Chapter 666 Book 1 Dream 7
What's there to be moved about? I'm not being distant with him at all.
Huang Chengzhu glanced down at his seemingly normal clothes and rolled his eyes.
She put down her storybook, stood up, and sat cross-legged: "It's not like I'm naked. If you're really embarrassed, why don't you go outside?"
Ancient people were conservative, and Shangguan He's temperament was more unrestrained and carefree than the average person, but he was still a bit lacking compared to modern people.
Seeing that she sat up straight, Shangguan He also put down his fan.
He laughed, his dimples becoming more pronounced. He didn't mention that it was because she was relaxed, but went along with her words: "If you weren't wearing any clothes, I wouldn't dare to look. I'm here today to see you, young lady, about something."
"What is it?" Huang Chengzhu took a grape from the fruit plate and put it in his mouth.
Shangguan He's gaze couldn't help but travel from her fair fingertips holding the purplish-red grapes to her rosy lips.
He looked at it for a while before speaking: "Our boss is back, and he wants to see you."
"See me? Why? I'm just a customer here, aren't I?" Huang Chengzhu looked at him with a meaningful gaze.
He must have told Li Shiliu, the leader of Canjiangyue, who is also the villainous male protagonist Nanheng, everything he knew and what had happened.
That's good, she doesn't have to do anything herself, someone will help her change the plot.
She has a suitable reason to approach the female lead; it's as easy as visiting a friend or checking in.
However, the male lead is difficult to approach, and she doesn't want to make a special effort to get close to him. Even if she has to do a mission, she can't force herself to do it.
Whether she lived in Canjiangyue or because Shangguan He was there, she could see people even without doing anything.
Isn't this the effect that can be achieved by letting things take their natural course? It's a method that she can accept.
Shangguan He, despite being looked at by her, did not feel guilty and still smiled frankly: "The boss didn't come to see you for anything, he was just curious about the fact that Canjiangyue has a guest who is receiving special treatment."
During this period, Huang Chengzhu has had quite an influence in Canjiangyue. Everyone knows that she is not to be trifled with and is exceptionally different from others.
A person like that will attract attention wherever they are.
Moreover, in private, they were a Jianghu (江湖, a term referring to the martial arts world or a martial arts community) force that worked specifically for the Seventh Prince, Nan Heng.
People in power and wealth are more likely to care about any person or thing that is subject to change.
Regardless of the circumstances, Shangguan He and she were both acting on their own, but they shared the same goal.
Huang Chengzhu agreed to meet the person, while the male lead, who was still using the identity of Li Shiliu, the leader of Canjiangyue, was now in charge.
He didn't put on airs; he was just engaging in normal conversation to probe.
She knew how to play Tai Chi, so in the end, Li Shiliu didn't get anything useful out of her.
"Are you sure? Is she the outspoken woman you described?"
Shangguan He had just returned from dropping off Huang Chengzhu when he heard the chief's question.
He chuckled lightly: "People usually speak very directly, but can you really answer the question you asked directly?"
When asked about their secrets, no one would openly reveal them without reservation.
Li Shiliu turned to look at him, her eyes filled with surprise: "Are you speaking up for her?"
She was clearly someone whose true nature was hard to discern, and who rarely showed her emotions, yet he mistook her for a straightforward and easy-going woman.
It seems this woman does indeed have some influence on Canjiangyue.
First, everyone in the guild talked about Miss Cheng, always gossiping about her behind her back.
Some were curious about her, some admired her martial arts skills, and others spoke of her with complicated emotions.
Now even their second-in-command seems to treat him differently.
She has only been in Canjiangyue for a short time, yet she has already made such a significant impact. Can she be a simple woman?
When Huang Chengzhu goes out, he always uses his superb lightness skill to move freely. Many people know that Canjiangyue has a woman with high martial arts skills.
Only those on the inside knew that she was just a guest staying there.
Shangguan He stood to the side with his arms crossed and said, "The boss has misunderstood. I was just stating the facts."
Nan Heng: "It would be best if she were alright, but we still need to keep an eye on her. Even if we can't use such a skilled person, we should at least avoid making enemies with her."
After he finished speaking, he paused and said, "As for those mysterious things you mentioned, there's no way to explain them for the time being."
"Understood, let's take it one step at a time." Shangguan He nodded in agreement.
Back in her room, Huang Chengzhu was thinking that she had already met the male and female leads, and she just needed to wait for the key plot points to arrive to see if anything would change.

In the dead of night, Song Yimeng was rubbing her neck, looking at her well-written escape plan.
Suddenly there was a noise at the window, and then a figure climbed in from the outside.
She was startled at first, but when she saw who it was, she quickly stood up and walked over with a smile: "Little Huang, you've finally come. I've been worried lately."
Huang Chengzhu was pulled along by her, and glanced at what she had written on the blackboard: "Worried about how to escape?"
"Yes, we're about to reach a crucial point in the plot, and I don't want to have anything to do with Nan Heng."
"In that case, I'll take you away so you can see the plot from a different angle."
She's just a wandering swordsman; she can't go to the palace with them.
Taking the person away would allow me to test the influence of my body immediately.
"Run? You mean escape? Is that even possible? I tried changing the plot before, but I couldn't find a way to die, no matter what I did."
Song Yimeng slumped down, looking somewhat demoralized.
Huang Chengzhu raised an eyebrow: "So, you've just accepted your fate? You're not even afraid of being turned into a human pig in the end?"
Xiao Qi: "Host, you know perfectly well that the plot won't develop this way, yet you still scare people."
"I'm just trying to cheer her up, what's wrong with scaring her a little?"
Upon hearing this, Song Yimeng thought about the miserable state she would end up in, and she stood up abruptly: "No, I can't give up. I'll fight to the death."
Since the plot hasn't started yet, the supporting characters haven't played their role.
Therefore, when Song Yimeng told her family that she wanted to go out and play, she easily got their permission.
A carriage departed from the capital, and Huang Chengzhu deliberately concealed their tracks. The two arrived at a house in the suburbs.
This place was rented with Song Yimeng's money, and only people were hired to cook and do housework.
They will stay here for a while and go back after the plot points are over.
Huang Chengzhu doesn't do business at a loss, so she doesn't have to pay for any expenses.
Although she brought people out for her own mission, on the surface she was helping Song Yimeng.
Song Yimeng has plenty of money now, so she doesn't care about these things and is naturally generous.

Under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard, a gentle breeze blows, scattering yellow petals all over the ground, and the fragrance wafts in the air.
Song Yimeng sat on a stool with one foot on it, and casually picked up a snack from the table to eat: "Little Huang, you tell me, we're all here now, surely no one can carry me back to continue the storyline, right?"
"Tomorrow is the day the female lead falls into the Imperial Garden and the male lead saves her. Nobody can find you now, just wait and see." Huang Chengzhu looked at the storybook without even looking up.
