C029.... FLOWER LOTUS PAVILION

Within the palace.

A yellow-robed middle-aged man sat leaned against a wooden chair with Chess table placed before him. His gaze was deep and his wide forehead symbolized his profound wisdom.

Before the middle-aged man was a handsome man who bore a calm expression and restrained eyes – his cultivation was unfathomable, The prime minister and Ye Xiu father, Ye Wuhen.

The yellow-robed man was none other than the Emperor of Great Qin!

Emperor Qin.

Nearby the Emperor of Great Qin, a middle age man in black armor knelt on one knee. He had a dark face with a sharp gaze and was none other than the captain of the imperial palace guards who had just finished investigating the scene.

Wu Ruoqiu.

He went directly to the Emperor immediately he returned from the incident.

"A sword mayor? Are you certain?". The Emperor asked dignified. His eyes were stil fully concentrate on the chess board.

"Yes, i am certain, Your majesty; the murderer was a sword Mayor. Furthermore from our current investigation, it seems like the two sect master were together with the Evil Monk". Wu Ruoqiu replied.

He had have the two bodies investigated.

The Emperor expression didn't change, a white go was in his hands as he was intensely staring at the chess board.

The white go and black go at the chess board were evenly matched and were stalemate!

In the entire Great Qin kingdom, only Ye Wuhen would dare confront the Emperor without holding back. Moreover, Ye Wuhen attainment in Chess game was great and was par with the Great Qin Emperor.

"What did you think, Wuhen?". The emperor asked without lifting his eyes from the game. Ye Wuhen expression was indifferent before he replied immediately.

"Your Majesty, i prefer to be at the battlefield than to be cracking my brain or scheming". Ye Wuhen said straightforward.

"You are right. What's your family thought about the upcoming contest battle?". The Emperor suddenly asked.

Ye Wuhen eye's lid flashes for a moment..

"Although I'm not certain of top one, I'm certain my son will rank top five, regardless of the situations occurrence". Ye Wuhen said straightforward.

The Emperor chuckle a little.

"Oh, regardless?". "Why not top rank? With his attainment in sword, it shouldn't be difficult, right?". The Emperor asked with a smile.

Ye Wuhen wasn't surprised The Emperor knew about his son sword realm.

Ye Wuhen shook his head.

"His current sword attainment with his current cultivation realm isn't enough to rank top one". He replied.

Despite the two of them conversing, their eyes hasn't left the game.

At this moment, Wu Ruoqiu was sweating profusely and he was grumbling inwardly. Been with his majesty for a long time had made him understand his words a bit.

Even though they seem were just conversing; but what their words meant behind their words was shocking.

The Emperor first question about the upcoming battle was actually to pry Ye Xiu strength. Ye Wuhen reply means Ye Xiu strength is great and high.

The second questions meant the Emperor was suspecting Ye Xiu of been the murderer. Ye Wuhen reply mean although Ye Xiu realm is high, it still wasn't enough to kill the evil monk.

A really twisted parables.

****

The next morning, the news of the death two sect masters and a peak soul fountain went viral.

The soul fountain expert were overlord of a region and yet now three expert has been murdered within a night.

"How could it be possible to kill three soul fountain expert in a night, it's impossible. The news is false".

"Look at this. I witnessed the fight myself, the news wasn't false!".

"Yes! The disciples of both the windfall sect and divine bull sect were all in white clothes to mourn their sect master, so i said the news is real".

"I witnessed the sword attack last night. The attack was like a dragon god descending into the mortal worlds without hindrance".

At this moment in the Ye clan.

Liang Chen has been sweating profusely since this morning he heard the news. His heart has been beating and his body has been trembling like a notorious thief.

Among the five name he submitted to Ye Xiu, three had been murdered last night.

Is it a mere coincidence?.

Even though he wanted to believe it was a coincidence, he knew himself it can't be a coincidence.

People might not know Ye Xiu ability but he knew it.

Ye Xiu saw through Liang Chen dilemma's and merely smile dryly.

"The Flower Lotus Pavilion should be open by now?". Ye Xiu suddenly asked.

Liang Chen was driven out of his thoughts." Yes, Since the contest is tomorrow, the pavilion will surely opened today to receive guest". He replied, his expression turned strange as he glanced at Ye Xiu.

He had thought Ye Xiu was immune to something's, he had never thought Ye Xiu was also that kind of person.

Sure enough, Youth can't ignore the temptation.

A black line appeared on Ye Xiu face as he understand Liang Chen thought.

"You better erase all your stupid thought". Ye Xiu said as he led the way outside.

"Yes Young Lord, I understand". Liang Chen laughed.

After some minutes of walking, Ye Xiu and Liang Chen arrived before a huge three-storey building, a huge plaque was hang on top. From many miles away the pavilion had been crowded with people.

Without any hesitation, Ye Xiu and Liang Chen walked towards the entrance of the pavilion.

On both sides of the entrance stood two fifth Enlighten Cultivators. Clad in armor, they surveyed the crowd constantly with sharp gazes.

Such guards could be seen everywhere in the Flower Lotus Pavilion.

