Chapter 40: Chapter 40 Do You Like Mature Women?

"Pfft~"

Couldn’t hold it in.

The smile at the corner of his mouth simply couldn’t be suppressed, which undoubtedly made someone’s face even darker.

Ever since Lu Luo acknowledged in front of so many people that she had spent the night with him, the vinegar jar at home seemed to have been hit by a heavy punch from Sima Guang.

It has made a big hole in the jar that couldn’t be plugged.

From Jiang Feng’s perspective, it’s naturally the young girl feeling jealous. He had already explained himself clearly, but still made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

However, Lady Yan herself didn’t think much of it. She used to come daily because Jiang Feng was in the recovery phase of his body refining, and she visited every now and then. Now that he’s recovered enough to visit brothels,

What’s the point of her coming every day? After all, they aren’t even married yet.

But Su Yi didn’t continue to tease. She truly liked Jiang Feng’s personality—serious when needed, humble when appropriate, and not one to puff up his face to look fat (i.e., put on a false front).

Hmm, quite a modest young master.

"Young Master Jiang, Lady Yan’s character is witnessed by all in Qingshui County. Su Yi doesn’t think she is particularly angry, she just wants you to make a clear statement of your attitude."

A tremor on his shoulder.

This "attitude" clearly reminded Jiang Feng of some terrifying deep memories, as a series of arranged date experiences flashed by. The last time he heard this word, it was during a blind date back home in the previous life, where the girl’s family asked for an 880,000 yuan dowry and to add her name to the property title.

They just wanted an "attitude," to prove her place in your heart.

But then Su Yi continued: "Lady Yan certainly lacks nothing, so she probably only needs a sincere attitude from you. I think you don’t have to worry too much about what gifts to bring to apologize."

"Whatever you give, she will like it."

Sigh of relief.

This also made Mr. Jiang feel fortunate. Although the marriage arranged by the old man might not be pure, the girl is genuine.

He beckoned the young man with his fingers, signaling him to follow; after all, it wasn’t his first time here and he naturally knew that visiting the Ethereal Violet Pavilion still required following procedures, it being the most legitimate and largest brothel industry in the area.

The necessary protocols still need to be followed.

"But Young Master Jiang, although Lady Yan lacks nothing, a gift of apology still signifies one’s sincerity."

"Though visiting a brothel might be a trivial matter, this time it has somewhat caused Lady Yan to lose face. Recently, people have been openly criticizing you over tea and meals, so you really should offer a proper apology."

"The more thoughtful and exquisite the gift, the more joy it will bring to the receiver’s heart. I’m not wrong, am I?"

Nodding like a pecking chicken.

"I’ve learned my lesson, Sister Su Yi."

He didn’t know why, even though he came for matters related to cultivation, he ended up discussing with Su Yi how to coax a girlfriend.

But for Jiang Feng, this area was truly a challenging market. If he was truly good at courting, he wouldn’t have been dragged to blind dates in his last life. Hearing the address "Sister Su Yi," Su Yi also revealed a very charming smile.

Obviously, after assisting him on the rainy night and providing false testimony the next morning, Jiang Feng had come to regard her as one of his own, starting to drop his guard, which was definitely a good thing for her.

"Um... Let me give Young Master Jiang a little advice. I remember seeing a few of the Yan Mansion’s house servants shopping on West Street a few times."

"They were buying some pastries and such, which didn’t seem like the kind of food a man would enjoy."

"Perhaps you could start from here."

Somehow, the two transitioned from one following the other to walking side by side. Just by height, the seventeen-year-old Jiang Feng was now a good half-head taller than Su Yi, and soon they found themselves at the familiar doorway but...

Both were taken aback.

Because the sign at the door was turned around.

"Ah!"

"How cruel these masters are, Lu Luo is almost beaten to death by you all, boo hoo."

"Boo hoo hoo~ Please spare Lu Luo, masters. How can Lu Luo’s small body endure the torment of you all, boo hoo hoo..."

