"Of course it is." As if he felt a little guilty, he quickly said loudly,"Brother Xia, what have you been up to these past few mornings? I've been calling the door for the entire morning, but there's no answer.”
"Haha…" This time, it was Xia Ziyan's turn to feel awkward. He quickly changed the topic,""Brother Jiang, it's getting late. I heard that Caishi City on the east side of Water City often produces treasures. Rather than wasting time here, why don't brother Jiang take us there for a stroll?”
Jiang Rui's interest was instantly piqued." Brother Xia, I don't want to say this, but our Quarry City is very famous in this area. I remember that not long before we went to the Forest of Water, a lucky cultivator bought a piece in Quarry City and dug out a water lily from it. Brother Xia, don't underestimate this water lily. It was left behind a thousand years ago. It can be considered a heavenly treasure. Some of them are lucky enough to buy large amounts of materials for refining weapons…" He pulled Xia Ziyan along and walked towards Caishi City. Along the way, his mouth never stopped talking. Xia Zichun and Xia Zihua looked at Jiang Rui's enthusiasm towards his brother and felt very uncomfortable. They kept throwing daggers at Jiang Rui.
At first, Jiang Rui felt a chill run down his spine, but he was used to it. After all, he had suffered a lot of cold knives along the way from the Forest of Water, but he was used to it now.
Although Caishi City was called a city, it was just a pavilion. However, this pavilion occupied an area of hundreds of hectares. There was an ordinary plate hanging in front of the door. There was nothing special about it. There were two stone lions on the left and right sides. There was nothing else in front of the door. People came and went here. Some were happy and some were sad. It was not difficult to see that the stones here were full of temptation to some cultivators. He couldn't help but want to try the bewitching power.
Jiang Rui brought them to the door. No one came to welcome them. They all walked in separately. Xia Ziyan didn't see any manservants here to welcome guests. He only saw that the entire attic was filled with stones. There were big and small stones, and the prices on them were different. They were not expensive because the stones were bigger. Some small stones were much more expensive than those big stones.
Xia Ziyan walked to a pile of rocks and turned to Xia Zihua and Xia Zichun,""If you like something, just buy it.”
"Mhm, got it."
"Alright, if you guys want to play, just go to the side and watch.”
"We'll stay by Brother's side and not go anywhere.”
Xia Ziyan didn't ask them to go out and play. He only asked them to stay by his side obediently and began to choose some stones that were pleasing to the eye. After Jiang Rui sent them back here, he left because someone asked him to. However, this was just right.
In the end, Xia Ziyan chose two smaller stones and spent three low-grade spirit stones. Xia Zichun and Xia Zihua chose a larger stone and spent two low-grade spirit stones. After they finished picking, Jiang Rui also finished his work and came back.
"Brother Xia, how did you pick a few stones? How many treasures did you get?"
"We picked three pieces in total, but we didn't throw them away. We plan to open them ourselves when we go back.”
Jiang Rui thought for a moment." That's true. It'll take another 100 spiritual pearls to untie them."”
Obviously, Jiang Rui had misunderstood them, but Xia Ziyan had no intention of explaining. He only nodded his head lightly.
"By the way, Brother Xia, did you guys go up to take a look?”
"I did, but I didn't like anything.”
Jiang Rui's mouth twitched. What did he mean by not liking anything? Could it be that the things inside couldn't enter his eyes?
Jiang Rui looked at the sky outside. It was almost dark."Brother Jiang, besides this Caishi City, we also have the Mandarin Duck Pavilion in the north.”
"Brother Jiang, please lead us there.”
When Xia Zichun and Xia Zihua heard Jiang Rui mention Yuanyang Pavilion again, their faces darkened, especially when they heard Xia Ziyan say that he would lead the way. They thought that their brother had come to Caishi City today and stayed there for the entire afternoon. They thought that their brother had forgotten about it. They didn't expect Jiang Rui to mention it again. If eyes could kill, Jiang Rui would be dead by now.
Xia Zichun and Xia Zihua were filled with resentment, but they couldn't let their big brother see through them. They couldn't reject their big brother's idea yesterday, but they couldn't tell him that they were not interested in beautiful women and were only interested in their big brother.
Helplessly, Xia Zichun and Xia Zihua could only follow behind their brother with dark faces. They thought to themselves that when they reached there, they must not let those brothel girls have any contact with their brother.
