Chapter 16: Going to a Fun Place

Bai Zhi's gaze immediately locked onto Bai Chengliang: "Chengliang, what did you just say?"

"Uh..."

Bai Chengliang broke out in a cold sweat.

He had been too excited just now and accidentally spoke his inner thoughts.

Realizing his slip of the tongue, he hurriedly feigned indifference and said, "Ah? What did I say? I said let's go drinking. My brother-in-law is new here, so I definitely have to treat him to a good meal."

Bai Zhi: "I suppose that's thoughtful of you, but I must take him to see Father and Mother first. I know Father isn't satisfied with this son-in-law, but... this hurdle cannot be avoided."

Bai Chengliang said: "Father went to Haicheng next door for business and won't be back until very late. Why don't I take my brother-in-law out for a stroll first to get familiar with the local customs of the Southern Region? We can pick up some gifts while we're at it; we can't show up empty-handed for the first meeting with Father and Mother."

"That works too," Bai Zhi nodded.

"Alright, then you stay home and consolidate your cultivation, Sister, and my brother-in-law and I will head out," Bai Chengliang said cheerfully, then impatiently dragged Yang Yu away.

Yang Yu took the opportunity to activate his Scan skill.

Above Bai Chengliang's head, two entries appeared: Sister-con, Friend of Courtesans.

Sister-con?

Hmm, that certainly fits Bai Chengliang's persona.

But the entry "Friend of Courtesans" truly left Yang Yu a bit confused.

"System, what is a Friend of Courtesans?"

【Courtesans, also known as brothel women.】

"Ha, so it's just a prostitute, why put it so elegantly? This kid mentioned drinking flower wine earlier, so it seems it wasn't a slip of the tongue. To be a regular at brothels at such a young age, he's got something going on," Yang Yu sighed to himself.

…………

Before long, Bai Chengliang arranged a carriage and took Yang Yu away from the Bai Family.

"Brother-in-law, let me give you a brief introduction. There are five cities in the Southern Region, and Ning City, where the Bai Family is located, has the richest cultivation resources and the most experts."

"There are many factions in the Southern Region, and the Bai Family belongs to the top tier. As long as you mention the Bai Family when you're out and about, most people will give you some face."

"In the center of Ning City, there is an important shop called Baibao Pavilion. You can basically buy all kinds of Heaven and Earth treasures, weapons, and Martial Techniques there."

On the way, Bai Chengliang explained enthusiastically.

After listening for a while, Yang Yu asked:

"Are we going to Baibao Pavilion to buy gifts next?"

Bai Chengliang acted mysterious:

"No rush, I'll take you to a more fun place first, brother-in-law."

"Oh? What kind of fun place?" Yang Yu had already guessed, but he still feigned curiosity.

Bai Chengliang chuckled and said: "Fangfei Pavilion, ahem."

"Fangfei Pavilion, this name... could it be a brothel? I've never been to a place like that," Yang Yu said with a naive expression.

"Haha, that's even better, I'll broaden your horizons," Bai Chengliang said excitedly.

Yang Yu hesitated: "Is this appropriate? What if your sister finds out?"

Bai Chengliang whispered: "If you don't say anything and I don't say anything, who would know? Besides, we're just going to listen to some music, we aren't doing anything out of line."

"Listening to music is great, very elegant," Yang Yu praised.

Bai Chengliang slapped his thigh and said: "Exactly, we men of the Bai Family are all about elegance."

Yang Yu didn't decline again.

It wasn't that he wanted to go, but rather that it was hard to refuse such hospitality.

In his past life, he worked in engineering and understood one thing deeply—the fastest way for two men to improve their relationship is to go to KTVs and bath centers.

At this moment, Bai Chengliang wanting to take him to Fangfei Pavilion was a sincere attempt to bridge the gap between them.

It could be said he was very sincere.

This brother-in-law is worth befriending!

As for buying gifts for his father-in-law, that could wait a little while.

…………

The carriage sped along and soon arrived at the destination.

