  The two girls picked it up quickly, and after Lin Wanrong taught for a while, they had some semblance of skill.

  At this time the sky was already late, Lin Wanrong also didn't want to stay too long, so he got up and bid farewell. Qin Xian'er reluctantly said: "Young master, can you come again tomorrow?"

  Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment, Qin Xian'er's face flushed with a hint of red, and she said softly: "I don't know why, I like listening to your words, young master."

  Lin Wanrong laughed and said: "Isn't it just chatting? As long as I have the skills, I'll be there."

  Qin Xian'er smiled and said: "If you don't come tomorrow, I'll continue posting."

  Lin Wanrong nodded and smiled, then walked out. Qin Xian'er pulled his sleeve, her eyes like water, gazing at him gently, and lightly opened her vermilion lips to say: "Young master, don't forget what you promised me, be sure to come visit me often."

  Lin Wanrong saw her reluctant appearance, and he couldn't help but feel a little amused. Wasn't this flower-like Qin Xian'er who had turned the world upside down being charmed by him? This Qin Xian'er's affection towards him was quite satisfying to his vanity.

  This time, the young master has finally made some progress. When he came out, although he was still reeking of wine and shame, he wasn't as disheveled as last time. Lin Wanrong saw that he looked quite pleased with himself, and knew that the courtesan had served him very well.

  Lin Wanrong returned to the mansion with her brother, and as soon as they parted ways, she walked into her own courtyard, only to see a lovely figure pacing back and forth in the yard, muttering something under her breath.

  Lin Wanrong walked closer and took a look, it was none other than Xiao family's second young lady.

  Xiao Yuxiang paced back and forth, her footsteps trampling the petals of the flowers in the garden, which had been scattered all over the ground, indicating that she had been there for quite some time.

  Xiao Yuxiang didn't see him come in, and hummed softly: "This bad guy, having a good time at that kind of place, I hate you to death. Wait for another cup of tea's worth of time, if you don't come back to tell me stories, hmm, I'll, I'll——"

  After talking for half a day but still unsure what to do with him, Lin Wanrong couldn't help but chuckle to herself and slowly walked over to her side, saying: "What are you going to do with me?"

  Xiao Yuxiang took a few steps back and exclaimed: "You, when did you come back?"

  Lin Wanrong said: "Not long after I came back, I heard that someone was going to be unfriendly to me."

  Xiao Yuxiang's face turned red as she hummed: "You've finally come back, how about it, didn't the fox spirit keep you overnight?"

  Lin Wanrong chuckled and said: "Second Miss, what's always on your little mind? We're just chatting, it's not as sinister as you think."

  Xiao Yuxiang said: "Today is a chat, who knows what we'll talk about next time."

  It's really hard to explain this to the child, Lin Wanrong shook her head helplessly and said: "It's getting late, Second Miss, you should hurry back, or Eldest Miss will worry."

  "Then you won't tell me a story tonight?" Xiao Yuxiang asked expectantly.

  Lin Wanrong shook his head and said, "Let's just forget it for today, I'm a bit tired and want to rest early."

  Xiao Yuxiang's face was filled with disappointment, and she turned to leave reluctantly. After taking a few steps, she suddenly turned her head and said: "Lin San, I'll ask you again, can't my family and the Tao family really form an alliance?"

  "What's going on in this little girl's head, how did she suddenly ask about this again. But seeing her eager eyes, Lin Wanrong nodded and said: 'For the Xiao family, joint operation is a dead end.'"

  Xiao Yuxiang bit her teeth and nodded, glanced at Lin Wanrong, then ran away quickly.

  This girl is indeed a bit strange, Lin Wanrong shook his head and entered the courtyard, pushing open the door. He looked up to see Xiao Qingxuan sitting quietly at the table, staring at him.

  One left and another came, this taste is really special. Lin Wanrong blinked his eyes and smiled: "Miss Xiao, why are you so early today?"

  Xiao Qingxuan looked at him expressionlessly and said: "I just came to take a look. When can you get the things I asked for ready?"

  Lin Wanrong nodded: "Don't worry, you won't be left out."

  He took out the glass bottles he had bought, poured the fragrance into the bottles in different proportions, and made marks. He finally let out a long breath, and the first batch of experiments was officially completed. Although it was a bit simple, but from Xiao Qingxuan's reflection that day, the effect was not bad.

  Xiao Qingxuan watched his movements without saying a word, and only asked curiously when he finished: "What are you doing?"

  Lin Wanrong smiled: "These are different flavors, later you like which one, can choose at will."

