Chapter 257 I've been waiting for you for a long time
"Do you know where all the women here came from?"
Li Changhuai found it all very strange.
He's not a pimp here, how would he know?
but……
"Women who do this kind of work are only born through a few means: either they are sold by their families, or they sell themselves voluntarily, or their families have committed crimes and have been demoted to slaves by the court and sent to brothels."
Yu Zhiyi sneered.
But she could also tell that this man genuinely didn't know the truth, and that he was simply there to discuss business. She didn't hold a grudge, but simply said calmly, "What you've described are all sources of people from brothels outside. And here..."
She looked around, her eyes filled with pity: "The women here were all tricked and deceived, some were even kidnapped. The vast majority of them are from respectable families, and some are renowned courtesans who sell their art but not their bodies."
Li Changhuai was taken aback: "What?"
He genuinely didn't know.
Moreover, he might have doubted these words if they came from someone else, but coming from Yu Zhiyi...
As long as she didn't claim to be the greatest martial arts master in the world, he believed everything else about her fortune-telling.
Yu Zhiyi looked at him: "The women who were sent here may be dirty in your eyes, but to me, they are just a group of victims who have been harmed by bad people."
Her gaze was cold and indifferent, yet Li Changhuai inexplicably felt a little embarrassed.
He disliked this feeling: "What does it have to do with me? I didn't buy them here."
Yu Zhiyi sneered: "It's true that you didn't sell it, nor did any of the customers here, but... don't you really have any doubts?"
"Everyone who comes here is a prominent figure, and some of the girls in this fairy cave are daughters of prominent families. There are quite a few people who recognize their identities."
"But none of these people had any intention of rescuing the person."
"You might argue that the owner of the Immortal's Cave has extraordinary power, so most people don't dare to confront them directly. Fine, then let's not talk about whether to save them or not. Now, let's go back to our previous topic. Do you think those guests, if they see familiar girls, will suspect why they're here?"
"Unless those girls' families suddenly fell on hard times, any normal person would understand that these girls' origins are suspicious, right? But guess what? Did any of the customers who found familiar girls ever come back?"
Li Changhuai was speechless.
He's not stupid. If Yu Zhiyi dared to ask that, it means those people must have come again.
Yu Zhiyi confirmed his idea: "That's right, they're here again, and they specifically target the daughters of acquaintances."
Li Changhuai: "!"
Seeing her unfriendly look, he hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean that, I wanted to help you!"
Yu Zhiyi remained silent.
She knew he had no ulterior motives, otherwise he wouldn't be able to stand up straight and listen to her lecture.
"Wait a minute!" Li Changhuai slapped his forehead: "I almost got tricked by you."
He was somewhat dissatisfied: "Even if what you said is true, so what? You're trapped in a wolf's den now. No matter how good you are at scheming, it's useless. I'll take you out in the name of redeeming you later, so don't let it slip."
Yu Zhiyi smiled and said, "It's no use. Those people won't let you redeem them."
Li Changhuai chuckled: "Impossible."
He snapped open his folding fan, releasing a fragrant breeze, and laughed confidently and smugly: "I am the young master of Tianyu Manor, and people in the martial world have to give me some face. Redeeming someone from a mere trifle is a piece of cake."
Looking at his blindly confident appearance, Yu Zhiyi hesitated for a moment and then nodded: "Alright, you can give it a try."
Let's give it a try.
Li Changhuai was very confident in his identity, so he had a pimp brought in and said bluntly, "I want to redeem her."
The pimp paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Young Master Li, we don't have a rule about redeeming people here. Once you come to the Immortal's Cave, you are our people in life and in death. We are very sorry."
Li Changhuai's expression froze.
That woman was right after all?
He refused to believe it and his face turned cold: "You bastard, do you think this young master would be short of a little money to redeem himself?"
The pimp said with a forced smile, "Young Master Li, you misunderstand. I know you are not short of money, but this is the rule." He was humble but firm in his attitude: "Young Master Li, I am just a manager. Please do not make things difficult for me."
Li Changhuai's eyes grew even colder: "This young master is determined to take them away."
The pimp's smile also faded: "If Young Master Li insists on forcing this, I have no choice but to offend you."
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of guards jumped down from all directions, surrounding Yu Zhiyi and her companion.
Li Changhuai snapped his folding fan shut: "Do you really want to be my enemy?"
The pimp's tone remained humble: "Of course I don't want to. As long as Young Master Li doesn't make things difficult for me, I won't fight you."
Li Changhuai's anger subsided: "A mere immortal's cave dares to be an enemy of my Heavenly Domain Manor? How absurd!"
He pulled on Yu Zhiyi's sleeve and was about to walk outside.
As soon as he took this step, the people in the Immortal's Cave also moved.
Two experts attacked from the front and back, while a third person rushed towards Yu Zhiyi.
Li Changhuai snorted coldly, wielding his folding fan with great force, easily repelling the two attackers.
Then, with a spin, she kicked the person who was trying to grab Yu Zhiyi away.
After defeating the first wave of obstructors, he pulled Yu Zhiyi along and continued walking out.
The remaining experts swarmed forward.
Li Changhuai always kept in mind that he had to take Yu Zhiyi out and protect her completely.
However, one can't fight against four. If he were alone, he wouldn't be afraid even if dozens of them were coming at him.
But he also has a burden, which makes things a bit tricky.
Soon, footprints and even sword marks appeared on his back, arms, and legs.
The once dignified young master of Tianyu Manor was now in a sorry state, his face pale.
Suddenly, a figure descended silently from the sky.
The man exuded a powerful aura, his eyes sharp as blades, yet he revealed not a trace of his presence in his actions.
Li Changhuai, engrossed in the battle, was completely unaware of the danger until his sixth sense began to pound, alerting him to the approaching peril. He then turned around abruptly and saw a pair of unfathomable eyes.
The man moved with lightning speed, his movements almost imperceptible. In the blink of an eye, a palm strike imbued with terrifying internal force reached Li Changhuai's chest.
Li Changhuai's pupils contracted sharply.
He had a premonition that once this palm strike landed, he would surely die!
But he couldn't avoid it at all.
To be precise, he simply couldn't muster the slightest desire to avoid it.
It's over.
He closed his eyes in despair.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Suddenly, a clear, ethereal female voice rang out.
