Star Trace Gate

Under the stage, next to the square table.

Facing the sudden invitation from Butler Zhu, Ren Ye was somewhat confused. What did the Wang family want to see him for? I had no contact with them before.

"Please come in, Brother Li." Butler Zhu half bent over and greeted him again in a very polite manner.

"Then you guys watch. I'll go up with Brother Zhu." Ren also turned his head to look at his three teammates and hinted wildly with his eyes, "Don't be stupid and just watch the show here. Pay attention to the upstairs. Don't let me get killed up there while you're still clapping below."

The three of them gave him a steady look in return.

"Let's go." Ren also stood up.

"Yes, please."

Butler Zhu led the way, following the aisle gap in the "VIP table" area, and led Ren all the way to the three-story building opposite the stage.

Due to viewing angle issues, the first floor of this small building is blocked by the audience outside and the stage cannot be seen, so there is no one on this floor.

Walking up the wooden staircase to the third floor, Butler Zhu walked to the door of the private room in the middle and opened it: "Miss, someone is here."

"Come in." A slightly hoarse female voice came from the private room. It was not unpleasant to hear, but rather had a lot of personality.

"please."

Butler Zhu smiled and nodded at Ren Ye.

"...Oh." Ren also responded and took the lead to walk into the private room.

He saw that in the window facing the stage, there was a square table with tea and snacks on it. A woman was sitting on a chair with her back to him. She had a slim figure and long hair draped over her shoulders.

Butler Zhu took small steps and came to the side of the woman, half bent over and said, "Miss, Mr. Li is here."

"Okay, go and do your work."

"You guys chat, you guys chat, hehe." After getting the agreement, Butler Zhu whispered to Ren Ye, "This is the eldest daughter of my Wang family, Wang Lili. Among those who have come to the mansion to pay their respects in the past few days, there are many wealthy nobles, gentry and officials, but you are the only one who can be invited by my young lady to the private room for a chat."

"I am extremely humbled. I am extremely humbled." Ren also revealed an expression of someone trying to curry favor with the powerful and wealthy.

Butler Zhu stopped there, smiled and left quickly, closing the door from the outside.

Compared with the noise and bustle outside, this room seems much quieter, and the aroma of tea is everywhere.

"Mr. Li, please sit down." Wang Lili spoke.

Ren hesitated for a moment, then walked to the left side of the square table and sat on a tall chair.

There was a bright light in the room, and as soon as Ren sat down, he saw Wang Lili's face.

She is really beautiful. To use a more fashionable term today, this girl has the appearance of a "zoo girl".

The bones in her cheeks are weak. Although she does not have sharp edges and a high nose bridge, her high skull top is very advantageous. She has a small skull and a small face. Her facial features are soft and gentle, revealing a sense of laziness, especially her pair of cat-like eyes, which are filled with a sexy, charming and high-end feeling.

The most important thing is that Wang Lili's dress is also very fashionable. She doesn't look like a "village" girl at all. She wears a Chinese cheongsam, which shows her slim figure and round waist. Her two slender legs are covered with thin flesh-colored stockings, her feet are wearing black high heels, and her long hair is draped over her shoulders, perfectly interpreting the classical oriental beauty.

Ren Ye looked at her appearance and style and thought she looked very much like a very popular female star, Ni X.

After sitting down, Wang Lili also turned her head slightly to look at Ren Ye, with a faint smile on her pretty face, and said: "Uncle Zhu, today I happened to mention that among the people who came to pay their respects to the Gao family, there is a young hero who was born with a noble face and outstanding temperament. After seeing him tonight, it is true that his reputation is well-deserved."

Ren was also embarrassed when he heard this. He thought to himself, I am already in my twenties, isn't it too presumptuous to address him as a teenager?

"Haha, Butler Zhu, thank you for the compliment." Ren also smiled politely.

Wang Lili didn't say anything more. She just raised her soft and boneless little hand, poured a cup of tea for Ren Ye, pushed it over and said, "Please have some tea."

"Thank you, Miss Wang."

Although Ren Ye didn't know what she was up to, he couldn't ask her proactively. He could only pretend to be polite by picking up the teacup and taking two sips.

After the two greeted each other, the room fell silent.

After a long while, the show on the stage reached its climax and thunderous applause broke out from the audience.

Wang Lili sat upright on a chair, chuckled and commented: "What a good show."

Ren also secretly observed her expression, analyzing the woman's every move in his mind, and suddenly felt a strange feeling.

The other person's eyes are bright and when talking to people, the subtle expressions on her pretty face change a lot. These details all show that... she seems to be different from other residual soul gate spirits. Her mind is more active, like an enlightened person.

But as far as the mechanism of this star gate is concerned, the setting of story restoration is more obvious. In such a situation, it is generally not suitable for the existence of an enlightened person, otherwise her behavior will be unpredictable. How many patches would be needed for the gate?

Is it the door eye?

It doesn't seem likely, at least it won't come into contact with me.

Is that a player?

