Volume 7 Chapter 3

Juese, Tang Ye and Si Fu

Ming Suwen needed to have a bath with fragrances added every day, or she couldn't sleep. Tonight was an exception. After she bathed and got dressed, she headed out, blessing the air with her scent.

As Shen Yiren's special new superstar, Ming Suwen was granted her own courtyard in the Female Constables courtyard instead of having to stay in the dorms. Her personal courtyard was clean and eloquent. Fake mountains and flower gardens were erected. Hence, the smell of blossoms was notable despite it being winter. Shen Yiren had someone prepare both of them beforehand. Understandably, people were jealous of Ming Suwen.

Frankly, the special privileges Shen Yiren granted Ming Suwen were already beyond merely an exception. It was considered a case almost unheard of. Ming Suwen wasn't a fan of peace and quiet, however. She'd invite her young senior sisters over to admire the flowers or dine outdoors. Every day and all day was practically a picnic to them; the once peaceful courtyard turned into a carnival ground.

Ming Suwen adhered to a disciplined lifestyle. She was no longer nocturnal, but tonight was an exception because she heard Tang Ye returned to the office to report in. News of Ming Feizhen, Su Xiao and Tang Ye being assigned to other offices was no longer news. She hadn't seen them since they left. Ming Feizhen did send a letter; however, he didn't pay her a visit. That was unacceptable. Since the trio were always together - so she assumed, she had to go and question Tang Ye.

As soon as Ming Suwen stepped into the front courtyard, she saw someone open the main door and enter. The girl who entered was the owner of a sultry body that the men plastered their eyes to. The maiden approximately twenty years old donned a light blue robe with a golden flower sewn onto her satin dress. She dangled her sword from her waist. The charming, yet hearty, maiden was none other than the Qilin Guard's Si Fu.

Upon stepping through the doors, Si Fu glanced over to Old Huang. She gave him a smile as if he was her family's manager: "Hello, Grandpa Huang."

The heat of desire rushed to the faces of the young constables Si Fu passed by. Rumour had it her best skill was setting honeytraps, a strategy she commonly used to recruit new blood for the Qilin Guards, or so they say. Despite her elegant and charming appearance, she was far from being classified as a moral woman. They claimed she had conducted countless shameless deals on beds with young men. Young men knew Si Fu was a devil, but her beauty and gentle voice were irresistible. Principles? They couldn't ask for anything more than to raise their hand and sign up to be her victim.

Grandpa Huang was the only man to not ogle Si Fu. They say a man seldom lives until he is seventy, but Grandpa Huang did. He had a son and daughter; in fact, he already had grandchildren. Moreover, as a cleaner, he had seen every type of character that could exist. Even the Emperor had walked on paths he had swept before. As an accomplished man, his ability to resist a girl's charms was heads and shoulders above the young ones.

Grandpa Huang: "Hello, Miss. What are you here for today?"

"I passed by Eternity House today and spotted a few pieces of jewellery that looked decent, so I bought them for your vice-captain. I am here to give them to her."

Si Fu wasn't on duty for the day. With nothing on her hands, she visited Liu Shan Men to see if she could pry some information
