As Xu Miaoran's close aide, Hong Yuan had her own residence, Clear Pavilion. The pavilion had four maids that were her personal servants. In addition, she also had two large estates on Great Wind Island and several hundred acres of private property, employing several dozen people for them. But Hong Yuan still spent most of her time at Clear Pavilion, close to Xu Miaoran so that she could attend to her whenever she was called on.

Recently, Xu Miaoran had strictly ordered her to not leave the pavilion unless necessary, and if she did go out, she needed to go with someone. Xu Miaoran even ordered Bei Canghan and Cai Junyang to protect her.

The other members from the Basking Moon Sect had even heckled them when they had been given this mission.

A flute began to trill in the early morning air.

In a small flower pavilion outside Clear Pavilion, Bei Canghan was playing a moving tune on a jade flute.

The sound of the flute was as clear as a spring flowing into one's heart, the meandering song of an oriole.

Once the song ended, clapping came from behind him.

He turned to see Hong Yuan standing there with a smile on her face. Next to her was a maid holding a tray upon which was a bowl of lotus seed soup.

Hong Yuan said, "Big Brother Bei is excellent with the flute. It is truly rare to find such a melodious flute on this earth."

Her words were sweet and elegant, not at all like her usual hot and fiery self.

Bei Canghan put away the flute and smiled. "Miss Hong Yuan, don't tease me. It's just something I mess around with when I have the time, nothing worth your praise."

Hong Yuan walked up and offered the bowl of lotus seed soup. "Big Brother Bei has been through a lot in the last few days. I personally cooked this lotus seed soup this morning. While it's nothing good, please accept my kindness."

"How could I trouble you?" Bei Canghan wanted to refuse, but when he saw Hong Yuan pouting and seemingly about to cry if he refused, he accepted it.

Another voice rang
