The New Moon Brothel was so tall that it could reach the sky. It was brightly lit, and the sound of stringed instruments could be heard from time to time, echoing in the night sky of Chong Ming Town like a heavenly palace.
Chu Li and Xue Ling left the Public House in the sunset. They went to the Sky Inn for dinner and enjoyed the delicacies there before entering the New Moon Brothel.
The architectural style of the New Moon Brothel was a circular building with a stage in the middle for performing songs and dances.
The first floor was the main hall. The space between the tables was very spacious, and they were all arranged according to the railings on the first floor. People could sit at the tables and watch the performance in the middle of the stage.
The second floor was covered by a screen on both sides, so they could not see each other. The third floor was a single room.
The price of each floor was different. The first floor was 200 taels of silver, the second floor was 300 taels of silver, and the third floor was 500 taels of silver.
"Master, let's stay on the first floor." Xue blinked her bright eyes and looked around. "It's more lively there."
Chu Li smiled. "You just can't bear to part with the money, right?"
Xue Ling was in charge of the Glory's Will Courtyard's silver. Chu Li did not care about anything. The salary in the Public House was directly controlled by her.
Xue Ling came from a family of officials. She had never lacked money since she was young, but she spent what she should and never spent what she shouldn't. She was unwilling to spend an extra hundred or even three hundred taels of silver to buy a small residence in the city.
"Master, we're here to join in the fun. We're not really looking for a woman." Xue scoffed. "Do you really think these common women will catch your eye?"
"Xue Ling, you're wrong." Chu Li smiled and said, "The women here are not ordinary. Each of them is beautiful and extraordinary."
"Are they comparable to the women in the Public House?" Xue Ling was unconvinced.
Chu Li smiled. "Everyone has their own beauty. Otherwise, who would be willing to throw away two hundred taels?"
"Then I'd like to take a good look." Xue pulled him to a table.
She was dressed as a man and looked extremely handsome, causing the surrounding maids to glance at her from time to time.
A maid served the teapot and teacups. Xue reached out and took them. She waved her hand to signal the maid to leave. She poured the tea herself. The steam rose from the tea and she sniffed it a few times. "Not bad. I'm not fooling anyone. This tea is a fine product. "
She passed it to Chu Li with both hands.
"Those who are able to come here are either rich or of high status. The New Moon Brothel will not make a fool of itself in such a place." Chu Li took the teacup. "Relax, don't be so picky. The most important thing is to look at the beauty. "
"I really don't know what's there to see." Xue Ling pouted.
She looked around. There were already more than ten tables, and every table was accompanied by a woman.
They didn't flirt with the men around them. They just accompanied them and talked quietly. They were demure and elegant, just like the daughters of a noble family.
This made Xue Ling feel less disgusted. She smiled and looked at Chu Li. "Master, should we ask a woman to accompany us?"
"Alright," Chu Li replied.
Xue Ling waved her hand and a maid walked over gently.
Xue Ling said, "Ask a lady to come over and sit."
"Is there anyone that Young Master is familiar with?" The maid smiled and asked, "These are the ladies for tonight."
She took out a piece of paper from her sleeve, on which were written the names of some girls, followed by their prices.
Xue Ling took it and glanced at it. She pursed her red lips and said, "You're really black-hearted. You want a hundred taels just to sit for a while!"
The maid pursed her lips and smiled, not refuting.
Chu Li said, "Since you're here, don't be too careful. Pick a better one."
"It's expensive, right?" Xue Ling scoffed.
Chu Li took a sip of his tea.
"Alright, I want the most expensive one!" Xue Ling pointed at the last name. She felt that the cheapest one was not good enough for Young Master. This was not the time to save money.
"Miss Liu, please wait for a moment." The maid smiled and said.
Xue Ling sighed. "It's really a money squandering den. Five hundred taels already!"
Chu Li smiled. "It's rare to come here. Have fun."
As the two of them were talking, a young girl dressed in a plain floral gown walked over gracefully, like a weak willow swaying in the wind, and she curtsied gracefully, "I'm Bi Liu, greet the two young masters."