No, this is even more impossible. The other party is the eldest daughter of the Wang family, and the attitude of housekeeper Zhu towards her is obviously very respectful. If it is a player, it can only be role-playing, but this kind of role-playing is equivalent to opening a God's perspective and completely loses fairness.

Ren Ye had many guesses in his mind, but he was not sure about Wang Lili's condition.

"...Mr. Li, what do you think of this play?" Wang Lili suddenly asked.

Ren was also stunned for a moment, and said shyly: "I don't know much about opera, I just listen to it for fun."

Wang Lili was stunned for a moment, then smiled charmingly, "Mr. Li is indeed smart and a master at pretending to be confused. You know very well that I'm not talking about this drama."

I'm pretending to be confused, I really don't understand what you are talking about, Jimei! Ren Ye complained in his heart and laughed awkwardly: "Ms. Wang, I am naturally dull, please speak clearly."

Wang Lili was silent for a moment: "I'm talking about the scene in Qijia Town. What do you think?"

I hate people who ask riddles like this the most... Ren Ye blinked and responded vaguely, "I am just a person who came with Butler Liu to celebrate his birthday. I am a nobody. I can't understand the script, and it's impossible for me to perform on stage."

"Mr. Li, you are too modest." Wang Lili frowned slightly and picked up the teacup: "I heard that Butler Liu always consults you on everything and is very respectful to you. This is not the attitude a butler should have towards his servants and bodyguards."

Ren Ye was silent.

"Is Mr. Gao in good health recently?" Wang Lili took a sip of tea and turned to look at Ren Ye.

"Very good." Ren Ye listened to the other party's words and instantly changed his response strategy. He thought that since the other party guessed that his status was quite high, he might as well act it out. This way, he might be able to get some useful information.

"Are you still unable to sleep all night like before?" A faint smile appeared on Wang Lili's cheek.

Ren Ye blinked his clever eyes and replied with a rather vague but thought-provoking sentence: "My master eats well and sleeps well, so how could he have trouble sleeping all night? It's just that he occasionally misses Mr. Wang."

"Haha." Wang Lili smiled as if I had guessed it right. "Mr. Li, you really don't even draft a lie. If my uncle Gao really has nothing to worry about, then why would he carry six large boxes of gifts and send someone to celebrate my father's birthday?"

Is it not okay to have money? Ren Ye just smiled and didn't respond.

"It's been almost twenty years since the incident in the Lust Village. The only survivor of the Shen family is probably capable of revenge." Wang Lili said calmly, "Some say he is hiding in Qijia Town, pretending to be crazy and stupid to hide himself. Sooner or later... he will avenge this blood feud."

Ren's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

"Several families have blood on their hands, who can really stay out of it?" Wang Lili turned to look at Ren Ye: "I guess, your Gao family sent people here this time, probably to ask my Wang family to help kill this potential threat?"

Ren Ye looked at her and smiled bitterly, "How could we servants know so much about the blood on our hands? But before we left, Master Gao told us to understand the rules, know the etiquette, and maintain good relations with the Wang family for generations."

"Giggle!"

Hearing this, Wang Lili chuckled and said, "Friends for generations? Back then... when my father got that treasure, Mr. Gao probably wished that my father would die a sudden death soon!"

That’s a lot of information!

Ren Ye suppressed his inner curiosity and excitement, and did not foolishly ask. He just revealed a very intriguing expression and stopped talking.

The two of them were silent for a long time again, and Wang Lili suddenly sighed: "Alas, this concert always sings these boring excerpts. I am tired of listening to them."

Ren didn't respond.

"Mr. Li, if you have nothing to do later, why not come with me to my home, have some tea and chat?" Wang Lili took the initiative to invite.

Let's go home and talk. You won't... won't you? Ren Ye looked at her and smiled slowly, "Okay."

"I'll ask Butler Zhu to prepare the car, and you can go back with me."

"I have a few friends downstairs, I need to say hello to them." Ren Ye replied.

"Okay." Wang Lili agreed, but he had no intention of inviting his three friends to go home with him.

Seeing her attitude, Ren Ye knew in his heart that this woman didn't want other people to be present.

Get up, say goodbye, and go downstairs.

……

Five minutes later, on the small table outside the stage.

"Who is looking for you?" Lao Liu asked curiously.

Jiang Qin also looked at Ren Ye, waiting for his response.

Ren also blinked his eyes: "It's the eldest daughter of the Wang family, Wang Lili. She chatted with me for a few words and invited me to her boudoir to chat!"

After the words fell, the expressions of the several grown men became very strange and stunned, while Xu Qingzhao frowned and inexplicably exuded an air of dissatisfaction.

"I am ready to go!" Ren also expressed his opinion.

When Lao Liu heard this, his back teeth were about to break: "I advise you to be more stable! If you must go... can you take me with you? I am very humorous and good at chatting."

Mr. Jiang had a strange expression on his face: "This Star Gate belongs to your father, right? How come you can take both men and women?"
