Chapter 219 Conflict Arises Between Two Families
Wanhua Realm, Ye City, amidst colorful clouds.
This Caiyun Pavilion is the biggest den of iniquity in the entire Ye City. It is a place of extravagance and debauchery, where many cultivators and wealthy mortals choose to come here at night to have some fun. Gu Yuchuan, now disguised as a pot-bellied middle-aged man, is sitting in the hall.
On the stage, a beautiful woman was dancing. She wore a crimson gauze dress, her graceful figure partially obscured, like a pipa player half-concealing her face. Seeing her sent a rush of blood to the eyes, as if one had spotted a clear spring in a scorching desert—a mirage, only to be admired, not quenched in reality.
This girl is the most beautiful courtesan of the month in Caiyun Pavilion. Her name is Tianwu, and she is a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining. Only cultivators have the money and means to enjoy such a beauty; mortals can only watch.
Gu Yuchuan observed the two tables of people above. These two tables looked different from the others. The seats they sat in were magnificent, decorated with crystals, gems, and gold. Anyone who saw them could tell that the people in these seats had a very high status, and even Caiyunjian had to curry favor with them.
It goes without saying that the people at these two tables are from the Wang and Song families. These two families are practically local tyrants in Yecheng, and all other forces have to give them face.
The Wang family was seated on the left. Two men sat in their seats. One looked refined and elegant, a true gentleman, but a hint of lewdness in his eyes ruined his overall demeanor, making him appear somewhat sleazy. The other was slightly older, appearing to be middle-aged, and even had a beard. He was also quite overweight, resembling a spoiled brat. Both men were dressed in very luxurious clothes, adorned with gold, silver, and jade, indicating their considerable wealth.
Both of them were at the early stage of Qi Refining, one at the third level and the other at the second level. The younger one was called Wang Ruoyu, and the older one was called Wang Ruokang. They were both direct descendants of the Wang family, but their aptitude was poor, and they had no hope of becoming immortals. Their current level of cultivation was only achieved with a lot of resources from their families. So their families reduced the resources for their cultivation and gave them more worldly money, so they could have more fun in the mortal world.
As direct descendants, they share a very close bloodline with the current clan leader, Wang Ankang. They are both grandchildren, and Wang Ruoyu even dotes on them. You can tell by the three guards standing behind them: one at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, and two at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining. The fact that these three experts are protecting these two纨绔 (spoiled brats) shows how high their status is.
The Song family's side was no less impressive. There were three cultivators sitting there, two men and one woman. That's right, there was also a woman with the cultivation level of the fourth level of Qi Refining, and the two men were also at the third level of Qi Refining.
The woman had tied her hair up and was dressed in a man's robe. She had also made some minor changes to her appearance, making her look like a refined and somewhat frail scholar. One of the two men had greasy hair and a somewhat effeminate manner, while the other was slightly overweight and looked rather lewd. However, their gazes lingered on the first woman, indicating that she was of higher status than them.
That's right, this woman is a direct descendant of the Song family, named Song Shuyun. Her aptitude is also quite good, with three spiritual roots. At such a young age, she has already reached the fourth level of Qi Refining. Most importantly, her father is a cultivator at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment, and is also a prodigy of the Song family, being groomed to be the next patriarch.
However, Song Shuyun had been spoiled since childhood and didn't value cultivation at all. Instead, she often disguised herself as a boy and went out to fool around with the playboys in her family. Just like today, she came to Caiyun Pavilion with Song Cheming and Song Cheyan. These two playboys were just like the Wang family—they had good status, but their aptitude was truly appalling. In addition, they had no desire to pursue the Dao, so they were allowed to play around as they pleased.
They were followed by three protectors, but since Song Shuyun's status was higher, their protectors consisted of one Foundation Establishment Level 1 and two Qi Refining Level 9, which was indeed much more powerful than those of the Wang family.
At this moment, Tianwu on the stage also finished her performance. She bowed gracefully to the crowd below. The light shone on her gauze dress, making her figure appear and disappear, which was breathtaking. Many people threw rewards onto the stage, including gold and silver, and even spirit stones used by cultivators.
At this moment, the madam, dressed in red and green, came up. When she smiled, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes looked as if they could trap a fly.
"Gentlemen, our Miss Tianwu's performance today has come to an end. As you all know, Tianwu is the top courtesan of the month and also the top courtesan of the year. This is Tianwu's first time being listed, so her virginity is naturally expensive. Today, we will follow the usual rules and hold an auction. The auction will now begin."
The Wang and Song families are all here today, specifically for the auction of the courtesan. After all, a cultivator's first night not only allows them to enjoy themselves to the fullest, but it also has certain benefits for their cultivation. Although they have no ambition to pursue the Dao, why not improve their cultivation while enjoying themselves?
No sooner had the madam finished speaking than someone shouted fifty spirit stones. To be honest, fifty spirit stones for a night of pleasure is extremely expensive, but if it were the first time of a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, this price would be simply unacceptable.
Sure enough. Wang Ruoyu slammed his hand on the table and stood up: "If you don't have money, then get lost. Who do you think you are by offering this little bit? I'll offer three hundred spirit stones!"
This price is enough to buy even the lowest-grade magic weapon. This spendthrift actually used it for this. No wonder his cultivation level has never improved.
On the other side, Song Cheming also stood up: "Isn't this the Wang family's brother? I heard that your father just scolded you last month for wasting money here. Why are you here to bid for the courtesan again today? I wonder how long you have to save up these three hundred spirit stones. Don't tell me that you don't even dare to eat spirit items at home and only eat the grains of mortals."
The relationship between the Song and Wang families can now be described as irreconcilable. Even the younger generation can no longer maintain a semblance of civility, and when they meet here, they naturally exchange harsh words.
They're all spoiled brats, who's really afraid of whom? Wang Ruoyu snorted coldly, a hint of mockery in his eyes: "What do you care where I get my money from? I'm still better off than you. I heard your mother used all your salary to support your younger brother. You won't have any money to play with in the future, will you? Otherwise, kneel down and call me 'good brother,' and next time, I'll treat you to a game."
That's a bit too much. Nobody knows that the fragrance in the air is a hallucinogenic drug that Gu Yuchuan added to incite their anger. This hallucinogenic drug is mixed in with the original fragrance of this brothel, so nobody can detect it.
