In Shannanxi.

"Master, why do you suddenly want to go out today, it is very rare that you decide to leave the pavilion," Xiaodi questioned as she walked behind Li Ruansong while they roamed the market, she had several sticks of sugar-coated hawthorn in her hand and in her mouth making it hard for her to talk clearly.

"One would think that you were forced to come along if they didn't see you stuffing your self with sugar candies, it is really a pity that master has to take you along with him wherever he goes," Xi Feng remarked with his sword clutched at his side while Li Ruansong smiled at his comment, he had already known what Xiaodi next reaction would be.

She joined the sugar candies in both hands together and raised the other hand to hit Xi Feng but Li Ruansong quickly held her hand and pulled her to his side like a father who is gently cautioning his daughter.

"Stop being naughty," He remarked and patted her hand while she pouted her mouth and turned back to glare at Xi Feng who was still nodding his head at the spiritual beast turned human who is being pampered by her master like a child.

"Sly fox," Xi Feng muttered

"Eh...did you just call me a sly fox...master," Xiaodi complained while she sulled holding the hem of her master's dress.

"Xiaodi..." the fourth prince pronounced softly to caution her but she just folded her arms with her sugar-coated candies still in her hand, both men laughed at her childishness then they continued walking forward, leaving her behind.

She had expected her master to take her side as he has always done or at least try to soothe her but he unexpectedly walked away with Xi Feng and they are even laughing at her.

"hmmph!" she unfolded her hand and pulled all the sugar-coated hawthorn into her mouth before stomping her feet as she walked past them in an angry manner, the volume of Xi Feng laughter increased as he watched her walk past them in a fit of rage.

"Xi Feng..."

"I am sorry master but she is just too childish and I cannot hold myself from teasing her," Xi Feng apologised seeing that his master is back to being his spiritual beast doting master, Xiaodi is probably the most doted on spiritual beast in the world as far as those in the blossom Pavillion are concerned. She has always managed to get away with everything she does and Li Ruansong treats her like his biological sister, everyone in the blossom pavilion always cater to her needs to avoid her throwing a tantrum in the presence of the fourth prince but it has always been fun to tease her.

"Xiaodi is a spirit beast and her senses are not yet fully developed, she is still like a child so you all should stop teasing her," Li Ruansong said in a soft tone while he walked faster to catch up with Xiaodi but it didn't take much effort to find her since she was already distracted by the steamed buns stall in front of her but she didn't have any money with her to pay for it so she has to wait for Li Ruansong to find her like he always does since their senses are connected.

"Master!" she walked towards him excitedly, she nudged at his sleeve and pulled him to the steamed buns stall and pointed at the freshly cooked steamed buns with her mouth pouted and her lashes fluttering, he chuckled at her sudden cute act which has never failed its purpose then he gave her the whole pouch of money to order whatever she wants while Xi Feng widened his eyes at how generous his master is when it comes to the naughty spiritual beast.

Seeing his envious expression, she stuck out her tongue and waggled it with her eyes closed and her hands placed behind her ear while she shook them to annoy him, he widened his eyes and tilted his head in annoyance seeing how ridiculous she is now that her master is once again doting on her.

"Master, I want this, this and this," she said in an excited tone, pointing her finger at the steamed bun and some other pastries that are sold in the store.

"You can have them all, I will leave with Xi Feng, make sure to find me when you are done," the fourth prince instructed softly then he nodded at Xi Feng who nodded back at him with a serious expression which means that they are back to serious business.

"Hmmn," Xiaodi responded and turned to the stall owner to make her order while the fourth prince and Xi Feng walked away.

They walked past many shops and stalls while almost every woman's eyes were on them as they walked past, the people don't know that he is the owner of the blossom pavilion nor his identity as the fourth prince since no one has never seen his face but they are stunned by the handsome duo walking past, they are more mesmerized by the handsomeness of the man in front who seems to be a noble judging from how he is dressed.

His all-black dressing consisting of a black cape and black robe with a simple black pin to hold his hair in place while his coal-black hair relaxed on his back, the only thing tainting the all-black dressing is the gold waistband and the gold sleeve wrapped around his wrist.

As he walked past them in a domineering manner, the ladies giggled and tried to get a proper look at his face before he walks past them, with every step he took he managed to captivate their hearts in just a second, they held their handkerchief tightly in their hand while they smiled with a little bit of shyness to get his attention or at least receive a glance from him.

"Who is that man?" a young lady in a carriage asked, she looked out the window and noticed that all the ladies walking by are all staring at him even though he is almost out of sight so she couldn't help but be curious about this person.

"Young mistress, this man doesn't seem like someone who is familiar in Shannanxi, I have always run errands for you but I have never seen him so I don't know him but I suppose that is why so many women are looking at him," the young maid walking beside her carriage replied, the curious face of the young lady in the carriage glowed with a faint smile watching the man as her carriage went past him.

