"I have nothing to do today, so I'll go to the brothel to listen to some music!"
.......
Chapter 11 Conflict! Activate the Devouring Starry Sky Technique!
As evening fell, Wei Changxuan, accompanied by someone dressed in a wide black robe,
Wearing a straw hat, Janet arrived at the famous Jiaofangsi in the capital.
Coming here to enjoy music and entertainment in the brothels is one aspect of the experience.
On the other hand, of course, it's about showing off in front of others and gaining attention.
After all, Wei Changxuan is currently attracting the attention of top experts from various factions.
With just the advanced warrior-level Janet and the Black God Set, one can barely protect oneself at best.
To truly develop the skills of a chess player, one must continue to improve their abilities.
Therefore, earning Shock Points and increasing your strength through more draws is the key.
Inside a small alley.
It was already close to dusk.
As dusk settles, various horse-drawn carriages line the alleyways, and the sounds of string and wind instruments mingle with the melodious singing of women drift from the courtyards.
It makes you feel all itchy inside.
Then Wei Changxuan led Janet in her black robe through the maze of alleyways.
As far as he knew, this entire area of hutongs was the territory of the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment district).
Moreover, the minimum opening fee for entering the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment venue) was five taels of silver.
Those who are not high-ranking officials, nobles, or powerful families simply cannot afford to consume it.
A short while later, Wei Changxuan stopped outside a small courtyard.
The plaque above the courtyard gate reads: Plum Blossom Pavilion!
The courtyard gate was open at this moment, with two red lanterns hanging on either side.
The courtyard is filled with plum trees, their branches adorned with buds yet to bloom.
There was a gatekeeper at the door who looked at Wei Changxuan walking towards him with a humble yet dignified expression.
"Sir, our courtyard is booked for the entire day. Please leave now!"
"Huh? You've booked the whole place?"
Wei Changxuan was stunned. He hadn't expected to encounter a private event on his first visit to the Jiaofangsi.
Just then, a voice came from the alley behind them.
"Where did this country bumpkin come from, daring to come to Plum Blossom Pavilion? Can you even afford to pay?"
Wei Changxuan narrowed his eyes and turned around. A young man in brocade robes walked in with several servants.
"What are you looking at? My father is the Vice Minister of Revenue. Who do you think you are to look at me like that?"
Looking at the person in front of him, Young Master Zhou felt offended.
Today is a day for networking among the top-tier children of high-ranking officials.
Although the person in front of him appeared to be from a wealthy family, Young Master Zhou knew he had never seen him before.
That means this person is not from an official family, or at least not from an official family of the same rank as him.
He didn't take those second-generation officials or rich kids seriously at all.
For many years, Wei Changxuan has been cultivating in the night watchman's office, hoping to break through to the eighth rank of martial arts.
Therefore, he rarely went out to socialize, and due to the influence of his uncle Wei Yuan, he never socialized with the top second-generation officials in the capital.
In addition, Wei Changxuan is a few years older than this Young Master Zhou.
Therefore, the two sides had no interaction whatsoever. Most of the top second-generation elites in the capital had heard of Wei Changxuan, but had rarely met him.
"Didn't you hear what my young master said? Get out of here now!"
"You've disturbed my young master's enjoyment. Can your worthless life compensate for it?"
At this moment, the servant beside Young Master Zhou immediately reprimanded Wei Changxuan.
"Oh? What if I don't leave?"
Wei Changxuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Young Master Zhou with a scrutinizing gaze.
He didn't want to cause trouble, since there would be plenty of opportunities to show off in front of others in the future.
Moreover, as far as he knew, Fu Xiang was one of the twelve most beautiful courtesans in the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment institution).
They only sell their skills, not their bodies. Unless it's voluntary, even these top-tier second-generation elites can't force them.
So he still has plenty of opportunities.
But the arrogant and domineering Young Master Zhou in front of him reminded him of the original timeline.
The incident involved someone harassing Xu Lingyue in the street and trying to kill Xu Qi'an.