The pavilion was different from others enjoyments pavilion.

In here, beauty like fairies will be auctioned, don't think this is an inhumane act. The girls has been sold here since little or some were even save by the pavilion and in return will served in the pavilion.

The only way to be granted freedom was when the other party were brought off.

The girls were not usually sold against their will, moreover the girls has the choice to serve a customer or not.

The most important aspect was that many great sect and clan were standing behind the pavilion which makes it troublesome to offend.

Even if an inner pellets expert were to cause trouble here, he would be ruthlessly suppressed!

Ye Xiu and Liang Chen had just walked up the stairs when they was stopped by the two guards.

"Show me your Pavilion token," One of them said coldly.

The pavilion token.

Although the flower lotus pavilion might have been a courtesan place, there were some certain people that can enjoyed their enjoyment. Each person must have the pavilion token in order to enter the pavilion....

And ofcourse Ye Xiu didn't have that.

"Pavilion token? Can your pavilion token compared to this badge?".

Liang Chen snort In disdain as he waved a black token in his hand.

The guards wanted to curse at Liang Chen but the badge imprint almost made them fall.

'Ye Clan'.

"Please forgive us, you can enter".

Although they didn't recognize Ye Xiu face, the badge alone was enough to gain access to the pavilion. The badge can only be found on the Ye clan core members.

Ye Xiu nod his head and walk into the pavilions, Liang Chen followed behind with excitement vividly on his face.

The scene inside the pavilion was very much different, the seductress scent of flowers filled the air and everywhere seems unique.

There were some girls at the entrance.

"Welcome young master". A beautiful young lady at the entrance greeted Ye Xiu immediately he entered. The girl was dress in a plain short pink dressed, her b**b were slightly larger than her age and her eyes flashes seductive.

"Take us to a room". Ye Xiu said indifferent.

Him getting seduced will be the history biggest joke ever.

"Young master, are you interested in the first level or second level?". The young lady asked blinking her eyes more.

Strangely, she was even blushing!.

"Second level? How audacious of you to looked down at young master". Ye Xiu hasn't even reply before Liang Chen rebuked angrily.

The Pavilion is divided into three level according to the floor.

The first floor was for ordinary privileged cultivator.

The second floor was for middle privileged cultivator.

While the third floor were for those high influential figure from the great sect or clan.

"Oh? Sorry for not noticing you Daoist Chen". The young lady heart suddenly skip.

Apparently she hasn't noticed Liang Chen until now.

'fuck!'.

Am i that unattractive that i wasn't even noticed?' Liang Chen inwardly.

'It's rumor that Daoist Chen was the personal assistant of primes ministry son. And Daoist just called this handsome boy young master, could it be....'..

The lady expression suddenly change. "Sorry for not recognizing you, Young Lord Ye". She hurriedly apologized, even her seductive face change.

Lord Ye Wuhen only son.

"Don't worry, lead me to the upper room". Ye Xiu replied with a smile. Ye Xiu smile made the girl face turned pink.

"Follow me Young Lord". She said leading the way up.

Ye Xiu glanced at Liang Chen and smile mockery.

"Young Lord, it isn't what you are thinking". He hurriedly said.

Ye Xiu and Liang Chen followed behind and soon arrive in a room.

"Young Master, this is one of our best third level room". The girl explained with a smile.

Ye Xiu mainly nod his head in acknowledgement, then he went to sit at the foremost and big chair.

"Miss, I notice the pavilion is more crowded with more people today, can you tell me the reason?". Liang Chen suddenly asked as he also sat down.

Even Ye Xiu felt many aura that are slightly higher than him.

"You don't know?". The girl revealed a perplexed expression.

"What should we know?". Liang Chen asked back in confusion.

If you don't know then why are you here. The girl thought.

"You might not know this, those people in the pavilion right now were not only a genius but genius all around and under the kingdom".

"The other two great families young master are here including Young Master Ye Chang are all present. Even the top geniuses from each families and sect are present here, especially Pei Lin". The girl explained, her eyes glinting with pride especially when she mentioned Pei Lin.

Pei Lin, the saint son of Blue Azure sect.

He was deemed as the youngest talented genius before he was defeated by a terrify new emerged genius, Lin Xian.

Although he was defeated, his strength is still unfathomable to others.

"The three great family? And even Pei Lin? Why are they here?". Liang Chen breath became quicken as he asked.

"It's naturally because Miss Nian Qi will be playing tonight!" The girl reply, her eyes filled with longing gaze. It's as if she was about to meet her model.

"What?! Fairy Nian Qi will be playing tonight?". Liang Chen eyes widened in disbelief before excitement.

Miss Nian Qi, the most beautiful girl in the Flower Lotus Pavilion and even in the Great Qin Kingdom, although she always covered her face with a veil.

Her attainment in Zither was second to none in the Great Qin Kingdom, every genius yearn to listened to her music.

"Yes, that's right". She replied.

"Young master, i will let the servant serve you. Please excuse me". The girl said as she hurriedly remember something.

"Uh". Ye Xiu nodded his head and then the girl exit the room.
