Just then, the door creaked open, and a man in black walked in.

The white-clad man, who was flanking two women, paused slightly for a moment before quietly letting out a sigh of relief upon seeing the newcomer's face.

If it were him, it would be normal for him not to be able to perceive it.

"Hey! Young master, what brings you here so suddenly?"

The girl in pink lying in the middle immediately brightened up.

She originally thought that this white-robed gentleman was the most handsome man she had ever seen, but unexpectedly another one appeared immediately!

Am I, a mere top courtesan in a brothel, having a stroke of good luck with men today?

The man who entered from behind was dressed in a clean black robe, spotless, as if all the chaos in the world could not get close to him.

Looking at his appearance, he had long, willow-like eyebrows, sword-like brows, and bright, star-like eyes; he was so handsome that he didn't seem like an ordinary person.

What is most striking are those eyes, as deep and still as an abyss, devoid of much emotional fluctuation, yet faintly gleaming with a cold yet sharp light.

Beneath his sword-like eyebrows, the curves outlined the man's expressionless face, conveying an insurmountable sense of distance.

If the young man in white robes gave off an impression of refinement, elegance, and approachable charm, then the man in black robes who came later could be described as heroic and extraordinary, with a more masculine yet also somewhat aloof demeanor.

"I bumped into an old friend while I was out, so I came in to have a drink!"

The man's tone was indifferent and cool, which matched his appearance perfectly.

"Uh..."

The pink-clad courtesan was taken aback, and was about to speak when the white-robed young man stopped her, smiling at the two women beside him: "Since someone has come to ask for wine, why don't you go and pour it for them! Don't worry, I'll pay for this young master's bill today!"

Upon hearing this, the two women immediately approached with smiles.

Just kidding, this guy is so handsome, they'd be willing to pay him to be with him.

If I wasn't afraid of upsetting the guests, I would have rushed over long ago.

However, the man in black did not change his expression when faced with the two women who approached him. He simply sat down casually in front of the table.

Then, everyone present except the two men froze instantly.

It was as if... a spell had been cast on them, immobilizing them.

However, this immobilization spell froze everything about them, including their thoughts and normal life processes.

The man in white robes frowned, a rare sight, seemingly displeased with the man in black's spoils. After pulling the woman away from his arms, he said coldly, "You know, I hate it when people touch my woman!"

The man in black seemed not to hear anything, simply raising his hand to pick up an unused wine glass and pour himself a drink.

Only then did he speak, "These three women are also considered your women?"

"It doesn't count before, it doesn't count later, but... it counts now!"

"Yeah?"

The man in black calmly finished his drink, put down his cup, and sat down before looking at the man opposite him and saying, "If you're not happy, you can challenge me to a fight. I happen to be free right now."

His tone was unusually flat, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

"..."

The man in white immediately straightened up and waved his hand, saying, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Women... I have plenty! We're all old bones, let's not keep bringing up fighting, it's too hurtful..."

Why are you here?

The man in black ignored their flirtatious remarks and simply asked his own question.

"That's an interesting question. Do I have to report to you if I go out drinking and meet women?"

After a long silence, the man in black shook his head seriously.

"Need not."

"..."

What a boring, taciturn person.

"And you? Why aren't you staying where you are? What are you doing running around everywhere?"

"I have no obligation to tell you."

"???"

Blanch!

What is this thing?

"I'm drinking with you because I think you're very similar to someone I know!" The man in black stared at him intently and said, "However, he didn't have your level of cultivation, and even in the end, he relied on a woman to stabilize the situation."

The man in white raised an eyebrow. "So, does that mean his woman is very powerful? Powerful enough to influence the entire situation?"

Seeing the other person nod, the white-robed young man smiled and said, "Well, this person is quite impressive. He can influence the course of the world with just his personal charm... I'm not like that. In crucial moments, I have to stand up and protect these women myself..."

The man in black shook his head. "The wine is finished, and I should be going now. Until we meet again!"

Before the words were even finished, and before the white-robed young man could react, he had already vanished.

"Holy crap! Is this the legendary decisive and efficient style? He's really quick on his feet!"

"Ouch!"

However, the two women who rushed over suddenly "came back to life" this time, and since there was no black-clad man to block them, they collided directly.

"Huh? How did I end up on the ground?"

What's even stranger is that the top courtesan found herself lying on the ground the moment she opened her eyes.

"Ouch! How did you fall down? Get up, get up!"

The man then helped the girl back into his arms.

"Where did that person go? They disappeared in the blink of an eye! Could it be a ghost?"

The young man in white smiled and asked, "Do you know who that person is?"

Who is it?

"The number one one-on-one fighter in the entire continent! No one can beat him, otherwise if he suddenly appeared and startled me, I would definitely fight him!"

"Giggle..."

The woman naturally thought the other party was joking. "Really? It's a pity he's unwilling, otherwise I would really like to learn a move or two from him! The girls of our Cuiyan Pavilion are all quite skilled!"

“That’s true…” the man nodded in agreement. “There are some things that you guys know more about.”

"What was that person doing over there just now? Why were they walking so fast?"

"He's probably in a hurry to find his little girl, isn't he?"

"A girl? She's so young and already has a child?"

"No, it's a child he's raising..." The man in white paused for a moment before saying, "Isn't it normal to have children? I have so many daughters!"

"As expected..." the top courtesan said with a smile, "You really are a bad man, you have a family and you still go out to philander!"

"Don't say that... At least here, I'm still very single-minded, I only like you, don't you think?"

"Tch! Where's your daughter? How old is she?"

"It's quite big..."

Hearing this, the man looked out the window and said wistfully, "She's so pretty and fresh-faced, it's just a pity... she met a scoundrel just like me..."

...

"Achoo!"

Shen Yunhao, who had returned to Lan Xiaofeng, suddenly sneezed.

"Strange, who's insulting me?"

Muttering to himself, he pushed the Wind Chariot back into the cave before nightfall and put it away.

But when he got to his room, his expression froze.

"Has anyone been here?"
