Ainsley Bandeira

Trevon looked into a man in yellow sect clothes sitting alone with a lady. He didn't manage to find someone he knew. However, he believed he saw that clothes earlier this morning.

Since he didn't know anyone in the room. He aimed for a merchant who joined his family caravan. As a young master of McArthur family, Trevon wouldn't intentionally remember those merchants. Perhaps if the merchant was a beautiful lady, he would remember her.

Luckily, he remembered the clothes of the sect. While most merchants wore gold-colored clothes, this morning Trevon saw a sect joined their caravan. Their yellow robes were a huge difference compared to the merchants.

[Yes! I am sure I saw that robe this morning. I don't know how he could get a place. Hehehe.] Trevon forgot to quickly purchase a seat this morning. [I could only shamelessly force my way.]

"I know someone here." Trevon said to Angheli. He went to the familiar robe.

"Good night, Fellow Brother." Trevon gave the familiar brotherhood smile.

"Eh? Ah! You are Young Master Trevon." The man seemed to know Trevon. He stood and gave his palm and fist salute to Trevon. His voice wasn't deep, but the melodious tenor type. It was calm and gentle.

[Am I that popular? Hahaha.] Trevon was taken surprise. "Brother is…"

"Ah! My name is Ainsley Bandeira. I saw your performance last night. Your performance really moved the audience."

"So, you are Brother Ainsley. Could you share a seat with me? I am too late to book a seat." Trevon showed a big smile.

"Of course, it is my honor, Young Master Trevon. It is better to watch a performance with a friend." Ainsley invited Trevon to sit at his table.

Trevon saw Jesmond looked into his direction. Jesmond gave an unfriendly look to Trevon.

[What is his problem?] Trevon thought.

A beautiful lady was sitting next to Ainsley.

"Let me introduce you to my lady! She is Lo... I mean, Miss Loriena." Ainsley introduced a lady next to him. "This famous young master here is Young Master Trevon."

"No. I prefer Brother Ainsley to call me as a brother. Please do not think of me as a young master! That would make me uncomfortable sitting here. Hahaha." Trevon felt he should call something closer since he had asked for a seat.

The lady bit her lips a bit, but Trevon saw it.

"Loriena greets Young Master Trevon." Loriena didn't use brother to call Trevon. "Loriena also greets Sister Angheli."

Angheli nodded to Loriena. She still gave Loriena a smile, but it was forced.

From the way they called each other sister, Trevon knew that both were attendant in Dancing Night. However, it seems Angheli was a higher ranking than Loriena.

Loriena was a beautiful lady with a sweet smile who appeared around twenty-one years old. She had a sharp pointed nose with flawless skin. Her long hair was clipped with a beautiful phoenix hairpin. While her robe adorned her petite body.

Trevon didn't forget to scout the lady.

[Name: Lorient]

[Age: 43 Years]

[Sex: Female]

[Potential: 6/13]

[Affiliation: Dancing Night Pleasure House]

[She is a cultivator? Hm... That is why she could look young at that age.] Trevon thought.

Ainsley himself was similar to Trevon. He was a beautiful young man. The sect member had a long-pointed nose while his chin was sharp with a jade-like white skin. His hair was long and black like a night sky with a blue hairband tied his hair.

Trevon also couldn't avoid to scout Ainsley.

[Name: Ainsley Alesanto]

[Age: 38 Years]

[Sex: Male]

[Species: Human]

[Potential: 25/53]

[Determination: 90]

[Cultivation Speed: 86]

[Loyalty: 91]

[Decision Making: 63]

[Talent: Fighting - Sword, Poison Making]

[Affiliation: Holy Seaside Waterfall Sect]

[Eh? A potential Rank 3 warrior?] Trevon had many questions. [Wait! Why does he have a different family name?]

However, Trevon couldn't dwell on his thought. The performances on the stage brought him to the show. While the rising star couldn't put her audience into a trance as Isemeine, the rising star was a beautiful and charming lady.

[Name: Nicollet]

[Age: 16 Years]

[Sex: Female]

[Potential: 2/14]

[Affiliation: Dancing Night Pleasure House, McArthur Family]

After her performance, another talent auction conducted.

