Chapter 134 If I could let you start over again...
There is a reason why Wenrouli became famous in Hangzhou in just a few years and surpassed Taogulou and Xunxiangzhai.
Once you enter, you will see not a spacious lobby like other brothels, but a small reception room. As soon as you enter, guests will be led into different small rooms.
Walking through the warm corridor with ambiguous lights and coming under the charming light of red candles, one feels very safe, as if being in the clouds.
Just like the name here.
May this life be gentle forever, and may the white clouds not envy the fairyland.
Then your grandma and the madam will come in and talk to you in detail about what kind of girl you like and whether there are any familiar brands.
When Wang Longqi arrived here, he was like a dragon swimming in the sea or a tiger returning to the mountains, feeling indescribably high-spirited and energetic.
When he was led into the small room, he said to the madam, "Please ask Aunt Yan to come over. I want to talk to her about something."
"Oh." The madam smiled and said, "Seventh Master Wang, if you want to take advantage of Miss Yan, you are born twenty years too late."
Wang Longqi didn't waste any words and directly put a large silver ingot on the table.
The madam quickly put the silver into her sleeve and gave a thumbs up: "The peaks coincide with each other."
Wang Longqi smiled slightly.
He knew that she was just making some jokes. Even if Aunt Yan still received customers, she was not someone a young master of his level could meet.
After a while, there was the sound of jingling bells and a silver bell-like laugh, and a person walked in.
Really.
She has a slim figure, a charming body, a fair face that contains a hint of charm, and her smile can be heard even before her red lips open.
It was Yan Xiaoyao, the famous girl in Hangzhou.
She had her hair in a bun, covered with gold, jade, pearls and jade. Her pretty face showed her age, but without any trace of it. She was not tall, but her figure was round and plump. Her waist was soft, and there seemed to be a different rhythm when she walked, with an indescribable charm and elegance.
But it was just a casual gesture.
All I can say is that some people are born beauties.
"Seventh Master Wang, you came here and asked for your Aunt Yan by name, what's the matter?"
As soon as she opened her mouth, she instantly made people feel very friendly. In fact, she and Wang Longqi had only met a few times, let alone being familiar with each other.
Over the years, she has been moving around in the upper class of Hangzhou Prefecture, with her long sleeves fluttering, and has made the acquaintance of countless powerful people.
But she can be so caring and ready to serve a young man from a small town. No wonder everyone speaks highly of her.
"Aunt Yan, I'm here to give you a big gift." Wang Longqi grinned.
Yan Xiaoyao glanced at Li Chu beside him, and his eyes turned.
Wang Longqi was very familiar with this scene.
He quickly waved his hands in response: "It's not a young Taoist priest, it's an old Taoist priest."
It seemed like he was talking nonsense, but Yan Xiaoyao understood it.
She sat down gracefully, wondering: "Old Taoist priest? Is he more handsome than this young Taoist priest?"
"Well, it's not about whether he's handsome or not." Wang Longqi explained: "He's the kind of person who is very rare..."
As he said this, he pointed at Li Chu.
"It's my friend's master. He has something to give to Aunt Yan. You can take a look at it first."
Upon hearing this, Li Chu took something out of his sleeve.
It was the pearl flower that Yu Qian'an gave him.
It can be seen that this pearl flower is very old. It is not very valuable and its luster is dim.
Compared with the ones on Yan Xiaoyao's head, none of them can compare.
But the moment she saw it, her whole body suddenly froze, as if she had been hit by Li Chu's acupoint pressing technique.
After a long while, she tremblingly took the string of beads from Li Chu's hand.
"You..." She seemed to want to ask something, but couldn't say it. After a long while, she murmured, "I..."
"The owner of this string of beads asked me to ask you two questions on his behalf." Wang Longqi said softly.
Yan Xiaoyao raised her head and fanned her eyes with her hands for a long time before looking at him again: "Ask."
"The first question is..." Wang Longqi asked slowly, "Was it your Wenrouli who did something to make Liu Qinglian from Taogu Tower turn into a demon?"
