Chapter 211: Using the Beauty Trap

It was a dark night, and the Feng Mansion was completely silent. Only the candlelight in the hall was still flickering, reflecting the serious expressions of several people.

Zizhu Yingchen stood up, his eyes firm and his tone decisive: "I will go see Zhao Qian now."

Feng Qingyue frowned and said worriedly, "Uncle, Zhao Qian is cunning. It's too dangerous for you to go alone."

Zizhu Yingchen waved his hand, his expression calm: "Don't worry, I'm confident. Zhao Qian is greedy for money, and that's his weakness."

Jun Lingyuan nodded in agreement: "Senior, you are right. But there must be experts around Zhao Qian, you have to be careful."

Zizhu Yingchen sneered, his tone disdainful: "Those guards are not worth mentioning."

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked out the door, his figure quickly disappearing into the night.

Feng Qingyue looked in the direction her uncle left, with uneasiness still in her eyes.

Jun Lingyuan walked over to her and comforted her softly, "Qingyue, don't worry too much. The senior is a powerful martial artist, and Zhao Qian can't do anything to him."

Feng Qingyue nodded, but her brows were still furrowed. “I’m just worried that my uncle will get too impatient and fall into their trap.”

Jun Lingyuan held her hand and said firmly, "With us backing you up, nothing will happen to you, Senior."

Feng Qingcheng stepped forward, her expression calm and composed. "Sir, I've arranged for someone to meet you outside the mansion. If anything happens, we'll be there to support you."

Jun Lingyuan nodded: "Okay."

Feng Qingyue looked at Jun Lingyuan and said firmly, "Lingyuan, let's take action too."

Jun Lingyuan responded: "We've already checked. Zhao Heng is hosting a banquet at Zuixianlou tonight. We can take this opportunity to get close to him."

A hint of coldness flashed in Feng Qingyue's eyes: "Zuixianlou? It's indeed his style. Then let's go meet him."

Feng Qingcheng hesitated a bit. "Sir, although Zhao Heng is a playboy, he is Zhao Qian's son after all. He must have experts around him. You must be careful."

Jun Lingyuan smiled and said confidently, "Don't worry, people like him can't do anything to us."

Feng Qingyue also nodded: "Qingcheng, you stay in the mansion and be responsible for liaison and support. Notify us immediately if anything happens."

Feng Qingcheng saw that the two had made up their minds and nodded solemnly: "Young Master, Miss Feng, you must be careful."

Jun Lingyuan and Feng Qingyue smiled at each other, then walked out of the mansion and disappeared into the night.

The Zuixian Tower was brightly lit and filled with music.

Zhao Heng sat in the main seat, surrounded by a few friends, and the table was filled with wine and food.

He raised his glass, his face full of pride: "I won't leave until I'm drunk tonight! Whoever falls down first will treat me tomorrow!"

Everyone raised their glasses and the atmosphere was lively.

At this time, the door of Zuixianlou was pushed open and two people walked in.

It was Jun Lingyuan and Feng Qingyue.

Their appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Jun Lingyuan was dressed in black, with a stern expression and sharp eyes.

Feng Qingyue was dressed in white, looking elegant and refined, like a fairy.

Zhao Heng's attention was immediately attracted by Feng Qingyue, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He put down his glass, stood up, and said frivolously, "Miss, would you please do me the honor of having a drink?"

Feng Qingyue smiled faintly, her tone calm, "Sir, you are so kind, I will respectfully obey your command."

She walked up to Zhao Heng with elegant manners.

Jun Lingyuan stood aside with a stern look, like a guardian god.

Zhao Heng frowned and said in an unhappy tone: "Who is this?"

Jun Lingyuan smiled faintly, his tone distant: "I am this girl's follower, sir, don't worry about it."

A hint of disdain flashed across Zhao Heng's eyes, but he was soon attracted by Feng Qingyue's smile.

He raised his glass and said attentively, "Miss, please."

Feng Qingyue took the wine glass, took a sip, put it down, and asked tentatively, "Sir, you have an extraordinary bearing. May I know your name?"

Zhao Heng smiled proudly: "My name is Zhao Heng, and my father is Zhao Qian, the regent's aide."

A hint of coldness flashed across Feng Qingyue's eyes, but she still smiled: "So it's Master Zhao, I've heard of your great name for a long time."

Zhao Heng was bewildered by her smile and said frivolously, "Miss, if you are willing, why don't you come back with me to enjoy the moonlight together?"

