That night, before Tian Zhenyu left, he told his mother that he wanted to redeem me, so naturally, my mother refused to let me go. However, because he was a reputable figure in the martial arts world, it was not appropriate to reject him directly. In the end, he proposed a ransom of 100,000 taels. Tian Zhenyu agreed without a second word and said that he would come over to redeem me in a few days.
The news that Drunken Red Pavilion's Rain Butterfly was about to be redeemed spread like wildfire. Every time I went out for a walk, there would be people coming up to ask me. Some advised me not to have high hopes, some mocked me for being naive, and there were also those who sincerely wished me well. However, even I didn't know what the outcome was. To be honest, even if Tian Zhenyu had some achievements in the business world, he probably wouldn't be able to take out 100,000 taels in a short period of time.
Three days later, Tian Zhenyu really did bring 100,000 taels of silver to ask his mother to hand over the indwelling contract. Unexpectedly, his mother actually went back on her word and said that the ransom had increased and now it was 200,000 taels of silver. Tian Zhenyu had clearly guessed that his mother would go back on her word and take out another 100,000 taels of silver. That was why his mother was extremely unwilling to take out a piece of paper from the dressing table drawer.
Tian Zhenyu took the paper and handed it to me after checking it. This piece of paper was indeed the contract of selling oneself. He gently curled his lips and tore it into pieces on the spot. He ran back to the attic to pack his things and could not wait to leave the Drunken Red Pavilion. Before he left, he let Yun Duo quietly follow behind him.
She was walking aimlessly on the street with Tian Zhenyu. She took out two hundred thousand taels of silver from her bag and handed them to him. When she heard his question, she said," Miss Yu Die, this is?”
"I'll return your two hundred thousand taels. If I knew the ransom was so cheap, I would have redeemed it myself.”Speaking of this, I was depressed. I thought that the ransom would cost at least a few million taels, but it was only so little. Was this queen worth so little?
"No need. Since I have promised to redeem Miss Yu Die, I will do my best.”Tian Zhenyu refused.
She pursed her lips and took back the ticket. She paused for a moment before saying," Yudie is a flower name. Don't call me that in the future. Before entering the Drunken Red Restaurant, my name is Yue."”
" Yue, the current Empress Yue?!" Tian Zhenyu looked very surprised.
I heard a cross at the back of my head. That detestable Demon Lord, the first time he went to court after unifying the two countries, he announced to the world that he would make me the empress, even though I wasn't in the palace at that time." No, it's just the same name. Where are you going next?”
"This one is going to fetch Biao Younger Sister back to The World's Greatest Manor, where is Miss Yue?”When Tian Zhenyu heard me say that he only had the same name, he felt relieved.
"I don't know. I don't have anywhere to go. I guess I'll just walk and stop until I find a place I like and settle down there.”Actually, I could also say that I would go to the World's Best Manor with him, but thinking about that cousin, I don't want to go. I've never been on good terms with women.
"Since that's the case, why don't you come back to The Best Manor with me?”Tian Zhenyu suggested, thinking that this Miss Yue was indeed special. If it was any other woman, she would definitely follow him.
After thinking for a while, he nodded and agreed. The cousin of the leader of the martial arts world probably knew some martial arts. My current identity was that of a weak girl who had no ability to protect herself. According to past experience, something would definitely happen when I traveled with them. Wasn't it very interesting?
We talked and laughed all the way to a large family. Just the two stone lions at the door were enough to be imposing. On the horizontal board were two golden heavenly palaces. Tian Zhenyu went up to knock on the door and not long after, a servant opened the door. He politely welcomed him in and went to inform the owner. Tian Zhenyu brought me to the hall to wait. Unlike him who was focused on waiting for me to look around, the layout of this place was very grand. The atmosphere was elegant, and it could be seen that the owner had good taste.
Just as she was thinking about a pink flash in front of her eyes, a faint fragrance wafted through the tip of her nose, and her cousin's voice that sounded like an oriole's cry entered her ears. She turned around and saw a slender and elegant young girl standing in front of Tian Zhenyu, acting coquettishly. She did not look like a lady from a wealthy family in a luxurious dress. She was dressed in a simple pink Jianghu attire. Just by looking at her attire, I knew that she knew martial arts.
