Starting from Tianlong, Wudu Tianxia

Chapter 130 A Trivial Matter

Gao Yuan was also carefully observing the newcomer.

Among the maids stood a woman dressed in yellow silk, with a curvaceous figure and full breasts.

Aside from lacking some of the youthful vibrancy of a young girl, it bears a striking resemblance to the jade statues in the Wuliang Mountain cave in Dali.

With such a face, she could only be Li Qingluo, the daughter of his cheap senior brother, Wuyazi.

He couldn't help but feel resentful in his heart.

Grandma was three years older than Wuyazi, who was probably eighty-four years old at the time.

Going back thirty years, that means Wu Yazi must have been at least fifty years old when he had Lady Wang with Li Qiushui.

Was it a case of having a daughter late in life?

I admire you!

When Li Qingluo first saw the young man, she thought to herself, "What a dashing and handsome young man!"

However, seeing that his gaze was fixed on her, she immediately felt extremely rude.

Her eyes hardened, her face showed barely concealed anger, and her tone turned colder: "Did you send the message through Youcao, brat?"

If she hadn't been preoccupied with the matter in the letter, she would have had the young man arrested long ago for his rude and presumptuous behavior.

Gao Yuan scrutinized Li Qingluo for a moment, then smiled slightly: "My name is Gao Yuan. I have a friend who is an old acquaintance of yours. He happened to learn that I am coming to Jiangnan and asked me to write a letter to yours. That is why I have come to pay my respects."

Upon hearing news of her lover, Lady Wang was thrown into turmoil, and asked urgently, "Where is the letter?"

"Does Madam wish to open and read the letters here?"

The woman, startled by his strange laughter, paused for a moment before her attitude softened considerably: "My apologies, Xiao Shi. Immediately instruct the kitchen to prepare a banquet at 'Yun Jin Lou' to entertain Young Master Gao."

There are too many maids and old women around here, and it's definitely not the right time to open the letter and ask questions.

"Yes, madam," Xiao Shi replied and left.

"Young Master Gao, please!"

"I apologize for disturbing you, Your Majesty, I hope you will not take offense."

The young man's few words completely changed the lady's attitude, making her seem nothing like her previous cold and sarcastic remarks.

Gao Yuan watched Li Qingluo lead the way, a smirk playing on his lips. He turned and walked away with his hands behind his back, Xiao Abi following closely behind him.

Lady Wang dismissed all the servants, leaving only Youcao as a side attendant.

After passing through flower groves, stone bridges, and paths, we arrived at a small building with three dark green seal characters that read "Yun Jin Lou".

The plants downstairs are all camellias.

During their casual conversation on the road, Madam Wang learned the reason why Abi had left the Murong family.

The young man before her was the senior disciple the little girl had mentioned.

Although he had doubts, seeing that the boy did not speak, he did not ask any more questions.

Anyway, they're not from our own Mantuo Manor, so who cares about the Murong family's mess?

The upstairs was lavishly furnished, with a central painting depicting a peacock spreading its tail feathers, and a wooden couplet on either side that read: "The lacquer leaves are dense with clouds, and the camellias are as beautiful as snow."

Li Qingluo harbored ulterior motives, only saying that Yan was distressed and wanted to ask the little maid to comfort her.

Abi knew that the two had something to talk about, and with her master's approval, she pulled Youcao away affectionately towards the flower forest.

Before long, the banquet was set out. Li Qingluo invited Gao Yuan to take the seat of honor, while she herself sat below him to keep him company.

The dishes at Mantuo Villa are also different from those at Canhe Villa.

Murong Fu's mother had passed away, so he was forbidden from drinking alcohol and eating meat. Therefore, the dishes at Canhe Manor were known for their light and elegant flavors.

The banquets at Mantuo Villa, however, emphasize luxury and rareness, with items such as bear paws and shark fins, all of which are extremely expensive.

After several rounds of drinks, Li Qingluo couldn't help but ask, "May I ask, young master, what is the name of the person who entrusted you with this message?"

The young man smiled gently, and said slowly and deliberately, "It is indeed Dali... the Prince of Zhennan..."

'

"Duan...Zheng...Chun!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qingluo's eyes first lit up with a hint of joy, then her face showed resentment. After a long while, she gritted her teeth and squeezed out the words: "What a Prince of Zhennan! What an old friend! Why doesn't he dare to come in person?" As soon as she finished speaking, the jade cup slammed heavily on the table, the wine dripping.

Not wanting the boy to notice anything amiss or realize his lapse in composure, Li Qingluo suppressed her anger and resumed her usual demeanor.

"A graceful lady, her skirt flowing elegantly, what a pity, what a pity."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingluo's face darkened. Just as she was about to speak, the young man handed her a letter.

"Madam, please don't be alarmed. Brother Duan and I are close friends despite our age difference. He has his own reasons."

