Butterfly Loves Flowers

In the suburbs, thick smoke billowed.

Amidst the ruins of houses and crumbling walls, the remains of the dead lay scattered everywhere. Blood spread across the ground like venomous snakes, their crimson tongues flicking, converging on the weeping little girl sitting in the center. Her clothes, though of fine material, were tattered and stained with blood, and her sobs were choked and hoarse, suggesting this had been going on for quite some time.

"Tsk! Too late!"

A clear voice rang out, startling her so much that she recoiled like a frightened bird, tripping and falling to the ground. A protruding stone grazed her back, causing her to scream and attracting the other person's attention.

His tall figure, back from the sun, cast a long shadow, blurring his face and intensifying the little girl's fear!

"No, no...no! Don't come any closer!"

she screamed hysterically, utterly terrified and unable to think clearly, grabbing handfuls of dirt and grime and hurling them at the boy before her.

Sand and stones rained down, but the boy merely flicked his wrist, making them vanish into thin air.

This was… sorcery!

The girl was terrified, unable to drop what she was holding.

The boy, seeing her stunned expression, spat lightly, “Is this ‘Qiyue Manor’?”

She nodded blankly, unable to speak—three hours ago it was indeed called “Qiyue Manor,” but now it was nothing more than ruins!

The boy glanced at her, then strode into the ruins. After witnessing the horrific scene, he returned, his bright eyes looking at her. He was about to speak when a shout from behind interrupted him.

“Young Master! You ran too fast! What if there’s danger?!”

A group of burly men on horseback charged forward, surrounding the boy and girl. Smoke billowed, the men were massive and powerful, their horses neighing, their presence overwhelming.

The girl retreated even further in fright, but the boy completely ignored her, shouting to the men behind him, "You were all too slow! And what happened? Look! This place has been wiped out by that demon! Where does this leave the reputation of 'Azure Frost Pavilion'?! The other three floors all participated in the operation to wipe out that guy, but only my team ended up like this. Tell me, whose fault is it?!"

The burly men were so humiliated by his words that they tumbled off their horses, begging for mercy.

The little girl was completely stunned. Although she was young, she understood from the boy's words that he was a friend, not an enemy. While she was still in a daze, she saw the boy stride forward, about to leave.

"Wait..."

Before she could finish speaking, the boy suddenly flicked his hand, and something flew over, landing on the ground in front of her with a clanging sound. Looking closely, it was a sharp sword, red tassel and black sheath—clearly a divine weapon.

"I'm telling you!" The boy's voice rang out, clear and resounding, "Do you want to starve to death in such humiliation, or choose to fight for your own survival?"

He turned his face to the side, the sunlight gilding his features, making him appear even more handsome and refined.

The girl hesitated, then finally reached out and grasped the sword, thus grasping her destiny.

Many years later, in this martial world, she and the four great masters of the four directions—east, west, south, north—were entangled in a web of grudges, love, and hate, carving out a clear path amidst the bloodshed—the Moonlit Azure Sword, the Butterfly Dance Silver Needle, the Water Moon Mirror Flower, and the Enchanting Night Shadow.

These four young masters would, in the distant future, turn the tide of the world… The story unfolds from here!

Chapter One: Flying Fate. Light Robe. Water Moon Mirror Flower

Her name was "Xu Danshan."

The characters for "wish" (许) and "light" (淡) are strange, yet they exude a scholarly air, just like her—gentle and understated, like jasmine blossoms blooming by the roadside, elegant and serene. Like the poem she chose years ago, "A swirl of clouds, a shuttle of jade, a light robe of thin silk, a gentle frown on her delicate brows," she possesses a unique and captivating charm.

Coincidentally, today she uses a purple-blue ribbon to tie up her long, black hair, adorned with a jade hairpin, making her face appear even more beautiful than a lotus blossom and her eyebrows as delicate as willow branches. Wearing a thin silk robe, her exquisite charm rivals that of any beauty adorned with gold and silver.

