Chapter 1368: Chapter 4 Our Boy Has Grown Up (4)

"Indeed, it is Miss Hanmei."

Upon seeing the other person and clearly recognizing her, Su Ke immediately said with a smile, his curiosity piqued, "But I am not sure what matter brings Miss Hanmei to seek an audience with this official?"

Miss Hanmei bent her body slightly.

"Master Su truly is amusing. Could it be that every person whom Master Su meets must have some affair to attend to? Or are you suggesting...in Master Su’s eyes, we cannot even exchange greetings as old acquaintances in a foreign land?"

The beauty looked timid with an air of deep sorrow in her dewy eyes, fixating her gaze on Su Ke.

This caused a tremor to pass through Su Ke’s heart.

Fortunately, he had not been involved in worldly affairs, and thus, her deliberate and provocative motions did not elicit from him too strong a feeling.

Even so, he couldn’t help but take two steps back.

He laughed somewhat awkwardly, "Miss Hanmei jests. With your celebrated reputation in Shengjing, who doesn’t know of you? Describing it as ’Profits Pour in Like Pouring Gold’ wouldn’t even be an exaggeration. Honestly, I am truly surprised to find Miss Hanmei here!"

Meet change with unchanging!

Su Ke did not believe for a second that Miss Hanmei had simply "met an old friend in a foreign place"!

Suddenly, Miss Hanmei chuckled softly, moving closer with an air of familiarity.

"Master Su truly lives up to your name; you can see even this? Impressive!"

Her breath was fragrant like orchids, her warm exhalations by Su Ke’s ear, "Indeed, at first I was consumed by the sentimentality of an unexpected meeting in foreign lands. But then I heard that you, Master Su, were on official business. That’s why I waited outside the county government office. And it so happened that I also heard you had gone to Deicide Mountain, so I came especially to offer you a clear path."

Her words sent Su Ke’s heart racing!

He and Xue Qian had come to Changze County on a secret imperial mission, under the pretext of returning home for ancestral worship.

Leaving the county government office this time, he also used the pretext of returning home for ancestral worship to carry out his mission! If an ordinary person came asking, the most they would know is that he had gone to his ancestral home to worship ancestors, so how could they know he had gone to Deicide Mountain?

Not to mention the so-called "passing a clear path."

However, in a blink of an eye, Su Ke remained unmoved.

He got up at that moment, taking the opportunity to avoid Miss Hanmei’s increasingly approaching figure, "Oh? I wonder what ’clear path’ you’re referring to, Miss Hanmei?"

Miss Hanmei did not say, but instead stood up straight and, taking up the palm-leaf fan in her hand, fanned herself leisurely.

"Oh! Only today did I realise how truly worn this bracelet on my arm is..."

As she spoke, her other hand, the one not holding the fan, brushed over her arm.

On her arm, she wore a red jade bracelet that looked as if it contained flowing blood, so exquisite it made one reluctant to blink.

"Miss Hanmei really knows how to joke. With that bracelet on your arm, it’s worth enough to feed the commoners of the entire Changze County for three years. To say such a bracelet is old... well..."

Su Ke shook his head, his expression one of speechlessness.

"I feel it’s old because... it wasn’t given to me by you, Master Su."

Miss Hanmei’s soul-charming eyes bore a coy expression, seemingly determined to achieve her goal, "Rest assured, Master Su! I know what you’re worried about, but I can guarantee that the information I have will definitely interest you."

Su Ke gave no affirmative or negative response.

Miss Hanmei did not press him, "Please give it a good thought, Master Su! If you make up your mind, meet me in three days at the largest Silver Tower in Changze County. By then, you’ll naturally know that my words are true."

After saying that, she turned to look at her plump maidservant Ling Ling behind her, "Ling Ling, let’s go!"

Without waiting for Su Ke to respond, she took her plump maidservant and left.

Su Ke narrowed his eyes, watching her receding figure, but let his thoughts soar.

He had always been cautious of this Miss Hanmei, who had actively approached him, yet she seemed undeterred to this day. He was curious to see what other moves she had up her sleeve!

Duan Yan stepped forward to clear away the tea cups, "Young Master, should I send someone to follow her to see who she’s meeting?"

After some time spent training, Duan Yan and Little Shitou had become much steadier than before and were managing Su Ke’s affairs more and more deftly.

Su Ke fell silent for a moment, then nodded his head.

"That’s fine, report back to me with any news!"

He had intended to rest well, but how could Su Ke, bearing an imperial order, sleep soundly?

The next day, before dawn, he set out again for Luoshan Village. His goal was simple: to visit Luoshan and Luoyan Villages once more in search of any hunters familiar with the interior of Deicide Mountain.

What he didn’t expect was to run into a group of troublesome and superior relatives!

Su Ke had been well protected by Su Pan’er since childhood. Although he had suffered his fair share of wrongs as a child, his understanding of his relatives still remained that of his younger years.

The sight of these relatives, who seemed eager to skin him alive, was something he truly was not able to handle!

With no other choice, he hid in the house that his fourth sister had built for him.

Fortunately, nothing here had changed. The people left behind by his sister when she left had been dutifully tending to their tasks, allowing Su Ke to rest comfortably for one night.

However, after searching through the village, the most suitable candidate he found was none other than the familiar Zhou Ning!

As days passed, and upon learning that Venerable Priest Liao Chen and Old Cheng would be arriving soon, Su Ke truly began to feel an urgency.

He remembered the conversation he had with Miss Hanmei.

After much deliberation, he could not resist the longing in his heart and entered the largest Silver Tower in Changze County.

"Master Su truly is a man of his word."

Miss Hanmei laughed lightly as she greeted him. Looking at Su Ke with an especially sweet smile, "Master Su, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Curtail the nonsense. Miss Hanmei, you wanted a bracelet, didn’t you? Shopkeeper!"

Su Ke turned around, shouting to the shopkeeper standing by, "Shopkeeper, bring out the best items in your store. Let Miss Hanmei choose. As long as Miss Hanmei is satisfied, I will ensure you are fairly compensated, shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper, who had acquired great skill in serving his customers, nodded and bowed as he left, and soon came back personally with many exquisite bracelets.

"All the best merchandise in the store is here." The shopkeeper’s face showed some discomfort. "Sir must understand, in such a rural area, we really don’t have that many fine items in stock. So, so..."

"No matter."

Su Ke didn’t care about that. Miss Hanmei’s real intention was not on the wine; he wondered why she had asked to meet him here, what exactly was her purpose?

"Please proceed, Miss Hanmei!"

The bracelets that could be brought out were all lined up in a row for Miss Hanmei to choose from.

Miss Hanmei, on the other hand, seemed somewhat distracted, bantering and laughing with Su Ke for a few moments, casually examining a couple of bracelets.

Her mind was clearly not on these bracelets, as she kept looking outside frequently, as if waiting for something.
