Apricot Alley, Xuanwu Street.
Li Mu and Shen Jia, led by Steward Wei, slowly walked into the House of Red Sleeves, which was located in the middle of Apricot Alley.
It was a brothel.
Shen Jia's face was so gloomy.
The entire Apricot Alley was full of brothels, a street of brothels in the Holy Land of Wulin. Those who ran businesses here basically had a strong background, and many big sects were involved. For example, the House of Red Sleeves in front of them was the business of the Pity Flower Palace, a big martial arts sect in the Northern Wilderness Region.
The Pity Flower Palace was mostly made up of female warriors, so they had a unique advantage in this aspect.
When Shen Jia thought of his sister's suffering, he felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.
"Yo, Steward Wei, what kind of wind has brought you out today?" A woman who seemed to be in her 40s came out to greet them. She was graceful and elegant, and she was also a warrior in the Five Realms. She was also a martial arts master.
"Madam Gao, I brought two distinguished guests here to see Miss Yao Yue. Please make the arrangements for them." Steward Wei was also a celebrity in the Sacred City, so she was familiar with Madam Gao of the House of Red Sleeves.
Madam Gao glanced at Li Mu and Shen Jia, and then her eyes fell on Li Mu, ignoring Shen Jia.
The eyes of this group of people were very sharp. She could immediately tell that this handsome young master in white robes was the real noble. She said, "This young master is obviously a noble with purple aura. Please … Steward Wei, we've received your message a long time ago. We've already prepared a good private room for you."
Led by Madam Gao, they went all the way through the Cabinet Corridor and went upstairs.
Li Mu looked at them, and it was also an eye-opener.
The girls in the House of Red Sleeves were all warriors. Among them, there were many who were both beautiful and skillful. Even the pimps who were escorting them were martial arts masters of the Fourth or Fifth Realm. However, they behaved like ordinary people and welcomed them calmly.
"Childe, Steward Wei, please."
Li Mu and the other two were sent to a private room.
The design of this private room was unique. It looked ordinary from the outside, but it was a completely different world inside. It was a spacious room with three rooms. There was not the slightest bit of charm or gentleness. Instead, it was simple and elegant. There were expensive ancient paintings hanging on the walls. There was also a famous zither, a tea table, and the four treasures of the study. It was more like the study of a calligraphy and painting master. It was elegant and unique, making people feel solemn in an instant.
Li Mu sat down and glanced at Shen Jia, who was uneasy and nervous. He said, "You need to calm down when you encounter problems."
Shen Jia focused his mind and ran the mental cultivation method of the Heavenly Dao Suppression on the spot, trying to calm himself down.
A moment later, footsteps could be heard.
Creak.
The door to the private room opened.
A whiff of fragrance wafted over.
Two maids in cyan robes walked in first. Behind them was a beautiful young lady who looked to be in her late twenties. Her skin was as white as jade, and her features were exquisite. She slowly walked in with graceful steps, swaying gracefully. Her eyes flickered as she glanced at the three people in the room. She bowed slightly in front of Li Mu and said, "Your servant is Yao Yue. Greetings to Young Master and Steward Wei."
Li Mu glanced at Steward Wei.
Steward Wei came to his senses and immediately rose to his feet. He winked at Madam Gao and then walked out of the private room with the two maids in cyan robes.
"Miss, please sit down."
Li Mu pointed to a chair on the side.
Yao Yue sat down hesitantly. She already felt that the atmosphere in the room did not seem to be quite right.
"Miss, can you be called Shen Xiaoyue? Are you from Qiushui Town? "Li Mu went straight to the point.
Yao Yue's expression suddenly changed. Her eyes, which had been gleaming, were full of vigilance and vigilance. She said, "Young Master, why do you ask these questions?"
Li Mu took a look and knew what was going on. He pointed at Shen Jia behind him and said, "Miss, take a closer look and see if you know him."
It was not until then that Yao Yue's attention was fixed on Shen Jia, who was standing behind Li Mu and was already trembling with tears in his eyes. After a few glances, her beautiful face suddenly turned pale and she sprang to her feet.
"Sister!"
Shen Jia could no longer control himself. He rushed over and hugged Yao Yue.
Yao Yue seemed to be petrified. She finally recognized that this seemingly valiant young man turned out to be her inexperienced younger brother. She hadn't seen him for more than a year, and he had become strong and grown up …
"Little Jia, how … how did you find this place?" Yao Yue asked in a trembling voice. She felt she was dreaming.
At first glance, Li Mu knew he had found the right person.
Looking at the siblings who were immersed in the great excitement of reuniting with each other after a long time, Li Mu did not say anything. He just got up and left the private room.
Outside the door, Madam Gao and Steward Wei were waiting.
Seeing Li Mu come out, the two gave him a rather strange look, but of course, it was not appropriate for them to ask anything.
Li Mu said, "I'm going to redeem Miss Yao Yue. Madam Gao, please arrange it."
"Redeem?" Madam Gao was very surprised.
Li Mu said, "What? Can't a girl from the House of Red Sleeves be redeemed? "
Madam Gao said, "That's not true. It's just that Miss Yao Yue's situation is a little special. She was brought back by the Palace Master in person, so this matter has to be approved by the Palace Master."
The House of Red Sleeves was the property of the Mercy Flower Palace. Naturally, everything was decided by the Palace Master.
