After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 517 Lingering Fragrance

As the judging panel departed, the entire Floating Life Pavilion seemed to have been drained of its vitality. The pretentious prosperity and confidence vanished completely, and many of the envoys revealed their undisguised fatigue.

"Clap~ Clap..." A soft yet loud clapping sound rang out in the cabin.

"Miss Su's performance was superb. I have never seen such a vivid performance. Regardless of the final judging results, I think Fusheng Pavilion deserves to be named one of the top ten flower boats in Baihua City!"

All eyes turned to the young man clapping alone in the audience.

Shang Xueyi looked at Shen Xu beside her and couldn't help but sneer. It would be better to break the legs of this kind of person and lock him up at home.

Led by Shen Xu, a few scattered claps first rang out in the cabin, and then all the guests in the cabin cheered for the performance.

In an instant, applause erupted throughout the cabin, deafening and seemingly echoing across the entire Jade Belt River.

The many envoys of the Floating Life Pavilion on the stage were all deeply moved by this scene. They all had tears in their eyes and bowed repeatedly to the guests around them with gratitude.

Nothing is more gratifying than having your efforts recognized by others.

"Thank you all for your kind words and recognition."

Although the Floating Life Pavilion still has many shortcomings and may not necessarily rank among the top ten pleasure boats in the future, we will definitely repay everyone with the most sincere feelings and the most wonderful performances and services.

Li Wanfang, the owner of the Floating Life Pavilion, along with his many envoys, sincerely bowed to everyone.

Looking at the revitalized Floating Life Pavilion, Shen Xu couldn't help but smile.

Although his applause and praise won't solve any practical problems for Fusheng Pavilion, there is no greater sorrow than a broken heart. As long as Fusheng Pavilion still has spirit, with their inherent strength, they will eventually return to the ranks of the top ten pleasure boats.

"Thank you, Young Master Shen." Li Wanfang led Su Wanqing to Shen Xu's side.

"I just said what I should say and did what I should do. You don't need to thank me. Besides, I really liked Miss Su's performance." Shen Xu looked at Su Wanqing.

"Young Master Shen is too kind. Wanqing was just doing her best."

"If Young Master Shen is pleased, Wanqing is ready to perform for you at any time, just for you alone." Su Wanqing looked at the young man in front of her with a slightly flushed face.

"I am so unworthy of Miss Su's kindness. I am already satisfied to have seen Miss Su's performance. I look forward to seeing Miss Su's better performance next time."

"Wanqing will certainly not disappoint Young Master Shen's expectations." Su Wanqing's words inevitably carried a hint of disappointment.

"I wonder why Young Master Shen has come to Fusheng Pavilion today? Is there anything we can help you with?" Li Wanfang asked.

"We're just visiting friends, please don't take it too seriously. We'll just stroll around."

“Wanqing knows the guests on the boat very well. If Young Master Shen wants to find someone, having her accompany you will probably make things much easier.”

"Wanqing is willing to help Young Master Shen with this favor." Su Wanqing bowed gracefully.

“No need, I’ve already seen the person I’m looking for,” Shen Xu immediately refused.

Even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to agree to Su Wanqing's request with Shang Xueyi by his side, since he could already feel the chill emanating from Shang Xueyi slowly spreading through him.

"In that case, we will not disturb Young Master Shen any further. If Young Master Shen has any needs, please feel free to speak up, and Fusheng Pavilion will try its best to meet them."

"Definitely!" Shen Xu replied with a smile.

After the two left, Shang Xueyi chuckled, "That Miss Su seems to be interested in you. Why don't you go and have a closer look?"

"Xueyi, you must have seen wrong. Fangshi's acting skills are all very good. They treat everyone the same." Shen Xu said with a smile.

"Do you really enjoy meddling in other people's business? Especially the business of pretty women." Shang Xueyi's voice turned cold.

"Xueyi, you've misunderstood!"

I simply felt that Ms. Su's performance shouldn't have been dull. I would have done the same if anyone else had been on stage. This has nothing to do with Ms. Su's appearance.