At this moment, she is slowly walking up the three steps of the "Moon-Viewing Pavilion," lifting her plain-colored skirt.

She walks very slowly, as if pondering each step for a long time, even considering where to place her feet, and whether the way she should land is graceful.

The reason was simple: firstly, it was her nature, and secondly, she had to be extra careful.

The person she was about to meet was Hua Feiyuan, one of the four most renowned martial arts masters in the world, known as "Water Moon Mirror Flower."

No one had ever seen Hua Feiyuan, though his fame was as resounding as her master's—"Moon Fiend Green Sword" Zhan Qinglian—but few had ever seen his face.

At every martial arts gathering, the other three masters would attend. Whether it was their ambitious young master, the unpredictable "Butterfly Dance Silver Needle" Xiao Dielou, or the taciturn "Enchanting Night Shadow" Mu Yesheng, they would all make an appearance out of respect for the leaders of Shaolin and Wudang. But this "Water Moon Mirror Flower," Hua Feiyuan, remained shrouded in mystery… No one knew what Hua Feiyuan looked like, nor did anyone know his martial arts skills. All they knew was that his "Floating Life Pavilion" was founded by his father, standing tall in the martial arts world, an object of worship for all. Back then, amidst turbulent times and sudden upheavals, "Floating Clouds" stood firm, demonstrating its inherent strength.

This was precisely what gave it the right to rival her own "Azure Frost Pavilion"!

She was always exceptionally intelligent, the most astute manager in "Azure Frost Pavilion," having weathered countless storms and cultivated a silver tongue and a knack for adapting to any situation, making her perfectly suited to dealing with those who were initially "enemies" but might soon become "friends"... And skillfully disguising her true personality behind this fresh and elegant facade was indeed her forte.

No one knew what she was thinking, and no one could possibly know what she was thinking. In fact, even when others guessed her thoughts, she had a way of forcefully twisting their perceptions to her liking.

She was a notorious fox spirit, notoriously difficult to deal with, and of course, notoriously deceptive... Therefore, she was sent to meet this legendary young master, and specifically came here.

"Moon Viewing" is located in the center of "Floating Life Pavilion," surrounded by blooming flowers, a small bridge, and flowing water, exuding a unique elegance. White walls and glazed tiles, hidden among red flowers and green trees, create a distinctive ambiance.

"Moon Viewing" is also the residence of this young master Hua, a seven-story building with flying eaves and jade pillars, exquisitely constructed.

"Miss, if you regret it, you can still go back now,"

the maid behind her mocked blatantly, finally bringing her back to her senses. Smiling slightly, realizing her lapse in attention, Xu Danshan didn't dwell on it. As long as she achieved her goal in front of the owner of "Floating Life Pavilion," that was enough.

Thinking this, the young master's instructions echoed in her mind. Estimating that the time was almost up, and what needed to be faced would eventually have to be faced, she quickened her pace to meet the rumored Hua Feiyuan.

The head maid gently pushed open the heavy wooden door, and after a muffled thud, led Xu Danshan into the inner hall.

The moment she crossed the high threshold, a fragrant aroma wafted towards her, rich and elegant, enveloping her entire being without feeling suffocating. Instead, it evoked a desire to succumb to its allure, to become increasingly intoxicated.

Composing herself, Xu Danshan, displaying her unique and superior self-control, strode forward with her head held high.

Outside, the sun shone brightly, but inside the hall, it was dimly lit. A breeze stirred the silk gauze curtains on the window frames, making the already hazy space even more dreamlike. Following the pale white gauze curtains that reflected a few rays of sunlight, she stood gracefully before the host.

In the center of the hall stood a man, proud and imposing, as upright as a poplar tree, as steadfast as a mountain, exuding an air of grandeur. His sharp, narrow eyes stared at her without hesitation, particularly piercing.

Xu Danshan smiled, responding with her most perfect disguise, not flinching from the piercing gaze and oppressive aura.