Fangfei Pavilion was built by the water, spanning three floors and covering a huge area.

The building was brightly lit outside and magnificent inside.

On the side facing the water was a row of exquisite flower boats.

As soon as Yang Yu and Bai Chengliang got off the carriage, a group of beauties gathered around, saying in sweet voices:

"Oh my, two distinguished guests, please come inside."

"It's only just turned dark, and you two have already arrived; you really have flattered this little one."

"Hey, isn't this Young Master Bai? We sisters have missed you so much."

"The top courtesan's performance is starting soon, let's get you two some elegant seats."

As the young women spoke, they vied to grab Yang Yu and Bai Chengliang's wrists, leading them into the building.

Such enthusiasm made Yang Yu feel right at home.

However, he could tell that ordinary guests wouldn't receive this kind of treatment.

He was benefiting from Bai Chengliang's reputation.

This kid was laughing loudly while greeting the women, actually knowing everyone's name; he was incredibly familiar with the place.

He wasn't called a Friend of Courtesans for nothing.

In the main hall, a stage had been set up.

Several enchanting women were dancing gracefully, which was quite a feast for the eyes.

However, the guests were not particularly concerned.

What they wanted to see most was the top courtesan!

The building was packed today, and many had come for the sake of the top courtesan...

Yang Yu and Bai Chengliang also sat down in the main hall.

They ordered some wine and food and kept two young women. One was named Shuang Shuang, and the other was named Xiao Tao.

"Brother-in-law, Xiao Tao has such a good personality; she will serve you, how about that?" Bai Chengliang acted like a host.

Yang Yu nodded and said, "Very good."

This Xiao Tao belonged to the petite and cute type, and she was very thoughtful in her speech and actions.

As soon as she came up, she poured a cup of tea, peeled a peanut, and brought it to Yang Yu's lips: "This young master is so handsome; so you are Young Master Bai's brother-in-law?"

"That's right." Yang Yu nodded.

Xiao Tao exclaimed, "To be able to become a son-in-law of the Bai Family, you must be a dragon among men. I wonder, which young lady of the Bai Family is the young master marrying?"

"Xiao Tao, you are truly silly. Who else would I call sister in the Bai Family? Those distant cousins don't count at all," Bai Chengliang said with a chuckle.

Xiao Tao and Shuang Shuang widened their eyes and said, "It is actually Miss Bai Zhi? She is the most talented woman in Ning City; she reached the Fifth Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm before the age of twenty."

"No, no, my sister is now at the Sixth Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm," Bai Chengliang puffed out his chest and said proudly.

"Too strong!" Xiao Tao said, "By the way, I still don't know how to address this young master?"

"Yang Yu, you can just call him Young Master Yang," Bai Chengliang said.

"Alright, Young Master Yang, please have some tea..." Xiao Tao picked up the teacup.

Yet at this moment, a slightly rough palm suddenly swung over.

Slap!

The teacup in Xiao Tao's hand was smashed away on the spot and shattered all over the floor.

The owner of that palm was a burly youth with a fierce look in his eyes, which scared Xiao Tao so much that her face turned pale, and she said, "Distinguished guest, what are you doing?"

"Get lost, this is none of your business!"

The youth looked displeased, swung his large hand again, and pushed Xiao Tao aside directly.

Then he pointed at Yang Yu and said in a sinister voice, "You, are you going to marry Bai Zhi?"

"So what?" Yang Yu raised an eyebrow.

Bai Chengliang jumped up in anger and cursed, "Jiang Han, what the hell do you mean by this?"

He had happily brought his brother-in-law out to have fun.

To think he would run into this kind of thing.

This Jiang Han came from the Jiang Family, which was also a top-tier noble family in the Southern Region, on par with the Bai Family.

But the other party had smashed his brother-in-law's teacup and even hit Xiao Tao.

This was slapping his brother-in-law in the face, and it was also slapping him, Bai Chengliang, in the face!

In a fit of rage, he raised his fist directly and blasted it out!
