Zhang Wei’s brows ascended in measured surprise, a sly gleam in his eyes as he appraised her prowess. “You’re quite skilled,” he remarked, his words hanging in the air with a subtle undercurrent that sent ripples through the surrounding crowd, each person interpreting his tone differently.
As the acknowledgment settled, Tang Lifen’s countenance plummeted. “Do you have a death wish?” Her displeasure etched across her face in a cascade of furrowed brows.
In response, Zhang Wei gracefully shook his head, a hint of amusement playing on his lips. “I harbor different desires, but alas, I doubt you can fulfill them.” He extracted a cigarette with deliberate languor, igniting it before her very eyes, a calculated act to stoke the fires of her ire.
Throughout the encounter, all eyes remained fixed on him, neglecting the presence of the Anna and Xiong Mei, accompanying him.
Zhang Wei pondered whether they deemed him the sole target or if these individuals simply lacked the capacity to pose a threat?
Tang Lifen’s face flushed crimson with anger, her gaze momentarily diverted downward. Her vision, obstructed by her ample bosom, betrayed a momentary twitch of her lips.
Meanwhile, Chi Fenyan stepped forward, brandishing a dagger. “How dare you show us such disrespect!” she exclaimed, the steel in her voice matching the glint of the blade she displayed.
“How dare I, haha!” Zhang Wei, with a mischievous glint in his eyes, couldn’t resist testing the limits of his newfound abilities.
A sudden whoosh echoed through the charged atmosphere as both daggers, once firmly gripped by Chi Fenyan, took flight.
They danced through the air with an otherworldly grace, halting abruptly in front of Zhang Wei. His laughter reverberated, a tantalizing blend of amusement and mastery.
“What!? My daggers!”
The shocked horror etched across Chi Fenyan’s face was palpable as she instinctively recoiled, taking an involuntary step backward.
Yin Yaqing, previously carefree, transformed in an instant. A sharp dual edged blade materialized in her hands, emerging seamlessly from the concealed recesses of her billowing sleeves.
She positioned herself strategically behind Tang Lifen, ready for whatever arcane display might unfold.
Tang Lifen, her eyes narrowing with a hint of unease beneath her feigned calmness, remarked, “So you possess some skills, huh?”
Zhang Wei’s grin widened. “More than a few.”
If she would be willing to accompany him in the bed, he might as well show her the whole circus.
In the midst of effortlessly juggling Chi Fenyan’s daggers, Zhang Wei tossed a nonchalant comment into the charged air, “By the way, could you ask her to cut the hiding act? It’s becoming rather unsettling.”
“Hidding?”
“Who?”
Confusion rippled through Qing Cuiying and Qing She, evident in their exchanged glances. Meanwhile, Chi Fenyan, Jin Feng, and Zi Weixiu engaged in a hushed exchange of perplexed whispers.
Only Tang Lifen and Yin Yaqing wore expressions steeped in shadow, their thoughts enigmatic.
‘Are we here to frighten him, or is he here to scare us?’ Yin Yaqing mused with a flicker of fascination.
Tang Lifen, recovering from her initial shock, inquired, “So you can see her, huh…”
Zhang Wei, with a mischievous grin, confirmed, “Why is she playing hide and seek? Is she shy in the presence of handsome men?”
“…”
“…”
“…”
Pftt…!
Unexpectedly, Tang Lifen shattered the quietude with a laugh that held a mysterious undertone. “Perhaps she might be,” her laughter rippled through the air, sending a strange, almost unsettling crawling sensation down Zhang Wei’s skin.
Yin Yaqing responded with a wry smile, adding to the mystery.
Jin Feng, increasingly confounded, sought clarification. “Lifen, what on earth are you two discussing? Is there someone else between us?”
Yin Yaqing assumed the role of informant, shedding light on the cryptic conversation. “Ever wondered why the gem of the Jade court is referred to as the seven enchantress?”
“… Because there are seven of us?” Jin Feng speculated, audibly counting.
With a wry smile, Yin Yaqing shook her head. “Exclude Lifen, and how many remain among us?”
“…Six?” Jin Feng muttered, the realization dawning. “Someone is concealed among us…?”
Yin Yaqing’s smile deepened, “Not hiding. She’s simply beyond our sight.”
!!
A ripple of disbelief passed through the gathered as Chi Fenyan voiced the question that lingered in the air. “But how is it possible? We’ve served Tang Lifen for years—why were we kept in dark about this?”
