A crisp sound was heard. The people who were chatting and laughing stopped and looked at the stage in the center.
Eight graceful women in gauze went up the stage with instruments in their hands.
Their faces were covered with white veils and their faces could not be seen clearly. However, everyone knew that the women in the New Moon Brothel were all beauties.
With such a graceful figure and a white veil covering their faces, it made them even more mysterious and tempting.
Chu Li smiled as he watched. The New Moon Brothel was indeed the New Moon Brothel. They really understood men's minds.
After the eight women went up the stage, they sat at the back and set up their instruments.
A flute sounded faintly. The people's minds were hooked and moved along with the sound of the flute. The huge New Moon Brothel became silent. Only the sound of the flute lingered.
The woman playing the flute only revealed her white and delicate chin. Her seductive red lips and the sound of the flute seemed to come from the bottom of her heart. It tugged at the heartstrings of the people.
The sound of the flute rose and the sound of the zither rang out. It was as clear as spring water and matched with the sound of the flute. The people seemed to see flying eagles and swimming fish in the spring. An open scene slowly unfolded in their minds.
Xue turned to look at Chu Li and sighed. "Amazing!"
She was proficient in the zither. When she heard the woman's performance, she felt inferior. Her technique was simple and pure, moving people with pure emotions. This was the realm that she had been pursuing. Now that she heard it, she knew how far she was from it.
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
Mei Ao Shuang listened attentively, deep in thought.
After the flute and the zither, the dulcimer was added. Slowly, the pipa, flute, piccolo, drum, xun, and erhu were added. The eight instruments played one after another. It was as if a scene of a spring night appeared in front of the people.
They did not know how much time had passed. When the song ended, everyone was lost in thought and sighed. They had experienced great enjoyment.
"Bang bang bang bang …" The drums were sonorous like war drums. The people's melancholy and quiet mood became excited. Chu Li praised.
Chu Li gasped in admiration. The sound of the drum was mysterious and resonated with the human body's vigor. Every line of the drum was a skill that was close to the path. This graceful lady's attainments in the drum were astonishing. Every beat of the drum seemed to strike at the hearts of the people. Unfortunately, she did not know any martial arts. She was truly amazing.
In the increasingly rapid sound of the drums, a graceful woman jumped down from the sky. She was graceful and landed like a willow.
"Bravo!" People applauded.
She wasn't using Qinggong. There was a ribbon in the air that pulled her down, making her look like she was flying.
She was wearing a lake-green gown with a layer of white muslin on the outside. Her face was covered with a white muslin. She looked as if she had flown out of a painting.
Her dress fluttered and her white muslin fluttered. Her movements were sometimes quick and sometimes slow along with the drum beats. Her graceful figure attracted people's attention. Their eyes were completely captivated by her, unable to look away.
Chu Li recognized Bi Liu at first glance.
Below the stage, Bi Liu was lovely and charming. She was an absolute beauty, but on the stage, Bi Liu was dazzling, mysterious and deadly.
Xue Ling turned her head and praised, "Master, I want to learn how to dance too!"
Looking at Bi Liu's graceful body making beautiful movements, she felt that she was clumsy and not attractive at all.
Chu Li smiled. "Sure."
Mei Ao Shuang cast a sidelong glance at Xue Ling's face.
Xue looked at her.
Chu Li asked, "Valley Leader Mei wants to learn as well?"
Mei Ao Shuang sneered. Just as she was about to speak, Fong Xiaofeng was afraid that the two of them would quarrel again. She quickly said, "Master Chu, this lady is …?"
Earlier, Chu Li and Mei Ao Shuang bickered and did not introduce each other. They had been guessing the relationship between the two.
"I am Master's maid, Xue Ling," Xue Ling said lightly.
"Oh?" Fong Xiaofeng looked at her in surprise. "I didn't expect that!"
She saw that Xue Ling had a profound cultivation level and thought that she was his companion. However, looking at her behavior and demeanor, it did not seem like it. She did not expect that she was really his maid. Being a maid at such a young age with such cultivation level was a waste of talent.
