Chapter 60 - Mrs. Wang who is a hospitable guest
"En, I am already here, does Miss Ah Zhu intend to chase this guest away like this?" Ling Xiao said indifferently, as if he did not care about the awkwardness at all.
Seeing that Ling Xiao was so thick-skinned that he did not want to leave, Ah Zhu had no other choice but to explain: "How could it be, of course we welcome Sect Master Ling, but we do not have the final say in this matter, even if Lady Wang did not know you were coming."
"It doesn't matter. In any case, you guys are here to see the Mu Rong family Master, right?" Ling Xiao smiled.
"It's alright, I came here myself, of course I couldn't blame Miss Ah Zhu." Ling Xiao smiled.
Since Madam Wang and the Mu Rong family were not directly related, then why was she being so harsh on her? Furthermore, when the truth of Ah Zhu's lies was exposed, they should be the ones feeling awkward.
After following the servant into the Mantua Villa, he immediately entered into a sea of flowers. Seeing so many beautiful flowers, Ling Xiao's eyes lit up.
Smelling the soothing fragrance in the air, Ling Xiao couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Miss Ah Zhu, you should have come from here before as well, right? The fragrance of the flowers on your body is pretty strong, it should be from that type of flowers, right? " Ling Xiao pointed to a cluster of unknown flowers that was a light blue not far away and laughed.
Hearing this, Ah Zhu's complexion changed. Her originally extremely unsightly complexion had become even uglier because of the unease in her heart.
It was obvious that Ling Xiao's words were meant to express that his whereabouts had been exposed because of the strong flower fragrance on Ah Zhu's body.
Regarding Ling Xiao's words, Ah Zhu could only awkwardly smile and agree.
After passing through the sea of flowers, the maid brought everyone to a pavilion.
"Madam Wang has been waiting for a long time." After the maid finished speaking, she saluted and turned to leave.
Ah Zhu and A Bi, on the other hand, respectfully walked into the pavilion, and greeted the only woman in the pavilion who was dressed extravagantly.
"All of you, get up. Your faces seem to be extremely ugly. Could it be that something has happened?" Madam Wang said indifferently as she sipped her scented tea.
Hearing that, Ah Zhu was at a loss of what to do, but she did not dare speak.
Seeing that, Ling Xiao also stepped forward and bowed to Madam Wang, then said: "They said that they are looking for Mu Rong family Lord, and when I heard about it, I followed along too, and if there are any offenses, I hope that Madam Wang could forgive me."
Hearing that, Madam Wang raised her head to look at Ling Xiao, and then asked: "Are you the new gang leader, Ling Xiao?"
Hearing that, Ling Xiao nodded his head and laughed: "I did not expect Madam Wang to recognize me, I am truly flattered."
Madam Wang laughed lightly twice and pointed to the stone bench in front of her. "Sect Master Ling has recently caused a great misunderstanding on behalf of Sect Master, and has even helped Sect Master to guard the six-veined divine sword. Could it be that even you are not aware of your own reputation?"
Ling Xiao nodded and walked over to take a seat.
They never would have thought that the usually eccentric and eccentric Lady Wang would actually be so courteous to Ling Xiao. One must know that they themselves do not even have the qualifications to be seated on equal footing with Lady Wang, yet when Ling Xiao arrived, he was immediately invited by Lady Wang to sit at the same table.
At this time, Madam Wang took the initiative to pour Ling Xiao another cup of scented tea. She said with a smile, "Sect Master Ling has travelled a long distance to come here, so you must be tired. Why don't you try the scented tea unique to Mantua Villa instead?
Hearing that, Ling Xiao thanked him politely, then used both hands to pick it up and took a sip. Then, he praised: "Good tea, good flowers, good martial arts!"
Hearing this, Lady Wang couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh as she said, "I didn't expect Sect Master Ling to praise me so highly. I'm very happy to hear that. Furthermore, Sect Master Ling's tea tasting movements are so skilled and upright."
"Of course. Good tea is really good, you don't need to be perfunctory." Ling Xiao laughed.
The two of them fought back and forth as if they were old acquaintances, causing both Ah Zhu and A Bi to be dumbstruck.
At this moment, Madam Wang seemed to have noticed that there were two people standing by her side. She turned her head, returning to her usual indifferent expression and asked, "Is there anything else you two need?"
"Then let's go and see how those flowers are doing." After Lady Wang finished speaking, she continued to chat and laugh with Ling Xiao.
She was originally prepared to bring A Bi here to hide, and also wanted to ask for help from Lady Wang. However, she didn't expect Lady Wang to directly chat with Ling Xiao for such a long time.
Since Madam Wang had already spoken, then Ah Zhu and A Bi naturally had no reason to continue staying and honestly left the pavilion.
After the two left, Ling Xiao asked: "Are Lady Wang and those two young ladies very close?"
"Not really, but they like the sea of flowers here. When I have time, they will come over to help. I still like the two of them." Madam Wang bluntly explained.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao nodded and said, "So that's how it is. No wonder Lady Wang doesn't have a cold and warm attitude towards them."
"After all, they aren't that familiar with me, and they aren't maids either. It's just that they like to come here and play, but there are no rules and no boundaries, and Mantua Villa isn't someone who can leave just because she wants to, so I made an agreement with them that they would come only when she wants to see the ocean of flowers, and that they would definitely help him in order to leave." Madam Wang said with a smile.
After Ling Xiao heard this, he nodded and said, "Madam Wang is right. This is indeed a pretty good agreement."
"I'm afraid that Sect Master Ling is not here to see the sea of flowers?" Madam Wang asked with a smile.
Ling Xiao did not beat around the bush and nodded: "Yes, it was just as I said at the beginning, because the two young ladies said that they wanted to look for Mu Rong family Lord, I felt that there was something fishy, and took the initiative to follow them."
Although I do not know what happened between you two, but the people of Mu Rong family have never been here before, and I do not welcome them. When Lady Wang spoke of Mu Rong family, her tone suddenly became somewhat cold. It seemed that their relationship wasn't very good.
Seeing that, Ling Xiao knew that there was no reason for him to continue asking, so he shook his head and said: "Since that is the case, then I am afraid my trip here will be in vain."
