Enjoying Free Food and Lodging

If what Yi He said is true, then as long as Ma Feifei enters that area, he will definitely be detected by the boundary projection. After all, his portrait has already been transmitted to the entire Yong'an City through the Myriad Realms Transmission Array. Wherever there is a boundary projection monitoring range, Ma Feifei's portrait should have been received.

However, Ma Feifei was genuinely impressed that Xun Ling could not only remember his appearance and draw it, but also that he couldn't draw a portrait of Ma Feifei Zhang Ke if asked to do so now.

"Thank you for your help, young lady." Regardless of how she knew he was wanted, Ma Feifei still expressed his gratitude to Yi He. As long as she had the intention to help Ma Feifei, that was enough.

Yi He bowed slightly in return and said, "Master Scribe Shushi, you are too kind. In that case, Yi He will not disturb Master Scribe any longer. Yi He will take her leave."

After Yi He finished speaking, she bowed again before slowly backing away, preparing to leave.

"Hey, hey!" Ma Feifei couldn't help but wave and call out.

Yi He stopped, looked up at Ma Feifei, and looked puzzled.

Slightly embarrassed, Ma Feifei scratched the back of his head, glanced around at the dimly lit street, and whispered, "I don't know the way."

Yi He: "..."

As night fell and the air grew cool, in a mansion in Yong'an City, bright red lanterns hung high, and the hall was brightly lit.

Ma Feifei sat at the table and ate heartily. This was Yi He's home. After bringing Ma Feifei here, she thoughtfully had the servants prepare a meal, which Ma Feifei ate with great relish.

Yi He sat opposite Ma Feifei, quietly watching him eat, her eyes flashing with an unusual light, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

"Hmm..." Ma Feifei finished the last bite of his food, picked up the soup that the maid had specially served him, drank it all in one gulp, then wiped his mouth with a towel from the table and let out a comfortable sigh, "I'm full..."

"Thank you so much for your hospitality, Yi He Yihe. I am deeply grateful," Ma Feifei said, cupping his hands in a perfunctory manner.

"Master Scribe." Yi He nodded slightly, her face flushed, perhaps because she had been having dinner alone with Ma Feifei.

Ma Feifei was carefree and never paid attention to these things, or even if she did, she wouldn't care too much. Instead, she began to examine the furnishings and architecture of the hall. It was elegant and unique, with a spacious interior. The beams and pillars around the hall were decorated with many dense patterns, and there were maids and servants waiting in the shadows. Clearly, this was not an ordinary family.

So now the question is, if Yi He's family is so rich, why would she become a prostitute in a "Book Fragrance Family"? And if Ma Feifei hadn't caused trouble back then, she would probably be undressed and sleeping with a beauty by now.

In other words, judging from the theoretical plot, Yi He had no unspeakable difficulties or reluctance, at least that's how Ma Feifei felt at the time.

Given that she had nothing and came from a very wealthy family, it's a bit hard to understand why she would become a prostitute in a "Book Fragrance Family".

"Does Yi He have some kind of peculiar fetish?" Ma Feifei wondered, glancing at Yi He sitting opposite him out of the corner of her eye.

"Why is Master Scribe looking at me like that?" Yi He Xiumei frowned and asked in confusion.

How could Ma Feifei say such a thing directly? He could only smile and wave his hand, saying, "No, I just wanted to ask where my room is. It's getting late, and I'm a little tired."

Having wandered around outside for a while, it was impossible for Ma Feifei to feel refreshed. He couldn't wait to lie down in bed and take a nap, to meet with the Duke of Zhou of Zhou (a figure in Chinese mythology associated with dreams).

"Master Scribe, please follow me." Yi He stood up, came to Ma Feifei, and made a gesture of invitation with one hand. Ma Feifei understood, got up and followed, with Yi He walking in front and Ma Feifei following behind.

The two left the hall, turned several corners, walked along dark paths and through pavilions, and finally led Ma Feifei to a room in a small courtyard.

"The residence is simple; I'm sorry to trouble you Master Scribe, to make do here for the night." Yi He bowed, her tone tinged with apology.

Looking at the nearly fifty-square-meter room, with its unidentified yet luxurious-looking curtains, cups, tables, and Grand Tutor Chair, and smelling the calming sandalwood incense, Ma Feifei thought that if this was considered simple, it probably wouldn't be considered a luxurious room at all.

"Miss Yi He is too modest. I am very satisfied with this house." Ma Feifei bowed and thanked her. He now felt much more favorably toward Yi He. Knowing that he was a wanted criminal, she was still willing to help him, take him home, give him food and drink, and even provide him with a room to sleep in. She was a good person.

"Then I will not disturb Master Scribe's rest any longer. I will take my leave." Yi He curtsied and withdrew.

Ma Feifei watched Yi He leave, raised her hand, and had something she wanted to say but didn't know how to say it.

"Crunch"

Yi He closed the door behind her, leaving Ma Feifei alone in the large room, unsure of what to do.

"Is it too late for you to sleep now...?"

Azure Dragon Continent, Chu Kingdom, Dubian Town.

Several major events have recently occurred in Dubian Town. First, Mayor Zhou Wuji personally led a team to uncover a group of people involved in the production and distribution of counterfeit "Book Card." The case involved a large number of people, and according to the confessions of the arrested members, it was discovered that the mastermind behind the counterfeit "Book Card" was actually the "Yunteng Chamber of Commerce," the second Great Shang in the Great Chu!

The news caused an uproar throughout Dubian Town. What was the Yunteng Chamber of Commerce? It was the second Great Shang of the Great Shang in the Chu Kingdom. It was a top-tier chamber of commerce that served as one of the most important sources of economic income for the Chu Kingdom and played a leading role in promoting the prosperity and development of the Chu Kingdom.

Now, the Yunteng Chamber of Commerce has been informed that it forged 'Book Card'!

If it were anything else, it wouldn't matter, but what is a 'Book Card'? It's a credential for entering the Mysterious Bookstore, representing the Mysterious Bookstore. The Yunteng Chamber of Commerce of Commerce's actions are not only openly Snatch the Mysterious Bookstore's profits, but also Taunt the Mysterious Bookstore.

As the most powerful force on the Azure Dragon Continent, the actions of the Yunteng Chamber of Commerce have undoubtedly put them in the spotlight. Overnight, all of the Yunteng Chamber of Commerce's businesses came to a standstill, and the flow of people in the trading markets of various Yunteng Chamber of Commerce plummeted, resulting in heavy losses.

Even Empress Chu Qiongyu, upon learning of this news, ordered Zhou Wuji investigate the matter and provide a reasonable explanation to the Mysterious Bookstore.

However, Ma Feifei, the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore, remained completely silent after the incident. Even the Mysterious Bookstore Bookstore remained silent, operating as usual every day and closing on time. Apart from the store's employees, Ma Feifei was nowhere to be seen.

Everyone believed that this was the shop owner, Ma Feifei, putting pressure on the Chu Kingdom government to give the Mysterious Bookstore an explanation.

But only the employees of the Mysterious Bookstore knew that their owner had been missing for several days...
