SFS Chapter 297 Admiring Miss 3
Chapter 297 Admiring Miss 3
Yun Qingqing and her group successfully entered Tianmu City. Under Lin Feng's guidance, the convoy made several turns and finally stopped in front of an inn called "Ping An Inn".
Yun Chengxiao got off the carriage and negotiated with the innkeeper. They needed peace and quiet and did not like to be disturbed. They wanted to book the entire backyard of the inn.
Seeing his generosity, the innkeeper immediately became attentive and ordered the staff to clean the backyard and arrange rooms.
The backyard is a separate courtyard with its own entrance, separated from the front hall of the inn.
After the group settled in, Yun Qingqing asked the waiter to bring the food to the backyard.
After a simple meal, everyone went back to their rooms to bathe and rest.
In Yun Qingqing's room, she, Xu Ji, and Gu Ye sat around the table.
Yun Qingqing said, "The third young lady that Lin Feng mentioned has special abilities, and she is very likely from the apocalypse."
Xu Ji continued, "That woman with superpowers must have come from the apocalypse. It seems that quite a few people have crossed over from that space-time rift."
Gu Ye said, "That woman is no good. She acts lawlessly because she has some ability. I have to go and see which idiot is causing trouble here."
Yun Qingqing said, "I'll go with you."
Xu Ji also said, "I'll go too."
After changing into men's clothing, Yun Qingqing went to the street with Gu Ye and Xu Ji.
According to Lin Feng, any man with outstanding looks who appeared on the street would be taken to the Third Miss's mansion by the Third Miss's men, and they would then swagger around on the street.
Most of the men on the street were plain-looking, or even somewhat rough-looking; it was rare to see a few with regular features.
The three of them were exceptionally good-looking, a striking sight on the street, and frequently attracted strange looks from passersby.
An old man looked at the three of them and couldn't help but walk up to them and remind them, "Young masters, run! With your outstanding looks, it's not safe for you to walk on the street. If you are spotted by the Third Miss's men, they will capture you and hand you over to her."
As he spoke, the old man nervously looked around, afraid that the Third Miss's people had their eyes on them: "Stop wandering around, quickly find an inn to hide in, or leave the city immediately, or it will be too late."
The third young lady of the City Lord's Mansion in Tianmu City has a thing for handsome young men like you. Her men spend all day loitering the streets, and if they see someone they like, they try to get him and give him to her as a plaything.
Gu Ye said, "Thank you for the reminder, old man, but we just want to be noticed by the Third Miss so we can go to her residence to see her."
Upon hearing this, the old man's face changed drastically: "Are you all crazy? The Third Miss is ruthless. If you fall into her hands, you'll be crippled if not killed. And yet you still want to go to her on your own initiative."
"Gentlemen, listen to my advice, don't do anything foolish. That Third Miss is not human, she's a demon that comes to claim your lives. You are all so young, don't be so foolish as to go and throw your lives away."
Xu Ji said, "Thank you for reminding us, sir. We understand."
Seeing that the three of them remained unmoved, their faces calm and indifferent, as if they hadn't taken his words to heart, the old man decided not to meddle any further.
He hurriedly left, fearing that they would be targeted by the Third Miss and suffer the same fate as her.
Yun Qingqing and the other two continued walking along the street as if nothing had happened.
They hadn't gone far when four men dressed as bodyguards in dark blue outfits and with long swords at their waists blocked their way.
The leader was a square-faced man with an arrogant look in his eyes. He looked Yun Qingqing and the other two up and down, a satisfied expression on his face.
The square-faced man spoke arrogantly: "My third young lady has taken a liking to you. You will come with us to the city lord's mansion."
Upon hearing this, Gu Ye grinned and readily nodded, "Sure, lead the way."
This happy and eager reaction stunned the square-faced man. In the past, when men heard him say this, they would either be terrified and beg for mercy, or run away in panic, or fight back. Why did this kid agree so readily and even seem so happy?
Something's not right, something's very wrong. Gu Ye narrowed his eyes and sized up Gu Ye. "Kid, what tricks are you trying to pull? I'm warning you, if you dare to play any tricks, you'll be in big trouble. Our Third Miss is someone you can't afford to mess with."
Gu Ye laughed and said, "Brother Guard, you've misunderstood me. How could I dare to play any tricks? I just admired the Third Miss because of her reputation. It's my good fortune to be noticed by her today. I'm overjoyed. Why would I play any tricks? Take me to see the Third Miss. I can't wait to see her."
The square-faced man frowned even more upon hearing these words. Admiring the Third Miss? Eager to see the Third Miss? This was the first time he had ever heard a man say such a thing. He squinted at Gu Ye.
Is he really just a fool who doesn't know his own mortality and dreams of climbing the social ladder? Or does this kid have ulterior motives and want to get close to the Third Miss? Whatever, the Third Miss is very capable. If this kid dares to play tricks, he'd rather die without a burial place. He snorted coldly: "That's for the best. Come on, follow me to the Third Miss's residence."
"Alright!" Gu Ye replied with a smile, then called to Yun Qingqing and Xu Ji, "Let's go, let's catch up with the guard."
His gleeful, almost regal demeanor, as if he were about to receive a reward, contrasted sharply with the subtle expressions of fear, pity, or schadenfreude on the faces of the passersby.
The onlookers, watching Yun Qingqing and her two companions leave happily with the guards without any resistance, couldn't help but exchange bewildered glances and whisper among themselves:
"Are these three people idiots?"
"He seems quite clever, so why would he rush to his death..."
"Sigh, another one who doesn't know what's good for them, thinking it's something great."
"Poor thing, once they go into that place, they probably won't come out again..."
"Keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear you."
Everyone shook their heads and sighed, looking at Yun Qingqing and the other two with pity and sympathy in their eyes.
In their eyes, these three were hopelessly stupid, having willingly jumped into the fire.
The square-faced man led Yun Qingqing and the other two to a magnificent vermilion gate in front of which stood two ferocious stone beasts and a plaque bearing the inscription "Third Miss's Residence" above the door.
The square-faced man turned around and said coldly to Gu Ye and the other two, "Once you go in, behave yourselves, or you'll regret it."
Gu Ye smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, we're very disciplined."
The square-faced man stopped talking, led the three to the door, showed a token to the guard, who opened the door and let them in.
