Chapter 152 - Grateful

The word 'Ugly Sister' is not exaggerated to describe her, Bei Li Yan is so beautiful make people wonder is he a man or woman at first glance if they not notice his body proportion with his looks he can seduce both men and women easily, when Zhao Li Xin have 'Don't come near me!' vibes around him on contrary Bei Li Yan have 'Come at your own risk' vibes around him.

Rather than pretend to be his sister is better to pretend to be his maids, she thought that's more believable, Bei Li Yan saw the hesitation in her eyes, he clenched his chest with sorrow expression

"Is Miss Luo didn't want me to come with you?" he acted like a pitiful young concubine.

"Hahaha~" Lory smiles dryly, she scratched her head awkwardly "Fine….let me dress up a bit" she helplessly surrender.

Bei Li Yan smiles excitedly "I'll be waiting outside"

Lory close the door then she shakes her head helplessly she opens her wardrobe then she choose her dress carefully, forget about being lowkey if she walks with someone like Bei Li Yan is like walking with signboard said 'Watch Me!' the difference between walk with Bei Li Yan and Zhao Li Xin is like the difference between walking with powerful CEO and famous superstar.

So why not take this chance to doll yourself up, she wears white and royal blue color embroidery with delicate lily flower, the dress is tight by deep blue silk sash, she styles her hair slightly better than she used to late she wear the hairpin and jewelry Zhao Li Xin give to her, after she put a thin make up she ready to go.

Bei Li Yan waiting for him near the front gate he smiles when he saw her walk towards him but on the other hand Lory feel her heart drop to the ground, compare to Bei Li Yan her one hour dress up is mean nothing in front of him, she still looks ordinary compared to Bei Li Yan outstanding beauty.

But what can she do? This is why normal women didn't take walk with beauty Queen…. it makes them feel sad.

"Goodness Miss Luo, you look so beautiful, I hope Milord didn't jealous of me" he smiles sweetly.

Lory mouth twitch 'Shut up beautiful!!'

Bei Li Yan help her to get on the carriage, Mong Yi becomes the coachman and more shadow guard follow her from distance, compare when they guarding Zhao Li Xin they are more vigilant and aware when protecting her, more Hei Shen sect member undercover as civilian has secure the perimeter where she might go, she is more protected than a noble daughter.

"He gave you Xin Xshen token?" Bei Li Yan smiles calmly he already knew about this so he is not surprised, he just confuses why lory never wears it from the beginning.

"Yes, yesterday he just explained it to me what this token mean….I almost lost it" Lory sigh.

"What, you almost lost it!" Bei Li Yan gasped but he didn't blame her it's his Lord fault giving something without explained anything, so many pieces of jewelry had sent to Lory, of course, she can't differentiate the value of everything she got without explanation, he had underestimated his Lord laziness.

Lory laugh about it while Bei Li Yan massage his temples but then he let a long sigh "But I'm glad is in your hand now, with that token no one will question your position in Hei Shen Sect ever again"

"Hm, he told me that too" Lory smiles softly, she appreciated his consideration to her.

Lory wants to take a stroll so the carriage stop near the center of the market in the city, Bei Li Yan helps her climb down and just like she thought all eyes are on them, Lory already expected this so she didn't make a fuss.

They visit small stall who sells candy and a small snack, she also visits stores who sell jewelry compare what she had, of course, this small shop cannot match what she had from Zhao li Xin but she only does 'window shopping' and she curious what common people used to sell.

She comes in and out the stores just to satisfied her curiosity, she also visit the stores who sell fabric and embroidery, every time she enters the shop the shopkeeper would welcome her with big smiles plastered on their face because just with only one glance they knew her dress is made from very high-quality fabric that only a few people could have it.

The jewelry on her hair is also exquisite the intricate craft and the gems stone the artiste made for one single hairpin is one without flaw make the craft is not a piece of simple jewelry but a masterpiece that only royalty and beyond who can possess it.

Lory knew the jewelry she wears is above any normal jewelry she used to saw in Lao Manor but she does not comprehend the real value the jewelry or even the dress she wears, Zhao Li Xin is succeeded to make her numb with all the luxurious around her she started to think is become normal.

Bei Li Yan follows Lory from behind when Lory's leg grew tired "Should we rest somewhere?" she asked Bei Li Yan.