Besides, I already have Xueyi by my side. You are so perfect and flawless, you are simply a treasure bestowed upon me by God. If I were to go and provoke other women, wouldn't I be punished by God?

I'm actually a very loyal person.

"Ha~"

Sensing Shang Xueyi's obvious disbelief, Shen Xu gave an awkward smile.

But he had already achieved his goal; indeed, no woman dislikes hearing sweet words.

If he still couldn't make Shang Xueyi happy, he had another trick up his sleeve, but there was no need to try it given the current situation.

Where is the person you're looking for?

“Here, but I was wearing a disguised face before, so he might not recognize me now.”

Shen Xu had noticed Lin Qiwen a long time ago, but Su Wanqing's performance was far more captivating than that of a young boy.

“Let’s go see him.” After saying that, Shen Xu took Shang Xueyi’s hand and walked towards Lin Qiwen.

He didn't come to visit Liang Yu on a whim; he had something very important to ask him.

Regarding the amber given to him by the temple keeper.

Before he came to Baihua City, Lin Qiwen had told him that in addition to being rich in timber, Xiumu City, where he lived, was also rich in all kinds of amber.

The City of Flowers has a great demand for timber and amber from the City of Beautiful Wood.

Their purpose in coming was to deliver a batch of timber and amber for the maintenance of the ship's hull to the Floating Life Pavilion.

He felt that Liang Yu might know some information about that amber.

"Brother Lin, do you still remember me?" Shen Xu asked with a smile.

"Who are you?" Lin Qiwen looked at the handsome man and beautiful woman in front of him, his face full of question marks.

He honestly couldn't recall ever seeing such an extraordinary man and woman before.

"I see!" Shen Xu transformed back into his previous appearance.

"Brother Shen!" Lin Qiwen's eyes widened immediately.

"It seems you still remember me."

"How could I forget you, Brother Shen, after only a few days? But what about your appearance..."

"This is what I really look like. I'm sorry I lied to you."

"It's nothing, you always have to be careful when you're out and about."

Lin Qiwen laughed nonchalantly, then looked at the stunning woman beside Shen Xu, "Brother Shen, who is this?"

Shen Xu's expression changed slightly. "You brat, you really asked a 'good' question."

Shen Xu couldn't help but look at Shang Xueyi, who gave him a slightly amused smile.

However, this question wasn't difficult for him. "This is my friend. Why are you alone? Where is Senior Liang?"

He didn't care what the witch thought; if the witch made him unhappy, he would naturally make her unhappy too.

"friend?"

He clearly saw that Brother Shen was holding the woman's hand as they came over. Wasn't it inappropriate to say they were friends in front of her?

But that was Brother Shen's business, and he had no right to ask, so he replied, "I don't know where Uncle Liang went."

He told me a couple of days ago that he wouldn't be back for the next few days and told me not to go anywhere, so I haven't seen him in the last two days.

"I see! That's a bit of a pity. I was planning to ask him some more questions." Shen Xu frowned.

Do you know where Senior Liang went?

Lin Qiwen shook his head. "Uncle Liang never tells me where he's going when he goes out?"

"However, I heard from Uncle Qi and the others that Uncle Liang's daughter may have been abducted and sold to Baihua City."

So the gang entrusted him with the deal with Hundred Flowers City. He comes once a year; I guess he's probably going to see his daughter!

Upon hearing this, Shen Xu fell silent. Just because he couldn't see something didn't mean it didn't exist.

It's impossible that all the young and beautiful envoys in Hundred Flowers City are daughters of Hundred Flowers City. Qing Ning and Qing Yun's experiences, as well as what he has seen and heard these days, can all prove one thing.

Beneath the surface of Hundred Flowers City lies an extremely large organization that traffics in and sells young girls, and the Hundred Flowers Alliance and the four major families of Hundred Flowers City serve as its protectors.

But what can you do even if you know? In this world where human life is as worthless as grass, there will never be a shortage of orphaned girls.

Perhaps for those girls, Hundred Flowers City is the place that can save them.
