Record of the Missing Sect Master

Chapter 2

Xunliu Manor was uniquely constructed. It had engraved railings with inlaid jade and beautiful flowers of all varieties, with every single slab of stone placed with special care and diligence. At this moment, it was covered in a layer of misty rain, carrying with it a faint scent, full of elegance and charm.

Ye You was sitting in the corner of a pavilion, slowly caressing a teacup. Following the tenets of "the less said, the better" and "the first who moves loses"[1], he patiently waited for the opposing Sect Master[2] to speak first, all the while hoping that this person will provide some useful information.

However, those few expectations were quickly dashed - Wenren Heng acted as if he was invisible, quietly lifting up his cup to drink his tea. His fingers, slender and pretty, were white like green onions[3].

This Sect Master's presence was impossible to ignore. Just by looking at him, it was clear that he was very refined, and with that handsome face, he was quite simply very pleasing to the eye. Even like this with "not a word spoken", his presence didn't make Ye You feel oppressed or embarrassed but rather an indescribable serenity.

So Ye You decided to also drink his tea little by little, and in a solemn and earnest manner, counted all the detritus from the tea leaves in his cup one by one. Just as he was about to count a second time in a fit of insanity, Sect Master Wenren finally finished drinking his cup of tea.

The cup was placed on the table with a small clink of sound.

Ye You shook himself to attention and slightly straightened his back, only to see this Sect Master calmly pick up the teapot and refill his cup once again.

Ye You: "..."

Wenren Heng maintained his previous composure and proceeded to drink his second cup of tea.

Ye You wondered, was the relationship with this person so complicated that even while drinking two cups of tea, this person still didn't know how to explain the situation?

- What if he himself spoke first?

Almost as soon as he had the thought, he ruthlessly crushed it.[4]

Ye You decided to follow the other's example and waste time.

Xunliu Manor's Manor Lord Qin Yuemian was peeking at the scene from a distant hiding place, laughing as he rubbed his chin.

His appearance wasn't as striking as Wenren Heng's, but he had a pair of tender, expressive eyes[5]. He smiled slightly, full of feeling, and said, "I knew there was something between those two."

His trusted aide was by his side. Looking within the pavilion at those two people "as different as night and day", he couldn't help but say, "Manor Lord, It doesn't look like it."

Qin Yuemian asked, "Have you ever seen anyone else able to sit in silence with Wenren Heng for this long?"

The trusted aide stared blankly.

Qin Yuemian laughed meaningfully. "Not to mention that that person also had Wenren Heng's jade pendant, and that's not an ordinary jade pendant either."

That was the reason why he brought that man back, gave orders to take good care of him so that he would stay, and actively sought to illuminate the relationship between Wenren Heng and that young sir today. The pendant was made of warm jade, not very high in quality and with a strange decorative design. Nevertheless, he had seen Wenren Heng personally engrave it. It was a one-of-a-kind pendant.