The young lady saw me sitting next to her and her gaze immediately became sharp. There was a faint hostility hidden in her eyes." Isn't this the pillar of the Drunken Red Pavilion, Miss Yudie? Why are you here?”
"Qingsi, I have redeemed Miss Yue this morning. You must live in harmony from now on.”Tian Zhenyu instructed his cousin.
"Cousin means that she will always be with us in the future?”Tian Qingsi obviously understood the meaning behind his words.
"Yes, I've already invited Miss Yue to be a guest at The World's Greatest Manor.”Tian Zhenyu said frankly.
"I don't want to. I just want to leave with cousin. Why would there be an outsider, and a shameless prostitute?”Tian Qingsi threw a tantrum and started to speak without restraint.
I just kept silent, but I knew that this woman already regarded me as her love rival. It would probably be very lively along the way. I slightly lowered my eyes so that Tian Zhenyu wouldn't see the light that flashed past. I didn't expect him to mistakenly think that I was hurt by these words and slightly reprimanded my cousin for not insulting me. Tian Qingsi wanted to say something but was interrupted by her parents who had just arrived at the hall.
I wasn't in the mood to listen to the rest of the conversation. It was about greeting each other and asking Tian Zhenyu to take good care of his only daughter. Then, it was about the family's farewell. Children of the martial arts world wouldn't cry easily, so Tian Qingsi's tears only rolled around and didn't fall. She took the bag and sword that the servant girl had brought over and knelt down to kowtow to her parents. She got up and the three of them walked out of the Heavenly Mansion together.
The servants were waiting at the door with two horses. Tian Zhenyu and his cousin mounted the horses at the same time. Their movements were smooth. As for me, I stayed where I was and suddenly thought of the last time I rode a horse with King Jing. I swiped my hand into my line of sight. There was a thick layer of calluses between my thumb and forefinger. I raised my head and saw Tian Zhenyu's signal. I reached out and grabbed the next second to sit in front of him. The two horses set off outside the city.
Along the way, only Tian Qingsi was chattering non-stop. Although Tian Zhenyu would reply, he was obviously absent-minded. To think that she could still keep talking. Behind her, Tian Zhenyu asked," Does Miss Yue still mind what Qingsi said? I apologize on her behalf."
She shook her head and held her long hair that was blown away." She's telling the truth. I'm indeed a prostitute. Even though I've already redeemed myself, I've heard worse things than this. How can I mind?"”
Tian Qingsi saw the gentle expression on Cousin's face when he spoke to me and was furious. She snorted coldly and turned to the other side. Not long after they left the city, a group of people ran out from the side. All of them held swords, knives, and clubs. They reined in their horses and stopped. Tian Zhenyu asked," Who are you?”
Without waiting for them to answer, I explained," The big hand of the Drunken Red Pavilion. It must be the brothel madame who wants to capture me back."”
"What? I have already paid the ransom. How can she do this?”Tian Zhenyu was very surprised.
"What's there to be surprised about? It's a brothel after all. The old madam of the Drunken Red Brothel is famous for her selfishness. The number of girls who died in her hands is at least three digits.”I said calmly.
Then, a fight was inevitable. However, how could a group of thugs who knew nothing about martial arts be a match for the leader of the martial arts world? They only needed to deal with people who could not protect themselves. Therefore, they were beaten up very badly. In the end, they limped away, covering their faces or stomachs.
"Cousin, why didn't you kill them to get rid of the evil for the people?”Tian Qingsi saw that her cousin only beat them back and questioned them.
"Qingsi, we don't practice martial arts to kill people. Just hand them over to the government for investigation. "Go," Tian Zhenyu replied and continued to set off.
The government? How naive. Why didn't you think about why the brothel madame of the Drunken Red Pavilion would be so arrogant and evil? It was fine. Her backer was the government. However, all of this had nothing to do with me. The game had already begun. Next, it was time to set off for the finish line.