"We can go to Fu Hua tea house" Bei Li Yan pinch his chin while suggesting it.

Fu Hua tea house is owned by Tang Yi Mei she reluctant to return there "Let's find somewhere else" It is not like she afraid to meet her she just to lazy to encounter this childish bickering.

Bei Li Yan stifles he knew Fu Hua belongs to Tang Yi Mei he just wants to tease her a little but the lady brushes it off with casual expression make him a little bit disappointed "Fine…do you mine if that place is small?"

"No problem, as long the food and the tea are good" she raised her eyebrows playfully.

"Of course, let's go!" he winked at her.

Bei Li Yan lead her to small tea house who is a lot more modest compare to Fu Hua red building, they arrived at the small gate with Yanwo name imprint in the small wooden placated, Bei Li Yan knocked the small gate immediately a young male servants about thirteen years old open the door, he smiles excitedly when he see Bei Li Yan face.

"Master Bei, you came!" the boy smiles happily, then he realizes another lady is beside Bei Li Yan which is never happened before, he glances at Lory curiously.

"This is my little sister," said Bei Li Yan "Take me to the usual place!"

"Yes, master Bei!" the boy give Lory one more look before he leads Bei Li Yan to enter the te house, Lory could have to guess the boy might pity her for not as beautiful as her brother, Lory sigh inwardly.

They follow the small stone-paved on their left and right they are surrounded by flower bush and bamboo three then they crossed small bridged above the Koi pond, she can hear the sounds of birds and fish make ripple in the water, the air around this place is quiet and serene is so much different with the hustle and bustle outside.

They arrived at the wooden house with only a few square tables to entertain customer, but the place is beautiful with a lot of painting in the wall and a few calligraphy with a few small bonsai is on the stone table in the garden looks like is on display for whoever might admire it.

"It's a very good place, why Zhao Li Xin didn't take me here before" she grumbles, she rather went to this place than Fu Hua.

"Because this place is only famous among old scholar, Milord might think a young girl like you might not fond this kinda place," said Bei Li Yan.

"No way, this place is great!" Lory eyes wandering to all the painting in the wall and the small bonsai is so unique she can't help to admire it.

The waiter brew the tea right next to her, she can smell the sweet fragrant coming from the tea but what surprised her is the color o her tea is light pink just like cherry blossom flower, she amaze she can't wait to taste it, the waiter then served the warmed tea in a small white jade cup then she bow herself courteously before she left.

"I like sweet too so this tea might suit you," said Bei Li Yan.

Lory sips her tea and the smooth sweetness spread in her mouth, it is sweet even without honey or sugar. Everything about this tea is beautiful and sweet she can satisfy more.

Her eyes brimmed with happiness even Bei Li Yan feel the tea is better than it used to "I'm glad you like it" he said with charming smiles.

"Yes, perhaps I will ask Li Xin to purchased it for me" she giggles.

"He might buy the whole stores for you" Bei Li Yan can imagine his Lord over the top pampering.

"Then I will say you already buy it for me, so he won't make a fuss about it" she smacked her lips while said it.

"You want me stealing the Lord 'thunder, this subordinated did not dare" he looks displeased.

"....." she reluctantly believed him.

Bei Li Yan take another sip before he continues "Young Miss, I want to express my gratitude for helping Jiang Jin Wei and his stupid little sister"

"Hm?" Lory looks blank.

Bei Li Yan chuckles, this lady seems really not mind it about what happened "If not because of you persuade Milord, I think Jin Wei would stay in Hei Shen sect anymore" he twirls the empty cup on his hand "Among us Jiang jin Wei is the most upright and honest one and he also worships Milord the most, if Milord cast him out I don't know what would happen to that 'muscle head' person" he seems murmured to himself.

"It's surprised me he can get away only with fifty times canning, and that stupid girl only needs to kneel for three days on the floor" Bei Li Yan shakes his head with discontent.

But lory stunned when they hear about the punishment but then she realizes as cultivator that kind of punishment is nothing. Secretly she sighs in relief.

"Well is not entirely their fault isn't it?" Lory brushes his compliment towards her.

Bei Li Yan prop his chin while looks upset "This Tang Mei Yi is more scheming than I though"
