"Senior Brother Leng..."
The faint sound was uttered, and the egret had already fainted.
Leng Lingfeng, covered in injuries, gasped in pain. If he found out who that person was, he would make him pay.
Yes, he didn't admit that he was less skilled than others, and only thought that he was ambushed and beaten up.
Knowing that the egret was still waiting for him, he quickened his pace.
Xiao Li sat upstairs watching all this, and took another piece of pastry to eat. This circus is really good.
The egret disappeared and could not be found no matter how hard he searched. Leng Lingfeng went mad, searching for him everywhere every day.
When his junior brothers and sisters saw him like this, they finally believed the rumors: their senior brother had indeed fallen in love with that maid, and thus had let down their junior sister Xiaoli.
Leng Lingfeng's prestige has declined once again, and some people are no longer listening to his orders.
Xiao Li knew Bai Lu's whereabouts; she too had been sold into Wangchunlou.
Xiao Li visited her a few times, but she was indeed quite capable and lived a much better life than the original owner.
She produced a few poems, which made Chunniang look at her differently. Not only did Chunniang give her the best room, but she also promoted her and let her choose her first patron.
"Bai Lu, your idea is brilliant! Our Wangchunlou business has improved a lot lately. I'll give you credit for this, and you'll definitely get your share of the benefits in the future."
The egret smiled charmingly; this is a famous line written by a great poet that has been passed down through the ages. How could it not be famous?
"Mom, you really need to expand your network so you can get a good price."
Chunniang nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, Mom will definitely make you a star, and I won't forget you."
Chunniang walked out of the room with a smile, and the old nanny behind her reminded her.
"Master, is this little vixen perhaps still thinking of asking for help?"
Chunniang scoffed, "She thinks she can get out just because she has a big enough name. Dream on. Once she's inside Wangchun Tower, she'll only be able to leave sideways."
The egret looked at the bright moon outside the window and silently cheered itself up.
"Leng Lingfeng, if you had known I was here, you would have come to save me, wouldn't you?"
?
"Have you heard? Wangchun Tower is auctioning off the virginity of young female prostitutes on the first day of next month."
"I've heard about it before. This top courtesan is new, and she wrote the famous poem 'Spring River Flower Moon Night'."
"Wow, she's quite a talented woman. We should go and see her."
...
As Leng Lingfeng listened to his junior disciples' discussion, a thought struck him: Could it be her?
He decided to go and see for himself; he couldn't let any opportunity slip by.
Xiao Li, disguised as a man, followed Leng Lingfeng into Wangchun Tower.
This was her first time visiting a brothel, and she found it quite novel.
"Ah Li, don't look around. Stay with me and don't get lost."
Xiao Li secretly followed, but Leng Lingfeng couldn't take her back, so he had no choice but to keep a close eye on her.
Xiao Li nodded, "Yes, I will definitely follow you."
Several of his younger disciples also came along, and the group sat on the second floor, very close to the stage.
"The view is good here; we're all thanks to our senior brother."
"Yeah, who's this junior brother? He looks unfamiliar."
Xiao Li smiled and said, "I'm new here, new here."
Soon, a piece of music started playing, and Xiao Li got goosebumps all over.
Another masterpiece has been ruined beyond recognition.
The egret, wearing a transparent veil, posed alluringly as flower petals fell from the sky, drawing boos from the VIP booths.
A moment later, the egret began to dance, its avant-garde clothing and daring poses leaving even the well-traveled Xiaoli speechless.
Leng Lingfeng was excited ever since the egret appeared.
It's her, it really is her!
He was about to stand up to find Bailu when Xiaoli pointed a finger at him, and he couldn't move.
Leng Lingfeng was shocked. He had actually been tricked. Who was so capable as to strike his pressure points without him even noticing?
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead as his internal energy relentlessly assaulted his acupoints. Unfortunately, Xiao Li was using spiritual energy, and even if he tried for a hundred years, he might not be able to break through them.
"Oh dear! Why is Senior Brother sweating so much?"
The younger disciples around them all laughed.
"Is Senior Brother getting too excited?"
"Definitely, the top-tier guy is too exciting."
"Oh dear! Senior Brother can't move, has he had a stroke?"
Xiao Li shouted loudly again, attracting the attention of everyone around her.
"This is the young prodigy Leng Lingfeng? No way!"
"It's all show and no substance..."
"I never would have guessed that Leng Lingfeng was this kind of person."
Leng Lingfeng is now famous.
Xiao Li and her junior disciple quickly carried Leng Lingfeng out of Wangchun Tower and took him to the clinic.
Bai Lu also saw this side. She was disappointed. She had just seen Leng Lingfeng and thought he would save her.
But he sat there motionless, just staring at her with his eyes. Now those people left in a hurry, without even mentioning that they would redeem her.
Chunniang, standing beside her, was grinning from ear to ear.
"Three thousand taels..."
"Five thousand taels..."
In the end, a fat, big-eared businessman named Wu Hai won the bid. Compared to the second and third place winners, he was actually the one with the most decent appearance.
Although Bailu had some choice, she had no fighting skills, and under Chunniang's subtle coercion, she had no choice but to agree.
A spring breeze blew overnight, leaving only two pairs of flickering candles.
Bai Lu was still waiting for Leng Lingfeng to rescue her, but she didn't expect Wu Hai to redeem her with a large sum of money and take her home as a concubine.
Bai Lu was powerless to resist. In this chaotic world, she was a weak woman and had no right to say no.
?
Xiao Li pretended not to see Leng Lingfeng's expression and kept urging the junior disciples to hurry up and take the person to the clinic.
The doctor examined her several times but found nothing wrong.
"Why can't it be moved? Please forgive my lack of knowledge and ability; I cannot diagnose his illness."
After several clinics failed to treat him, Xiao Li had no choice but to have Leng Lingfeng carried back to the mountain.
Leng Lingfeng was extremely anxious. Bai Lu was right there, but he couldn't save her. Now he had also been ambushed and couldn't say anything.
When they returned to the mountain, everyone knew that the eldest brother had gone to see a performance at a brothel and suffered a stroke due to the shock.
When Yan Yunting heard about it, he was extremely disappointed. How could his eldest disciple have become like this?
Xiao Li secretly came to Leng Lingfeng's bedside and released his pressure points. A day later, Leng Lingfeng regained consciousness and was able to move again.
But he was too ashamed to stay on the mountain any longer; the looks from his fellow students filled him with shame.
Although he wasn't the kind of person they described, that look in his eyes was really unpleasant.
Leng Lingfeng decided to rescue Bai Lu first, then travel around and return after a few years when things have calmed down.
"Master, your unfilial disciple is unable to stay by your side."
Yan Yunting readily agreed. Although his eldest disciple had disappointed him, it would be good for him to go out and make his way in the world.
