There wasn’t any difference with the way Senior Compiler Wang interacted with him these days, but Junior Compiler Cen was always sneaking around and avoiding him.

"Don’t slander me!" Junior Compiler Cen said furiously!

Xiao Liulang said calmly, "Did you also spread the rumor about the brothel?"

Junior Compiler Cen's face turned white, "You, you, you... Don't talk nonsense! Stop framing me! What rumor about the brothel? I have never heard of it!"

Xiao Liulang's expression remained unchanged, "Lord Han said it was you."

"I..." Junior Compiler Cen suddenly froze.

He didn't dare to confront Lord Han about this.

Xiao Liulang got the answer when he looked into his eyes. He glanced at Junior Compiler Cen faintly and said, "Junior Compiler Cen, spend more time on your job instead of making up and spreading rumors."

After that, he continued to ignore him, passed him by and walked away.

Having been reprimanded by a country bumpkin, Junior Compiler Cen was indignant. He turned around and called out to him, saying, "Am I making up rumors? What rumor did I make? Did you not have a private meeting with a woman from Heavenly Music House yesterday? How shameless of you to have a private affair in public!”

"Woman from Heavenly Music House?" Xiao Liulang stopped and looked back at Junior Compiler Cen oddly, "What is Heavenly Music House?"

Heavenly Music House was a brothel that had only emerged in the last three years, but it had already achieved the leading position in the industry, even suppressing the Soft Jade Pavillion.

Junior Compiler Cen was in a panic and scolded himself for having a slip of the tongue.

But it didn’t make sense when he thought about it.

Why did he talk to those two ladies if he didn't know they belonged to Heavenly Music House?

It was obvious that they were having an illicit affair!

Junior Compiler Cen didn't know that the two ladies from yesterday simply asked Xiao Liulang for directions without mentioning their origins at all.

Xiao Liulang didn't even remember this matter, thus the two passers-by never crossed his mind at this moment.

Xiao Liulang cast Junior Compiler Cen an odd look, stopped talking nonsense with him and headed back to his office.

Junior Compiler Cen carefully took out a wooden token coated with red lacquer.

There were three words printed on the red-lacquered wooden token— Heavenly Music House.

The two ladies left it by accident. Junior Compiler Cen went over and picked it up, otherwise he would not have known that they were from the Heavenly Music House.

How could a poor guy like Xiao Liulang have any connection with the famous Heavenly Music House?

This made Junior Compiler Cen jealous.

He intended to hand this token over as evidence that Xiao Liulang was visiting a brothel, but he was reluctant to part with it.

After duty hours were over, Junior Compiler Cen took the token and went to Heavenly Music House.

Heavenly Music House was situated southeast of Brisk Wind Tower, only a hundred steps away on foot.

It was known for being the land of celestial fairies, not only because it was decorated like a celestial palace, but also because every lady in it looked like a celestial fairy.

And their top courtesan was also known as Chang'e, the lady in the moon.

Junior Compiler Cen changed his official uniform in the carriage and put on a navy brocade clothing.

He was about the same age as Ning Zhiyuan, also in his early thirties. He was in his prime years, and he possessed a much better appearance than Ning Zhiyuan, belonging to the upper middle class handsome men.

Heavenly Music House was a kind of place that not just anyone could enter even with money. It wasn’t that they didn’t accept money, but that money alone wasn’t enough.

Junior Compiler Cen handed the token to the female guard at the door with a “let’s try it” mentality.

Who knew he would really be able to get in!

Leading the way for him was a girl as pretty as the moon.

The girl smiled sweetly and said, "So it's Sister Qianxue's distinguished guest. Please proceed to that room!"

Junior Compiler Cen was flattered.

He looked at the girl in front of him and couldn't help laughing. "It turns out that the rumors are true. The ladies here are really beautiful!"

The girl laughed when she heard this, "I'm not a lady of this building, I'm just a servant girl."

"Ah..." Junior Compiler Cen was shocked.

Just a mere servant girl was already this beautiful, then what more the courtesans of this place——

Just as his mind turned, he heard the servant girl who led the way for him greeted with a smile, "Miss Lanxin."

When Junior Compiler Cen heard this, he looked up and saw a beautiful woman dressed in purple slowly descended from the steps. Her figure seemed suffused with a purple glow as her skirt slid past the wooden steps. She had a clear and outstanding posture and a smile brimming with radiance.

Junior Compiler Cen felt his soul being sucked away!

He held onto the handrail of the stairs and nearly fell to his knees as his legs softened!

"Dexing!" The young lady called Miss Lanxin went downstairs with a sneer.

There was an endless coquetry within her cold smile, but it was charming and not at all vulgar, making people’s blood boil with excitement.

The servant girl, "Gentleman, please!"

The servant girl took Junior Compiler Cen to a room upstairs, "Miss Qianxue, your guest has arrived."

"Please come in."

A voice that sounded like heavenly music came from inside, it was indescribably ethereal.

Junior Compiler Cen felt soft all over only by hearing her voice.

He didn't know how he got into the room, and when he realized it, the door was already closed.

It was the woman he saw yesterday. The woman took the token that she had lost, and raised her hand to remove the veil from her face.

Junior Compiler Cen almost stopped breathing after just one look.

What did a celestial fairy look like?

This was it. A genuine moon fairy of the nine celestial palaces!

As a profoundly learned and talented Junior Compiler of Hanlin Academy, he could not find a suitable word to describe the beauty of the woman in front of him.

"You are?" When the woman saw the face of Junior Compiler Cen, her eyes turned cold and she put the veil back on her face.

Junior Compiler Cen came back to his senses, thinking that the other party was asking about his origin. He bowed and said, "This one is Cen Guangjie, greetings to Miss Qianxue!"

The woman smiled and asked, "How did the token get in your hands?"

Junior Compiler Cen was fascinated by her smile, his heart was pounding, and his face was flushed. He answered, "Miss seems to have lost her token and I accidentally picked it up. I recognized it as the token of the Heavenly Music House, so I sent it here."

"Ah, you found it yourself?" The woman smiled slightly, "Did anyone else see it?"

Junior Compiler Cen shook his head and said, "No."

The woman bowed her head and smilingly said, "Why trouble yourself to deliver it personally? I’m sorry for inconveniencing you."

Junior Compiler Cen said sheepishly, "It's no big deal, it's nothing to worry about."

The woman kept her smile as she said, "But you saw my face, which is enough of a worry."

"Huh?" Junior Compiler Cen was confused.

However, before he could react further, the woman’s demeanor suddenly turned cold and she said, "Drag him out and get rid of him!"

Junior Compiler Cen trembled all over!

"Miss—"

He wasn’t able to finish his words.

A man in black gagged his mouth and dragged him out like a sack.

"Gross!" The woman threw the token in her hand to the ground in disgust.

Her personal servant girl rushed to fetch the water in a copper basin, "Miss."

The woman dipped the hand that touched the token into the water and said angrily, "So annoying! So annoying! What a hideous stinky man! Why didn't he pick it up?! Why did he let others pick it up!?"

The personal servant girl echoed with a sigh, "That’s right, what a waste of miss’s good intentions. To think he just turned a blind eye and let others take advantage of the token that miss deliberately dropped for him!"
