Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In Yong ‘an City, near the Pure Yang sect.

A man had a pensive expression on his face. Behind him were two other people who were swaggering around the city.

Along the way, many people looked at them with envy. Of course, it was not because they were handsome. It was because of the flame symbol on their robes!

That was the symbol that represented the Pure Yang sect.

One had to know that the Pure Yang sect was one of the three great sects within the Tianluo Kingdom. In Tianluo, they were like the sun in the sky. Their fame spread far and wide.

Of course, they also noticed the envious gazes around them. They also enjoyed this kind of admiration, raising their heads as they walked towards a teahouse. They planned to drink some tea.

However, just as they sat down, they could hear waves of discussion from the people around them.

“Hey, have you heard? Recently, there’s an incomparably beautiful courtesan from the Heavenly Fragrance Workshop in Yong ‘an City!”

“I’ve also heard that this courtesan only sells her skills and not her body. No one has ever lifted the veil on her face. Yesterday, a wealthy merchant offered a sky-high price and wanted to meet her, but she refused!”

“I heard that this courtesan escaped and came here. There was a Beast Tide at the place where she was previously, so she couldn’t stay any longer. That’s why she ended up in Yong ‘an City, and was taken in by the lady boss of Heavenly Fragrance Workshop.”

“Yes! Yes! Yes! I was lucky enough to meet that beautiful courtesan yesterday!” A person in the crowd said with a smug expression.

“Oh? Tell me in detail, how beautiful is she?”

“Cough, cough.” That person cleared his throat and said, “Although that courtesan wore a veil to cover her face, her eyes were like silk, and her pair of delicate hands danced on the strings like butterflies. Every time she plucked the strings, it was beautiful and charming.”

After saying that, the man had an intoxicated expression on his face.

“Tsk, you might as well not say anything at all!”

“You can’t even describe her properly! Did you even see her?”

Those people said with ridicule.

Although that person was very unhappy, there was nothing he could do. He really had not seen that courtesan’s true appearance.

Besides the Heavenly Fragrance Workshop’s lady boss, no one had seen her before.

The three people from the Pure Yang sect heard it clearly from the side, and their interest was immediately piqued.

“Senior brother Wang, why don’t we go and take a look? Maybe that courtesan will throw herself into senior brother’s arms when she sees you,” said the short disciple with a wretched face.

“Yeah, it would be easy for you to attract the courtesan with your looks and strength,” the other disciple echoed.

Wang Yucheng listened to their flattery. Although he had been to the Heavenly Fragrance Workshop many times, those common ladies did not attract him anymore. However, he was very interested in this new courtesan.

Then, Wang Yucheng got up and left the teahouse. He walked toward the Heavenly Fragrance Workshop.

The two disciples also looked at each other and smiled, before hurriedly following after him.

Soon, the three of them arrived at Heavenly Fragrance Workshop.

They looked around and saw that around the main hall, ancient trees towered into the sky. The trees formed a shade of green. The red walls and yellow tiles were resplendent.

It was a huge building that looked like a palace. The golden glazed tiles sparkled under the sunlight.

At the top of the red vermilion gate hung a black sign made of gold-threaded wood. On the board, there were three big words, ‘Heavenly Fragrance Workshop’.

When they entered, they saw a group of pretty women swaying in front of them. It was very noisy inside.

However, at this moment, on the high platform behind them, a melodious sound of a zither was heard. In just an instant, everyone in the hall turned to look at the high platform.

Bing, bing…

The three of them also followed the sound of the zither.

They saw a young girl with a pair of white jade-like delicate hands gently stroking the strings, emitting waves of heavenly sounds. The young girl wore a white dress that looked like a light muslin.

She seemed to be in the fog. She seemed to be about 16 or 17 years old. Her beautiful black hair fell naturally down her shoulders. A veil covered her face, revealing only her bright and spirited eyes. She looked charming and seductive.

With just a glance, Wang Yucheng’s heart almost faltered. He stared blankly at the courtesan on the stage, lost in thought.

The melodious sound of the zither slowly reverberated in the hall, causing people to yearn for her. It made people want to remove her veil and take a look at her peerless beauty.

Time passed quickly, and the sound of the zither stopped, but the people below the stage were still immersed in it and did not want to wake up.