She was the manager of "Qingshuanglou" and the representative of "Yuesha Qingjian," and she absolutely couldn't let herself be overwhelmed by someone's imposing presence! Especially since the other party wasn't one of the four great sect leaders.

The man before her, though possessing an astonishing aura, held the same status as her.

Li Qiquan, the manager of "Fuyunlou," known as "Cold-Faced Yama," represented Hua Feiyuan in managing everything inside and outside the establishment, while also protecting his mysterious master with impenetrable secrecy.

The man waved his hand lightly, and the maids didn't retreat, but instead stood in a row behind him. Although their eyes were glancing at the ground, their piercing gazes were unabashedly fixed on Xu Danshan, scrutinizing her—or rather, monitoring her.

Although she sensed the overly obvious hostility, Xu Danshan didn't pay much attention. She had already guessed what she would encounter here, so why bother with such things?

"Miss Xu of 'Qing Shuang Lou,' I'm sorry to trouble you to come to 'Fu Yun Lou.' I just wonder what brings your young master to send you, the head steward, here?" His voice was cold and stern, just like his personality—upright, forceful, and intimidating.

Xu Danshan smiled slightly, gentle and generous.

"My young master heard that Hua Feiyuan of 'Shui Yue Jing Hua' was unwell, so he asked me to bring the 'Qing Shuang Bai Lu Wan' I brought yesterday to nourish him."

Li Qiquan's brows furrowed, his displeasure fully revealed. "My young master's health is naturally taken care of by the doctors of 'Fu Yun Lou.' I'm sorry to trouble you, Young Master Zhan. If there's nothing else, please go back, Miss Xu!" His

stiff words were clearly an order to leave, and his disdainful attitude made her seem like trash and a pest! Xu Danshan still smiled, her smile indescribably gentle and moving. A thousand thoughts raced through her mind, and she fully understood what kind of person her opponent was.

Upright and unyielding, with an imposing presence, yet naive and inflexible. Wearing one's thoughts so openly on one's face will never end well.

It seems this Floating Cloud Pavilion is nothing special after all.

"Guests from afar are guests, is this how your establishment treats its guests? Besides, my young master said that if he can't see Young Master Hua in person, he can't reveal that matter..."

Her words piqued Li Qiquan's interest. Raising an eyebrow, he loudly inquired, "Tell me what's so important! My young master is exhausted; I'll take full responsibility for everything!"

"Oh?" She smiled slowly, her voice soft and gentle, yet sharp as a knife. "So, the true master of this 'Floating Cloud Pavilion' isn't Young Master 'Water Moon Mirror Flower,' but you, Lord 'Cold-Faced Yama'?"

"You!" Li Qiquan's face twitched, turning from pale to green, clearly having been touched on a sore spot!

“Since you can’t make the decision, then let me see Young Master Hua… Now that I’ve come to this ‘Moon Viewing Pavilion,’ yet I can’t see ‘Water Moon Mirror Flower,’ I won’t be able to explain it to my master when I return.”

She gave a light curtsy, smiled charmingly, and gently lifted her skirt, stepping towards him.

Behind him, through layers of gauze curtains, a figure was vaguely visible—it was undoubtedly “Water Moon Mirror Flower.”

With a clang, a blade was drawn, gleaming coldly, aimed directly at her throat.

Heh, if soft tactics

don’t work, then hard ones? Xu Danshan spun gracefully, performing a beautiful somersault, easily dodging the fierce attack. To become the manager of “Qing Shuang Lou,” one needs more than just a sharp mind; martial arts skills are equally important.

Just as she spun, the maids who had been following her, one by one, were poised to pounce on her.

Hmph, outnumbered against one, how shameful!

Just as she was pondering how to teach them a lesson, while also not going too far and ruining the young master's instructions, Xu Danshan landed on her toes, her figure graceful and poised to strike. At this critical moment, a lazy voice drifted over.

"Qi Quan, you may all step back."

