Lin Xuan Qi glanced over at Yue Xin and said, "Get me some of those gift boxes."
The gift boxes would come in handy to ramp up demand for the soap and Lin Clan Taste Transcendent Essence.
And after Yue Xin handed over some of the gift boxes, he bid them farewell.
"Donāt wander around too much and stay with the guards." He said while he got onto the horse carriage of Huo Fei Li.
Liu Shi Shi nodded her head and assured him, "I will take care of them."
He waved at them and with the crack of the whip, the horses began trotting away.
Leaving Yue Xin and Liu Shi Shi in the new house to settle in.
"Brother Xuan Qi, where do you find all the vitality to do so much as a mortal?
"Even I as a cultivator canāt be so active." Huo Fei Li said with a grin.
The imagery of Lin Xuan Qi with Yue Xin and Liu Shi Shi, in the morning after, came into his mind.
Sima Long who was also in the horse carriage thumped his chest and said, "I told you that the manuscripts like āNine Heavens Dragon Styleā and āLotus Spiral Stancesā I gave you earlier worked."
He said smugly, thinking that Lin Xuan Qi had used the stances recorded within.
Lin Xuan Qi shook his head at Sima Long and said, "I dare you to try using it later on some pretty courtesan."
"Heh. Iām just saying, reminiscing the good old days." Sima Long slapped the back of his head and said, "Now, my heart, body and soul is only reserved for my pretty and capable wife."
Huo Fei Li glanced at Sima Long with admiration and said, "Itās so rare for someone to declare their love for their wife openly.
"Brother Sima Long is my role model indeed.
"Of course, thereās also Brother Xuan Qi.
"His ability to balance his wife, concubine and tong fang servant girl so well is so rare."
Their conversation gave Lin Xuan Qi goosebumps.
He wanted to roll his eyes so badly at them but stopped himself.
Lin Xuan Qi changed the topic next and asked, "So, where are we going and who are we meeting later?"
Huo Fei Li gave him a smirk and said, "Iāve asked the young masters I know, most of whom are heirs like myself to their businesses.
"Iām sure you would be interested to get to know them.
"Oh, thereās also someone special who is interested to meet you for your poetry.
"Best if you are ready for it."
Lin Xuan Qi nodded his head at Huo Fei Li and pondered for a moment.
The young masters were most likely those who would be able to help in his businesses, but for the someone special he didnāt have a clue.
He could only think of a few poems from the Tang and Song classics first, just in case it would be needed later.
The subsequent journey wasnāt too long and they arrived at a building with red lanterns hanging by its wall, and young women standing outside waving at passersby.
Three words hung on the entrance, āYi Hong Louā.
Chatters and laughter erupting inside the building could be heard.
It was a bustling scene even in the afternoon.
"Aiyoh. Itās young master Huo Fei Li, welcome." A middle-aged woman with a heavy scent of alcohol came over and welcomed them.
"Iām here to have a drink with master Heng and the others." Huo Fei Li replied.
The middle-aged woman gave him the widest smile she could muster and said, "Come in please, master Heng had been waiting for a very long time."
She led them into Yi Hong Lou and Sima Long glanced around with excitement.
The dƩcor was like nothing he had seen before in Hong Feng City.
Everything was lavish with silk, gold and silver embroidered all over the building.
"Look, Brother Xuan Qi." He nudged Lin Xuan Qi when he saw a man with seven women dancing around him.
That was not all.
When he saw a man stumble into a room and a shout ensued, he knew that something was going on.
"Get ready for a show." He pointed at the room and said.
And he was right.
Another man and woman chased the poor guy out from inside the room, and the three of them entangled together.
Sima Long was rediscovering his old habits and felt right at home.
"Donāt worry about it, it will be under control soon." The middle-aged woman said, and it didnāt take long for burly men to come out and control the situation.
The chatters and laughter continued after that.
Lin Xuan Qi snorted and shook his head at the extravagance and messiness of it.
They were led to a private room that was away from the chaos, and they stopped at the entrance.
"Here we are, Master Heng and the other young masters are waiting inside." The middle-aged woman bowed at Huo Fei Li and left.
Huo Fei Li opened the door and stepped inside.
Sima Long and Lin Xuan Qi followed closely behind.
When they entered, the courtesan who was dancing in the middle of the room stopped.
The band who was playing also stopped immediately.
Everyone in the room glanced over at Lin Xuan Qi, Huo Fei Li and Sima Long.
Someone who was seated nearest to the courtesan stood up and said, "Brother Fei Li, what took you so long? Our guest was getting impatient."
Huo Fei Li cupped his hands and said, "Brother Heng, I was bringing my friends here around in the city, as a good host should be."
"Itās great to see you again after so long." Heng said and the other guests nodded their heads.
"If I were to meet with your assailant, I would avenge you." One of the men in the room said and the others nodded their heads.
"My eagle claws will shred him into pieces."
"Hmph. One blow from my thunder punch would do the trick."
"Are you sure? I heard youāve lost a match to one of the ladies from the Lian Hua Sect."
They spoke as if they were more than ready to face the Dark Lord.
