Lin Mu's ears perked up after hearing that Lord Cai was threatened. To be honest, he had not expected it to be something like this. From what Lin Mu had seen and experienced till now the Gu Legion usually killed their foes directly instead of threatening.
Still, this did not lift Lin Mu's suspicion and he wondered if Lord Cai was lying to save his own hide.
"What exactly happened, tell us in detail." The senior brother asked.
"Well, as Seniors know my Alluring Wisteria pavilion is the top most pleasure pavilion in the county and thus makes a decent amount of revenue. Not only that, but due to our clientele, we also have some good connections. This is what the Gu legion desires.
They were threatening me to give them half of the share of the Alluring wisteria pavilion, that too without any payment; The audacity! They threatened me with dire consequences and even acted on it a while ago. Some of my servant girls have disappeared in the past few weeks.
We were unsure of it as servant girls do run away from time to time, but this was far too many of them. Still, as long as it's just servant girls I'm fine with it, they're easily replaceable. But what I cannot bear are my courtesans. These women have been trained for a long time and a lot of resources have been poured into them.
As you must have seen, all of our courtesans are fifth stage of the body tempering realm and above. This allows our more affluent clientele such as cultivators to freely enjoy them. Any weaker and the women would break from time to time. Thus you can see the costs.
Still, tonight when I saw the thief that appeared in my House I think he was one of the members of the Gu legion. His clothes were the same as the ones that they wear, but the mask he wore was a bit different. I thought that the Gu legion finally could not hold back and sent someone to assassinate me.
But seeing that the thief spared all of my servants and guards, I'm not so sure anymore." Lord Cai explained.
The three disciples were lost in thought after hearing everything and could make sense of it after a while. It was obvious why the Gu legion would want the place as it would provide them with a lot of money for their operations.
"Did you talk to the city mayor about this?" The senior brother questioned.
"Yes, I spoke with mayor Wu Xun the very day it happened. He was concerned too and sent guards to look over the place. But after a few weeks, the disappearances still occurred and they could not find any proof. The guards are still assigned here and you must have seen them on the streets." Lord Cai answerer.
Lin Mu remembered that he had seen the guards outside. It was one of the reasons why he was traveling over the roofs. Thankfully, there were barely any guards on the roof at nighttime. The Senior brother hummed in agreement but had a frown on his face.
"So this is why you want the peak master to invest in this Establishment? For our protection?" the senior brother asked.
"Yes… that was indeed one of the reasons. The city mayor does not have the same power that the peak master does and I believe under the eye of the seniors such as you all, this place would be safe. Of course, this is not without benefits.
All the Ladies here are open to your use as much as you want." Lord Cai said with a shameless tone.
"Alright, then. I'll talk with the peak master over this, but know that this is not a guarantee that he'll approve." Senior brother said.
"Of course, that's a give. It is up to the peak master to make the final decision, I'm merely a helpless old man with a small business." Lord Cai bootlicked.
~Chuckle~
Pei Lao and Tie Dan let out a chuckle, and Lin Mu almost did the same after hearing Lord Cai's words.
'What old and helpless? Who was fighting with vigor two hours ago?' Lin Mu scoffed.
"Since we're done here, we will not bear on you anymore. We need to report back to the elder." Senior brother said.
"Thank you for willing to listen to me Seniors," Lord Cai said while cupping his hands.
He then removed the formation that was covering the room, and all of them left one by one.
~Phew~
"Finally they're gone…" Lin Mu muttered and sank back into the ground.
A few seconds later, he appeared in the room he was assigned and looked around.
"Seems like no one came here, thankfully." Lin Mu said to himself before entering the bedroom.
He kneeled beside Yue, who was unconscious on the bed. Her robes were tilted to one side, revealing her shoulders and the deep valley on her chest. Lin Mu stared at her for a few seconds before deciding to leave.
He left the room and walked to the counter where he had seen the old fat lady.
"Oh, Young Lord is there a problem?" The madam questioned.
"I'm leaving now, what do I need to pay?" Lin Mu started directly.
"Why, young lord, did our ladies not satisfy you?" The madam asked with concern.
"I believe you can ask this to them." Lin Mu said before continuing, "now what do I need to pay?"
The old woman gulped after seeing the demeanor of Lin Mu. She had known that he was a cultivator too, and a strong one at that. It was quite obvious that he seemed to be angered as well.
"Young lord, there is no need for you to pay if you have not been satisfied. I just hope that you will give us a chance again in the future." The madam said in a courteous tone.
Lin Mu simply nodded and walked outside of the building and went to his courtyard.
After he was gone, though, the madam had a serious look on her face.
"GET ME YUE!" She shouted.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