Feng Qingyue smiled faintly and declined politely, "Sir, I appreciate your kindness. But it's getting late. How about we talk another day?"

Zhao Heng was a little disappointed, but he quickly smiled and said, "Okay, let's do it another day. May I know your name, young lady?"

Feng Qingyue replied softly, "My surname is Feng, and my name is Qingyue."

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhao Heng's eyes: "Feng Qingyue? Could she be the eldest daughter of that family?"

Feng Qingyue lowered her head, a blush on her face, and said softly, "Sir, you are joking. I am just an ordinary woman, I dare not marry someone above my station."

Zhao Heng was delighted to see her shyness and said to her in a courteous tone, "Miss Feng, why are you being so modest? Even the noble families can't compare to your talent and beauty."

Feng Qingyue raised her eyes slightly and said tentatively, "Sir, you are too kind. I am just a commoner, how dare I compare myself to aristocratic families."

After saying this, Feng Qingyue prepared to turn around and leave.

Zhao Heng hurriedly stood up and stopped her, a smile plastered on his face. "Miss Feng, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Since you're here, why not have a few more drinks and let me show my hospitality."

Before Feng Qingyue could respond, Jun Lingyuan took a step forward and stood in front of her. His eyes were cold and his voice was low: "Sir, my young lady cannot stay for long."

Zhao Heng was intimidated by Jun Lingyuan's aura, and his expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his smile and pretended to be relaxed: "Brother, why are you so nervous? It's just a drink. Don't you think Miss Feng can even give you this little face?"

Feng Qingyue gently tugged at Jun Lingyuan's sleeve and whispered, "It's okay, sit down for a while."

Jun Lingyuan frowned slightly, but seeing Feng Qingyue's determined expression, he stepped aside, his eyes still alert.

Feng Qingyue sat down gracefully. Zhao Heng's smile widened upon seeing her. He personally poured her some wine, saying attentively, "Miss Feng, this is a fine wine treasured by Zuixianlou. Ordinary people can't drink it."

Feng Qingyue took the wine glass, took a sip, and said with a smile: "It is indeed a good wine. Young Master really knows how to enjoy it."

Zhao Heng smiled proudly and said, "Of course. My father has a close relationship with the Regent. Every year on the eighth day of the sixth lunar month, the Regent holds a banquet in his palace and invites important officials from the court. These fine wines are just a small part of the banquet."

Feng Qingyue's eyes flashed with a gleam, and she feigned surprise, "June 8th? That's a big day. I heard the Regent's banquet is extremely grand. Have you ever attended one, young master?"

Zhao Heng's face lit up with pride. "Of course! My father takes me there every year. The Regent's palace is magnificent, the banquets are filled with delicious food, and there's singing and dancing. It's like a fairyland."

Feng Qingyue smiled slightly, her tone envious: "Young Master is truly knowledgeable, while I am quite ignorant."

Zhao Heng was even more pleased with her reaction and boasted, "If Miss Feng is interested, I can take you there someday. The Regent holds my family in high regard, so this is no problem."

Feng Qingyue shook her head slightly, her tone regretful, "I appreciate your kindness, sir. However, I'm afraid such an occasion is not something that commoners like me can participate in."

Zhao Heng waved his hands quickly, his tone urgent: "Miss Feng, why do you have to belittle yourself? With your talent and beauty, the Regent will also look upon you with a different eye."

Feng Qingyue smiled faintly, said no more, gently put down the wine glass, stood up and said: "Sir, it's getting late, I should take my leave."

Seeing her about to leave, Zhao Heng quickly stood up and tried to stop her: "Miss Feng, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Why don't you sit for a while? I still have many interesting stories to tell you."

Jun Lingyuan had already taken a step forward, standing in front of Feng Qingyue, and said in a stern tone: "Sir, it's time for my young lady to go back."

Zhao Heng was overwhelmed by Jun Lingyuan's aura and could only smile awkwardly and take a step back. "Since that's the case, I won't force you. Miss Feng, I'll come visit you another day."

Feng Qingyue nodded slightly, her tone calm: "Young Master, you are thoughtful."

After saying that, she and Jun Lingyuan turned around and left together, their figures quickly disappearing into the night outside Zuixian Tower.

Zhao Heng looked in the direction the two had left, a gloomy look flashing across his eyes, and he murmured to himself, "Feng Qingyue... is quite an interesting woman."
