Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

Chapter 110 Am I not a beauty?

The inn was enormous, with five floors, and it was mealtime, so there was a huge flow of people coming and going.

Guan Xun went up to the third floor and casually found a seat by the window. Because of her ordinary appearance, no one noticed her at all.

People in a hurry usually dine in the lobby on the second floor. Those on the third floor and above are mostly wealthy people with plenty of time. Listening to their gossip can yield some useful information.

Sure enough, after sitting down for only a short while, the area around me was already full of idle people.

She ordered a pot of tea and, as she poured and drank it, took in all the noise and conversations around her.

"Since yesterday, there have been many more people in the city, and it has become quite lively."

"After all, it's only half a month until the Burning Phoenix Manor opens for business once every five years. Who doesn't know that it's open for a limited time? If you don't make it there in time, you'll have to turn back before you even get to the manor gate, hahaha."

"Even if you make it in time, it won't be of much use. Although the main gate of Burning Phoenix Manor is open for a whole day, the entrance to the inner manor appears at irregular intervals, right? With a bunch of people waiting at the main gate, how many can actually manage to break in when the entrance appears?"

Upon hearing this, Guan Xun frowned. It turned out that after arriving at Burning Phoenix Manor, he would have to spar with everyone present before he could enter the inner manor, which was the real Burning Phoenix Manor.

And that entrance appears randomly?

So complicated?

"I almost broke in last time, but I was pushed down by that damned third young lady of the Holy Light Palace branch family. I was injured and had to recuperate for a full half month. But she wasn't much better off. She was no match for the people of the Heavenly Pole Palace. If you ask me, the people of the branch family can never compare to the main family."

"Isn't this obvious? Those who are assigned to the branch family are all those who can't stand firm in the main family. Their strength is naturally incomparable, and they can only run rampant in these places. However, the more outstanding young generation of the three palaces should all participate, so the Third Miss is probably going to miss out again."

“It’s only been two days since her brothers and sisters were brutally murdered on the street, and she’s already thinking about these things. I heard that someone ran into her at the jewelry shop yesterday, and she was smiling quite happily, without a trace of sadness.”

"Speaking of which, is the girl on the wanted poster over there at the city gate really that powerful? Killing three people in a row, including an elder..." The man in black picked up his sake and took a sip, shaking his head, clearly not quite believing it.

A burly man in blue robes put down his chopsticks, poured himself a cup of wine, and stepped forward: "Need you even ask?! I saw it with my own eyes. That girl looked to be only seventeen years old, absolutely gorgeous, and she was swift and decisive in her actions!"

"Just like that, with a snap, that young master from the Holy Light Hall was dead." The burly man raised his hand as if to choke his neck, becoming more and more agitated as he spoke, his face turning red. "The elder was even less of a concern; one look from him and he was gone! The scene was truly gruesome."

Guan Xun lowered his eyes, a helpless smile playing on his lips.

Outrageous.

Those nearby, who were already listening intently, gasped in astonishment at the burly man's vivid description.

Such formidable strength at just seventeen years old...

They simply couldn't believe it.

Even the younger generation of the Three Palaces doesn't have such terrifying cultivation...

I have no idea where this person came from.

"Hey, do you think that girl is going to Burning Phoenix Manor this time?" someone asked curiously.

"It's possible she's heading straight for Burning Phoenix Manor, otherwise why would she appear at this exact time? I wonder if she'll run into the Third Miss."

"It's hard to say. Look at her bounty poster. Someone has already organized a temporary team to search for her. If she shows her face now, wouldn't she be walking into a trap? No matter how strong she is, she can't possibly withstand the siege of so many powerful people."

……

The group continued gossiping.

Guan Xun took a sip of tea, his eyes flashing slightly. Was he going to organize a team to capture her?

They're really putting in a lot of effort.

Thanks to Xiaoyu for helping her with the illusion, otherwise she would have been so entangled in trouble that she couldn't move. Thinking this, she reached out and touched her face again.

At this moment.

A hand with distinct knuckles appeared in the distance, holding a folding fan. With a flick of the wrist, the fan lightly tapped the table, accompanied by a somewhat familiar, nonchalant tone.

"My beauty, are you waiting for me here?"

……

Her striking red dress immediately drew attention when she appeared on the third floor.

Some women were so stunned by that devilishly handsome face that they couldn't recover for a long time and let out soft screams.

Everyone was somewhat taken aback when he walked straight toward the girl in the white dress sitting by the window.

When he uttered the word "beauty," the entire third floor fell silent. Even the waiter pouring tea stood frozen in place.

The few people who had been gossiping nearby were now speechless, their gazes sweeping over Guan Xun's face before turning to look at the man with a strange expression.

beautiful?

This devilishly handsome young man is calling a plain-looking girl, the kind you see everywhere on the street, "beauty"...

The crowd snapped out of their daze and erupted in an uproar.

Everyone whispered that the young master must have something wrong with his eyesight.

Duan Huaiyan's ears twitched slightly, taking in every word, a hint of confusion welling up in his eyes.

Among the gossiping crowd, someone recognized him and immediately lowered their voice in surprise, saying, "I recognize him. He's from the Heavenly Pole Palace. I ran into him at the Burning Phoenix Manor."

"Wow, the Heavenly Palace didn't have a branch in Moxi City, right? Could it be from the main family?"

"You've also come for the Burning Phoenix Manor?"

"Isn't that roundabout route a bit too far...?"

"You're silly, you probably just came back from the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons."

"But do the people of the Heavenly Palace have such unique tastes? They can even call someone a beauty?"

……

Duan Huaiyan seemed oblivious to the whispers around him. He turned and sat down opposite Guan Xun, stroking the little fox in his arms before looking up and saying, "Beautiful..."

His gaze, which had been fixed on Guan Xun's face, suddenly stopped. His words caught in his throat, and even the smile on his lips abruptly vanished.

"Young Master, are you calling me?" Guan Xun smiled somewhat embarrassedly, raising his hand to touch his face, seemingly a little shy. "No one has ever called me that before. You are the first."

Duan Huaiyan was even more stunned, finally understanding why the people around him were talking like that.

The girl's back view looked exactly the same as the previous girl, but her appearance was completely different, and even her voice was different.

And the tone of voice...

That's the kind of person who arrogantly calls herself "Grandma," how could she possibly say such a thing, or make such a coy gesture?

"Sorry, it seems I mistook you for someone else."

These words immediately put everyone around at ease; it seemed the young master's eyes were not faulty.

"Admit your mistake?!" Guan Xun covered her mouth with her fingertip, her eyes filled with a pitiful look. "Don't you think I'm a beauty in your eyes, young master?"
