Xie Hua Ling's expression becomes soft "Hm, Suddenly I feel like missing you, so I came here" he strokes her hair so gently it makes everyone who presence blush, except Zhao Li Xin of course.

Nan Yu Qi used to love it when he treats her tenderly but in front of Zhao Li Xin, Nan Yu Qi feel uncomfortable she unconciously take two steps back and her face become red "Brother Xie, don't…" she weakly said while glancing at Zhao Li Xin nervously. She doesn't want him to see her being intimate with other men she worry what Zhao Li Xin would think about her.

​​

If Zhao Li Xin could hear Nan Yu Qi minds he would have said 'Woman, you thinking too much'

Xie Hua Ling finally notices Zhao Li Xin's existence "You are Lu Xin isn't it?" he squinted his eyes as he tries to remember Zhao Li Xin face.

"I am, young master Xie" Zhao Li Xin nods his head without feeling offended.

Xie Hua Ling size up Zhao Li Xin up and down, other than his good cultivation the man seems dulls his appearance just too adequate compare to him and his brothers. Xie Hua Ling let out a long heaved feeling satisfied for the man mediocre looks by then he doesn't have to worry that man would seduce his fiancée. As narrow-minded as he is even if he didn't have a deep love for Nan Yu Qi he would not let any man snatched his woman's attention away. 

"Are you the one who delivers the shadow tiger to my fiancée?" Xie Hua Ling was quite jealous of Nan Yu Qi for having the rare shadow tiger. 

"Yes," Zhao Li Xin answer indifferent, he doesn't look proud at all.

"Good…" he clasped his hands behind his back arrogantly then he helps Nan Yu Qi return to her seat "You did a good job…" although he praised Zhao Li Xin, but there's an annoyance in his eyes because Zhao Li Xin didn't give the tiger to him instead. is this foolish servant thought his position is no better than Nan Yu Qi?

Zhao Li Xin notices Xie Hua Ling's upset look but he far from care what Xie Hua Ling thinks about him so he pretends as ignorant.

"Yu Qi, do you reward him enough?" he suddenly asked Nan Yu Qi.

"Well, he has the honor to serves us….I thought it good enough, but then again, I think I'm wrong" Nan Yu Qi smiles in embarrassment.

Xie Hua Ling sighs "Yu Qi, that is not good. Not everyone could bring shadow tiger in your laps, you should be more thoughtful" he reprimands her gently but the truth is he wants to show Zhao Li Xin which master could give more benefit to him and Zhao Li Xin should now better in the future to make a priority for him.

"It's my fault…" Nan Yu Qi's face becomes red because Xie Hua Ling's words, she feel annoyed and wants to retract her hand from him but Xie Hua Ling's grip is too strong.

Xie Hua Ling could feel something is changing with Nan Yu Qi behavior, he slowly furrows his eyebrows then he wrapped his hand around Nan Yu Qi shoulder and shift his glance to Zhao Li Xin "You meritorious acted should be gravely rewarded, why don't you tell me what do you want?"

There's a flash glint in Zhao Li Xin's eyes as he stares back at Xie Hua Ling "There is one thing I want that would need your help" said Zhao Li Xin.

Xie Hua Ling make amicably smile "Let's hear it" he raised his hand while his other hand circle around Nan Yu Qi's shoulder. Nan yu Qi looks uncomfortable, she feel jittery under Zhao Li Xin gaze.

She has great urged to shove Xie Hua Ling away but she afraid, she doesn't know why but there's something about Xie Hua Ling make her feel nervous and scared that's why she could never really love him.

"I want to build Fu Yun chain restaurant inside the cloud city," Zhao Li Xin said calmly.

Xie Hua Ling bewildered, he is not expecting this "You want to build a restaurant in here, why?" he chuckles by Zhao Li Xin simple idea.

"Is a good opportunity to expand my business, people in the cloud city are much richer than the outside, this would benefit me a lot" Zhao Li Xin said earnestly.

From his informant, he knew Zhao Li Xin's family is merchants who owned the restaurant business at tang sheng city so he didn't suspicious when Zhao Li Xin voice his idea. Xie Hua Ling pinch his chin as he contemplates then he smiles slyly "Sure why not, Fu Yun restaurant is quite famous afterall, but I will not doing it for free"

Zhao Li Xin was expecting "Of course, whatever you wish…" he obediently said.

"I will give you permission to build your restaurant in the main street in the cloud city, I also will lend you the finest building right from in front of the busy street but…." Xie Hua Ling raised his index finger "I want the profit share sixty-forthy, sixty for me because I give you the building and the permission and forthy will be yours, how about that…"

'Oh, someone wants to robe me'

Zhao Li Xin sneered inwardly "Is the worker and the chef are from me?" 

Xie Hua Ling opens his arms "Of course, is your restaurant afterall but I suggest you to use my people instead as the bookkeeper, I believe my people are more skillful than your people" he said with concern look.

Having his own bookkeeper to manage the restaurant it means Xie Hua Ling would have the restaurant ledger and he can still the money whenever he wants and leaving no proof, this blatant schemed make Zhao Li Xin boiling with rage not because he took his money but because Xie Hua Ling didn't bother to hide his schemed he literally treat Zhao Li Xin as a fool.

"What do you think?" Xie Hua Ling snickered as he believes Zhao Li Xin would not dare to refuse his proposition.

Zhao Li Xin was quiet for a few second as if he measured his pro and con then he cupped his fist and bow his head "Thank you for given me this opportunity" 

Xie Hua Ling satisfied with Zhao Li Xin courteous behavior, he likes having sensible subordinated, he nods his head arrogantly. On the other hand, Nan Yu Qi sigh as she feel sour inside her heart, it dawned to her the man's position is so low he could never match Xie Hua Ling's extraordinary position.

"Shang Lu, give him the Xie family servant identity" Xie Hua Ling waves his hand then his subordinated with brown and yellow robes take a step forward and Hand Zhao Li Xin a wooden token with Xie names written on it.

"It would show that you are working for me, it would allow you to bring your worker to the cloud city," said Xie Hua Ling.

"Thank You, fourth master, Xie" Zhao Li Xin bows his head again.

"Now leave…" he shoos Zhao Li Xin with tired expression while leaning his shoulder to Nan Yu Qi's shoulder, they're position make them look very intimate. It is not an appropriate behavior but who dares to reprimand the Xie young master so Nan Yu Qi swallows her discomfort as she smiles awkwardly to Zhao Li Xin.

Zhao Li Xin didn't care, he turns around and left the garden at a calm pace. Nan Yu Qi can only glance to the direction where Zhao Li Xin disappeared is, there's an inexplicable emotion inside her eyes. When Nan Yu Qi feel anguish and perplexed Zhao Li Xin in a good mood the corner of his mouth lift slightly, he thought he will need another week but who could have known Xie Hua Ling help him tremendously.

He make another turn on the corner and enters the small alley then she takes a long walk to make sure no one following him then he halted his pace "Mong Gui" he called.

From out of nowhere a man appears behind him while kneeling on the ground "I'm here master!"

Zhao Li Xin throws the wooden token to Mong Gui "Send them all in now!"

Mong Gui surprised when he saw it was the Xie family identity for the servants, he had been trying to acquire something like this for a long time but not to avail but his Lord could have it only in a few weeks, Mong Gui answer excitedly "Yes, Milord!" 

If only Xie Hua Ling realizes what he had done, Zhao Li Xin remain calm, this is only the start, he still needs to get permission to enter the forbidden library, that woman should contact him soon.
