170: Chapter 170: It's a fool not to take advantage of a good deal.

Wan Hua Pavilion, top floor.

This was a spacious, elegant room with windows on all four sides, where moonlight poured in like water.

The interior was elegantly furnished, with a red sandalwood round table and several chairs.

A pot of warmed wine and several plates of exquisite spiritual fruits.

It was obvious this had been specially decorated, looking refined yet with a hint of flirtatiousness.

Xiao Ran pushed the door open and entered; the three courtesans were already seated.

Master Su sat by the window, the moonlight spilling over her white dress, making her look even more cold and ethereal.

Master Liu leaned back in her chair, playing with a game piece in her hand, her eyes filled with a smile.

Master Hua sat at the table pouring wine, her purple sleeves lightly brushing across the tabletop.

"Young Master Li is here."

"Please, have a seat."

Master Hua looked up, a flash of joy appearing in her purple eyes.

The three had been waiting here for a long time, their minds already filled with countless thoughts.

It couldn't be helped; Xiao Ran's handsome face, combined with his extraordinary knowledge and his faintly discernible Soul Transformation cultivation... every aspect was enough to pique a woman's curiosity.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran wasn't polite and sat down directly across from the three.

In any case, he came this time specifically to toy with these three.

Seeing Xiao Ran take his seat, Master Hua hurriedly pushed a cup of wine in front of him.

The wine was amber-colored, emitting a faint fragrance.

"This is Wan Hua Pavilion's hundred-year-old Drunken Immortal Brew. Young Master Li, please have a taste."

Xiao Ran picked up the wine cup and took a sip.

The liquid entered his throat, crisp and mellow.

A wave of gentle Spiritual Qi circulated through his body.

"Good wine."

He set down the cup and praised it without concealment.

"Good wine should be drunk more. Come, I toast you a cup, Young Master."

Master Hua had a smile on her lips, and as she spoke, she raised a cup and drained it in one go.

"Straightforward!"

Xiao Ran immediately gave a thumbs up.

As expected of people from the Jianghu, not at all pretentious.

So, Xiao Ran accompanied her with another cup.

Immediately following, the other two masters stepped forward.

Three women are enough for a drama.

Under the siege of the three, Xiao Ran had drunk no less than ten cups of wine after only a moment.

Wine is the key to opening the conversation.

After having their fill of wine and food.

Master Su felt the timing was right and immediately asked the question in her heart.

"Young Master Li, I would like to ask if the High Mountains and Flowing Water you performed was composed by you?"

Xiao Ran leaned back against the chair, looking like he was floating on air.

But this was all a surface phenomenon.

Before his Transmigration, Xiao Ran was a veteran of business KTVs; he naturally knew how to deal with women.

Especially dealing with women who had an objective.

So even though he had drunk wine, his mind was currently clear enough to complete a set of college entrance exam papers.

"That's right."

Xiao Ran nodded and took credit for it.

Anyway, this world didn't have Boya and Ziqi, so he might as well just keep taking the credit.

In the entire cultivation world, only Xiao Ran and Li Changsheng knew the truth.

Li Changsheng would definitely not expose him, so rounding it off, it was as good as his own creation.

Talent is a fatal Magic Treasure for attracting women.

Sure enough, the three were filled with shock upon hearing this.

"The Concept of that piece cannot be written without decades of immersion."

"I didn't expect the Young Master's attainments in this Dao to be so deep!"

A flash of excitement from finding a kindred spirit appeared in Master Su's eyes.

Xiao Ran didn't explain, only picked up his wine cup and took another sip.

At this time, he couldn't over-praise himself, or it would seem inferior.

Maintaining mystery was the way to go.

In short, Xiao Ran's main strategy was to let them fill in the blanks themselves.

The more Xiao Ran acted like this, the more respectful their attitudes became.

Especially Master Su, whose pair of waves kept pressing toward Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran naturally accepted it all.

Only a bastard doesn't take advantage.

Seeing this, Master Hua took advantage of the momentum to continue asking.

"How did Young Master Li realize the logic behind solving the Go game?"

Xiao Ran shook his head slightly upon hearing this.

Everything has its priorities; some things should be admitted, and some should not.

So Xiao Ran didn't try to force a flex here, because he was afraid Master Hua would drag him into playing a game.

That would expose him.

"Master Hua is mistaken; my solving of your game was merely a stroke of luck."

"An old friend named Wu Qingyuan once taught me a few moves in his spare time, which included the method to solve that game of yours."

Master Hua was stunned.

"Wu Qingyuan? I've never heard of him."

Xiao Ran shook his head slightly.

"He is a very formidable person who took Go to another Realm, but unfortunately, he has long since lived in seclusion."

This sentence was the time to show off his connections.

Master Hua was thoughtful and tactfully did not pursue the matter further.

Great Master Su asked again.

"Then what about Young Master Li's Sword Intent? The Sword Intent within those four words is something this little girl has never seen before."

Xiao Ran looked at her.

"I obtained that from a ruin."

"What ruin?"

"The Ancient Battlefield."

The three looked at each other.

"The Ancient Battlefield?"

"Isn't that a place only Disciples of the great Sects in the Northern Border can go?"

Almost all known Ancient Battlefields in the entire Northern Border have been divided up by the great Sects.

Every year, the entry list for the Secret Realm is strictly controlled by them; even if there are Loose Cultivators, they are people from the Loose Cultivators Alliance.

Ordinary Loose Cultivators aren't even qualified.

So this one sentence also indirectly showed that Young Master Li's identity was indeed extraordinary.

A man with an extraordinary identity—this completely captured their interest.

Master Hua, riding the influence of the wine, accidentally fell into Xiao Ran's arms.

"Ah~"

She let out a shy cry but did not get up.

Xiao Ran was naturally happy with this.

"Young Master Li, where exactly are you from?"

Master Hua lay in Xiao Ran's arms, her face showing a hint of desire.

This, Xiao Ran naturally couldn't say.

He had already taken a stage name; if he exposed his identity so easily, how could he maintain the sense of mystery?

"One's origin isn't important. What's important is that tonight's moon is quite nice."

A sense of story flashed in Xiao Ran's eyes as he raised a cup of wine and drank to the full moon outside the window.

The three courtesans were stunned at the same time.

They suddenly felt that the person before them seemed very extraordinary!

"The Young Master speaks in a unique way."

"The Young Master not only understands Music and the Way of Go but also Sword Intent. This little girl is curious, is there anything the Young Master doesn't understand?"

The three women knew they couldn't get information out of Xiao Ran this way.

So they simply started trying different ways to get Xiao Ran to drink more.

Xiao Ran tilted his head back, drank a cup, and thought for a moment.

"Giving birth—I really don't understand that."

The three courtesans immediately burst into laughter.

Master Su covered her mouth and chuckled: "The Young Master really knows how to joke."

Master Liu laughed so hard she leaned back and forth: "The Young Master's tongue is truly flexible."

Master Hua also laughed, her purple eyes curving into crescents.

"The Young Master also knows how to make people happy."
