Chapter 19: The First Time in Two Lifetimes
Liu Sanyuan was startled by Ye Ning’s “enthusiasm.”
When he came, he was somewhat worried that Ye Ning would ignore him.
It was very likely from Ye Ning’s performance in the Golden Luang Palace before, it could be seen that he was very stubborn and might not look kindly upon the son of this “treacherous minister.”
If Ye Ning firmly ignored him, Liu Sanyuan wouldn’t have much to do.
“It seems that although Ye Ning has a strong sense of justice, he is not narrow-minded. He won’t despise me just because my father has a bad reputation.” Liu Sanyuan secretly nodded.
He had already prepared himself to be despised by Ye Ning.
As the son of a treacherous minister, he was used to this treatment.
Lao Huangtou served tea, poured a cup for each of them, and then respectfully withdrew.
“Just now, Brother Liu said I have a threat to my life?” Ye Ning’s eyes gleamed.
He smelled the scent of trouble.
“Naturally. He Yuan died because of you, Brother Ye. The Feather Transformation Sect will not let it go easily.” Liu Sanyuan took a sip of tea. It tasted plain, just ordinary tea bought for a penny. The tea set was also ordinary, with some places even chipped.
“It seems he is a thrifty person.”
He secretly noted these details and once again gave Ye Ning extra points in his heart.
Since entering the courtyard, Liu Sanyuan had been carefully observing Ye Ning’s every move and word.
After all, he came with a mission.
He not only had to carry out Liu Shen’s “beauty trap” plan but also evaluate Ye Ning from his perspective.
After all, seeing was believing, and hearing was deceiving.
“So you mean the Feather Transformation Sect will come to kill me?” Ye Ning was ecstatic. “When?”
His fondness for He Yuan skyrocketed.
What a good brother!
Even if he died, he could still contribute.
“Brother Ye, don’t worry. The Feather Transformation Sect is busy with the anniversary of their founder. It won’t happen for a while.” Liu Sanyuan looked surprised.
This Mr. Ye was indeed worthy of his reputation. Upon hearing that a sect would come to kill him, instead of being afraid, he smiled.
Is this what they mean by “Mount Tai collapsing before one’s face without changing color”?
Liu Sanyuan finally understood today what a true hero was.
“So…” Ye Ning felt somewhat disappointed. “Does that mean my death will be postponed again?”
No!
I can’t always rely on others to come and kill me. I have to work hard myself!
Ye Ning cheered up and asked, “Brother Liu, there must be many powerful figures in the capital city that I shouldn’t offend, right?”
Liu Sanyuan was taken aback by Ye Ning’s question but quickly responded, saying, “Of course. The capital city is full of dangers. Brother Ye, why are you asking this?”
Due to system restrictions, Ye Ning couldn’t tell the truth, so he made up a pretext, saying, “As a mere imperial official, I have limited horizons and don’t know much. Brother Liu, as the son of a prime minister, has extraordinary insights. Since we have the rare opportunity to meet, naturally, I want to ask for clarification.”
Liu Sanyuan nodded and suggested, “If Brother Ye wants to know more about this, I am willing to share everything. However, why don’t we go somewhere else to talk?”
Ye Ning naturally had no objections and immediately agreed.
The two of them left the house and headed towards the city.
Whether in ancient times or modern times, there were always gaps between the rich and the poor. For example, the bustling areas of the capital city were mostly in the city.
The scenery was different from that of the suburbs.
As they walked, amidst the colorful scenery, Liu Sanyuan suddenly stopped and led Ye Ning to a place.
“Spring Wind Pavilion?” Ye Ning looked at the plaque.
After seeing the turtle-like figure bowing at the entrance, he understood.
“A brothel?” Ye Ning frowned.
I am eager to die. I am not interested in women. Why did he bring me here? No, to be precise, it wasn’t that he wasn’t interested in women; he just wasn’t interested in these ordinary women. After all, once he died, he would immediately become the Heavenly Emperor. At that time, he could have any woman he wanted, anywhere in heaven and earth.
“Brother Ye, it’s probably your first time at Spring Wind Pavilion, right?” Liu Sanyuan explained hurriedly. “This place is not an ordinary brothel but the most high-class elegant establishment in the capital city. The girls here are all beauties, especially the eight courtesans, who are exceptionally talented.
“Men who are not both talented and handsome cannot attract their attention.
“Anyone who can enter Spring Wind Pavilion is extraordinary.”
Ye Ning nodded and said, “I see, a high-class brothel.”
Liu Sanyuan smiled bitterly.
This Ye Ning really didn’t understand romance. This was clearly a high-end venue, but why did he have to make trouble with a brothel?
However, he couldn’t refute Ye Ning’s words. No matter how high-class it was, it was still a place where such business was conducted.
“In Spring Wind Pavilion, there is a figure who absolutely cannot be offended,” Liu Sanyuan said. “Since we’re already here, let’s go in and take a look.”
Ye Ning’s eyes lit up.
That’s what I wanted to hear.
He quickened his pace and walked ahead.
In two lifetimes, he had never been to such a place.
As soon as they entered, it was indeed as Liu Sanyuan had said, extraordinary.
Exquisite architecture, flowing water under small bridges, every aspect of the scenery exuded elegance.
The person who built Spring Wind Pavilion must be a remarkable master. Every step of the way was beautiful.
The people coming and going, the men were extraordinary in demeanor and wealthy.
Although there was a hint of flirtation in the women’s gestures, it wasn’t obvious.
Just from the outside, it was really hard to tell what kind of place Spring Wind Pavilion was.
“Lord Liu, you’ve arrived?” A familiar servant immediately came forward to greet them.
“Go, prepare my private room and serve all the signature dishes. Today, I want to drink with Brother Ye until I’m drunk!” Liu Sanyuan casually ordered.
The two of them took a seat in the private room.
Ye Ning was about to ask who the person he couldn’t afford to offend was when he heard a commotion outside.
Opening the window of the room and looking out, he saw a strange scene in the hall.
