Under Zi Lan's care, Feng Xiwu took off a few layers of thick clothing and changed into a thin, light colored dress. The weather in August was as hot as ever.

Within the flower clusters, a series of zither notes floated past. On the brown stage, two slender fingers continuously fiddled with the strings. A crisp and pleasant sound enveloped the entire Moon Dance Hall.

"After not seeing for a while, little sister Xi Wu's zither skill has improved a lot. It's like a lofty mountain and flowing water. When it's high, it's not gentle at all, but when it's calm, it's still turbulent. I wonder which blind person offended little sister Xi Wu?"

When the song ended, Mu Hanxuan, who was not far away, clapped and walked in with a face full of smiles.

Feng Xiwu who was recognized as the zither did not show any signs of shyness, she still sat straight, and acted as though there was no one around, and continued to lightly stroke the zither strings.

Seeing Feng Xiwu ignoring her, Mu Hanxuan tried to speak again, "If Little Sister Xi Wu doesn't want to marry, Cousin …"

"Can you marry me?" Without waiting for Mu Hanxuan to speak, Feng Xiwu took the lead.

Mu Hanxuan choked and stood in place, the four words' plead 'were stuck in his throat, and he swallowed it down.

"..." "How does little sister Xi Wu feel about her future brother-in-law?" Mu Hanxuan did not give up and continued to probe.

Feng Xiwu raised her eyebrows, and a trace of a smile appeared on her lips this time, "If cousin cousin likes it, then I can give the dance to you."

Mu Hanxuan was completely defeated by her, and helplessly said, "Cousin is a man, do you think little sister Xi Wu can do it?"

"Not at all, as long as my cousin likes it," Feng Xiwu said as she looked into Mu Hanxuan's eyes, the smile in his eyes growing wider. She picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip.

Zi Lan knew her young miss's ability to tease others, so she covered her mouth and laughed.

"Stop!" Mu Hanxuan quickly changed the topic, "Little sister Xi Wu, I actually came to call you out to eat, let's go eat."

If he were to continue, he was afraid that his sister would spew out another sentence that would overturn his view of the world.

"Elder Brother Xuan!" The moment Feng Xiwu got up, she heard Feng Yuan's surprised and happy voice not far away, "Yuan heard from a servant that the Elder Brother Xuan is here, and had specially come to take a look, I never thought that the Elder Brother Xuan was actually here."

Feng Yuan's light yellow dress looked extremely comfortable in the summer, her exquisite makeup made her look even more beautiful, as if she was a little girl.

"Little Sister Yuan, long time no see." Mu Hanxuan smiled and nodded, as he greeted politely, but his gaze was a bit distant.

Feng Xiwu suddenly jumped. She had witnessed Feng Yuan's ability to pester until the death before, so she did not want to implicate him in the least.

"Since Yuan is here, big sister coincidentally has some business, please greet your cousin on behalf of big sister."

"Ai!" "Yiwu, you can't be like this …" Heartless and unrighteous.

Mu Hanxuan forcefully swallowed the latter half of his sentence. His upbringing made it impossible for him to say such words in front of Feng Yuan, even if Feng Yuan kept on pestering him, to the point where he couldn't bear to disturb Feng Yuan even after helping her father hide in the Jiangnan border region.

"Don't worry, sister, Yuan will definitely do well."

Feng Yuan laughed and winked at Mu Hanxuan. However, Mu Hanxuan felt like he was being watched by a wolf and shivered.

"Miss, aren't you going to have lunch?"

Zi Lan was a little curious. She knew that the young miss did not like the Second Miss, but with the Old Master and Young Master Mu present, wouldn't the young miss give them some face?

"I'm not hungry," Feng Xiwu stood still and suddenly asked, "Black Wolf, how's the investigation going?"

Zi Lan left on her own, guarding the door.

In the darkness, the silhouette of a person gradually became clearer. A man dressed in black kneeled down on one knee. "This subordinate is incompetent. I was unable to find the origin of the person."

"Nothing?"

The man paused for a moment and continued, "I can only find out that that person had gone to the west bamboo forest before. He had stayed at a relay station before. Apart from that, all traces of him have been erased, leaving no traces behind."

Feng Xiwu's expression was still calm, her white jade fingers gently rubbing the patterns on the surface of the cup. Black Wolf was unable to guess what she was thinking, and could only quietly kneel on the ground, waiting for her response.

The room was extremely quiet, the faint yellow light made the entire room especially bright. Feng Xiwu slowly sipped on her tea, then waved his hand: "Since you can't find anything, then forget it, you can leave first, don't make any noise."