"Hmm?" A gleam of light flashed in Yan Xiaoyao's eyes.
She squeezed the pearl flower in her hand and glanced at Li Chu again, "Did he really ask you to ask this? Are you really his disciple?"
Li Chu nodded and said, "Yes."
"Then tell me...what's his name?" Yan Xiaoyao asked cautiously again.
"Li Chengfeng." Li Chu replied.
Fortunately, he remembered to ask before going out, otherwise the master had so many vests and he really wouldn't know which one he wore that year.
"He has a mole on his neck. Is it on the left or the right?"
"right."
"Does he like sweet or salty tofu pudding?"
"I love to eat anything as long as it's tofu."
"Does he prefer it from the front or the back?"
"Um?"
Li Chu was stunned.
This really stumped him.
I didn't expect to be tested on such a complete blind spot in knowledge.
"I know!" Wang Longqi raised his hand and laughed, "I know the answer to this question. I just happened to have discussed this question with the old abbot."
His face was filled with the joy of a poor student answering a question for the first time.
Especially a difficult question for a top student who has just passed the exam.
Yan Xiaoyao turned her gaze towards him.
"The old master said that this problem should be solved..." Wang Longqi said word by word: "It should be adapted to local conditions."
"So, Aunt Yan's words..."
Yan Xiaoyao's face turned cold, "That's enough!"
"Then..." Wang Longqi looked at her cautiously.
Yan Xiaoyao was silent for a while before she said, "I didn't participate in many of those dirty things, but I know... probably there were some."
"Do you know who is the boss behind Wenrouli?"
The two shook their heads.
Although Wenrouli rose quickly, the boss behind the scenes was extremely mysterious. The person who appeared in the open was Yan Xiaoyao, but as a former courtesan, she naturally did not have such great power.
"It's the King of Jiangnan."
"Ji Baxiao?" Wang Longqi exclaimed.
Behind Wenrouli is actually the King of Jiangnan. No wonder he has been so popular in recent years and no one can stop him.
only……
"As one of the kings of the Nine Provinces, he has enjoyed royal tributes for generations. His status is so noble, why would he come to the brothel to steal business?" He was a little surprised.
Yan Xiaoyao shook her head. "I don't know the details. I only know that in recent years, the Jiangnan Palace has been secretly involved in many businesses, and they are extremely secretive."
"Most of the big shops in Hangzhou that have grown very fast and whose owners cannot be found have their presence."
"If I wasn't working for Wen Rouli, I wouldn't have had the chance to know this."
Li Chu asked, "Miss Xiao Liu's matter is also related to King Jiangnan?"
"There's a rumor in Hangzhou that the King of Jiangnan once approached Taogulou to discuss buying Liu Qinglian. It's actually true." Yan Xiaoyao said, "But it's not because he likes women, but because Liu Qinglian suddenly appeared and greatly affected our business."
"He wanted to solve the problem quietly using his status as a prince, but he didn't expect to run into a snag."
"I heard he was very angry."
"There is a cultivator in our building, and everyone calls him 'Master Xu'. He is a close confidant of the King of Jiangnan. Two days ago, he revealed to me that the young prince was going to use other means."
"He just didn't tell me the specific tricks. I didn't expect that the Mid-Autumn Festival gift would turn out like that."
"If there was any manipulation, it should have been done by Master Xu." Yan Xiaoyao paused, and then said, "If you want to know more, I can go and find out more."
"No need." Li Chu shook his head slowly, "If there are risks, we can just do it ourselves."
Yan Xiaoyao seemed to have guessed his thoughts and said, "Master Xu has a very high level of cultivation, and is definitely not comparable to an ordinary brothel worshiper. You shouldn't..."
"Don't worry, Aunt Yan." Wang Longqi smiled indifferently.
He has almost blind confidence in Li Chu.
Li Chu also nodded, "I have always been prudent in my actions."
Looking at his serious expression, he really looks like a steady young man.
Yan Xiaoyao felt slightly relieved.
So she asked, "So...what was his second question?"
