The Tower
Although he had absolute confidence in his own strength, he did not want to be a fool with fists and no brains. He only made up nonsense about Qian Rongzhi's various inquiries. (7*
The banquet ended and everyone dispersed.
At the highest point of the mountain, in the Black Eagle Commander's personal pavilion.
Zhuo Zhibo asked, "How was the investigation? What is the relationship between that brat and Commander Gu? "
Qian Rongzhi sat on Zhuo Zhibo's lap and gritted her teeth. "That brat kept beating around the bush and refused to tell the truth." As Li Qingshan expected, Qian Rongzhi had formed a relationship with Zhuo Zhibo during the three days she was on the mountain.
Zhuo Zhibo said, "Then wait and see. I will figure it out. If he is really valued by that person, then you can forget about taking revenge."
Qian Rongzhi suppressed her hatred and extended her index finger to touch Zhuo Zhibo's face. She smiled charmingly. "My grievances are nothing. It's not like I have enough brothers and sisters to die off. What matters is your dignity, great commander Zhuo. You only have one face. You've seen that kid's attitude today."
Zhuo Zhibo said, "If that person is really standing behind him, then it doesn't matter if he tramples on my face. If not, hmph!" He slapped Qian Rongzhi's butt hard. "You don't have to provoke me. Even if he is really valued by that person, I have a way to deal with him now. Even if he is a genius, I can still turn him into a useless person. Let's see if anyone will still take him seriously then."
Qian Rongzhi grumbled coquettishly and wriggled about in Zhuo Zhibo's arms, which made his lust rise. Then he asked in confusion, "Since you don't mind him killing your elder brother, why are you so obsessed with revenge?"
Qian Rongzhi said, "Because he looks down on me. Everyone who looks down on me has to pay the price."
If Li Qingshan was here, he would definitely be dumbfounded. Not only did his attitude not attract the love of a beauty like the rumors said, but it also attracted deep hatred. It seemed that rumors were just rumors.
Zhuo Zhibo took a deep look at Qian Rongzhi and did not comment. At his age, he had played with many women, but female Qi Practitioners were rare. Even if there were, they were not necessarily beautiful. Therefore, the first time he saw Qian Rongzhi, he had an idea, and Qian Rongzhi also wanted to take the opportunity to rise up. As the saying goes, after a while, it became adultery. His body had already started to weaken, and it was impossible for him to make any progress in Qi training. All kinds of enjoyment were the first priority.
Qian Rongzhi said, "I heard that those who train their bodies are relatively strong." That single sentence triggered Zhuo Zhibo's bestial nature, and he threw himself at Qian Rongzhi. "I'll let you taste my power today." Qian Rongzhi giggled. The room fell into chaos.
Li Qingshan was currently submerged in a sea of books. The library of the Hawkwolf Guard contained all sorts of martial arts manuals, allowing him to browse through them freely. There were all sorts of martial arts manuals, kicks, blades, and swords. Many of them could lead to conflict in the jianghu, yet they were like trash here, placed casually. There was only an old man watching over them.
However, Li Qingshan failed to find any cultivation methods for Qi Practitioners. Just when he wanted to go to the second floor, he was stopped by the old man. "Two hours, ten points of contribution. No credit."
Li Qingshan could only give up. Even though they were just martial arts manuals, they gave him quite a lot of inspiration. He read through them for two hours, but he was afraid that Little Ann would worry, so he Just Now, he returned to the residence.
Afterwards, he continued with his rather dull cultivation, eating pills, and practising qi.
However, as soon as night fell, Ge Jian knocked on Li Qingshan's door and said mysteriously, "I'll take you to a good place." He even specially told him to change his clothes and stash his blade away.
Don't tell me he's trying to harm me? That was what Li Qingshan thought, but he agreed immediately. What would come would come eventually. All he had to do was raise his vigilance. At most, he would just kill to his heart's content. He told Ge Jian to wait for a moment and returned to his room with Little Ann.
Arriving at the gateway at the bottom of the mountain, he discovered that Diao Fei was already waiting there.
Li Qingshan asked in confusion, "Where are we going?" Surely he did not want to kill Diao Fei as well.
Diao Fei said, "Brother Ge said he'd take us on a stroll around the night scenery of Jiaping city. Oh right, why aren't you bringing Qian Rongzhi?"
"Places like that aren't suitable for women." Ge Jian revealed a smile that all men understood.
Li Qingshan and Diao Fei looked at each other, neither saying anything. This kind of thing was not easy to refuse in the first place, not to mention that it came from the good intentions of a colleague. Li Qingshan considered himself a "man who drank with women", so he did not take it too seriously.
Ge Jian couldn't help but smile when he saw the two's attitudes. He then remembered Zhuo Zhibo's instructions: Regardless of the cost, they had to take Li Qingshan to have fun, to have fun to their heart's content. The more fun they had, the better. It would be best if all cultivation and training were cast aside.
Li Qingshan still did not know that Zhuo Zhibo had already begun to deal with him in a different way. There was no need to fight or kill to destroy a person. Many times, sugar-coated bullets were even more frightening than torture. Extravagance and debauchery could easily obliterate a person's will, causing them to wallow in their most instinctive pleasures.
