Hua Xue's Offer

Everyone in the general admittance seating stood up and began leaving. Wu Jian and Hou Jingshu decided to wait for a bit before leaving. They wanted to avoid running into Cì Chuān, Duo Long, and Húndàn Wang.

“Wu Jian,” Hou Jingshu said softly.

“Hmmm?”

“Keep your window unlocked please.”

“Okay.”

“Thank you.”

Someone suddenly knocked on the door, making them both turn to stare.

“Who is it?” asked Hou Jingshu.

“It is Hua Xue. I would like to speak with you, Your Highness.”

Wu Jian and Hou Jingshu looked at each other. It was obvious to them both what this woman wanted. He didn’t think there was any reason to see her since there was no way Hou Jingshu would give up the Fifteen Thousand Year Spirit Spring Water, but it wasn’t like they could just send such a prominent figure away. If they didn’t give her face now, she might cause problems for them later.

“Come in,” Hou Jingshu said.

“Excuse me.”