The night was competitive. This was especially for the ladies. A popular gentleman was the main performance that night. Trevon had to admit, he could sing and play music very beautifully.

Meanwhile, the competition for the rising star's performance was also competitive. Nevertheless, her dance couldn't reach the price of Isemeine's performance.

The first dance of Nicklea, the rising star stage name was taken by a private box customer for two thousand and five hundred spirit stones. Trevon didn't want to pay too much for a young lady and only joined the talent auction for fun. While Ainsley didn't compete at all.

"Why don't you put some small bid in the auction, Brother Ainsley?" Trevon asked Ainsley who was fed a cake by Loriena.

"No. I am not that talented to perform on the stage, Brother Trevon." Ainsley had started to accept using Brother to call Trevon.

"I will pay for you. Consider that as my meeting gift. I will win the next auction for you, Brother Ainsley." Trevon wanted to pay for joining the table and enjoyed the free foods. As a rich young master, he could gift a talent auction for a rising star. That was something the younger Trevon couldn't do.

"No. Thank you, Brother. I have Loriena here." Ainsley grabbed Loriena hand and kissed it. "She is the one that I need. All I need."

Loriena lowered her head when Ainsley said that. While her ear turned slightly red.

Trevon felt a bit speechless. [This handsome bro falls in love with an older lady? Ah! This is not my concern. I also love mature ladies. Hwehwehwe.]

"Hahaha! Let me congratulate, Brother Ainsley!" Trevon gave another salute to Ainsley. "Angheli, please bring me the best wine!" He ordered his attendant.

"Yes, Young Master Trevon." Angheli went to take a wine.

"Thank you! Hahahaha." Ainsley seemed happy. He also hugged Loriena. The lady acted annoyed with Ainsley but smiled.

Since the last winner was a VIP box patron, only some common musicians performed on the stage.

Trevon poured a wine to celebrate with Ainsley. As a guest, Trevon paid for some expensive wine for the table. He couldn't come empty-handed to a table.

"Cheer, Brother Ainsley!" Trevon raised his cup for Ainsley.

"Cheer, Brother Trevon!" Ainsley also reciprocated.

Both drank the wine while Loriena attended Ainsley with care. She slowly fed the sect member with the snack and cleaned his mouth from crumbs.

"Brother Ainsley, I believe I have seen your sect robe this morning in the caravan." Trevon opened a conversation.

"Yes, you are correct, Brother Trevon. Actually, I and my sect brothers planned to go to the capital joining your family caravan."

"Ah! Why do you want to go to the capital?" Trevon asked.

"I am a discipline of Holy Seaside Waterfall Sect. Have you heard about our sect, Brother Trevon?"

"Unfortunately, I haven't Brother Ainsley. I lived mostly on Bluestar." Trevon had to admit, his knowledge of the world was small. Only if a place had many beautiful girls, he would remember the place.

"Hahaha. That is normal, Brother Trevon. We are a small sect in the eastern part of the country. My sect master tasked me and my brothers to attend the big auction in the capital. Your family organized a big auction before the tournament. Our sect had some products to sell. I am in charge of the external shops. We have fresh water products..." The young merchant happily promoted his products to Trevon.

Trevon talked a bit with Ainsley while the rising star finally returned to the stage.

Another auction was performed, but Trevon lost again. The winner was another VIP box costumer.

Trevon wasn't interested to dance with some youngster. However, some elders from VIP boxes were looking for entertainment in the city. They spent a bit extra that night.

"Young Master Trevon, Young Master Ainsley, Loriena needs to prepare for that thing." Loriena excused herself.

"Ah! Fine. I will go with you soon." Ainsley nodded.

Trevon only smiled at the lady. He continued to drink with Ainsley while Angheli poured the wine for both young masters.

They talked about the performance for ten minutes before Ainsley looked into the clock. Angheli timed when she should talk during that time.

"I am sorry, Brother Trevon. I have something to do. Please excuse me too!"

"It is fine, Brother Ainsley!" Trevon took his time enjoying obtaining a table for himself. Master Rabbink freely took the foods on the table. Luckily, Trevon had transferred the other glutton to his universe before he came downstairs.