In Zhuo Zhibo's opinion, Li Qingshan was just a wild kid from the mountains. How could he resist this temptation? Even if Li Qingshan really did catch Gu Yanying's eye, it was not Zhuo Zhibo's fault. He could only blame Li Qingshan for being useless. This was an insidious move he had come up with based on his deep understanding of human nature. It was silent, yet it penetrated deep into the bones.
Jiaping city was lit up with lanterns. Even at night, it was still brightly lit. It was very different from the small city of Qingyang, which made Li Qingshan think of the large cities from his past life. Under Ge Jian's enthusiastic greeting, the three of them merged into the light, entering the most dazzling and prosperous place.
Building.
This did not seem like the name of a brothel, but it was not just a brothel. It was the largest and most luxurious brothel in a radius of several hundred kilometers.
From various perspectives, this was the grandest building Li Qingshan had ever seen in this world. It was a towering building in the shape of a pagoda, reaching seven storeys in height. It was so brightly lit that it seemed like it was burning.
Large streams of people moved through the entrance, which was hung with large red lanterns. It was even busier than a market.
Before they had even entered, a steaming, exotic fragrance assaulted their noses. Li Qingshan shrugged. "It's just a brothel." Although it was a little luxurious, it still paled in comparison to the skyscrapers and neon lights of his past life.
Ge Jian said mysteriously, "You'll know once you go in. This isn't a regular brothel."
Before the three of them had even entered, a person came out. He had been tossed out from the third floor, landing on the ground like a sack.
A murder case? Li Qingshan shivered inside. From a certain perspective, the Hawkwolf Guard was the police of this world. He never thought he would encounter a case as soon as he took up his post. However, when he looked at the passersby in the surroundings, apart from being surprised in the beginning, they all went about their own business as if nothing had happened.
Then he looked at the person on the ground. He actually stood up with a groan, rubbing his waist as he cursed aloud. An even louder curse rang out from upstairs, "What gang leader or branch leader? If you don't have any money, piss off. If you don't piss off, I'll cripple you of your martial arts and leave you as a pimp."
The man who had been tossed out of the building was actually a first-rate master, which was why he was unscathed. However, just how skilled was he to toss out a first-rate master so casually?
The man seemed to be stunned by the voice. He cursed a few more times before merging into the stream of people as if nothing had happened at all.
Ge Jian said, "Even the Hawkwolf Guard has to pay if you want to play here. It's best if you don't cause any trouble."
Li Qingshan said, "It's just a brothel. How can they be so arrogant?"
Diao Fei said, "The sect is a renowned sect in the Clear River prefecture. They're skilled in dual cultivation, and they've set up brothels in various major cities. This is only one of them. However, this is the first time I've come here."
Ge Jian smiled. "Diao Fei sure is knowledgeable. Qingshan, you should know what dual cultivation is, right?"
"Isn't it just doing that?" Li Qingshan truly felt like his horizons had been broadened. So be it the violent organization and the government formed by Qi Practitioners, but there were actually brothels run by Qi Practitioners. He could not help but lower his opinion of the three words "Qi Practitioners" a little.
Ge Jian said, "Dual cultivation is the same as external pills and ingestion. They're both extremely ancient daoist techniques that focus on the harmony of yin and yang. However, you're not wrong. It's doing that, which is the art of intercourse. Think about it, a sect that specialises in intercourse and teaches a girl …"
Li Qingshan grinned. "Don't tell me they want to harvest yang to replenish their yin!" Did Zhuo Zhibo want him to die on a woman's belly? That would be far too much of a joke.
Ge Jian broke into laughter. "How can that be? If that's the case, why would there still be so many people? Anyway, you'll know once you try."
Li Qingshan shook his head. "Forget it." He did not think that this was a good place.
Diao Fei also wanted to back out. If it was an ordinary brothel, then it would be fine. He had heard many rumors about brothels. No matter when, seeking pleasure was not beneficial to the cultivation of Qi Practitioners.
Ge Jian moved his lips and tongue, talking non-stop. "Qi Refinement is so hard, shouldn't you reward yourself?" "Only by striking a balance between work and rest can one's cultivation be beneficial. It's fine to do it once or twice." "If you're a man, then don't be so hesitant. Have a good time. As a man, why would he be afraid of a few women?"
He diligently played the role of the most common person in the world, a hypocrite with a honeyed mouth and a dagger in his heart. A vicious friend was more terrifying than an outstanding enemy.
He persuaded, encouraged, and half-dragged the two of them into the brothel. The roar of voices filled the air. Many men and women were hugging each other in disheveled clothing. It was a scene of revelry and bliss. In this strange atmosphere, everyone had no scruples, releasing themselves to their heart's content. It was like the legendary pool of wine and forest of flesh. Even Li Qingshan, a transmigrator from the modern era, was a little dumbfounded.
"Uncle Ge, you've made the ladies wait for a long time. The room you booked is the first room in the sky. Please come upstairs!" A fat woman with heavy makeup came up to greet them. When she saw Li Qingshan and Diao Fei, she said, "Hey, these two little brothers, you look unfamiliar."
Li Qingshan saw that the lady boss's body was also flowing with true energy. She was a Qi Practitioner.
