Finest Servant

Chapter 69

Chapter 69 Singing "Eighteen Touches" (Part 2)

Hearing those words, the men in the hall were immediately envious. It was clear that Miss Qin Xian'er was inviting Young Master Guo. Such a golden opportunity, once seized, would inevitably lead to being a guest in Miss Qin's private quarters.

Lin Wanrong shot several glances at Guo Wuchang, and Young Master Guo finally showed a touch of intelligence, realizing that Lin San was creating an opportunity for him. He quickly got up and bowed, saying, "At Miss Xian'er's command, I dare not disobey."

Qin Xian'er returned the bow with a smile, then glanced at Lin Wanrong, a hint of shyness appearing on her face. "As for this little song, would you mind if I sing it for you alone, Young Master?"

Qin Xian'er's eyes were as beautiful as a painting, her smile carrying a hint of coquettishness. She seemed shy, yet her eyes were as calm as still water, betraying no sign of unease.

Lin Wanrong laughed, "I'm just a crude person. If the lady feels like it, please spend more time talking with my Young Master. As for the song, whether it's sung or not, it doesn't really matter anymore."

Qin Xian'er slowly walked up to Lin Wanrong, her body close to his. Her eyes seemed to gaze at him, yet there was a playful look in them. Lin Wanrong remembered the tricks she had used before, almost causing him to lose his soul, so he quickly distanced himself a bit.

Seeing his movement, Qin Xian'er couldn't help but blush, covering her mouth to suppress a giggle. Her body slightly trembling, causing the curves of her chest to create a delightful wave. She opened her lips lightly, "You seemed eager just now, but now you seem so reserved. Are you playing hard to get?"

Lin Wanrong chuckled, "Miss Qin, you're like a fairy. In front of you, how dare I play such games? That would be a laughingstock."

Qin Xian'er heard his sarcastic remark, knowing that her attempt to bewitch him with her eyes had been seen through. She sighed softly, whispering, "How am I a fairy in your eyes? To you, I'm just a courtesan who can't even sing 'Eighteen Touches.' If it wasn't for this body, you wouldn't even give me a glance."

She bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with melancholy, sounding resentful. To those unaware, it could be mistaken for her acting coy. However, Lin Wanrong was utterly clear-headed. Courtesans like her took pleasure in toying with men. If he foolishly believed that he was favored by her, he'd be utterly mistaken.

Seeing Qin Xian'er still pretending to be shy, Lin Wanrong couldn't help but laugh inwardly. He said, "'Eighteen Touches' is a good song. You should learn it well. If you don't mind, I am quite familiar with it, perhaps we could delve into it further."

His words, not only frivolous but entirely debasing, caused Qin Xian'er's face to flush. She gave him a stern look, turned around, flicked her sleeves, and ascended the building.

With Qin Xian'er's departure, the previously silent brothel was lively again. The two girls by Lin Wanrong's side were smitten by his audacious remarks, leaning into him with their voluptuous bodies.

Lin Wanrong chuckled and said to Guo Wuchang, "Young Master, Miss Qin will invite you in for a chat shortly. I'll wait for you outside."

With Lin San's assistance, Young Master Guo's dreams came true, making him particularly delighted. He exclaimed, "Lin San, I didn't expect you to be so resourceful. If things work out between me and Miss Xian'er in the future, I will definitely repay you handsomely."

Called him fat and he started panting. This Young Master Guo really did have a fearless ignorance. However, Lin Wanrong liked this kind of straightforward person with no hidden agenda, though a bit naive, his honesty was a plus.

While the two were talking and laughing, they suddenly saw a Young Master named Luo Yuan coming over with a smile, he made a fist salute to Guo Wuchang, "Is this Young Master Guo? I'm Luo Yuan, nice to meet you, Brother Guo."

Guo Wuchang hurriedly stood up and returned the salute, "So it's Young Master Luo, I'm honored." Although Luo Yuan referred to him as 'Brother', he knew his status was far inferior to Luo Yuan's, and naturally, he didn't dare to act superior.

Luo Yuan smiled and said, "I feel like I've seen Brother Guo somewhere before, where could it have been?"

Guo Wuchang responded respectfully, "Last year at the governor's birthday, my father took me to your mansion."

"Oh, and who is your father"

"My father is Guo Quanyou, the county magistrate of Suzhou, Ning County." Guo Wuchang said.

"Oh, so you're the son of Mr. Guo. No wonder you looked familiar, my apologies." Luo Yuan laughed. In fact, he couldn't remember Guo Quanyou at all, but as a warm-hearted person, he didn't want to admit it.

Young Master Guo, seeing that the governor's son actually recognized his father, felt a sense of being flattered. He, who was unskilled and incompetent, was far removed from the powerful and influential young masters of Jinling. Today, seeing the governor's son take the initiative to strike up a conversation, he was naturally thrilled.