Trevon placed another bid for fun. He sat alone with Angheli on the table while looking at other patrons who went to walk outside while waiting for the next auction.

"Where is Ainsley?" Trevon asked himself. Ainsley hadn't returned from his short walk. [Is he getting a special service? Hwehwehwe.]

"Angheli had heard he wanted to pay for Loriena's debt from other girls." Angheli said.

"Purchase?"

"Yes. Young Master Ainsley had asked for Loriena's service this entire week."

"He must be enjoyed her service. Hwehwehwe." Trevon laughed. "When did they get close? I believe Loriena is older than Ainsley."

"I don't know, Young Master Trevon. Angheli only knew about this yesterday. Some people might find something special in a mature lady."

"How about your contract, Miss Angheli? I can pay it for you." Trevon smiled. He knew the reason Angheli irked by Loriena. She was jealous. Finding a good person was also a dream of those beautiful ladies. Ainsley was a handsome cultivator from his actions, Trevon believed Ainsley had fallen head over heels in love with the lady.

"Angheli's contract is too big. Angheli wants to reduce it myself first, Young Master Trevon. Angheli is very happy with Young Master offers." She rejected Trevon's offer while poured more wine to Trevon's cup.

Trevon drank another cup of wine. He knew that was a soft rejection from her. However, Trevon didn't feel too bitter. It was common for the girls to know their contract buyer carefully first. A good patron would guarantee their future, while a bad one would become a life disaster.

Trevon found Jesmond returned to his seat. He looked at Trevon's table. His gaze was unfriendly.

[When did he go? Also, what is his problem looking at me?] Trevon frowned. He drank another cup.

Angheli tried to talk and lifted the mood again. Trevon started to forget the annoying Jesmond.

A few minutes later, Ainsley came with a bright smile.

"I didn't miss any special performance, right?" He laughed.

"No. You didn't miss anything, Brother Ainsley."

The auction continued, but Trevon couldn't win anything again. The competition was difficult and the winner is the people in VIP Boxes.

"It seems I am not in the luck for today." Trevon said.

"How about I invited Young Master to a better place tonight?"

"Where is that?"

"The Arena."

"Arena?" Trevon felt a bit bored. "Wait! This is already midnight. Does the Arena still open?"

"Young Master Trevon must be new in Hillbridge. The Arena had already closed, but Hillbridge Arena is special. During the night, the arena will host a night market."

"Ah, that sounds great. Hahaha. Brother Ainsley seems to know about this place. Do you often visit Hillbridge?"

"No. I rarely stay in Hillbridge. I only come here if I have to sell things for my sect. Actually, I come from Goldcave City. It is the next city after Hillbridge. So, I know a bit about this neighbor city."

"Goldcave... Then, I will need Brother Ainsley's help to find the best place in Goldcave." Trevon smiled with a brotherhood smile.

"Ah, Hahaha. I actually don't update on such matter, Brother Trevon. I could tell Brother the best place, but I don't know the best ladies."

"You must also rarely visit Goldcave." Trevon assumed. Some sect members often stayed in the sect entire years, focusing on cultivation.

"No. You are wrong, Young Master. I always visit my family at least once every three months. However, I only have a bad memory of the place." Ainsley smiled bitterly.

"Oh! I am sorry." Trevon felt the atmosphere turned a bit sour. He poured a glass for Ainsley.

"No. It is not a problem. My story is well known in Goldcave. I can tell Brother Trevon a bit." Ainsley started to drink more wine.

"Is it about love?" Trevon thought.

"You are half correct, Brother Trevon. I am born from Alesanto family, but I am from the branch family." Ainsley drank more wine.

Trevon poured more wine for him, while a group of performers played on the stage.

"I love cultivation. You must know the feeling of a young kid, Brother Trevon." Ainsley poured some wine for Trevon too.

"Hahaha. Of course, I do." Trevon drank his cup. He also loved cultivation when he was young. The young Trevon even dreamed to beat Alvaro and even his grandfather, Douglas, one day. Similar to other young cultivators, he wanted to become a famous cultivator on the continent.

