-He's really grown up...-
-No-
-To be precise, he was never a rebellious rich kid. He's always been like this, from childhood to now-
When he was little, the boy stood below the stage holding his aunt's hand, solemnly promising he'd win first place next year and give her the little bell prize.
Later, he did indeed stand on the award podium and publicly gave that string of bells to his aunt.
Xinyao had never misjudged him. She just didn't fully understand the true thoughts deep in the young man's heart, even though she had lived with him for sixteen years.
For a mont, Xinyao felt she was the most incompetent one.
She thought she knew Yino inside out, but today she felt like she was eting him for the first ti.
Unfamiliar, yet familiar...
"Yino, you're much more impressive than your aunt imagined."
The red-robed girl smiled with satisfaction, her light golden phoenix eyes rippling slightly. Although Yino had made the promise to her in her capacity as the Hundred Spirits Pavilion Master, Xinyao still felt a warmth in her heart. Her pampering of this little pervert at the Grand Tutor's Mansion hadn't been in vain.
She waved her hand grandly, crossing her legs in a different direction under her skirt, and said generously:
"Since Young Master has made such a promise, this Pavilion Master will only take one Paper Vine."
"But rember, this Paper Vine isn't given because of your aunt's face, but because this Pavilion Master is betting on the future you just earnestly planned out."
"When you leave today, cultivate well. Don't disappoint this young lady!"
Upon hearing this, Yino outside the curtain first felt joy in his heart, but after carefully savoring the Hundred Spirits Pavilion Master's words, cold sweat broke out on his forehead as he rembered an extrely embarrassing matter.
Originally, Yino hadn't disguised his request for forbidden drugs because he believed the Hundred Spirits Pavilion Master was a pure rchant like in the ga, who wouldn't care about custors' identities or backgrounds.
But today, if the Hundred Spirits Pavilion Master could make an exception not to sell him forbidden drugs because of his aunt, then she would also likely tell his aunt about Yino's true appearance!
"Um..."
"If I give you another Paper Vine, could you not tell my aunt about what I said tonight?" Yino couldn't help but feel nervous, speaking softly with difficulty.

Behind the curtain, the red-robed girl first tilted her head slightly, briefly dazed, then quickly beca amused by Yino's sneaky appearance.
"Hmm~"
"Judging from Young Master's unease, you seem very afraid of your aunt finding out you bought forbidden drugs and beating you?"
She humd happily, not seeming to be acting.
Yino didn't find anything funny at all. His aunt's phoenix-patterned jade feet weren't soft and sweet like ice cream. If she knew Yino had secretly bought forbidden drugs, she would definitely chase him all the way to Wuji Sect and kick his butt in half!
"I'm not joking, Auntie will really kill ..."
"She's your aunt, how could she bear to kill you?"
"It's just an exaggeration, but if she knows I bought forbidden drugs, she'll definitely co all the way here to beat severely—"
Yino gestured across his chest, speaking with deep pain.
But before he could finish, the girl behind the red mask burst out laughing again:
"Pfft! Hahaha!"
"What? Is it that funny?"
Yino frowned, completely unable to understand the other party's inexplicable sense of humor.
In a sense, he now deeply understood Zi Chen's earlier mood when he broke down with a black face.
This Hundred Spirits Pavilion Master was indeed as rumored, with a mischievous personality. Almost every custor who ca to buy from her would be severely humiliated and leave with a black face.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm the Hundred Spirits Pavilion Master, a professional Western Region rchant. I don't usually laugh."
The red-robed girl cleared her throat and sat up straight again.
"Go on, how does she beat you?"
"Every ti, she first pins down, then ties up tightly with red rope, then presses on the bed, then she takes off her shoes, and while scolding , she kicks hard in the butt—"
Halfway through Yino's empathetic description, he suddenly heard so stifled laughter and abruptly looked up at the red-robed girl behind the curtain.
Under that red mask, the girl's delicate body shook as she nodded.
"Mm, I'm not laughing, go on, continue..."
"You! I know you definitely don't understand, after all, you haven't seen it with your own eyes. Although my aunt usually looks lively and cute, a delicate girl who makes people want to protect her, this is just her disguise! Once I went to the Phoenix Pavilion, just because I touched sothing I shouldn't have, she flew into a rage and beat fiercely like a mad dog. It's really...
really hard to describe how terrifying it was—"
"Pfft pfft pfft! Hahaha--!"
Finally, the red-robed girl behind the curtain could no longer hold back. She burst into laughter, laughing so hard she leaned back, even her pair of white jade feet exposed under her skirt swayed back and forth under the long chair.
"You've been laughing the whole ti! You never stopped!"
Yino slamd his fist on the floor, completely broken down by the other party.
He had described it so seriously, but it only resulted in the other party's more schadenfreude-filled laughter.
"In short, I'm begging you, please don't tell my aunt about today's matter. If I get my butt beaten to a pulp by her, your Hundred Spirits Pavilion will lose a super big custor with unlimited potential in the future!"
"Alright, alright, Young Master can rest assured. This Lady is a professional rchant who has operated in Western Province City for many years, conducting honest business... So, Young Master, please trust my credibility!" Xinyao pressed her lips together to suppress her laughter, nodding very seriously multiple tis.
For a mont, Yino also took a deep breath, and his suspended heart finally relaxed.
"Forget it, I've said all I needed to say. Thank you again, Pavilion Master, for giving so many excellent pills today."
