Chapter 24: Chapter 24 You Are Very Dangerous_1
Translator: 549690339
Colorful Moon Building.
The largest brothel in Yanjiao City, the favorite gathering place for scholars and gentlemen in the city.
The brothels in this world are different from those in prostitute houses. Prostitute houses are simple and straightforward with a primary focus on selling bodies. They are mostly small-scale and located in hidden places. Like the Spider Spirit Brothel that Chu Liang destroyed last time, it was in an inconspicuous corner outside the city.
Brothels, on the other hand, lean more towards selling artistic performances with larger scale and stronger social gathering characteristics. Normally, the good girls inside are just there to accompany guests in drinking and watching performances.
Of course, if you have some other requests, as long as the good girls agree, it's not impossible.
However, it's hard to get the popular performers. Even if you offer a high price, you only get some casual drinking and feasting opportunities. It's not so easy to have a deeper exchange with them.
Recently, Yan Xiaohu has been pursuing a popular performer at the Colorful Moon Building, a girl named Rou Yi.
All these were told to Chu Liang by the gatekeeper of the Yan Family, a warm-hearted uncle. Chu Liang asked politely for a few times, and he shared all that he knew.
Of course, there was no need to mention the two pieces of silver that Chu Liang had politely given him beforehand.
It was nightfall at this moment.
When Chu Liang arrived at Colorful Moon Building, the place was already lively with music and dancing. On the stage of the first floor hall, several women in soft gauze were dancing gracefully to the musicians' accompaniment.
Groups of customers were sitting at tables, eating and listening to music accompanied by good girls. The second floor had private seats separated by beaded curtains. The third floor was private rooms, where generous or shameless guests would go.
Undoubtedly, Yan Xiaohu was both generous and shameless.
So, as soon as Chu Liang entered, he started to go upstairs.
Immediately, an older woman waving a fan approached him, her eyes gleaming, "Oh, this young man is a fresh face. Are you here to call for a girl upstairs?"
"Hello, I'm here to find someone," Chu Liang said. "Is Young Master Yan Xiaohu upstairs?"
"Oh, so you're a friend of Young Master Yan. Please wait, and I'll have someone take you to him." The procuress was also quite agreeable.
After all, Chu Liang was handsome and gentle, an obvious gentleman at first sight. He didn't look like he was here to make trouble.
She waved for a page boy to come over and led Chu Liang to the third floor, to a private room.
There were two burly men with bulging temples standing outside the private room. Apparently new bodyguards hired by Yan Xiaohu, their cultivation was evidently higher than those from the last time.
"Young master, please wait a moment. I'm going to announce you," the page boy said.
"No need, I can go in myself." Chu Liang gently stopped him and went forward.
The two bodyguards intimidated anyone who dared to approach. When they saw Chu Liang getting close, they put on an unapproachable demeanor. But Chu Liang was not afraid and politely said, "Hello, I'm here to find Yan Xiaohu. We're classmates."
"Classmates?" The left guard furrowed his eyebrows. "The young master said he's not seeing anyone."
The right guard was more straightforward and said coldly, "Scram."
"I see..." Chu Liang said with a slight smile.
...
"When will Miss Rou Yi be here?"
In the private room, Yan Xiaohu had an unhappy expression. Beside him were two scared girls in colorful dresses, looking extremely nervous, afraid of this little tyrant's temper.
"Sister Rou Yi is currently in a conversation. She'll be here soon. Young Master Yan, please be patient."
"I have already spent several thousand silver coins on her. Can't I be prioritized?" Yan Xiaohu, his face still with visible wounds, said angrily, "I'm in a rather bad temper now."
After all, it was because he had been beaten up the day before and lost face at Nanshan Academy that he felt depressed and wanted to unwind. However, upon arriving, he was told that Rou Yi was not available and he had to wait.
Just as he was about to lose his temper, there was a sudden noise from outside. The door was banged open, and the two bodyguards tumbled in.
"Who's there?" Yan Xiaohu stood up immediately and shouted.
"Young Master, he insisted on coming in. We… we couldn't stop him." The bodyguard moaned as he got up.
"Who dares to mess with me, Yan Xiaohu, on my turf in Yanjiao City?" He was about to explode immediately.
Subsequently, Chu Liang walked in calmly.
"Ah..." Yan Xiaohu's rage vanished instantly, replaced first by a moment of blankness, then by a polite smile. "Chu... Brother Chu, it's you."
He was afraid of Chu Liang now, not just because he couldn't beat him. But because, after his father had seen the Sword Coin that Chu Liang had sent him, he directly told him that this was someone they shouldn't mess with. Forget about revenge.
It's a bitter thing when even someone you can't beat outranks you.
"I came to visit you, but they told me to leave." Chu Liang said indifferently.
"They're so rude!" Yan Xiaohu frowned, ordering, "You two, get out!"
The two bodyguards were inexplicably scolded again and had no choice but to slink out, closing the door on their way.
"Heh heh, have a seat, Brother Chu." Yan Xiaohu offered with a sycophantic smile.
"Thank you." Chu Liang moved closer, turning his gaze towards the two girls at the side.
The two girls were quite young. In their eyes, Yan Xiaohu was already the most bully-like character in Yanjiao City. They didn't expect such a handsome young man could make him so afraid.
Which made them even more scared.
But Chu Liang gave them a gentle smile, and quickly allayed their fears.
A young man with such a nice smile couldn't possibly be bad, right?
"What's that behind the two of you?" The handsome young man pointed at their backs, looking puzzled.
"What?" The two girls turned to look.
Thump, thump.
There were two dull sounds, and the two girls sank to the ground in quick succession.
Behind them, Chu Liang held a half-block of gleaming gold brick, looking disappointed.
"Ah..." Yan Xiaohu, who had witnessed the whole scene, was at a loss for words.
He was a bit stunned.
Coming from a family renowned for patronizing brothels, Yan Xiaohu had grown up seeing all sorts of props used in brothels.
But a brick, this was the first time he'd seen it.
What kind of perverted taste was this?
Chu Liang weighed the gold brick in his hand saying, "Don't worry, they're fine, just a little dizzy. But you're in danger. Do you know that?"
"I'm in danger?" Yan Xiaohu was taken aback. He then nodded in agreement. Yes.
With you here, aren't I in great danger?
"Chen Da also died last night. Of all the people who bullied Situ Yan, only you're left." Chu Liang straightforwardly stated, "Situ Yan might have become the Masked Ghost, possessing the ability to transform into other people. Anyone who comes close to you could potentially be her."
"What?" Yan Xiaohu was startled.
He had previously heard about Situ Yan transforming into a vengeful spirit for revenge, but he didn't take it seriously. He was different from the others. He was a martial arts practitioner guarded by experts. The Resentful Spirit couldn't possibly kill people in the Black Tiger Guild.
But if...
If it was a Masked Ghost, killing a minor First Realm martial artist like him would be easy.
No matter how dangerous Chu Liang could be, at worst he would get a beating. But if it's a ghost, it's life-threatening.
He quickly realized the urgency. He also understood that Chu Liang was probably here for him and hurriedly asked, "Brother Chu... can you help me?"
"I came here to save you." Chu Liang said. "I suspect you've been targeted by the Masked Ghost. That's why I came to watch you. I can tell a Masked Ghost apart. I need to check everyone who approaches you tonight."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Yan Xiaohu nodded repeatedly, then pointing at the girls on the floor, he said, "Brother Chu, check them quickly."
"..." Chu Liang paused, then said, "I have already done that."