"With a jealous wife at home holding me back, I had no choice but to dictate what I was doing and ask me to write it down. That's why I know the whole story."

Li Qingluo cursed Duan Zhengchun inwardly, then turned around and carefully read the letter.

"A cup of sorrow, years of separation, wrong, wrong, wrong... The vows remain, but letters cannot be sent, no, no, no!"

The opening of just one love poem made her feel a lump in her throat and a slight soreness in her nose.

Reading carefully, the letter from "Duan Zhengchun" pours out his bitterness, frankly stating that he had no choice but to abandon her back then, and he is now filled with regret.

Upon learning by chance that she was in Jiangnan, he missed her day and night even more.

He even swore that as soon as he was freed from the shackles of the royal family, he would come to Mantuo Manor to find her and stay with her for the rest of his life.

Although the letter was not written by Duan Lang himself, its contents even included Duan Zhengchun's vow to go to Wuliang Mountain in Dali with Li Qingluo to find the cave where he lived with his mother when he was a child.

This was a private matter between the two when they were deeply in love.

If Duan Lang hadn't said it himself, no one else would have known. Li Qingluo immediately believed the boy's words without a doubt.

The ending is filled with unheard-of, extremely explicit love confessions, making my heart pound wildly, and years of resentment instantly transform into strands of tenderness.

Thinking of the words spoken here, which were all Duan Lang's ramblings, the young man picked up his pen and wrote them down, his face immediately turning slightly red.

Turning back, the woman dared not meet the young man's gaze again: "It has been hard for you, young master, to travel so far to bring this message!"

"Brother Duan and I are as close as brothers. Madam, you flatter me. I have an important matter to ask of you before I visit your estate."

"Please speak, young master!"

Li Qingluo was delighted and readily agreed.

"I have long admired the name of the Langhuan Jade Cave of Mantuo Villa. I would like to ask Madam to allow me to enter the cave to view the books."

Li Qingluo's expression changed drastically.

"How did you learn about the Jade Cave of Langhuan, young master?"

"It was Young Master Murong who told me. To be honest, I am also very close to Brother Murong. With his permission, I have been observing the Huan Shi Water Pavilion for several days."

"If you do not believe me, Madam, you may send someone to Canhe Village to inquire."

It wasn't that Gao Yuan was unwilling to use the name of Xiaoyao.

However, Li Qingluo was still young when she left Wuliang Mountain, and Li Qiushui did not tell her about her background. Telling her would be like talking to a brick wall, and would only arouse more suspicion.

As for the Wuliang Mountain Free and Easy Martial Arts of Dali, she always regarded it as a family heirloom.

"this......"

Li Qingluo was in a state of utter confusion. If she were an ordinary person, she would have simply made up an excuse to get rid of him.

But the boy and Duan Lang had a deep friendship, otherwise he wouldn't have told such a private matter.

Upon learning that Duan Lang was coming to rekindle their romance, she naturally didn't want Duan Zhengchun to lose face in front of his friends.

Seeing that she was lost in thought, Gao Yuan spread his five fingers together and suddenly pulled them slightly into his palm, creating a sudden suction force.

Suddenly, the wine pot on the opposite side of the table flew through the air toward his palm and was caught in an instant.

Retrieve items remotely!

Li Qingluo was startled.

The young man poured wine from the pot, the water flowing gently into the cup. He took a small sip and said, "If it's difficult for you, Madam, then so be it."

"It's just a pity for Brother Duan. Although he is the Prince of Zhennan, he is not free and is trapped in Dali by a Baiyi woman."

Alas! ...From now on, we're strangers.

"Although my martial arts skills are crude, I am still indignant and wished to help Brother Duan get rid of the Baiyi woman and help him achieve his wish."

'

That's all I have to say; Li Qingluo understood perfectly.

If we can get the young man's help and snatch Duan Lang back, what is the Langhuan Jade Cave?

Even if... even if it's something else... she would agree.

Moreover, the superior martial arts techniques in the Jade Cave all require deciphering the incantations to be understood.

She herself only had a vague understanding of many of the formulas, and even if a young man read them, he might not be able to fully comprehend them.

Without further hesitation, his eyes were filled with eagerness and anticipation: "Since you are a friend of Young Master Duan, what's wrong with you wishing to enter the Jade Cave to read some martial arts manuals!"

Seeing that Li Qingluo had fallen for his trick, the young man stood up and said, "Alright, there's no time like the present. Why don't we go now? I'll finish reading it as soon as possible and put my mind at ease."

"Madam may also take this opportunity to write a reply, which I can then take back to Brother Duan to ease our longing."

"Very well, please, young master!"

Upon learning of Duan Zhengchun's feelings, Li Qingluo was dazed, her mind filled with the hope of being with him, and she was completely disoriented.
