159: Send a letter
Hearing Wang Tianchi say this, Wei Xun suddenly understood why his City Lord father had him placed under house arrest.
Wang Tianchi’s current situation clearly showed he was infatuated with Miss Yan’er from the brothel, almost as if he had fallen into Qi Deviation.
Thinking of this, Wei Xun took the fan Wang Tianchi had just given him, opened it, and fanned a gust of wind towards Wang Tianchi, attempting to make him sober up.
But after fanning him, he found it had no effect on Wang Tianchi whatsoever.
“You, the dignified son of the City Lord, wouldn’t give me a fake fan, would you?!”
Wei Xun frowned, holding the fan.
“How could this Young Master give you a fake fan!” Wang Tianchi snorted, “This is an authentic White Crane Clear Wind Fan!”
“Then why did it have no effect on you?” Wei Xun held the fan and fanned Wang Tianchi again.
“I’m not sick, what effect could it have!” Wang Tianchi rolled his eyes at Wei Xun, seemingly a bit speechless.
“Alright then!” Seeing this, Wei Xun could only fold the fan. It seemed Wang Tianchi wasn’t enchanted, but merely genuinely attracted to Miss Yan’er.
“Can you do me a favor?” Wang Tianchi suddenly whispered mysteriously to Wei Xun.
“A favor?” Wei Xun frowned, “What do you want me to help you with now? What treasure are you preparing to exchange?”
“You… you monster, why are you so materialistic!” Wang Tianchi pouted, “Why do you always talk about treasures?!”
“Well, it’s not like I can help you for free!” Wei Xun shrugged.
“Alright!” Wang Tianchi sighed, then touched the ring on his hand and pulled out a flute. Its material looked like bamboo.
“What is this thing?” Wei Xun frowned slightly at the flute. It looked no different from an ordinary flute.
“This flute is called the Spiritual Wind Willow Flute.” Wang Tianchi held the flute to his lips and lightly blew, producing a melodious sound.
Immediately after, Wei Xun saw a potted plant placed by the door actually move with the flute’s music, as if being controlled by it.
“What kind of operation is this?” Wei Xun asked curiously after seeing this scene.
“This flute can control all plants that hear its sound!” Wang Tianchi put down the flute, then took a few deep breaths, seemingly indicating that playing the flute consumed some Spiritual Qi.
“Although it’s quite magical, what’s the use of this thing?” Wei Xun pouted, seemingly uninterested.
“What do you know!” Wang Tianchi rolled his eyes at Wei Xun, then said, “It’s just that my cultivation isn’t high enough. If someone with profound cultivation were to play this flute, as long as they could produce beautiful music, they could control the surrounding plants for their own use!”
“It might not be very useful in a city, but aren’t you a monster?!”
“When you return to the mountains! There are trees and flowers everywhere. Combined with this flute, you can imagine how desperate your opponents will be then!”
After Wang Tianchi’s introduction, Wei Xun became somewhat interested.
He had a ring that could control earth and stone, and now a flute that could control plants.
If used together, they could indeed produce surprising effects during battles in the mountains.
“Alright then!”
Wei Xun nodded, then said, “So, tell me, what kind of favor do you want me to help you with?”
“I want you to help me deliver a letter to Miss Yan’er of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion!” Wang Tianchi said this with a shy expression.
“Uh!” Wei Xun was a bit speechless after hearing this, “That’s it?”
“Yes!” Wang Tianchi nodded, “Just this small favor, and I’ll give you this treasure. You definitely won’t lose out!”
“It’s not impossible!” Wei Xun reached out to Wang Tianchi, “But give me the item first!”
“If you were a human, you’d definitely be a cunning merchant!” Although Wang Tianchi was unwilling, he still placed the flute into Wei Xun’s hand.
After Wei Xun took the flute, he held out his hand again and said, “Give me the letter!”
“I haven’t written it yet!” Wang Tianchi chuckled, then said, “You wait here for a moment, I’ll go in and write it right away!”
After Wang Tianchi finished speaking, he went into his inner room, leaving Wei Xun to sit and wait in the outer room.
Looking at the flute in his hand, Wei Xun curiously put it to his lips and, imitating Wang Tianchi, blew the flute.
However, what Wei Xun didn’t expect was that the sound he produced was incredibly harsh, like industrial noise.
Not only did it not make the potted plant in the room move, it actually scared the plant into shrinking a few sizes.
“This thing is a bit difficult!” Wei Xun himself felt his ears hurt from the piercing sound, “I’ll have to find a Great Master of instruments to learn from sometime.”
After waiting for a long time in the outer room, Wang Tianchi finally came out with an envelope.
“I’ve finished writing it!” Wang Tianchi placed the letter on the table; the outside of the envelope was sealed with red wax.
“This is the letter, right!” Wei Xun picked up the letter. It felt light, seemingly containing only one sheet of paper inside.
“Yes!” Wang Tianchi nodded, “If there’s a reply, you’ll have to help me deliver it back in!”
“Don’t worry! I’ll definitely deliver it for you.” Wei Xun flipped his hand, storing the letter into his ring, then turned to leave.
Seeing Wei Xun about to leave, Wang Tianchi continued to instruct him from behind, “You must not let anyone else know about this matter. You have to secretly deliver the letter to Yan’er, otherwise I’m afraid someone might cause her trouble!”
“You can rest assured!” Wei Xun nodded, then pushed the door open and exited.
After leaving the Young Master’s manor, Wang Tianchi’s servants had already prepared a carriage waiting at the entrance.
After Wei Xun got into the carriage, he was driven all the way out of the Royal City.
“Sir, I can only take you this far!” At the gate of the Royal City, the old servant from the Young Master’s manor smiled apologetically at Wei Xun, “Because of the Young Master, no one from our manor is allowed to leave the Royal City!”
“Alright then!” Wei Xun jumped down from the carriage and strode out of the Royal City.
Once back on the street, Wei Xun prepared to look for the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion that Wang Tianchi had mentioned.
Having been in this world for so long, he had never visited a brothel, and he wanted to experience it.
After asking a few passersby, Wei Xun successfully found the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion located in the west of the city.
Upon arriving at the entrance, Wei Xun was immediately shocked by the scale of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.
Rather than calling it a courtyard, it was more like a brothel street.
The entire street was within the scope of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.
As soon as he walked onto this street, he heard charming female voices calling out to passing male guests from inside.
“Handsome brother, come and play!”
As Wei Xun just walked onto the street, a heavily made-up woman from the roadside approached Wei Xun.
Perhaps because Wei Xun’s nose was too sensitive, he felt a headache coming on from the pungent smell of rouge on the woman.
Before Wei Xun could turn to leave, another equally flamboyant woman quickly walked over from the other side.
“Young Master, would you like this little sister to keep you company?”
