468: Not accepting guests?

Xu Sanyan was surprised. So many rules for visiting a brothel?

Not only do they recognize money, but they also recognize people?

"Brother, have you ever been there?"

The young man showed a hint of pride, "Hehe, I was fortunate enough to go once with Second Young Master Yuan. That was truly..."

"Tsk tsk."

The young man's expression was reminiscent, gradually becoming lewd.

This undoubtedly further aroused Xu Sanyan's curiosity. Is it really that fun?

Then he definitely had to experience it. This was one of his few hobbies.

"When does that place open?"

"Soon, soon. It opens when it gets dark."

Xu Sanyan simply sat by the water stage to wait, chatting with the young man. He learned that his name was Xia Zhi, the illegitimate son of the Xia family, a prominent family in the capital. Because he was not favored, he often came here to vent his grievances.

Just then, a group of people approached from a distance. The leader was a young man with a pale complexion, dressed in a purple robe, with a pair of Dragon and Phoenix mandarin duck jades tied to his waist, and holding a half-open landscape painting fan. From his posture, the seven or eight people behind him were all subordinate to him, indicating his extraordinary status.

Everyone on the lakeside path moved aside, not daring to block the way.

Seeing the approaching person, Xia Zhi's face lit up with joy. He pulled Xu Sanyan and said, "Second Young Master Yuan is here! Quickly, follow me and say some good words. If you make him happy, you'll surely get some benefits."

Xu Sanyan tilted his head and asked curiously, "Who is Second Young Master Yuan?"

Xia Zhi was surprised, "Can't you guess from that surname?"

Yuan...

Xu Sanyan shook his head; he really had no impression.

"The Prime Minister's Second Young Master!"

Oh~

Xu Sanyan understood. No wonder he hadn't heard of him; he was just a mere Prime Minister.

Although a Prime Minister's power is great, it belongs to a civil position, and his cultivation might not be very high, possibly only at the Soul Refinement Realm or early stage of the Dao Integration. In this cultivation world where everything is based on strength, power doesn't seem particularly important.

Here, Xia Zhi pulled him forward, but he didn't dare to stand in front of Second Young Master Yuan. He could only accompany him with a smiling face, bowing and following by his side,

"This humble one greets Second Young Master. Your Aura is becoming more extraordinary. Just now, from a distance, this humble one felt a heroic Aura blowing towards me. When I looked back, it was indeed Second Young Master who had arrived."

Xu Sanyan twitched the corner of his mouth. Was this flattery so direct?

"Hahahaha, good, this lord is happy to hear it, reward!"

Second Young Master Yuan didn't even turn his head, laughing loudly and waving his hand. A person behind him casually handed Xia Zhi a dozen Spirit Stones. Xia Zhi bowed repeatedly, his tail wagging, and watched the group walk away.

Xu Sanyan didn't say a word, so he naturally didn't get any reward money. Xia Zhi glanced back at him, thought for a moment, and then took out a few Spirit Stones to hand to him, "Here, everyone gets a share."

Xu Sanyan raised an eyebrow. This kid was quite considerate. Although he didn't care for these few Spirit Stones, he still accepted them. "Thank you, Brother Xia."

Xia Zhi waved his hand, "Hey, Second Young Master Yuan is a fool with too much money. You can get Spirit Stones for free just by saying a few good words. Why not do it?"

As he spoke, he jiggled the remaining Spirit Stones in his hand, "Today, I'll take you to see the world. It won't be in vain for you to call me Brother Xia."

Most of the flower boats on the lake had already started receiving guests. Some girls were dancing gracefully on the sampans to attract customers. If someone liked a girl, they could just pick her directly. This was much more sophisticated than the traditional "Master, come and play" method of attracting customers.

Hundreds of small sails were docked by the shore, responsible for welcoming and sending off guests. Xia Zhi took Xu Sanyan aboard one, casually pulled out a few pieces of broken silver and threw them to the boatman, pointing to a flower boat closer to the edge, "To Liuli Pavilion."

