Free Web NovelChapter 1389: Chapter 449: New Companion
Guangzi is really like a weather vane, swaying with the wind.
Helpless, Ye Lingyue had no choice but to follow Bo Qing into the Red Sleeve Pavilion.
"Sir, you look unfamiliar. Do you have a favorite girl?"
As soon as Bo Qing entered the door, a charming middle-aged madam came up to him.
"Madam Xu, it’s only been a few months, and you don’t recognize me?"
Bo Qing smiled faintly, his expression perfectly balanced between cool and warm.
"You are Lord Bao?"
Recognizing Bo Qing’s face, more beautiful than a woman’s, and hearing his voice, the madam suddenly realized.
In a place like the Red Sleeve Pavilion, the madam naturally had keen abilities, not only recognizing every customer’s face but also knowing their voices and little quirks well.
Bo Qing had been to the Red Sleeve Pavilion a few times before, but always wore a mask, so no one had seen his true face. He was eccentric and never like the other patrons who would sit and chat with the girls, at most enjoying the music, sometimes accompanied by a beautiful woman with the last name Tan.
Many people came to the Red Sleeve Pavilion, but it was rare for someone like Bo Qing who was so proper and even brought a woman along.
Furthermore, Bo Qing was generous and never made things difficult for the girls there, so Madam Xu remembered him well.
It’s just that this time, the woman he brought was different, Madam Xu was curious.
Moreover, this woman was not as stunning as Tan Su, simply dressed in a loose alchemist robe, her face dark and ordinary-looking.
Madam Xu glanced at Ye Lingyue a few more times, but knowing her business well, she naturally wouldn’t ask too much.
The Red Sleeve Pavilion was crowded, Bo Qing shielded Ye Lingyue to prevent her from being bumped, his gesture protective, something even Tan Su hadn’t experienced before.
The madam, being sharp-minded, immediately grasped that this woman was unusually important to Bo Qing and should not be neglected.
As the madam pondered, Ye Lingyue looked over.
She smiled at the madam to show friendliness.
The madam was startled, noticing the woman had exceptionally beautiful eyes, clear and bright, like a pool of clear spring water.
Moreover, she did not look down on the madam due to her status, unlike Tan Su who always had a sour face every time she came, this attitude alone made the madam have a good impression of Bo Qing’s new companion.
"Are Situ and Lan Feng still in the old place?"
Not wanting Ye Lingyue to linger in such a place, Bo Qing quickly moved upstairs after receiving a positive answer.
"Bo Qing, you finally came, we brothers have been waiting."
As Bo Qing entered, hearty laughter rang out, revealing a few tables in the room with two men and four women, four more women with treasure swords dancing to the music, a scene of feminine allure and joyous festivities.
Two men sat left and right, the one on the left was delicate as a scholar.
But the man on the right, tall and robust, was comparable to the half-beasts at the city gate, obviously having some beastman blood.
Both of them were only about three or four years older than Bo Qing and had considerable abilities, both at the Small Divine Power level. Ye Lingyue knew at a glance why Bo Qing chose these two as his partners.
Brightly lit, as Bo Qing entered, everyone’s attention naturally fell on his face.
"Pfft—"
The man on the right spewed the alcohol in his mouth. The man on the left dropped his cup with a clang.
Clearly, both were "shocked" by Bo Qing’s true appearance.
"Haha, Lan Feng, hand over the Spirit Stones. I told you, Bo Qing is no ugly monster, his appearance is better than the one at the City Lord’s Mansion. Didn’t I say it right?"
The man who spat out the wine roguishly demanded Spirit Stones from the man on the left.
The latter, frustrated, pulled out a pouch of heavy Spirit Stones, tossing them to Bo Qing.
The two had been hunting demons with Bo Qing for over a year, getting along well. They knew he wore a human skin mask, so they made a bet on whether Bo Qing’s true face was beautiful or ugly. But Bo Qing refused to remove the mask, so the bet lingered.
Unexpectedly, this time, Bo Qing seemed to turn a new leaf and removed the mask.
The one at the City Lord’s Mansion naturally referred to Young Master Yu.
"Are you two courting death, comparing me to a male concubine?"
Bo Qing was used to the banter of the two friends.
He went to his table, ordering the drinks to be removed, and had some small dishes that Ye Lingyue liked to be served before letting her sit down, taking the seat beside her.
Situ and Lan both knew Tan Su left the team and that Bo Qing would bring a new partner. They assumed Bo Qing, with his taste, would bring a beauty, but were surprised it was a plain girl, puzzled why Bo Qing showered her with care.
With Tan Su, Bo Qing was always independent, never this considerate.
"Bo Qing, the one beside you isn’t the replacement for Tan Su, is she?"
Lan Feng took a sip and glanced at Ye Lingyue nonchalantly.
As Lan Feng examined Ye Lingyue, his eyes flickered, frowning as he exchanged a look with Situ. Lan Feng shook his head, and Situ’s face turned grim.
Clearly, Lan Feng saw through Ye Lingyue’s abilities.
He had already noticed there was no trace of the Power of Reincarnation on her.
Situ and Lan Feng were somewhat macho, never fond of partnering with women.
Tan Su’s previous involvement was accepted reluctantly due to Bo Qing and her beauty.
But this one...
"Situ, Lan Feng, you’re both wrong. She’s not a helper I invited. Moreover, the ’Heroic’ team has been disbanded. To participate in the Jiu Provinces Hunting, we need to join a new team. The one beside me is the leader of the newly formed Huangquan Team, City Lord Ye. I hope you’ll both join the Huangquan Team."
Bo Qing hadn’t finished when the impulsive Situ sprang to his feet.
"Bo Qing, are you joking? Did you dissolve the Heroic Team just to become a lackey for a small city lord? If so, I was wrong about you."
