Chapter 298 - 298 277 Everyone else get out

Chapter 298: Chapter 277 Everyone else, get out! Chapter 298: Chapter 277 Everyone else, get out! Tao Qingyuan left.

He left very swiftly. The day after a small banquet, he hurriedly departed from Nanling Prefecture, even without allowing Chen Yuan and Zhang Xuan to see him off.

After he left, Zhang Xuan, as the Green Envoy, officially took over, issuing several orders. Due to the previous incidents of extermination, no one dared to disobey.

Zhang Xuan’s name began to spread quickly within Nanling Prefecture.

At this time, Chen Yuan was also ready to leave, having handed over everything he could to Zhang Xuan and having recommended Wei Xin to him.

He also fully informed him about the properties in Qingshui County…

Within the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, not many were willing to follow Chen Yuan in pursuit of wealth and glory, only Mo Donghe and Yan Qing, while Yang Feng and others hesitated. Seeing this, Chen Yuan did not insist.

Yue Shan, however, after some struggle, also told Zhang Xuan he wished to leave with Chen Yuan.

Zhang Xuan laughed, saying that in just half a year, Chen Yuan had converted his right-hand man.

He wasn’t angry. His recent relationship with Chen Yuan was quite good, and he was willing to let Yue Shan, his effective subordinate, go with him. He even told Chen Yuan that Yue Shan had an extraordinary body,

and might accomplish something significant in the future.

Chen Yuan responded with a smile.

The other brothers of Zhao Beishan also succeeded in their breakthroughs one after another in the past few days, adding a very powerful force to Chen Yuan’s subordinates.

If counted, he now had seven Gang Condensing Martial Artists under him.

Oh, it’s worth mentioning that after sensing the general strength of Chen Yuan’s subordinates, Yan Qing worked hard to improve himself. Along with Chen Yuan’s help, he also successfully broke through his realm.

Besides that, several Ghost Children that Chen Yuan’s subordinates acquired from the old Blood Demon also grew in strength, with only a step away from the Gang Condensation Realm,

except for the last converted Ghost Wood Child, whose strength was slightly weaker.

Added together, this force was even stronger than the power of Shenxiao Hall, and even the Gold Mountain Monastery had only about five or six Gang Condensing Martial Artists.

With these people, no matter where, it would be much easier for Chen Yuan to establish himself.

Yue Shan’s cultivation also improved rapidly, reaching the peak of Qi Absorption along with Zhao Beishan, and was at any time ready to absorb the Evil Qi and step into the Condensing Evil Realm.

This matter was also taken to heart by Chen Yuan. He was preparing to go to Qingzhou City, and this was part of the reason why.

One day, after Chen Yuan finished his cultivation practice, Yue Shan hurriedly came to the back courtyard with Yan Qing and Zhao Beishan, seemingly having something to say.

Chen Yuan, who was drinking tea, frowned and asked,

“What’s got you all flustered?”

Yue Shan quickly stood straight, looking somewhat awkward, and said,

“My lord.”

“Speak.”

Yue Shan responded and hastily continued,

“Well, it’s not anything serious, it’s just… since we’re about to leave, I thought I’d take the North Mountain brothers out for some fun.”

“And then?”

Chen Yuan continued to inquire.

The former Yue Shan was quite serious, but since breaking through to the Gang Condensation Realm and no longer needing to maintain a celibate state, he had become somewhat unrestrained, showing quite the disposition of Wang Ping.

In his free time, he would enjoy listening to music…

Of course, he knew how to prioritize, and he never went to those places when there was business to take care of. Only when he couldn’t restrain his energetic blood, he would go to vent.

As far as he knew, Yue Shan would usually visit three to five times a month.

He had been to many, if not all, of the brothels in Nanling City.

So, upon hearing the words “have fun,” Chen Yuan knew it probably had something to do with brothels.

True to expectations, Yue Shan then said,

“My lord, do you remember Tingyu Pavilion in West City?”

Chen Yuan certainly remembered that place. It was at Tingyu Pavilion that he beheaded Bei Le, and in exchange, he obtained Phoenix Marrow Energy from Shen Yanshu.

After seeing Chen Yuan nod, Yue Shan continued,

“Today, when we went to Tingyu Pavilion, we heard that several top-quality girls had arrived, described as stunning beauties. I didn’t believe it initially, but after we spent dozens of silver to meet them, we found the rumors to be true.”

“The girls were quite aloof, not easily swayed by silver alone; one has to be exceptionally handsome too… So, it came to my mind, my lord…”

As he spoke, Yue Shan scratched his head, seeming a bit embarrassed.

“I’m not going.”

Before he could finish, Chen Yuan interrupted him directly.

“My lord, those girls are truly exceptional. It’s said they are still chaste. You gained fame at a young age and hold a high position, and it wouldn’t be unusual for you to have a few maids around. Why not bring them into your service?”

Yue Shan knew Chen Yuan’s temperament; unless it was a serious matter, he was quite gentle with them, or else he wouldn’t have been willing to follow Chen Yuan when leaving.

Moreover, their relationship had always been good, and privately, they never put on any airs.

“Indeed, my lord, you’ve been diligently practicing for so long, it’s only fair to relax a bit now and then. Didn’t you say before about balancing work with leisure?” Right on cue, Zhao Beishan chimed in as well.

But after he finished speaking, Chen Yuan’s brows tightened imperceptibly, narrowing his eyes, slowly sweeping over them.

