When Li Ming reached at the entrance of the Black market, she realized that the said old man was no one other than the Old Mo from the orphanage.

"Miss Li!" The old man shouted with happiness as he saw his Master coming towards them.

The guards who were standing at the entrance bowed to Li Ming as they continued to hold the old man.

"He's indeed my man. I'm seriously sorry for the inconvenience caused. I'll make sure to issue a token from the Black Jade Inn, so there will not be similar cases like this in future." Li Ming said as she bowed slightly to the head guard. Her tone was humble and without any attitude.

The guard was happy to find that the Young Miss didn't cause a scene like he had thought.

He had been listening to the great rumors about this girl and the Black Jade Inn.

They said that the Young Miss of the Black Jade Inn was talented and a rare cultivator.

According to the rumors, she had a very humble attitude and was the best cook in the entire Han Empire.

At least he found out that one of those rumors was true.

He didn't made things hard for her and let her take the old man with her to the Black Jade Inn.

**************

Back at the Black Jade Inn...

Li Ming asked the Old Mo to sit down and also took a seat.

"You can now return back to upstairs." Li Ming said to Ruoshan as she poured tea for the Old Mo.

She noticed that Ruoshan didn't move, so she turned towards him and asked while raising her eyebrows, "Do you need something?"

Ruoshan sighed as he shook his head. Who knew what this man was thinking in his mind. But then he turned around and left.

Since it was after noon, so the inn was mostly empty. Only a few tables were occupied.

Li Ming looked at Old Mo and asked, "Why are you here? Does something happened in the orphanage?"

Old Mo put down his tea cup as he hurriedly said, "Miss Li, two days ago we received the message from the dealers. They were coming tomorrow midnight to take the next group of children. I was so scared and didn't know how to approach you. So, I finally decided to come here but the guards didn't allow me to enter. I don't even know if you are here or not."

Li Ming cursed in her heart. This was such a serious situation, if she had not decided to return back to the inn, then maybe something very wrong might have happened.

"The communication system of this world su*ks!" Li Ming whisper shouted as she punched the table with her small fist.

"Now that's a unique scene to come across." A voice which Li Ming recognized instantly, said from behind her.

She turned around to see Wei Rong and Wei Juan (second Young Master of General manor). The first one looked amused while the second one was looking surprised.

She had met Wei Juan in the last few months and by now she believed that the entire Younger Generation of General Wei was at least not brats and neither carried bad attitude.

She actually was happy to have friends like them. When Snowy told her that in the books he had read, nearly all the Young Masters and Misses of high profile were morons and bit**es, she actually believed in that idiot.

But fortunately she didn't end up with those kind of people. Although she never heard a single better thing about the children of the Prime Minister Zhu, but due to some luck, in the past five months, she had met only one of the Younger generation of Prime Minister manor and it was not a pleasant meeting!

Both the Young Masters took a seat at her table. Old Mo though was not sure of their identity but he was also not an idiot.

Of course someone who's associated with his Master would be of high rank.

So, he stood up and properly greeted the two good looking Young Masters, who in return slightly nodded their heads but didn't pay any more attention to him.

Wei Rong signaled a maid to bring some wine as he studied the little girl who was completely ignoring him and his brother.

After a minute or two, the maid returned with a jar of wine and left.

Wei Rong opened the jar and took a small sniff from it but the expression on his face turned to disappointment as soon as he realized that the wine in his hand was a normal wine and not those special wines of Li Ming.

He closed the jar and put it aside. He looked at Li Ming who was still ignoring him and said with a sweet voice, "Ming Ming, where are those special wines of yours? We are meeting after nearly a month, shouldn't you let us two take a small taste of those elixirs (wine)."

Li Ming rubbed her forehead and looked at the two Young Masters. She had no idea how she ended up being friends with these shameless people.

"My stock of wine is nearly at its finishing point. Don't even think that I'm going to give you any of it. Moreover I'm in a bad mood, so don't disturb me." Li Ming said as she was still in some deep thoughts.

"Huh? Why do you look like you are in deep trouble and you were even using bad language when we came here!" Wei Juan asked. His tone was like of a big brother who was reprimanding his younger sister.

Li Ming looked at the two men seriously and suddenly an evil smile appeared in her eyes.

Both Wei Rong and Wei Juan were taken aback. The cold and evil look in her eyes send cold shivers down their backs.

"Do you guys enjoy street shows?" Li Ming asked with a little excitement.

"Don't tell me you want to watch a street show? You don't appear to be someone who enjoys such things!" Wei Juan said as he started fanning himself with his fan.

"You know nothing! I'm busy today, so I'm not going to entertain you guys." Li Ming said and stood up.

Old Mo also took his leave and followed Li Ming out of the room.
