Chapter 32: The creepy prestigious talisman
A sneaky eye was peeking through the crack of the window, shadowing the figure of a youth entering the brothel.
"No... no... why is he coming? Don't come... don't come.... get the fuck out....shit..."
A beauty in purple was mumbling these things to himself, commanding the youth furiously as though he could even hear him in the first place. What should he do? Couldn't he even take the breeze leisurely for a moment? Did he have to stay alert every single minute?
Biting the empty porcelain cup in nervousness, Wang Li Jie tried to be a little more optimistic. After all, who could tell? Maybe that junior earlier came in not to catch them but to simply enjoy himself right here. Nodding to himself like crazy, Wang Li Jie glanced over at his drunk buddies, pondering over whether or not he should remind them to stay vigilant.
Prince Junjie was there, not done yet cuddling with his own sword. And at the table, there were prince Rong and Huang Guiren who were having a heart-to-heart chat about love affairs with each other. And Li Qing? Wang Li Jie was worried about that buddy the most. Right now, if the junior from before were to really come up to their floor and make an effort to chase them, how was he even going to make an escape?
He was literally half dead by now because- just look at his drool. Li Qing was sleeping like a dead log at his own seat, leaning against Ming Rong like his friend was some comfy human pillow.
He had not sensed anything abnormal yet at the moment. But whatever...just in case, it would be in their best interest to inform his buddies about that junior chaser.
Sparing an innocent thing from his teeth, Wang Li Jie let go of the poor cup before walking over towards the table. Putting both of his hands on the table and getting into a serious mode, the beauty spoke to his two buddies, putting on a frown.
"Guys, listen. Earlier, guess what I saw.....A junior who is wearing a black headband came into the brothel."
Beside himself, these two were the only ones here who still possesssed some clear mind. For a moment, Prince Rong and Huang Guiren had gone blank at this sudden information. Half of their attention was yet to leave their chat, so it took a while before their brain could process what Wang Li Jie had said.
Huang Guiren, who had at last comprehended his buddy's over concern, attempted to reassure the worrywart.
"Aiyaa... rest assure, Li Jie. We're already in a private room. It's impossible for him to see us, let alone recognizing our identities. "
"Yeah. It's utterly impossible for that guy to find out our presence unless you've seduced him by showing off your beauty at the window. "
Patting his shoulder, Prince Rong tried to calm his buddy. Little did he know what he had just said was really effective, that was, in an absolutely opposed way to his original motive, of course.
Instead of acting innocent or being anxious inwardly, the beauty Li Jie admitted everything very gladly.
"Hahaha.... then what if I say that is exactly the very thing I did. I bewitched him by sparing him a glance. Now tell me...do you think he's coming for me? "
The beauty Li Jie gave off an overly obvious impression that he was getting excited for the answer right now. The two buffled buddies even doubted if the nervous Wang Li Jie they witnessed earlier was merely an illusion. But then, they recalled this was how a nervous Wang Li Jie actually looked like. Prince Rong and Huang Guiren exchanged worried glances immediately.
"What the fuck! Li Jie..... don't tell me.... you..."
Huang Guiren didn't even have the chance to finish his sentence when a sudden knock came from the outside. The trio didn't have a very good feeling about it. They were expecting to hear the voice of a stranger or something suspicious when that familiar voice of the manager earlier came out, reassuring the three youths.
"Sirs and miss in here.., are our dishes really to your taste? Please tell me if there's anything these young lords need. "
The three heaved a sigh simultaneously at the manager's words. Goodness.... so it was just the man earlier. They had been worrying for nothing. But why did this man have to arrive at this exact time and scare the shit out of them?
Of course, they didn't care to confront that little junior mentioned by Wang Li Jie. Just look at the force of their crew. They could easily outnumber and subdue him with their eyes closed right now. There was only one big problem.And it was the two drunkard buddies of theirs over there. Prince Junjie and Li Qing...
What if one of them got stuck with that creepy prestigious talisman in the process of suppressing the chaser? If that actually happened, then it would be completely game over. It was that talisman which was their very weak point. The worst scenario - the luckiest one amongst them might even have the honour of getting transported to the peak right away.
"Never mind. We don't need anything. Just don't bother us. "
Prince Rong gave a casual response to the manager but the reply didn't came as a simple yes, young master or something alike as they had expected. Instead, it was.....
"Um..... of course, young lord. But there's someone who wants to see miss purple out there. It's a decent young man named Li Zian. He said miss was an old acquaintance of his. Should I let him in, young miss? "
What Li Zian?..... There was no acquaintance of his around here with that first name. But it indeed rang a bell to him. Wang Li Jie was racking his brain like crazy to recall the name from his memories when he managed to relate a certain something.
Wait.... surname Li..... Li Zian.... Li Qing. Wasn't he that younger brother of Li Qing? But why would he be the one the boy's looking for? Shouldn't it be his elder Brother Li Qing? Anyway, if it was his buddy's brother,...
"Li Zian...Isn't he a brother of Li Qing? Then should I just let him in?.... mmm... "
Wang Li Jie was this close to saying the three magical words "Let him in" when a calloused hand came covering his mouth.
"Let him in, my ass!..... The plan has changed. Let's flee out of here as soon as possible. Let's just flee. "
Finally, Wang Li Jie could remove Huang Guiren's hand off of his mouth. Breathing in a mouthful of air, the inquisitive youth demanded a reason with a suspicious "Why? " Huang Guiren who was just too patient to reply to him, gave an eerie scolding glance at the youth before saying...
"If I say let's run, then run. You don't want to end up with a bad ending, do you? Then don't question me anymore and just do as I say. Prince Rong, do you think you can carry Li Qing on your back? "
"Don't worry. Just leave him to me. "
Though he still didn't get the situation, Prince Rong didn't complain and nodded his head right away.
"Young miss?..... young masters?.... "
The manager was still out there, standing and waiting for their response. But the trio tacitly agreed to stay soundless and didn't reply.
Helping Prince Rong to give the dead log, Li Qing, a piggyback, Wang Li Jie asked, pointing at the drunk Prince Junjie at the corner.
"Guys, don't you think you've forgotten a certain someone? What about that prince? "
At his buddy's query, Huang Guiren just scratched his head in great vexation before urging everyone to hurry up yet again.
"Guys.... quick.... quick.... We've got no time. Ahhhh... yes..... what about that prince? We can't just drag him out of here with that heavy body of his. Try to think something.. think....think.... Quick.... guys.... just the fuck work your brains and think! "