Yuanyang Pavilion was located at the southernmost part of Water City. It wasn't very far from where he was, but it wasn't very close either. When they arrived, the sky was already completely dark. From a distance, the Yuanyang Pavilion did not look like other brothels. It gave off a very elegant atmosphere. The Mandarin Duck Pavilion was built on an island.
The entire island was not very large. If one observed carefully, it was not difficult to see that this island was man-made. When they praised the atmosphere here, they could not help but sigh that the person who built this island could be said to be ingenious.
The entire island was about 1,000 square meters, and the Mandarin Duck Pavilion only took up three-fifths of it. The rest of the area was used to welcome guests and for guests to play and watch.
He was riding a small boat, drifting on the man-made blue lake. The pleasant sound of the stringed instrument drifted over the shore from time to time, attracting many tourists to look at each other.
"Not bad." Xia Ziyan said with a smile as he looked at the approaching Mandarin Duck Pavilion.
"That's right." Jiang Rui gave people a sense of pride when he said it, as if this Yuanyang Pavilion was his home."The girls here are even better. They are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Moreover, there is an unwritten rule here, that is, the girls here can only sleep with them if they are willing. No one can force you here. I can't force them. Moreover, most of the girls here had cultivation.”
"Hmm?" Xia Ziyan was surprised. He didn't expect the Flowing Cloud Pavilion to be a relatively elegant brothel.
"This rule has always existed since the establishment of this Yuanyang Pavilion. I'm forcing the girls here to wear their clothes. However, after he was beaten up by an aurous core stage cultivator here and gave a warning, such a thing never happened again. Moreover, the man's family went bankrupt, and there were always rumors that this Yuanyang Pavilion was behind it.”
Just like that, while they were talking, they arrived at the Mandarin Duck Pavilion.
Unlike other brothels, there were no brothels with heavy makeup to welcome guests. Instead, there was a delicately dressed maid standing quietly in front of the door, holding an oil-paper umbrella in her hand.
When he was on the lake, he didn't realize that it was still raining on this small island. It was just a drizzle.
"Big brother has a formation here." Xia Zihua grabbed Xia Ziyan's hand and said.
"Hmm?" Xia Ziyan looked at it in surprise. It was true. However, it seemed that this array formation should be protecting this pavilion from being destroyed by external forces.
He wondered who had the wealth to build an array here.
"Alright, let's go in."
When the delicate and pretty maid saw them, she only smiled faintly. Although she looked calm, she could not hide the surprise in her eyes.
"Welcome, four young masters, to the Yuanyang Pavilion.”The delicate maid held an oil-paper umbrella and bowed slightly.
Xia Ziyan was slightly surprised. Although he had heard on the way that most of the ladies here had cultivation, he did not expect that even the maids who welcomed the guests here had the cultivation of the first level of Qi Disciple. This was indeed beyond Xia Ziyan's expectations.
"Young masters, this should be your first time visiting our Yuanyang Pavilion. Are you not going to the Moon Tower or the Star Tower?”The maid said with a smile.
Brother Jiang didn't mention Yue Lou or Xing Lou on the way here. He asked curiously,"What's the difference between these two places?”
The maid smiled. Xing Lou indeed served both mortals and cultivators. At the same time, the Moon Tower's service. It will definitely be better than Xing Lou."
Xia Ziyan suddenly understood that this was a high-class clubhouse. Yue Lou was the only one who had died for those VIP clothes. Xing Lou was for the public.
Xia Ziyan had never thought that he was superior to others, and his purpose in coming here was not to enjoy himself. Therefore, the majority chose Xing Lou.
After paying the entrance fee of two low-grade spirit stones, they followed behind the maid. The group admired the surrounding scenery as they followed the maid in the direction of the star building.
Xing Lou was located at the back of the Yuanyang Pavilion and occupied about half of the area. There was a large stage in the middle of the hall. There were some graceful dancers dancing on the stage, surrounded by a group of people who were watching the show.
The maid led them into Xing Lou's door.""I wish the young masters a good time." With that, he bowed and turned to leave.
At this moment, some sharp-eyed girls came up to them.
"Young masters, this is your first time here, right?”This was a rather beautiful woman. The beautiful lady had a smile on her face as she welcomed them warmly.
"Yes, this is our first time here. I wonder if Miss has a private room here for us to enter.”Xia Ziyan didn't deny it and said with a smile.
The girl covered her mouth and smiled." Young Master, you might not know about some of our things."”
"Oh, can you tell me about it?" Xia Ziyan was a little surprised and asked curiously.
