue's eyes lit up. "Okay."

Mu Yun Chu looked at the little girl's excited appearance with amusement, tightened her cloak, took her little hand, and left the general store through the back door.

As darkness fell, there were few pedestrians on the streets before nightfall. The two were wearing hoods, so no one recognized them.

Across the street from Hongcui Pavilion, Mu Yun Chu pulled Gu Qing Yue through the back door of a shop.

Gu Qingyue was very curious. They just walked in so casually. The old man at the gate naturally led the two of them toward the shop in front, without asking a single question or stopping them.

Gu Qingyue turned to stare at Mu Yunchu, her eyes asking a question.

“He’s Lao Luo, he doesn’t know how to talk,” Mu Yun Chu whispered in her ear.

Gu Qingyue understood; this was Mu Yun Chu's person.

Once the two were seated in the private room upstairs, they looked out the window and saw the Red Jade Pavilion right across from them.

Well, she should have known better; Mu Yun Chu definitely wouldn't take her inside the Red Jade Pavilion.

She was a little disappointed that she should have disguised herself and sneaked in earlier that afternoon; now she could only watch from the other side.

Luckily, she had already been to the Bamboo Ritual Hall before, otherwise she would never have been to a place like this before, hehe!

But—for now—it's no problem for her!

She leaned against the window and instantly released her spiritual power; the Red Jade Pavilion was undoubtedly within her reach.

The lobby was chaotic, and there were some rooms upstairs—well, just one glance made her feel like she was going to get a sty.

She glanced around quickly, then suddenly her eyes landed on a side room.

Then, she watched with great interest what was happening in the room.

A man stood arrogantly with one foot on a table, next to which sat another young man.

The man looked down at them, cursing and swearing.

The man opposite him leaned back lazily on the soft couch, holding a white porcelain cup in one hand and blowing on the tea inside.

He spoke calmly, "Young Master Wang seems to have the refined taste to visit Miss Xiangxiang. I wonder if Master Wang is aware of this?"

Young Master Wang? Could this be the only son of Wang Dafu's family?

As they listened, sure enough, the playboy was Wang Tianjun, and the man opposite him was Mr. Hui.

Mu Yun Chu was opposite her, watching her strange expressions change from time to time. Just as she was about to call out to her, she suddenly remembered something.

He looked at the little girl's face with great interest, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"What did you hear?" Mu Yun Chu asked after a short while.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyue immediately snapped out of her daze and withdrew her mental energy.

She suddenly remembered that she had once told Mu Yun Chu about her extraordinary hearing.

It seems that Mu Yun Chu knows she's 'eavesdropping' on what's going on across the street.

In fact, she can not only hear, but also see.

Ahem, you can't tell anyone about this! Otherwise, you'd definitely be dragged away by the person in front of you right now!

Gu Qingyue blushed slightly as she recalled some inappropriate scenes she had just seen.

He feigned composure and began, "Wang Tianjun was arguing with a man—it seems it was about a girl named Xiangxiang."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yun Chu looked at Gu Qing Yue in surprise. He hadn't expected that she could actually hear him from so far away.

Suddenly remembering that there might be other sounds in the brothel, his expression changed.

"Let's go. You're not allowed to eavesdrop near brothels again—basically, don't use your superhuman hearing."

Seeing Mu Yun Chu's sudden change in expression, Gu Qing Yue thought for a moment and understood what he was worried about, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

If he knew that he had not only heard it, but also seen it, what kind of expression would he have?

"You're so cute, hahaha-------" Gu Qingyue wasn't really a fourteen-year-old girl; she was already twenty-six when she was killed in her previous life.

Seeing the man's expression, she couldn't help but reach out and touch his dark hair that was loose over his shoulders.

This man, who isn't even of legal age yet, should only be called a teenager. It's hilarious, hahaha...

Mu Yun Chu grabbed her mischievous hand in an annoyed manner and tried to help her stand up.

Gu Qingyue deftly withdrew her hand and spoke at the opportune moment: "I haven't finished speaking yet!"

Mu Yun Chu looked at her suddenly serious expression and said, "Go on."

Gu Qingyue thought for a moment and then picked out the key points to talk about.

The main thing was what I just heard, mostly about jealousy and rivalry, with Wang Tianjun even making lewd remarks about how wonderful it was to touch Xiangxiang's private parts and how blissful it was when they were together.

These—of course—are omitted; they cannot be mentioned.

Related to them is Ms. Orchid, Guo's cousin. Knowing that Mr. Hui had slept with her lover, Wang Tianjun felt cheated on and that's why he caused trouble for Mr. Hui.

"Anything else?" Mu Yun Chu sat down again and asked Gu Qing Yue.

“And…” Gu Qingyue rubbed her chin.

She saw Wang Tianjun pat some medicinal powder onto Mr. Hui's shoulder while he was talking to the other person.

Gu Qingyue was a little curious, wondering what kind of medicinal powder it was.

This spoiled brat can even poison people?

This is what I saw, but I can't say about it.

Mr. Hui clearly didn't take the other party's provocative gesture of patting his shoulder seriously. He waved his hand and had Wang Tianjun thrown out.

"Also, I heard Mr. Hui have someone throw Wang Tianjun out," Gu Qingyue said with a gloating expression.

'Bang! Bang!' Just as Gu Qingyue finished speaking to Mu Yun Chu, she saw two people being casually thrown onto the street like sacks at the entrance of Hong Cui Ge.