Li Mu said, "Then please ask Madam Gao to ask her."
Madam Gao glanced at Steward Wei, who also nodded and said, "Okay. Young Master, please wait a moment. I'll send someone to ask her."
She ordered another table in the private room and ordered the servants to prepare wine and dishes to entertain Li Mu and Steward Wei. Then, she went to redeem Yao Yue.
The private room was near the window, from which people could see the streets outside. The night was dark, and the lights were bright. In the attic opposite, a gorgeous young woman was smiling and greeting the passers-by, soliciting business.
It was a scene of prosperity.
"This time, thank you very much, Steward Wei. You helped my disciple. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me at any time." Li Mu raised his hand and toasted.
Steward Wei said, "I was just a kid. Young Master Li, you don't have to be so polite."
The relationship between the two was an employer, so there was no special topic. Li Mu asked a few questions about the current situation in the Sacred City.
Steward Wei answered him fluently.
Suddenly, there was a hubbub downstairs.
Very soon, the sound of footsteps going up the stairs rose, and a few martial artists who were dressed in extraordinary clothes and had quite an imposing presence rushed up. The two maidservants in green with low-cut breasts followed behind them in a hurry. They tried to explain something carefully, but they were very rudely pushed away.
Li Mu frowned.
"I don't care who Yao Yue is accompanying. Ask her to get out of here. As an elder of the Red God Sect, do I have to wait here?"
The man in the lead had long red hair standing up, like the cartoon character Red Ball of Two Harmonies in the King of Fighters. He looked arrogant and domineering, and there was a strong smell of alcohol on him. Obviously, he had drunk too much. The three subordinates following behind him were also martial arts masters with sabers and swords hanging in their hands. They looked fierce.
Trouble was coming.
Li Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
This kind of thing happened again.
The elder of the Red God Sect had already raised his hand to push open the door of the private room. Just as Li Mu was about to make a move, a middle-aged man dressed like a pimp rushed from behind. His speed was extremely fast. In a flash, he was already in front of the elder of the Red God Sect. Then, he stretched out his hand and grasped the wrist of the elder of the Red God Sect. Then, he said calmly, "Elder Xu, our House of Red Sleeves has its own rules.
"Rules? Haha, money is the rule here. I will pay ten times the price … "Elder Xu burst into laughter.
The middle-aged pimp said calmly, "In that case, I have to ask Elder Xu to sober up first … Please."
After saying that, he immediately made his move. It seemed to be some kind of acupoint sealing technique, sealing the acupoints of the Elder of the Crimson God Church and his three followers. Then, a few guards came and carried them away.
Just like that, the disturbance was resolved.
Watching the whole process, Li Mu was quite surprised. Nothing could be accomplished without rules. The House of Red Sleeves was really good in this respect. No wonder it was the best brothel in the entire Apricot Blossom Street.
The middle-aged pimp who had attacked at the last moment was at least Level Six. In the outside world, he would definitely be a great expert. Back then, Li Zhiyuan was known as one of the top ten experts of the younger generation in the Northern Wilderness Region, but he was only at Level Six. From this, it could be seen that the so-called younger generation was not worth much. True experts were usually older, more experienced, and more powerful. Moreover, most of the time, they did not reveal themselves.
Since coming to the Sacred City, Li Mu deeply felt the rich commercial atmosphere in this giant city. The development of the service industry was even comparable to that on Earth.
A moment later, the door of the private room was opened.
It was Yao Yue, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying. She came to thank Li Mu with her brother Shen Jia.
She had calmed down a lot.
To a young girl, she was first captured and brought to the Heavenly Dragon Castle, then sold to a brothel. Her fate had sunk, and she was stuck in a quagmire. However, the reason why she kept on living was because of this little brother of hers. Even if it was a mountain of blades or a sea of flames, she would persevere. Before she died, she had to see her little brother one last time. And today, her wish was finally fulfilled.
Shen Jia was very grateful to Li Mu.
"Well, Xiao Jia, accompany my sister to pack up. I've already redeemed her. You don't have to be separated from each other anymore," said Li Mu.
The sister and brother were overjoyed. They both knelt in front of Li Mu and thanked him profusely.
The sufferings of life would eventually pass. Was the sweetness after suffering?
In their eyes, Li Mu was simply a god who came to save them.
At this time, Mrs. Gao came back in a hurry.
Li Mu looked at her.
Mrs. Gao's face was not very good. "Young Master, something unexpected happened. The Palace Master refused your request. Miss Yao Yue must stay in the House of Red Sleeves. She can't go with you."
"Ah …" Yao Yue's face paled and she cried out.
Shen Jia jumped to his feet, looking excited. He was usually as calm as ice, but when it came to things related to his sister, he was like a volcano that was about to erupt.
Li Mu signaled Shen Jia to calm down and then asked calmly, "Oh, what's the reason?"
Mrs. Gao said, "I don't know. The Palace Master never explains anything to us. Her will is superior and cannot be violated. Young Master, if you like Miss Yao Yue, you can come to the House of Red Sleeves more often. I'm sorry I can't help you with other things."
Li Mu smiled, turned to Steward Wei, and said, "You go first."
Steward Wei was very smart. He instantly knew what Li Mu was thinking. After a little hesitation, he stood up, cupped his hands, and left.
Mrs. Gao was a little puzzled.
