Lift the white silk. Tang Luo commanded coldly.

-Yes, elder. Su Mei replied with a sob in her voice. She raised her head, her watery eyes already filled with tears, as she staggered towards Tu Tongs corpse, lifting the white silk.

Ah. She screamed in shock, falling to the ground in fear of the corpse, large

tear drops sliding down her terrified face.

If you shed a tear, Ill have you wash your face with tears every day. If you utter a cry, Ill make you mute for the rest of your life. Do you understand? Tang LUOS ruthless words echoed in the backyard, causing everyone to lower their heads in fear.

Su Mei, who was initially on the verge of crying due to fear, was so terrified that her courage trembled. She quickly put away her frightened expression, wiped away her tears, prostrated on the ground in a dignified manner, her shoulders no longer trembling.

Did you know him?

Yes, this humble girl knew him. Su Meis voice was as calm as a strangers, showing no trace of her previous anxious sobbing.

Who was he?

A patron from the past.

Shes lying!

Before Tang Luo could speak, Hua Ji pointed at Su Mei with uncontrollable

anger.

Hua Ji could hardly believe that such a treacherous woman existed in the world. Although Tang Luo and Tu Tong had seldom met, Hua Ji spent much time with him.

Tu Tong served as the regular patron due to his strength, while Hua Ji was suddenly promoted to a steward position. The intense insecurity made him cherish this opportunity and handle everything personally with great care. He was extremely diligent in attending to Tu Tong.

Because he knew who was protecting the safety of Star Pavilion.

Tu Tong, a simple man, had never experienced such flattery. Charmed by Hua Jis attentiveness, he regarded him as a confidant after some time.

Since the Star Pavilion was only open for a few hours each day, much of the remaining time was spent by Hua Ji and Tu Tong in the pavilion. Hua Ji, who came from a humble background, had excellent cooking skills. After closing time, he would cook a decent meal with some vegetables and meat, inviting Tu

Tong to join him.

Sometimes, male friendships are as simple as that. Share some meals with

meat, and you become friends.

And after half a year of company, two total strangers can become brothers.

The two men forgot their age difference and their status, and became close friends who shared everything. Although most of the time it was Tu Tong doing the talking.

He told Hua Ji that in his youth, he was beaten and bloodied over some trivial matters, which led him to diligently practice martial arts for revenge.

He told Hua Ji that after learning martial arts, because of his bravery and aggressiveness, he was injured by someone, leaving a sword scar from his left face to his right rib, nearly costing his life.

He told Hua Ji that a warrior who survived a deadly ordeal would not be afraid and would train harder, because he did not want to experience the helplessness at the edge of life and death again.

He told Hua Ji that he hadnt married till now, because the women who approached him for his warrior status looked at him with fear and terror in

their eyes.

He told Hua Ji that he finally found a woman who wasnt afraid of him, who gently stroked his scars and cautioned him to be careful with his missions.

He told Hua Ji that they were in love with each other and planned to have several chubby sons in the future.

He told Hua Ji that he wouldnt take dangerous missions anymore, because he didnt want his woman to worry.

He told Hua Ji that his employer paid him three years of salary in advance, allowing him to marry the woman ahead of time.

He told Hua Ji that apart from him, he had no other brothers, and that Hua Ji must attend his wedding.

He told Hua Ji that he was going to visit Tianxiang Building.

Lord Tu went to Tianxiang Building because of this woman and died because of this woman. And she dares to say that he was only a past patron, if this is not a lie then what is?

Hua Ji looked at Tu Tongs body covered by the white silk, his eyes red and filled with tears, his finger pointing at Su Mei was trembling, he was filled with anger.

Su Mei raised her head and looked calmly at the enraged Hua Ji, wanting to argue but remained silent.

-Do you have an explanation? Tang Luo asked Su Mei indifferently.

In response to your question sir, Lord Tu indeed was my benefactor, but he hasnt visited Tianxiang Building since half a year ago, so when I said he was a patron from the past, I meant it.

Hua Ji couldnt believe that the gentle and kind woman in Tu Tongs words was the same woman in front of him, he felt a raging anger and accused, Youre lying! Brother Tu said you two had eloped, that you would wait for him to buy your freedom! He also said you wanted to escape from this hell, that every day here was torment!

Again with the hell and torment, Fan Qings face darkened at the sound of these words, cursing in his heart. Had it not been for the fact that Hua Ji was brought by Tang Luo, he would have wanted to slap the young man to teach him what should and shouldnt be said.

AS the best brothel in Xiling, many girls failed to gain admission despite trying desperately. This was not only because Tianxiang Building was of high quality and well-known, but also because it catered to high-status guests such as warriors and wealthy merchants.

If they served these guests well and were promised a concubines status, they could transform from a mere chicken to a phoenix. However, in Hua Jis words, Tianxiang Building seemed to be depicted as hell.

Su Mei showed a cold smile but chose not to respond to Hua Jis words.

But her expression had already revealed everything to Tang Luo.

Of course, she had said such things, but which pleasure-seeker didnt want to hear nice words.

Phrases like youre so strong, youre so big, and in this life I will not marry anyone but you merely demonstrated the superior services at Tianxiang Building. It wasnt just about offering physical pleasure, but also making guests feel supreme, mentally and emotionally.

Hua Jis accusation may have been devastating to a lady of good family, but in this context?

Tang Luo glanced at the brothel matron who had led Su Mei in. She was hunched over, seemingly trying hard to suppress her laughter.

Then he looked at Fan Qing whose face was as dark as ink and wanted to retort. What more was there to not understand?

Su Mei was an excellent prostitute. It was Tu Tongs fault for taking her words seriously.

Although Hua Ji was angry, he was smart. Seeing the bizarre looks from the people around him, he felt utterly humiliated. Indignation made him yell at the others: What are you laughing at? What are you laughing at? Did I say something wrong? She made a promise with Brother Tu, shouldnt she keep her word? What are you laughing at, answer me!

Hua Ji had completely lost control of his emotions, unable to hold back his tears any longer, he pointed at everyone and demanded answers.

A hand landed on his shoulder. The angry Hua Ji turned his head to see Tang Luos sad face.

Master, I

Tang Luo patted Hua Jis shoulder, calming his emotions.

Hua Ji also realized his misconduct and walked towards the back of Tang Luo with his head bowed.

Tang Luo turned his gaze back onto Su Mei and said, So those words were just an act for the occasion.

Su Mei bowed respectfully and replied to Tang Luo, There are some things that this humble girl doesnt know whether should be said or not.

Speak.

This humble girl serves performers, pleasing guests.. If I give my true heart to every guest, then how many pieces would my heart had to be torn into?
