A girl who teases too much

"I will introduce him to father later. First I need to check whether he can meet up with his mother here or does he need to travel to the Yinque perfecture", Yan Mei spoke. She bade farewell to Hong Wei and came out of the hall.

"Young miss, have you finished your business here?", the gorgeous lady who was managing the entrance to the Hongyun record hall asked.

"Yes", Yan Mei nodded her head. She looked around in search of Li Ting and Xie Long.

"Elder sister Xiahuo, Where are they? I have asked them to wait for me outside", Yan Mei looked towards the gorgeous looking lady.

"Young miss Ting has brought that young man to the ground floor. They are discussing about travelling to some Oak valley town.

Young miss Ting has insisted that the young man should take a bath and wear new clothes before leaving. So, the young man has no choice but to entertain her demand", Feng Xiahuo replied. She wanted to ask few more questions but Yan Mei hurriedly left after hearing her reply.

"Just who is that young man? Why would Yan Mei and the young miss from the Li clan would give such importance to him?", she murmured to herself. A contemplative look appeared on her face as she looked at the stair leading to the ground floor.

"Senior brother, you are too much. Why would you buy only a single robe for you? Do you think I lack money?", Li Ting complained unhappily to Xie Long. A helpless expression appeared on Xie Long's face as he continued to bear incessant nagging of Li Ting.

"Fine, I will buy another piece of cloth for me. But it will be the last", Xie Long gave in to Li Ting's demand.

"Good, Then we can buy the golden robe that I have choosen earlier", Li Ting spoke happily.

"Little girl, you are only causing trouble for little brother Long. Let him choose a dress which he likes", Yan Mei's voice came out from the distance. A smile appeared on Xie Long's face after he heard Yan Mei's voice.

Both he and Li Ting turned their heads and found Yan Mei walking towards them. Her graceful beauty stood out amidst the crowd of cultivators. People voluntarily gave way to her as she walked towards Li Ting and Xie Long.

"Little brother, you can choose a dress for yourself. Little Ting is right. We would appear stingy if you take only one cloth", Yan Mei spoke.

"Alright, I can pick a black robe I have seen earlier", Xie Long spoke. Li Ting took out her token and gave it to the attendant in charge.

"Little brother, shall we go to my personal place where we can talk?", Yan Mei asked after Li Ting paid for the black robe that Xie Long had choosen. Xie Long nodded his head as he needed her help in returning to the Oak valley town.

"Young miss, you have returned", a beautiful maiden came out to greet Yan Mei after Xie Long, Yan Mei and Li Ting appeared infront of a secluded courtyard.

"Oh, young miss Ting has also arrived. Greetings", she bowed towards Li Ting with a smile on her face. At last her eyes fell upon Xie Long's face. She felt slightly dazed as she had never come across such a dashing young man. But she quickly suppressed her curiousity and bowed slightly towards Xie Long.

"Mo Yan, his name is Xie Long. You should take note of him because I have taken him as my little brother", Yan Mei introduced Xie Long.

"Young miss, I understand. Even I am envious of your choice. Shall I prepare some tea for three of you?", Mo Yan asked. One would think of her as an obedient maid unless he noticed the playful smile on her face.

"Mo Yan, you little degenerate. Don't place me at your level. Prepare some tea or I will burn all those paintings you are stashing with you", Yan Mei spoke with an angry expression on her face. Her cheeks reddened slightly after she saw the playful expression on Mo Yan's face.

"Pretend as much as you want. I will consider mixing something in the tea if you like the deed to happen today", Mo Yan spoke with a knowing smile on her face. Looking at her self pleased expression, Yan Mei had an urge to throttle her neck.

"Scram", she waved her hand in anger and Mo Yan bade her farewell. She didn't forget to sneak a glance at Xie Long before leaving.

"Who is she?", Xie Long couldn't supress his curiousity. During his time with Yan Mei, he had never seen her so much exasperated.

"She is closest to elder sister since their childhood. Elder sister Mo Yan likes to tease, so senior brother don't have to take her words seriously", Li Ting explained.

"She is not only teasing. That girl's mind is really....! Sometimes I am more afraid of her than my enemies", Yan Mei added with a helpless expression on her face. Xie Long felt baffled but he didn't inquire much. Together with Yan Mei and Li Ting, he entered inside the secluded courtyard.

"Wow", an expression of amazement appeared on his face after he entered inside. The inside of the secluded courtyard was a sea of flowers. There were many types of beautiful flowers which he had never seen before. The colorful flowers were swaying side to side which created a picturesque atmosphere which he had never experienced.

"Little brother, take a seat", Yan Mei brought Xie Long and Li Ting inside a stone hut. She sat on a wooden chair and signalled Li Ting and Xie Long to do so.

"Little brother, I have few proposals for you regarding your mother. Whichever option you think correct, I will support you", Yan Mei spoke.

"Elder sister, I am about to ask for your help. It is nice of you to consider my problems and think of solutions", Xie Long spoke. He felt heartfelt gratitude towards Yan Mei for her help.

"I can bring few of our experts and accompany you to the Yinque perfecture. But that will consume more of your time and your mother's. Instead I can contact your mother on your behalf. Bright moon sect has to pass through Taihua perfecture when they returned from the Oak valley town. They can set their route through Clear wind city if we contact them", Yan Mei spoke.

"Ohh, they have to travel through the Taihua perfecture?", Xie Long asked with a surprised expression. He had no clear knowledge regarding perfectures' location. So, he couldn't predict the route the Bright moon sect had to take to return.

"Yes, they have no choice but to travel through the Taihua perfecture. Otherwise their route will be very lengthyanf dangerous if they decide to take a detour", Yan Mei spoke.

"Alright, I will write a letter to her. It will take less time if they can come to this place", Xie Long nodded his head.
