Chen Zhou looked in the direction of the sound and saw a plump woman who immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Moreover, the other woman this woman called out to was even more beautiful, with a graceful figure and a beauty that surpassed even the most beautiful flowers.
"Miao Suhuai, where have you been? I've been looking for you everywhere! Do you know that the Murong family has sent people to look for you? Young Master Murong has been waiting for you for a long time!" the woman said angrily.
At the same time, her grandfather greatly envied Miao Suhuai. Not long after arriving in Ganlinfang, she was noticed by Murong Fu, the third young master of the Murong family. Therefore, she was always treated as a superior in Ganlinfang, and was always served good food and drink. Moreover, she only needed to study music, chess, calligraphy and painting every day, and did not have to work so hard like them.
Every day, I have to entertain guests and learn various skills in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting to enrich my knowledge so that I can better attract guests.
Murong has been resurrected for over twenty years and has seen countless women, but Miao Suhuai is the one who has captured his heart the most.
Therefore, he planned to make an exception and take Miao Suhuai as his concubine.
According to the rules of the Southern Kingdom, residents of the common people are not qualified to marry into the Southern Kingdom. However, with Murong Fu's methods, changing a person's appearance is a piece of cake.
The most important thing for him now is to marry this woman.
Chen Zhou observed the situation calmly, without rushing forward to explain his purpose to Miao Suhuai, as that would be too rash.
If you do this, you might be misunderstood by others as being lustful and making things up.
Chen Zhou made a decision: after rescuing Miao Suhuai this time, he would stay away from such things. After all, he was just a lazy bum, and a pitiful lazy bum still had to complete the sect's mission. Chen Zhou planned to coast along the way and go wherever he could.
After all, this is the attitude a lazy bum should have...
"Ding! Host has not cultivated for one minute. Qi and Blood Value +4! Root Bone Value +4! True Qi Value +4!"
"Ding! Host has not cultivated for five minutes. Qi and Blood Value +20! Root Bone Value +20! True Qi Value +20!"
......
Miao Suhuai did not answer the woman's angry question, but nodded meekly and followed her away.
It left behind a group of big men with their eyes wide open.
Many of them were meeting Miao Suhuai for the first time.
"I never expected there to be such a beautiful woman in Ganlinfang."
"Yes, yes, I've never seen this before..."
"I really want to..."
The two people below licked their lips.
"Shut up! That's the woman the third young master of the Murong family has his eye on! Do you two have a death wish?" One of them shattered their illusions.
"Would the Murong family even be interested in a woman from a brothel?"
One person said in confusion, "Ganlinfang is a brothel. I wonder how dirty the women here are. The Murong family is a famous family in the South. How could they possibly be interested in the women of Ganlinfang?"
"That woman isn't from the brothel; it's said she was kidnapped from the streets..."
"What?! From Mindao? Then..."
"Shh! Shut up! If these words get back to the Murong family, we'll all be dead!"
Chen Zhou had exceptional hearing, and from these conversations, he could roughly guess what the Southern Kingdom was like at present.
The Southern Kingdom is currently a country with a strict hierarchical system. For example, the residents of the Mindao are the lowest level of people in the Southern Kingdom. They are not worthy of living in the Southern Kingdom's imperial city and are even exploited by the Southern Kingdom's guards.
Furthermore, there is the hierarchical system within the Southern Kingdom's imperial city. For example, the Murong family is a renowned and powerful family in the Southern Kingdom, and ordinary residents within the imperial city cannot afford to offend them.
Chen Zhou was deeply aware of the corruption in this country.
But what does this have to do with me?
He was just a nobody, and these national affairs had nothing to do with him. Chen Zhou only wanted to finish this mission as soon as possible and return to his sect to retire.
Chen Zhou followed closely behind the woman and Miao Suhuai. Chen Zhou's strength was the highest here, and no one could detect that he had silently caught up with the two of them.
Ganlinfang consists of four large courtyards, one of which contains a huge locust tree.
The two crossed the courtyard and entered a classic wooden house in the inner room.
The wooden houses here are much more elegant than the ones Chen Zhou lived in at the Sword Cloud Sect. After the houses are built, they are all painted with a layer of brown oil, making them look elegant and noble.
Two armored figures stood in front of the wooden house. The armor they wore was different from the one Chen Zhou had seen at the encampment; it was purple. Chen Zhou believed that this must be the private army of the Murong family.
Both of them had fluctuations in their aura, clearly indicating that they had both entered the Qi Refining stage.
"They're both cultivators..."
Chen Zhou murmured, “None of the guards at the important southern gate are cultivators, except for Kong Liming. The fact that two of them have appeared here at once is enough to show the power of the Murong family and how much they value this third young master.”
Two cultivators were dispatched to protect the safety of the third young master.
What is not a cause for concern is that these two cultivators are likely only at the stage of refining essence into qi.
If Chen Zhou could use his true energy, he could directly use a minor confinement array to deal with the two of them.
Chen Zhou carefully climbed to the rooftop, concealing his presence as he moved to the inner wooden room.
Chen Zhou quietly moved a roof tile away so he could clearly see what was going on inside.
Inside the wooden house were three people. In the middle seat sat a thin-looking person wearing a purple robe and a jade pendant hanging from his waist. The jade pendant faintly showed signs of true energy flowing through it, so it should be a protective jade pendant.
