Chapter 75

"It's so comfortable to be out!"

After coming out of the Shanhai Pavilion in the Menghua Building, Shen Yu stood on the stairs, curiously looking around while clicking his tongue in wonder. This was his first time entering such a luxurious brothel as the Menghua Building.

This place truly lived up to its reputation as the number one Brothel in Sanshui County; the quality of the young women inside was absolutely beyond reproach. Just looking at so many young women was a treat in itself. The coming and going of these beauties seemed to have been specially trained in their mannerisms and movements; didn't he see how every man who came here was so hooked they were reluctant to leave?

Moreover, some of the young women seemed to possess a unique temperament; they didn't look like fallen women of the dust, but rather had an air of heroism. They were more like female martial artists wandering the world, and one could imagine the lethality they held for a group of grown men.

The guests who came here were not just wealthy merchants and gentry, but more often than not, martial arts experts. Each one was generous, not treating money as money at all. In this World where martial power was supreme, it was indeed true that those with Martial Arts made money the fastest.

"Oh, an acquaintance!" Suddenly, Shen Yu saw a familiar figure in the crowd, quietly weaving between the people. This person was none other than the Iron Badge Constable he had seen before, that girl with the not-so-great temper.

Did she really think she could pass for a man just by sticking on two pieces of fake mustache? What exactly was the wiring in these girls' brains? Did she think others couldn't tell? Even if one wasn't an old hand, one could tell at a glance, alright.

Following the other's footsteps, Shen Yu quietly hid behind her. Before long, the girl arrived outside a room and secretly observed the situation inside from the window. Shen Yu also followed, looking into the room through a crack in the window.

"What a beautiful girl!" What caught his eye was a girl of eighteen or nineteen, whose appearance was even more refined and otherworldly; even compared to Meng Han, whom the Du Family had just sent over, she was no less impressive. It was a pity that such a beauty had fallen into the dust!

"Junior sister, let me take you away. Let me take you out of here!"

"No need. Staying here is my own choice; I am not going anywhere!"

Two voices came from the room, one from the girl inside and the other from the heroic-looking young man beside her. Seeing this, an eighty-episode grand emotional drama of love and hatred instantly flashed through Shen Yu's mind!

"You!" Suddenly seeing Shen Yu appear beside her, the girl was almost scared into screaming, but she immediately reacted and hurriedly pressed her index finger to her lips: "Shh!"

Nodding at her, Shen Yu signaled that he understood and, like her, pressed his ear against the wall to quietly listen to the sounds inside.

"Junior sister, look at the kind of life you are living now. I absolutely will not allow you to continue like this. Today, no matter what, I am taking you away!"

The young man inside the room seemed to have become very irritable, like a volcano that could erupt at any moment.

And just as he was speaking, the young man made a move, seemingly wanting to use forceful means to take her away. The girl opposite also seemed to have some Martial Arts, but she was clearly much weaker.

"Junior sister, how could your Martial Arts...?"

"Over these years, I have long since neglected my training; it is normal for my Martial Arts to have regressed!" Forcibly breaking free from his restraint, the girl inside suddenly pulled out a dagger and held it against her own throat.

"Senior brother, if you truly care for me, do not force me! No matter what, I will not leave!"

"Junior sister, why must you do this!" Looking at this scene with resentment, the young man's heartache could be felt even through the window. To see the girl he loved fallen into the dust and unwilling to leave—no one could bear that.

Tsk tsk, ancient romance Mary Sue, indeed!

"You go, do not come looking for me again!"

"Junior sister!" Looking at the beloved woman before him, the young man hated his own incompetence but was powerless to act; after struggling for a long while, he chose to leave.

After the young man left, the sound of the girl's sobbing came from inside; that pitiful appearance really made one want to hold her in their arms and protect her carefully.

At this moment, the girl beside him pulled Shen Yu away quietly. Only after they were some distance away did a look of disdain appear on her face: "Why is Constable Shen here? Coming to a place like the Menghua Building as soon as you take office—it turns out Constable Shen is nothing more than this!"

