"Sister Qianyu! If you turn right up ahead, you'll see the Luo family mansion!"
On the street, a stunning figure weaved through the sights of all the passersby, attracting 100% of the attention wherever they went.
"Is that... isn't that Teacher Ye?"
"It is! It absolutely is! Don't you see who's next to him? Goddess Qianxun! Goddess Qianxun is here too!"
"Wait! Isn't that the eldest daughter of the Xu family? She's here too?"
"And who is that woman in the red dress holding Teacher Ye's right arm? I've never seen her before!"
"This... this might be some huge gossip!"
"Go cool off! Didn't you see Goddess Qianxun is here too? They're all chatting and laughing, they look like close friends!"
"But... but the way that woman in the red dress is acting is too intimate, this..." httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Dispel those filthy thoughts! When I brushed past them just now, I heard the woman call Teacher Ye 'brother'! She's Teacher Ye's sister!"
"Teacher Ye has a sister? This news is too explosive!"
"I've decided. From now on, I'm Teacher Ye's brother-in-law. No one will snatch him from me!"
"Get lost! Have some dignity!"
"..."
Ignoring the chatter around them, Ye Ming and the others didn't pay it any mind. Instead, Su Chirui was overjoyed.
After all, she had spent most of her time in a secluded land and rarely encountered such a lively scene. Thus, everything before her was filled with novelty for Su Chirui.
"Sister Chirui! There are many places in the capital that are even more lively than this. Why don't we go out and have a good time tonight!" Xu Jingyao said with a smile.
"Okay! It's a deal!"
Su Chirui agreed without hesitation and also pulled Nangong Qianyu along. "Qianyu! You should come with us too!"
"Okay!"
Nangong Qianyu nodded and looked at Ye Ming. "What about you?"
"Forget it! I won't get involved!"
Ye Ming smiled and shook his head. He, a grown man, accompanying a group of women shopping just didn't feel right.
Although it was something countless men would envy, Young Master Ye knew very well that if he went out with them, he would definitely become free labor.
"We're here!"
A few minutes later, Xu Jingyao pointed to the ancient-looking building before them and said softly, "This is the Luo family mansion!"
The building was indeed vast. At a glance, one could see nearly ten mansions within the courtyard. Each mansion was almost two to three hundred square meters in size.
As expected of a prominent family in the capital.
"Let's go! Let's settle this business quickly so we sisters can go shopping properly!" Su Chirui clenched her fist, a cold glint flashing in her beautiful eyes.
"This is the Luo family mansion. Please leave immediately if you are not invited!"
As they approached, two security guards with dark circles under their eyes blocked their path.
"Don't be rude!"
Before Ye Ming could speak, Xu Jingyao stepped forward and reprimanded the two guards.
"Miss Xu... Miss Xu! Please forgive us!"
Hearing this, the two guards belatedly realized that the person before them was none other than the eldest daughter of the Xu family, and they quickly bowed and apologized.
"Hmph! You don't even know who's coming..."
"Jingyao, let's go!"
Ye Ming interrupted her with a hand gesture and shook his head. "There's no need to waste time on such trivial matters."
"Okay!"
Then, Xu Jingyao led them towards the interior of the mansion.
"Phew! That scared me to death. I shouldn't have stayed up so late yesterday. I almost didn't recognize Miss Xu!"
After they left, the guard on the left breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yeah! Fortunately, Miss Xu came. She's gentle and kind, and didn't blame us. We're lucky!"
"Exactly! We almost mistook the young master for a beggar just now. I was so scared! But the young master seemed to be in a hurry then, so he let us off. Otherwise..."
"Alright! Stop talking! My head is still a bit dizzy! You wouldn't believe it if I told you, I almost mistook the other two for Teacher Ye and Goddess Qianxun just now!"
"Wh... what! You're seeing things too! I thought it was just me!"
"Damn it! No more going to Yanxiang Pavilion on weekdays. We'll end up in big trouble sooner or later!"
"R-right! No more!"
...
After entering the inner courtyard and walking for a while, Xu Jingyao's brows suddenly furrowed.
"What's wrong?" Ye Ming noticed her unusual behavior.
"Why is it so quiet?" Xu Jingyao asked, puzzled. "At this time, there should be many Luo family disciples moving around in the inner courtyard. Why is there no one here now?"
For some reason, a bad premonition suddenly arose in Xu Jingyao's heart.
"It is indeed unusual!"
Ye Ming had also noticed this.
"Let me check first!"
Ye Ming expanded his senses.
Xu Jingyao and Nangong Qianyu did the same.
For the two of them, a small Luo family mansion could be completely scanned in less than a second, inside and out.
"Brother!"
Xu Jingyao's voice echoed in Ye Ming's mind.
At the same time, her gaze fell upon Su Chirui.
Su Chirui had discovered something.
"It seems you've noticed too!"
Ye Ming knew what Su Chirui was trying to convey.
"Ye Ming! Should we tell Jingyao?" Nangong Qianyu's voice also came through.
"Not yet!"
Ye Ming shook his head and looked at Xu Jingyao, saying, "Let's go, I know where all the Luo family members have gone!"
"O-okay!"
Although Xu Jingyao didn't know what had happened, she had keenly sensed the sudden shift in the atmosphere.
However, she didn't ask.
Subsequently, the group walked towards a mansion in the very center.
That was the Luo family's main residence.
A moment later, they arrived outside the main hall.
"Oh! Isn't this Niece Jingyao? What brings you to visit Uncle Luo all of a sudden?"
Just then, a middle-aged man with a slightly plump physique walked out of the hall. His gaze fell on Xu Jingyao first, and he said with a smile.
"Uncle... Uncle Luo!"
Upon seeing this person, Xu Jingyao still politely addressed him.
"These people are..."
Luo Hou nodded and then looked at the others beside her.
He seemed not to recognize Ye Ming and Nangong Qianyu.
In response, Ye Ming and Nangong Qianyu exchanged a smile and said nothing.
At this moment, Xu Jingyao also noticed something was amiss.
Because she knew very well that Luo Hou couldn't possibly not recognize Ye Ming.
More accurately!
In the entire upper-class circle of Gaoqiao Country, there was no one who didn't recognize Teacher Ye, who was famous worldwide.
Especially at this time, Ye Ming had just conducted a live broadcast in Gaoqiao Country.
Therefore, Xu Jingyao was certain that Luo Hou had something to hide.
"Chirui! You've been holding back for a long time! Go ahead!"
Just then, Ye Ming said something seemingly inexplicable to Su Chirui.
Upon hearing this, she turned into a fiery streak and vanished from her spot.