Upon hearing this voice, everyone froze. Li Qi Quan, looking astonished, hurriedly called out, "Young master!"

"Qi Quan, she is a guest from afar, it's not proper to be impolite… Besides, since I invited her to this 'Moon Viewing' place, I naturally intend to see her. What's the reason for you blocking her?"

The voice was soft and indistinct; although it was a reprimand, it lacked any real reproach. This was because the voice was so gentle and soft, as if landing on a thick down cushion, utterly powerless.

Was this the voice of "Water Moon Mirror Flower"?

"Let her in..."

Li Qiquan reluctantly agreed, glancing at her with hateful eyes before stepping aside to let her into the gauze curtain behind him. As she passed him, he viciously warned, "If you dare harm the young master, I will tear you apart, grind your bones to dust, and scatter your ashes!"

Xu Danshan chuckled, slightly lowering her head, paying little attention to her loyal servant's words, and leisurely walked in.

He was beautiful...

This was Xu Danshan's first impression of the renowned "Water Moon Mirror Flower."

The man named "Hua Feiyuan" wore a loose white robe, tied only loosely at the waist, casually reclining on a deck chair, unruly and arrogant, yet possessing a unique languor. Facing this messenger sent by the enemy, he appeared extremely relaxed.

His features were exquisitely beautiful, shallower than most men's, lacking sharply defined features, yet filled with the softness of the moon. Her trembling eyelashes drooped, her nose was high and prominent, her lips were slightly parted, and her skin was so white it was almost transparent. She was like a fragrant flower under the moonlight, stretching its branches and blossoming with equally pale petals.

If the unparalleled master of the "Gathering Butterfly Pavilion," Xiao Dielou, known as "Butterfly Dance Silver Needle," was a wild and unrestrained flamingo, then she was undoubtedly the enchanting fragrance of the moonlight—a metaphor that was not an exaggeration at all.

And herself? Although she was a woman, she couldn't compare to the refined beauty of these two pavilion masters; at best, she was like a faint jasmine by the roadside, utterly unremarkable.

She gave a slight curtsy, noticing that the other person didn't even lift his eyelids, still maintaining that languid demeanor, seemingly completely indifferent to her, an envoy sent by their enemy.

"...Young Master Zhan Qinglian, 'Moon Fiend Green Sword' of the Qing Shuang Pavilion, what brings you to send someone to visit this semi-reclusive person?"

The voice that escaped was a soft sigh from a zither, yet mixed with a unique languidness, quite melodious.

Xu Danshan wasn't surprised by his opening remarks. As the owner of the first floor, "Water Moon Mirror Flower," a man so beautiful it seemed like a dream, it would be incredibly rude of him to immediately and harshly question her about the purpose of her visit. This semi-circular approach was indeed in line with her expectations.

"My young master, although I've never met you, has always kept you in my thoughts, wondering when I could finally meet the legendary 'Water Moon Mirror Flower,' which is why I was sent here. Now that I've seen you, you truly are a god-like figure..."

She smiled, reciting the prepared lines, feigning indifference.

"...For a young lady to be valued by Young Master Zhan, she is indeed clever, resourceful, and adept at handling all situations."

Hua Feiyuan remained unmoved, not even raising an eyebrow, her expression unchanged, her tone gentle, revealing no hint of praise or criticism. "I have been living in seclusion in this 'Floating Life Pavilion,' but I am not averse to receiving guests. If Young Master Zhan is interested in me, please come anytime; I welcome you..."

Hua Feiyuan's words were sharp enough to make even the most insincere person crumble. However, although she was difficult to deal with, she had come prepared. Xu Danshan smiled and reached into her sleeve. Seeing her sudden action, the maids behind Hua Feiyuan took a step forward in unison, their eyes fixed on her, seemingly ready to pounce at any moment.

