CHAPTER 11 : OLD TALE : INCIDENT

The house didn't have many changes since the golden age started except for more varied customers from other localities visiting the red district for the beauties and music.

"Students from a famous school in Capital reserved seats for this night, they are sons of rich households so serve them properly okay?" The madam reminded the servants alongside Gu Yun and Zedong.

"Yes madam," they answered

"Also, some of my friends from the North just came down from the mountains to take a breathe, they told me in the letter that they have omegas in their group, omegas that have unstable pheromones so they reserved the big room on the third floor and requested that only betas could serve them since their omegas are sensitive to alpha scents."

"Yes madam." their servants are only composed of Alpha and Beta adding up Zedong who had an unknown identity since his body was altered by experiment.

"Okay that's it for the instructions, get back to work now."

Sundown came and the red street became bustling again as the beauties from the gate of the red house tries to attract customers.

The servants were already rushing back and forth all around the corners of the house as the entertainment night already started at the hall of the house.

Customers kept coming in while the intermission dance by several beautiful ladies started at the stage.

And it didn't take long when a bunch of good-looking men wearing blue robes signifying the famous school in the capital arrived. They came in a hurdle so the people inside had no choice but to step aside as they make way for them.

"Good evening gentlemen! Come come!" The madam herself greeted them personally since they all came from noble statuses. It's a rare thing on their cheap brothel.

The leading male student spoke, "We came here for Yu Yan's play." he corrected.

"Ah yes, of course! He'll be playing in a while so have a seat first my gentlemen." the madam responded.

They all sat on the center-most table, a spot that has the most accessible on the stage.

"There are a lot of good houses aside from here." one student commented

"Their beauty isn't even..." one had a disgusted expression as if he's an expert in seeing beautiful people.

One person who's close friends to the leading student who invited them said, "Of course we all know that but Fun Xi is only here for that musician."

Fun Xi had the most good-looking face among them but his face was serious and focused as his gaze didn't turn away from the stage as if waiting for one person to appear.

"He had grown some fetish on this so-called Yu Yan when he first heard him play here." his friend continued

"And that music is also beautiful among any beauties you saw! I bet on that!"

As soon as he said that, the lights went off on the stage, it's a signal that the main show will start and in just a moment a string of a zither was heard around the hall.

Slowly, the stage was illuminated by soft light focusing the white figure at the center of the stage. Yu Yan was playing the zither elegantly, his hair hanging down beautifully on his jaded shoulders clipped with beautiful hairpins, and his fair, slender fingers pluck the strings into a sound covering the audience's ears with good music.

And the night was always fulfilling with his music, he gained a lot of fans and admirers that kept coming back for more he even surpassed a lot of renowned beauties with just his beauty and talent.

The student named Fun Xi smiled mindlessly as he gaze at Yu Yan's ethereal figure, he respected and admired him the most the moment his eyes laid on him, and as soon as Yu Yan's finished playing, he immediately requested for Yu Yan's presence on their table.

Even though there's a policy that musicians can't be bought, however, they can still entertain customers by just talking and laughing.

Yu Yan was used to it but his expression was always cold and indifferent. He walked silently towards their table and bowed stiffly, "Greetings gentlemen."

Fun Xi was the most delighted and stood to give a seat for Yu Yan, "Uh, come, take a seat." he couldn't take his smile as he look at him but Yu Yan isn't that easy to please.

He just stood there and replied, "No thank you my good gentleman, but I am fine standing here."

"Ah, oh.." Fun Xi scratched his head

Seeing this, his friend stood, "My friend is inviting you to sit, is it that hard to understand?" his tone mocking

Fun Xi flashed a glare at him then turned to Yu Yan, "Don't mind him, don't mind him." he said in all comfort

"You bought a lot of money just for his presence here and do you think it's fair to have him act like a princess?!" his friend blurted in anger

"He just a stupid sl*t," he added

"Han Wu!" Fun Xi called him angrily but as soon as he spoke those words, water was splashed on his friend's clothes.

"WHAT THE..!!!" his friends were taken aback, they all stood and turned their heads just to see Yu Yan holding a cup from which the water came.

"First of all, you stink second, you all looked stupid." Yu Yan said and loudly placed the cup back on the table again and turned around.

Everyone in the hall heard and saw this but no one spoke of anything.

The first to recover was Han Wu who got splashed by the water, he gritted his teeth as he stared at Yu Yan's back and immediately walked forward, he took the kettle that contains hot water.

He threw the cover and thought, 'no one can humiliate me like this.'

And splashed, threw the hot water forward towards the figure however, one person blocked the water from Yu Yan.

"AH!!" one beauty shrieked when she saw that it's hot water that was thrown at a person.

Han Wu backed away when he finally snapped from his anger and saw that it wasn't Yu Yan who got splashed but a servant.

The servant's back who received the hot water trembled, his upper body was soaked but he managed to utter, "I-I'm okay." he said trying to ease the tension in the hall.

But Yu Yan was completely enraged, eyes shot wide-eyed as he saw Zedong's trembling figure covering him.

"A-Are you okay?" the man asked

Yu Yan's lips trembled, he got drops of hot water and knew how intensely hot the water is.

His temper suddenly reached its peak and stomped forward to take the cup and angrily hit the man named Han Wu, due to anger he exerted a lot of force and hit the man's head, the collision was hard and the cup broke while the man's head started to bleed.

Everything was swift that everyone didn't recover quickly including the madam who just arrived.

Han Wu touched his head and trembled when he saw blood, "B-B-Blood...! BLOOD!!" he screamed in fear.

"Yu Yan! Why did you do that!?" Zedong could barely move but he managed to pull Yu Yan's arm back.

Yu Yan knew what he was doing but he ignored the man's screams and turned to Zedong worriedly, "Are you okay?"

Zedong didn't know whether to laugh or cry but the pain on his back shoulders started to get sticky with the cloth.

Yu Yan immediately read the situation and gently dragged him away, "Let's deal with your wound first."
