Yu Yue shifted his thoughts from Bu Liuyan's graceful body to the things she told him.    

... "Do you know what kind of power controls the Heavenly Fragrance Hall?"    

Yu Yue thought carefully and shook his head. "I don't know."    

Bu Liuyan said, "The Heavenly Fragrance Hall is controlled by a huge power called Wanhua Pavilion."    

Wanhua Pavilion!    

Yu Yue remembered this unfamiliar name in his heart. He had never heard of such a name before.    

"Is this Wanhua Pavilion really powerful? Why have I never heard of it before?"    

Bu Liuyan slightly nodded her head, "That's right, very strong. The Wanhua Pavilion can be considered as one of the top powers in the entire Oracle Continent. Its overall power is definitely not inferior to the Bajue Guild and the Wind and Cloud Guild. However, it was not as famous as the two major guilds. The Wanhua Pavilion did underground business. Most of them were like the Fragrant Sky Pavilion's Wind and Moon businesses, as well as some other dark businesses. Most of the businesses were shady, which was why it hid itself very well. If I didn't really understand it, very few people would know its name."    

Yu Yue clicked his tongue. In the past, he knew that the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion had a strong backer, but he never thought that it would be one of the top powers in Oracle Continent.    

"Then, what does this have to do with the Joust For A Spouse Festival?"    

Bu Liuyan paused for a moment and said, "Of course. Although the Joust For A Spouse Festival uses the name of the Joust For A Spouse Festival, its intrinsic nature is to hold a Martial Competition and let the members of the Wind Cloud Association and the Bajue Guild fight each other. After both sides suffer heavy losses, the sudden appearance of the Wanhua Pavilion will rule the entire Qiluo City! "    

This huge conspiracy was suddenly pierced through the window paper by her.    

No wonder she used the Sound Magic Stone. If these words were heard by the people of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, she would definitely be severely punished.    

And the true colors of this Joust For A Spouse Festival was actually trying to overturn the power of the Qiluo City. It was truly a terrifying conspiracy.    

"Then, why did they insist on using you as the... prize for this Joust For A Spouse Festival? Didn't you always become the number one signboard of this place amongst the candidates of the Heavenly Fragrance Hall? They were willing to treat you as a prize?"    

Treating someone as a prize, why does it sound so awkward? However, it was also true that the Joust For A Spouse Festival was a real event.    

She shook her head and said in a low voice: "I... Actually, I was the chess piece that they planted in the Qiluo City from the very beginning... The moment the news of the Joust For A Spouse Festival spread, I was already an abandoned chess piece..."    

Speaking up to this point, Bu Liuyan's voice trembled slightly imperceptibly. It seemed like she recalled the miserable experiences of these few years.    

Feeling the sorrowful trembling of the person in his arms, a kind of pity rose in Yu Yue's heart. He really could not sit by and do nothing. He gently patted her shoulder to give her some small comfort.    

Just now, Bu Liuyan was sitting in Yu Yue's arms. He had no place to put his hands. He could not hug her, could he? He could only put his hands on the bed.    

Under Yu Yue's comforting, her trembling stopped. He wanted to withdraw his hands just like that, but unexpectedly, a pair of gentle green fingers grabbed his hands and pulled them to the flat abdomen. Then, his other hand was also grabbed, held together with Ling Ran's other hand.    

He was completely stunned. At this moment, it was actually him hugging Bu Liuyan... This was really...    

However, just as he was shocked, that soft and delicate body actually leaned back and completely entered his embrace.    

The silky hair that was like a waterfall was right in front of him, and a refreshing fragrance came from the hair, wrapping around his sense of smell.    

Bu Liuyan shrank her body like a kitten that found a place to stay. Her gentle voice continued to come out.    

"I was recruited by the Wanhua Pavilion since I was very young. Because of my talent, I was selected to be specially trained and learned many skills, such as this ancient zither and the painting and so on..."    

Yu Yue nodded as he listened. It seemed like the high level appraiser that attracted him was also one of the skills that were trained.    

She continued, "When I was 16 years old, I was brought to Qiluo City. I came to the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion. But unlike the other girls, the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion didn't allow me to receive any guests. Instead, it allowed me to live comfortably here. At first, I was also puzzled as to why they brought me here. After that, I found out... They were trying to create momentum for me. They spent a lot of effort to spread the name of me, the new Hua Kui of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, throughout the entire Qiluo City. In the end, it became a scene that everyone knew about. "    

Yu Yue nodded in his heart. No wonder Bu Liuyan's reputation in the Qiluo City was so high. Normally, no matter how beautiful and elegant a Hua Kui was, he was just a lowly servant with a low status. How could he be worthy of the reputation of the entire city? Now, it seemed like everything had been created by the Wanhua Pavilion.    

"As the most famous Courtesan Belle, naturally, countless people came here because of her fame. Murong Wu from the Wind Cloud Guild and Xiong Zheng from the Bajue Guild are one of them, and they are the true targets of the Wanhua Pavilion.    

When the Wanhua Pavilion saw the two of them being hooked, they wanted to let them see me. No matter what method I use, the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion ordered me to trap the two of them in my heart. I don't want to do this. They threatened me that if I didn't complete my mission, I would do something that I would regret. I... "    

Bu Liuyan's voice became softer and softer until she became completely silent.    

"Then they all fell in love with you and publicly said things that they wanted to pursue you?"    

He said the words that Bu Liuyan was unable to say after that. This was also a fact that everyone in the city knew.    

Bu Liuyan was silent. Although she could not see her expression, just by hugging her, her delicate body could not help but tremble slightly. One could tell her mood.    

She was afraid.    

Although she did not say it clearly, Yu Yue could roughly guess that the so-called things that made her regret would most likely be related to Lv.    

As a young girl who lived in a secluded room, she had always been locked up and trained. She had never seen anyone before, but she was suddenly ordered to receive a guest. Furthermore, they were two popular big presidents. If she took a wrong step, misfortune would happen. That sort of feeling was extremely terrifying.    

Speaking up to this point, Yu Yue now knew the truth of the whole incident.    

It was the Wanhua Pavilion who coveted the fertile land of Qiluo City. A few years ago, they had placed Bu Liuyan as a chess piece here. It was only now that they started the Joust For A Spouse Festival and were ready to capture the two major guilds in one fell swoop.    

If Yu Yue had not appeared in this chess game, he would have definitely succeeded.    

Ever since the news of the Joust For A Spouse Festival had spread, there had been constant friction between the two major guilds. Today's Joust For A Spouse Festival had reached its peak. If it wasn't for him suppressing everyone with his strength, it would definitely cause a huge conflict between the two great guilds, and even erupt into a battle. In the end, the Wanhua Pavilion's powder ink that had been recuperating for a long time appeared. They would clean up the mess in Qiluo City in one fell swoop.    

Although using a woman was a despicable act, he had to admit that this was a clever move.    

He looked at the beauty in his arms and felt pity in his heart.    

Canary, who was locked in a cage, was talking about a lamentable woman like Bu Liuyan. She had lived in fear for more than ten years, and in the end, she was only an abandoned child. Staying in a deep and secluded room, only playing the Prime Zither all day could make one's heart relax slightly. It was no wonder that she could compose such a sad song like the Autumn Moon of Han Palace.    

It was truly a scene, but it was also even more tragic.
