337: Chapter 337 Here comes another troublemaker?
"Wait, who is the person who requested Lady Lan Qin?"
Young Master Liu asked.
It wouldn't be good if it was someone he couldn't afford to offend.
Although their Liu family had a large business and significant influence in Donghan City, there were still a few people they couldn't afford to cross.
"Young Master Liu, this wouldn't be in accordance with the rules."
Madam Wu said with a calm expression.
"What's all this about rules? Since Young Master Liu has spoken, we should naturally help with this small favor."
A woman wearing heavy makeup walked over and said to Young Master Liu with a Face full of smiles.
"Young Master Liu, that person has a very unfamiliar Face; he's likely not from our Dongchao City."
Madam Lu said.
If he wasn't from Dongchao City, then things would be easy to handle.
He remembered that his family hadn't mentioned any big shots coming to Dongchao City, so the person was likely just a cultivator with a bit of spare cash.
That made things simple.
"Go tell him to give her up. If I'm in a good mood, I might even reward him with someone else to play with."
Young Master Liu said somewhat arrogantly.
However, in Dongchao City, he, Young Master Liu, truly did have the capital to be arrogant.
"The Young Master is truly kind-hearted."
The followers behind Young Master Liu were not stingy with their words of praise as they flattered him.
This brought a look of pure satisfaction to Young Master Liu's Face.
"This does not comply with the rules."
Madam Wu said coldly.
Such behavior did not align with the rules of their Huaqing Pavilion.
"Rules are static, but people are flexible. Young Master Liu is a major client of our Huaqing Pavilion."
Madam Lu, however, held the completely opposite opinion.
"Young Master Liu, please wait a moment. This humble one will handle it for you right away."
Madam Lu then headed directly toward the fifth floor, toward the room where Lin Ming was located.
"Now you're talking."
Young Master Liu looked at Madam Lu with satisfaction.
As for Madam Wu, she was directly ignored by Young Master Liu.
Madam Wu watched all of this with a calm expression.
Inside the room.
Lin Ming was still enjoying the zither music and eating his meal.
Suddenly, the door was opened.
The zither music also came to an abrupt halt at that moment.
Lin Ming stopped his chopsticks and looked toward the door, seeing the heavily made-up Madam Lu open the door and step inside.
"What is it?"
Lin Ming frowned slightly.
He didn't like the feeling of being interrupted midway, especially when he was enjoying himself.
"Honored guest, I'm afraid Lady Lan Qin cannot continue performing for you."
Madam Lu said.
"Are you ill?"
Lin Ming immediately looked at Lan Qin.
Cannot perform for him?
What kind of illness would that be?
But Lan Qin didn't look like she was ill.
"This humble one is perfectly fine."
Lan Qin also had a look of confusion on her Face.
"The Young Master of the Liu family wishes for Lady Lan Qin to serve him instead, so he asks this Young Master to give her up."
Madam Lu said.
Hearing this, Lin Ming was momentarily stunned.
He had encountered someone looking for trouble again.
And in a brothel of all places.
Lin Ming remembered the last time he had encountered something similar was in the capital of the Great Yan Dynasty.
"Is this Liu family very powerful?"
Lin Ming turned his head to look at Lady Lan Qin and asked.
Lin Ming really hadn't looked into the factions within Dongchao City in much detail.
He only knew that the City Lord of Dongchao City was a Disciple of the Canghai Sword Pavilion.
The other was the Wanfu Chamber of Commerce.
Just those two.
However, when he first arrived in Dongchao City and was strolling through the town, he seemed to have heard the name of the Liu family.
"The Liu family is a prominent cultivation clan in Dongchao City, with several Other Shore Realm experts overseeing it."
Lan Qin said.
From her tone, Lin Ming could detect a hint of disgust.
They don't even have a Nirvana Realm cultivator?
Lin Ming had thought this so-called Liu family would at least have a Nirvana expert.
Then again,
on second thought,
Lin Ming realized he was overthinking it.
It was mainly because Lin Ming had encountered quite a lot of Nirvana experts over the past few years.
So much so that it gave him the illusion that Nirvana experts were common.
There weren't actually that many Nirvana Realm experts in the Qingxuan Realm.
According to the current records of Yuanxu Mountain, there were fewer than a hundred Nirvana Realm experts in the entire Qingxuan Realm, and fewer than fifty among the Human Race.
"So, does your Huaqing Pavilion have a rule that allows for the blatant snatching of ladies?"
Lin Ming looked at Madam Lu with a playful smile and said.
"Young Master, I am also doing this for your own good."
Madam Lu said.
"The Liu family is not someone you can afford to offend."
"That Young Master Liu is arrogant and vindictive; it's better if you just leave."
Lan Qin also spoke up.
A flash of worry crossed her expression.
This Young Master Liu was not an easy person to deal with.
Once you offended him, unless you had a background equal to or stronger than the Liu family, the outcome would be very grim.
"What a coincidence, I just happen to want to see the methods of this Young Master Liu."
After hearing this, Lin Ming spoke with an air of interest.
He walked past Madam Lu, stepped out of the room, and went to the railing, looking down from his high vantage point.
He spotted Young Master Liu at a glance.
It wasn't that he knew Young Master Liu, but among the people below, only Young Master Liu gave off an exceptionally arrogant vibe.
This arrogance was displayed without any restraint.
It was as if he was telling everyone present,
"I am just this arrogant, what can you do about it?"
"You must be Young Master Liu."
Lin Ming spoke directly.
Lin Ming's greeting caused Young Master Liu to take notice of him.
"And who are you?"
Young Master Liu looked up at Lin Ming with a somewhat unfriendly tone.
"You want to take Lady Lan Qin from me, yet you don't know who I am?"
Lin Ming said.
"So you're the pretty boy who requested Lady Lan Qin."
Pretty boy?
This was the first time Lin Ming had seen someone call him a pretty boy.
"Give up Lady Lan Qin and go find someone else to play with."
Young Master Liu spoke in an unquestionable tone.
It wasn't a discussion; it was a command.
"And if I refuse?"
Lin Ming said.
The commotion between the two attracted the attention of many people nearby, who began to gather.
Some even ran out with their clothes in disarray, not wanting to miss the excitement.
"Someone else is dissatisfied with Young Master Liu; looks like he's from out of town."
"They're always these newborn calves who aren't afraid of tigers."
One person sighed.
It was a sigh for Lin Ming.
"I remember the last guy who got targeted by Young Master Liu; the grass on his grave is probably three meters high by now."
"I don't know, but it's probably about that."
"I wonder how long this guy can hold out."
"I reckon two or three days is about right."
"I think so too."
The whispers rose and fell; clearly, no one favored Lin Ming.
In their eyes, Lin Ming was just an unfamiliar Face.
As one of the protagonists of this incident, Young Master Liu's Face gradually darkened.
In front of everyone, this person actually refused to give him Face.
Death sentence.
In his heart, Young Master Liu had already handed Lin Ming a death sentence.
Lin Ming, meanwhile, learned about the behavior of the Young Master Liu before him from the discussions of the surrounding people.
He truly was a profligate Young Master.
