84: Listen to music in the brothel and go to Baiyujing
Half an hour later.
Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang rode their Snow Treading Spirit Horse back to Tianqi, encountering Pacification Envoy Baili Changqing halfway.
"Greetings, Pacification Envoy."
Lin Qinghuang bowed.
Baili Changqing saw Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang riding the same horse, with Xie Weilou tightly embracing Lin Qinghuang's waist.
At this moment, her eyes were tightly shut, seemingly still in deep sleep, which made his expression somewhat peculiar.
This kid, he's got something!
He inquired, "This time, I was stopped by a powerful demon race expert and couldn't reach Qiyin City in time. How are things there?"
The demon race expert who stopped him was extremely powerful; this time, he had been negligent.
Lin Qinghuang handed a scroll to Baili Changqing: "Reporting to the Pacification Envoy, Tianyin Hall has been annihilated, and the Lord of Qiyin City, who was involved in the Spirit Bone matter, has been executed! All the details are in this scroll."
"Oh?"
Baili Changqing was somewhat surprised. Tianyin Hall had a Dao Repository Realm expert guarding it. How did Lin Qinghuang resolve it?
He took the scroll and glanced at it.
"Tianyin Old Ancestor, Profound Manifestation Realm..."
Baili Changqing's gaze sharpened.
Lin Qinghuang explained, "Tianyin Old Ancestor is a powerful expert of the Profound Manifestation Realm, so we were naturally not his match. However, this time, a mysterious expert appeared in Tianyin Hall. Its destruction was mainly due to him. But that person wore a mask, so his face was unclear, and his background is unknown."
She naturally would not elaborate on Xie Weilou's involvement.
"Mysterious expert?"
Baili Changqing's face showed a thoughtful expression.
An existence capable of executing a Profound Manifestation Realm expert was naturally extremely formidable.
Lin Qinghuang skillfully changed the subject: "Tianyin Hall has a Profound Manifestation Realm Old Ancestor presiding over it, so its background is extremely complex."
Baili Changqing mused, "Since a Profound Manifestation Realm expert has appeared, we must investigate thoroughly. I will handle this matter. Tianyin Hall has been annihilated, and you all have contributed this time. You can claim your rewards when you return to the Tianquan Division!"
Since it involved a Profound Manifestation Realm expert, he would have to personally intervene. Perhaps he would even need to invite Lord Siming.
"Thank you, Pacification Envoy."
Lin Qinghuang bowed again.
"Mm!"
Baili Changqing nodded lightly and flew away; he still needed to visit Tianyin Hall.
The matter of Spirit Bone transplantation was extremely complex.
If Tianyin Hall still had a powerful backing, it was likely that mysterious forces were still engaged in Spirit Bone transplantation, requiring a thorough investigation.
He hoped to find something at Tianyin Hall!
"..."
Lin Qinghuang gently pulled the reins, and the Snow Treading Spirit Horse flew into the distance.
——
Tianqi City.
At night, the wind and snow continued, obscuring the lights, creating a hazy scene.
Tianquan Division.
Everyone who went to Qiyin City, regardless of whether they contributed, received a reward of one hundred taels of silver each.
This made Zhang Long and the others extremely happy.
A hundred taels of silver was enough to visit a brothel and listen to music several times!
Inside the main hall.
Lin Qinghuang poured a cup of tea and took a sip: "The Spirit Bone transplantation case, the scroll has been handed to the Great Commander, but this matter cannot touch the Sixth Prince!"
Xie Weilou smiled faintly: "Tianyin Hall had Yan Wugou's shadow, but we didn't find any evidence. With just some words, we naturally can't do anything to him."
If there was evidence, then Yan Junlin could come forward and definitely impeach Yan Wugou.
Lin Qinghuang gently held the teacup: "This matter can't touch him, but he has bigger trouble now. News has spread that Yan Wugou colluded with the demon race. The Winter Hunt Assembly saw a massacre by the demon race, and many children of powerful nobles died. Someone will definitely come looking for trouble with Yan Wugou!"
The spread of this news should also be Yan Wuhai's doing.
He was tricked in the disaster relief silver matter. Now that he knew about the mastermind, how could he remain indifferent?
Xie Weilou shook his head: "But don't forget, he was born into an Emperor's family. To truly move him, there's only one way..."
No matter what, Yan Wugou was still a prince. Even if he committed a heinous crime, the Emperor in the palace wouldn't directly eliminate him.
To move him, relying on the Tianquan Division, the civil and military officials, or the Emperor in the palace, are all futile.
Only by relying on oneself, with powerful strength, can he be suppressed and killed!
In a world where the strong prey on the weak, everything depends on powerful strength.
Secular rules are, after all, man-made. As long as you are strong enough, secular rules are like fleeting clouds to you.
Lin Qinghuang said: "You're right, but various restraints can also suppress his development."
"..."
Xie Weilou smiled and nodded.
A single Yan Wugou wouldn't make him too wary.
What he truly feared was the soul body on the opponent's body. Even with a trump card like Demon Hand, he wouldn't underestimate an old monster.
Later, he needed to find his Third Uncle and see what good things his Third Uncle would give him.
Xie Weilou glanced outside and stood up: "It's getting late, I need to go back."
Lin Qinghuang glanced at Xie Weilou: "Just got a hundred taels, are you eager to visit a brothel?"
Xie Weilou's face stiffened: "Nonsense! How could This Young Master be that kind of person? I'm going to listen to music, cultivate my temperament, and refine myself."
"Hehe!"
Lin Qinghuang put down her teacup and picked up a scroll to continue reading.
She felt her cultivation was still a bit low and needed to find a way to break through quickly.
Xie Weilou yawned and walked out of the hall with his hands behind his back.
Outside the hall.
"Young Lord, a few of us are planning to go out for a drink. Would you like to join us?"
Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and the others looked at Xie Weilou with beaming smiles.
Now that they had money, they naturally had to go and enjoy themselves. Isn't that all there is to a man's pleasures?
"Good! Let's go for a few drinks. This Young Master will pay for tonight's expenses."
Xie Weilou said grandly.
"Hehe! Thank you, Young Lord."
Everyone quickly clasped their hands. How could it not be enjoyable to have a Young Lord as a colleague?
"To White Jade Capital!"
Xie Weilou said gallantly.
White Jade Capital is an extremely magnificent brothel in Tianqi City, known as the number one establishment in Tianqi.
On normal days, only high-ranking officials and nobles could enter, spending thousands of gold was commonplace there, and common folk had no right to enter.
"White... White Jade Capital..."
Zhang Long and the others' eyes widened.
They quickly shook their heads: "Young Lord, that place is too expensive. Without a thousand taels of silver, one cannot enter."
White Jade Capital was a place they dared not even dream of.
Xie Weilou said with a confident expression: "Is This Young Master's reputation only worth a thousand taels? Don't worry, I'm not short on money!"
"Young Lord is generous! Then we will follow the Young Lord to see the world!"
Zhang Long and the others were also extremely tempted. They had never been to such a place.
They heard that the women of White Jade Capital were all beautiful as flowers, proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, and all forms of music and performance.
This time, they could go and experience it.
Xie Weilou said: "You all should go change your clothes! With what you're wearing, what if you scare those girls?"
"The Young Lord is right, we'll go change right away."
Zhang Long and the others quickly walked towards another hall.
A moment later.
Everyone changed into casual clothes and left the Tianquan Division...
