Quick Transmigration: Irresistible Beauty

Long Yuan and Hai Bing Tu got up one after another to shift their positions to two different tables closer to the stairs just in case Yue Ran was to encounter any trouble.

While doing such a preparation, Yue Ran also followed the waiter up the stairs without delay, not showing something amiss about her behavior.

Unexpectedly, the Diamond Dreams Casino was quite large compared to how it looked outside and on the ground floor. After a long, winding journey, they finally arrived at an elegant private room. The waiter led Yue Ran to the door and left in a hurry. Meanwhile, Yue Ran looked around calmly in position.

The room in front of her appeared to be a simple, inconspicuous, small space, but she could sense that there were a lot of people on standby in the room opposite the one she had to enter, which was facing her back, and even many others on the roof.

Yue Ran raised her lips with interest and pushed the door open. Stepping in, her eyes instantly caught sight of a black-haired man in a purple-red robe standing with his back to her in the private room.

The young man spun around when he heard the noise of the door swinging open, revealing his appearance. The young man had an exquisite silver mask on his face in the shape of a butterfly that covered the upper half of his face except his eyes. Only his lips and chin were exposed, which made him look delicate and a little more charming.

"What are you looking for me for?" Yue Ran spoke up first, getting right to the point.

"I am simply curious and wanted to know who is the one inquiring about the Exalted Sea Sect," the young man responded with a curl of his lips.

Yue Ran let out a faint frown when she heard those words. Although she did not place her entire trust in the Dark Sky Pavilion in the first place, the information leak about her was still spread out too quickly! Otherwise, how else could this stranger related to the Diamond Dreams Casino be aware of her?!

"Oh, by the way, I have forgotten to introduce myself," the young man said in a calm and unhurried manner. "This lo…" He stopped himself from speaking further by letting out a light cough before continuing, "I am Shu Ye, the leader of Dark Sky Pavilion." He uttered this sentence with a smile in his eyes. "Nice to meet you, beautiful lady."

This time, Yue Ran was caught a little off guard, not only because the young man saw through her disguise but also because of his special identity—one that she did not expect.

The young man standing across from her is, as a matter of fact, the leader of the Dark Sky Pavilion? This was an unexpected discovery.

"I see," Yue Ran said, lowering her long lashes to conceal the emotion in her eyes. "Then for what reason does the leader of the Dark Sky Pavilion have to find me?"

Yue Ran did not feel the slightest bit of embarrassment of being exposed or panicked after the young man saw through her disguise and pointed out her real gender. She merely raised her brows and closed the door behind her in a casual manner, as though what was happening right now was a normal thing.

Shu Ye did not answer the young woman immediately. He leaned half of his body against the window sill while staring straight at Yue Ran.

Yue Ran did not feel discomfited by that intense stare at all. She gazed back and studied the young man's features carefully for the first time. It was then that she found out that the young man had flawless skin like white porcelain, a clear jawline, a slender and lean form, and a relaxed and frivolous disposition. He looked as though he was a man who devotes himself to a life of leisure and pleasures of the world, especially in the company of women, but without responsibility or attachments.

These are the characteristics of a player.

Even so, the young man's cultivation was unfathomable, even for Yue Ran. Then again, how could it be possible for the leader of the Dark Sky Pavilion to be an ordinary person in the first place?

"I am simply curious about your identity, beautiful lady," Shu Ye said. "After all, I have never seen a woman with an appearance such as yours in the Central Plains. Everyone else pales in comparison to your incredible beauty."

The tone the young man used when speaking was frivolous yet sophisticated and charming, just like that of a hedonist.

"I am curious about what connection there is between you, the leader of the Dark Sky Pavilion, and the Exalted Sea Sect," Yue Ran said, unfazed by the behavior the young man displayed.

Instead of playing along, Yue Ran plainly threw a serious subject to the unserious leader of the Dark Sky Pavilion.

"Well, I do not know whether the beautiful young lady is an enemy or a friend, you see," Shu Ye said. "Can you, beautiful young lady, let me know which one you are?"

Is she a friend or a foe? Will she stand in his way or steer clear of it?

Shu Ye appeared to be smiling as his eyes were curved into crescents, locking his gaze with her. However, the smile that he gave Yue Ran did not reach his eyes. She could not feel his smile.

Yue Ran could only perceive the hint of coercion in his words that demanded her to give him a straight answer, and that answer would determine her fate.

"Master, they have made their move."

Long Yuan's voice transmission abruptly interrupted Yue Ran from giving her answer, pulling her out of her surface thoughts. Registering his words, she could not help but let out a frown.

The journey from the southwest to the Central Plains was long and harsh.
