Yan Meng, upon hearing Ye Haochuan's words, broke into a cold sweat and quickly explained, "No, Great Hero, this lady is the top courtesan I hired from Fenghua, not a proper lady!"
As he finished speaking, he hurriedly signaled to the lady, urging her to step forward and explain.
Yan Meng had every reason to be startled; Ye Haochuan had warned him before that if he continued his antics, he wouldn't receive the antidote.
Though the lady didn't know why Yan Meng feared Ye Haochuan so much, she, having been trained in reading people since childhood, knew exactly what to say.
"This... Great Hero, you are indeed mistaken. I was hired by Young Master Meng for entertainment!" She spoke, offering Ye Haochuan a slight bow. But as she looked at Ye Haochuan, there was a subtle hint of appraisal in her eyes.
Ye Haochuan's attire and cultivation didn't quite match the title of "Great Hero." However, as Yan Meng called him so, the lady had no choice but to follow suit.
