210 Seeking an Audience (1/2)

Shangguan Ru's threat about teaching the Wei father and son a lesson was merely due to a slip of her tongue. Although the Governor was an insignificant figure, the Central Plains that he represented was colossal. This piece of information was undoubtedly known to the Tenth Young Master.

If it were not for Wei Lingmiao doing something so outrageous, she would have lost her patience.

The philandering Young Master Wei Lingmiao came to the Stone Castle from tens of thousands of miles away. He did not fancy any of the famous prostitutes in South City; instead, he had fallen for the Tenth Young Master. As if he was obsessed, he had sent presents every day to ask her to grant him an audience. This matter was somehow leaked and was quickly spread throughout the city.

”You mean the Stone Castle's Tenth Young Master? The leader of the Leviathan Society? That little devil that kills people without blinking an eye? The Overlord that owns half of the businesses in South City? Please stop joking around.”

This would had been people's initial reaction.

”It can't be wrong. Why don't you go to to the front gate of the Leviathan Society and see for yourself? Boxes upon boxes of gifts, all the treasures are from the Central Plains. It's a shower of gold, you know? A shower of gold! Even if you gather all of the famous prostitutes in South City together, they wouldn't even be worth this price.”

The person who spoke these words one day had their tongues cut off. Since then, no one dared to compare the Tenth Young Master to prostitutes.

That day when Wei Lingmiao personally came to visit the Tenth Young Master in South City, many onlookers followed him and were blocking the entire street. Everyone praised in their hearts that this Young Master Wei was truly one of a kind in this world. He had a daring passion and a unique taste. He actually fell in love with not just a female killer, but also the leader of killers.

The people still remembered the last person who had fallen in love with the female killer. What happened to the Meng's Fifth Young Master wasn't worth anyone's envy. Not only did the women who loved him all died, but also a large sum of money had been squandered away. The money even somehow ended up paying for the wedding dress for the Shangguan family's twins.

Young Master Wei's appearance and demeanor were many levels higher than that of Meng Mingshi; therefore as he arrived on horseback, he was greeted with a commotion of praise.

The guards held the people back and pushed the dense crowd apart to form a narrow passage.

Wei Lingmiao did not care about the crowd's gazes and indications. With a pensive smile on his face, he behaved as if he was strolling through the courtyard of his own home. His dismount from his horse was as smooth as floating clouds and as natural as flowing water, prompting cheers from the crowd.

A personal servant entered to announce his arrival.

The gatekeepers were shocked by Young Master Wei's demeanor as they stared at each other uneasily and their smiles became strained.

Soon, the personal servant was kicked out.

His whole body was forcibly rushing towards Wei Lingmiao at the gate, one of the gatekeepers reached out and pushed the concealed human figure away, allowing the servant to land safely and then immediately withdrew.

Wei Lingmiao knocked the fan into the palm of his hand with a sigh before raising his voice and shouted, ”Tenth Young Master, an old friend has come for a visit, why not come out and meet me?”

Shangguan Ru held a saber with a dissatisfied expression. Under the deterrence of Maid Lotus, she did not charge out to slay him. This Young Master Wei was indeed a scoundrel. Brazenly arriving without prior notice, it was as if she was the one waiting for his arrival.

Gu Shenwei went out to order the machetemen to drive the onlookers away and to persuade Wei Lingmiao to leave. ”The Tenth Young Master can't meet with any guests today. Young Master Wei, please pardon us.”

A small setback could not sway Young Master Wei. ”Report this to the Tenth Young Master: From now on, I'll come tomorrow and every day after.” Then he vigorous winked at the killer, as if there were some tacit secret.

Young Master Wei left, but Shangguan Ru's rage did not diminish. She finally made the resolution to punish this womanizer.

The next day, Wei Lingmiao came again. This time, the front gate was tightly shut; even servants were refused entry.

Leaving his gifts at the door, Wei Lingmiao left with a sigh.

For five consecutive days, Young Master Wei came every single day. Although there were fewer and fewer onlookers, he became more and more spirited; and even his gifts were becoming more and more unique. One evening, he also hired a fireworks performance; even those who were located at the top of the Golden Roc Fort towers could see it.

On the sixth day, Young Master Wei did not show a disheartened expression, but he felt that his life was becoming somewhat tedious and some adjustments needed to be made.

Aside from the Tenth Young Master, which other women in South City were worthy enough for Wei Lingmiao to visit them in person.

There was only one.

Not anyone could just summon South City's top prostitute and treated her like smoke in the air.

Pleasure Alley has never forced anyone to stay. The prostitutes were regularly rotated in and out; even those who became famous were forgotten. Only Xiao Fengchai had been standing firm as the most famous for the longest time. She also became the leader of the cosmetic community within Jade City.

Those who never had the chance to see Xiao Fengchai would often say, ”that prostitute was just ordinary, and she isn't very young anymore. If it wasn't for the Meng family's investments, who would line up for her services? Fame is hard to achieve alone.”

After hearing such words, those who had seen Xiao Fengchai always sneered with a sense of superiority and held their heads high as they took their leave; behaving in an aloof manner in front of their peers.

Wei Lingmiao had met with Xiao Fengchai before. The last time he visited the Jade City, he had stayed at Xiao Fengchai's home for ten days, becoming the man who stayed with her the longest. You should know that Xiao Fengchai picked her guests. If she disliked you, even if you offered a fortune, you could only sit with her for a chat and to drink tea; wanting to stay any longer was dependent on one's nature.
