3160 The Night Scene
When he noticed the figure inside, he smiled and went up to knock on the door.
“Come in.”
He pushed the door open and walked in after getting the reply from inside the room. His gaze swept over several people before settling on Feng Jiu and Xuanyuan Mo Ze.
“What a coincidence! I wasn’t expecting to meet you here.” He smiled as he walked over. He looked at Feng Jiu, and said, “Since I can see you here, may I assume that you have obtained the Millennium Wuling Tendon?”
Feng Jiu raised her eyebrows when she saw who had arrived and said, “Yet, quite a coincidence. Is Young Master Tan here for dinner too?”
“I have a meeting with several friends here. I caught a glimpse of Miss Feng here when the waiter closed the door just now, so I came in to say hello and ask for a cup of water or wine.” He looked away from Feng Jiu and fixed his gaze on Xuanyuan Mo Ze, smiling and nodding at him.
Xuanyuan Mo Ze cast a glance at him for an instant before moving on. “Please,” he said as he poured the wine into a cup. Feng Jiu told him that she had learned about the Millennium Wuling Tendon from this man.
He understood how this man looked at Feng Jiu as a man, but so what? His woman is so outstanding that it was natural for a man to like and appreciate her.
Tan Haotian’s eyes flickered as he noticed Xuanyuan Mo Ze’s action. He smiled and raised the cup towards them. “I, surnamed Tan, give a toast to the two of you.”
Feng Jiu and Xuanyuan Mo Ze both raised their cups, made a slight gesture and drank the wine.
After a cup of wine, Tan Haotian put down his cup and said with a smile, “I, surnamed Tan, won’t disturb you anymore. Farewell.” He left in the same carefree manner he came in.
The door to the room closed again. Xuanyuan Mo Ze looked away, picking up chopsticks and getting some dishes for her. “Try these.” He put more food in her bowl as soon as he said this.
“You eat, too.” Feng Jiu smiled with her eyes narrowed and put some dishes for him.
While they ate, they talked and looked out at the night scene. Leng Hua and the others raised their glasses and started drinking. After dinner, Qin Xin sat down and brought out the guzheng to play for everyone.
The melodious sound of the guzheng came from her fingers and echoed throughout the restaurant. Even people on the street downstairs heard the sound of the guzheng, but they didn’t know where it came from, let alone who was playing it.
They were ready to leave after checking out as the night grew darker, and there was no one on the street at the time. However, as they rode slowly to the manor in the spirit deer carriage, Feng Jiu, who opened the curtain to let in some fresh air, noticed a few black figures sweeping past while carrying something in the night.
She raised her brows, cast a glance in that direction, and said, “Shadow One, go take a look.”
“Yes.” Shadow One that had been hiding replied, flashed away, and then followed those people quietly.
Xuanyuan Mo Ze, who was leaning inside the spirit beast carriage, heard her order to Shadow One and then said, “Since it’s already late at night, how about I accompany you to look around?” It was fine to go right back after eating. Since she’s curious about those people, he might as well go with her to look.
Feng Jiu chuckled. “Alright!” She exited the spirit beast carriage and then told Leng Shuang and Leng Hua, “You all go back first. Send Hao’er home to rest. We will be back a little later. Don’t look for us.”