Trevon poured more wine into his glass. He needed the drink to remove a bad memory.

"..." Master Rabbink stopped clawing foods.

"When I was ten years old. I participated in a family tournament and managed to win the final." Ainsley drank another cup.

"You must be a chosen, Brother Ainsley." Trevon poured more wine for Ainsley. The two young masters had forgotten about the arena's night market.

"Hahahaha. I used to be. I still remember making a promise to sacrifice for the family. However, I was injured during a dungeon dive." Ainsley stopped. He poured some wine for himself and Trevon.

Trevon knew what that meant. A dungeon dive was a process of challenging a dungeon inheritance.

Angheli knew her position. She didn't disturb the two young masters and left the two to their drinking.

"Here is for you, Brother Trevon."

"Thank you, Brother Ainsley." It was easy for two drunk people to talk to each other. Both emptied their glass.

"What happened after your injury?" Trevon asked.

"It was nothing big. I needed to recuperate for a year. However, the family thought my growth would be affected. Nevertheless, my performance during my youth made some bigger families took a fancy in my potential."

"Erm... Isn't that a good thing?"

"It depends on your situation, Brother Trevon. In the end, I was engaged to a lady from Bandeira family."

"Is the girl beautiful?" Trevon asked.

"Hm... Yes, but I actually already had a childhood sweetheart back then." Ainsley said.

"Oh. I am sorry. That is bad then."

"No. It is ok. That is my situation. My lesson is, one should fight for the love, Brother Trevon." Ainsley drank. "Back then, I didn't have the capability to decide my future. I couldn't protect the one whom I loved." Ainsley drank more wine.

Trevon poured more wine. [Perhaps he felt lonely. Trevon came to watch the performance, but ended meeting a drinking friend.]

"I am useless. I agree with my engagement because I remember I have made a promise to my family."

"I know that. A promise worth a thousand in gold."

"Yes. A promise worth a thousand in gold." Ainsley gave a toast to Trevon.

"However, I regret that every day. I left my sweetheart and when I was eighteen years old, our engagement became a marriage. I married with a genius of Bandeira family."

"Our marriage was a connection marriage. It was the knot for my family connection as Bandeira's vassal family."

"At least, brother Ainsley got a beautiful wife, right?"

"Beautiful? Hahaha." Ainsley laughed. Trevon poured more wine for him. He sent a signal for Angheli who was waiting a bit further with other attendants to bring more wine for them.

"She is a beautiful genius princess, but I am from a vassal family. You can imagine my position."

"Oh!" Trevon knew. When a weaker man married to a powerful woman, she would be the family head. "You don't try to love her? Perhaps she would change."

"I have tried. However, I felt that I was only a slave in her eyes. While my status is her husband, my duty is doing missions for her. I think the family asked for a free mercenary. Perhaps a permanent gigolo!" Ainsley said. He drank more wine. "She dedicated her life to her cultivation and alchemist. There is no possibility of love between us. I have tried..."

"That is a bad life." Trevon drank his wine. [I will never allow this thing to happen to me.]

"Fortunately, I found a master who had a feeling for my talents. I became a member of the Holy Seaside Waterfall Sect. Under my master tutelage, I started from outer discipline until I finally became a core discipline. Probably after I reach Rank 2 in a few years, I could become an elder." He smiled before drinking another cup.

"Then, you have a wonderful story, Brother Ainsley." Trevon poured more wine.

"Well, I have bad memory every time I passed Goldcave to deliver product to the Capital."

"Is she still living in Goldcave?"

"Yes."

"Do you still meet her?"

"Once every three months whenever I have to deliver my sect product to the capital. My family still lives in a small village near Goldcave. I also still need to keep the Bandeira Family's face in the public, so I have to visit her. Now, I am a Bandeira after all. I only visited the village to clean my parents' tombs."

"This is a cup for you." Trevon poured more wine for Ainsley. He felt Ainsley turned a bit melancholy after he spoke about his parents.

"What about you, Brother Trevon? Do you have any girlfriend?"

"Hahahaha. I went to the capital to meet my fiancée, Brother Ainsley." Trevon laughed. The young master already confident with his chance.

