"Of course, we won't lose."
Mu Qinglan smiled slightly, completely concealing what she was thinking inside.
Sun Zhu on the opposite side also saw the situation here.
But he didn't care at all.
'Just a bunch of brats, what's to fear? Shen Yao can't exactly co out and beat up.'
He also thought maliciously:
'That's the princess from Prince Qi's household? I rember His Highness the Crown Prince seems to dislike her very much. If I can make her lose face here, would His Highness value more, even... give more support?'
'Mm, to be safe, I'll choose him as my teammate. Good thing he ca with today. How could this lose?'
When they heard Bai Yuyu go tell the maid she was choosing Mu Qinglan as her teammate, everyone couldn't help but be in an uproar.
Wasn't this choice of teammate too casual?
Great Constable, you could randomly pick any drunkard from our group and it would be better than choosing that little girl in the wheelchair!
Has love blinded your eyes?
No, it's looks!
But Bai Yuyu completely ignored their thoughts.
"Mu Mu, I'm counting on you! But don't be too nervous either. Maybe I'll win everything by myself?... Haha..."
Bai Yuyu laughed dryly twice, then comforted:
"It doesn't matter if we lose, don't take it to heart. I was too careless today. If there's a chance in the future, I'll definitely make him pay!"
"I understand."
Mu Qinglan's expression was obedient.
But she chuckled softly in her heart:
'You'll definitely lose. If you don't lose, how can you rely on wholeheartedly and let perfectly demonstrate my importance?'
I'm really looking forward to it...
Little cutie...
While they were talking and choosing teammates, the maids had already served quite a few appetizers.
Bai Yuyu had no appetite, just puffed out her cheeks indignantly, feeling that the courtesan was also a bad person. Even her favorite eating ti didn't seem appealing anymore!
Mu Qinglan simply tasted a couple bites.
The flavor was acceptable.
After a mont, she excused herself to leave, politely declining Bai Yuyu's help, saying she wanted to go pick flowers in the back courtyard alone.
But the wheelchair creaked and turned, finally stopping in front of a quiet little room.
The bad woman knocked on the door.
Knock, knock, knock.
After a mont.
The famous Heyang courtesan Yoo Shi from earlier pushed open the door and looked at her in confusion. She hadn't finished dressing yet, and the kitchen needed ti to prepare food too. What did this young lady want with her?
Seemingly noticing the confused expression on her face.
Mu Qinglan smiled, half her face hidden in the darkness among the bamboo grove.
Yoo Shi curtsied:
"What does the young lady want with this humble one?"
"Miss Yoo, you wouldn't want your master's secrets... to be exposed either."
As the words fell, Yoo Shi's smile imdiately froze.
…

While Mu Qinglan was acting like an internet user and starting to threaten others.
In the front courtyard pavilion, Bai Yuyu was dejected.
Because she really felt their team had no competitive strength.
The future looked bleak.
But she didn't bla Mu Qinglan either, since it was all her own carelessness that fell for the opponent's provocation. The little girl was even grateful to her, thinking Mu Mu was really a good person, willing to accompany her in embarrassnt.
But this failure was probably inevitable.
Sigh...
The little girl sighed again. She didn't mind embarrassing herself alone, and failing the mission wasn't a big problem either—
After all, it wasn't like the evidence was completely lost, just that it fell into soone else's hands.
The Six Bureaus wasn't a death warrior organization that absolutely forbade mission failures.
She wasn't so White Fang of Konoha either.
But having Mu Mu embarrassed together with her was really hard to bear.
What sense was there in having friends bear the consequences of your own mistakes together?
Even married couples might fly apart when disaster strikes, so Mu Qinglan, a friend she'd only known for a few days, being willing to accompany her had already moved the little girl to tears.
'When I get back, I must seriously apologize to Mu Mu properly.'
The little girl thought hard.
Shen Yao sitting behind another curtain on the side looked over there and also sighed softly.
There were a total of fifteen guests here.
Because Bai Yuyu hadn't chosen her as a teammate, Shen Yao had to team up with strangers.
Originally the strangers were quite excited.
Such a beautiful woman—even without a chance for intimate contact, just teaming up would be enough eye candy!
Maybe they could even brag about it afterward.
The two of us together would dominate completely—I'd handle the dominating, she'd handle the completely!
But after this constable lord with her icy aura and temperant like an untouchable flower coldly surveyed the room, no one thought about these twisted ideas anymore—
Under those blood-red eyes, not one person didn't feel chills in their heart.
Better to submit from the heart—no sha in that.
So Shen Yao ended up alone after all.
Only Xihong Courtyard assigned a maid to temporarily serve as her teammate, but even a maid accustod to seeing important people couldn't help holding her breath in front of Shen Yao, afraid of doing sothing wrong.
No helping it—the aura caused by innate destiny traits plus personality was just that terrifying.
But the bad woman just liked it.
No helping it.
That was her taste.
The satisfaction from conquering an untouchable flower and molding her into her own shape to knead at will was completely different from the satisfaction of coaxing others to take the bait.
Not that cute girls like Bai Yuyu weren't good.
But Shen Yao really hit her XP.
But even this XP-hitting big iceberg didn't favor their combination at the mont.
'Although Qinglan is very capable, people have limits. She can't be both excellent at scheming and planning while also able to suppress these old foxes in gambling.' Shen Yao thought.
She didn't know when she had started calling the other party "Qinglan" in her heart.
But she had never said it out loud.
'I've checked case files related to Qinglan. She shouldn't have been exposed to gambling. Even if she has extraordinary talent, it would probably take a month or two to surpass them in this area.'
A month or two was already quite bold.
Because this group of idle people who spent all day in brothels listening to music might have been imrsed in this way for decades.
Daring to say a month or two was purely Shen Yao's trust in the bad woman's abilities.
"Let's forget about the belongings. I'll go warn Sun Zhu not to pull any dirty tricks."
Shen Yao said softly.
"Mu Mu doesn't even think I'll lose!"
The little Bai girl's strange competitive spirit arose. She could think she had no way to win, but you shouldn't think that way!
Shen Yao was speechless. You really believed it?
"No need for warnings. It wouldn't look good if word got out." Mu Qinglan returned at this ti and casually declined for her.
"As you wish."
Shen Yao didn't care either.
After all, Bai Yuyu had indeed been too rash in this matter. Learning a lesson would be good too.
She was just a bit afraid Bai Yuyu might cry when she got back.
That would be sowhat unbearable.
