Chapter 1994: Unshaken While in Her Lap

Qing Yan is also an assassin trained by the Red House.

However, her current level is low; she can only be considered the lowest tier within the Red House system and cannot undertake high‑difficulty missions.

Feng Hong Xiu is not only the pavilion master and chief Administrator here, but also the highest‑ranked gold‑medal assassin among the Red Luan Pavilion killers.

Feng Hong Xiu then asked her, "Sister, I have a task for you today; are you willing to carry it out?"

"Sister, just give the order; Qing Yan will brave fire and water without hesitation!"

Qing Yan replied resolutely.

Feng Hong Xiu smiled and said to her, "Although you have been undergoing assassination training, this mission carries little danger; it only requires you to give up a woman's most precious thing."

You are no longer a child; it's time for you to marry.

I will find a suitable man for you; you will stay by his side and gather some intelligence.

That will also give you a home, which is far better than spending your whole life trembling as an assassin!"

"Ah?

Sister wants me to marry?"

Qing Yan was indeed very surprised.

"What do you think of Young Master Ye today?"

"I think he not only looks good, but also is wealthy and influential; in the future you will have no worries about food and clothing!"

Feng Hong Xiu asked her again.

Qing Yan's face flushed slightly.

Regarding Ye Liuyun, she could not say she felt any affection, nor did she dislike him.

It was just that the news came so suddenly that it caught her off guard.

"Sister wants me to become his woman in order to gather some intelligence?"

She also confirmed this with Feng Hong Xiu.

Feng Hong Xiu shook her head and said, "If you can obtain information, that's better; if not, it doesn't matter."

I just think that he will rise as a new power in the future, and perhaps we will have opportunities to cooperate later!

Even if there are other women around him, as long as he sees you and recalls the Red Luan Pavilion, that will be enough.

For you, this is also a good thing; it's far better than you constantly killing or staying here to receive clients! What do you think?"

Qing Yan was also a little stunned.

She had been an orphan since childhood, raised inside the Red Luan Pavilion, and was mentally prepared for either going on a lethal assassination mission or serving clients.

But she never expected that one day the Red Luan Pavilion would have her follow a man.

So she replied blankly, "I will follow Sister Feng Hong Xiu's arrangement!"

"Very well, then sister has arranged it for you.

Tonight you should give yourself to him! He will leave here tomorrow; seize the chance and strive for him to take you away with him tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

Qing Yan gave a brief assent and then stepped back.

In her heart, she still regarded it as a mission to carry out.

In fact, she felt a bit relieved; following Ye Liuyun was better than serving various men.

Although she is a hostess and also a Red Luan Pavilion‑trained assassin, if she ever meets a wealthy and influential client, she could still be asked to share a bed, and then she would not be able to preserve her chastity.

She just hadn't expected that what she thought was merely entertaining an ordinary client would ultimately change her fate.

She walked toward Ye Liuyun's Side Courtyard, feeling neither nervous nor despondent, but rather grateful that she would finally be able to leave this place.

She still dared not ask Ye Liuyun about his background.

But judging from the pavilion master's attitude toward Ye Liuyun and his strength, he is certainly not a disciple of an ordinary family; she should not worry about money in the future.

"I just don't know what his temperament is like?"

Qing Yan felt a little uneasy.

When a brothel woman is killed, as long as the client can pay, the matter will eventually be swept under the rug.

She has seen every kind of pervert in the brothel.

Especially those who do business with the Red House are usually Martial Cultivators who kill without blinking.

Lost in her wild thoughts, she unwittingly arrived in front of Ye Liuyun's Side Courtyard.

Two maids stood at the doorway; seeing her arrive, they quickly paid their respects.

"Where is the esteemed guest?"

She asked the two maids.

"He said he wants to soak in the spirit pool, so we should give him some privacy!"

The maid at the entrance replied.

"He seems to have decent character!"

Qing Yan thought to herself, stepping forward to go inside.

"Sister Qing Yan, should we report this?"

One maid asked proactively.

Qing Yan was about to agree when she suddenly remembered that Feng Hong Xiu had told her to offer herself to Ye Liuyun tonight.

"No need, I'll go find him directly!"

Qing Yan instructed.

"Yes!"

The two maids both answered "Yes!" in unison, standing still.

Qing Yan then walked into the Side Courtyard by herself.

Turning around the front courtyard, he saw Ye Liuyun with his hair draped over, soaking in the spirit pool.

Ye Liuyun was at that moment closing his eyes to rest.

He hadn't expected anyone to barge in directly.

This was Red Luan Pavilion's territory, and no one knew he had come here, so he didn't pay much attention.

But when Qing Yan entered the courtyard, he still noticed.

Ye Liuyun opened his eyes, curiously asked Qing Yan, "Miss Qing Yan?

Why have you come back again?

Anything the matter?"

Qing Yan's face was also flushed.

Although she had prepared herself mentally, it was still her first time doing this, and she said shyly, "I have come to serve Young Master Ye's rest!"

"Hm?"

Ye Liuyun was also a bit stunned.

He didn't understand the customs here; he only thought Qing Yan was a receptionist, not a prostitute.

So when Qing Yan said she would serve him "rest", he didn't quite understand what that meant.

Qing Yan silently resolved in her heart to complete the task given by Feng Hong Xiu, and immediately tore her top up to her waist.

Ye Liuyun, seeing this, reacted quickly and stopped her, saying, "Miss Qing Yan, if I said something that caused you a misunderstanding, I apologize.

However, I don't need you to serve me that way!"

At the same time, Ye Liuyun immediately released a realm pressure, restraining Qing Yan, preventing her from taking off more clothing.

"Young Master Ye, are you rejecting me?"

Qing Yan hadn't expected Ye Liuyun to be indifferent to her.

She prided herself that her looks, skin, and figure were top‑tier in this Red Luan Pavilion; otherwise she wouldn't have been assigned as a welcoming receptionist.

She had also seen many guests, and witnessed those lecherous gazes from men.

Yet from Ye Liuyun's eyes, she could see no lewd intent.

"No, no!"

Ye Liuyun hurriedly explained, "It's not a matter of rejection at all.

I have no other thoughts about you!"

"Alas!"

Qing Yan let out a long sigh.

She felt she had failed terribly.

Even after stripping before a man, she still couldn't spark any interest.

Yet she still had a mission to complete.

So she had to change tactics immediately, kneeling before Ye Liuyun, pleading:

"I, Qing Yan, am willing to serve Young Master Ye for a lifetime, even as a cow or a horse, without complaint.

I also hope Young Master Ye can grant me this, and take me away from Red Luan Pavilion!"

Ye Liuyun internally didn't want to deal with these trivial matters.

If he were to rescue everyone he meets, there are so many people in Red Luan Pavilion that he couldn't help them all.

But the current situation must be resolved first.

So he had to tell Qing Yan, "Put your clothes back on first, and speak properly."

Hearing that, Qing Yan stood up and pulled her clothing back up.