Her hand extended, revealing a jade pendant in her pale hand. With a flick of her wrist, it made a "tinkling" sound, a truly rare and exquisite item. With a flick of his wrist, the precious object arced gracefully before landing steadily in the other's outstretched palm. His face remained expressionless, but Hua Feiyuan spoke calmly, "This was carved by a genius craftsman of the previous generation from the finest natural jade. This exquisite jade is divided into nine layers, each adorned with coiled dragon patterns. It makes a natural sound when shaken, like flowing water, clear and melodious. Because it automatically produces sound when near water, it is named 'Water Dragon's Chant'..."

"Young Master truly has excellent taste." Indeed, she was a learned and knowledgeable master; no wonder the young master insisted she come to Hua Feiyuan. "Young Master... although you are not involved in the martial world, you know quite a lot."

A slight smile curved his lips, seemingly ethereal, and Hua Feiyuan paused before continuing.

"...The rights and wrongs of this martial world, even if you don't want to, will still drift into your ears... And although you want to escape this world, trouble always comes looking for you... This time, young lady, you've come with this thing; if I'm not mistaken, you're probably in big trouble, aren't you?"

His eyelashes trembled slightly, and his grip on Shui Linglong's hand tightened slightly, finally revealing a hint of emotion.

"Yes, I have indeed come to see the Master with something important to tell him." Her voice was clear and melodious, piercing through layers of hazy illusions, like a sharp axe cleaving open the illusion of dreams, pulling people into this cruel world.

"The person who slaughtered countless lives back then has reappeared in this martial world!"

Her hand trembled, and Shui Longyin fell to the ground, making a crisp "lingling" sound, attracting the loyal servant outside the curtain to rush in.

"Young Master!" As soon as Li Qiquan saw Hua Feiyuan's lowered head, he immediately rushed forward in a panic, embraced him, and let him lean against his chest.

Xu Danshan stared dumbfounded at this bizarre scene. Even after years of managing the "Qingshuang Tower" and witnessing countless storms, she hadn't expected such a sight!

The young man in the man's arms maintained his indifferent expression on his pale face. He gently pushed away the anxious guards and said softly, "I...I'm fine...I'm just a little shocked by the news."

Propping himself up, he leaned against the soft couch, sinking into the plush bedding. The atmosphere suddenly became quiet. No one spoke, only silently watching him, waiting for his next words. The air was filled with the intoxicating fragrance of flowers. After a long silence, Hua Feiyuan sighed softly and murmured, "I should have thought of this sooner... Back then, there were only four Water Dragon Chant pieces, all stored in the palace. Later, I heard that someone stole them... Now that the Water Dragon Chant has reappeared, his people are probably close... May I ask, young lady, how did you obtain this Water Dragon Chant?"

"It was placed in the main hall of 'Qingshuang Tower' three days ago..."

Seemingly noticing that her words were somewhat concealed, Hua Feiyuan moved slightly, "Hmm?"

It seemed... she couldn't hide it from this person, but there was no need to hide it. Xu Danshan composed herself, trying hard not to think about the nauseating scene she had witnessed, "It was brought over along with... the remains of Manager Zhang, one of the three managers of my 'Qingshuang Tower'..."

At that time, the Water Dragon Chant rolled out from the mangled corpses of her companions, from a stomach full of spilled intestines! Stripped of blood, pure white, yet the Water Dragon Chant haunted everyone's nightmares!

Hua Feiyuan didn't even frown, as if he hadn't heard about a horrific event, but rather trivial matters like drinking tea and wine. "That Manager Zhang... supposedly possessed exceptional martial arts skills, yet he was dismembered and sent to 'Qingshuang Tower'... Such methods, such martial arts, it's no wonder Young Master Zhan considered joining forces..."

Xu Danshan looked at Hua Feiyuan with surprise, but the other's eyes remained fixed on the floor.

"Isn't that so? If even my mortal enemy is trying to persuade him, then the other two sect leaders will naturally be involved... If that person wants to dominate the martial world... the four of us will be the biggest obstacle..."

Indeed... quite clever!

