Immortality begins with exchanging talent attributes.

Chapter 75 The Floating Mansion

As Zhou Yan walked out of the house, he saw Li Kun pacing back and forth outside the door.

Upon seeing him appear, Li Kun immediately went to greet him.

"Captain Zhou, we have news about Tian Youfeng."

Zhou Yan paused slightly.

These past few days, he has been staying at home practicing martial arts.

The investigation was entirely entrusted to Li Kun and others.

He had assumed that a flower thief would be secretive and adept at hiding, and that news of him wouldn't come so quickly.

But to their surprise, Li Kun and his team actually found a clue.

"Let's talk as we walk."

Li Kun nodded, followed half a step behind Zhou Yan, and said very quickly, "According to the information we've gathered these past few days, Tian Youfeng is very likely at Fuhua Tower recently."

Fuhua Tower is considered a decent place for people to relax and have fun in the outer city.

I heard that it's quite expensive inside, and ordinary people can't even afford to get in.

Even flower thieves can live in there, yet they still want to steal flowers?

Something's not right.

The two walked at a brisk pace.

Before long, they arrived at a restaurant opposite the Fuhua Building.

Three guards in black uniforms were sitting by the window on the second floor of the restaurant.

All three had changed out of their official robes and were now wearing ordinary clothes.

They appeared to be drinking and chatting, but their eyes were always fixed on the luxurious building across the street.

Upon seeing Li Kun and Zhou Yan approach, the three of them clasped their hands in unison and whispered, "Greetings, Captain."

Zhou Yan waved his hand and said, "No need for formalities. What's the situation now? Where are the others?"

One of the guards, a dark-skinned, burly man named Song Hu, said, "Commander, Lao Chang and Xiao Chen are currently keeping watch at the back door of Fuhua Tower."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "According to Chunhua, the young lady in Fuhua Tower, there is someone inside whose appearance matches Tian Youfeng's. He is currently inside. We are all of weak strength and we were afraid of alerting him, so we asked Old Li to call you here."

Zhou Yan nodded and walked to the window.

Across the street, the luxurious building occupies a considerable area, with its vermilion gatehouse adorned with colorful lights.

Although it was not yet completely night, the area in front of the gate was already bustling with carriages and people.

He looked around for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Whose property is the Floating Splendor Pavilion?"

Li Kun replied in a low voice, "It belongs to the Zhao family. Not only this Fuhua Tower, but all the brothels and entertainment venues in this city are owned by the Zhao family."

The Zhao family is one of the six great families in the inner city.

With a slight narrowing of his eyes, Zhou Yan thought for a moment and said, "Li Kun, change into civilian clothes and come in with me to investigate. The rest of you can act as needed."

It's impossible to forcibly enter a powerful family's property and take someone away, especially since he's just a lowly captain of the Black-Clad Guards with no proper permits.

The other party won't give you any face at all.

Moreover, if the intelligence is wrong and the person inside is not Tian Youfeng, then we will not only fail to catch him but also offend the Zhao family, which would be a loss.

The safest approach is to go in and explore first.

Li Kun quickly took off his outer robe and "borrowed" a long gown from the restaurant manager.

The two went downstairs and slowly walked towards the Floating Splendor Building.

As soon as they arrived at the door, several scantily clad women greeted them with smiles and sweet voices, "Gentlemen, come and have some fun!"

For a seasoned veteran like Li Kun, in the past, he would have already gotten the hang of it.

But with Zhou Yan present today, not only is the other party of higher rank than himself, but the other party's age also makes him feel somewhat embarrassed.

Li Kun felt embarrassed and turned to look.

But then they saw Zhou Yan casually put his arm around a woman and walk into the building with a smile.

That posture, that experience, was even more skillful than his.

"Holy crap, is this guy even sixteen?"

He cursed inwardly, then quickly grabbed a woman who was clinging to him and followed her inside.

Zhou Yan wore a smile on his face, but his mind was perfectly clear.

It was just a charade.

The more reserved you are in such a place, the more attention you will attract.

Enter the Floating Splendor Building.

The first thing that catches the eye is a high platform covered with a red carpet.

On stage, seven or eight brightly dressed singers were performing songs and dances.

The first floor is filled with tables and desks, while the second floor is a circular grandstand.

The guests engaged in lively discussions, and cheers and applause rose and fell.

It was a bustling and prosperous scene.

The woman in his arms then whispered in Zhou Yan's ear, "Master, my name is Qing'er. Would you like to go upstairs or sit on the first floor?"

