"Silly boy, a woman's age is a secret. You shouldn't have said that." At this moment, Cold-Blooded Fifth tapped Ye Lang. "I'm sorry, Madam Xinying. He's a bit silly. He said you're already forty-three."

"..."

Is this an apology? Ye Lang only said forty-something, but you even specified forty-three.

Xin Ying is becoming increasingly suspicious of Ye Lang and the others. While it's possible to guess that they're in their forties, the fact that they're forty-three is no longer a guess. These people must have already investigated this place before.

That's right, the Cold-Blooded Group did investigate this place. The reason why Cold-Blooded Fifth knew this age was also from the information. Originally, she was a little skeptical, but now she was certain.

When Ye Lang said that Xin Ying was in her forties, Cold-Blooded Fifth already believed it to a large extent. She knew that Ye Lang would never lie, and that he must have used some special method to see through Xin Ying's approximate age.

"Hehe, it's nothing, it's just my age, it's not a big deal. I'm not a girl from here," Xinying said with a smile, but her smile seemed a little forced, indicating that this matter had hurt her deeply.

"Sister Xinying, is what they said true? Are you really forty-three? That's impossible, you're so young..." Satellite looked at Xinying, unable to believe what Ye Lang and the other person were saying.

"Yes! Only a few people know about this. May I ask how you, Young Master, found out? Oh, and I forgot to ask your names." Xin Ying said with a smile.

Damn it, couldn't you just keep quiet? This Satellite is really despicable; it deserves to have a thousand gold coins stolen from it. If I had known this would happen, I should have given it more.

"My name is Xue Wu, and this is Fei Yan. She's the maid we hired (Liu Feiyan was very unhappy at this point, but she had to endure it!). He's my younger brother, so you can call him Young Master. He likes it when people call him that. Also, this is our little sister. She doesn't like talking to strangers!" Cold-Blooded Fifth said quickly. She didn't want Ye Lang to reveal his identity here. It was fine to come here for breakfast, but it wouldn't be good if others overthought things, since Ye Lang's identity was too sensitive right now.

Cold-Blooded Fifth's claim that Ye Lang was her younger brother led to misunderstandings, as Ye Lang's surname was Xue, making it even harder to remember who he was.

"Young Master Xue, what brings you here?" Xin Ying asked, wanting to probe Ye Lang and his group's purpose and see if they would open up here.

"We're here for breakfast!" Cold-Blooded Fifth replied.

"Yes, I came to eat Osmanthus Cake. The Osmanthus Cake here tastes very good, I like it!" Ye Lang added from the side.

Breakfast? Osmanthus Cake?

Don't you think nobody will believe this? Who would come to a brothel for breakfast? Just for the peace and quiet in the morning?

No one believed this fact, and Xin Ying was no exception. She increasingly felt that there was something wrong with Ye Lang and the others.

"So that's how it is! Thank you for your support!!" Xin Ying said with a smile, though she didn't believe it, she couldn't show it on her face.

"Sister Xinying, you don't believe their nonsense. They're only here to cause trouble. Why don't you hand them over to me?" Satellite said at this moment. Xinying found Satellite to be cute, and she wanted to find someone to test her.

"They are all guests, and you are a guest too. You are all the same. I can't hand them over to you!" Xin Ying said with some difficulty, though of course, she was pretending.

"In that case, Sister Xinying, you stay here and watch! I'm also your guest, you shouldn't stop me," Satellite said immediately.

"But..." Xin Ying hesitated, which meant she acquiesced.

Young Master Liu looked at Xinying, and their eyes met. He seemed to understand what she wanted to do: to use the Satellite, this fool, to explore the way.

The men and women in front of him were indeed a bit strange; he absolutely did not believe they were here for breakfast!

If Ye Lang knew that no one believed he came for breakfast, he would be extremely depressed. It's true! What's wrong with you all? You don't even believe the truth? Does this mean that no one believes the truth anymore?

"Madam Xinying, is this how you treat your guests? Letting others harass us?" Liu Feiyan said coldly at this moment.

"There's nothing I can do about it. You're all my guests, and I don't know who to help, so I can only stand by and watch!" Xin Ying said helplessly.

Everyone could see that she was just standing by and watching, wanting to see Ye Lang and the others make a fool of themselves. She didn't care whether others could see it or not; she originally wanted to use this to remind Ye Lang and the others that she already knew they had ulterior motives.

It's no wonder she misunderstood. Ye Lang's arrival was already strange, and he was already suspected. Now, he could so accurately reveal her secret, which goes without saying that he had a purpose.

"It would be better if you were just bystanders, but what I fear most is that you're all in cahoots!" Liu Feiyan said coldly.

"..."

At this moment, Cold-Blooded Fifth noticed something strange on Xin Ying's face. It seemed that her secret had been exposed. The Liu family? They didn't seem like a couple.

Cold-Blooded Fifth noticed just now that Xin Ying and the Young Master Liu seemed to be master and servant, but that was not the case. It seemed to be a cooperative relationship, and Xin Ying was in the dominant position.

Of course, this is just speculation, and we need to investigate further to know the specifics!

Xin Ying's face showed something unusual, because she felt that Ye Lang and the others' purpose seemed clearer, and it was definitely not as simple as having breakfast, since they even knew about this.

It was just something Liu Feiyan casually said about them being a group. Liu Feiyan just said it offhand and it didn't mean anything by it. However, the speaker didn't mean anything by it, but the listener took it to heart. Xin Ying thought that Ye Lang and the others had noticed something.

That's why Xinying was also secretly giving signals to her people to be ready and lying in ambush, prepared to act at any time.

"Boy, today I'll make you pay the price and leave these two women here. Don't worry, I'll treat them well; I've always been chivalrous towards women." Satellite drew his sword again, but this time no one stopped him.

Whoosh!

Satellite slashed at Ye Lang's table. At first, he didn't intend to kill him. He wanted to give him a warning first and split the table in two!

Just as the Satellite cleaved the table in two, Ye Lang and his men swiftly and efficiently retrieved the plates of their favorite snacks from the table.

There were four people, each carrying one or two basins, performing what looked like acrobatics...