"Um... what he asked is..." Wang Longqi thought for a moment, then imitated Yu Qian'an's tone and said solemnly:
"If you could start over again, would you love me?"
Yan Xiaoyao's shoulders trembled suddenly.
It was as if an indescribable melody resounded in the room...
…
Xu Zifu is a worshiper of gentleness.
Generally, brothels would hire a priest to take charge. After all, this business was very unusual. It was both a place to consume money and a place of punishment. It was inevitable that there would be strange things happening, either man-made or from heaven.
Ordinary cultivators with some real talent, concerned about their reputation, usually would not work in a brothel.
But Xu Zifu is extraordinary.
He had practiced hard in Qingyang Palace for twenty years, and his cultivation had already reached the peak of the Shenhe Realm, and he could be said to be half a step away from becoming a dragon.
If you can make a little more progress, you can become a famous figure in the world.
But later he broke the rules of the sect and was expelled, thus losing his place to go.
But his cultivation was so high that he naturally had no shortage of places to go.
Soon, he was hired by the Jiangnan Palace with a large salary, and was sent to Wenrouli to take charge in recent years.
Originally, given his pride in coming from an immortal family, he didn't want to serve in such a place.
But... they gave too much.
In his heart, he has never been just a small brothel worshipper.
He is an aspiring Taoist who wants to realize his ideals here.
The environment in Wenrou was also good. Amid the fireworks, a spacious and clean room was specially built for him to practice. It was quiet and well-insulated, so he didn't have to worry about being disturbed.
Unless something strange happens, no one dares to disturb him for three or two months.
He had just done an important thing for the young prince the day before yesterday, so he thought he could have some peace and quiet for a while.
At this time, he was sitting cross-legged in meditation in the clean room.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps were heard outside.
Not like the usual guys.
With a sweep of his spiritual sense, he saw two young men coming to the door of the purification room.
The one in front was arrogant and dressed in brocade. The one behind him had a calm face and wore a green Taoist robe.
Xu Zifu frowned, wondering where this person came from and why he didn't know the rules.
He stood up and wanted to punish them.
Before he could open the door, the door to the clean room was kicked open by the young man in brocade clothes! Bang!
Xu Zifu was furious.
How rude!
His brows raised, murderous intent looming in his eyes.
scold!
In an instant, the entire clean room, including the huge warmth inside, and even the people living half a block outside, suddenly fell into a severe cold!
The chill does not come from outside, but from within.
This is already a pressure that is close to the Dragon Transformation Realm.
Just a thought can scare thousands of people!
The next second, a sharp sword would be unsheathed, piercing through the two young men.
This is what happens to uninvited guests!
but……
He was still a little slow after all.
As soon as the door opened, the little Taoist priest raised two fingers.
"Certainly."
Xu Zifu was horrified to find that as soon as he finished speaking, he could not move at all. Even his Qi circulation was instantly stagnant.
The chill around me disappeared.
But he began to feel a chill in his heart.
Immortal Technique...
Who is this young man?
Although he was born in an immortal sect and had more experience than ordinary people, it was also because of this that he knew what level of monsters these young cultivators who could inherit the immortal law were.
Why would such a person come to cause trouble for me?
I'm just a small brothel worshipper, okay?
He used his eyes to convey his weakness and helplessness, but no one would pity him.
Wang Longqi took out a large sack and put it over his upper body. Li Chu lifted him up horizontally over his shoulder and turned away.
Clean and crisp.
On this day, everyone inside and outside saw this strange scene.
An extremely handsome young Taoist priest, carrying a Taoist priest with a sack over his head, swaggered out of a brothel.
People on the street began to whisper, "What's going on?"
Someone speculated: "I don't know, maybe he didn't practice hard and secretly went to the brothel, so he was caught by his fellow disciples?"
"Hey, that's not a serious Taoist priest."
“…”
Yan Xiaoyao was upstairs, holding the railing, watching Li Chu and Wang Longqi carrying Xu Zifu away. In broad daylight, in the open air.
She was stunned.
The words that the young Taoist priest said a moment ago are still ringing in my ears.
I have always been prudent.
Um?
