Chapter 280 Waterside Pavilion
Chapter 280 Waterside Pavilion
The story ended in the Lu family hall. Everyone left one after another. The three real people exchanged glances and decided to set the first stop of the investigation at the Shili Waterside Pavilion in Yangzhou City.
They wanted to find Lu Shengxiong to find out what was going on with the mysterious undead corpse.
Soon, everyone arrived at their destination.
This ten-mile waterside singing house is indeed worthy of its reputation.
Even during the day, this place is bustling.
There are rows of jade buildings, with beautiful eaves and brackets. On both sides of the street, there are red flowers, green willows and lush grass. The sound of stringed instruments coming from the pavilions is intoxicating.
There was an endless stream of guests of all kinds, including scholars, wealthy businessmen, and chivalrous knights.
The dancers, dressed in light gauze, danced gracefully on the balcony, as ethereal as fairies.
The streets are crowded with people, and the aroma of wine, tea and food mixed together, whetting one's appetite.
The whole street is filled with an atmosphere of decadence and dissipation that makes people linger.
As soon as Meng Ning and his group stepped into the street, the rich smell of rouge perfume hit them in the face, as if it was going to hook their souls away.
In the blink of an eye, a group of beautiful women surrounded them.
"Oh, you guys are so handsome!" A woman with delicate makeup took Meng Ning's arm, "Why don't you come to my house to have a drink and listen to some music?"
Another tall woman pulled Ma Chao's sleeve and said delicately, "This master looks like the head of a wealthy family. Why don't you come with me to have a cup of tea and talk?"
Seeing this, Ma Chao quickly broke free and said seriously, "Young lady, please don't misunderstand me. I am a cultivator, a pure cultivator, and I never get close to women."
"Oh, so you are a Taoist priest!" The woman kept pestering him, her words even more seductively, "If the Taoist priest is a celibate, why did he come to this place of fireworks? Are you saying one thing and thinking another?"
For a moment, Ma Chao was speechless and his face turned red.
Seeing this, Hao Guang couldn't help laughing: "Master, your decades of virginity may be ruined today!"
"Nonsense!" Ma Chao was furious. "We are here to do business. Xiaoguang, when did you fail to learn your lesson?"
Then Ma Chao flatly rejected the women, "We are cultivators, a sect of pure cultivation, how can we be involved in worldly affairs? Please leave immediately."
The beauties didn't take it seriously and laughed, "Practitioners are also made of flesh and blood, so what's wrong with relaxing occasionally?"
They spoke frivolously and behaved seductively as they circled around the crowd, sometimes whispering teasingly and sometimes giggling seductively.
Seeing that Meng Ning, Haishan and others were good-looking, the beauties were even more excited.
"Since you are so handsome, why don't you come with us to visit the brothel? Not only will we not charge you a penny, but we will also give you a big gift."
After hearing this, Erguo waved his hands hastily, "How can we cultivators lose our Yuan Yang so easily? Absolutely not!"
"Yuan Yang?" The beauties' eyes lit up, as if they had heard of some rare treasure. "You gentlemen are actually Yuan Yang bodies? Then you should cherish them even more."
Their eyes flickered, and their voices became softer and softer, "If you gentlemen are willing to do us the honor, we will definitely present you with generous gifts.
Being able to spend a good night with a cultivator of the Yuan Yang body is a blessing we have cultivated for several lifetimes."
Soon, the group of women surrounded the Three True Ones, pulling and tugging them, and pushing them to a nearby brothel.
Meng Ning, who was standing by, finally couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to interrupt the frolicking and playfulness of the crowd. He said seriously, "Ladies, we have important matters to attend to. Please forgive us."
Seeing that Meng Ning really had no intention of stopping, the women stopped laughing and looked at Meng Ning curiously.
One of the women in purple asked, "Why are you here, sir?"
Meng Ning looked around and said in a deep voice, "We are looking for Lu Shengxiong."
As soon as these words were spoken, the air seemed to freeze for a moment.
The women looked at each other, with a hint of vigilance in their eyes. The woman in green asked again, "Excuse me, sir, why are you looking for our sister Lu?"
Meng Ning answered calmly, "I was entrusted by the Lu family of Lu Dahai to come and discuss important matters with their granddaughter Lu Shengxiong."
As soon as the words fell, the originally lively atmosphere instantly cooled down.
The women's faces suddenly changed, and hostility appeared in their eyes.
A tall woman stepped forward and said coldly, "The Lu family? Humph, we don't welcome people from the Lu family, please go back, young master."
Another woman echoed, "That's right! Sister Lu refused many times, but you still forced her to get married. Now, you don't even give her the last bit of free time?"
Meng Ning was stunned when he heard this, obviously not expecting such a turn of events. He was about to explain when he saw the group of women gathered around them and surrounded them.
The tall woman shouted sternly, "Listen up, sisters! These people are here with bad intentions, they must want to snatch Sister Lu away. We must not let them succeed!"
In an instant, the faces of the originally charming and lovely women all changed, and their behaviors revealed a fierce aura.
Some picked up brooms, some held their hairpins tightly, and they were ready to fight for their lives.
Meng Ning couldn't help but secretly groan when he saw this. He didn't come to persuade Lu Shengxiong to get married, but to ask her about the undead corpse.
And being beaten by a group of women is really embarrassing. But if you fight back and beat a woman...
Even more embarrassing...
I was misunderstood before I could even finish a few words. I was so unlucky. It seemed that I shouldn't have mentioned Lu Dahai's name.
"We are not here to persuade Lu Shengxiong to get married. We are here to discuss important matters with him. It is really an important matter and cannot be delayed. Please inform us!"
Now Meng Ning had no choice but to bite the bullet and repeat his request, trying to get a glimmer of hope. However, as soon as he said it, the girls shook their heads in disbelief.
"Don't deceive us. When has anyone from your Lu family come here to say that it's not important? When has anyone not acted pitiful and innocent? In the end, every time they persuade Sister Lu to go back and get married. We won't be fooled again."
A woman in yellow shook her head, indicating that she did not believe Meng Ning's words.
Seeing this, Meng Ning became ruthless and spoke immediately.
"We are here to eliminate..."
Just as Meng Ning was about to explain the real purpose of their trip, Haishan was quick to cover his mouth.
"Shh! Don't say it, don't say it."
Haishan leaned close to Meng Ning's ear and whispered, "The rules for those who seek the law to remove corpses are: do not discuss any news about the undead corpses and the Wanye Corpse Immortals with mortals. This will aggravate the impact of the spread of Wanye."
Meng Ning frowned, and Haishan continued to explain: "It was easy to handle in a small village in the past, but this is in Yangzhou City! There are so many people in this place, if the news leaks out, it will spread from one person to ten people, and from ten to a hundred people, the consequences will be disastrous."
Ugh!
You can't hit him, you can't scold him, you can't say anything to him. It's really troublesome!
Seeing that the girls were about to attack with their brooms again, Meng Ning stretched out his hand and waved it, and an invisible wave of air forced the girls back.
The girls saw Meng Ning sitting on the ground and using the most primitive method.
Being persistent and naughty!
"If you don't give me a way to see Lu Shengxiong today, then we won't leave!"