Secretly approving, Xu Danshan's resolve to persuade the man to join the alliance strengthened. She stepped forward, "Since you understand this, young master, you should join forces with him! Otherwise, the people will suffer, and that demon will run rampant—wouldn't that be a terrible tragedy? You are a wise man; you should temporarily eliminate the barriers between our 'Qingshuang Tower' and 'Fusheng Tower,' and unite to deal with that person!"

"..."

Hua Feiyuan remained silent, his eyelids half-closed. His guards, however, bared their teeth, clearly disliking the sharp-tongued woman.

"Young master! Now it's our 'Qingshuang Tower' that's suffering, and next it might be your 'Fusheng Tower.' Are you going to sit idly by and wait for that demon to die? You should know that you are no match for him with your own strength!" Xu Danshan spoke eloquently, maintaining a facade of gentleness and grace. Although her words were sharp and threatening, she spoke with a smile.

Hua Feiyuan didn't look at her face; in fact, he never even raised his head once. After a while, he finally spoke.

"...Since that's the case, then I surrender..."

No matter how clever Xu Danshan was, she never expected this young master to utter such a sentence! She stared blankly for a long time before asking for the first time in her life, "What?"

"I said... if I can't beat him, can't I at least escape?" Hua Feiyuan spoke lightly, his casual tone as if discussing the wind and flowers outside.

"Young Master!" This time, Li Qiquan and Xu Danshan shouted in unison, their incredulous eyes fixed on the half-lying Hua Feiyuan, utterly unable to believe what he had just said!

"Isn't that right... No matter how we resist, there will always be bloodshed and sacrifice. So no matter how many people are sacrificed, there will still be people who have to sacrifice... Since it's for everyone's good, it's better to just surrender now and be cleaner... As long as this obstacle is gone, he won't make things too difficult for us..."

Xu Danshan felt a wave of dizziness...

He had thought the Lord of the Tower was extremely intelligent before, but now he was saying such things, which really made his eyes drop!

"Young Master! This doesn't seem right! If that fiend becomes the number one martial artist, wouldn't his exploitation of fellow martial artists cause even greater harm?!" Li Qiquan hurriedly advised, which improved Xu Danshan's impression of this loyal servant.

"Since that's the case, then we might as well retire from the martial world... If we weren't martial artists, he wouldn't make things difficult for us..." Hua Feiyuan rolled up his sleeves, yawned elegantly, and curled up as if he was about to fall asleep.

This...this bastard!

No! I can't get angry...I absolutely can't get angry here... She took a deep breath, suppressing the anger hidden beneath her gentle exterior, and also trying not to look at Hua Feiyuan with such rage. After all, she came to persuade him, not to cause trouble... "Young Master, that's not the right way to think. That fiend is insatiable..."

"If I have nothing else to offer, then even if he's greedy, there's a limit..." Hua Feiyuan interrupted her, lying down on the soft couch.

"But! Even so..."

"...Life is like a dream, so why force it...What's meant to come will come, and what's meant to go will go. All worldly ties are settled, so why try to change anything...Why not just go with the flow and be at peace?"

These words, spoken languidly and aptly, conveyed a sense of detachment from worldly affairs and indifference to life and death. They caused Xu Danshan's heart to pound rapidly, clearly on the verge of bursting with rage. She

had never seen anyone like this before! To abandon everything so nonchalantly! To disregard the dignity he would protect even at the cost of his life, to abandon his status in the martial world, and simply retreat into hiding, waiting for the calm after the fighting! It was simply too much!

"If that's the case, then why does Young Master keep opposing 'Qing Shuang Lou'? If you're so open-minded, then why do you make things difficult for us at every turn?" She pressed relentlessly, determined to tear off his mask.

Hua Feiyuan muttered softly, "...It's not that I have a grudge against your young master, but it's that your 'Qingshuang Tower' is making things difficult for me at every turn...I haven't provoked you at all..."

