Chapter 70: 70 Young Master Ning is too righteous!

Looking at the sly expression on Divine Nun Liuli, Ning Mu shook his head helplessly.

He pointed at Ji Siniang, Jiang Fuling, and the others, looked at Liuli, and said sonorously, "It is said that those who have left the secular world do not tell lies, and it is also said that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda."

"Can the Reverend really bear to watch this group of beautiful, flower-like maidens perish in such an obscure and unknown way?"

"Even if the Reverend can bear it, this junior cannot!"

"If the Reverend insists on using this junior joining the Buddha Gate as a threat before you are willing to offer your help..."

"Then for their sake, this junior can only be forced to agree to your request, but by that time, I will no longer be the person I am now. Does the Reverend think that a melon twisted off the vine by force can be sweet?"

Ning Mu was impassioned and righteous.

After successfully seizing the initiative in the conversation, he spoke eloquently.

Especially that last sentence, which was spoken with both sorrow and a kind of heroic detachment as if facing death.

These words immediately shocked everyone present into silence.

Ji Siniang and Jiang Fuling exchanged a silent glance, both seeing shock in the other's eyes.

They were not fools.

On the contrary, having spent years drifting through pleasure houses and selling smiles to everyone they met, they had long since honed hearts as clear and exquisite as a seven-aperture jade.

It was not hard to hear from these words.

The Divine Nun before them wanted to use Young Master Ning joining the Buddha Gate as a threat before she would offer to save them.

It is said that the Buddha Gate is compassionate.

Now it seems, it is nothing more than this!

For a moment, the eyes of Ji Siniang, Jiang Fuling, and the others, as they looked at Liuli, were filled with hostility and contempt.

If it were not for the fact that they all wanted to remove the poison from their bodies.

They would have likely driven this "scum of the Buddha Gate" away by now!

And when they looked at Ning Mu, their eyes were filled with heartfelt respect and admiration! Young Master Ning is too righteous! Even though they were mere strangers, he was willing to sacrifice himself and enter the empty gate for the sake of their lowly lives!

Such a mindset could only be called great!

In this instant, Ning Mu's figure in the hearts of Ji Siniang, Jiang Fuling, and the crowd of famous courtesans was as tall and mighty as a god, shining light into their hearts...

???

The atmosphere underwent a subtle change.

At this moment, Liuli instantly felt that she had been isolated!

The way they looked at her was as if they were looking at some demon or monster, filled with alienation and hostility.

The corner of Liuli's eye twitched, and she was suddenly furious, looking at Ning Mu with resentment.

This kid... is truly shrewd.

He took the lead in seizing the moral high ground, turning a disadvantage into an advantage; she really didn't know whether to call him smart or cunning! However, the more he was like this, the more she actually liked him.

Isn't there joy in the harvest only after a challenge?

If it were really so easy to make him submit, she would feel like something was missing.

Liuli gave a helpless, bitter smile, looked at Ning Mu, and said pointedly, "Little friend, do you know that excessive wisdom leads to an early death?"

Ning Mu gave a mischievous smile, but still said with an innocent face, "Is the Reverend threatening this junior? But this junior has already agreed!"

"That is not the case!" Liuli pouted, a rare sight.

In those calm, ancient-well-like eyes, an impulse to beat him to death arose.

But immediately, she tried to calm her state of mind and said gently, "This poor nun is merely reminding little friend that showing off one's wisdom in front of others will eventually lead to a backlash against oneself."

"Furthermore, what little friend said is indeed not without reason; a melon twisted off by force may quench thirst, but it is not sweet!"

"This poor nun can wait for little friend to turn back to the shore."

"As for the poison of the female benefactors, this poor nun will naturally act to save them. Little friend's unyielding spirit has made this poor nun look at you with new eyes. I believe that one day, this poor nun will be able to make little friend willingly submit to the Buddha Gate..."

As Liuli's words landed, the atmosphere finally eased slightly.

At this moment. Suddenly.

Jiang Fuling's knees went soft, and she knelt on the ground, bowing her head, and said in a crisp voice, "The Reverend is kind-hearted to spare the Young Master; we are deeply grateful!"

The next moment.

The crowd of famous courtesans from Hua Man Ge, deeply moved by Ning Mu, all knelt on the ground.

It appeared they were thanking Liuli.

But their words were filled with deep admiration for Ning Mu.

Liuli looked helpless.

She had not expected that instead of breaking the hawk, she had been used by this hawk as a means to break herself.

This time, the level of this little friend Ning Mu is in the Heaven Beyond Heaven!

It is imaginable.

From now on, this group of women kneeling before him will likely be devoted to Ning Mu, especially this beautiful and refined woman who knelt first; she would likely be happy to die for him...

"Many thanks, Reverend. Please prepare the medicine here; this junior will take his leave first."

Ning Mu grinned, appearing honest, but actually being cunning.

After cupping his hands in a salute, his gaze turned to Ji Siniang.

Ji Siniang understood, and immediately nodded, saying, "Reporting to Young Master, the matters you entrusted to me have all been handled. Fuling will go with you, and the other twenty Red Courtesans have also been prepared."

Before her voice had even faded.

Jiang Fuling began to call names among the crowd.

Before long, twenty famous courtesans with excellent looks and figures stood in two rows.

Ning Mu took a look, then shook his head in dissatisfaction.

"All of you, go back and change your clothes. Take out what you consider the most seductive, the clothes those patrons like the most; don't keep them at the bottom of your trunks. Since you've chosen this line of work, you must be willing to cast aside your pride!"

"Go, quickly!"

Ning Mu clapped his hands, letting those twenty Red Courtesans go back to change their clothes.

What were they wearing? They looked nothing like women of a brothel; each one was wrapped up tight, and apart from those charming, alluring faces and the slender figures that could be vaguely discerned, there was simply nothing attractive to see.

In an instant.

As Ning Mu's voice fell, the Red Courtesans began to chatter incessantly. Each one was incomparably beautiful, their eyes filled with shyness as they looked at Ning Mu, and they hurried back to their respective rooms to change clothes in a continuous stream.

If this were before yesterday, they certainly would not have so easily put on those clothes that were only meant to be worn in the boudoir when being intimate with patrons.

But now, let alone changing into those shameful clothes.

Even if Young Master Ning asked them to go out naked, they would take them off on the spot without the slightest hesitation.

However, they were still very curious in their hearts.

What exactly did Young Master Ning intend to do by having them change into those undergarments? Could it be that...

Young Master Ning was preparing to handle this whole group of experienced, wanton women all by himself?

Wouldn't he be at risk of dying from excessive loss of Yang?

As the women returned to their rooms, Jiang Fuling hesitated for a moment, a flicker of struggle flashing in her eyes before clarity returned. As if she had made up her mind, she lowered her head and began to walk, preparing to return to her room to put on the undergarments she had prepared years ago but had never worn.

She was a Qingguan, and one could even say she was the only truly genuine Qingguan in the entire Yonghang City!

But at this moment...

She had made up her mind.

For Young Master Ning, she was willing to fall.

To strip away this "pure" label and replace it with "red," and even to compete for the title of top courtesan for Young Master Ning's sake.

As long as Young Master Ning needs it! (End of chapter)
