Lady Zhushan concealed her identity and sent a subordinate, who had connections with the Ruyi Commerce Chamber, from the Thousand Treasures Pavilion to knock on the An Residence’s door. Under the guise of this subordinate, she sought an audience with the master of the An Residence.

Miss An, upon hearing it was an acquaintance from the Thousand Treasures Pavilion, hurriedly welcomed him into the reception hall. Just as she was about to exchange pleasantries, she saw that acquaintance bow respectfully to a plump-faced woman in a rustic robe, and then carefully retreated.

As Miss An was caught in bewilderment, the plump-faced woman spoke, “They call me Lady Zhushan.”

An Chenyu was taken aback, a sense of alarm rising in his heart. This was, after all, one of the Three Giants of Hanping Prefecture, and the most mysterious among them. He hastily greeted, “An Chenyu greets the senior.”

No one would associate this woman with Lady Zhushan, and nothing about Lady Zhushan’s appearance was ever rumored outside…

Could it be, this rather ordinary-looking woman with a face full of pockmarks?

An Chenyu was puzzled but merely waited patiently.

There was no reason to come to the Treasured Hall without cause.

Moreover, Lady Zhushan had been “absent” for so long, absent to the point where not even the Shanhe Martial Arts Hall or the White Camel Estate could summon her. Her sudden appearance at the An Residence today indicated a significant matter.

Lady Zhushan said, “Call Tong Jia as well.”

An Chenyu was even more puzzled but still went out to call Ying to fetch Tong Jia.

After a while, Madam Tong also entered the room.

Lady Zhushan said, “Close the door.”

Her voice had a certain magical quality, and Madam Tong obediently closed the door.

Only the three women were left in the room.

An Chenyu was about to make introductions when Lady Zhushan suddenly said, “President An, Miss Tong, I would like to propose a deal with you.

I hope you can order Song Cheng to be my partner.

In return…”

She looked directly at An Chenyu, saying, “Ruyi Commerce Chamber can establish a channel relationship with the Thousand Treasures Pavilion, selling the goods from the first floor.”

She then looked directly at Tong Jia, saying, “I will teach you medicine. For as long as Song Cheng partners with me, that’s how long I will teach you.”

The astonishing words left the two women utterly stunned.

In fact, Song Cheng had mentioned this matter to them and had told them he was recently keeping an eye on Lady Zhushan, hoping to find a last-resort retreat for the An family through Lady Zhushan by examining the south of the city.

But the way things unfolded was indeed unexpected.

Song Cheng hadn’t even gone to visit Lady Zhushan yet.

Lady Zhushan had already arrived.

Moreover, the request… was peculiar.

Lady Zhushan was not very patient, and seeing the quiet air, she coldly asked, “Unwilling?”

An Chenyu reacted first, rushing ahead of Tong Jia, and respectfully said, “Senior, we are naturally willing. It’s just that we don’t know what partnering means? And how should we partner?”

Tong Jia secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was fortunate Sister An spoke first.

Had she spoken, she would have skipped this part and directly inquired why they were ordered. In that case, Lady Zhushan might have guessed that they were somewhat prepared on this end.

Lady Zhushan patiently laid out the matter of “partnering” and finally said, “Only a Form Realm Warrior, who cannot see, can be my partner. When I use the Illusionary Realm to control the enemy, they must quickly strike to slay the enemy for me.”

“I was originally slowly scouting for a Blind Force Realm or even Power Realm individual, and I was nurturing some in my observatory as well.

But it’s exceedingly difficult for a blind person to practice martial arts. Even though I used Pills exhaustively, trying to water them with all my strength, it’s still hard to nurture a blind Form Realm individual in a short time.”

“Moreover, I hope the partner is a formidable Form Realm.

But those who have been nurtured are merely… blind people who aren’t even as good as ordinary Form Realm warriors.”

“Because of personal reasons, I dislike forming any contact with men. Strangers are already my acceptance limit.

So, I hope you two can order Song Cheng to be my partner.

He will follow commands and be my partner.

And he and I, in reality, remain merely strangers without any excess emotions.”

An Chenyu:…

Tong Jia:…

Lady Zhushan said, “I have some means, so I can see that on the outside, you two may seem compliant to Song Cheng.

But in fact…

You… are his true masters.”

An Chenyu:…

Tong Jia:…

An Chenyu was the first to speak, “Please give us some time, Senior, and we will order Song to partner with you.”

Song…

Lady Zhushan nodded, further affirming her view.

In front of the lady, the fierce and formidable Blind Song was merely Song.

“I will wait.”

She wrapped herself in the rustic robe and sat to one side.

Though the day was hot, her robe was thick and light-blocking.

Anyone wearing such a robe would be drenched in sweat.

But Lady Zhushan did not have a single drop of sweat.

She seemed like an exquisite jade piece, exuding fragrance in the cold.

An Chenyu summoned Ling, the best tea artist in the residence, to serve Lady Zhushan with fine tea, then hurried with Tong Jia to find Song Cheng.

…

…

Song Cheng had anticipated this.

After listening to Sister An and Madam Tong’s description, he immediately realized: Lady Zhushan’s mind was indeed problematic.

However, the fact she personally came still showed she valued him as a partner.

Furthermore, this was precisely his goal.

In addition to that, “Ruyi Commerce Chamber establishing a channel relationship with the Thousand Treasures Pavilion,” and “Lady Zhushan planning to take Tong Jia as an apprentice” were unexpected delights.

If Lady Zhushan had a favorable impression system, it should certainly reflect an increase in Song Cheng’s favor toward her.

Song Cheng sorted out his thoughts, went to the reception hall, and saw a gray silhouette sitting on a wooden chair in the hall.

That silhouette had a plump face, the woman dressed in heavy garments.

As for the color, it was peculiar.

Red was forbidden.

Black for the dead.

White for the living.

Gray… it was the first time he saw.