Indeed...

it seems that their tower master has been the one causing trouble for "Shuiyue Jinghua"...But—

"Even so! Then you..."

"I'm sorry...I'm really tired...Miss, please go back and tell your tower master...just say don't include 'Fusheng Tower' in this..." Hua Feiyuan's voice was soft and indistinct, and she really did seem to be about to fall asleep.

She never dreamed that "Shuiyue Jinghua" would be this kind of person! Cowardly, timid, and shirking responsibility! And extremely clueless about the times! No wonder the tower master dislikes him, and even she herself couldn't stand him when she first met him!

"I'm not leaving!"

You're ruthless, I'll be ruthless too! Otherwise, I'll be letting down the task my young master entrusted to me and the trust he placed in me! Even if it costs me my life, I will achieve my goal! Although

she appeared calm, she was also known for her exceptional intelligence and unwavering will, and she never believed that anything was impossible.

"I won't leave until you agree to the young master's plan!"

Her bright eyes flashed as she forced herself to suppress her raging anger, maintaining a gentle and composed facade for outsiders. Though soft, she stated her demand with unwavering stubbornness.

"You woman! Don't be ungrateful!" Hua Feiyuan didn't react, but her loyal dog barked and hissed, demanding her life.

Xu Danshan remained unmoved, his eyes fixed on Hua Feiyuan, awaiting his answer.

Hua Feiyuan sighed, struggling to sit up from the soft couch, and softly said,

"Alright... you can use any of the rooms here. If you get tired of them, please go back..."

His eyelashes fluttered, and he looked up, his bright eyes meeting hers, causing her heart to skip a beat, experiencing an unprecedented shock.

Beneath trembling eyelashes, her pupils were like autumn water, like a deep pool, like the starry sky, like a spring dream awakened in this "Floating Life Pavilion," a dream where countless fallen petals vanish with the wind, turning into the murmuring stream... like a dream, like an illusion, obliterating the mortal world...

Chapter Two: Exquisite. Mysterious. A Hundred Turns and Thousands of Twists

She could not see the Flower Flying Fate.

Xu Danshan sat in the side room, slowly eating the food brought by the maid, and then slowly swallowing it under the maid's watchful gaze. A

simple four dishes and a soup: stir-fried garlic sprouts, vegetarian three delicacies, Kung Pao chicken, and oyster sauce beef, all cooked to perfection yet crisp, exceptionally delicious. The last dish was an egg custard, which was even more fragrant and tender, melting in the mouth. In front of the two maids, she inserted the silver needle from her hair into the egg, and only after noticing that it did not turn black did she take out her own chopsticks from her pocket and begin to eat.

Because poison could not only be placed in the food, but even the edges of the plates and the spoons used could be poisoned.

Although one shouldn't harbor malicious intent, it's still necessary to be wary when standing on someone else's turf!

This is an experience Xu Danshan has gleaned from countless trials and tribulations; though old-fashioned, it's an undeniable truth.

She sipped her steamed egg custard, savoring the sensation of the egg sliding on her tongue, her mind racing.

Since her failed attempt to persuade him that day, Hua Feiyuan had promised her the freedom to live in "Floating Life Pavilion" until she grew tired of it. So, for the past few days, she'd been staying in the room closest to "Moon Gazing," waiting for an opportunity to persuade the pavilion master—whether clever or foolish—to surrender obediently and join the alliance of the four great pavilion masters.

"Water Moon Mirror Flower" Hua Feiyuan—she had never met such a strange person. Everything he did was beyond her comprehension, completely different from ordinary people, at least from the powerful pavilion master, or ambitious individuals!

Everyone has pursuits, whether it's the power they crave, the status they desire, or the person they admire. Having one or two pursuits is normal, but based on her observations, that lord of the mansion seemed to need nothing!

Power? She hadn't seen him wield it much. Status? It seemed Li Qiquan's status was higher than his. And the person he admired? That was even more elusive, the first person she couldn't see through at all!