"Congratulations to you, Brother Trevon!" Ainsley took his glass for a toast.

"I couldn't accept that. This is my first meeting with her."

"Sigh…" Ainsley sighed. "I hope you get a better girl than I do. As a member of a cultivation family, it is hard for us to reject our family arrangement after all the resources poured to us."

Trevon didn't know what to say. Ainsley's story made him a bit afraid. [She isn't a cold tigress, right?]

"Gwahahaha." The Rabbink laughed. It was enjoying the snack. Trevon had Angheli delivered lots of snacks for Ainsley's table because of the glutton Rabbink.

[Why are you laughing? Is it because of my fiancée?] Trevon felt even more afraid.

"My main body definitely picked the best girl available for you."

Ainsley saw Trevon's fear in his expression. "Do not worry! McArthur family is the strongest family. They would pick a good position for their descendants."

"I hope Brother Ainsley is correct."

A beautiful lady came to their table. She was Loriena in a new robe. Her new robe was simple and clean. The girl bought a bundle.

"Loriena is ready." She smiled with her brightest smile.

Ainsley smiled again. He hugged Loriena and kissed her on the forehead. "Let's go to the night market, Brother Trevon!"

"Hahaha. I think you would want to spend tonight with Lady Loriena." Trevon addressed the girl with a better status. She was no longer a pleasure house attendant.

"Ah. Hahaha. I actually planned to bring her with me to the night market. You should ask the girl who attends you. It is only a night walk." Ainsley said.

"No. Brother. Let us walk around other time! I am afraid I couldn't wake up tomorrow." Trevon politely rejected it. He also didn't want to be the noisy fly between these two people.

They parted away soon. Trevon drank more wine with Angheli before he returned to his family pavilion.

The troublemeter gifted him with a sudden rain. That rain removed the wine's effect from his head.

"Do you get enough information today?" Master Rabbink asked.

"What kind of information that I could get? The Debt Collector is a ninja." Trevon had read many novels in the fan-fiction category. Ninja and Pirate stories were very famous in the apps.

"A ninja?"

"I have read Ninja with clone technique in the novel to escape. That is similar to the Debt Collector. Actually, I don't think the Debt Collector rumor would get a beautiful girl's interest. Only people from city guards would want to hear it." Trevon complained.

"Erm... That is similar." Master Rabbink had to admit. "However, Debt Collector is not a ninja."

"Whatever! Let me borrow your tablet again! I haven't read many novels lately." Trevon couldn't wait to read. He was busy enjoying his freedom after staying in Redwood for two years.

He opened his novel and saw the new chapter was 41. [This is great. I have many chapters. Hahahaha.]

"What is this?" Trevon felt surprised with what he had read. The Rabbink freely slandering him during his absence to the Celestial Readers. He quickly made some defense on those reviews and comments.

At the same time, Master Rabbink was busy writing more chapters. [Gwahahaha. This is nice.] It just completed the first reader event. While the event failed to reach the target, but the result showed many readers whom it hadn't known before. I have to thank them, the Rabbink wrote in the author's notes.

Trevon continued to read his story, from the Rabbink's perspective. From the comment, he got an idea from a Celestial Reader called ZERO_PoP in Chapter 26 regarding Nana and Vonvon fight eight years later. [Hahaha. Yes. I should take some reward from the battle. Borrowing one of two feathers should be fine. Hehehe. Nana would be able to defeat Vonvon soon.] He couldn't wait for the fight.

[Grr... This doctor and Jerry are slandering me.] He read Chapter 27. He continued to read his past journey two years ago. However, he couldn't punish Jerry, Jack, and many random passersby since he was no longer in Redwood. Besides, he forgot those unimportant random passersby. There were many people around watching. [Lucky for them! I didn't remember these people.]

[Gah! This glutton Rabbink made a mess.] He read when he was told to take some chicken wings. He also read the time he met Aya and won against a Redwood chosen. [Hahaha. I am cool.]

Trevon continued to read several novels before he fell asleep.

[Hwehwehwe. I will practice a dual cultivation technique soon.] He imagined Yi Yun and Lin Xintong practices in True Martial World.
