Chapter 494 Status Gap
However, the skull did not intend to tell Guan Bi that Shen Xu was right in front of him. In his opinion, Guan Bi already had enough of Bai Lu as a bond, and there was no need for another lover to disturb her peace of mind.
That would not be good for her entire path.
Since Shen Xu also wants to leave Guanbi, he has no reason not to grant his wish.
Once women start talking, they can have endless things to discuss.
Bai Lu listened with great excitement as Ji Ling Shuang described the different scenes of Baihua City throughout the four seasons, as well as the must-visit places and must-eat delicacies in Baihua City now, making her wish she could get off the ship right now to see them.
Guan Bi listened to Ji Ling Shuang's story with great curiosity. After all, this was where her mother had lived since childhood, and she wanted to see the places her mother had been.
Shen Xu was rather bored, only thinking about getting there as soon as possible and then getting the 900,000 Nourishing Yuan Pills from Ji Ling Shuang.
When he saw Li Linghui walking straight towards him, his heart tightened.
He had given his identity jade token to Li Linghui, and he didn't believe that Li Linghui hadn't checked the information inside. If Bai Lu asked about it, he might be exposed.
He never intended to completely hide his identity in Hundred Flowers City, otherwise he wouldn't have left so many clues, but that was when Bai Lu and Guan Bi were not around.
But now that the two of them have come to him, he must find a way to continue hiding his identity.
"Linghui, I don't want to cause you any trouble." Shen Xu stopped Li Linghui from approaching.
The three women couldn't help but look at the two men upon seeing this scene.
Li Linghui smiled and shook her head. "I didn't come here to see you. Miss Ji is very famous in Baihua City, and I would like to get to know her."
"Could it be the 'Fairy of Qinxiang' from the Moonlit Pavilion?" Ji Ling Shuang asked with some surprise.
"It's just an empty title! Besides, I'm no longer at Lan Yue Fang," Li Linghui replied humbly.
Shen Xu was startled when he heard the name, and then looked at Li Linghui in disbelief.
"I never expected Ling Shuang to be so lucky today. Not only did she meet two distinguished guests, but she also got to meet Sister Li."
Ji Ling Shuang immediately walked up to Li Ling Hui and pulled her to Bai Lu and Guan Bi's side.
"Let me introduce you two sisters. Sister Li is the most skilled musician in the entire Hundred Flowers City. The music she plays can attract hundreds of birds to carry flowers and dance, making it a truly spectacular sight in Hundred Flowers City," Ji Ling Shuang introduced to the two with a smile.
"Is there really such beautiful music in the world?" Bai Lu looked at Li Linghui.
"Actually, it was just a coincidence," Li Linghui explained with a smile.
"I wonder if Miss Li knows someone named Shen Xu? He should be in Hundred Flowers City," Guan Bi asked.
Upon hearing Guan Bi's words, Shen Xu's heart immediately jumped.
"He probably looks like this." Bai Lu immediately used illusion magic to show Shen Xu's appearance.
“I’m sorry, I don’t think I’ve ever seen this person before.” Li Linghui gently shook her head.
Upon hearing Li Linghui's answer, both of them could not hide their disappointment.
Shen Xu felt relieved. Although he didn't know what Li Linghui was thinking, at least he had gotten through this hurdle.
"If I may ask, what is the relationship between this man named Shen Xu and you two? You seem quite worried about him."
"What kind of relationship?" Li Linghui's question made both of them fall silent.
"We're friends," Guan Bi replied.
"They're not just ordinary friends, are they?" Ji Ling Shuang said with a smile.
"You've asked a lot of questions." Guan Bi looked at Ji Ling Shuang coldly.
"I'm sorry, I was presumptuous!" Ji Ling Shuang's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately apologized to the two women. She knew she had asked a question she shouldn't have.
Seeing this, Shen Xu couldn't help but sigh that no matter how high Ji Ling Shuang's status was in Baihua City, she was not from the same world as Guan Bi and Bai Lu.