Completely without weaknesses, meaning completely without any leverage, which meant there was absolutely no chance of success!

However, the prerequisite for completing the mission was that she had to see this lord in person.

During the few days she stayed here, every time she went to visit Hua Feiyuan, she was turned away by the guards with an excuse.

"The lord is resting; please come back later, young lady!"

Heaven knows she visited him three times a day plus a late-night snack, while this young master Hua slept all day long! Please, she wasn't afraid of him lying, just don't treat her like a fool!

Sigh… Frustration!

"Young lady, you've stayed here long enough. Your master must be very worried. You'd better go back to him!" A maidservant spoke up, her words of advice masking a murderous intent that seemed to want to tear her apart and boil her alive.

She really was quite naive!

This little rascal dared to challenge this cunning old fox; she was seriously underestimating her!

Xu Danshan smiled, her voice serene, displaying the demeanor of a refined young lady.

"My master has always trusted me, knowing I wouldn't do anything underhanded—like kicking out guests behind his back..."

This last sentence made the maid's face flush red and then pale with anger. Without waiting to see if she had finished eating, the maid hurriedly collected the plate, grabbed it, and left. Her companion, following behind, glared at her fiercely but said nothing, and ran after her.

"Hehe...such a novice..." Xu Danshan smiled, as bright as the spring sun outside, indescribably happy. But the thought that now was not the time to tease others dimmed her face.

She had to think of a way to see that man again!

But...

Xu Danshan gently wiped the used chopsticks clean, put them in her bosom, pushed open the door, and went out. Several maids immediately followed, keeping watch from behind.

Sigh...even if she wanted to use martial arts to sneak to "Moon Viewing," she would have to shake off this whole bunch of tagalongs first!

As she pondered, her feet involuntarily led her to the back garden, into that colorful and vibrant scene. A hundred flowers bloomed, clusters of blossoms, tinged with crimson, deep purple, navy blue, bright yellow, and soft pink, creating a picturesque scene.

She stood out amidst the flowers, dressed in an elegant light blue blouse. Looking at the troublesome things behind her, then at her own clothes, she thought for a moment, then suddenly called out loudly, "I want to take a nap here. You can wait as long as you like!"

Ignoring their astonishment, she actually found a rock and pretended to doze off. The maids, seeing this, thought she was joking, but after waiting a while and seeing that she hadn't gotten up, they gathered around. Seeing her steady breathing and slightly fluttering eyelashes, she seemed genuinely asleep.

"That woman is such a nuisance! She's clearly our 'Floating Life Pavilion's' mortal enemy, yet she dares to swagger in like that and even has the audacity to stay! She's utterly shameless!"

"Exactly, exactly! It's all thanks to our kind-hearted leader that we don't stoop to her level. If it were me, I'd have dragged her out and chopped her into eight pieces!"

"But since she's asleep here, we can just watch her from a distance. She can't run away even if she wanted to… Xiao Ju, go get some melon seeds and snacks. We can chat while keeping watch!"

"Yes!" The maid named "Xiao Ju" responded and ran off. The other maids chatted and laughed as they went to the side. Amidst the blooming flowers, a light blue shirt peeked out, particularly eye-catching.

After a while, Xiao Ju returned with three kinds of pastries and several plates of melon seeds. Then, after being assigned other chores, she left, and the other maids began their lively discussion. As Xiaoju passed by, Xu Danshan flicked her finger, striking an acupoint. Xiaoju collapsed limply without even a groan. All of this happened in a flash, unnoticed by the chattering maids.

Xu Danshan quickly stripped off her outer robe, swapped it with Xiaoju's, placed her on a rock, and hurriedly left. This time, by some strange coincidence, she returned precisely at the right moment, ensuring she wouldn't be exposed!

Finally rid of those eyesores, she quickly made her way to the "Moon Viewing Pavilion" in the center of the garden. Looking at the seven-story building, she took a breath, and with a few light leaps, used her unparalleled lightness skill to scale the top.