  Xiao Qingxuan's face showed a hint of joy and she asked: "Really?"

  Lin Wanrong nodded and said: "When have I ever cheated you?" As he said this, he himself felt a little ashamed. Cheating was his specialty after all.

  Xiao Qingxuan carefully examined the glass bottles for a long time before asking: "May I... smell them?"

  It was originally intended for her to be a fragrance tester, Lin Wanrong shrugged and said, "Of course it's okay."

  Xiao Qingxuan carefully picked up a bottle, opened the lid, brought it to her nose and sniffed, then took a deep breath and slowly exhaled: "What is this fragrance? It's so special. If it were lighter, it would be even better."

  She was holding the bottle with the highest concentration, Lin Wanrong secretly delighted in his heart. Although he didn't know Xiao Qingxuan's identity, judging from her temperament and demeanor, she was definitely not an ordinary person. Being able to make her praise it endlessly meant that this perfume would be absolutely popular.

  Lin Wanrong waved his hand and said, "Miss Xiao, please continue to enjoy your tea."

  Xiao Qingxuan lifted the lid of one of the bottles, took a delicate sniff at the fragrance, and her face grew increasingly joyful. She grasped one of the bottles and said: "This one, give it to me, okay?"

  Lin Wanrong saw that she was holding the lightest bottle, and thought to herself, this is quite suitable for her personality. However, at present, she wants to take away his own sample, which cannot be agreed to.

  Lin Wanrong shook her head, and Xiao Qingxuan's face flashed a hint of disappointment. She reluctantly put the perfume bottle back on the table. Lin Wanrong couldn't help but laugh and said, "Didn't I promise you? When the time comes for formal arrangements, I'll definitely give you one."

  Xiao Qingxuan smiled wryly and said: "Of course I remember. It's just that by the time you're ready, who knows where I'll be?"

  Lin Wanrong seemed to hear some parting words in her tone and asked strangely: "What's wrong, are you leaving?"

  Xiao Qingxuan sighed and said: "I've been in Jinling for a while, but the things I need to do haven't made any progress. I'm not from Jinling, so it's normal for me to leave here."

  Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "There is farewell, then there will be joy in meeting again next time, no need to be too sad."

  Xiao Qingxuan looked at him for a moment, her red lips lightly pursed, before she whispered: "How's your conversation with Qin Xian'er going?"

  Lin Wanrong recalled the things Qin Xian'er had entrusted to him, thinking that these two girls were somehow connected to him. He nodded and said: "Of course it's fine, I'll sing a little song with her, talk about life, and have a great time."

  "Those days were indeed happy, but they had nothing to do with me."

  Lin Wanrong saw her gloomy expression and couldn't help but shake his head, saying: "You're not old, where did you get so much sentimentality? Open your heart a bit more, you know, you're not the most miserable person in this world. The most miserable one is standing right in front of you."

  "What do you mean by this?"

  Lin Wanrong thought of his family and couldn't go back, but fell into this strange world. He naturally felt a bit uncomfortable, but he was born to be open-minded. Seeing Xiao Qingxuan's concerned face, he teased: "Still saying it's not miserable? Have you seen a talented person who was kicked into the river for speaking out of turn? I'm that person, and I almost lost my life."

  Xiao Qingxuan knew he was talking about himself, and her face turned red with embarrassment: "Obviously you took advantage of me, how can you say that you're the one who's been wronged?"

  Lin Wanrong saw that her face was rosy and extremely beautiful, seemingly even more so than Qin Xian'er. His heart skipped a beat as he thought to himself, "This little girl is placed in front of me, yet she's carrying a sword. I can look but not touch, isn't this torture?"

  "What are you staring at me for?" Seeing Lin Wanrong not speaking for a long time, but only staring at herself, Xiao Qingxuan felt a little flustered, her face even redder, and she hastily brandished the treasure sword in her hand.

  Lin Wanrong sighed and said: "Has your arm injury healed?"

  Xiao Qingxuan listened to him asking about her injury, and for some reason, she felt a softness in her heart, and could no longer bear to argue with him. Her face was slightly flushed as she nodded lightly and said, "I'm much better now, thank you."

  Lin Wanrong thought about it and also felt strange. The two women he knew, Qin Xian'er was a mysterious and unpredictable courtesan, while the one in front of him, Xiao Qingxuan, was an even more enigmatic figure. How did they both have some connection with him? Could it be that he was just too handsome, otherwise, there was no way to explain it.

  "What are you thinking?" Xiao Qingxuan asked softly.

  "From now on, let's fight less, it's better for women to be gentle, like Qin Xian'er, she is very gentle." Lin Wanrong said subconsciously.