"I know quite a few owners of small pleasure boats. I can ask them to help you two find him if he really is in Hundred Flowers City," Li Linghui said, trying to help Ji Ling Shuang out of the predicament.
"I can too," Ji Ling Shuang hurriedly promised.
"No, we were just asking. You don't need to take it too seriously."
Bai Lu also intended to let the matter drop. She could tell that Ji Ling Shuang didn't have much malice; she just hadn't figured out her place.
"I wonder which pleasure boat Miss Li belongs to? I'd like to hear the music that can attract a hundred birds," Guan Bi asked.
"That would be a great honor for Linghui. I will be performing at Lanyuefang during the selection process."
"However, I run a small pleasure boat downstream called 'Listening to the Waves Pavilion.' If you two are interested, you can find me there. I will certainly treat you with the utmost sincerity," Li Linghui said with a smile.
"So it turns out you can bring in outside help for the selection process?" Bai Lu murmured.
"I was once a servant of Lan Yue Fang, but I left Lan Yue Fang for some reason. However, all my skills were learned at Lan Yue Fang, so I am not considered an outsider."
At this moment, a young man dressed in a jade-green brocade robe and with a long sword at his waist slowly approached the group.
"It seems this year's Hundred Flowers Festival is quite interesting, even attracting Miss Bai."
The young man was tall and upright, with an extraordinary temperament. His sword-like eyebrows slanted upwards, and his eyes sparkled like stars. A wisp of hair falling across his forehead added a touch of unruly charm to his appearance.
"Song Han?" Bai Lu asked uncertainly after seeing the young man.
"How come you don't even recognize your old friends after all these years?" Song Han said with a smile.
"Just a tagalong!" Bai Lu scoffed.
Song Han's expression stiffened for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Let's not bring up old grievances anymore. I heard that Tianhe has dealt with Xuan Ting. That's truly something to celebrate. I imagine the Sword Master will be very pleased."
"But you probably wouldn't be interested in this kind of event, so why did you choose to come to Hundred Flowers City this time?"
"This is none of your business. I'm warning you, don't even think about harassing me again, or I'll break your legs!"
"I've already told you not to bring up the past. It was just the Venerable One's wishful thinking back then, and I have a fiancée now," Song Han said helplessly.
"You have a fiancée? Who is she?" Bai Lu asked with a curious look.
"Far away, yet so close."
"Do you really think I wouldn't dare hit you?" Bai Lu's face instantly turned cold.
"Bai Lu, you're too narcissistic. To tell you the truth, I don't even look at you right now!"
Moreover, with your current strength, you're probably no match for me.
"Guanbi, beat him up!" Bai Lu's gaze towards Song Han was as cold as frost.
"Miss, don't act rashly," Guan Bi reminded her.
"Even Guanbi has surpassed you. Bai Lu, have you been wasting your life all these years?" Song Han mocked mercilessly.
"Young Master Song, please apologize to Miss!" Guan Bi said coldly.
Feeling the intense pressure emanating from Guan Bi, and seeing those vertical pupils that had turned from purple to gold, Song Han's heart stirred. "As expected, in the end, it was the Ling family who subdued Xuan Ting."
Moreover, it seems that Guanbi's maternal clan is located in Hundred Flowers City, and the incident back then caused quite a stir.
"Alright, alright! I apologize for my previous rudeness and to Bai Lu." Song Han said somewhat helplessly.
"I do not accept your apology. Although I can't beat you right now, it's very easy for me to cause you trouble!"
"If you make me uncomfortable, you won't have a comfortable life either!" Bai Lu's voice was full of coldness.
"This is Hundred Flowers City, not the Heavenly River Sword Sect. You cannot act so presumptuously here!" Song Han said coldly.
"Is that so? I have a pretty good relationship with Lady Aoki. I wonder if she has the right to let me act so presumptuously here!" Bai Lu sneered.
“You…” Song Han was speechless for a moment.
Meanwhile, those eavesdropping nearby quickly moved away from the group, realizing that these individuals were far too powerful for them to afford to offend.
