Chapter 568: Descendant of an Old Acquaintance

Kuixiang Pavilion.

This place is one of the premier brothels in Longqing Prefecture, and tonight's Flower Courtesan competition is being held right here.

Around the central courtyard stage, the area was already packed with refined scholars and gentlemen seeking pleasure.

When Aaron arrived, he could only find a seat in the corner.

"This gentleman, tonight is the grand occasion for Miss Tianxiang and Miss Ziyuan to vie for the title of Flower Courtesan. Each guest may purchase a ten-tael gold flower to present to their favorite lady; the one with the most gold flowers at the end wins... If you can successfully support a lady to become the Flower Courtesan, perhaps she will offer herself to you tonight."

The pimp spoke with extreme ambiguity, making it sound as if tossing a gold flower were enough to take a Flower Courtesan home.

Having experienced the Liu Family massacre caused by a single Bai Mudan, Aaron was not interested in this.

Aaron stood with his hands behind his back, emitting a hoarse voice.

Aaron grabbed Yu Xuanwei's arm, tapped his feet lightly, and swept past the window, flying outward like a large bird.

"I don't want the Flower Courtesan; call out all the ladies in your establishment who are actually for sale..." Aaron casually tipped a few taels of silver: "First, let's watch the show, then I'll go spend a night of spring."

She toyed with the gold bead in her hand, her expression somewhat confused.

What Aaron spoke of was, naturally, the 'Red Thread Sword'.

Because Yu Xuanwei was the descendant of an old acquaintance, he gave her special care; practicing this technique up to Transformation Energy would be no problem.

The procuress received the tip and immediately beamed, sending the fair-skinned young girl into Aaron's arms: "I won't hide it from you, sir, this daughter of mine is receiving a guest for the first time; you must cherish her well..."

"Not bad, not bad. You didn't scream, fearing that I might act desperately and harm you, which shows you are meticulous; you didn't faint from fright, which shows you have courage. A girl who is both courageous and meticulous—I like it!"

"This is a family heirloom, sir. It was pawned, and I only just redeemed it recently," Yu Xuanwei replied with a dazed look in her eyes.

"Is your name Xuanwei?"

"This pendant looks quite unique; where did you buy it?" Aaron toyed with the jade pendant, teasing her as if casually.

Then...

"I will not ask about your background, sir..." Yu Xuanwei said with a trembling voice: "If you want money... sir, please take it all..."

"Indeed so..."

Late at night.

In Yu Xuanwei's room.

"Because you are a talent worth molding, I will teach you martial arts, allow you to become an expert, and grasp great power! As for why you ended up here or what enemies you have? I don't want to hear it, and I'm too lazy to listen. As long as you possess the strength, you can resolve it yourself."

"Very good."

Aaron looked at Yu Xuanwei, and suddenly, a sense of melancholy welled up in his heart.

"Are you... a person of the Jianghu?" Yu Xuanwei's eyes darted around, not knowing what she was thinking.

If a Martial Master saw this scene, their eyes would surely pop out.

"Please have some wine, sir." Xuanwei wore a trained, seductive smile as she poured wine for Aaron.

"I am—Qinglong Laoda!"

"I will obey the Master's every command." Yu Xuanwei performed a deep bow.

Aaron laughed: "Seeing that you are a talent worth molding, are you interested in serving as the White Dragon Envoy among my Five-Colored Dragon Envoys?"

He had no intention of revealing his identity; after all, the past was the past.

After all, having lived on a deserted island for thirty years, one must find some amusement and relief.

"I will first find a secret place to settle you, then arrange for you to learn martial arts! A woman's physical strength is weak; you can learn the sword."

He had gained quite a lot from the Cao Family, even obtaining the secret medicine that accompanied the Red Thread Sword Technique.

"My grandmother..."

Miss Tianxiang and Miss Ziyuan were performing on stage together.

"My stage name is 'Yu Xuanwei'; my mother gave it to me." Yu Xuanwei took the opportunity to lean into Aaron's arms, feeling a mischievous large hand already touching her chest.

Yu Xuanwei knew she had encountered a rare opportunity in her life; after hesitating for a moment, she knelt on the ground without hesitation.

"Why did you choose me?" Yu Xuanwei pointed at herself.

"No!"

He did not fancy the ones in front who were posturing; instead, a woman in the back row made his eyes light up slightly.

He looked at Yu Xuanwei carefully and finally understood where that sense of familiarity came from.

He stopped talking and focused on the performance on stage.

Yu Xuanwei took the gold bead and looked at the handsome youth; she couldn't describe her feelings, so she could only bow sadly and retreat.

"Yes."

Killing is like this, and this is also like this...

Coupled with skin as fair as if it could be broken by a blow, the temptation of wearing only a thin gauze dress, and a figure that was quite well-endowed.

To dump mountains of gold and silver just for a Flower Courtesan—that was not his way.

Yu Xuanwei looked back at Kuixiang Pavilion, seemingly unable to believe she had escaped this Demon den.

Not long after waiting, a procuress brought a group of young women over: "Greetings, sir!"

Although her appearance was not the best, that look in her eyes and her charm... made Aaron feel a sense of familiarity.

For energy to leave the body by more than a foot is a feat only a Transforming Strength Master can perform!

'Thirty years... Nannan has become a grandmother? Uh... ancient women gave birth early; mothers at fifteen or sixteen were common...'

No, he was not a monster, he was just wearing a dragon-head mask!

Yu Xuanwei covered her mouth, not screaming, nor did she faint.

The tables below were also filled with constant ambiguity.

"Hello there."

When the song ended and the crowd dispersed, after Miss Tianxiang won the title of Flower Courtesan, he tossed a gold bead to Yu Xuanwei: "You served well, but tonight, let's have another young lady come to attend to me in bed."

Aaron had one arm around her waist while watching the performance on stage, feeling quite entertained and relaxed.

"This subordinate pays respects to the Honored Master!"

"It is Xuanwei, attend to the master well."

If Yu Xuanwei did not agree, he would turn and leave immediately, without the slightest hesitation.

Today's guest is truly a bit strange.

……

On stage.

Coming over now was merely for the sake of an old acquaintance's descendant, just giving her a chance.

Caught a pendant of a purple jade lotus!

Pfft!

Aaron almost spat out his wine, then broke into a fit of coughing.

'This gentleman is likely a long-distance merchant just looking to vent his urges... what a waste of talent!' the pimp thought to himself, immediately feeling confident, knowing this gentleman did not like the pretentious act of exchanging poetry.

By the time she landed, she was already shedding tears.

From the corner, a strange person with a human body and a dragon head slowly walked out!

Aaron stepped forward: "I will take you away from here first; is there anyone or anything you wish to bring?"

Bang!

A corner of the wooden table not far away was directly sliced off, the cut as smooth as a mirror.

"Then let's go."

Just as she was preparing to change clothes and get into bed, the candlelight suddenly dimmed.

Aaron looked at this fair-skinned young lady, feeling she looked somewhat familiar.

Aaron flicked his fingernails.

Because she had nothing left to lose.

"A family heirloom? Who passed it to you?"

Aaron's expression became even stranger.

Aaron said slowly.

Aaron scanned the room, then suddenly pointed to the back row of the crowd: "That young lady will do."

"My Qingyun Chamber of Commerce recognizes the token, not the person; this seat and the Five-Colored Dragon Envoys are in contact via a single line, using this as proof!"

Aaron produced a large coin, his internal energy pulsing, and sliced it directly in two, tossing one half to Yu Xuanwei.
