224: An encounter in Baixiang Tower!

After accompanying the Empress Sister until evening, Li Shengyuan left the imperial palace and walked along the streets of the capital.

Unknowingly, he arrived at Bai Xiang Tower, which he had visited yesterday with Zixuan.

Zixuan had gone to investigate, but hadn't found anything yet.

Bai Xiang Tower's business on the surface was a restaurant, offering food, drinks, and entertainment...

It was what Li Shengyuan's previous life would call an entertainment club.

But what kind of business it conducted in secret, he didn't know.

As dusk fell, more and more people came, and Bai Xiang Tower's business was top-notch throughout the capital!

From outside Bai Xiang Tower, one's spiritual sense would be blocked by a formation, making it impossible to clearly perceive what was inside. This was also considered protection of personal privacy, and such formations were common in any high-end establishment.

"The isolation formation is quite good. Bai Xiang Tower must have invested heavily!"

Although Li Shengyuan could break through the isolation and investigate with his powerful spiritual sense, it would inevitably alert the enemy, making it not worth the effort.

Then, looking at the luxurious Bai Xiang Tower, he smiled slightly, "Why bother investigating from outside? Wouldn't it be better to just go in and take a look around!"

So what if he was Li Shengyuan? Who said a meritorious official of Great Qian couldn't go out and have fun?!

Even if his Sister and the others asked, he could find a good excuse to put them off, and he could even ask his Sister to cover the expenses when he returned!

After a slight disguise of his aura and facial features, Li Shengyuan walked into Bai Xiang Tower with one hand behind his back and a folding fan in the other.

Although he wasn't afraid of his identity being exposed, it was still better to disguise himself.

As for the folding fan, he had borrowed it from Ye Hangzhou a long time ago.

Although it seemed a bit pretentious, it really did give him the appearance of a refined young master.

The richly dressed Li Shengyuan was courteously received by Bai Xiang Tower and led to a luxurious private box on the second floor. However, the person who received him felt that the guest in front of him was very strange; not only could they not see his face clearly, but they would also forget what he looked like as soon as they turned away, and most importantly, there was no abnormality in their heart.

The first floor, being cheaper, was where ordinary drinkers gathered. In the center, there were performers playing the zither and flute, and dancing girls performing...

It was truly a place for enjoyment and romance.

Although Li Shengyuan didn't often come to such places, he had to admit that the quality of Bai Xiang Tower was truly high!

Not only the dancing girls on stage and the musicians, but even those serving tea and pouring water were all beautiful women.

Li Shengyuan drank the spiritual wine leisurely, watching the captivating dance, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Watching the dancing girls, Li Shengyuan's expression flickered for a moment, and he couldn't help but recall the dance he had with Consort Peishuyun of Yan in Yanwang City in the Northern Territory.

After their farewell in Yanwang City, he had heard nothing more from her. Li Shengyuan had ordered the Demon Suppression Division to investigate, but they couldn't find anything...

Li Shengyuan shook his head and sighed, "Perhaps we'll meet again if fate allows. I still have two lines of poetry I haven't told you..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shengyuan drained the wine in his cup.

At this moment, Li Shengyuan heard two familiar voices, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, turning to look at the staircase leading upstairs, his expression somewhat strange.

Then he chuckled softly, "What a coincidence, to actually meet them here!"

"Let's see whose luck is stronger now, mine or your bad luck!"

The next moment, Li Shengyuan's figure disappeared from where he stood.

"Senior Brother, I didn't expect you to come with me. With you here today, I'm sure I can win back everything I lost before!" Little Fatty Song Zhen said excitedly.

Chu Chunqiu took a big gulp of wine, his eyes hazy, and said drunkenly:

"Hold on, let me make it clear beforehand, I'm not here to gamble with you. I came because Bai Xiang Tower has good wine, and you have a discount here..."

"You go to the gambling room upstairs. This second floor is good enough. I'll wait for you here, brother..."

After speaking, Chu Chunqiu walked towards an excellent spot by the window where he could still see the graceful dancing girls on the first floor.

Chu Chunqiu muttered softly, "I'm not going to gamble with you. Last time I just looked, and it sucked away all my good luck, making me fall into a ditch. I'm definitely not going this time!"

Sitting in the elegant seat, Chu Chunqiu looked satisfied and laughed loudly:

"Bring me the best wine, put it on my Junior Brother's tab..."

Song Zhen watched his Senior Brother stumble away, feeling a little disappointed that his Senior Brother wasn't coming with him, and could only nod:

"Alright, Senior Brother, you drink here. I'll play a few rounds and then come find you."

Then he said to the maid beside him, "Fill up my Senior Brother's cup with your best spiritual wine from Bai Xiang Tower."

"Yes, Young Master Song."

Song Zhen rubbed his hands, excitedly about to go upstairs, when his shoulder was patted.

Li Shengyuan's familiar soft chuckle came from beside his ear:

"Junior Brother Song, if Senior Brother isn't going to play with you, how about I go with you?!"
