Chapter 908: Soul-Stealing Bewitching Tune
"What’s the matter, Young Master Ye? Are you unwilling to be friends with Ruoyan? Or do you disdain me?"
Xuan Ruoyan immediately adopted a pitiful look, the expression on her face evoking a sense of pity.
"Of course not, it’s just that, Miss Xuan, we did not know each other before, I wonder why Miss Xuan would..." Ye Luo was not fooled by her expression. To tell the truth, after having seen so many beauties, his standards had become very discerning. Ordinary beauties no longer impressed him much, and although his current company was not ordinary, Ye Luo still had sufficient resistance.
"Is Young Master Ye puzzled by why I would suddenly invite you for a meal and want to become friends with you?" Xuan Ruoyan spoke up, finally getting to the point without beating around the bush.
"Mhm." Ye Luo nodded, gazing directly at her.
"Actually, I have heard of Young Master Ye for a quite a while. At the Situ patriarch’s birthday feast, you fought a major battle against the Situ family’s eldest young master, and later you boldly disrupted the Ji family young master’s engagement ceremony to take back your woman."
"There was also the battle at the Rejuvenation Pavilion against a disciple of a Goryeo medical master, where you upheld the prestige of Huaxia’s Traditional Medicine. I am well aware of all these matters and greatly admire Young Master Ye for them."
"I have always wanted to befriend you, Young Master Ye, but there wasn’t an opportunity. Tonight, I sought out this chance expressly to make friends with you. Oh, I should introduce myself first. My name is Xuan Ruoyan, an auctioneer at Shengtian Auction House."
Xuan Ruoyan looked at Ye Luo with an extremely sincere gaze. However, Ye Luo knew her motives were definitely not that simple. Such talk might deceive children, but to him, it was akin to treating him like a fool.
Nonetheless, Ye Luo did not expose her; instead, he wanted to see what this beauty was really up to.
Moreover, Ye Luo’s Clairvoyant Eye had already scrutinized her and found no True Qi or True Yuan—she was not a martial artist, so he naturally did not worry about her doing anything to him.
"Thank you for your appreciation, Miss Xuan. To you, I drink this cup!"