"This official is at least better than some people who dress as men. Being a woman and visiting a Brothel—I wonder if your senior brother knows you have this special hobby!"

"You! I came here to investigate a case!"

"Yes, investigating a case, all the way to a Brothel. I believe you!"

"You!" Suppressing the anger in her heart, every time she saw him, she couldn't help but want to get angry. Don't be angry, don't be angry; the key was that she couldn't beat him. If she could beat him, who would be bickering with him? She would have kicked him long ago!

"Does Constable Shen know who the girl inside is? She is the top headliner of the Menghua Building. Every day, countless people want to request her, but she has a rule: she only receives heroic martial artists with high-level skills!"

"Moreover, she has another identity: the granddaughter of the former sect leader of the Bai Yu Sect, and the junior sister of the current sect leader of the Bai Yu Sect!"

"Oh?" Even Shen Yu couldn't help but be a bit curious about this identity. By rights, such a junior sister should be the center of attention; how could she have fallen into the dust? Was internal sect fighting this fierce these days?

The Bai Yu Sect, the Nanyu Sect, and the Dajiang Sect were the three major sects in the Sanshui County area in the past. However, in the last two years, the Dajiang Sect had gradually declined, and the three major sects had become two sects contending with each other. The Bai Yu Sect seemed to have gradually lost its voice, as if it had completely hidden itself away.

Seeing that Shen Yu's curiosity had been successfully piqued, the girl continued: "Do you know that this Menghua Building is an industry of the Bai Yu Sect? Moreover, over half of the brothels in Sanshui County have been taken over by the Bai Yu Sect one by one in recent years!"

"A dignified sect actually operating a Brothel, and even most of the female disciples of the Bai Yu Sect have fallen into the dust, only able to sing and dance every night. Doesn't Constable Shen find this strange?"

"This..." To be honest, this was indeed very strange. Looking again at those young women in the Menghua Building, no wonder Shen Yu felt they had a heroic spirit that ordinary women didn't have; they were actually female disciples of the Bai Yu Sect.

Just how bad must the Bai Yu Sect be doing to have to let their female disciples take on part-time jobs to subsidize the household? Or was it that the Bai Yu Sect itself had a problem and was forcing the female disciples to do such things? If it was forced, then he could not just sit by and watch.

"Constable Shen, look carefully at those men coming out of the rooms: their legs are weak, their essence and energy are leaking—they are already in a state of great deficiency!"

"Uh, so?"

"So I suspect this is Harvesting Yang to Replenish Yin. The Bai Yu Sect is using the convenience of the Brothel to practice the method of Harvesting Yang to Replenish Yin!"

Wait a minute, little girl, do you have any common sense? After coming here to play, isn't it normal for one's legs to be weak? If they weren't a bit deficient, wouldn't they have come for nothing?

Harvesting Yang to Replenish Yin? Could it be that you are overthinking it? This imagination is running a bit too wild!

Seeming to perceive Shen Yu's inner thoughts, the girl's face turned red, and then she took two steps back with a look of disgust, wishing she could get away from Shen Yu as quickly as possible.

"Constable Shen might not know, but the evidence we have obtained from the cases we are currently investigating seems to vaguely point to the Bai Yu Sect. And various clues indicate that some of the young women abducted by gangs like the Fen Shui Gang and the Longgan Gang have also flowed into the Bai Yu Sect!"

"Is that so!" His eyes narrowed slightly, and the killing intent on his body flashed and vanished. If the Bai Yu Sect was truly involved in things like the trafficking of young women, then they could not be left alone!

"The Bai Yu Sect is, after all, a powerful force. My strength is low, so I would like to ask Constable Shen to help me scout the Bai Yu Sect!"

"You do have some self-awareness, knowing that your strength is insufficient!"

"You, you! Don't be angry, don't be angry, I'm almost at my limit!"
