Gate of Immortality

" HOLY SHIT! Did Flower Princess just invited him into her room?" The crows fell in an uproar as they looked at Yang Shi.

" Damn it! DAMN IT! WHY HIM?!!" A young man cursed as he pulled his hair. Yang Shi shrugged as he followed the maid of Flower Princess.

" Miss rarely meets any outsider. Young Master is sure fortunate that she invited you." The maid chuckled lightly as she led Yang Shi.

" Hehe, I am not really an outsider. Maybe, Your miss knows me?" Yang Shi smiled. The maid didn't say anything but she snickered in her mind.

Soon, they reached a room where the maid stopped. " Young Noble, This room." She bowed and opened the door.

The room was decored with red sandalwood and other expensive woods. There were also many flower vases, with exquisite flowers. Yang Shi saw Flower Princess was sitting on a chair as she prepared tea.

" Nothern Frost Flower. It's a great herb for women, to nourish their blood and vitality. It's It's hundred years old, It can make an old lady return to her youth. If it's a five hundred year old one, It can make one stay youthful for a thousand years." Yang Shi commented as he looked at the flower.

" Mr. Yang sure knows about medicinal herbs. But then, Since You have sold Sister Xia Rong the formula of Yin Enchanting Pill, I am not surprised." Flower Princess chuckled as she looked at Yang Shi.

" Well, well, Why don't you remove your veil, so I can appreciate your beauty?" Yang Shi joked. " That will depend on your performance." Flower Princess snorted.

" Well, I don't know the name of Flower Princess yet." Yang Shi scratched his head. Flower Princess became silent as her shoulder shook.

" Pftt~" She laughed as he tried to cover her mouth. Although people call her the Flower Princess, Most young folks also know her real name. Yang Shi asking her real name was a very funny thing for her.

" This humble girl's name is Hua Yewan."  Hua Yewan smiled. Yang Shi nodded as he picked the teacup.

" Well, I just came here for fun with my brothers. But when I saw you, I couldn't help but be curious." Yang Shi sipped tea as he said. After drinking wine and smoking, the tea tasted refreshing.

" What is it? What made you curious?" Hua Yewan asked.

" Hmm, maybe your wood type primordial spirit..." Yang Shi mumbled. Hearing Yang Shi, Hua Yewan's face turned dark as she glanced at Yang Shi.

" I don't know what are you talking about." Hua Yewan replied coldly. Her tone took an opposite turn as she talked to Yang Shi.

" Aiiz, You are still lacking in controlling your emotions." Yang Shi sighed.

Hua Yewan sat there silently as she laughed again. " True! True! I can't really be compared with a notorious assassin. After all, They live in both light and shadow."

This time, It's Yang Shi's turned to be shocked. But he quickly composed himself. " Well, there is no beating around the bush. But tell me, How did you know it's me?" Yang Shi asked.

" Well, Not really that difficult. Who do you think will come here and speak one of my secrets on my face? Moreover, It's only two days passed after that incident. I guessed you would still be within Azure Wind City." Hua Yewan chuckled.

" That's all? Hmm, You are truly intelligent." Yang Shi nodded. " Not only that. Since I am pursuing the path of music, I am also sensitive to people's aura. Your aura is a bit familiar to me and there is still some killing intent on you. All of this summed up." Hua Yewan added.

" But what about you? I don't think you actually followed me?" She questioned. " Not really. It's truly a coincidence. I can feel your primordial spirit with my special vision. Haha, To think the Flower Princess turned out to be a kindred spirit, who saves children and women?" Yang Shi smiled.

" It's a long story. I... I hate them. Who abduct little children. Forcing them to sell their body at such tender age, crushing their dreams." Hua Yewan's tone became colder. 

Yang Shi didn't interrupt her as he could feel Hua Yewan must have some kind of untold past.

" What more, Those inhumane relatives and parents, who just sell their children for money. They don't have the right to live."

" Calm Down, Sister Hua. Anger isn't suiting on your beautiful face." Yang Shi smiled. " It's just." Hua Yewan took a deep breath as she calmed herself.

" But anyway, Thank you for your help that night. I owe you a favor." She said.

" Helping a lady in distress is what I do." Yang Shi shrugged. " Indeed. Sister Xia also said such things to you. I heard you slaughtered a small clan for your woman." Hua Yewan chuckled.

" That's what she truly wished for." Yang Shi replied slowly as his face became affectionate. " I  understand." Hua Yewan nodded.

" Eh? You have an alchemy furnace?" Yang Shi asked in surprise as he looked at Hua Yewan.

" Hehe, I do alchemy sometimes. Unfortunately, All I know is superficial knowledge. I don't have any master to teach me alchemy." Hua Yewan sighed.

" I don't think someone will refuse to teach you?" Yang Shi raised his brow. " It's not like that. I don't like to mingle with people. And what's more, I... There are other reasons I can't tell you." Hua Yewan laughed lightly.

" How about I help you? I spent quite a lot of time in Golden Fire Tower and know quite a thing about alchemy." Yang Shi's eyes gleamed. 

" Really?" Hua Yewan was ecstatic.

" Well, I will be staying in Azure Wind City for now, so there will be many occasions for us." Yang Shi chuckled.

" For now, Let me give you something. Bring me a pen and paper." Yang Shi asked Hua Yewan. Hua Yewan nodded as she brought it to Yang Shi. As Yang Shi began to write something, Hua Yewan held her zither.

"Zheng! Zheng!"

Her fingers gently stroked the zither strings as she played a light tune. Yang Shi's muscles grew relaxed as he focused on writing. 

With the melody of zither and scribblings sound of the quill pen, the atmosphere was perfect. It's like harmony between two people, who had become one with the world.

" Done. I thank Miss Hua for such a beautiful zither note." Yang Shi laughed as he rolled the paper. " It's all the benevolence of Sister Xia." Hua Yewan shook her head.

" This is some general stuff about the properties of herbs and flame control. I hope it can help you for now." Yang Shi passed it to Hua Yewan.

" Hmm, I don't think you are doing all these for free?" Hua Yewan thought as she looked at Yang Shi with smiling eyes.

" Can't a person show some magnanimity?" Yang Shi sighed. " I doubt." Hua Yewan replied immediately.

"...." Yang Shi was speechless.

" Why don't you remove your veil. Consider this as the price for this scroll." Yang Shi chuckled. His skin was thick enough to demand such things.

" Pfttt. You are so shameless." Hua Yewan laughed. " But on one condition. You must carry the veil with you, in your hands." Hua Yewan added.

" Strange condition. But I agree." Yang Shi truly wished to see the face of Hua Yewan. After all, seeing the three beauty princesses of Hundred Flower  Pavilion is sure a thing to boast about.