If it were that young master Zhou, he would indeed be capable of such arrogant and domineering behavior.
Since that's the case, then this young master is determined to go in today!
"You won't leave? Then I'll break all your limbs and throw you out today!"
At Zhou Gongzi's command.
"Give him a beating, let this ignorant fool know that not everyone can spout nonsense!"
With a whoosh, five or six servants under Young Master Zhou also drew daggers from their leg wraps and rushed towards Wei Changxuan.
The Great Laws and Decrees.
In the capital, no one without an official rank could carry a sword.
Those who are not wearing official robes are not allowed to carry swords; violators will be punished with eighty strokes of the cane and a fine of one hundred taels of silver.
Those who gather a crowd with knives shall be executed immediately.
Daggers are not included in this list; this group has exploited a loophole in the law.
These five or six attendants were not only skilled martial artists, but they had also learned combined attack techniques, and their coordination was seamless.
His attacks were ruthless and vicious, each strike drawing blood.
Meanwhile, the gatekeeper, sensing the danger, had already gone to inform the people from the Jiaofangsi and Meiying Xiaoge.
"What a coincidence, you have the same idea as me. I also want to break all four limbs and throw them out of here!"
"In that case, let's each rely on our own abilities!"
Wei Changxuan stood still, but his figure did not move.
The next moment, a powerful surge of cosmic energy swept down.
Just as Wei Changxuan was activating this energy...
The top figures in the entire capital of Dafeng also sensed something and looked in the direction of the Jiaofangsi (Imperial Music Bureau)...
Chapter 12 The Shock of the Top Second Generations: The Useless Young Master Zhou!
Outside the Plum Blossom Pavilion in the Jiaofangsi (Imperial Music Bureau).
The night was deep, and the hazy moonlight shone on this bustling yet turbulent place.
As Wei Changxuan's power suddenly surged, it was as if an invisible storm swept out from his body.
The terrifying energy fluctuations, like a surging tide, instantly enveloped the five or six henchmen of Young Master Zhou in front of him.
A muffled "thud" sounded particularly abrupt in the quiet night.
In an instant, these thugs felt a terrifying force surging towards them, as if a towering mountain had crashed down on them.
The immense pressure relentlessly crushed their bodies.
In an instant, their bones were crushed to pieces like fragile, withered branches.
Mouthfuls of blood gushed uncontrollably from their mouths.
His body fell heavily to the ground like a kite with a broken string, barely breathing.
The signs of life vanished rapidly under this powerful force; he could only exhale, not inhale.
After all, these are ordinary people who haven't even reached the ninth rank.
Faced with Wei Changxuan's powerful pressure of cosmic energy, they were like ants, utterly powerless to resist.
"you……"
Young Master Zhou had just managed to utter a single word, his voice filled with terror and disbelief.
However, before he could finish speaking, Janet behind Wei Changxuan had already made her move.
Janet, as a high-ranking warrior, possesses formidable strength.
She can unleash a terrifying 32 tons of force with a single punch, and her speed can reach an astonishing 180 meters per second.
With a flash, she appeared behind Young Master Zhou like a black lightning bolt streaking across the night sky.
Immediately afterwards, a terrifying force containing boundless power surged out and directly affected the limbs of the young man in brocade robes.
In an instant, Zhou Gongzi's limbs felt as if they had been struck by a heavy hammer, his bones breaking one after another. The excruciating pain of the comminuted fractures twisted his face into a grimace.
"what……"
The mournful wail was like a sharp blade, instantly piercing the night sky and echoing throughout the Plum Blossom Pavilion.
At this moment, inside the courtyard, a group of top-tier second-generation officials, who were usually pampered and of noble status, were gathered.
They were sitting together, enjoying the uniquely luxurious atmosphere of the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment district).
Inside the attic, several graceful dancers were performing a seductive dance.
Fu Xiang, the top courtesan, is playing music behind a sheer curtain.
However, at this moment.
