"so what?"
Gu Qingze still looked puzzled. He still didn't understand what Song Jinnian's intention was in telling them these things.
They are not detectives and will not investigate something that has little to do with them just out of curiosity.
Moreover, they came to this brothel just to look for clues about the "Three Lives Flower".
He could sense that the chief courtesan and this brothel seemed to be hiding some unknown secrets, but they were also well aware of the truth that "curiosity kills the cat."
Song Jinnian looked at them and said seriously.
"I asked my sister, and she said this is the only strange thing that has happened in the brothel recently. I speculate that if there is a clue related to your mission, it might be this one."
After hearing this, Chu Lingxiao looked at Gu Qingze, then at Song Jinnian, and a polite yet helpless smile appeared on his face.
"Thank you for your concern, Brother Jinnian, but we can put this matter aside for now. After all, there are still several other places. We can explore those places first. If we can't find any clues there, we can come back and solve this matter later."
Obviously, Chu Lingxiao's idea was exactly the same as Gu Qingze's. They both didn't want to be involved in any troublesome things.
Song Jinnian nodded and did not feel disappointed.
He learned this information incidentally while chatting with his sister, and it didn't take him too much time.
It would be best if you could help them with their tasks, but it doesn't matter if you can't.
"Want some cakes? The cakes in this brothel are the best within a ten-mile radius. Come and try them, brothers."
Song Jinnian said as he handed over the plate.
Gu Qingze was a little surprised to see that he gave up the idea so quickly, but he did not show it on the surface. He just cooperated and took a piece of cake and put it in his mouth.
Chu Lingxiao also took a piece of cake and started eating.
This pastry has a delicate texture and just the right sweetness. The outer layer is crispy and the inner layer is soft and glutinous. The two blend together to form a unique and rich taste.
Gently bite it, and the rich aroma quickly spreads in the air. The mellow taste slowly melts in the mouth, and the delicate texture makes people immersed in it, unable to extricate themselves, and the aftertaste is endless.
So, Chu Lingxiao took another piece of cake and put it in his mouth.
"How about it?"
Song Jinnian asked expectantly.
"It's delicious. Thank you, Brother Jinnian, for sharing."
Gu Qingze said politely.
"That's good. I was worried that it wouldn't suit your human taste!" Song Jinnian smiled happily.
"By the way, where are you going to look for clues next?" Song Jinnian said enthusiastically.
"Hmm..." Chu Lingxiao thought for a moment, "Let's go one by one according to the distance of the red circles on the map."
"So, our next stop is the auction house." Song Jinnian's eyes lit up. "Although our family hasn't invested here, I go there often and am quite familiar with the demon tribe there."
"Then I'll have to trouble Brother Jinnian." Gu Qingze said with a smile.
After the three of them finished eating the cakes, they left the brothel together and got on the "demon car".
Along the way, Song Jinnian enthusiastically introduced them to various interesting things in the city, making the originally serious atmosphere relaxed and cheerful.
However, Chu Lingxiao could feel that Gu Qingze beside him was a little absent-minded.
"You still care, don't you?"
"What?"
Gu Qingze didn't react for a moment.
"The strangeness of the brothel."
Chu Lingxiao looked at his face seriously, with some inquiry in his eyes, trying to analyze something from his micro-expressions.
Gu Qingze was amused by his behavior, shook his head, and said helplessly.
"I do care, but I'm not that concerned. Every place has its own secrets. This secret didn't cause any innocent monster deaths or injuries, and it has nothing to do with the "Three Lives Flower" clue. So there's no need to dig into it, right?"
"It's still uncertain."
Chu Lingxiao chuckled.
"What's the meaning?"
"It's still unclear whether this secret is related to the clues to the 'Three Lives Flower'. Perhaps after exploring this mystery, we will eventually have to return here to solve it."
