Shengjing Noble

Chapter 180 Not close to women

"Yes, Miss Yueyao plays the guqin really well. I'm afraid that in the whole Shengjing, only Miss Xingyue can compete with her."

Yue Yao's eyebrows curved slightly, and she bowed again with a smile: "Thank you all for your praise. I am not worthy of competing with Shengjing's number one guqin master."

"Miss Yueyao is so humble. Come quickly, let me introduce you to her." Zhang Hezhi said as he waved for her to come over.

Yueyao nodded slightly upon seeing this and slowly walked to the table with lotus steps.

Jia Chen handed over a cup filled with fine wine and said in a teasing manner, "Miss Yueyao, this is the number one scholar, Mr. Su Shengyun."

Su Shengyun didn't expect that they would suddenly push this woman in front of him. He was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do for a moment.

He has never known anything about matters between men and women.

Even though he and the playboy Su Shengming were twins born on the same day of the same month of the same year, he was still a young boy who had not yet developed feelings for love.

Yueyao could tell at a glance that he had little experience and was the type of man who was easiest to fool.

There was a hint of sarcasm on her thin lips beneath the veil, but her tone was exceptionally gentle.

"What I admire most in my life is talented people. You must be a very talented writer to be the top scholar."

As she spoke, Yueyao raised her wine glass, with admiration in her eyes. Men could not stand such a look.

"Mr. Zhuangyuan, please allow me to offer you a toast."

Su Shengyun remembered Su Lanyin's words and decided not to drink if possible.

So he quickly shook his head and refused: "No, no, I can't drink much, so how about tea instead of wine?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Miss Yueyao's eyes turned red. She nodded as if she had been wronged, and her tone was choked with sobs.

"Could it be that Mr. No. 1 Scholar despises me because I am a prostitute and disdains to drink with me?"

"That was not what I meant……"

Su Shengyun wanted to explain, but was interrupted by others.

"Brother Su, this is your fault. Yueyao is a prostitute who sells her art but not her body. How can you look down on her?"

"Yes, a little girl has taken the initiative to toast you, how can you, a grown man, refuse?"

"Even if the top scholar has a low alcohol tolerance, he shouldn't be unable to drink even a sip, right? I say, drink it quickly."

……

The people around seemed to be making a fuss maliciously. Su Shengyun frowned, feeling very unhappy.

The stubbornness in his bones emerged, and his tone became a little colder.

"I just can't drink much and don't want to drink. How can that mean I look down on Miss Yueyao? I promised my younger sister before I left that I would not drink, so I must keep my promise."

"What's more, let alone a woman toasting me, even if you gentlemen want to drink with me, it would be difficult. After all, I am also a newly crowned champion, and I might be summoned to the palace at any time."

"If I get drunk by you all and happen to be summoned by the emperor, and I enter the palace drunkenly to see him, and the emperor questions me, do you think I should tell you your names?"

After he finished speaking, everyone present shut up with a grim face.

Su Shengyun raised his lips slightly, looked at the second place winner, raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother Zhang and Brother Jia were so eager to persuade you to drink, could it be that you also want to drink? How about letting Miss Yueyao toast you? Anyway, you two are also talented people, I think Miss Yueyao must admire you very much."

"You..." Yue Yao was so angry that her face turned red.

Although these words were not said to her directly, it was clear that he was not giving her face.

So she said angrily, "Since the champion is unwilling to drink with me, I dare not force him. But you just said that you want to replace the wine with tea. Does it still count?"

Su Shengyun thought, my sister only said that she doesn't want to drink alcohol, but she didn't say that she can't drink tea, so she nodded: "Of course it counts."

Yueyao slowly took off her veil, revealing a delicate and beautiful little face.

To be honest, she is indeed pretty, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to get the top spot.

She raised her glass gently with a charming smile and a loving look in her eyes: "Sir, can we exchange cups?"

Su Shengyun frowned: "No need..."

But before she could finish her words, Yueyao took the initiative to reach out and put her arm around his arm, which scared him so much that he quickly let go of the cup in his hand.

The teacup fell to the ground, and the hot tea inside spilled onto his clothes, wetting a large area.

Zhang Hezhi's eyes flashed with brilliance, but he deliberately scolded loudly: "How dare you! How can you be so clumsy!"

Yueyao quickly bowed her head and admitted her fault: "I didn't mean it. I hope you will show mercy and forgive me."

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Zhang Hezhi softened his tone: "Okay, okay, why don't you take Brother Su to change clothes quickly."

"Yes, this way, Mr. Zhuangyuan."

Su Shengyun originally wanted to refuse, but the hot tea soaked the front of his pants. People who didn't know would think he had wet his pants, which was really damaging to his image and disrespectful.

So he had no choice but to compromise and followed Yue Yao out with an annoyed look on his face.

But as soon as he left, a group of people started talking in low voices.

"Is Su Shengyun pretending or is he really not interested in women? How come he is not moved by a beauty like Yueyao?"

"I think he is pretending. Otherwise, why would he follow? He looks innocent on the surface, but maybe he is a playboy and amorous in private."

"I think he still has some integrity. After all, his clothes were soaked by the tea, and they must be uncomfortable to wear."

"So what if we're honest? When a man and a woman are alone in a room, who knows if something might go wrong? Hehehe..."

……

Next room.

Su Shengyun took off his outer robe and placed it on the hanger, then asked across the screen: "Miss Yueyao, have you found your clothes?"

"..."

It was quiet outside, with no movement at all.

He felt vaguely uneasy, wondering if someone was plotting against him.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Su Shengyun raised his voice and asked again, "Miss Yueyao, are you still there? Can you give me the clothes first?"

"..."

Still no one answered.

Su Shengyun was panicked now. He didn't care whether his clothes were wet or not. He quickly put them on again and walked out from behind the screen.

There was no one else in the room except him.

So he wanted to open the door and go out, but after taking two steps, he suddenly felt dizzy, then his eyes went black and he fell to the ground.

There was a cloud of white smoke burning in the corner of the room, and as the door was pushed open, the white smoke quietly floated out.

Yueyao stood at the door, her arms folded across her chest as she looked down at the man lying on the ground, a wicked smile on her lips.

"You're such a good kid tonight!"

After saying that, he stepped over the threshold and closed the door behind him.

What she didn't know was that on the roof, two dark shadows were waiting for an opportunity to strike.

"Miss, do you want me to go down and rescue the young master right now?" A'mo had his face covered and his tone was even deeper than usual.

Su Lanyin shook her head: "No need."

"Why? If you don't take action now, I'm afraid your innocence will be in jeopardy."
