Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses

”Finally, if you have the interest, you can come to me, and I can help you open your heart.”

After the young maiden finished speaking, Yuchi understood. No wonder the maids at Wutao Pavilion are so beautiful. It turned out Wutao Pavilion did two kinds of business. When a guest arrived at Wutao Pavilion, if they simply wanted to listen to music and gather information, they could see the Courtesan. But if the Courtesan seemed disappointingly unattainable, they could then turn to other maids to fill the void in their hearts, indulging in both types of business.

”I get it now. No wonder this young lady is so good to me. She has her own business interests too.”

Yuchi understood. With the heavens watching, he certainly couldn’t directly engage with this young lady in anything improper.

Therefore, with the hospitality he received, he discreetly took out a tael of silver from his sleeve, placing it in the young maiden’s hand. As she smiled broadly, he said, ”Thank you for your hard work. Were I not feeling a bit tired of late, I would indeed like to accompany you.”

The young maiden was surely very satisfied.

No matter how much a guest boasts, gold and silver are what’s truly substantial. In all matters of the world, at the core, it’s all just selling oneself, so no need to begrudge each other’s exaggerations. The young maid leaned over lightly pecking Yuchi’s cheek, ”Young master, you’re so kind!”

”Haha.” Yuchi laughed.

Then, under the young maiden’s guidance, he made his way to the third floor of Wutao Pavilion, nodding to many like-minded individuals along the way. Everyone wore expressions of a mutual understanding. When Yuchi finally stopped, there was a door in front of him. Hanging outside the door was a sign, and on it were two words: Yi Jun.

”Young master, this is it. If there’s any displeasure or any lack of hospitality from our Wutao Pavilion, you can come straight to us. Please avoid any conflict with the lady of the Courtesan. Our Wutao Pavilion will surely give you a satisfying answer, as we are all about legitimate business and professionalism.”

The young maiden was still a bit concerned about Yuchi. After all, he had given her a tael of silver, which was not a small amount. If Yuchi were to get beaten by Yi Jun later on, she would feel heartbroken, truly heartbroken for her brother.

It can’t possibly go wrong. Yuchi smiled as he let go of the young maiden’s wrist, saying, ”I’m going in.”

”Mm, goodbye, young master.”

...

The door opened and closed, and Yuchi entered the pavilion with great curiosity. The interior decoration was quite pleasant, resembling a standard room of a genteel lady. Indeed, various antiques and calligraphy were displayed, and a few potted plants were placed here and there. Naturally, the most striking item was a low square table.

The low square table was situated on a bamboo-woven floor. On the table were pastries and a tea pot, and in front of the table was a curtain. Made of a certain kind of silk, the semicircular curtain obscured the view, except for a silhouette behind it against the light.

”Oh, this is intriguing and refined. Is this a case of hiding the pipa partially?”

Yuchi wasn’t unfamiliar with such places. Seeing the setup here, he remained very composed, walking up to the low-table, taking off his shoes, and sitting down. While pouring himself some tea, he proactively addressed the silhouette within the room, ”Miss, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

”Hm.”

From behind the curtain, a calm voice soon arrived. Before Yuchi could respond, a slightly proud reply already came, ”Here for music or for matters?”

Ugh, this service attitude! Am I seeking my fortune told? Besides, Miss, I don’t owe you money… Yuchi poured himself a cup of tea and simply said, ”For matters.”

”Speak.”

”What insights do you have about the Great Tang Prison?” Yuchi directly inquired.

”The Great Tang Prison is as renowned as Star Observation Tower. It’s under the Imperial Decree Department, a very mysterious and powerful entity. Without the assistance of the Great Tang Prison, we would be powerless to punish criminals. Therefore, the Great Tang Prison is an excellent force, one I hold in great respect.”

Yuchi: ”...”

Please, be a bit more perfunctory, please act a bit colder, Miss, your tone is undeniably dismissive. Is this a scam for kids? Is this really what you think inside? I’m not even from the Great Tang Prison; why so tense? I paid you, didn’t I!

Given the situation, Yuchi straightforwardly said, ”Is that all you know about the Great Tang Prison? If that’s all, you are unworthy of the ’Courtesan’ title. Aren’t you perhaps here through connections, or is the Courtesan of Wutao Pavilion just a mere name?”

”Hehehe, sounds like you’re here to cause trouble?” The woman’s arrogant voice came through, full of bewilderment, ”I can’t understand why you’re picking a fight here at Wutao Pavilion. You could easily try somewhere else. If not causing trouble, your imagination’s simply running wild.”
