“Then I’m looking for… Hall Master Qian. I have something to discuss with him,” she said.
“Miss Zhao, didn’t you hear me? Our Hall Master is very busy. He has already instructed us that he doesn’t have time to meet guests, especially women.” The guard was even more straightforvvard.
They knew Zhao Xiaoli was here to look for their Hall Master, but wasn’t this woman a little too shameless?
“E-especially women? Why?” The corners of Zhao Xiaoli’s mouth twitched.
What did he mean by “especially women”? Did some woman offend Qian Jiyun, causing him to hate all women?
The guard was baffled by her foolish question.
“This is Jun Lin Hall’s matter. Does Miss Zhao want to interfere?”
The guard couldn’t help but wonder why she asked such an obvious question. Was Miss Zhao genuinely unaware or just pretending? The answer was clear:
they did not want their Hall Mistress to misunderstand!
He was worried that a woman like Zhao Xiaoli would approach their Hall Master under the guise of repaying his kindness. “Miss Zhao, if there’s nothing else, please leave.”
“I…” Zhao Xiaoli opened her mouth.
She looked up at the open entrance and saw many people coming and going. She wanted to find someone she was familiar with to bring her in.
However, it was only at this moment that she realized she had been to Jun Lin Hall many times, yet there was not a single person she was familiar with.
She pondered for a moment. The guards were quite courteous to her when they heard that she was from the Long family, but it was no more than that.
Yan Feng only treated her as a member of the Long family and did not give her a chance to get close to him. He spoke very formally, making it difficult for her to pry about anything.
“May I ask what Yan Feng has gone to do and when he’ll be back? Can I go in and wait for him?”
Feeling unsatisfied about making this trip for nothing, she considered using Yan Feng’s name to enter Jun Lin Hall. Even if she could not meet Qian Jiyun, she could find out something from the others, right? “Miss Zhao, are you trying to find out about Jun Lin Hall’s internal affairs?” The guard looked at her and frowned even more.
No matter which faction, nobody welcomed others prying into their internal affairs. Even casual questions were not allowed.
It was a huge taboo. Even if Zhao Xiaoli’s surname was not Long, she grew up in the Long family. How could she not know that?
“No, no, that’s not what I meant.”
Zhao Xiaoli’s expression darkened. She shook her head and denied it quickly. Even if she had such intentions, she dared not admit them aloud. She could only probe secretly, right?
“I just want to meet Second Hall Master Yan Feng.”
“Second Hall Master is not around,” the guard replied briefly.
Zhao Xiaoli took a deep breath and asked, “When will he come back?”
She could wait outside if she knew when Yan Feng would return. She had to enter Jun Lin Hall today. She could not waste her time at this entrance.
“I don’t know,” the guard replied coldly.
“We’re only in charge of guarding the entrance. Second Hall Master does not have to explain to us where he goes and when he’ll be back,” another guard said mockingly to Zhao Xiaoli, grinning.
Zhao Xiaoli was furious..
