The passenger ship left the harbor. Along the banks, willow trees were budding, grass was turning green, wildflowers were blooming, swallows had returned, and hawks spread their wings high in the sky. Xiaoxiao asked Jiang Hao, "Young Master, where are we?"
"In the third month, we'll head down to Yangzhou amid the blossoms. We'll go to Yangzhou first," Jiang Hao said.
A few days later, Jiang Hao brought Xiaoxiao and Ping'er to Yangzhou. A luxurious carriage stopped outside the Changle Gang's gates. Ping'er, dressed in Heroine Attire, jumped down and said to the Changle Gang guards, "Inform your gang leader that Jiang Hao has come to visit."
The guards were rather surprised. "Who is Jiang Hao? Never heard of him."
"Jiang Hao is my Young Master's name. You may not have heard it now, but it will surely become famous in the future," Ping'er said.
"Pfft, hahahaha!" The guards burst out laughing.
"So that means this Hero Jiang Hao is just some nobody right now. A fellow whose name no one has even heard comes swaggering up to the Changle Gang. Does he think he can see our gang leader whenever he wants? Didn't he bother asking around? Our Changle Gang is the number one gang in Jiangnan," a guard said arrogantly.
The other guard looked Ping'er over, a lewd grin appearing on his face. "If it's a young lady who wants to see our gang leader, then maybe it's possible. Our gang leader would surely treat you as an honored guest at his table—and in his bed. Hahahaha!"
Ping'er's expression turned cold. In this world, only one person was allowed to tease her. No one else could. Her Young Master had once said that foul-mouthed people belonged in the Hell of Tongue Pulling.
"Swish!"
