The atmosphere was incredibly awkward.
Lei Meng Sha's night was about to end before it even began.
His wife, Li Xin Yue, suddenly appeared and, without hesitation, twisted his ear, showing no mercy.
Forced to seek help from the others, Lei Meng Sha insisted he hadn't come for a night of revelry.
“Senior Brother, you can vouch for me! It wasn't that Junior Brother insisted on coming, I just couldn't refuse his kindness. Dong Ba, what did I tell you? Men need to control themselves, never come to places like this!”
Seeing his constant winks, Bai Li Dong Jun nearly burst out laughing.
Poor Lei Meng Sha, how afraid of his wife!
“Yes, I can confirm that. We were going to have some drinks, but it wasn't Second Brother, nor was it Junior Brother!”
Jun Yu proudly declared: “It was this Senior Brother who insisted on bringing the junior disciples with me, you shouldn't mind it!”
Li Xin Yue had never met Jun Yu before, but she had heard about the Senior Brother's recent return.
Even without knowing, she could guess a bit.
So, she was exceptionally polite, releasing her grip on Lei Meng Sha's ear.
“Senior Brother, I apologize for this! But, it's not really appropriate for Academy disciples to come to a place like this! Don't let this rascal corrupt you!”
Despite Jun Yu's cover, Li Xin Yue wasn't buying it.
After all, she knew her husband's nature quite well.
“Wife, just believe me. I promise, I won't come back here! Let's go back to our warm home, okay?”
Lei Meng Sha was quite meek.
After all, his reputation was ruined.
How could he command respect from his junior brothers after this?
Li Xin Yue couldn't help but roll her eyes, but she had to give him some face.
“Alright, are you coming home with me?”
Then, she addressed Jun Yu: “Senior Brother, I suggest you avoid places like this! We'll be leaving now?”
“Of course, of course! I'll immediately advise them to leave.”
Clever as he was, Jun Yu subtly gestured for Yue Yao to escort them out.
Just get rid of the troublesome people.
Then, he wouldn't have to worry about any interruptions.
“Senior Brother, shall we go too?”
Little Bai Li took his words seriously and asked.
However, watching Li Xin Yue’s departing figure, Jun Yu shook his head decisively.
“Lei Er, you really embarrassed us men! How can a dignified man be so afraid of his wife?”
He couldn't help but express his disdain. He not only planned to continue drinking here, but also intended to flirt with the courtesan later.
Being a man means freedom to come and go as you please.
Why be trapped by one tree when there's an entire forest to explore?
Seeing Lei Meng Sha being dragged away, Bai Li Dong Jun and the others were speechless.
They felt like their good mood had been completely ruined.
What was the point of this?
“Gentlemen, you're rare guests! Are you here for the courtesans today?”
Just then.
The proprietress of Hundred Flowers House greeted them.
She was inquiring if they were interested in the services offered at the house.
After all, there was business to be done.
Bai Li Dong Jun was taken aback.
Just as he was unsure how to respond, a drunkard stumbled over and asked if Feng Qiu Yu was performing tonight.
He was eagerly awaiting her music!
This caught everyone's attention.
Could Feng Qiu Yu be the courtesan Lei Meng Sha mentioned?
Was she truly that charming?
“Dong Jun, should your senior brother show you how to properly interact with women?”
Jun Yu smiled faintly, but he went upstairs, heading to meet the courtesan.
“No way! Miss Feng doesn't just see anyone!”
The proprietress was about to stop him, but Feng Qiu Yu just happened to come out to perform.
Jun Yu was polite and waited to the side, taking out a green leaf and gently blowing a melody.
It was the same tune as hers, but with a different arrangement.
Bai Li Dong Jun and Si Kong Chang Feng were both shocked.
Especially Si Kong Chang Feng.
He found the tune very familiar.
He was about to take out his own leaf and play along.
But Jun Yu had already beaten him to it.
And he had already done it so well.
If he played now, it would just be a poor imitation.
He gave up the idea, feeling a sense of unease about the situation.
In no time.
Feng Qiu Yu finished her performance, receiving countless applauses.
But a maid came downstairs and bowed to Jun Yu.
“Sir, our mistress requests your presence!”
No way?
Bai Li Dong Jun and Si Kong Chang Feng exchanged glances, stunned once again.
Jun Yu's move was incredibly smooth!
He had simply played a tune with a leaf, and it had charmed the courtesan into seeing him!
You're too good at this!
However, ignoring their envious gazes, Jun Yu calmly followed the maid upstairs, his mind already set on his approach.
Flirting?
He'd already studied the strategies, it was just a matter of optimization.
Behind a curtain, Feng Qiu Yu stood on the other side and asked Jun Yu.
“Sir, where did you learn that tune?”
“Well, guess!”
Jun Yu deliberately played coy and refused to tell the truth.
This inappropriate response naturally earned Feng Qiu Yu's disapproval.
“Sir, how frivolous of you. I was merely surprised to hear a familiar tune from my hometown here, and you mock me?”
Feng Qiu Yu expressed slight annoyance and even hinted at wanting him to leave.
But Jun Yu knew that women often spoke in reverse.
It was a way of testing his sincerity!
He immediately straightened his face and said: “Miss, you've misunderstood. I'm actually an orphan. I lost my parents when I was young, and I don't know where my hometown is. I wandered the streets until I was six years old, and it was my master who kindly took me in...”
He embraced the role of a tragic figure, speaking earnestly, describing his past as pitifully as possible.
This left Feng Qiu Yu a little confused.
She felt like she had misunderstood him, perhaps she was a little narrow-minded.
“Sir, you've had a hard life. Perhaps Qiu Yu has misjudged you. It’s just that I once had a brother, but we lost contact many years ago. I thought you might be from my hometown and could help me find out.”
“Miss Feng has a brother? He’s truly fortunate. I've always wished for a sister, but I haven't had the chance. If you don't mind, you’ll be my sister from now on!”
“What are you talking about?”
Feng Qiu Yu was flustered.
How did I suddenly become your sister?
You should be flirting with a sister!
Unfortunately, Jun Yu’s tactics were just getting started.
He deliberately said provocative things, then quickly backtracked, claiming it was all in good faith.
He said that since he never had family, he wanted a sister whom he could protect.
He also said that he would call his brother by the same name as hers.
Feng Qiu Yu was flabbergasted.
Why are you taking advantage of me?
She immediately rushed out of the curtain, intending to kick him.
Luckily, he had anticipated her move.
Jun Yu stepped back in time to dodge her not-so-lethal kick, then flashed forward, approaching her.
They locked eyes, their faces inches apart!
