"Young Master..."
Qin Weiyin licked her lips.
Although the literary aura of these people is thin, when accumulated, it can barely suffice for a al.
Moreover, daring to block the owner's path, isn't that seeking death?
"Forget it, let's hide for now. Qinhuai is right there, how can they possibly run away?"
Zhong Shenxiu smiled and walked over with Qin Weiyin, sitting down at a roadside stall.
This was a restaurant, and it was a bustling ti for business. Heaping bowls of white rice emitted fragrance, and all kinds of seasonal vegetables were available. If willing to pay a few more coins, there was fatty, greasy braised pork served.
'I must admit, no matter how exhausting and bitter the labor factories are, they are better than the countryside at this ti. Why else would there be endless workers even after so many cases of accidental deaths and deaths from overwork?'
Qin Weiyin was sowhat puzzled as to why the master liked to observe the actions of these lowly people.
But as it was the master's will, she could only follow silently.
After the laborers had eaten and left, so drinkers remained.
They often ordered a half or full jin of Old Bai Gan liquor, accompanied by appetizers, calling friends or drinking alone, under the dim street lamps, it had a unique charm.
The poorest among them had no appetizers, only using snails dipped in soy sauce to taste the flavor.
Those with slightly more spare money could order a dish of anise beans.
Bachelors who ate enough not to let their family go hungry often ordered two plates of peanuts and dried tofu, supposedly having a at flavor when combined.
Then there were foren or skilled workers, whose drinks were accompanied by roasted chicken and boiled pork, although they often didn't drink here.
Among these people, Zhong Shenxiu and Qin Weiyin stood out as absolute anomalies, attracting countless glances.
Seeing the sky darken, Zhong Shenxiu stood up and said, "Alright... let's go! To Qinhuai!"
"Okay."
Qin Weiyin happily agreed.
The allure of Qinhuai was not rely about selling flesh. Here, whether it's an oiran or ordinary girls, they emphasize ambiance in what they do, and visitors are noble figures from all corners, exchanging poetry with harmonious qin and se.
Occasionally, there are masters of lyrics appearing, and their literature spreads across the land.
Therefore, the literary aura is quite prosperous.
Otherwise, why would a civilized demon like her be obsessed with it?
Qinhuai, located beside Jinling City, is a large river with countless brothels along its banks. On the river are countless pleasure boats, brightly lit at night, like a city that never sleeps.
After eating and drinking, walking along the riverbank, with willows swaying gently and a soft breeze blowing, it is indeed a great joy of mankind.
Zhong Shenxiu glanced around, seeing that the lanterns beca brighter in the night not far away, indicating they were approaching the place.
At this mont, an eerie smile appeared on his face as he approached a certain spot by the shore.
Splash!
A figure with disheveled hair erged from the water with a swift dive, startled upon seeing soone by the shore.
"Female ghost?"
Zhong Shenxiu's mouth curled into a smile, pretending to be surprised.
This woman's figure was graceful, even with disheveled hair, she had washed away the mundanity, like a lotus erging from the water. Hearing his words, her eyebrows raised, but she quickly restrained herself and gracefully saluted: "Young Master, save !"
Behind Zhong Shenxiu, Qin Weiyin rolled her eyes, sneering internally: 'Is she... treating the master as a sucker? The master is rely playing along with her, hopefully, this woman won't regret it in the end...'
Back then, wasn't her Tingchao Pavilion attempting to sche against Zhong Shenxiu?
In the end, it resulted in losing the entire building along with herself...
...
Monts later.
Inside an inn.
A slightly tidied, washed, and changed woman stepped out, again saluting Zhong Shenxiu: "I am Miss Lv Luo, thank you for your life-saving grace, Young Master!"
Her every move seed to be specially trained, forming a unique charm, unconsciously releasing it while walking and speaking, naturally stirring the heartstrings of n.
"Miss Lv Luo, why did you co out of the water?" Zhong Shenxiu asked curiously.
"To be honest, I originally ca from a good family. Unfortunately, the family business attracted the Tai Sui Society's attention, leaving the family broken and the people gone, and I was sold to Feipu Tower. If I didn't escape, I feared being forced to entertain guests in a few days..."
Lv Luo replied tearfully.
"Once again, it's the Tai Sui Society? This gang is quite rampant, even under the Emperor's nose. It seems they have backing in the court!"
Zhong Shenxiu clenched his fist, full of righteous indignation.
"Young Master, I have no other ans to repay your great kindness. My family has fallen, and only one relative is still out there. Please send a ssage for ; my family mber will certainly reward you generously!"
Lv Luo bowed again.
"Hmm, leave it to ."
In Zhong Shenxiu's view, if it were a ga, this Lv Luo was the NPC involved in the Tai Sui Society's mission, and while he could directly charge in, having a pretext was better than none.
Thus, he cooperated and played along.
At this mont, a commotion arose in the corridor outside.
A group of gang mbers, wearing trench coats and black round hats, ard with axes and other weapons, were boldly knocking on the doors.
"It's here. Earlier, soone ntioned seeing a water-soaked woman check in!"
"Can't let that bitch run away!"
"Dared to steal from our Tai Sui Society, simply impatient to live, need to chop and feed her to the fish!"
...
Bang bang!
The door-knocking echoed loudly, turning Lv Luo's face pale, as she looked at Zhong Shenxiu with pleading eyes: "Young Master... save ..."
Throughout history, countless young heroes have succumbed to a beautiful woman's words.
'Hehe...'
Zhong Shenxiu sneered inwardly and made an expression of great righteousness on his face: "Of course, Lv Luo, take this talisman. Weiyin, go open the door. If anyone asks, say the soaking wet woman is you!"
"Okay."
Qin Weiyin agreed and went to open the door.
With a clattering sound, a group of black-clad n surged in, led by a man with triangular eyes who glanced around: "Why so long?"
"Who are you?"
Zhong Shenxiu stood up in anger: "How dare you barge into my room; do you know who I am?"
The man with triangular eyes looked at Zhong Shenxiu's sharply dressed suit, sneering: "We've been polite... Our Tai Sui Society stands here not by bullying the weak, have you seen a woman nad Lv Luo?"
He spoke while pulling out a black-and-white photo.
"Haven't seen her!"
Zhong Shenxiu shook his head.
"Liar!" The man with triangular eyes shouted with anger: "Soone clearly saw it just now! Search for ..."
Lv Luo watched, initially petrified with fear, but then noticed everyone's gaze automatically avoided her, clutching the talisman tightly, she had a realization.
"No!"
"No!"
A group of thugs searched thoroughly, yet found nothing, leaving the man with triangular eyes with a strange expression. He scrutinized Qin Weiyin a few tis: "Soone said earlier they saw you with a soaked woman..."
"It's ." Qin Weiyin replied.
The man with triangular eyes hesitated for a mont, glanced at the room impractical for hiding people, and ultimately waved his hand, leading his n away.
Bang!
The door closed, prompting Lv Luo's eyes to shine as she eagerly asked: "Is Young Master a practitioner?"
"Just learned a few simple tricks..."
Zhong Shenxiu waved his hand. Actually, the talisman he drew casually, the true Divine Skills were Qin Weiyin's knowledge modification.
Even if Lv Luo stood right in front of the thugs, they would forcibly ignore her.
