The aroma filled the main hall, and the exquisite dishes exuded an alluring luster, but neither of them were focused on these delicacies.
"Wei, Mr. Wei, you mean..."
"Yes, I do have a way to remove the scars on your face."
Wei Changtian nodded and gently put down his chopsticks.
This thing is indeed not difficult for him, and he can even do it now as long as he is willing.
[Hundred-year-old Blood Drainage Fruit: elixir (earth level), crush and apply, can heal all external injuries within one breath, 50 points]
Compared with the mica mushroom that "can cure all diseases", although the effect of this blood root fruit is much worse, it is also much cheaper.
But no matter how cheap it is, it cannot be paid in vain, and as for what Wei Changtian wants to get from Ning Yuke...
"Mr. Wei, what do you want me to do?!"
Ning Yuke leaned forward slightly, and her breathing became a little rapid.
Wei Changtian said in his heart that women are indeed willing to pay any price to become beautiful, so he answered:
"I want you to go to a place and pick up something for me."
"Where to go? What to pick up?"
"I can't tell you this yet, but..."
Wei Changtian pondered for a moment and continued: "But there may be some dangers in this matter."
"Danger?"
"Um."
Wei Changtian nodded, looked directly at Ning Yuke and said word by word: "Maybe he will die."
"..."
Ning Yuke was speechless for a moment, but Wei Changtian didn't rush her and just continued to finish his words.
"You are not guaranteed to die. In fact, there is almost a 90% chance that you will be safe and sound."
"This matter is not urgent. The princess can think about it for a few days and then tell me after she has thought it through."
"And as long as the princess agrees, I will help you remove the scar immediately."
"..."
After Wei Changtian finished speaking, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating again, without any guilt in his heart for "taking advantage of others' danger".
She had no obligation to help Ning Yuke in the first place, and now that the pros and cons have been clearly explained to her, even if Ning Yuke did die because of this... it was her own choice.
At least I didn't lie to her.
Time passed little by little, and Ning Yuke just sat there blankly. It wasn't until Wei Changtian had almost finished a bowl of rice that he softly said:
"Mr. Wei, can I ask a question?"
"Just ask."
Wei Changtian nodded and could roughly guess what Ning Yuke wanted to ask.
It must be something like "Why do I have to get that thing?", "What exactly is the danger?" or something like that.
But...he guessed wrong this time.
Ning Yuke did not ask any of Wei Changtian's expected questions, but lowered his eyes and said softly:
"Mr. Wei, is that thing... very important to you?"
"..."
Wei Changtian's eyes froze, and he answered slowly after a long while.
"Yes, it's very important."
"That......"
Ning Yuke raised her head and gave the answer quietly but firmly.
"I promise."
...
...
In the time of Xu, it was in the south of Shuzhou City, Fuyanfang.
Today is the first day of November, which is not actually a festival, but the entire Fuyanfang is decorated with lanterns and colorful lights and is very lively.
This is considered a unique tradition in Shuzhou.
In the early years, most of the farmers in Shuzhou went to the city to sell grain in late October and early November. If it was a good harvest year and the sales money was more, these farmers would spend some money in the city.
Buy some fabrics for your family to make new clothes, buy some cheap jewelry for your wife, go to the brothel to treat yourself... It feels a bit like the "Double Eleven" in the previous life.
Since Fuyanfang is the "commercial and entertainment center" of Shuzhou City, basically just looking at whether Fuyanfang is hot or busy during this time every year can tell how this year's grain harvest will be.
Later, the government simply decided to hold a lantern festival in Fuyanfang on the first day of November every year, in order to bring a good omen of "good weather".
Although it is called a lantern festival, it is actually similar to a temple fair. There are stalls selling all kinds of snacks, buskers who wield swords and guns, and charlatans who help people tell fortunes and fortunes.
Wei Changtian was not very interested in this, and after walking around for a while he felt a little bored.
However, Ning Yuke looked very interested. Her eyes exposed outside the veil kept looking around, as if she found everything interesting.
I guess it’s because I don’t go out much.
"Miss Yuke..."
After walking for a while, Wei Changtian turned to Ning Yuke and said, "There is a teahouse ahead. Let's go in and have a rest."
Because he was outside, he didn't call Ning Yuke "princess", and Ning Yuke seemed to like this more intimate title, and nodded with a smile:
"Well, it happens that there are lantern riddles over there. How about I compete with the young master and see who can guess the most?"
"I can't guess lantern riddles."
Wei Changtian shook his head honestly, saying that besides reciting poems, he could also guess JB lantern riddles.
However, Ning Yuke just thought he was being modest and quickly pulled him into the teahouse and stood in front of a row of colorful lanterns.
There were not many people around, only a few young men and women in luxurious clothes were frowning and thinking hard.
It is estimated that the lantern riddles here are relatively difficult and ordinary people cannot guess them.
Isn’t this just trying to catch a duck?…
Wei Changtian touched his nose and looked helplessly at the small note hanging under a yellow lantern in front of him.
[The left side has less than one thousand, the right side has more than ten thousand]
What is this?
There is no doubt that the first question stumped Wei Changtian, but Ning Yuke only thought about it for four or five breaths before walking towards the next lantern with a smile.
Good guy, have you guessed this?!
Wei Changtian suddenly felt that his intelligence had been insulted, so he also got excited about the lantern riddle and still stood there thinking hard.
Look at the meaning of the question... This character should have a left-right structure, and the left part has fewer strokes than the character "千", and the right part has more strokes than the character "万".
Um......
Although he knew the idea, he still couldn't guess it after thinking for a long time. When he looked up again, he found that Ning Yuke had already reached the fifth lantern riddle.
Pull it down, I gave up.
Shaking his head, Wei Changtian was going to find a place to sit down and wait for a while.
But at this moment, he saw a young man approaching Ning Yuke, holding his hands and saying something.
It should be a conversation.
After all, although Ning Yuke is wearing a veil, her overall temperament is still lacking.
I don't know if Ning Yuke would suddenly take off his veil, whether this young man would be shocked.
Wei Changtian curled his lips, and as he walked that way, a bunch of "classic" plots appeared in his mind.
For example, the young master ordered his guards to beat him, but he was killed instead.
Another example is that the young master wanted to compete with himself in literary talent, but he shocked everyone with a good poem.
By the way, if I have to memorize poems later, which one would be better to memorize?
Xin Qiji's song "The Blue Jade Case: Yuan Xi" is good and appropriate for the occasion.
The crowd searched for him thousands of times, but suddenly looking back, there was that person, in the dimly lit place... Didn't this make Ning Yuke faint?!
"Master Wei..."
Ning Yuke's voice reached his ears, and Wei Changtian came back from his "beautiful imagination" and raised his eyes to look at the young master, preparing to start showing off after he was rude.
But who would have thought that the young master just looked at him and then hurriedly bowed his head and apologized:
"Ah! I didn't know this girl came with my brother. I'm so offended. Please forgive me!"
