1884 The Price (3)
Hongni’s face became even redder and her hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly. Xuan Yi said indifferently, “Hongni of the Xuan family, a first-rate beauty and a powerful summoner. She’s never interested in any men. What she did today must be because she’s interested in you.”

Hongni was immediately embarrassed and didn’t know what to say. Her thoughts were spoken so clearly. As a woman, she was a bit shy. Qu Lanyi pursed his lips and sat there expressionlessly. The atmosphere immediately turned cold. Hongni suddenly didn’t know what to say. She only felt that the handsome man’s gaze in front of her was like a knife cutting through her heart.

“Hongni, what are you waiting for? You’re already holding the wine in your hand. How can you not drink it?” Xuan Yi smiled lightly. Hongni’s hand trembled again. Even if she wanted to walk back, she couldn’t. She could only brace herself and pick up the wine glass in her hand, looking at the handsome man in front of her with her black eyes.

Qu Lanyi frowned and didn’t want to talk to this woman at all. Xuan Yi burst into laughter. “Why? You don’t even give her face while drinking? The Young Master of the Naxi family is too arrogant.”

Qu Lanyi frowned. This was clearly a matter of drinking a glass of wine or not, but Xuan Yi changed the entire topic. He did it on purpose. Qu Lanyi was unhappy in his mind, but he knew that there were some things he had to do. Once he sat in the old man’s position in the future, these formalities were inevitable.

Qu Lanyi picked up the glass in front of him and drank it in one gulp, not even looking at Hongni. Hongni stood there with a flushed face and embarrassment. Xuan Yi glanced at her coldly. “Young Master Naxi has already drunk it. Hongni, why are you still standing?”

Hongni was very embarrassed. She immediately drank the wine in her cup and ran back in a hurry. Xuan Yi chuckled and glanced at Qu Lanyi. “You know how to suppress yourself.”

Qu Lanyi said coldly, “I think you know that if we weren’t here, I would’ve attacked.”

Xuan Yi smiled extremely happily. He filled his cup and drank it. He looked at the bright moon with his black eyes and mumbled, “The night sky tonight… is truly beautiful.”

The banquet ended late at night. After eating and drinking, Buyuan Misheng went back to rest in satisfaction. The young people of the two clans, the Buyuan and Xuan families, also went back to rest. The younger generation of the Naxi family also went back. Xuan Yi also went back early. Qu Lanyi didn’t leave first, but stayed for a while. He kept staring at Xuan Yi and Buyuan Misheng’s door with his black eyes. Seeing that they didn’t do anything else, he finally turned around and left.

“Keep an eye on them.” Before he left, Qu Lanyi said to somewhere in the air. Then, he completely disappeared.

After Qu Lanyi disappeared, Xuan Yi and Buyuan Misheng suddenly appeared in the air. In just a few moves, the few secret guards who were monitoring this place were dealt with and thrown to the corner.

“Bring her out,” whispered Xuan Yi. Buyuan Misheng frowned and walked into a room. When he came out again, a woman was already wrapped under his arm. Her eyes were closed, as if she was asleep.

“Give it to her.” Xuan Yi handed Buyuan Misheng a bottle of something. Buyuan Misheng opened the woman’s mouth with his big hand and make her drink it all. The moonlight shone on the woman’s face. It was Hongni!

“Let’s go.” Seeing that the things in the bottle had been drunk, Xuan Yi flashed forward. Buyuan Misheng followed behind with Hongni in one arm. Looking at the woman’s beautiful and tender face, he said in a low voice, “You might as well give her to me instead of Naxi Lanyi. I like such a woman.”

Xuan Yi sneered. “Misheng, you should give up this idea.”

Buyuan Misheng said coldly, “Are you using me as your subordinate?”

Xuan Yi looked back. “How can that be? Misheng, you know me. She’s too dirty. I won’t touch her.”

Buyuan Misheng raised his thick eyebrows. “Which woman isn’t dirty in your eyes? Only that Yun Feng.”

Xuan Yi chuckled and pushed his glasses with his hand, whispering meaningfully, “Young Lady Yun is very clean… She’s the cleanest person in this world.”

Buyuan Misheng secretly made a vomiting posture. He really didn’t understand what Xuan Yi was thinking. Women were all the same. What was dirty? “Will Naxi Lanyi touch her? He doesn’t seem interested in Hongni at all.”

Xuan Yi laughed loudly. “Whether he touches her or not depends on himself.”

“What did you give her just then? The Aphrodisiac Potion?” Buyuan Misheng was puzzled. Xuan Yi chuckled. “The Aphrodisiac Potion? I would’ve underestimated him by using such a vulgar thing to make Naxi Lanyi take the bait.” Xuan Yi looked at Hongni, who was hooked by Buyuan Misheng’s arm, and chuckled. “This is the Phantom Potion. It can turn Hongni into the woman he wants the most.”

“What?” Buyuan Misheng was stunned. “There’s such a thing?”

“Of course. Just because you can’t imagine it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. I didn’t think that Hongni could make Naxi Lanyi fall in love with her. If that’s the case, I’ll overestimate her.”

“Speaking of which, you’re the truly heartless guy.” Buyuan Misheng frowned. Xuan Yi was usually smiling, but in fact, he didn’t take anyone seriously. His own clansmen could be manipulated just to achieve his goals.

“Misheng, you’re wrong to think that. If it really works, it’ll be a win-win for me.” Xuan Yi smiled happily. Buyuan Misheng frowned. “Don’t use such a scheme on me, or…”

“You’re thinking too much,” said Xuan Yi casually. The two of them soon arrived at the yard where Qu Lanyi lived. The two of them entered cleverly and eliminated the hidden guards very skillfully. They pushed open Qu Lanyi’s door and put Hongni on the bed. At this moment, Hongni had already changed her appearance. The person lying on the bed was a woman with Yun Feng’s face! The Phantom Potion only changed Hongni’s face, but her body didn’t change at all.

“She’s really changed? There’s no flaw at all!” Buyuan Misheng looked at Hongni on the bed and exclaimed. Xuan Yi looked outside with his black eyes. Naxi Lanyi wasn’t back yet, which showed that he must have gone somewhere else. There was no rush. He would come back sooner or later.

“It’s time to go,” whispered Xuan Yi as he walked out with Buyuan Misheng and came to the entrance of the yard. Xuan Yi twisted his wrist and something appeared in his hand. It was a talisman. He slapped the talisman on the ground fiercely. The space shook a few times invisibly and finally calmed down.
