The Absurd Prince

Why was Widow Wang here?

Li Yan was astonished. He retreated slightly, hiding himself in the darkness.

To be honest, he wasn't well-liked at Li Family Fortress. Aside from Hei Dan, he had almost no friends.

For one thing, most of his energy went into figuring out how to hone his martial arts.

For another, his outlook clashed with that of people in this era.

He spoke bluntly, couldn't be bothered to waste time on favors and petty rights and wrongs, and refused to suffer even the slightest loss.

Others couldn't afford to provoke him, so they simply avoided dealing with him and gossiped behind his back.

As for Widow Wang, he had even fewer dealings with her.

Only after the Cold Altar Rampaging Soldier appeared had the two sides been forced to join hands.

Afterward, however, Widow Wang and the fox immortal she Attended to had immediately fled and vanished.

Li Yan only knew that they were Chuma Xian from the Northern Frontier, seemingly hiding from their enemies.

It would have been one thing to encounter them on the road, but now that they had appeared here...

Things clearly weren't so simple.

Just as Li Yan was pondering this, the atmosphere in the courtyard changed again.

"What a peerless beauty!"

A young man in white sighed while snapping open his fan, then gestured to the servant beside him.

The servant immediately grabbed a silver pouch and ran out. Soon, a pimp shouted loudly in the courtyard, "Young Master Lu presents Miss Hu with two flower baskets! On this fine night beneath a full moon, flowers bloom and the moon is round—such a moment must be celebrated!"

A maid promptly set two flower baskets on the embroidered tower.

"Good heavens, Young Master Lu is truly generous!"

Exclamations immediately rang out