"Does young mistress want me to find out more about him?" the maid asked seeing the faint smile on her young mistress face, the young lady looked out the window again with a little hint of interest in this man showing on her face but the sight of him entering a brothel made her face go dark, she turned away from him with a frown on her face.

"Forget it, why will I take interest in a random stranger," she closed the window of the carriage and placed both of her hands on her laps.

"Men...always indulging in sensual pleasures," the young lady remarked.

The young and dignified ladies from prominent families frowned seeing the young men they were all drooling for entering Ruyi pavilion which is the most famous brothel in Shannanxi and is also known as a frequent visiting place for many prominent men, some even have to travel from the capital and other cities just to visit the brothel.

"Young master!!" the female entertainers quickly rushed to meet him as soon as he and Xi Feng entered the brothel, but Xi Feng quickly blocked them with the hand holding his sword stretched in front of the fourth prince, the women quickly halted their steps in front of him while they eyed Xi Feng maliciously for stopping them from gaining a handsome customer.

The fourth prince raised his hand to stop him from blocking them, then Xi Feng retreated behind him, the fourth prince gave them an inviting faint smile making them more drawn to him.

"Young master, why don't you come with me, I will..."

"come with me young master, I am one of the highest-ranking entertainers, I will take good care of you,"

"Young master!"

"Young master!"

"Young master!"

They were almost out of control since they weren't willing to give him a chance to speak, the guest at the pavilion was already curious to know which guest is causing a commotion in the brothel but many entertainers who were already serving other men quickly rushed to see the stunning and charming handsome young man who had just walked into the brothel with his not so bad bodyguard beside him.

Seeing the big commotion, the guests were already angry at how they were being ignored for a young man whose status is unknown but before they could do anything about it, a gentle and composed figure walked elegantly to the scene, as soon as she came close to them, the entertainer's quickly paved way for her in the middle.

Her light green dress sweeping the floor as she walked drew attention to her as she walked past the other male guest who had tried their best to get the opportunity to see her but failed several times without number, the gold accessories decorating and holding her hair in place dangled with every step she took and the forehead marking made her look even more beautiful.

"young master seems to be a new customer, is there any particular girl you desire or would you like me to pick one for you," the sweet and gentle mesmerizing voice said in a gentle and elegant manner, all the men were immediately drowned in the sweetness of her voice, even Xi Feng was almost carried away but the fourth prince remained unfazed.

"eh, who is this young man?"

"He must be someone of an important status since he can even make the most beautiful entertainer of Ruyi pavilion to personally come out to greet him,"

"I doubt it, I have never seen him even though I know all the sons of the high ranking ministers in Shannanxi,"

"Could it be that he is from the capital,"

"Probably, he is so lucky to receive such honour,"

"Miss, you are..." the fourth prince asked, he has visited the pavilion some time ago but he hasn't seen the lady standing in front of him before.

"What!"

"He doesn't even know the most famous entertainer of Ruyi pavilion,"

"He mustn't be from here,"

"Such a waste,"

The lady felt a bit embarrassed by his question since she is well known and sought after by many people including females but she still maintained a calm and gentle composure.

"I am Hua Mexiang, the premium entertainer of Ruyi pavilion seems like young master is indeed not familiar," she answered in a tone that shows that she slightly offended but Xi Feng just smirked at her answer.

{not familiar, my master is the owner of Ruyi pavilion, tch!"}

He commented inwardly!

"I would like to see the madam," Ruansong requested without paying much attention to her introduction even though he asked for it, making even the male guest offended by his indifference.

"Madam...young master, not just everyone can walk into Ruyi pavilion and request to see the madam, you had better return if you don't have any interest in the drinks or the women," she replied in a displeased tone then she turned to look at the entertainers who were still wishing they could have a chance to serve the handsome young man, she gave them a slight nod with a frown on her face, making them disperse while those who were previously serving some guest returned to their service.

"eh, mind your tone," Xi Feng cautioned the ignorant young lady who still isn't aware of his position which cannot be disclosed at least not yet.

"It is alright," the fourth prince said before the young lady could reply Xi Feng

"Miss, give this jade to your madam and tell her that a man is requesting to see her, she will tell you what to do then," the fourth prince said while Xi Feng stretched out his hand holding the jade with the shape of a maple leaf carved in the middle and suspended with a green fancy rope.

"Does young master think that my master is lacking jade, why will she be interested in such a simple and insignificant jade," she said with an arrogant tone attached to every word she said from her mouth, if their conversation was audible to the guests present then they would have known her true character.

"It won't hurt to try, would it?" Ruansong questioned, she was quite surprised at his calmness even though he is standing before her, she reluctantly collected the jade from Xi Feng and walked away, Xi Feng nodded his head at her arrogance as he watched her climb the stairs.

"master, why were you so lenient with that young lady, you are..."

"Mind your words,"

"Understood, but..."

"She is just an entertainer so there is no need to trouble myself, I still have to maintain a low profile so I cannot let anyone know of my relation with Ruyi pavilion, causing a scene here will only draw more attention," the fourth prince responded.