"Alright!" The boatman pushed off with his pole.

Xu Sanyan, however, was not too satisfied. Since he had come all this way, if he was going to play, he would play the best. How could common harlots be worthy of his status?

So he said, "No, go to the one in the middle, the one Second Young Master Yuan just went to."

"Whoa~"

Xia Zhi was startled, his tone suddenly rising, "Are you crazy? I can't afford to treat you there."

Xu Sanyan patted his shoulder, "It's fine, I'll treat you."

Only then did Xia Zhi re-examine him, hesitating, "Just having money isn't enough..."

Xu Sanyan smiled, then pulled out a token. Engraved on it was a misty immortal mountain, with three golden characters gilded below,

"Shangyin Mountain"

Xu Sanyan still had many tokens in his Storage Pouch, not only from Shangyin Mountain, but from all of the Central Continent Five Great Sects.

Xia Zhi was greatly shocked. He never expected that a random person he met on the road was actually a Shangyin Mountain Disciple.

"Brother Xu is actually a Shangyin Mountain Disciple. This little brother was truly blind. If there was any offense, please forgive this Brother Xu."

Xu Sanyan waved his hand, "You and I are like brothers at first sight. Why say such things? I just don't know if this status is enough?"

"Enough, more than enough! With this status, let alone a mere flower boat, you can even go to the Prime Minister's residence."

Xia Zhi instructed the boatman, "To Fengming Pavilion!"

"Got it!"

"Brother Xu is actually a Shangyin Mountain Disciple. No wonder when I first saw him, I felt that Brother Xu was by no means a Mortal. Just standing there, he exuded an Aura."

Xia Zhi felt a surge of excitement in his heart. He never thought he would actually have the chance to go to Fengming Pavilion!

Previously, when he said he had gone with Second Young Master Yuan, it was just bragging. What kind of status did Second Young Master Yuan have? How could he take him along to play? But today, he was truly going!

Xu Sanyan smiled and didn't reply, his gaze fixed on the flower boat. In truth, he didn't have much money in his pocket; what he had stolen earlier was mostly spent. The main reason was that he didn't need to spend money on anything he did, so he had no interest in money.

"Young Masters, we have arrived."

The boatman steadied the boat. With just a step, they could board the flower boat's sampan, where several girls were already waiting.

Xu Sanyan's gaze followed the girls' bare feet upwards. Their toenails were painted with various colors of nail polish, looking playful and cute.

He then scanned their slender calves, fair thighs, and then a few scraps of cloth covered their private parts, followed by their slender waists that could be grasped with one hand.

Xu Sanyan nodded secretly. They were indeed beautiful, and they also had cultivation, though not high, but it was enough. Bodies that had practiced martial arts could strike more poses.

"Young Masters, please come in."

The women welcomed them aboard. Stepping into the cabin, Xu Sanyan realized there was a world of its own inside. Dozens of young girls danced in the cabin, the music melodious and elegant. Second Young Master Yuan and others, who had arrived earlier, were enthusiastically weaving among the women, looking utterly debauched.

All the women at the banquet concealed their faces with veils. This sense of mystery was even more stimulating, making one want to tear off the veil and behold their beauty.

"Gulp~"

Xia Zhi stared blankly at the women, unconsciously swallowing his saliva, looking like someone who had never seen the world.

"Young Masters, you look quite unfamiliar. Is this your first time here?"

A questioning voice came from beside him. Xu Sanyan turned his head to see a graceful woman smiling at him. The woman exuded a natural affinity that made it difficult to feel any ill will towards her.

Xu Sanyan scrutinized her from head to toe, feeling very satisfied. "You're the one."

"Hehehe~"

The woman covered her mouth and chuckled softly, "Young Master, I'm afraid you've misunderstood. I never receive guests."

Xu Sanyan's eye slanted, revealing a smile, "That's because I wasn't here. Now that I'm here, you will receive guests."
