Chapter 138 Let's go listen to some music
Inside the city, in an elegant waterside pavilion, two handsome men were raising their cups to each other.
"I never expected that the people from the Immortal Alliance would be so stupid as to send those immature kids, resulting in such a heavy loss of life."
A effeminate man in a black cloak sneered, glancing at the man in brocade robes beside him. He said mockingly, "You are, after all, the ruler of the Southern Region. The City of Ten Thousand Sins is running rampant in the Eastern Region, and you're not going to do anything about it?"
Why should I care?
Yan Xiao smiled, put down the jade cup in his hand, and said, "The Southern Region has always been a chaotic place without order. Although they respectfully call me 'Lord,' have they ever truly submitted to me in their hearts?"
"Besides, the cultivation world has been dormant for too long. It's time for some chaos to break out. Otherwise, how will we pass the time?"
Han Qiao sighed and said, "Tch, you're a lazy bum who goes around looking for fun. I'm not like you."
Yan Xiao leaned back in his chair, a mocking expression on his face, and said, "Hey, High Priest, you still haven't found your Demon Lord? So many years have passed, how could you possibly find him? Could he have been dead long ago?"
"Pah! What nonsense are you spouting?"
Han Qiao's face lit up with joy. He picked up a cup of wine and drank it down, saying, "The Demon Lord has not perished. We have already sensed his presence through the secret techniques of the Demon Clan. It seems to be within the territory of the Eastern Region."
"Oh? Congratulations!"
Yan Xiao poured himself a glass of wine and said, "Then you'd better hurry. If those people from the Immortal Alliance find out, your Demon Lord might really be reduced to ashes."
Han Qiao: "Tsk, can you please stop being so venomous with your mouth?"
Suddenly, Yan Xiao caught a glimpse of a white figure out of the corner of his eye, and a smile appeared on his lips. "Would you like a drink too?"
"No need." The woman in white glanced at them and asked, "What about the matter I asked you to investigate? Any progress?"
"I checked."
"However, Bai Qingyi is surprisingly clean. She has not been involved with any evil cultivators in the Southern Region, and it seems that she has never practiced any soul-refining techniques. At least within the Southern Region, no evidence has been found so far."
Han Qiao saw that she was looking at him, so he shrugged and said, "We've also investigated the Demon Abyss, and the demons don't know her at all... so we can't help you."
The woman in white nodded, her eyes lowered, and after a moment asked, "What about the fragments of the magical artifact in the picture?"
"No one has ever seen it either." Yan Xiao took a sip of wine and looked at her curiously, asking, "What exactly is that fragment?"
Han Qiao: "I'm quite curious too. Could it be some kind of priceless treasure?"
The woman in white did not answer their questions. Instead, she picked up a cup of wine and slowly poured it out in front of her, as if she were offering a sacrifice to the dead.
"It is the beginning of all sins and the cause of all evil."
Just as the two were getting confused, the woman in white put down her wine glass and said, "If you find it, be careful. Don't blame me for not warning you."
After saying that, she turned and left, leaving the two of them staring at each other in bewilderment.
Han Qiao stood up, straightened his cloak, and said, "Then I'm leaving too."
Yan Xiao downed a glass of wine, waved his hand at him, and said, "Get lost."
As night fell, the streets of the market remained brightly lit, and the vendors' shouts and calls showed no sign of abating.
"There's no curfew here." Ye Luo looked around. The streets were bustling with people, and there were quite a few new night market stalls.
They spent the entire day shopping with Yu Qianling, practically visiting every shop in the capital, which nearly exhausted the three of them.
Cen Feng: "Third Senior Sister, I think it's about time. We need to hurry to the Immortal Pavilion to listen to the music."
"Oh, okay, I'd also like to visit the night market."
Upon hearing this, Cen Feng's face fell, and he hurriedly said, "No, no, no, let's go sightseeing another time."
"Okay! Let's go."
Seeing that she had no intention of continuing, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Luo's eyelids drooped almost together as she said, "From now on... I'd rather die than go shopping with Third Senior Sister again..."
Feng Yue nodded vigorously as if in agreement. He felt he had reached his limit, so he said, "I... I'll go back to the inn first..."
Before Yu Qianling and the other two could react, he disappeared in a flash.
Yu Qianling watched his retreating figure in black and sighed, "He was saying he'd have a few ladies cure his ailment, but now all the good people have run away..."
Cen Feng: "Then let's go, the three of us. Let's not keep Sister Furong and the others waiting."
"Alright, never mind him." Yu Qianling was excitedly walking towards the Immortal Pavilion when Yu Xuan, who was not far away, strode over. "Qianling, where did you go?"
"Hey, what's wrong with Yu Xuan?"
A look of grievance flashed across Yu Xuan's face as she whispered, "I... I originally wanted to discuss some things with you, but I waited for you at the inn all day and you didn't come back... I thought something had happened to you."
"Oh? I see." Yu Qianling said apologetically, "Sorry, I went to the market with my junior brothers..."
"It's alright, I'm glad you're alright."
With her arms crossed, Ye Luo looked at Yu Xuan's affectionate expression and urged, "Third Senior Sister, let's go in."
Cen Feng: "Yeah, let's go!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xuan looked up at the plaque above her head, then glanced around at the brothel in front of her, and was speechless with astonishment. "You want to go to a brothel!"
"Yeah, are you coming too?"
Yu Xuan was stunned for a moment, then said urgently, "No... how can a young lady like you come to a place like this?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Qianling looked puzzled and said, "Hey, why not? When I went out to train before, I even slept in the Lotus Flower Pavilion."
Yuxuan: "..."
"Third Senior Sister, let's go quickly, I can't wait to hear the music!"
Ye Luo pushed Yu Qianling toward the door and chuckled at Yu Xuan, saying, "Young Master Yu Xuan, I suppose you're not interested in this kind of brothel, so please leave!"
"Who says I'm not interested? I—I want to go too!"
Yu Xuan clenched her fists, looking at Yu Qianling with hopeful eyes, "Can I go?"
"Of course you can! What are you standing there for? Let's go!" Yu Qianling looked delighted and pulled Yu Xuan into the building, leaving Ye Luo speechless.
Ye was on the verge of collapse. "Third Senior Sister, I'm so impressed, I have to admit it..."
He shook his head and followed them inside. Looking at the magnificent building, which had a somewhat decadent feel to it, he remarked, "The decor looks pretty good."
"Oh, Your Highness, you've finally arrived!" Furong greeted them with a smile. "The private rooms are all prepared. Please follow me."
Yu Qianling's arrival attracted a lot of attention, and people began to scrutinize her group, wondering why the woman would come here.
However, after discussing it for a while, the only possibility that came to mind was that everyone's faces showed expressions of watching a show.
Yu Qianling had been to brothels before, and the madam had cried and blocked her at the door, refusing to let her in no matter what. So she understood their thoughts to some extent, and laughed, "Brothers, keep having fun. I'm not here to catch you cheating!"
"..."
Seeing her familiar and experienced manner, Yu Xuan realized that, as she had said, this was indeed not her first time visiting a brothel...
He suddenly felt a tightness in his chest. Given her bold and unrestrained nature... who knows, he might come to catch her cheating in the future?