Yue Shan had never been shy about inviting him before, but as soon as Chen Yuan refused, Yue Shan would wisely stop mentioning it. Zhao Beishan, who was usually reserved, would never interject on such topics.

Now…

Something seemed off.

After pondering for a moment and seeing that the two wanted to persuade him further, Chen Yuan stood up and said indifferently,

“Fine, I’ll go with you to have a look.”

As he spoke, he beckoned with one hand, and a strong force of suction emanated from his hand. The Yan Ling Saber that was hanging in the distance immediately fell into his hand.

These two individuals indeed seemed a bit odd; a visit was a must.

It appeared as though they were specifically targeting him.

He just hadn’t expected that, just as he was about to leave, a complication would arise instead.

With his current strength, there was really no need for him to hide; if the other party was no match for him, he would simply go and take their life, and if the other party was powerful,

hiding wouldn’t make much sense for him either…..

Moreover, after his battle with Fa Hai, Chen Yuan wasn’t overconfident but felt some assurance in his own life-preserving methods.

Another very important reason he agreed was that according to past experience, this matter was very likely related to Qi Fortune.

Seeing Chen Yuan fully armed, Yue Shan and the other remained unchanged. In their eyes, their lord had always acted in this manner.

Yue Shan led the way, taking roughly fifteen minutes, and several of them arrived at the familiar Tingyu Pavilion.

The establishment was full of customers. Since Chen Yuan and his group were dressed in ordinary clothes, their identities were not recognized. Instead, the savvy madam instantly fixed her gaze on Chen Yuan.

She remembered this god of slaughter’s face all too well.

The last time, Lord Bei Le was decapitated by Chen Yuan with a single stroke of a saber, and he even sat grandly in Tingyu Pavilion, waiting for Bei Haisheng to come and claim the body.

Afterward, it was even more incredible; it was said that this lord became even more powerful, now a big figure in Nanling Prefecture that nobody dared to provoke. Powerful forces like Gold Mountain Monastery and Dragon Tiger Sect, which seemed like heaven to them, had been destroyed by him.

Now, he had come to Tingyu Pavilion again, which made her heart thrum with foreboding.

But she dared not refuse to welcome him; if he burned Tingyu Pavilion in a fit of anger, where would she go to seek justice?

Thinking thus, she sashayed over to Chen Yuan’s group, covering her face with a fan and smiling:

“Oh my, such esteemed guests! Lord Chen, what leisure brings you to this place?”

“Cut the crap, you…”

Just as someone behind Chen Yuan was about to scold, Chen Yuan raised a hand to stop them, a faint smile on his face:

“Naturally, we came here for amusement. Hearing that Tingyu Pavilion had some fair maidens of unblemished background, I’ve come to take a look.”

“If anyone catches my eye, I might redeem one of them.”

“Oh, listen to you, Lord Chen. If you fancy any of them, it’s a fortune they couldn’t accumulate in several lifetimes. How could Tingyu Pavilion dare to take your silver?”

Chen Yuan said, “Alright, enough small talk. Can you bring them over for me to see?”

“Of course, Lord Chen, why don’t you and your guests wait in the private room for a moment, and I will bring the young ladies over right away.”

“That’s fine.”

Chen Yuan nodded, and then a young servant of Tingyu Pavilion guided them upstairs.

During this time, Chen Yuan discreetly activated his Heavenly Eye, scanning the surroundings. Unfortunately, he didn’t detect anything unusual, which caused him to frown slightly, wondering if he was overthinking it, or if the person was not within a hundred meters of his range?

The servant led Chen Yuan and his group into the best private room inside Tingyu Pavilion, where everything was first-class. Then, the servant closed the door and left.

Chen Yuan scanned the room and then sat down straight on a wooden stool. Yue Shan and the others stood behind him, exhibiting a somewhat fierce and menacing air.

Together with his attire, he truly looked like a wealthy young master.

After about a hundred breaths, the door was gently knocked twice, and the madam came in with a smile, bowed to Chen Yuan, and said, “Lord Chen, the young ladies have arrived.”

Watching the silhouettes flickering in the doorway, Chen Yuan tapped his fingers on the tabletop and said:

“Let them in.”

“Sure.” The madam waved her fan and smiled:

“Ladies, come and meet our renowned Lord Chen.”

“Yes.”

“Yes…”

Several agreeable responses came melodiously as they entered one after another from the doorway––four in total––adorned in silk, outlining their graceful figures.

All of them covered their faces with fans, lower their heads, and lined up in front of Chen Yuan.

It somewhat reminded him of scenes he had witnessed before.

After taking a glance over each of them, Chen Yuan asked:

“What are your names?”

The first woman from Qingzhou removed her fan, bowed, and said:

“This humble one is called Chun Mei.”

The second woman said, “This humble one is Xia Mei.”

The third woman stated, “This humble one is Qiu Mei.”

One would have thought the last would be called Dong Mei but, to their surprise, the woman in red gave Chen Yuan a suggestive look and said carefreely and unexpectedly:

“This one is called Wu Gang!”

The room fell into an eerie silence, as though all were struck by the odd and unique name. However, no one dared to say a word before Chen Yuan spoke.

Furrowing his brows, Chen Yuan knew this person must be the one who caused the change in Yue Shan and the others. His eyes flickered with a green light, but after a focused look, he showed a trace of shock.

Suppressing the surprise in his heart, Chen Yuan locked eyes with the woman in red for three breaths, then ordered Yue Shan, Zhao Beishan, and the madam:

“Wu Gang stays; everyone else, leave.”
