"Young Master, the Rookie Dog Gang wishes to meet with you."
"No, I won't see you!"
"Young Master, the Lingyun Gang wishes to meet with you."
"not see!"
"The Purple Cloud Gang requests an audience with you."
"not see!"
...
After spending several days in Nancheng, Xie Wei made no move whatsoever, which was understandable given that some people were getting impatient.
But these gangs came simply to sound him out on orders from above.
Xie Weiwu refused them all.
These gangs couldn't provide Xie Wei with the value he wanted, so there was no need to meet them.
Moreover, Xie Wei's original plan was to refuse for a while, so that their suspicions would deepen.
Every few days, Zheng Qi would approach Xie Wei again. "Young Master, this time it's Black Rose, the leader of the Rose Gang, who wants to meet with you."
"Hmm?" Xie Wei kept rubbing his fingertips together, and after thinking for only a few seconds, he said, "Agree to it."
The meeting place was inside a tavern called Rose.
It's obvious that this is Rose Gang property, and it might even be their headquarters.
For most people, arranging a meeting at the other person's home base would be considered impolite, but for Xie Wei, it was a sign of complete honesty.
The tavern was brightly lit and bustling. Xie Wei explained his purpose, and his underlings led them to a room on the second floor.
The room was actually quite large, with two glass tables joined together, on which were placed ashtrays, glasses, dice, and other items, and sofas on both sides.
Xie Wei glanced around the room, sat down on the sofa, and Zheng Qi stood behind him.
I glanced at the time. He was the one who made the appointment, yet he was late. Was he trying to provoke me?
"Deng deng deng, deng deng deng, deng deng deng"
Hearing the sound of high heels on the ground, Xie Wei turned his head to look.
A woman with long black hair cascading down her back, wearing a half-mask adorned with roses, a black cheongsam dress, black stockings over her slender legs, and black high heels, walked slowly with a cat-like gait.
This rose mask must be a magical artifact that can prevent others from seeing the owner's face, allowing them to see only the other person's eyes, which are like black gems submerged in a pool of water, and their cherry lips and jade teeth that are not covered.
Xie Wei glanced at him and saw that he was in the late stage of the Innate Realm, but his aura was stronger than that of someone in the late stage of the Innate Realm, and he seemed to be about to break through to the Mortal Realm.
Xie Wei then looked at the three people standing behind her, one man and two women, all of whom had reached the late stage of the Innate Realm. She figured these must be the three leaders of the Rose Gang: Red Jade, Amber, and Agate.
With such a lineup, it's no wonder they were able to take over the West District right under the noses of so many powerful forces.
Black Rose paused for a moment when she saw Xie Wei in person, then smiled and moved her hand down her cheongsam to sit down in front of Xie Wei.
The other person seemed like a fairy, with an indistinct face and a figure that never seemed to go hungry. Every smile, every gesture was incredibly alluring.
"I've long admired your name, thank you, Young Master Xie." Black Rose's voice wasn't unpleasant; on the contrary, it was deep and charming, with a languid allure that made it impossible to ignore.
These polite words are just for show; if you take them seriously, you've already lost.
"Each other is in the same boat"
"Something just tripped me up, so I couldn't come out to greet you right away," seemed to be the explanation for his lateness.
Xie Wei nodded, accepting this explanation. Does it really matter whether what the other party said is true or false?
"So, what brings you to Nancheng, Third Young Master?" Black Rose skipped the pleasantries. Xie Wei didn't seem like the type to waste time on pleasantries and went straight to the main point of the meeting.
Hearing this, Xie Wei leaned back on the sofa, exuding a lazy air, which gave him the air of a spoiled brat. He glanced at Black Rose and said slowly.
"I heard there is a beauty in the South City, whose face and name are unknown to anyone, and she is called Black Rose by the people of the South City."
As he spoke, Xie Wei chuckled again, "Such a mysterious beauty, Xie San naturally came here because of her reputation."
"Now that I see her, she truly is a beauty."
Hearing Xie Wei say that, Black Rose glanced at Xie Wei with an abnormal expression, but did not answer him.
They had barely started chatting when Black Rose took a cigarette from the pack on the table, glanced at Xie Wei, and then put the cigarette down.
This is being looked down upon, ha.
"Can I borrow a light?" Xie Wei conjured up a cigarette and gestured to Black Rose as if by magic.
"Third Young Master is quite an interesting person, not at all what I imagined." Black Rose slid the specially made lighter on the table down to his face.
"Phew, nothing interesting or not. As the heir of the Xie family, I still have this much social skill." Xie Wei skillfully lit a cigarette, took a slow drag, and then exhaled the smoke from his mouth.
He just doesn't want to smoke, not that he can't. Even his father sometimes smokes cigars for social occasions.
Xie Wei simply couldn't stand that stuff.
However, cultivators shouldn't be addicted to this kind of thing. Xie Wei certainly isn't, but I don't know about others.
"If the Third Young Master doesn't tell the truth, I'll be in a difficult position," Black Rose said, puffing out smoke and flicking the ash with the tip of her little finger as she spoke.
"The truth? What does Miss Black Rose want to hear? I'll tell you everything I know." Xie Wei's tone became even more serious as he lit a cigarette, with a slight smile on his lips, making him look somewhat roguish and handsome.
This unreliable behavior didn't anger Black Rose; Xie Wei even saw that she seemed to smile slightly.
Xie Wei finished the cigarette just like that. He hadn't smoked in a long time and his mouth felt a little dry.
