Chapter 561: Chapter 552: Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon - Snow!

Tianlan Imperial City, Divine Love Pavilion.

Shi Jinsuai, accompanied by Shi Feng, arrived at the splendid and spacious hall of the Divine Love Pavilion.

At the top of the hall, a Sun Orb the size of a fist was embedded, radiating brightness like the sun, illuminating the magnificent hall.

As Shi Jinsuai and Shi Feng entered, a delicate and beautiful maid dressed in pink gauze came forward. She bowed to both Shi Feng and Shi Jinsuai and said softly, "Welcome to the Divine Love Pavilion, young masters!"

Looking at the maid who came to greet them, Shi Jinsuai nodded slightly in satisfaction. The Divine Love Pavilion was indeed the Divine Love Pavilion; even the attending maid was so beautiful.

"Arrange a superior private room for us!" Shi Jinsuai said to the maid.

Upon hearing Shi Jinsuai’s request, the maid showed an apologetic expression and said, "I’m sorry, young masters, there have been too many people coming to Tianlan Imperial City recently. Our Divine Love Pavilion is fully booked at the moment, you might have to wait a bit."

"Fully booked?" Upon hearing the maid’s words, Shi Jinsuai furrowed his brows and showed a disappointed look. He asked, "How long do you estimate the wait will be?"

"This... It’s hard to say," replied the maid, her demeanor soft.

"Forget it then! Let’s leave," Shi Feng said to Shi Jinsuai at that moment. Compared to Shi Jinsuai, Shi Feng wasn’t really interested in tasting the delicacies at the Divine Love Pavilion.

"Wait a moment." Seeing that Shi Feng was about to leave, Shi Jinsuai quickly reached out to stop him and then turned to the maid again, saying, "Tell your manager to make room for us, I’m willing to pay three times the price!"

"Three times!" Upon hearing Shi Jinsuai’s words, the maid’s face changed slightly as she exclaimed. Working as a maid in the Divine Love Pavilion, she was well aware of the high prices here, and now this man was offering three times the amount!

However, the maid shook her head at Shi Jinsuai, her face showing apology again, and said, "Young master, the Divine Love Pavilion has its own rules. If it’s fully booked, other guests must wait. So, young master, if you want to patronize our pavilion, you must still wait."

"Five times the price!" Shi Jinsuai raised his voice again, appearing like a nouveau riche.

"Five... five times... this..." Upon hearing the mention of five times the price, the maid hesitated, then turned to Shi Jinsuai and said, "Young master, please wait a bit here, let me ask our manager."

Shi Jinsuai waved his hand at the maid, saying, "Go ahead!"

Watching the maid leave gracefully, Shi Jinsuai snorted disdainfully and said to Shi Feng, "Brother Shi, just watch. I don’t believe they can resist the temptation of a sky-high Primordial Stone. I, Shi Jinsuai, may lack other things, but not wealth! If five times won’t do, then ten times! Humph! I refuse to believe it!"

At that moment, Shi Jinsuai was full of vigor when he spoke about wealth, acting as if he was the only one who mattered in the world. That manner seemed as though he wanted to trample everyone underfoot with money.

In the hall, besides Shi Jinsuai and Shi Feng, there were also many others waiting. Most of these people came from other places, drawn by the famous reputation of the Divine Love Pavilion.

With the facility being fully booked, they waited in the hall.

Suddenly, a melodious and pleasing sound of a zither rose within the Divine Love Pavilion, sending many faces into a blissful trance as they indulged in the music.

While waiting, Shi Jinsuai and Shi Feng began listening to the wonderful zither music. After hearing it, Shi Jinsuai nodded involuntarily and praised, "Truly the sound of heaven! This music is meant for the heavens, rarely heard by mortals! The one playing must be a charming beauty."

In Shi Jinsuai’s mind, an image of the person playing the zither, as beautiful as the lovely melody, had already emerged.

However, Shi Feng’s words doused Shi Jinsuai’s thoughts like a bucket of cold water, "You’re mistaken, the one playing the zither is a man!"

"Man!" Upon hearing Shi Feng’s words, Shi Jinsuai’s eyes gradually widened, showing a surprised look, and he said, "Such a gentle and lingering sound played by a man? How is this possible! Brother Shi, you must not understand music! Understanding music requires perception."

After hearing Shi Jinsuai’s words, Shi Feng didn’t reply, but instead listened to the music, his gaze directed towards where the sound was emanating. He found the tune somewhat familiar and recognized from the melody and rhythm, that it wasn’t him playing.

Not long after, the maid returned and apologizing to Shi Jinsuai and Shi Feng, said, "I’m sorry, young masters, I just spoke with the manager, and he said that the rules of the Divine Love Pavilion cannot be broken."

"Even five times the price isn’t enough!" Upon hearing the maid’s response, a slight angry expression appeared on Shi Jinsuai’s face, and he then said, "Tell your manager, Shi is offering ten times the price!"

"That won’t do, young master," the maid replied, shaking her head, "The manager asked me to tell you, young master, it’s not about the price. It is about the rules of Divine Love Pavilion! The rules cannot be broken, no matter what the price."

"Let it go!" Seeing that Shi Jinsuai was about to continue, Shi Feng quickly interrupted him, saying, "We can come back some other time, I’m not that interested in this place anyway."

"Alright!" Hearing Shi Feng’s words, Shi Jinsuai sighed and said.

He had planned to bring Shi Feng here for a pleasant visit, only to encounter such issues. Even if they decided to wait, with so many people in the hall, there was no telling how long it might take.

Then, Shi Feng turned to the maid and asked her, "Do you know who the zither player is?" At this moment, the beautiful zither music was still echoing through the hall.

Upon hearing Shi Feng’s question, the maid replied, "Are you asking about this young master?"

Hearing the maid’s response, Shi Jinsuai was surprised again, "Wow! So it really is a man!"

The maid continued, "This young master, I’ve heard, is an extraordinary person. He is the disciple of Master Qin Rufan, the World’s No. One Alchemist, known as ’Snow’ from ’Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon,’ Master Xueh Wuheng!"

"Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon! Xueh Wuheng!" murmured Shi Feng.