Silence.

The two at the doorway exchanged glances.

Even through the thick door panel, one could hear Lu Luo’s voice feigning fear and full of excitement—sometimes shrill, sometimes deep, sometimes pleading, and sometimes...

Well, it seemed like some special play was going on inside.

And it sounded like there was more than one person involved.

Even Su Yi had to cough awkwardly and naturally grab Jiang Feng’s firm and strong wrist to walk back to the main hall.

"This girl sure is diligent; I just went to take a bath and she’s already pulled in another customer..."

She couldn’t help but mutter a few complaints to herself.

She hadn’t expected the dead girl to be so eager, ushering people in and then taking on another customer right on their heels?

However, Mr. Jiang’s expression was slightly odd, not because of Miss Lu Luo’s fondness for special games.

But rather.

"Could it be she’s avoiding my business on purpose?"

The words of that lady of the night from last time were still vivid in his memory.

Returning to the counter, her hand still clasping Jiang Feng’s wrist, the two appeared somewhat intimate, which inevitably sparked discussion among the group of girls upstairs waiting for customers.

After all, they had never seen Mother Su Yi get so close with a young man; could it be she had finally come to her senses and wanted to try something new?

But Su Yi, after all her years in the business, quickly broke through the awkward atmosphere by simply releasing her grip, speaking softly, "Since Lu Luo is with a client, we’d better not disturb. How about this, Young Master? Why don’t you choose a different girl today? You can take your pick from anyone here. What do you say?"

Pausing for a moment and feeling the intense stares around him, Jiang Feng could only offer a wry smile. He knew full well that Su Yi’s public inquiry was meant to avoid suspicion, but he honestly hadn’t come here just to sleep with someone.

He was here to learn how to use those Body Refining herbs and to gain some knowledge about cultivation. Surely a disciple from an Immortal Sect would know more than the likes of Wang Qi, who only had half-baked knowledge, right?

"This... How about I come back another day?"

He sighed.

He hadn’t expected to come up empty-handed today, but even with his impatience, he couldn’t possibly barge into someone’s room, drag the customer off Lu Luo, and then take his... No, that’s wrong; he couldn’t let someone else begin the lesson.

Seeing the urgency in the young man’s eyes, Su Yi seemed to understand something.

Her own Ethereal Violet Pavilion was a huge center of information and wealth accumulation, and she was naturally aware of the recent events, understanding Jiang Feng’s current predicament.

Indeed, Peak Master Liu hadn’t left her with any instructions before departing, but he had taught Jiang Feng swordsmanship.

This approach was quite typical of Liu Tangxi—colloquially known as ’free-range teaching.’

I’m just responsible for teaching, not for managing. I don’t regard you as a disciple. If troubles arise, it’s due to your own actions; it’s up to you to resolve them.

"They want to kill you; what’s that to me? It’s not like I’m the one trying to kill you."

Well, Liu Tangxi’s way of mentoring was quite unorthodox, which was why she still had no formal disciples to this day.

But now, considering Jiang Feng’s talent and intelligence, she couldn’t help feeling it would be a pity if he died in this small place—after all, he was half a disciple of the Peak Master. By reason and emotion, she felt she should lend a hand.

Jiang Feng, of course, was unaware of Su Yi’s thoughts and simply made a polite gesture to leave. But just then, Su Yi called out to the young man who was about to depart.

"Then how about this, I... May I recommend someone for you, Young Master?"

"Ah?"

He was stunned.

Full of surprise.

Su Yi surely knew his purpose, but she still offered to recommend someone? Could it be that there was a third cultivator within the Ethereal Violet Pavilion?

His face showed astonishment, but the beautiful woman in front of him simply brushed her temple hair aside, her rouged lips slightly curling upward in a seductive smile that made Jiang Feng’s heart race a bit faster.

"It’s just that I’m not sure if this mature lady of certain years will be to the Young Master’s taste."