Her facial features were delicate and delicate. It made people want to protect her and not speak loudly.
Her bright eyes swept across and stopped on Xue Ling's face. It was obvious that she recognized Xue Ling as a girl.
Chu Li smiled and extended his hand. "Miss Liu Bi, please sit. It's our first time here. We're not clear about the rules here. When will there be singing and dancing? "
Liu smiled sweetly. "I'll be performing tonight. It'll start in fifteen minutes."
Xue Ling said, "Miss Liu Bi, what are you going to perform?"
"I'm going to dance to liven things up." Liu Bi said.
Xue Ling looked at her from top to bottom. Her slender waist looked like it could break if she was not careful. Her delicate body was tall and elegant. She would look good when she danced.
Chu Li's expression suddenly changed. He frowned.
Xue Ling noticed something was wrong. "Young Master, what's wrong?"
Chu Li said, "I met someone I shouldn't have."
"Who?" Xue Ling looked around and found a group of six people walking in. All of them were very handsome. They were all women dressed as men.
"Young Master Chu!" Sun Li Hua saw Chu Li from afar and waved her hand.
Chu Li smiled and waved.
He could feel Mei Ao Shuang's murderous gaze. He closed fist saluted and smiled. "Senior Qin, Valley Leader Mei, you're in a good mood!"
Fong Xiao Feng closed fist saluted and smiled. "I didn't expect to meet Young Master Chu here."
"Hmph!" Mei Ao Shuang sneered. "Men are all bad!"
Chu Li smiled without changing his expression. "Valley Leader Mei is a rare guest. I didn't expect you to come here to play."
"Chu Li, don't be too full of yourself!" Mei Ao Shuang was dressed in a green robe. She looked like an elegant young master. "Young Ying is my disciple!"
Chu Li smiled. "As long as Chen Ying agrees."
"I can't deal with you but someone else can!" Mei Ao Shuang sneered.
Chu Li smiled. "Then I'd like to see … Valley Leader Mei, would you like to sit together?"
He activated the Omniscient Mirror and looked into Mei Ao Shuang's mind. He was stunned. He did not expect to see Xiao Qi!
"Sure!" Mei Ao Shuang sat directly opposite him.
Fong Xiao Feng smiled sweetly. "Young Master Chu, we'll be disturbing you."
"I'm just here to relax and join in the fun." Chu Li smiled. "You're welcome."
He Bing Hua and the others did not speak. Fong Xiao Feng and Mei Ao Shuang were talking. They did not have the chance to interrupt. They could only stare at him with their eyes wide open.
"Miss Liu, you should go and prepare first." Chu Li smiled.
Liu saw the tense atmosphere at the table. She knew that she should not stay for long. She bowed lightly and left gracefully.
"She's already here. Why did you let her go?" Mei Ao Shuang scoffed. "Hypocrite!"
"Valley Leader Mei, Miss Liu is going to dance later." Chu Li smiled. The angrier she was, the more he found it interesting. "Everyone can see her dance."
As they were talking, two middle-aged men in embroidered clothes walked in with an imposing manner. They were in high spirits.
They were about to go upstairs when they suddenly saw Chu Li. They quickly walked over and closed fist saluted. "Chief Chu."
Chu Li turned to look at them. He smiled and waved his hand. "Go and enjoy yourselves. No need to be so polite."
The two of them replied, "Yes." They cupped their fists and went upstairs.
The rank five Protectors of the High Duke's Public House were rich. It was not surprising that they came to the New Moon Brothel.
Mei Ao Shuang was about to speak again when another middle-aged man in embroidered clothes entered the New Moon Brothel. He closed fist saluted Chu Li. Chu Li waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to be so polite.
After that, three more waves of people came into the New Moon Brothel. They were all Protectors of the High Duke's Public House. When they saw Chu Li, they all came over and saluted.
Mei Ao Shuang sneered. "The High Duke's Public House. What an eye-opener!"
Chu Li sighed. The Protectors of the High Duke's Public House were too bored. They all liked to come to the New Moon Brothel.