“Enough,” Tang Lifen’s commanding voice rose, her raised hands momentarily quelling the rising tide of inquiries. Her intense gaze focused on Zhang Wei, as if ready to send him to buddha for a vacation.
“Are you attempting to sow discord among us?” Tang Lifen’s spoke with a sharp tone.
Zhang Wei, seemingly unfazed, nonchalantly shrugged. “I wasn’t earlier, but now I think you might owe your subordinates an explanation.”
“…”
Tang Lifen’s expression darkened as all eyes, save for Yin Yaqing’s, turned toward her, demanding answers.
Shaking her head, Tang Lifen deferred the explanation for later. “Zhang Wei, you’ve harmed two members of the Jade court and made enemies of us.”
Zhang Wei’s smile widened as he posed a provocative question, “So, are you here to engage in a fight with me?”
His outward display of confidence masked an inner acknowledgment of the disadvantageus situation. To him, revealing any hint of weakness was akin to admitting defeat.
The subtle strategy was effective, weaving an enigmatic strong around Zhang Wei. Tang Lifen couldn’t help but marvel, “So mysterious, huh?” Her mind raced with questions, particularly about the unseen force that had manipulated the daggers earlier.
In a discreet gesture to Yin Yaqing, Tang Lifen motioned for her to step forward. Zhang Wei, raising an intrigued brow, watched as Yin Yaqing approached, bearing an envelope.
“Wait there!” Zhang Wei’s command echoed, and in an instant, the suspended daggers dropped to the ground.
Swoosh!
Snatching the envelope with swift telekinesis, he opened it in mid-air. With a meticulous scrutiny, he inspected its contents, his actions revealing a masterful control over the unseen forces at play, to others, appearing like almost magic to them!
Tang Lifen pressed on with a genuine sincerity in her gaze. “We’re not here to engage in hostilities but rather to extend our sincere apologies. Qing Cuiying and Qing She may have overstepped boundaries in your territory, and while a response was justified, it appears to have escalated unnecessarily. In an earnest effort to repair relations, the Jade Court extends an invitation to you for the upcoming auction in Xianghui city. We hope to explore the possibility of collaboration between our organizations, and this time, in a setting of peace.”
“??”
Caught off guard, Zhang Wei couldn’t help but question, “Have you lost your mind?”
Qing Cuiying and the others remained silent, their faces mirroring the dark confusion that enveloped the unexpected turn of events. None of them had been informed about this development, leaving them in a state of disconcerted surprise.
The shadows of confusion draped over them—why were they kept in the dark?
Weren’t they supposed to engage in a battle, not extend an olive branch?
Tang Lifen furrowed her brows, delivering a decisive statement, “The invitation is in your hands. Come if you wish, or refrain from setting foot in Xianghui again.” With that, she departed, trailed by her entourage.
“What…? That’s it?” Qing She protested incredulously.
“If you seek a fight, you’re free to face him alone,” Tang Lifen replied, her words echoing through without sparing them a backward glance.
Qing Cuiying nudged Qing She, urging her to relent. “Don’t you hear her? Let’s go back already!”
Amidst the unfolding confusion, Zhang Wei, at the center of it all, found himself baffled. However, he couldn’t let them depart without some parting words. “Hey, Yin Yaqing, how about switching sides? I can offer double the pay and even some warmth at night!” he called out from behind, injecting a note of cheekiness.
“What!?” Yin Yaqing’s face twtiched – she tripped, nearly stumbling, her eyes wide open in astonishment as she glanced back.
“Yaqing, don’t pay attention to his nonsense,” Tang Lifen cautioned.
“O-Okay,” Yin Yaqing nodded, a faint blush lingering on her face. ‘How does he know my full name?’
[Host, she fell in love with you!]
Zhang Wei shook his head, a disdainful smirk playing on his lips. “Just a group of virgin maidens pretending to be tough.”
Dismissing the invitation with indifference, he stowed it away in his inventory before turning back toward Xiong Mei, patiently waiting in the car for him.
Her legs tapped against the car mat with unease, and she finally sighed in relief as he closed the door.
“Scared?” Zhang Wei inquired, placing a hand over her thighs.
Xiong Mei shook her head. “I was scared they wouldn’t be able to bear your words and lose their minds.” She managed a quick smile as Zhang Wei chuckled, appreciating her attempt to put on a tough front, and started the car.
