Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!
Chapter 1067 - 567: Barley and Miss Shishi, Hidden Feelings, Midnight Vampire, Could He Really Be a Genius?_2

"Unfortunately, Young Master Li had already played this trick a few days ago. The great poet didn't take the bait, so it seems, Young Master Yi, that you've miscalculated today. What gift have you prepared for the great poet?"

Standing just outside the Central Brothel's fence, at this moment a middle-aged man with a green turban cast a glance at Yi Chen exiting and mockingly jeered with a sense of schadenfreude, his words lacking much respect.

According to Flower Pavilion's rules, those who are allowed into the Central Brothel are all affluent customers who've splurged thousands at the Flower Pavilion, undeniably VIP big brothers.

For the real pillars of the stage, the masters who can perform in the Central Brothel, one absolutely cannot afford to be as vulgar as other brothels.

Even exchanging jade coins for flower baskets and then coolly displaying those baskets is extremely vulgar, reeking of money!

Therefore, the Flower Pavilion ingeniously adopted an invitation system.

Without spending a certain number of Yuanzi at the Flower Pavilion, one doesn't even qualify to enter the Central Brothel.

After entering, there are no vulgar operations like flower baskets that reek of money. Such actions are simply a desecration of the masters' stature within the Central Brothel, as if the masters were here to solicit, so to save face, the bleeding happens when leaving the Central Brothel.

After the masters perform, as the affluent guests leave, out of gratitude, they naturally can leave behind a token of thanks.

This token can be jade coins or could be precious personal belongings, antiques, calligraphy and painting; the entire token is recorded and presented for the masters to review.

If his former self, Young Master Yi, hadn't coolly splurged Yuanzi in the Flower Pavilion, Yi Chen wouldn't have been eligible to enter the Central Brothel without splashing out gold coins today.

But Yi Chen has no plans to come to the Central Brothel again in the future. Seeing as even the Three Corpse Primordial Spirits aren't buying it, why should he, Yi Chengzi, splash Yuanzi?

Right now, Jade Coins are his, Yi Chengzi's, lifeblood!

"Young Master Yi, what gift do you plan to give to the great poet?"

"Jade Coins will do, treasures are also fine, your intention in the end will all be presented to the great poet for review!"

Seeing that Yi Chen made no move, the green-turbaned turtle hurriedly urged him on, dipping his brush in ink on the tip of his tongue three times, ready to record.

Then, to his ghost-seeing shock, a handful of mostly eaten roasted barley was passed in front of him.

Glancing back over his shoulder, Yi Chen's eyes flashed, and he had an idea.

"What is this supposed to mean, Young Master Yi? Are you mocking the great poet and our Flower Pavilion?"

"You fool, this is a treasure, worth a fortune. The great poet will certainly like it. Just go ahead and make a note of it."

Stuffing the roasted barley and its straw into the green-turbaned turtle's arms, Yi Chen promptly strutted away.

Giving money was out of the question; the only thing Yi Chen could offer was his best wishes.

An hour later, led by Yang City's top four young masters, a group of 'patrons' who had just enjoyed a grand event made their way to the exit, full of chatter and laughter, a vibrant scene of robust vitality and competition.

Some talked about how exquisite Miss Shi's guqin skills were, while others mentioned Yi Chen who had left early.

As if they had found a common enemy, a crowd began to verbally attack Yi Chen, with flattery being the gentlest of terms, and all sorts of unspeakable words spilling forth.

The most vitriolic amongst them was an old man.

Who else could this person be but Wu the Scholar? It was because of Yi Chen that he didn't get to push upfront to enjoy the 'music' properly.

Seeing the record left by Yi Chen on the name list, a great surprise fell upon Young Master Li at the head of the queue, and immediately he burst into roaring laughter:

"Gentlemen, come and see what has become of the once wealthy and swaggering Young Master Yi?"

"First, he leaves early like a clown, and now he is stingy enough to give the great poet a handful of roasted barley. Haha, it's downright unfilial. It seems the Yi Family really is running short on provisions. Such a character is no longer one of our peers."

"It's a pity that the great poet with her stunning guqin talents has been insulted by such trash today. Well, this young master will set an example for the great poet!"

"I offer..."

"Everyone quiet down, I wonder what thank-you gift Young Master Li is giving the great poet? Is it Jade Coins, or treasures?"

