Chapter 55 Red Mansion
Su Heng was in a good mood as his realm had broken through again and his strength had greatly increased.

He has already found out information about the Luo family in the past few days, but he is not in a hurry to take action now.

Mainly because today is the Jiang Lantern Festival, although it is a local festival, it is particularly grand and attracts a lot of people.

If we start now, it would be easy to miss something.

We have to wait a little longer.

Another thing is that I have been in Jiangyue Pavilion for more than two days.

The elder from the Demon Suppression Division that Su Li mentioned still hasn't come. I don't know if there was some problem or if it's simply because of low efficiency.

Let’s put these doubts aside for now.

I lowered my head, stepped over the door lintel, and came outside. A figure was walking on the quiet path.

Just at this moment, another firework exploded in the air.

The flickering orange light illuminated the figure on the path.

She has a slender figure, dressed in a fiery red waisted miniskirt, simple black tights and deerskin boots underneath, outlining her round and slender legs. Coupled with her exquisite and capable short hair, she looks heroic and has a kind of underworld aura that is rare in ordinary women.

"Master Su."

The man stopped in front of Su Heng's villa and greeted him with a smile.

This person's name is Chen Murong.

She was the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Baihua County and was staying temporarily in Jiangyue Pavilion. Because of her outspoken personality, the two had chatted several times before and were quite compatible.

"Yeah." Su Heng nodded and greeted.

"Are you going to attend the Jiang Lantern Festival?" Chen Murong asked. Seeing Su Heng nodded, she smiled and continued, "It just so happens that I'm alone outside. I wonder if Mr. Su would be so kind as to go with me."

"I still have a few invitations to the Red Mansion. If we use them after tonight, they will be wasted." Chen Murong looked at Su Heng and said with some anticipation.

"Red Mansion..."

Su Heng had heard Su Li talk about this matter specifically.

"Okay." He nodded and smiled, "Then I'll trouble Miss Chen."

"That's not a big deal." Chen Murong laughed heartily, "I took the initiative to invite you, so why would it be a trouble?"

So the two of them set out together.

Go around the rockery used for viewing in Jiangyue Pavilion and walk down along the cobblestone path.

After passing through the mountain gate and entering a main road at the foot of the mountain, there were gradually more people around. Although it was night, the lights of various lanterns made the surroundings as bright as day.

Fireworks of various colors kept exploding in the sky, and the crowd moved forward slowly like a stream of water.

On both sides of the street were various large lanterns, pulled by horses and moving slowly forward. In the open square, there were dragon dance performances, folk exhibitions, impromptu poetry creation, etc. It was even more lively than Su Heng had imagined.

Chen Murong and Su Heng are about the same age.

But after traveling all over the country with the caravan over the years, his knowledge is much broader than Su Heng's.

She pointed at the lanterns and exhibits, and could tell the origins of their images one by one, as well as some related interesting stories and so on.

Even Su Heng is not good at speaking.

Under Chen Murong's leadership, the atmosphere between the two of them seemed quite harmonious.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the Red Mansion that Su Li had mentioned before.

The so-called Red Building is not a real high-rise building, but a large ship. It has a dragon head and a phoenix tail, and a red wooden body. It is more than 70 meters long from head to tail. One side is concave, forming a huge venue. On the other side, there is a nine-story building that rises upward, decorated with lanterns and colorful flags. This is the audience seat.

"This famous red building in Baihua County is not a high-rise building as people imagine. It is a giant music exhibition hall floating on the river." Chen Murong looked at Su Heng's slightly surprised face and explained with a smile.

"The first time I went to the Red Tower with my father, I was also extremely surprised." Chen Murong sighed. "It's really incredible." Su Heng praised.

Such a magnificent ship was indeed beyond his expectations. In such an ancient dynasty, it could already be called a wonder.
The two followed the crowd up the red building and came to the ninth floor. The view here was wide and the river breeze was gentle. Standing by the railing, you can see most of the scene of the dock market, and you feel a sense of power standing high up and overlooking everything.

As everyone arrived, the performance in the exhibition hall began quickly.

First came the dragon and lion dances, with the fierce and uplifting drumbeats, the lion heads and dragon heads jumped back and forth on the raised pillars, moving up and down, drawing applause. Then came the acrobatic performances, with various tamed large beasts appearing one by one, again with bursts of urgent cheers.

Su Heng and Chen Murong sat opposite each other.

Drink while watching the performances on the stands below.

The higher up the auditorium of the Red Mansion is, the more distinguished the guests inside are, and the higher the standard of hospitality is.

The drinks here are quite good, they are purified strong liquors.

Su Heng himself had a strong physique, so he could only taste the fragrance of some fruits, but he did not feel drunk.

But Chen Murong was just an ordinary person. After drinking a few glasses, his face turned slightly red and his eyes became a little hazy.

call out!
The performance reached its climax.

Amid the uplifting drumbeats, fireworks in three different colors, gold, red and purple, exploded like clusters of flowers, shining brightly.

"If I could be with Mr. Su, I would definitely feel safe." Chen Murong said softly as if unintentionally.

"Really?" Su Heng was a little surprised.

He always felt that he was plain-looking and too big, so no girl would like him.

Of course, he didn't care at all.

Ever since the Pure Yang Skill entered the realm of breaking limits, martial arts gradually became Su Heng's only thing.

As for the rest, only family members can pay attention to it.

But now it seems...

It seems that he is quite likable?
Su Li did tell him secretly that that night, Xu Ziyi's eyes looked a little sad when she looked at him.

"Hehe, this guest is so tall and handsome." Seeing that the wine glass on Su Heng's table was empty, several beautiful maids in light gauze came trotting over to pour wine and add snacks.

One of the women in green was bold enough to reach out and gently pinch Su Heng's arm. Then she widened her eyes and said in surprise, "It's as hard as a rock."

"I have seen that none of the generals in the county have such a magnificent figure as yours."

Seeing that Su Heng was not angry.

The other maids also spoke sweet words and boldly reached out to pinch him.

Then they all showed surprised expressions, gathered together, and giggled with their hands covering their mouths.

Although the Red Mansion is famous, it is ultimately just a place of prostitution.

The maids here were all children from poor families, but Su Heng did not see the numbness and restraint on the faces of these maids. Instead, they were full of natural liveliness and enthusiasm. Obviously, the owner of the Red Mansion was also quite good to these ordinary maids.

Swish swish!
A pale pink curtain descended from the stage.

When the curtain opened, slender and graceful figures danced on the stage.

These dancers not only have charming and graceful postures, but also have thin strings wrapped around their belts, which allow them to perform various difficult movements. They jump high like deer in the forest, dragging colorful ribbons behind them, which is magnificent. The atmosphere gradually reaches a climax amid the sound of stringed instruments.

But at this moment—bang!

The sound of something breaking suddenly rang out, and the originally lively atmosphere in the audience was instantly choked.
