Half a month later.
The Hidden Tribe.
In the morning, Meng Jingwei and Qing Muye were studying in the study. After lunch, Meng Jingwei told Old Shen Tou that she felt a bit too full and wanted to go down the mountain for a walk.
Qing Muye followed closely as always.
Walking on the steps, Meng Jingwei lowered her voice and asked, "You're being so mysterious, what's the matter?"
According to the task list Old Shen Tou had given her, she was supposed to start practicing martial arts at three in the afternoon.
"You'll know soon."
Qing Muye smiled mysteriously and led Meng Jingwei down the mountain.
They passed through the bustling market and took three turns before finally arriving at 'Yi Pin Ju'.
Standing at the entrance of the teahouse, Meng Jingwei looked at the nameplate and murmured, "Yi Pin Ju?"
She looked at Qing Muye with a knowing expression.
In Lancheng, Qing Muye also owned a top-tier private dining restaurant called 'Yi Pin Ju'. Now, she was bringing her to Yi Pin Ju again. Could it be that this guy had opened a branch in the Hidden Tribe behind her back?
The man pursed his lips and smiled, "Clever."
Although Meng Jingwei didn't ask any more questions, their eyes met, and they knew exactly what the other was thinking.
"So this is why you asked me to come down the mountain."
Meng Jingwei nodded and walked into the teahouse with interest, carefully observing its style and features.
"This teahouse is combined with a private dining restaurant. Each section has independent private rooms, integrating modern and Hidden Tribe design elements."
Qing Muye led Meng Jingwei upstairs while introducing the teahouse to her.
The teahouse had only recently opened, and the renovation looked very new, yet it was already quite crowded. Meng Jingwei was greatly surprised and gave Qing Muye a thumbs-up. "Amazing."
She had truly underestimated Qing Muye's influence. To be able to open a teahouse in the busy district of the Hidden Tribe in such a short time, all the staff working there had to be reliable and trustworthy.
"I've bought this seven-story pavilion," Qing Muye said casually.
But Meng Jingwei was shocked time and again. In the Hidden Tribe, due to the local architectural style, the buildings were made of wood. Therefore, the ceiling height was very limited, with the highest being only the seventh floor, and there weren't many buildings. Qing Muye had bought an entire building, and the staff managing it must number in the dozens, all of whom had to be 'his people'! How had Qing Muye managed it?
She followed him all the way to the seventh floor. On top of the seventh floor was a small attic. They climbed the ladder to the small attic on the top floor. Standing there, overlooking the vast Hidden Tribe, they could see the entire bustling downtown area.
Meng Jingwei suddenly understood Qing Muye's intention in buying this pavilion. Just as she was about to praise him, she saw him point to the street below. "See the person in the blue suit? Doesn't he look familiar?"
Meng Jingwei leaned forward slightly and looked down. She saw a man on the street wearing a royal blue suit who did look somewhat familiar. "Isn't that Tang... Tang Si?! No, the woman beside him looks a bit like Shi Ran?"
"Good eyesight."
The man raised his hand, gently patted her hair, and smiled tenderly.
"Is it really Tang Si and Shi Ran? Why are they here?" Meng Jingwei's brows furrowed. "What is that guy Tang Si thinking, bringing Shi Ran here!"
Meng Jingwei wasn't deliberately hiding her identity, so she wouldn't be angry if Shi Ran found out. It was just that the Hidden Tribe was too dangerous, and bringing Shi Ran here was undoubtedly pushing her into a fire pit.
"Tang Si said that Zhao Wuyan's brother, Huo Xiaohua, has been scheming against Shi Ran. And Shi Ran trusts Huo Xiaohua too much. Tang Si couldn't rest assured, so he had to bring her to the Hidden Tribe."
