Chapter 21: No One Can Resist My Charm
Ye Ning gazed at the attic.
Little did he know that there were eyes in the attic, also gazing at him.
“Is this the renowned Ye Ning?” A melodious female voice rang out.
In the attic, a woman sat diagonally, draped in a rosy garment, a pure white silk bodice concealing sizable curves. She wore a pale pink silk pleated skirt, simple yet elegant, exuding a grand aura.
Her cherry lips and jade-like face, especially those beautiful eyes, seemed to speak, radiating a captivating charm. One couldn’t help but look at her again and again, getting lost in her beauty. If one looked at her for too long, they could feel a deep seductiveness emanating from her.
This was the legendary natural charm. Even if she appeared dignified and spoke seriously, men couldn’t help but feel fiery inside and have bold thoughts upon seeing her.
“Miss, this gentleman is indeed Ye Ning. The servant has confirmed it,” said a maid standing beside her. She was wearing a green dress, was in her twenties, and was extraordinarily graceful.
Elsewhere, she would have been an absolute beauty, but standing next to her, she was immediately overshadowed.
She naturally attracted attention, seemingly gathering all the brilliance wherever she went.
“His Majesty sent a secret order for us to investigate him, and even allowed me to personally take action,” the woman said with interest, extending her snow-white arm like a lotus root. She lightly rested it on the window sill, softly asking, “Do you think this Mister Ye is worthy of my personal investigation?”
Though she was a maid, she wasn’t cautious but rather seemed somewhat bold. Hearing this, she smiled playfully. With her two moist little hands, she kneaded the woman’s shoulders, saying in a tender voice, “Everyone says Mister Ye is a true hero. I believe it’s not just empty talk.
“Otherwise, His Majesty wouldn’t let Miss, the owner of this Spring Wind Pavilion and the head of the Intelligence Division, personally come to test him.
“But, I can’t help feeling that it’s not very fair to Mister Ye.”
The maid’s casual chatter had a relaxed tone, but the information it conveyed was startling.
If outsiders heard it, they would surely be shocked.
Xiao Qianqian turned out to be the owner of the Spring Wind Pavilion?
And the head of the Intelligence Division!
The Intelligence Division had existed since the founding of the dynasty, responsible for monitoring the movements of cultivators.
The number of spies in the Intelligence Division was numerous, like a vast net covering the entire world.
They infiltrated everywhere, knew everything, and everyone.
The Intelligence Division was the eyes and ears of the Great Zhou Emperor.
But it had been destroyed by the Immortal Sects thousands of years ago, and all those massive volumes of documents were burned.
Countless spies were exposed and perished.
Overnight, the once prestigious Intelligence Division ceased to exist.
And now, it had been rebuilt with Xiao Qianqian, a brothel woman, as its head!
Who could have imagined?
And this series of plans was actually led by Xiao Qianqian herself.
The maid’s eyes were filled with deep admiration.
In her eyes, her young lady was truly extraordinary, far from an ordinary woman.
To conceal her identity, she didn’t hesitate to reside in a brothel.
She once said that the Spring Wind Pavilion had people from all walks of life coming and going, making it a good place for gathering intelligence.
As such, she willingly stayed here.
Such talent was no less than that of a man.
“Unfair? How so?” Xiao Qianqian asked.
“Miss’s charm, who can resist it? Is it fair to test Mister Ye with Miss?” The maid replied.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qianqian smiled lightly.
“You.”
She extended her delicate fingers and poked the maid’s chubby cheeks.
But she didn’t refute.
Because she knew very well how terrifying her charm was.
With her heavenly beauty and natural charm, not to mention that she was also a cultivator.
Could any man in this world resist her charm?
Probably not.
“When does Miss plan to start the test?” the maid asked.
“No rush. It’s not easy to meet me after all,” Xiao Qianqian chuckled lightly and said, “Go, deliver an invitation to him.”
Meanwhile, outside, the atmosphere had reached its peak.
People stared at the eight courtesans, their eyes almost spewing fire.
“What are they planning to do?” Ye Ning noticed.
The gazes of these lecherous old men below were filled with hostility toward each other.
“There are only eight courtesans, which means only eight people at most can become honored guests.” Liu Sanyuan explained.
“Want to catch the eye of the eight great courtesans? You have to show talent. As the saying goes, in literature, there’s no such thing as second place… Scholars have always been competitive, let alone when it comes to women, it’s even more fierce.”
“Talent?
“In what specific area?” Ye Ning asked, leaning on his cheek.
“Of course, poetry! Scholars adore it, and courtesans like it. A good poem can be famous for thousands of years,” Liu Sanyuan said with a smile. “In the Spring Wind Pavilion, the competition in poetry for courtesans has always been a unique sight in the capital city. Many people are not interested in courtesans, but still come here to show their talents. If they can stand out, they’ll be known as a romantic talent.” Ye Ning nodded.
Understood. This is a different kind of publicity.
Courtesans use literati to enhance their value.
Literati, on the other hand, use the influence of courtesans to showcase themselves.
Each gets what they need, which is fair.
While the two were talking, the top attic suddenly opened, and a charming maid walked out from inside.
She held a thin invitation in her hand, her eyes scanning the surroundings, and she loudly said, “Who is Mister Ye Ning?”
With her words, the entire audience was shocked.
