338: Reveal all of Lin Yu's weaknesses!
Qingfeng Tower, Heaven Character Number One Room.
This was the most luxurious private room in the entire building; the floor was covered with soft Spirit Beast fur carpets, the walls were adorned with calligraphy and paintings by famous masters, and a censer in the corner burned Mind-Concentrating Incense worth a thousand gold.
However, the atmosphere inside the room at this moment had nothing to do with luxury; instead, it was filled with oppression and... weirdness.
Su Wuchang sat in the main seat in a commanding manner, while Su Xiaoxiao, Su Yueling, and more than ten other Su Family prodigies were lined up on both sides, each sitting upright with serious expressions and sharp gazes, as if they were not there for pleasure but for a formal trial.
The four famous courtesans, who usually captivated everyone, were now like four startled little quails—or rather, they were kneeling opposite them, trembling, not even daring to lift their heads.
In all their years in the industry, this was the first time they had seen such a scene.
The guests were more serious than they were!
"My... my lords..."
Ultimately, the "Book Fairy," who was accustomed to big scenes, was a bit bolder. She suppressed the fear in her heart, forced a charming smile, and spoke softly, "I wonder if you lords wish to hear music or play a game of chess? Or... do you want us sisters to accompany you for a few drinks?"
As she spoke, the "Fairy Painter" beside her had already perceptively lifted the wine pot, preparing to pour wine for Su Wuchang.
This was their way of hosting guests and the beginning of easing the atmosphere.
However, as soon as she approached, a cold light flashed in Su Wuchang's eyes.
"Get lost!"
He let out a loud shout, and an invisible surge of Qi erupted, directly shocking the Fairy Painter into stumbling back several steps. The wine pot in her hand fell to the ground with a clang, shattering into pieces.
The Fairy Painter screamed in fright, her face turning pale as she fell onto her backside on the floor.
The other three courtesans also trembled, their faces turning deathly white.
[Hmph, trying to use fine wine and beauty to numb me? Too naive!]
Su Wuchang sneered inwardly, [This wine must have been laced with drugs that can cloud the mind! Fortunately, I was prepared!]
He gave them no chance to perform any "Demonic Techniques" at all. He pushed away the "Fairy Qin" who tried to lean toward him, and with a swift motion, he pulled a scroll and a map from his robes and slammed them heavily onto the table.
The name written on the scroll was none other than the leader of the Xuantian Immortal Sect this time, Lin Yu.
"Don't give me this nonsense!"
Su Wuchang leaned forward, his oppressive face moving close to the terrified Book Fairy. With a ferocious glint in his eyes, he interrogated her word by word:
"Speak! What weaknesses does this scoundrel named Lin Yu usually have? What does he like to eat? What color clothes does he like to wear? What flaws are there in the Cultivation Techniques he practices?"
"And how are the guards around him deployed? How many sentries are in the open, and how many are hidden? What is the cultivation level of the strongest one? Where is he sleeping tonight? Is he sleeping alone, or is someone with him?"
"Tell me everything you know, honestly!"
"If you dare to tell a single lie, I will crush every bone in your body on the spot!"
Su Wuchang's voice was filled with unquestionable authority and cold Killing Intent.
The temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees because of it.
The four courtesans were completely bewildered.
Lin Yu?
The Upper Realm Immortal Envoy?
Of course they knew! These past few days, the entire Tiandu City had been in an uproar because of the matter of this so-called Upper Realm Immortal Envoy wanting to take the Great Xia Empress as a concubine.
But... but what did that have to do with them?
They were just a few weak women performing in a brothel; how could they possibly know the weaknesses and guard deployments of such a great figure?
And where he was sleeping tonight?
If they knew that, would they still need to be here accompanying guests?
The Book Fairy's mouth hung open, her mind a complete blank, totally unable to comprehend what this burly man was saying.
She looked at Su Wuchang's fierce and malevolent face, felt that Killing Intent that almost froze her Soul, her eyes rolled back, a faint wail escaped her throat, and she actually fainted on the spot, foaming at the mouth from sheer terror.
"..."
The entire room fell into a dead silence once again.
Su Wuchang looked at the "core intelligence personnel" who had just fainted like that and was also stunned.
[Fainted just like that?]
[Such poor mental fortitude? It seems she's not some high-level spy, just an peripheral operative.]
[Or is this... some kind of strategy of theirs? Using a fake faint to stall for time?]
He frowned, no longer paying attention to the unconscious Book Fairy, and turned his gaze to the "Chess Fairy" nearby, who was already shaking like a sieve.
"You! Speak!"
Su Wuchang pointed at her, his tone even more impatient. "Don't play dumb with me! You spies must have detailed information about the target in your heads! Speak up!"
"I... I don't know... I really don't know anything..."
The Chess Fairy sobbed, shaking her head desperately as tears fell like pearls from a broken string. "Lord, we really are just ordinary songstresses... please, I beg you, let us go..."
"Still being stubborn!"
Su Wuchang flew into a rage and slammed his hand on the table. The poor table finally succumbed to the burden and completely fell apart with a loud crash.
"It seems you won't tell the truth unless I use some methods on you!"
He slowly stood up and cracked his knuckles, which made a series of popping sounds.
Looking at those arms thicker than her own thighs and those fists the size of casseroles, the Fairy Qin and Fairy Painter finally could not withstand the immense fear. They hugged each other and let out earth-shattering cries for help.
"Waaa... someone help! Save us!"
"Murder!"
For a moment, the entire Heaven Character Number One Room turned into a living Hell.
Su Xiaoxiao and Su Yueling watched from the side, their brows also tightly furrowed.
"Brother Wu Chang, they really seem not to know," Su Yueling said in a low voice. "Their Divine Soul fluctuations are very pure; they don't seem to be lying."
Su Wuchang paused upon hearing this, feeling somewhat doubtful as well.
Could it be... he really got it wrong?
Is this place... truly just an ordinary brothel?
