Chapter 981: Chapter 981: The Second Project Falls Through
The two circled in the air for quite a while before finding a spot to descend.
They silently arrived at Big Beard’s courtyard. As expected, the courtyard was piled high with packed goods. However, it seemed that Big Beard had waited until the evening drum and, seeing no sign of the duo coming to pick up the goods, had shut the door and left.
The divisions within Biluo City were particularly strict. Normally, in ordinary cities, businesses and residences were typically combined. But it was different here—markets belong to markets, residences belong to residences. Once the curfew begins, everyone must return to their designated district.
Other areas such as main streets, marketplaces, shops, and even taverns are strictly off-limits for any activity.
Previously, because the city had too many brothels, mixed with all kinds of unsavory elements, Yuwen Jun ordered the closure of Qinghua Pavilion. Nowadays, all flower houses have been converted into ordinary taverns, operating only before curfew hours, leaving them deserted afterward.
In practice, Yuwen Jun’s orders proved effective. At the very least, they reduced random wandering and significantly lowered the chances of saboteurs causing disruptions at night.
Naturally, this new regulation made the duo’s operation smooth as silk. Seeing the packed goods, they simply placed everything into the space, patted off the dust, and left without so much as a polite word.
Still, to avoid worrying Big Beard, they thoughtfully left behind a note explaining that the items had been retrieved.
Returning to Lower Left District, the place was still bustling. After all, Lower Left District contained thirty alleys, each with 200 households. Sorting through every suspicious person could easily take an entire night.
Seeing this, the duo realized the second plan was doomed to fail. The soldiers had clearly beaten them to it, conducting a thorough sweep of the area. If Yuwen Luanfei really were here, she’d likely have been captured already—no need for them to intervene. frёewebηovel.cѳm
With the plan a bust, the pair shuffled back to their courtyard, leaving further deliberation for the daytime.
The next morning, while Bai Junjun was still lost in her dreams, a knock sounded at the door once again.
"Fei Hua, Fei Hua, are you awake yet?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Bai Junjun abruptly remembered the matter with Mei Hua from yesterday.
She sighed helplessly, unsure why Mei Hua was so enthusiastic—always coming by to hang out with Fei Hua.
Wrapping her scarf around herself, she begrudgingly went outside.
Mei Hua raised an eyebrow upon seeing Bai Junjun dressed exactly as she had been yesterday. "Still keeping your face covered? Did you get beaten up badly this time?"
"Not really. It’s just... not very presentable," Bai Junjun replied vaguely, quietly revealing the bruise on her forehead.
Mei Hua glanced at it and immediately drew in a sharp breath. "Why didn’t you say something yesterday?"
"Ah, it’s already in the past. What good would saying anything do now?"
"Who says it’s useless? Tell me the details—I’ll have my man teach him a lesson. Let that so-called ’lofty Scholar’ know his place!"
"Enough, he didn’t get away unscathed either. Let’s call it even," Bai Junjun said, not wanting to continue this topic. Instead, she looked at Mei Hua curiously. "What brings you here today?"
"Didn’t I tell you yesterday? There’s a newcomer who needs your training. She’s hosting distinguished guests tonight and can’t afford delays. No matter what, you have to come with me today," Mei Hua said, grabbing Bai Junjun’s arm and pulling her out the door. As she exerted force, she remarked, "Why have you gotten so skinny? Is that old pedant not feeding you?"
"No, it’s just that things have been hard lately," Bai Junjun replied while being dragged away, feeling like her head was about to explode.
