The mere Yuntian Pavilion was not enough to make Qiao Suinian feel threatened. He also wanted to know what the so-called Yuntian Pavilion Master was up to.
"Hehe, this way please!"
Cai You revealed a sinister smile, stood up and led the way for Qiao Suinian, who calmly followed behind him.
Throughout the journey, Cai You remained silent, and Qiao Suinian didn't bother to speak to him either; the atmosphere among the group was like a low-pressure cyclone.
Cai You led Qiao Suinian through a maze of twists and turns into a small alley and pushed open the door of a dilapidated wooden house.
In a place like Kyoto, finding a wooden hut is not an easy task.
The cabin was simply furnished with a broken wooden table and a few bamboo stools. In front of the broken wooden table was a statue of a deity that looked vaguely familiar.
Cai You respectfully bowed to the statue and then lit three incense sticks for it.
As the incense smoke rose, the ground trembled slightly, revealing a passage leading underground.
"Please." Cai You stepped aside slightly to make way for her.
Qiao Suinian strode down, his face expressionless, but his fingertips had already touched the Dragon Spirit Demon Blade.
Upon entering this underground world, a commotion immediately filled the air.
It was like a small black market, with men shouting excitedly and women breathing seductively from time to time, occasionally accompanied by a scream. Qiao Suinian even saw a poor woman being attacked by two men on the street.
Along the way, there were all sorts of vendors, chubby newborn babies, foreigners being disemboweled, and women whose limbs had been cut off and made into cups for airplanes.
Qiao Suinian narrowed his eyes slightly. Rather than calling this a small black market, it would be more accurate to describe it as a black market with even less scruples.
While these items can be purchased on the black market, everyone trades in secret and never makes a public appearance.
There are some things that can be done, but not in public; anyone who has been in the workforce understands this to some extent.
To put it bluntly, this place is a dark and filthy haven.
"The first floor is mainly an exchange, and the second floor is a casino, which is also the largest underground casino in the entire capital! The Pavilion Master is waiting for you on the third floor." Cai You quickened his pace and walked in front of Qiao Suinian, saying with a smile.
When you descend to the second basement level, you are greeted by a strong aroma of incense, along with a chorus of excited cheers and cries of bad luck.
Qiao Suinian sniffed the air. The aromatherapy could keep people excited, and this second floor was no ordinary place either, as it was obvious that a special oxygen supply system had been built.
In places with high oxygen concentrations, people become more energetic and excited, and they don't feel tired no matter how long they gamble.
It seems that there is a reason why Yuntian Pavilion was able to develop. The other party has indeed put a lot of effort into this aspect. Qiao Suinian suddenly became curious about the Yuntian Pavilion Master whom he had never met before.
Soon they arrived at the third basement level. Compared to the smoky atmosphere of the upper two levels, the third basement level was much quieter, consisting of individual rooms.
"Please! The Pavilion Master instructed that you may enter alone." Cai You led Qiao Suinian to a door and then stepped aside.
Qiao Suinian narrowed her eyes, then raised her hand and pushed open the door.
A delicate fragrance wafted over, and behind the door was not a modern room, but rather a room more like an ancient one. On the left, there was an antique-style sandalwood flower stand with many potted plants on it.
A huge screen blocked the way, and Qiao Suinian could only vaguely see a figure behind it.
"The Pavilion Master of Yuntian Pavilion?"
As soon as Qiao Suinian finished speaking, she saw the figure behind the screen slowly get up and walk towards her. The screen was slowly pushed open, revealing a delicate oval face.
"It's you!"
Qiao Suinian was taken aback. He never expected that the Pavilion Master of Yuntian Pavilion was actually an acquaintance of his!
"What? You've forgotten the old one for the new? You've forgotten me so quickly?"
Yang Beini slowly leaned against Qiao Suinian, looking completely harmless, but Qiao Suinian dared not let his guard down for a moment.
"You're actually the head of the Cloud Heaven Pavilion?"
“Yes, am I really just a useless pretty face in your eyes?” Yang Beini laughed.
"Then why did you call me here?" Qiao Sui asked, taking a half step back.
"Of course it's me." Yang Beini looked at Qiao Suinian with affection.
"...If you're itchy, find a rock to rub against." Qiao Suinian showed no mercy. He didn't believe that Yang Beini had specifically asked him to come here for that kind of thing. He knew this woman too well; she was far more complex than she appeared on the surface.
"Sigh...you men are all the same. When you're in bed, you'd pluck the stars and the moon from the sky as gifts, but once you've pulled up your pants, you're colder than an enemy." Yang Beini sighed resentfully.
Qiao Suinian was too lazy to waste any more words with her and turned to leave, but Yang Beini quickly grabbed him.
"Why are you still in such a hurry?" Yang Beini rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "I asked you to come here to discuss cooperation."
"Cooperation? Cooperate on what?" Qiao Suinian asked.
"Of course it's a collaboration between Dingtianque and Yuntiange. You saw what happened outside when you came in. What do you think of Yuntiange's operating model?"
"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, there are many high-ranking officials and nobles in this third floor. They are doing some things that no one knows about. The third floor of Yuntian Pavilion is all about privacy. No matter what you want to do here, I can guarantee that no one will know."
