Quick Transmigration: Irresistible Beauty

The guests soon lost their interest and departed one after another, and the small teahouse quickly became deserted.

Yue Ran raised her hand and covered the cup with the tea lid. Long Yuan went to take her favorite tangy pineapple cakes, put them on a small plate, and brought them to the table for her to enjoy them.

The young man in white, Li Chang Feng, who followed after the old man, had long since taken a wooden chair to sit behind the old man. At this moment, he had his eyes closed and his head tilted a little to the back, appearing to be sound asleep.

"I... lost," the old man said, his expression shifting from a playful smile to one of relief and comfort as he admitted his defeat to Yue Ran with a serious look and tone.

"It was a good game," Yue Ran remarked.

Yue Ran did not put on airs. A smile spread across her lips as she pushed the chair away and got to her feet, stretching halfway as if she were a little worn out from sitting down for a long time.

"Young lady, tell me what you want," the old man said. "I will try my best to fulfill my bet since I have lost the game."

The old man stroked his beard as he talked to Yue Ran, yet he suddenly caught sight of his apprentice sleeping soundly next to him out of the corner of his eye.

He could only inwardly let out a sigh that this little girl was young, but her mind was more stable than his, an elderly man who could be considered half buried in the ground!

But just why is his apprentice much less intelligent (so stupid) in comparison?!

"Get up, you lazy kid," the old man yelled as he slapped the shoulder of his sleeping apprentice. "Why are you even sleeping in the first place?"

"Um, hm, what?" Li Chang Feng was startled and jumped up from the chair but received a hit to his aching back from the chair. "Ow… Are you finally done with the chess game, old man?"

"May I have a word?" Yue Ran asked with a smile.

"Of course," the old man answered.

The elderly man asked Li Chang Feng to book a private room. Yue Ran knew that her wanted notice would reach Myriad Pearl City sooner or later, so she refrained from allowing Long Yuan to set up defenses around them, or it may attract a little too much attention, which she did not need at the moment.

"Then I will get straight to the point," Yue Ran said. "I want to find the Dark Sky Pavilion to inquire about some news."

The old man was stunned for a moment when he heard the latter statement. Then he realized that the girl most likely did not know his true identity and simply assumed that he must have an extraordinary background based on his attire and demeanor.

"Young lady, although this old man is not very good-looking and is old with all that white hair and long beard, this old man is actually an assistant to the current crown prince of the imperial city, the guardian of the country, and also the head of the Huo Mansion," Li Chang Feng said.

"All right, all right, you kid," the old man said to his apprentice. "You might as well announce my identity to the rest of the world!" He narrowed his eyes suspiciously. "And you, you foolish kid, are you trying to insult me or praise me?!"

The white-haired old man fiercely slapped the head of Li Chang Feng and then looked back at Yue Ran with a smile.

"What this child said is right," the old man said. "If you want to find out any news and information, you can just ask me directly instead of finding it from other sources like the Dark Sky Pavilion."

"I do not want to trouble you too much about this," Yue Ran said. "It is still better to leave this matter to the Dark Sky Pavilion."

The expression and attitude on Yue Ran's face did not change at all even after hearing Li Chang Feng's words, which inevitably left the old man by surprise.

The old man could not help but wonder what kind of things or information could only be handed over to the Dark Sky Pavilion but not him. Those men from the Dark Sky Pavilion are so sly and mysterious, so how can they be as good or better than him?

However, since he had already agreed to this young lady's request in the first place, he would not renege on it. He took an inked brush and wrote down a string of words on paper before handing it over to Yue Ran.

"Three days later, go to the Lake of Heaven and find Ling Ling on the Violet Dawn Boat and give this to her," the old man said. "Do not worry, young lady; this is just a way to get in touch with them." He smiled before adding, "The Dark Sky Pavilion will not leak any news that you want to find out to others. After those men of the Dark Sky Pavilion finish their task, they will always take the memory-eliminating drug to reassure their clients that their information will not be disclosed to the outside world. This memory-eliminating drug is a special drug created by the master of the Dark Sky Pavilion. After consuming it, the corresponding memory of these subordinates can be erased cleanly."

"This is interesting," Yue Ran remarked with a smile. "Then I would like to thank you first."

Yue Ran got up and gave the elderly man a slight bow as a sign of respect.

"This is just a small matter," the old man answered. "Anyway, why do you not join us for dinner before you go?"

When he saw Yue Ran shake her head, seemingly not intending to stay around any longer, he spoke again.
