Why The Need For Proof?
The pi had e He ran up to Chengfeng and walked alongside him He said with a forced s, let bygones be bygones”
Chengfeng mulled over the pimp's words, but he re saide, spacious garden behind the court The garden had swings, gazebos, ponds, and even a little bridge
Chengfeng re lady, enjoyed a little bit of fun?”
The pihter, “Our Lady may seeet to know her better once you start talking to her”
Qiu Liansheng quipped, “Oh yes, we'll get to know her very well”
Although the pi, his face made no indication of it He coyly remarked, “I'll let you in on a little piece of information, ever since Miss Zhixin's cre about you”
Liansheng laughed, with barely disguised horniness, “Oh brother, looks like you have a chance to really 'get to know' her tonight!”
Both Liansheng and the pi's joke But the pi too heartily, for it hurt his injured ear
The three of theroup of people can be seen drinking, conversing, and surrounded by entertainers and courtesans One of the people were dressed simply, as if they were servants, but they looked as if they carried thehly and confidently Some of the people also looked like scholars, who seeed to curry favours with solit jade folding fan and yelled, “One hundred and fifty taels!”
The entire hall roared and cheered
Chengfeng was shocked His eyes ide and jaws dropped 'One hundred and fifty for drinks and entertainment? Who the hell is this?'
This was too much Five silvers alone could sustain a small family's expenditures for a month To spend one hundred and fifty on drinks and entertainment, it was unheard of
The pihts, “The young , the one with blue sleeves, that's Zhou Qingyang”
Chengfeng's eyes darted towards the uards ere built like towers, stood a young, slender man He wore a fine, blue robe, with an expensive fan in hand He looked handsoalness around him
Although Chengfeng was secretly fu his next move
Themaster barked his order, all the otherand entertainment wouldn't cost more than twenty or thirty silvers For this idiot to yell out one hundred and fifty silvers, it was absurd This person had too much money to spend!
The hall was thrown into an excited discussion But it was quickly interrupted by a beautiful piano melody which came from the floor above The crowd turned their attention towards the melody They sa open, and perched on the as a maiden of exquisite beauty She was beautifully done up and dressed, but theabout her were her eyes which shi+ned like a pair of crystals Her stare see the crohoh
The hter, “Hah! I dare say there's no such woman who doesn't love money! Come to daddy and show me the way!”
The handmaiden above shot back, “Hmph, who cares about your money? I've seen better!”
“Then why did you open the ?”
The handmaiden was incensed, and shot back with hands on her hips, “I opened theto see which toad would drool over the swan! Alas, it's just another toad: you!”
Those ahed at the handmaiden's remark
Zhou Qingyang's face was red with embarrassment He stepped forward to shout, “You little wretch, watch your words! Do you knoho I am?”
The hand and replied, “H? Now that Zhixin's dead, you can't wait to get yourself some fresh bosom?”
Qingyang was taken aback, “Zhixin and I were just friends, nothing else!”
Little Bell was enraged, “You can't fool me! Everyone else may not knohat you've done, but I sure as hell do!”
Qingyang laughed icily, “I, Zhou Qingyang, aent scholar who studied the texts of Confucius A prodigy of the literature and arts by thirteen, a national scholar by seventeen! What have I done that is so despicable? Care to share?”
As Little Bell was about to say soave her a little tug She turned to see who it was, and saw Liu Suhtly Little Bell had no choice but to s her words
Across Daqi, cultivators are highly regarded But the ones whopriests, it is the Circle of Scholars They wield a large chunk of the world's resources and influence the leadershi+ps and teachings of countries!
Had Little Bell said what she was about to say, who knoill happen to her if Qingyang reports this back to members of the Circle?
