Just as Lu Yuan and the rest reached the entrance of the Drunken Cloud Brothel, a charming mature woman with heavy makeup immediately came up to them with a smile.
“Milords, may I ask if you would like to listen to music or drink tea? Do you have any girls you are familiar with? If not, I can introduce them to you…”
Faced with such professional jargon, Lu Yuan would like to state that this was his first time here and he could not understand it.
Since he couldn’t understand, he naturally couldn’t answer the beautiful woman’s question.
Fortunately, among them, there was still the experienced Practitioner Shang Yun.
Shang Yun walked forward and with great familiarity, he took out a banknote and stuffed it into the beautiful woman’s chest. He said very calmly, “A private room on the third floor. Send over the best girls you have.”
When the beautiful woman saw Shang Yun’s face, she immediately exclaimed in surprise, “Oh my, to think it’s Lord Shang. It’s all my fault for having blurry vision due to old age. To think 1 didn’t recognize you just now. Please come in, please come in…”
Faced with the woman’s warm attitude, Shang Yun still maintained his haughtiness.
Even so, it didn’t make the beautiful woman’s enthusiasm weaken in the slightest.
That was because Shang Yun’s action of stuffing the banknote into her chest just now was really charming!
After receiving the tip, the beautiful woman quickly displayed the professional sendee attitude that the Drunken Cloud Brothel should have.
“Ladies, send the lords to the private room on the third floor!”
Not long after, a few women wearing provocative clothes came to the side of the four with smiles.
They held the arms of Lu Yuan and the other three naturally as they led them upstairs.
During this process, to show that he was not a “first timer” here, Lu Yuan tried his best to imitate Shang Yun and put on a classic cold expression.
However, in front of the experienced girls, Lu Yuan’s attempt to cover up was simply full of flaws.
They could easily tell that he had never been to a place like the Drunken Cloud Brothel.
Coupled with Lu Yuan’s young and handsome appearance, the few ladies quickly came up with the image of a rich young master who was not very worldly.
The girl who was holding onto Lu Yuan’s arm felt as if she had picked up a treasure.
Not only did she throw flirtatious glances at Lu Yuan with her beautiful eyes, but in the process of going upstairs, she continued to nudge him with her breasts, to the extent that Lu Yuan almost couldn’t hold himself back.
Regarding this, Lu Yuan’s feelings were very complicated.
Truth be told, if she was leading the way, she should just do that. What’s the meaning of nudging him so many times with her breasts?
Was she showing off her skills?
He knew she was very dedicated to her work, but could she please look at the occasion?
Couldn’t they wait until they were in a quieter place?
Soon, they arrived at a private room on the third floor.
The private room was decorated in a very antique style. Behind the screen, there was a woman playing the zither. The atmosphere was very good.
Lu Yuan could not help but sigh in his heart.
As expected of the Drunken Cloud Brothel which was the number one entertainment venue in the capital.
Whether it was the service attitude and attitude of the staff or the decorations along the way, they were all of the best quality.
Even Lu Yuan, who had watched countless films in his previous life, still felt a sense of shock.
Who said that the ancient people didn’t know how to have fun?
Not only did they know how to have fun, but they were also quite good at it!
In the private room, after everyone had taken their seats, Shang Yun turned to the beautiful woman who had followed them and said, “Let the girls leave first, we have some things to discuss. I’ll call you again after everything is over.”
As he said that, Shang Yun took out a banknote and placed it in front of the beautiful woman.
The beautiful middle-aged woman took the banknote and said with a smile, “Then milords, please rest well. When milords are done discussing matters, 1 can arrange for the girls to come and take care of milords at any time.”
“Alright, alright, you can leave now. There’s nothing for you to do here.”
The beautiful woman nodded before bringing everyone away, including the zither-playing woman.
When there was no one else in the room, Shang Yun waved his hand and cast a soundless barrier to ensure that no one else could hear their conversation.
When everything returned to calmness, Lu Yuan looked at the three of them and asked indifferently, “Alright, tell me about the Devil Slayers Division’s situation in the past few years.”
Shang Yun nodded his head and took out a small enlightenment jade.
The so-called enlightenment jade could be taken as the celestial cultivation version of the USB drive.
As long as one instilled their spiritual sense into it, the person holding the enlightenment jade would be able to know the information stored in it.
Lu Yuan took the enlightenment jade and carefully checked it with the system.
Even though he already had a preliminary assessment of Shang Yun and the others, as a steady person, he would naturally not trust others so easily.
Caution was the parent of safety. Some things looked like enlightenment jades, but they might be some small bombs.
[Enlightenment Jade (small)]
[Effect: Able to store some information.]
Alright, this was indeed not a hidden weapon that would suddenly explode…
After confirming that there was no problem with this item, Lu Yuan held the enlightenment jade and quickly browsed through the information within.
There was not much content in the enlightenment jade. It was mainly divided into two parts.
A part was the information on the Devil Slayers Division’s cases in the past twenty years.
The other part was information on unsolved cases.
Without exception, all the unsolved cases were suspected to involve beings comparable to Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, which was why the Devil Slayers Division couldn’t solve these cases in the short term.
Among the cases that had already been solved, Lu Yuan saw two familiar names.
One of them was the demoness Meng Ruyan, and the other was the doormat, Chen Yan.
Lu Yuan did not really care what Chen Yan had done. He only spent more time browsing through what the demoness Meng Ruyan had done.
In these twenty years, the demoness Meng Ruyan had come to the Devil Slayers Division three times.
And for these three times, she perfectly solved Foundation Establishment Stage strange incidents without fail.
However, Lu Yuan noticed a detail.
The demoness Meng Ruyan took longer to complete the missions. She spent a lot of her time in the Ye family that was in the Imperial capital.
Other people might not think much of it. After all, the demoness Meng Ruyan was the Ye family’s young miss, Ye Tingyu. It was very normal for her to stay in the Ye family for a while to see her relatives.
However, Lu Yuan knew very well that Meng Ruyan was not Ye Tingyu. She had no blood relationship with the Ye family.
As such, she couldn’t possibly be going to the Ye family just to visit her relatives. There must be some secret.
That being said, Lu Yuan did not intend to dig out what this secret was.
Curiosity killed the cat. His plan here was to get through his ten-year term in office smoothly.
Once the ten years were up, he would immediately leave.
In this process, Lu Yuan did not seek to gain merits but to make no mistakes.
It was still the same sentence: He would rather do nothing than make a mistake!
After burying the matter of Meng Ruyan and the Ye family in his heart, Lu Yuan looked at the other three and said, “1 have a rough understanding of the situation. Today’s business will end here. Everyone, please don’t be restrained. Today, there is no hierarchy between us, only fate that has brought us together.”
Hearing this, Shang Yun laughed. Then, he stood up and clapped his hands.
Not long after, the room was filled with beautiful women in ancient costumes.
Shang Yun looked at the girls around him and said with a smile, “Ladies, you must entertain Lord Lu well today. If he’s even the slightest bit unhappy today, then don’t even think about running your Drunken Cloud Brothel in the Imperial capital. After all, whether the Imperial City is in chaos or not is up to us, the Devil Slayers Division, to decide. You should understand what I’m saying, right?”
Upon hearing this, the girls’ expressions froze for a moment before they looked at Lu Yuan with even more fanatical gazes.
It was as if they could not wait to display all their methods and make Lu Yuan fall in love with the Drunken Cloud Brothel.
Faced with so many passionate gazes, Lu Yuan could not stand it any longer.
When Shang Yun saw Lu Yuan’s slightly stiff expression, he took the initiative to take on the task of livening up the atmosphere.
“Ladies, continue the music and dance!”