Luo Yuan laughed twice, his gaze falling on Lin Wanrong. He said to Young Master Guo, "Earlier, I saw this Brother Lin speaking so eloquently, full of wit and intelligence. It's impressive that you could mentor such a talent, Brother Guo, I'm quite envious."

Guo Wuchang wasn't that dull. He knew Luo Yuan was interested in his servant, and he quickly said, "Lin San, come and greet Young Master Luo."

Lin Wanrong had a good impression of Luo Yuan, who had helped him out during his heated debate with Cheng Ruinian. He smiled and made a fist salute, "Lin San, a servant of the Xiao family, at your service, Young Master Luo."

Luo Yuan laughed, "Brother Lin, there's no need for such formality. I just find you to be an interesting person and want to befriend you. If you act distant, it might seem awkward."

Despite Luo Yuan being the son of a governor, he was approachable and didn't have the arrogance of those young masters, which made him far better than Cheng Ruinian. Lin Wanrong also dropped the formalities and laughed, "Earlier, thank you, Brother Luo, for speaking up for me."

Luo Yuan waved his hand and said, "Brother Lin, you're too kind. I just can't stand people who clearly have no ability but always like to point fingers and criticize others. On the contrary, you, Brother Lin, are both brave and strategic, your insights and courage are beyond anyone I've met, I truly admire you."

He glanced around, then lowered his voice and said, "What you said to Miss Qin earlier really resonated with me. I'm annoyed that I didn't think of it myself. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let you take all the glory, and I'm sure Miss Qin would've seen me in a new light."

Luo Yuan was straightforward and closed the distance between them in just a few words. Most people, due to their status, would naturally not dare to befriend the governor's son, but Lin Wanrong was different. He didn't see himself as a servant and had no qualms about becoming friends with Luo Yuan. He chuckled and said, "To be frank with you, Brother Luo, I always feel that no matter how beautiful the girls in the brothel are, they are still brothel girls. As for women, give them a bit of attention and they'll set up a dye shop, all the pomp and circumstance is just to hook us men. I, for one, won't let them get their way. I've never let a woman ride on my head."

Luo Yuan slapped the table and laughed, "Brilliant! What you said is absolutely brilliant, Brother Lin. These women, if you don't discipline them for three days, they'll start causing a ruckus, we can't spoil them."

Lin Wanrong heartily agreed with this view. Luo Yuan, however, furrowed his brows and said, "However, this Qin Xian'er, not only is she beautiful, but she also has a unique arrogance. I've asked to see her several times, but I've never had the chance. That Cheng Ruinian, as far as I know, hasn't had much luck either. Today, hearing your words, Brother Lin, felt like a weight off my chest, it was truly satisfying."

Lin Wanrong looked puzzled, "Wait, Brother Luo, aren't you here for Miss Qin?"

Luo Yuan nodded and then shook his head, "Qin Xian'er is indeed a beauty, it would be a lie to say that I don't admire her. However, seeing how she looks down on all men, it's naturally unpleasant for me. Regrettably, I'm not clever enough to deal with Qin Xian'er. Fortunately, you, Brother Lin, appeared tonight and shattered Miss Qin's arrogance, restoring the face of us Jinling men."

Lin Wanrong broke out in a cold sweat. He had merely had a verbal spat with a woman, but now it had been elevated to the level of fighting for the honor of men.

Seeing Lin Wanrong's puzzled expression, Luo Yuan chuckled, "Don't tell me you don't believe it, Brother Lin. There are many people who think like me. Only those unlearned fools always like to play at being sophisticated by following in others' shadows."

While he was talking, his eyes were fixed on Cheng Ruinian in the distance, a cold smirk on his face. Needless to say, the person he referred to as following in others' shadows was naturally the son of the Commander-in-Chief.

These power struggles among the young masters, all involved contests of power. Before he could figure out the situation, Lin Wanrong didn't want to get involved, so he just smiled and said nothing.

Suddenly remembering something, Luo Yuan said, "Hehe, Brother Lin, do you have any idea what it's like when Miss Qin sings the 'Eighteen Touches'? How does it compare to the seductive Xiao Taohong from Lichun Courtyard?"

This young man, filled with lust but lacking in courage and with a thin skin, really lacked the knack for courting girls. Seeing Luo Yuan indulging in his fantasies, Lin Wanrong found it somewhat amusing and said, "Brother Luo, I haven't heard Xiao Taohong sing, but I'm sure the taste of Miss Qin's singing won't disappoint."

Luo Yuan sighed, "I'm afraid I won't have that good fortune. But you, Brother Lin, and you, Brother Guo, you two might have some hope."

Seeing Luo Yuan sighing, Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "Brother Luo, when it comes to pursuing girls, to be honest, it's actually extremely simple."

"Oh?" Hearing this topic, Luo Yuan immediately perked up, "Brother Lin, do you have any insights? Please share them with me." Even Young Master Guo, who had been pretending to be serious on the side, also brightened his eyes and perked up his ears to listen to his words.