Xue Ling said lightly, "What didn't Senior Fong think of?"
She smiled sweetly in front of Chu Li. Once she was in front of others, she immediately became cold.
Fong Xiaofeng smiled. "You're an Innate Master at such a young age. You must be a rising star in the Public House, right?"
Xue Ling smiled faintly. She knew what Fong Xiaofeng was implying.
She was not from the Public House. It was no wonder that she would have such an idea. The people from the Public House would not think the same way. The maids of Master must at least be in the Innate Master's Boundary. Otherwise, they would not be worthy of Master's identity.
While the four of them were talking, Liu's dance did not stop. People stared at her without blinking, afraid that they would miss any movement.
The drumming stopped abruptly.
"Bravo!" The crowd shouted loudly and applauded with all their might.
Liu curtsied and held the ribbon hanging in the air. She fluttered into the fourth floor and disappeared without a trace. She came and went as if she was flying in the sky. She did not look like a human.
Chu Li clapped and praised. It was indeed pleasing to the eye. No wonder people were willing to spend so much money.
Xue Ling looked envious.
After a while, Liu changed into a gown and came over again.
Xue Ling held her hand and asked her how to practice dancing well.
The eight musicians on the center stage retreated and disappeared from people's sight.
People felt a sense of melancholy. They wished that this kind of performance would never end. However, the New Moon Brothel only had this one performance every night. Whether it was singing or dancing, it was different every day.
This made people revere the New Moon Brothel's strength. How amazing must they be to have a wonderful performance every day?
Chu Li did not think much of it.
He came from the modern world and his vision was different. He knew that the truly amazing ones were not the beauties. After all, there were more than thirty ladies in the New Moon Brothel. Each of them had unique skills. Whether it was singing or dancing, they only took turns to go on stage once a month. The amazing ones were the ones who created the performances.
The New Moon Brothel provided for a few groups of amazing people. Each group was responsible for one or two ladies. That was why they could create such top-notch creations.
Chu Li smiled at Xue Ling who was holding Liu's hand, "Let Miss Liu teach you personally."
"Will it work?" Xue Ling quickly asked.
Chu Li smiled at Liu, "Miss Liu, will it work?"
Liu looked troubled, "Master, you have to ask the brothel owner. I can't make the decision."
Chu Li smiled, "Alright."
Mei Ao Shuang glanced at him. She looked down on his playboy behavior.
With Fong Xiao Feng around, every time Chu Li and Mei Ao Shuang exchanged a few words, he would be discouraged. There was no big conflict.
This made Mei Ao Shuang very dissatisfied. She had always wanted to teach him a lesson now that she finally had the chance.
Chu Li handed the jade tag on his waist to Xue, "Take this and go with Liu to meet the brothel owner. She won't have to come here personally."
"Yes." Xue Ling took the jade tag.
After a while, Xue Ling came back happily. Everyone knew it was a success at first glance.
As the night deepened, Chu Li and Xue Ling left the New Moon Brothel. Mei Ao Shuang and the others also left.
Chu Li did not expect that she did not take the opportunity to stop him. However, her triumphant expression before leaving was enough to annoy him.
The next morning, he had just finished his cultivation when Xiao Qi personally came to visit.
Chu Li sighed. It was finally coming.
He guessed Xiao Qi's intention. She was here to persuade Mei Ao Shuang.
The breeze was gentle. Xiao Qi was wearing a white tunic as she sat quietly in the pagoda. She said lightly, "Ao Shuang and I are good friends. I heard from her that Chen Ying has excellent qualifications. With her training, she can become a Grandmaster in three years."
Chu Li sat opposite her and took a sip of tea, "Doesn't Valley Leader Mei hate the people of the High Duke's Public House?"
"When we first met, she did not know that I was from the High Duke's Public House." Xiao Qi looked at the rustling green bamboos. Her eyes were empty as if she was reminiscing about the past, "At that time, I used an alias to wander the martial arts world. Fortunately, she saved me and I survived until now."
