"Why should I grace you with my presence? There are plenty of people who want to treat me to a meal, I’m not lacking in offers. If you want to take me out, you’ll have to get in line first." Rose chuckled.
"Get in line? I tend to cut in line rather than wait my turn. I wonder if the beautiful Rose would be willing to give me a chance to cut in," Lu Tianxing chuckled.
"I might let you cut in, but first you have to tell me, how is Bai Zhiqing in bed? Is she wild?"
"Uh! This... that... when the opportunity comes, I’ll definitely let you see for yourself."
Lu Tianxing was at a loss—how could he know if Bai Zhiqing was wild or not? But that night had definitely been wild.
With a tone no man could refuse, Rose said, "Well then, I look forward to it. Darling, you must be so looking forward to it, right? A threesome—just thinking about it must be so thrilling, almost unbearable excitement, huh?"
"Rose, can we be serious for a moment?"
Lu Tianxing showed a face of helplessness. Although Rose was his woman, he was not quite used to having her tease him.
"But husband, don’t you like it when I’m naughty?"
Rose giggled, "Husband, I’m waiting for you in Room One of Lingshui Xiangxie. You better hurry over. I’m so pretty, and if some ill-intentioned man tries to hit on me, I’d feel so... scared."
After hanging up the phone with Rose, Lu Tianxing thought for a moment, sent a text message to Bai Zhiqing, and then left Bai’s Group. Walking down the street, he headed straight for Lingshui Xiangxie.
Lingshui Xiangxie wasn’t too far from Bai’s Group; it was at most a fifteen-minute walk.
Turning a corner, Lu Tianxing’s brows suddenly furrowed; his keen perception made him aware that he seemed to be followed. He frowned slightly.
"Someone dares to follow me? Could it be someone from the Yanhuang Group? Impossible, the Yanhuang Group’s tracking skills wouldn’t be this poor."
"If it’s not someone from the Yanhuang Group, then who could it be? Could it be someone from the Zhao Family in Xiangjiang?"
Lu Tianxing paused, his brows creased, and a cold smile appeared on his face. Whoever it was that dared to follow him had better be prepared to face the consequences.
Behind Lu Tianxing, a young man in a suit pretended to check out the surrounding shops while keeping a close watch on every move Lu Tianxing made. When he saw Lu Tianxing turn into a less crowded street, the man frowned and quickly followed.
The man in the suit followed Lu Tianxing to a quiet corner only to find the streets deserted, without a single person in sight.
"Damn, it’s a trap, get out of here."
Panic crossed the man’s face as he immediately turned to leave.
"Going somewhere? Why not have a chat with me instead, and tell me why you’re following me?"
Suddenly, an indifferent voice echoed through the air.
The man in the suit’s expression changed drastically as he looked around fiercely, only to find his target leaning against the wall, smiling at him with a chilling look in his eyes. The man involuntarily shivered as he felt like prey being stalked by a predator, his hair standing on end.
"You... who are you?"
The man in the suit swallowed hard, unable to understand how Lu Tianxing had appeared when he was sure there had been no one there.
"Am I not your target?"
Lu Tianxing walked step by step toward the man in the suit.
"What... what are you talking about, I don’t understand, I’m just passing by, is it okay for you to walk down this road but not for me? Can’t I just pass by? You’re talking nonsense, you maniac."
The man’s face changed slightly, his words tumbling out as he glared at Lu Tianxing and turned to leave.
"Leave? Do you think you can just walk away without revealing who’s behind this?"
A bloodthirsty smile flashed across Lu Tianxing’s face, and with a flicker, he was beside the man in the suit. He poked the suit-clad man, gripped his terrified face, and walked on.
Soon, Lu Tianxing emerged from around the corner, his mouth curled with a chilling sneer. Behind him, a man lay in a pool of blood, his life or death unknown, his limbs contorted in an unnatural way, showing ghastly white bones.
"Sword Alliance, I hope you don’t provoke me. Otherwise, don’t blame me for wiping out the Sword Alliance."
Lingshui Xiangxie is a Modu top antiquity-styled Chinese restaurant with an exquisite environment—little bridges over flowing water, rockery, green trees, and everything you could wish for. Stepping in here, you would feel as if you’re not entering a restaurant, but a leisurely resort.
As Lu Tianxing entered Lingshui Xiangxie, the welcoming staff immediately showed a professional smile and bowed in greeting.
It was now mealtime, and Lingshui Xiangxie was almost fully seated. At a glance, hardly any seats were available.
"Good day, sir. How many are in your party? Did you happen to reserve a private room? Shall I take you there?"
At that moment, a woman in a cheongsam came over.
After a moment’s thought, Lu Tianxing said, "One. The private room has already been reserved, Room One."
"Room One? Sir, are you sure?"
The cheongsam-clad woman looked at Lu Tianxing in surprise, finding it hard to believe.
Lu Tianxing was taken aback, "Is there a problem?"
"No problem, sir. Please follow me."
The woman’s attitude suddenly became much more respectful, and her manner of speaking switched from ’you’ to ’you’ with honor.
There are many elegant private rooms at Lingshui Xiangxie, but Rooms One to Ten are typically not open to the public. To gain access to these rooms, money, power, and influence were essential requirements—without any one of them, you couldn’t get in.
The woman in the cheongsam could never have imagined a plainly dressed man receiving an invitation to dine in Room One.
However, she also knew that there were things she shouldn’t ask or even be privy to. She gestured Lu Tianxing to follow and led him toward Room One.
Following the woman, he passed through a corridor and came to a secluded path.
Room One, while called a private room, was actually a small bamboo hut, reminiscent of what an ancient knight-errant might build beside the water—green bamboo matched with flowing water beside it, giving it an antique charm and elegant feel. Through the bamboo-woven windows, one could see a woman inside, radiating deadly seduction, flashing a nation-falling, city-destroying smile upon seeing Lu Tianxing.
After sending the cheongsam woman away, Lu Tianxing entered with a faint smile, taken aback by Rose’s outfit for the day, his face showing a hint of surprise.
