30: Chapter 30: Even the name of the Demon Suppression Division isn't very useful.

Lin Ming glanced at the two people beside him and ultimately took the first step into the Moonlit Pavilion himself.

"Three guests."

As soon as the three entered the Moonlit Pavilion, a madam greeted them with a smile on her Face.

Her gaze swept over the three of them one by one, but she froze for a moment when she saw Su Lianxue.

She didn't freeze because Su Lianxue was a woman; after all, she had been in this business for thirty or forty years and had seen all kinds of guests.

Some guests brought girls from outside to play with the girls in the brothel.

Other guests were women themselves but also liked girls.

The reason she froze was that Su Lianxue was too beautiful—the most beautiful girl she had ever seen, leaving her momentarily unable to find the words to describe her.

If this girl belonged to their Moonlit Pavilion, she would undoubtedly be the oiran, a one-of-a-kind top beauty.

"Demon Suppression Division, handling a case."

Lin Ming didn't want to waste words and directly took out his Demon Suppression Division token; within the Great Yan Dynasty, it was more convenient to use his identity as a member of the division.

As soon as the Demon Suppression Division token appeared, many people around were intimidated, and some even slipped out quietly, leaving the Moonlit Pavilion.

"Are the lords of the Demon Suppression Division also coming to my Moonlit Pavilion for pleasure?"

Upon seeing the token, the smile on the madam's Face gradually faded.

She wasn't afraid of the so-called Demon Suppression Division. After all, anyone doing business in the Yan Capital these days had some background, and her background happened to be one that didn't fear the division.

Therefore, she appeared very calm when facing Lin Ming.

However, sometimes one still had to give some Face to the Demon Suppression Division.

"The Moonlit Pavilion is closed starting now. Everyone must leave; not a single person stays."

Lin Ming said.

"Does the Demon Suppression Division want my Moonlit Pavilion to close down?"

The madam's expression changed, and her tone became unfriendly.

This wasn't coming to handle a case; it was clearly an attempt to shut down their Moonlit Pavilion.

Naturally, the madam could not allow such a thing, and the power behind her would not allow it to happen either.

"I've made myself very clear. The Moonlit Pavilion is temporarily closed, with the reopening date to be determined."

Lin Ming had spoken very bluntly.

However, the madam opposite him didn't seem to give much Face to the Demon Suppression Division.

"Is the Demon Suppression Division trying to cause trouble for Prince Ming's Mansion?"

The madam said in a deep voice.

She directly brought up her backing: Prince Ming, Prince Ming, the current King's younger brother, who was also the greatest patron of this brothel.

"I wonder what crime the Moonlit Pavilion has committed that the Demon Suppression Division wants to close it?"

At this moment, a voice came from the third floor.

A Young Man was seen slowly walking down the stairs from the third floor with a girl in each arm. When his gaze fell upon Su Lianxue, his eyes lit up, and he immediately abandoned the women by his side, his pace involuntarily quickening.

A strangely familiar aura wafted toward him, which immediately piqued Lin Ming's interest.

"Young Master Yu."

Seeing Yu Xia, the madam spoke with a smile.

"And who might you be?"

Lin Ming asked.

"I am the son of the current Minister of Revenue."

Yu Xia said with a proud look.

"Young lady, may we get to know each other?"

Yu Xia's gaze fell directly on Su Lianxue.

As for Division Master Meng Ran, he had no interest in an old man.

"Not interested."

Su Lianxue glanced at Yu Xia indifferently and said.

However, this only further stimulated Yu Xia's feelings, making him desperately want to pull Su Lianxue into his arms and cherish her.

"The son of the Minister of Revenue? So, does your father know you're spending his money here at a brothel?"

Lin Ming smiled slightly and said.

Another fellow attracted by his Junior Sister; there was no helping it, given how beautiful she was.

"That is not something you need to worry about."

Yu Xia looked at Lin Ming and said coldly.

In his eyes, Lin Ming was at most a squad leader level figure in the Demon Suppression Division, someone he didn't need to pay much attention to.

This was also why he stepped forward; perhaps he could gain some favor from His Highness Prince Ming.

Furthermore, whether his father knew he visited brothels was a private family matter, and it wasn't an outsider's place to remind him.

"Why is the Demon Suppression Division closing the Moonlit Pavilion? If you don't give a reasonable answer, then you can leave."

Yu Xia said coldly.

He hadn't heard of any important matters occurring in the imperial court.

And even if the Moonlit Pavilion really had to be closed, there would have to be an official decree, and someone influential from the Demon Suppression Division would have to come.

A mere squad leader level figure didn't interest him in the slightest.

He had already begun thinking about how to get his hands on Su Lianxue; it would be a pity if such a beauty didn't enter his chamber.

He had to take Su Lianxue for himself before those other fellows found out.

"The son of the Minister of Revenue dares to speak to the Demon Suppression Division like this? It seems the division's name isn't very useful."

Lin Ming played with the token in his hand and said with a smile.

Lin Ming's words were naturally directed at Division Master Meng Ran beside him; this identity in the Demon Suppression Division wasn't very useful if anyone felt they could just step all over them.

The people around heard Lin Ming's words and felt it was somewhat strange, as if this person weren't actually from the Demon Suppression Division.

"How bold of you to impersonate someone from the Demon Suppression Division."

Hearing these words, Yu Xia spoke with a harsh expression.

Now he had caught him; regardless of whether Lin Ming was from the division or not, since he dared to say such things, there was reason to suspect he was an impostor.

If that were the case, he could manipulate the situation.

"Yu Xia, how dare you!"

Someone was seen walking out from behind Lin Ming and the others, shouting at Yu Xia.

"Wei Xiuyuan, this has nothing to do with you. Don't bring trouble upon yourself."

Seeing Wei Xiuyuan, Yu Xia frowned slightly and said.

Wei Xiuyuan ignored Yu Xia and walked straight to Division Master Meng Ran.

"Wei Xiuyuan greets the Division Master."

Wei Xiuyuan said with a look of respect.

There was no mistake; the person before him was definitely the Division Master of the Demon Suppression Division, Division Master Meng Ran.

Although Wei Xiuyuan had only seen Division Master Meng Ran a few times, the appearance of such a powerful expert was firmly etched in his mind.

He hadn't expected this person to actually appear in a brothel.

If he hadn't heard that the Demon Suppression Division was going to close the Moonlit Pavilion, he wouldn't have come in, and he certainly wouldn't have met the Division Master.

"You are Wei Gang's son."

Division Master Meng Ran looked at Wei Xiuyuan and said.

Wei Gang was a general of the Great Yan Dynasty.

"Yes, my father is Wei Gang."

Wei Xiuyuan immediately nodded.

At the same time, he caught a glimpse of Lin Ming out of the corner of his eye and began to wonder about his identity.
