After settling into the inn, Xiao Yuhan let Bai Yao play wildly for a few days until the day of the Qinhuai Tower Listening Conference.
When Xiao Yuhan led Bai Yao to Qinhuai Tower, he was dumbfounded. He suddenly realized that this was a brothel. How was he supposed to explain this place to Bai Yao?
As expected, Bai Yao, with her inquisitive nature, asked, "Senior...brother, what is Qinhuai Tower for?"
Xiao Yuhan coughed awkwardly twice, "Ahem... This Listening Music Conference is being held here, this must be some kind of elegant place, right?"
"Really? Then Yao'er must come visit often in the future!"
"Don't come here! This is the only time! Don't ever come to a place like this again, do you hear me?!" Xiao Yuhan said immediately.
Bai Yao thought for a moment. She would never disobey her master's words, so she nodded in agreement.
Although today is a music festival, Xiao Yuhan is definitely the first person to bring a little girl to such a place, which immediately attracted many strange looks. Fortunately, Xiao Yuhan did not take it to heart.
Upon entering Qinhuai Tower, the madam hurriedly came out to greet them. Xiao Yuhan had nothing but money, and with money, he could naturally get a good seat. However, just as Xiao Yuhan and Bai Yao sat down, a mocking laugh came from not far away.
Looking over, a young man in black, drinking wine and staring at Xiao Yuhan, was accompanied by two attendants. He asked with a smile, "Sir, you have quite the refined taste. Coming to Qinhuai Tower to find a lady and even bringing your own is truly rare. Could it be that you didn't come here today to see Jiang Ruoning's true face?"
Xiao Yuhan didn't want to cause any more trouble, so she smiled and shook her head, ignoring him.
But seeing that Xiao Yuhan didn't speak, the young man actually took the wine pot and cup and walked over. He poured a cup of wine in front of Xiao Yuhan, then looked Bai Yao up and down, his expression becoming somewhat surprised. He then grinned mischievously and said, "Sir, you have quite the refined taste. You can make a move at such a young age? But this little girl is absolutely stunning. Is she the maid you bought? Would you be willing to part with her and sell her to me? Just name your price!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuhan frowned. "Let me give you a piece of advice: not everyone is someone you can afford to offend."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yuhan picked up the wine cup and exerted a little force, turning the cup into dust and falling to the ground. However, the wine inside remained intact. Then, Xiao Yuhan flicked his finger, and the wine floating in front of him turned into drops of sharp sword energy that flew past the black-clad youth's ear, cutting off a strand of his hair. The drops then flew into the distance, creating several small holes in the stone wall of the Qinhuai Tower.
The young man in black was taken aback, then bowed and said, "I apologize for my rudeness. May I ask your esteemed name?"
Xiao Yuhan snorted lightly, immediately adopting an air of superiority, "You dare to ask my name?"
Xiao Yuhan was, after all, one of the Five Sword Immortals of the Heavenly Sword Sect and a master of the third level of the Void Realm. Since obtaining the immortal sword he named "Junmo", he had not actually fought anyone. Looking at the world, his strength was enough to make him the sect leader of a first-class sect, so he didn't need to worry about this little kid in front of him.
The two guards behind the young man couldn't stand it any longer and wanted to make a move, but the young man in black stopped them and said with a slight smile, "My name is Yang Yunsui. I have come here today with no intention of offending you, sir. I just want to make friends!"
Upon hearing Yang Yunsui's name, Xiao Yuhan seemed to recall something. He was briefly mentioned in the original work as the current leader of the Demon Sect. He was arrogant and domineering, but also had some cunning and ruthlessness. Since his father died, the Demon Sect had split, and this kid had been gathering his father's old followers, wanting to revive the Ancient Demon Sect once again. The original work didn't mention him much, and Xiao Yuhan only considered him a minor character.
Considering that one of the purposes of this trip was to investigate the Demonic Sect, he did not intend to turn against them immediately, because this kid might be the key to the investigation.
But then he thought of how Bai Yao had been insulted by his frivolous words, and he couldn't swallow his anger. If this were outside Qinhuai Tower, Xiao Yuhan would definitely have taught this brat a lesson. But since he had important business to attend to today, he didn't make a move. He just said coldly, "If you don't want to die, get out of here!"
The black-clad youth, Yang Yunsui, frowned. He knew that this was not a suitable place to fight, and the person in front of him was not someone to be trifled with. He could only slink away. However, given his vengeful nature, he was unlikely to let the matter rest so easily.
Xiao Yuhan ignored him, and simply picked up another teacup and poured herself a glass of wine.
Bai Yao asked quietly, "Master...who is that person? Why did he say he wanted to buy me?"
"Kid, don't ask so many questions! Remember to stay away from him in the future, he's no good!"
Bai Yao seemed to understand, then nodded and said, "Yao'er understands. No wonder Master is so angry."
Xiao Yuhan didn't say anything more. After all, he also planned to let Bai Yao gain some experience on this trip down the mountain. It would be best if she could make her own judgments on some things. But for some reason, he still didn't want Bai Yao to have too much contact with such disgusting people.
At this time, Qinhuai Tower gradually became lively, with guests arriving one after another. The wealthy sat upstairs, while the poor sat downstairs, to the point that many young masters who usually spent lavishly were relegated to the corners on both sides.
Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out downstairs. Xiao Yuhan and Bai Yao turned to look and saw a beggar running in madly. A group of thugs were chasing after him and beating him severely. The beggar cried out in pain, but the people below remained unmoved.
However, Xiao Yuhan's attention was drawn to this person, and he got up and stood in front of the fence to observe, his expression becoming serious.
The thugs downstairs beat the beggar more and more violently, and everyone got used to it. At this moment, the thugs grabbed the beggar and dragged him out.
A childish female voice suddenly came from upstairs, "Stop! What kind of nonsense is it for so many of you to bully a beggar?"
Xiao Yuhan turned around in surprise and found that Bai Yao was no longer where she was. Upon closer inspection, she saw that Bai Yao had jumped down from beside her and landed directly next to the beggar, pushing away the thugs.
"Where did this little kid come from? This beggar is causing trouble, so of course we have to kick him out!"
At this moment, the beggar seemed to have seen a savior and looked at Bai Yao, saying, "Little sister, please help me. I just want to ask for a drink. Please be kind and give me some wine!"
Bai Yao was stunned. She had seen beggars asking for money and food, but she had never seen a beggar asking for wine. Moreover, the beggar looked particularly distressed, as if not having wine would really kill her.
Bai Yao softened for a moment and said, "This...this person is my friend. We're sitting upstairs. Please let him in!"
The group of thugs looked at each other, because they knew that those who could sit upstairs were basically VIPs. Although it was strange that this young girl was here, they figured that she must have some important person behind her. So they looked up.
Xiao Yuhan waved his hand from upstairs, signaling them to bring the man up, and the thugs then stopped.
