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

Chapter 1082: Chapter 318: Feng Zhaoyang Arc (1)_3

”Ten taels.”

”Ah, ten taels of silver.”

Yuchi felt a great deal of pain, real pain. Ten taels of silver was equivalent to tens of thousands in his previous life, tens of thousands for two hours, that’s five thousand an hour, and the key point is that this was purely for chatting. If you wanted anything more, that would cost extra.

Oh well, oh well, you have to give up something to gain something. Ten taels of silver, so be it. At least I can get some information about the State Capital from this Courtesan here. But a State Capital is still a State Capital, and these Courtesans probably have their own factions, so it’s important to be cautious when asking questions and gathering information.

At the very least, do not ask directly how to kill someone. Once you ask such a question, who knows if the Courtesan will turn around and relay this to her connections.

”So I can gather clues from the Courtesan, but the Courtesan can also gather information from me. It’s like a browser; I can find lots of news I need from the browser, but even if I open incognito mode, someone in the back end will still know what I’m looking for.”

”One must be careful.”

”Especially if this involves privacy, you must be very cautious and not carelessly search dangerous phrases online, as this is very dangerous. When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you, and the force of action is mutual.”

Why wasn’t I cautious before, especially in a major city like Tiesi City? Whatever questions I had, I would just ask directly. The reason was very simple, because these major cities could be replaced. Although Tiesi City is a top-class city, so is Cuncha City, and there are other top-class cities. If you can’t hack it in one, you switch to another.

But the State Capital is different. A State Capital is just that, a super big city. If things go awry, and I can’t stay in the State Capital, the losses would be great.

Then, Yuchi was surrounded by three young ladies and taken to the front of a room. As the door opened, Yin Shuang was filled with anticipation, peering out from under Yuchi’s black robe. Although the view was obstructed like looking through a veil, at least she didn’t have to worry about being seen!

”Courtesan, Courtesan! What kind of existence is a Courtesan?”

”Why are their fees so high?”

”Are they very beautiful?”

But Yuchi was a seasoned veteran. Once he entered the room, he immediately saw the woman sitting across from him at the round table. Naturally, there was no need to discuss her appearance; after all, she was a Courtesan, and there was no need to worry about her looks. The way she wore floral plumes and other accessories added a touch of elegance.

”Brother, this little woman has been waiting for you a long time,” the Courtesan said with a gentle smile.

”I’ve missed you too,” Yuchi replied with a smile.

The Courtesan was slightly surprised but quickly sat beside Yuchi, gently pouring him a cup of tea:

”It’s very cold outside, isn’t it? The New Year’s nearly here, and the State Capital is already covered in heavy snow. The air is filled with an unkind chill, so much so that it’s quite disheartening.”

”So if brother has anything troubling you, you can confide in me, and I promise to help ease your burdens!”

After that, she flashed Yuchi a dazzling smile.

Wow, Yin Shuang couldn’t help but admire internally: What a way with words! If it were me, I’d just bluntly say, ”Spit it out, and make it quick!”

The smile on Yuchi’s face remained as he sipped his tea. Honestly, the tea tasted quite ordinary, not as robust as the tea from Cuncha City. If the tea from Cuncha City was like osmanthus, the flavor of this tea was more like lotus.

It’s not that lotus isn’t good, but compared to the strong fragrance of osmanthus, once you’ve tasted osmanthus, lotus just doesn’t measure up.

Cuncha City truly lives up to its name. The further away you get, the more you appreciate its nuances, rich and not overpowering, leaving a lingering aroma all day long.

But I digress.

After carelessly sipping the tea twice, Yuchi smiled and asked, ”I’ve heard there’s a Courtesan here at Yunxiang Pavilion who aims to ascend further. Do you know anything about this, sister?”

So it turns out many customers have come for this recently, purely out of curiosity?

”Indeed, we have heard such news. One of our Courtesans at Yunxiang Pavilion has made a request to become a higher-status woman, and her title is already decided—being called ’Palace Courtesan’.”

Palace Courtesan, Yuchi recalled something from his past life.

In terms of status, Palace Courtesans were the highest, akin to ladies living within the grand red walls, serving the Emperor himself. Though the chance of directly catching the Emperor’s favor was slim, at least they didn’t worry about food and clothing, and their status was high.