The courtesan’s gaze swept across the people below the stage. She was suddenly attracted by the flame symbol on the robes of the three people at the door.

At this moment, when Wang Yucheng saw that the courtesan was looking toward him, he immediately raised his head and puffed out his chest. He put on a posture that he thought he was the most handsome. He stood on the spot and stared intently at the courtesan.

When the courtesan saw this, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

Although they were separated by a light veil, Wang Yucheng could still see the change in the corners of her mouth.

He immediately thought to himself, ‘Could it be that she has taken a liking to me?’

The song ended, and the courtesan whispered something to the maid beside her. The maid nodded repeatedly.

Then, the maid walked to Wang Yucheng and said, “Young Master, the Young Miss, Meng Qi, invites Young Master upstairs for a chat.”

This made Wang Yucheng very excited. He pretended to be calm and said, “Please go ahead.”

As soon as he said that, everyone in the hall was shocked. Their faces showed disbelief.

“This… is this for real?!”

“My God!”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

There was nothing they could do. Countless people wanted to meet Meng Qi and see her face. No matter how much money they offered, they could not see her face. However, this was the first time that Meng Qi had taken the initiative to invite someone.

“Wait, look at the mark on his clothes. It’s from the Pure Yang sect!” Very quickly, someone carefully discovered that the person in front of them was actually a disciple of the Pure Yang sect.

“Sigh… no wonder it made Miss Meng Qi look at him in a new light. I can’t compare to him, I can’t compare to him.”

Amidst everyone’s exclamations, Wang Yucheng followed the maid and arrived at the room where Meng Qi was.

What he saw was that there was a purplish bookcase in the corner of the wall. The warm sunlight shone through the vermilion carved wooden window and scattered on a raised zither.

The pink gauze curtain brought in some petals from outside the window along with the wind, gently brushing the strings of the zither. The incense burner let out curls of smoke. The gauze curtain covered the entire boudoir.

He was intoxicated.

Then, he saw Meng Qi sitting in front of the table like a fairy. She was sacred and inviolable. Wang Yucheng was stunned by this scene.

Meng Qi said slowly, “Young Master, please take a seat.”

Then, Wang Yucheng smiled awkwardly and slowly sat down.

“Miss Meng Qi is as beautiful as a fairy. For a moment, I lost my mind.”

Hearing this, Meng Qi’s slender hands covered her jade-like lips and smiled.

After chatting with Wang Yucheng for a while, it turned out that Wang Yucheng could not stop bragging about himself. Meng Qi could not help but frown slightly and hurriedly changed the topic.

She asked, “Young Master, do you know a disciple called Su Chen in the Pure Yang sect?”

Wang Yucheng was originally chatting happily with Meng Qi. However, when he heard the word ‘Su Chen’, his face suddenly turned slightly cold. He was suddenly a little angry.

All these days, he had been thinking about how to deal with Su Chen, asking him to obediently hand over the medicinal garden. However, why did this courtesan know Su Chen? He was just about to deal with him.

He quietly suppressed his anger and calmly said, “Miss Meng Qi knows Su Chen?”

In his heart, he thought about the detestable Su Chen. He had offered Su Chen such good conditions, but he still did not agree to his deal.

Now, he had come out to visit the Heavenly Fragrance Workshop, yet he still met someone who knew about Su Chen. Moreover, she was such a beautiful person.

Meng Qi noticed the change in his expression.

After confirming that Su Chen was in the Pure Yang sect, she did not explain too much.

Now that Meng Qi mentioned Su Chen, Wang Yucheng immediately lost interest in the beauty in front of him. He kept thinking about how he could kill Su Chen. After all, this was related to his position in the clan and the future development of the Wang clan.

After staying for a while, he felt that his interest was lacking. He hurriedly bade farewell and rushed back to the sect to look for his uncle in the Law Enforcement Hall to discuss countermeasures against Su Chen.

After Wang Yucheng left.

A black shadow flashed past Meng Qi’s window.

An old man with wrinkles all over his face came into Meng Qi’s room.

Meng Qi stood up and bowed respectfully. “Master, we have confirmed that Su Chen is in the Pure Yang sect.”

The old man said lightly, “Yes..”