The green-turbaned turtle was overjoyed at this moment. If the thank-you gift was sufficient, he could also share some of the benefits afterward. Therefore, he immediately flashed what he considered to be his most amiable and flattering smile towards Young Master Li.

Today was a done deal!

As the green-turbaned turtle looked on expectantly, Young Master Li reached into his carrying pouch,

"I will give..."

"What will the young master give?"

"Fuck your mother, where did my carrying pouch go! There's a thief at the Flower Pavilion!"

As if someone had grabbed him by the throat, the ugly face of Young Master Li twisted in an instant, making his already unimpressive looks even worse!

"What? What's this now? In Yang City, someone dares to be so audacious, to steal even my money pouch, is there no law left? No rules at all? Such a pity, today Young Master Li is going to disappoint the literati, damn it, my money pouch is gone too."

Seeing Young Master Li embarrassed, the young master of the Qian Family wanted to suppress his joy and put on a show, then he reached into his pocket, only to instantly turn pale.

"Damn, my jade pendant, that's a family heirloom, worth at least ten Red Jade Coins, it took me so long to grind my father down before he let me wear it. I'm done for, I'll definitely be beaten to death when I get home!"

Soon after, another victim began screaming in agony, sitting on the ground and crying bitterly, with an extremely delicate expression, and even his crying was done with a dainty finger gesture.

Their sobs were plaintive and mournful, full of longing and grief, moving the listeners to sadness and tears.

However, at this moment, no one had the mood to laugh at Young Master Zhu's misfortune, as their valuable belongings had also disappeared.

Seeing what had happened, Turtle in the Green Turban's face immediately went pale, and he couldn't help but plunge his hand into his chest pocket. Forgetting the sorrow that today's profits were gone, he immediately joined the chorus of wails.

In the crowd, only his cries rang out the loudest.

For others, losing a bit of money was just a 'small hiccup' in life, not even a hiccup really, as their family background assured they could easily fill such a pit,

But for him, the big teapot, these were hard-earned savings accumulated over more than twenty years through flattering and bootlicking, his personal money for old age and emergencies!

"Wailing, I can't live like this! There's a thief, no, a great thief amongst us! We must catch that damned thief!" the big teapot wailed at the top of his voice.

For a moment, the entire Flower Pavilion was thrown into chaos.

——

"Woohoo, jackpot!"

"Thanks to the blessed glory of Young Master Li for sponsoring me with one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, seven Red Jade Coins, so generous!"

"Thanks to the blessed glory of Young Master Qian for temporarily lending me a fine jade and twenty-eight Green Jade Coins, not bad at all!"

"...."

"Thanks to the foul-mouthed teapot bro, sponsoring me with one Red Jade Coin, eight Green Jade Coins, really knows how to save, is being a big teapot so lucrative?"

"Hehehe!"

In the Yi Mansion, a burst of wild laughter suddenly erupted from the bedroom!

There is no doubt about the theft at Flower Pavilion; it was Yi Chen's work.

As the saying goes, mistresses are not as good as wives, and petty thievery is not really stealing!

He, Yi Chengzi, the Great Qin State Master, could this be considered stealing?

Definitely not easy, certainly not!

This was clearly a financial maneuver used by Yi Chengzi.

It's an ancient skill that moves money from others' pockets to one's own!

This is called financial logistics!

Who cares if a cat is white or black, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat. A bunch of young aristocrats, the Seven-Star Ladybugs, their money is dirty and must be cleansed.

Looking at the rising Deep Red Points, a smile of pleasure instantly crawled across Yi Chen's eyebrows.

Today's sheep were just too many and too rich, each with considerable value, flaunting treasures everywhere.

This was just too much, Yi Chen was to act for justice today.

With a call of "Deep Red," Yi Chen's True Technique broke through again in an instant, crossing the major threshold of the Nine Layer Realms, edging closer to the breakthrough of the Tenth Layer.

As long as he gets rid of the loot in hand, it'll undoubtedly be achieved.

"Yingyingying, such kind-hearted people!"

Suddenly, the gates of the Yi Mansion started rattling loudly, and after tidying up, Yi Chen opened the mansion door.

Facing the surging crowd outside, Yi Chen immediately turned pale!

"Gentlemen,"
