Chapter Thirty-Six: Revisiting Yunxiang Pavilion

  After dinner, Daiyu returned home with two maids. Liu Xiyue watched her back and made a decision in her heart: she would be loyal to Daiyu for the rest of her life and do things for her. Li Wei's eyes moved around, thinking about how to take advantage of this opportunity tomorrow. But Daiyu didn't care about any of these things anymore; she stared blankly at the note in her hand. Zijuan and Xueyan thought she was asleep and had already withdrawn, but actually, after they left, Daiyu began to fiddle with the note in her hand.

  The note had only six words: "You know, I already know." Daiyu found this note on the desk in the study and hid it directly in her hand, taking it back to her room. If what was written on the note was true, then Kangxi was really terrifying, and she had indeed been too arrogant recently. Perhaps in her previous world, she could protect herself by doing so, but here... Daiyu couldn't help but smile bitterly, feeling that she was not used to this place. Rubbing her cheek, Daiyu thought of the slap Lin Ruhai had given her, and the hidden fear in Lin Ruhai's eyes. Daiyu understood that Lin Ruhai probably already knew about Kangxi being aware of things, but didn't dare tell her.

  Alas! Daiyu sighed, and with that, many things could be explained clearly. However, there was still one question - who had put the note on her desk? Suddenly, Daiyu felt a chill run down her spine, and she crumpled the note in her hand into powder in an instant. She closed her eyes, pretending to fall asleep.

  A person walked to his bed, or more accurately, floated to the side of his bed. His somewhat chilly hand stroked his cheek, "What about Lin Daiyu? I've taken a liking to you, that's why I'm helping you."

  Daiyu felt a little out of control. This voice was very familiar to her, it was Yinghua, the master of Yunxiang Pavilion. She held her breath and didn't want him to notice that she was still awake.

  "I know you're awake, I've been watching you for a long time, isn't it strange? Don't frown," Yinghua said in a nagging tone.

  "What exactly do you want?" Daiyu opened her eyes and gazed coldly at Yinghua, this man was very sinister and dangerous, she had to be careful.

  "It's not bad. I provided you with the information, shouldn't you be grateful to me?" Ying Hua gave a charming smile and threw a flirtatious glance at Dai Yu, who felt a wave of disgust. This man was actually flirting with a seven-year-old girl, he was truly hopeless.

  "Yes, I'd like to thank you. But since you've entered my room three times, shouldn't I settle the score with you?" Daiyu didn't plan on fighting with Yinghua, she wasn't clear about Yinghua's strength, and acting rashly wasn't a wise move.

  "You're really good at calculations, but when you become my wife, what's the point of calculating these things?" After speaking, Yinghua stretched out his hand towards Daiyu's pretty face. Daiyu moved slightly and dodged his hand, getting down from the bed. This Yinghua was indeed a bit impulsive, but she didn't dislike his personality; he resembled someone. In a daze, Daiyu saw Johnnie's face flash before her eyes, and couldn't help but smile wryly - she had actually thought of that man again.

  Yinghua saw Daiyu's bitter smile and furrowed her brow, "Who are you thinking of? Who did you see through me? I always feel that your gaze is very profound, completely unlike a seven-year-old little girl."

  "Do you know that Kangxi is monitoring me? How dare you still come?" Daiyu hid her smile and became expressionless again, changing the subject.

  Yinghua was taken aback, "Just dodge it, it's not a big deal, you can also pay attention. Isn't that right, Miss Lin?" Yinghua smiled slyly, he dared to confirm that Daiyu would definitely have martial arts skills, but to what extent he couldn't tell.

  "Maybe, I just haven't fully adapted yet. Does the Cloud Pavilion only listen to you?" Daiyu had a thought that was already taking shape in her mind, and for now, she couldn't make decisions on her own, but as for the Jianghu, the Tiandi Society couldn't move, perhaps this Cloud Pavilion could be used.

  "Nature listens to me, and as long as Miss Lin is willing, Yunxiang Pavilion will also listen to you."

  "What's your condition?" Lin Daiyu asked straightforwardly, "There is no free lunch in this world."

  "What's it like being my wife?" The words had barely left his lips when he felt a chill on the back of his neck, and a needle was pressed against his vital point. "What did you just say, sir?" Daiyu asked coldly, detesting being threatened.

  "Nothing." Yinghua flicked her lips and continued smiling at Daiyu, "What do you need me to do?"

  "I want to know all the news that can be inquired." My own news network must be stronger than Kangxi's, only then can I do the next thing.

  "This is easy, I will regularly send it to you. If there's an urgent message, I'll personally deliver it to you." Yinghua nodded, ignoring the needle on her neck.

  "I won't let you down." Daiyu knew that with her current power, she couldn't make any promises, but that didn't mean it wouldn't be possible in the future.

  "I wonder how Miss Lin wants to repay me? What about the three conditions?" Yinghua smiled, the more I get in touch with you, the more interested I become, what can I do? Do I really have to marry you? Yinghua was a bit conflicted, she had actually developed an interest in a little girl, it's really troublesome.

  Daiyu originally wanted to refuse directly, but after thinking about it, she nodded, "However, you can't force me to marry you or anything like that, and you can't hurt my mother." This was Daiyu's bottom line.

  "No problem, since I'm willing to help you, I won't settle accounts with Lord Lin again." Ah, someone's coming, I'll leave. A gust of wind passed, and Yinghua had already disappeared from sight. Daiyu looked in the direction he left, deep in thought. The power behind is the most important thing, now she can only rely on the power of the Lin family, but sooner or later she will be defeated by Kangxi, so she must bide her time and cultivate her own power.

  Creak, the door opened, Daiyu closed her eyes. A pair of gentle hands helped herself cover up the thrown quilt, sighed, "Miss, how can I protect you?" Daiyu didn't move, Zi Juan retreated and closed the door.

  Only the conversation between Xue Yan and Zi Juan came from outside, "Sister Zi Juan, why did you go to the outhouse and come back to Miss's room?"

  "I just feared Miss would have a nightmare, so I came to take a look." The voices of the two people gradually faded away, Daiyu's mind was filled with doubts again. Zi Juan is a member of the Tiandi Society, why does she want to protect herself? What does the Tiandi Society want to get from her? Everything is still unknown, but for now, she won't think about these things anymore.

  On the second day, Daiyu made an appointment with Liu Xiumei at Lin's wine house. Liu Xiumei was distracted and kept thinking about Li Wei's affairs, while Daiyu didn't say anything. Not long after, Li Wei met with Yin Zhen, but it's unknown what they discussed. When he came out again, Li Wei had already been taken in by Yin Zhen as a personal servant and was no longer an ordinary Han person. Li Wei's confident and slow demeanor made Liu Xiumei let out a sigh of relief. Daiyu was not surprised at this outcome and calmly left with her maid.

  Just as he walked out of Lin's tavern, he heard a clear and cold voice behind him, "Your Highness!"
