Ji Yunxi immediately got out of his embrace and craned her neck to look outside.
There was a man making a racket downstairs of the Bamboo Charm Tower. Even though he was being held back, he still tried to rush in. However, it was hard to make out what he was saying.
"Is that... the elder of the Jiang family?"
Feng Xingzhi smiled. "He really doesn't look the part."
"I thought he'd be a refined and otherworldly person."
Feng Xingzhi paused. "No. I was also quite shocked when I saw him before. I didn't expect him to be so young."
Ji Yunxi continued to look down. A girl came out and said something to him. He immediately waved his hand impatiently.
"Azhi, let's go down and have a look."
The two leaped down from the window lightly.
There were quite a few onlookers downstairs. When they saw Ji Yunxi and Feng Xingzhi, they all gasped in surprise.
"Such lightness kung fu shows that they must have extremely high spiritual cultivation."
"Indeed. It's quite rare for a woman to be this capable these days."
The elder of the Jiang family looked up slightly. When he saw Feng Xingzhi, he was startled. He had seen this man in the Jiang family's mansion, but the woman beside him was quite unfamiliar.
The two landed gently on the ground. A girl, seeing that they were safe and looked calm, couldn't help but exclaim to Ji Yunxi, "Sister, you're so amazing!"
Ji Yunxi rarely felt a bit embarrassed. "You flatter me."
The girl couldn't help but sized them up. They had just leaped down from the building. They clearly had both money and great skills. Making friends with them would surely bring endless benefits.
So her attitude became even more amiable.
Ji Yunxi looked at the man who had caused the commotion before and asked, "Miss, sorry to bother you. We just heard the ruckus downstairs. What happened?"
The girl's face immediately turned ugly when she thought of the troublesome man. "Humph, to be honest with you, miss. This young master wanted to enter our Bamboo Charm Tower to watch the dance, but he refused to pay."
As she said this, she immediately glared at the man with disgust.
"The Bamboo Charm Tower is no ordinary place. How can he be so presumptuous!"
As soon as she said this, it immediately resonated with the onlookers.
"That's right! Just anyone wants to enter the Bamboo Charm Tower? A toad trying to eat swan meat!"
"If you don't have money, don't go in and watch!"
"It's really embarrassing. After being rejected, he still caused a scene at the door?"
As the saying goes, gossips can be terrifying. The onlookers' words made the elder of the Jiang family blush.
Ji Yunxi and Feng Xingzhi glanced at each other. They were both a bit confused. Logically speaking, as an elder of the Jiang family, he should receive the family's support. Did Jiang Yaoji secretly deduct his allowance?
But even if he didn't have the Jiang family's money, after so many years of practicing medicine around, he should have had quite a lot of income. How could he be so poor?
Perhaps sensing someone looking at him, the elder of the Jiang family suddenly fixed his eyes on Ji Yunxi. After looking at her for a while, he frowned and sized her up and down.
Feng Xingzhi didn't like his look. He immediately stepped in front of Ji Yunxi to block his unbridled gaze.
"Humph."
He turned his head, seemingly dissatisfied with Feng Xingzhi's attitude.
Ji Yunxi stepped forward and said, "Sir, do you want to go in and watch the dance?"
The man didn't answer.
"I happen to have some extra money. If you're willing..."
"No need. I'm not a beggar. It's just a music workshop, a place for entertainment. If I can't go in, so be it."
Hearing this, the girl's eyes immediately turned red. "You're so rude!"
Ji Yunxi shook her head repeatedly. The temperaments of the Jiang family were really worrying. Provoking others at the store's door. Was he afraid he wouldn't get beaten up?
"Forget it then. Since you're so self - important and can't accept others' help, let it be."
After saying that, Ji Yunxi pulled Feng Xingzhi back and ignored the elder of the Jiang family completely.
The man looked at their backs in shock. He recognized Feng Xingzhi at first sight. Wasn't this man in the Jiang mansion? Didn't he recognize me?
He quickly called out to Ji Yunxi, "Wait! If this beautiful young lady invites me, I naturally have no reason to refuse."
Feng Xingzhi's face instantly darkened. "Xixi, don't let him in."
Ji Yunxi also heard the disrespect in the man's words. She just smiled and didn't answer. Then she turned around and entered the Bamboo Charm Tower.
Feng Xingzhi didn't even look back at him until he entered the door. The elder of the Jiang family could only shake his hand angrily and turn away.
Back in the private room, Ji Yunxi immediately told Lu Shu to chase after him. "A Shu, make sure to keep a close eye on him and see where he goes."
Qing Xuan was worried and wanted to go with him, but Lu Shu refused, saying that too many people would be easy to expose.
Ji Yunxi had no intention of watching the singing and dancing. She asked the maid of the Bamboo Charm Tower to bring her paper and pen and wrote a few lines.
"Miss, please give this to the tower master." She said with a smile and put a silver note on the tray.
The maid lowered her head and said nothing throughout. But she immediately put the silver note into her bosom.
After the maid left, Qing Xuan curiously leaned over. "Master, what did you write?"
Ji Yunxi just smiled and didn't answer.
After a while, the maid came in. "Miss, the tower master invites you to the top floor for a chat."
Feng Xingzhi was a bit worried. After all, the identity of the tower master of the Bamboo Charm Tower was unknown. They didn't know if it was dangerous. Ji Yunxi's headache hadn't been cured yet, and they had a blood contract. Who knew if this person was good or bad.
Seeing his worried face, Ji Yunxi comforted him. "Azhi, it's okay. Don't worry. Since I dared to write and ask her to see me, I must have a plan. You just wait for me here."
Ji Yunxi followed the maid out of the private room and didn't notice a sneaky figure in a distant private room.
As soon as the figure saw Ji Yunxi leave, it immediately turned back to report.
"Send someone to follow her and find out what she's going to do."
The person sent his men out and then called for the maid.
"Miss, please invite Young Master Feng from the upper three rooms. I'm an old friend of his."
After the maid left, the person suddenly crushed the teacup in his hand.
Feng Xingzhi and Ji Yunxi were like conjoined twins, always entangled with each other.
She wanted to see how long they could last!
Ji Yunxi followed the maid upstairs. She had been to the top floor before, so she was quite familiar with the way.
But this sense of familiarity made the leading maid suspicious.
"It seems that Miss Ji is quite familiar with our Bamboo Charm Tower?"
Ji Yunxi's heart skipped a beat. She knew she had revealed herself. She smiled and said, "No. I'm just following the path."
She thought that it wasn't the right time to reveal her identity yet, so it was better to be careful.
Coincidentally, when she turned her head, Ji Yunxi suddenly found someone following her. She gently patted the maid's shoulder and immediately signaled her not to speak.
The maid also saw the figure behind them, and her eyes immediately darkened.
