Wu Muyu looked at Su Wen and said with a smile, “Sister Yan is a general, so she naturally kills countless people. She’s unlike other people, who have not even killed a chicken since young.”

“Eh?”

Why did this sound like she was trying to make herself seem very pure and innocent compared to Yan Luoying?

Su Wen looked at the beautiful Wu Muyu in front of him and stroked his chin. Hmm yes, she definitely looked quite pure and innocent.

The two of them chatted as they ate.

The topic also touched on Xie Dajia. After all, in the capital’s upper-class circle, there was a lot of fanfare on Honorable Xie and her performances.

Wu Muyu said regretfully, “It’s a pity that I didn’t manage to get a ticket for Xie Dajia’s performance. I didn’t want to trouble my father, so I think I won’t be able to listen to her perform this time round.”

Su Wen smiled and said, “I don’t think that’s necessary. I heard that the zither performance of Xie Dajia is actually just average.”

Wu Muyu pursed his lips and said, “Liar. Everyone says that Xie Dajia is known for her stunning recitals!”

At this moment, Su Wen recalled that the Second Prince had mentioned before that he could bring in a few others to attend Honorable Xie’s concert with him. (TL Note: Ch. 49)

Thus, he said, “If you really want to take a look, I’ll let the Second Prince know. I heard that Xie Dajia has given the royal family a special quota. Every prince can bring three people with him. The Second Prince had only mentioned that he wants to bring me and Zhao Rui along. Coincidentally, there’s still one quota left, so let’s go together.”

Wu Muyu smiled. “If that’s the case, then I’ll have to thank Brother Su.”

After eating the fried vermicelli, Su Wen left some money behind and left with Zhao Jin.

In Cloud Gazing Tower, one of the capital’s upper class pavilions, Honorable Xie stood on the highest floor with a zither behind her.

A veiled woman stood behind her.

“Have you taken the Cultivation Dispersion Pill?” asked Xie Dajia.

“I’ve consumed it. 80% of my power has already dissipated! In another four hours, my cultivation will completely disperse.” The woman’s voice was somewhat bitter.

Xie Dajia turned to look at the woman and said in a low voice, “Don’t blame Mother for being ruthless. Our Demonic Music Sect is currently facing both internal and external threats. If we want to develop our sect, we’ll need external forces to intervene, such as the Great Zhou royal family which is unparalleled.

I have already invited all the princes. At that time, no matter which prince takes a fancy to you, you can bewitch them with your demonic charm to make them work for us. Although the Cultivation Dispersion Pill will disperse all the energy in your body, it will help you achieve a body of charm that no man can resist.”

At this point, she sighed and said, “The Martial Inspectorate’s people are already setting up a trap outside. If you don’t disperse all of your power, you will never be able to get close to these princes. Only by completely dispersing all of your cultivation will you have a chance of becoming a prince’s concubine.

Don’t worry, no matter which prince you follow, once my Demonic Music Sect becomes powerful, we will definitely help them ascend to the throne. At that time, you will be able to enjoy the world’s glory and splendor.”

At this point, her eyes flashed with excitement. “Furthermore, think about it. If your future son is willing to become the Emperor of Great Zhou and rule over the world, at that time, our Sect will be able to borrow the power of the royal family to become the strongest sect in the world. How wonderful would it be if we could achieve this?”

Looking at her mother, Xie Yiyi sighed inwardly.

She did not understand why her mother was so obsessed with reviving the Demonic Music Sect and gaining power.

To her, she wanted to maintain her current life more.

Unfortunately, things seldom go in the way of one’s wishes.

She knew very well that she had no room to resist.

Marry a prince, become an empress, become the mother of the world?

Maybe, this was also a pretty good option.

Xie Yiyi accepted her fate.

However, no one knew if they could even succeed.

On the other side, the Eastern District’s patrolling area had fallen into a state of peace ever since Wen Jinming died.

Everyone became really obedient.

It seemed as though the area had reverted back to normalcy.

At the same time, Yan Luoying finally heaved a sigh of relief.

It was getting dark when she emerged from the Patrol Office and made her way home. She had almost reached her residence when she saw a guard carrying a struggling beggar on the street.

“You brat! Stop struggling, do you believe I’ll beat you up?”

The beggar wailed, “Don’t catch me, I’m not going to your Young Craftsman Camp!”

The guard slapped him and angrily said, “Brat, don’t be so shameless. Do you believe I won’t care even if I beat you to death?”

Yan Luoying couldn’t help but step forward and shout, “Stop! What are you doing!”

The guard looked at Yan Luoying and frowned. “Who are you?”

“Yan Luoying, Eastern District Patrol Office Commander!”

While Yan Luoying’s position may not be high, she was an existence that ordinary guards could not afford to offend.

The guard hurriedly bowed, “Greetings, Lady Yan.”

Yan Luoying frowned. “Why do you want to catch this child?”

“Under the benevolence of His Majesty, a new juvenile artisan camp has been built to gather all the young beggars in the capital. They will be provided with daily necessities, and be educated on the skills of an artisan. After their craftsmanship is completed, they will be sent to various places to craft for the country!”

The moment the guard finished speaking, the beggar shouted, “I’m not going! I’m not learning! I can get food every day, why should I go to your place to learn craftsmanship?”

When she heard this, Yan Luoying felt a chill in her heart. It was really just like how Su Wen had described things to her. Once they were accustomed to receiving things the moment they stretched out their hands, they would naturally become useless.

“Take him away!” Yan Luoying sighed and said in a low voice.

She knew that she could not interfere in this matter.

As for the child being beaten up, there was no such thing as not being able to beat a child in this era. That guard did not go all out either.

Inside her residence, Yan Luoying felt a little depressed as she sat down.

However, she admired Emperor Zhou even more.

He was indeed a good emperor.

At the very least, he still wanted to do something for these beggars.

At that moment, Old Zhou walked over and smiled. “Miss, why? Are you unhappy?”

After Yan Luoying told him about the incident, he sighed and said, “Although I know that this is a good thing, I feel a little disappointed when I see that child trying to hide. I even suspect if I did the right thing a few days ago.”

Old Zhou said with a smile, “It’s always good for Miss to do good deeds. After all, in this cold winter, if one can’t get food, they might lose their life. However, His Majesty is indeed benevolent, coming out with such a policy. Whilst helping these children, they can also obtain a skill. In the future, they can rely on their craftsmanship to make a living. You can also nurture many craftsmen for Great Zhou. It can be said that this can kill three birds with one stone.”

“That’s right. His Majesty cares for the common people. He is indeed a wise ruler!”

Yan Luoying praised.

“Miss, there’s something I want to tell you to make you happy. Haven’t you been nagging about wanting to go and listen to Xie Dajia playing the zither these past few days? I managed to persuade my old friend in the capital and got a ticket. This thing is in high demand now. I’ve exhausted a lot of my connections just to obtain this!”

“Really?!” Yan Luoying was pleasantly surprised when she heard this.

After Su Wen’s wealth competition, Honorable Xie’s reputation spread even further in the capital.

The sound of the zither that was like the sound of nature seemed extremely magical in the eyes of the public.

Entertainment methods were scarce in this era, and coincidentally, Yan Luoying also liked music.

After hearing that, she couldn’t help but be curious and brought it up a few times. She didn’t expect Old Zhou to quietly settle this matter!

“Haha, Uncle Zhou, I knew you were the best!”

Yan Luoying smiled like a child.. Compared to her usual sternness, she revealed her true nature at this moment.