  Xiao Qingxuan snorted coldly and turned her head to say: "Is she gentle? Probably only in front of you. This wound is——"

  She shut her mouth and didn't say anything else. Lin Wanrong shook his head, "No matter what, it's not good for women to fight. How about this, if you want to fight in the future, you can find me. I have a group of younger brothers under my command who are useless at other things but still have some skills when it comes to fighting."

  Xiao Qingxuan covered her lips and smiled lightly: "I'm not fighting, but you make it sound so unpleasant. The people under your command won't..." She said a sentence, then remembered something, looked at him, and stopped talking.

  Lin Wanrong smiled indifferently and said, "I know you look down on us who don't know martial arts, but Miss Xiao, don't forget that the world is supported by these ordinary people. As long as they are mobilized, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, you can't escape. This is called a people's war."

  Xiao Qingxuan lowered her head and couldn't help but mutter softly: "Who said I look down on you? You're the one who's best at talking nonsense." After spending more time with Xiao Qingxuan, she seemed to have thawed out a bit too, as long as he didn't make any flirtatious remarks, everything was easy to talk about.

  Xiao Qingxuan has a noble and elegant temperament, with refined speech and a strong interest in major national events. Lin Wanrong is also an expert at boasting, and whenever Xiao mentions something, Lin can draw on his past experiences and insights to offer unique perspectives and ideas.

  Lin Wanrong's rich experience and understanding of society and human nature far surpass Xiao Qingxuan's. Although not every word is a pearl, he can always get to the point with one sentence. After talking to him for a while, Xiao Qingxuan also gained some insights.

  In the following days, Lin Wanrong devoted himself wholeheartedly to the development of perfume. He didn't need to go to the study room, and all his free time was spent on perfume. Every day, he walked on the road, and when eating, his mind was always on perfume.

  Xiao Er Miss hasn't come looking for him these past few days, Lin Wanrong was just about to relax, but Qin Xian'er came every day with a famous needle to invite him.

  Lin Wanrong had no choice but to put up a front of studying, accompanying the young master on daily visits to brothels and teaching those two little maidservants, he didn't want his own business to be ruined.

  Qin Xian'er composed some more tunes and let him listen, but they were getting happier and happier, and the early melancholy had disappeared. Lin Wanrong was puzzled in his heart, Qin Xian'er had been radiant these days, and he didn't know if she had eaten a ginseng fruit or not.

  Xiao Qingxuan seemed to have made an appointment with Qin Xian'er, and every day when Lin Wanrong returned from Qin Xian'er's place, Xiao Qingxuan would already be sitting in the room waiting for him.

  Two people talked freely about major national events, Lin Wanrong had no scruples and dared to say anything, Xiao Qingxuan listened with cold sweat all over her body, thinking that you are a bad person, if it weren't for meeting me, I'm afraid you would have been beheaded hundreds of times already.

  Lin Wanrong was speaking happily, but seeing her strange expression, he said: "What's wrong, is it that my words scared you?"

  Xiao Qingxuan gritted her teeth and said: "These words of yours, just say them to me, don't mention them to outsiders."

  Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "I'm telling you this because I know you understand me, otherwise I wouldn't even bother mentioning it to others."

  Xiao Qingxuan's face turned red as she glanced at him and said, "Smooth talker."

  Her smiling and blushing appearance was completely different from her cold demeanor, Lin Wanrong stared blankly for a moment before saying: "Miss Xiao, you should smile more often, it suits you."

  Xiao Qingxuan stamped her foot and said, "How can you say such frivolous things again? I'm too lazy to bother with you." Although she said so, for some reason, when she heard these "frivolous" words, she felt a faint thrill of excitement in her heart.

  These days, I've been living a very comfortable life, studying perfumes during the day and beautiful women at night, to the point where Lin Wanrong suspects that he's dreaming. To be able to serve as a house servant and reach this state is truly unparalleled in the world.

  That morning, Lin Wanrong was having a good dream when suddenly a maid called out from outside the door: "Third Brother, Third Brother——"

  Can't even let people sleep, is it Qin Xian'er bringing the famous needle to visit me again? This Qin Xian'er is something else, sending the famous needle in broad daylight too. Wasn't it just last night that I taught her to sing "On the Golden Mountain of Beijing"? How come she's looking for me so early today?

  Lin Wanrong put on her clothes and walked out, saying irritably: "What is it now? Who is it this time?"

  A little maid rushed over, panting and saying: "Third brother, third brother, hurry, hurry, the mistress is going to flog second miss."
