Chapter 111: New Master
Kong Rui was stunned. She didn’t expect that the temporary residence Chao Bai found was Fragrant Garden.
“Where are Zi Xuan and the others?” Kong Rui asked, “Isn’t that place Zi Xuan’s? Or rather, High Heaven Pavilion’s?”
“It’s mine now,” Chao Bai said firmly. His tone was so firm that Kong Rui didn’t dare to doubt him.
“What about Zi Xuan? Is it safe there?”
“She was taken away by the Lei family. She probably won’t be back for a while,” Chao Bai said simply.
When Kong Rui heard this, she nodded and no longer had any other worries.
As long as Zi Xuan didn’t return, that place would be safe for the time being.
Since he had already chosen a place, there was no need to waste time.
Kong Rui thought for a moment and decided to let Chao Bai carry Tong Sheng back to Fragrant Garden.
The reason Kong Rui chose to send Tong Sheng back at night was that she didn’t want others to know who saved Tong Sheng.
Now that they were going to Fragrant Garden, it was unrealistic to leave Tong Sheng here alone, so they could only hide him and take him away while he was asleep.
Chao Bai wanted to stuff Tong Sheng into the storage space, but Kong Rui rejected him. “Tong Sheng is a human! Moreover, he’s weak now. Stuffing him in the storage space might hurt his body!”
Kong Rui refused firmly, so Chao Bai could only listen to Kong Rui’s arrangements.
After carrying Tong Sheng, Chao Bai tapped Tong Sheng’s temple twice.
Kong Rui looked at Chao Bai in confusion.
Chao Bai explained impatiently, “In case he suddenly wakes up. It’ll be troublesome.”
Kong Rui smiled. She knew that Chao Bai just seem cold-hearted on the surface, but he was actually very warm-hearted!
After settling Tong Sheng, the two of them appeared on the streets of the Imperial Capital again.
The two of them walked towards Fragrant Garden. On the way, they heard people mention the news of the Lei family abducting Zi Xuan in front of Fragrant Garden from time to time.
However, in this news, only the Lei family’s elder and Zi Xuan were mentioned. No one mentioned the two people who had run to the high platform to save the boy. This made Kong Rui feel much more at ease.
Since no one mentioned them, fewer people paid attention to them. Even if High Heaven Pavilion started searching, they wouldn’t start from them.
When the two of them arrived at the entrance of Fragrant Garden, they saw the brothel keeper, who was dressed gorgeously, hurriedly come down from the high platform.
Her face, which was caked with foundation powder, almost dropped powder as she ran.
After arriving in front of the two of them, the brothel keeper squeezed out a professional smile and grabbed Chao Bai’s arm. “Master, you’re finally back! I’ve been waiting for you!”
When Kong Rui saw the brothel keeper’s solicitous expression, the corners of her mouth twitched.
This brothel keeper was old enough to be Chao Bai’s grandmother. Her coquettish demeanor really made people lose their appetite!
Although Kong Rui thought so, she didn’t say anything.
However, Chao Bai lowered his head slightly. Even through the veil, one could feel his eyes staring fixedly at the hand grabbing him.
The brothel keeper stared at Chao Bai eagerly, waiting for Chao Bai to praise her.
Unexpectedly, Chao Bai scolded her coldly, “Let go!”
The brothel keeper was startled. It took her a moment to react before she let out a cry.
Chao Bai suddenly swung his arm and shook off the brothel keeper’s hand. Then, without even looking at the panicked brothel keeper, he walked into Fragrant Garden.
The brothel keeper stood rooted to the ground for a while before picking up her dress and chasing after them. “Master, wait for me! I’ll bring you to your room to rest!”
Kong Rui watched as the brothel keeper ran up the stairs. There were a few times when she almost lost her balance and fell to the ground.
Kong Rui shrugged and took a deep breath before walking towards the door of Fragrant Garden. After taking a few steps, she saw Chao Bai stop.
The brothel keeper, who was chasing after Chao Bai, didn’t react in time and almost stumbled to the ground. “M-Master?”
Chao Bai ignored the brothel keeper and only turned to look at Kong Rui. “Why are you dawdling? Follow me!”
Kong Rui pursed her lips and quickened her pace. She overtook the stunned brothel keeper and walked to Chao Bai’s side.
Chao Bai was finally satisfied. He passed through the quiet hall in front of him and walked straight towards the backyard.