Looking down at the woman, Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Let's sit downstairs first."

This is the first time Zhou Yan has come to such a place since his transmigration.

To be honest, it's really good.

Although the girls weren't as stunningly beautiful as Lu Qingshuang, they were still quite pretty, and each of them had a good figure.

They found a private room, and Zhou Yan and Li Kun each put their arms around a girl and sat down.

As soon as they sat down, a waiter brought them a pot of wine and several small dishes.

The woman sitting next to Li Kun covered her mouth and chuckled, "Is this your first time visiting our Floating Splendor Pavilion, gentlemen?"

Zhou Yan nodded.

"first."

"Those two are really lucky to be here today."

"7

The woman smiled and said, "Today, our Floating Splendor's most beautiful courtesan, Miss Xiaoyue, will personally perform a song. Normally, it's not enough to just have money to see Miss Xiaoyue."

Zhou Yan raised an eyebrow, looked at Li Kun, and seeing that Li Kun also shook his head, indicating that he didn't know, he then asked, "Xiaoyue? I wonder how this Miss Xiaoyue compares to the two of you?"

Sitting next to Zhou Yan, Qing'er, who was pouring him wine, covered her mouth and laughed upon hearing this, saying, "How can our plain looks compare to Miss Xiaoyue?"

Zhou Yan picked up his wine glass and lightly clinked it against Li Kun's.

At the same time, he gave the other person a wink.

Li Kun understood immediately and observed his surroundings discreetly.

He said with a smile, "I think Qing'er is very good. That Xiaoyue girl may not be as pretty as you."

As he spoke, he naturally put one arm around Qing'er, but his gaze swept over the guests in the hall.

A white light filled the eye, with occasional glimpses of green, but when Zhou Yan looked closer, he found it to be vastly different from Tian Youfeng's portrait.

Zhou Yan looked at Li Kun, and Li Kun shook his head slightly at him.

Just then.

Suddenly, a melodious zither tune arose, its sound like a mountain spring flowing, clear and pleasant to the ear.

The once noisy hall gradually quieted down.

Everyone looked up at the top of the platform.

next moment.

A wooden couch was slowly lowered from the second floor, suspended on both sides by extremely thin steel wires.

A woman sat gracefully on a couch, her dry fingers gently caressing the strings of a zither.

The long white dress draped down, its hem swaying gently as the wooden couch descended.

Under the lamplight, she looked like a fairy who had descended from the moon palace.

Even Zhou Yan found this entrance quite stunning.

His gaze then fell on the woman named Xiaoyue on the wooden couch.

The woman's skin was like solidified cream.

Her peach blossom eyes seemed both drunk and not drunk.

Her gaze swept over the crowd below the stage.

Every guest whose gaze swept over her couldn't help but show a look of infatuation.

Of course, that's secondary. She's just a pretty girl. Zhou Yan has seen all kinds of beauties in his previous life.

Importantly, the moment this woman appeared, the two blue beams above her head almost blinded him.

【Dreamlike Love Tribulation (Blue)】

The target state is stable; exchanging terms requires a lifespan of 100 years.

[Soul-Stealing Demonic Voice (Blue)]

The target state is stable; exchanging terms requires a lifespan of 120 years.

Double blue keyword!

That's fucking a courtesan!

Is the current competition for the top courtesan really that excessive?

As Zhou Yan looked at the panel, the woman playing the zither seemed to sense something and looked directly in his direction.

Zhou Yan hurriedly lowered his head, pretending to drink, but a bead of cold sweat slowly slid down his temple.

We need to be more careful in the future; you never know when a master might appear out of nowhere. It's too dangerous.

Xiaoyue on the stage glanced at where Zhou Yan was.

Li Kun was completely mesmerized by what he saw.

As soon as the song ended, people started showering him with tips.

"Young Master Sun at table number five has awarded thirty taels of silver!"

"Young Master Song at table number twelve has awarded one hundred taels of silver in hopes that Miss Xiaoyue may play another tune."

"Room 3 on the second floor, 50 gold leaves!"

Xiaoyue remained silent.

She gave the crowd below a captivating smile, then, accompanied by her maid, left the platform and went into the room at the back.

-

There was another man inside the room at that time.

The man was wearing a light blue long robe, his face was slightly pale, but he was quite handsome.

However, a frivolous smile always lingered at the corner of his mouth, making him look like a dissolute young master who indulged in excessive lust.

He sat in the chair with one leg dangling off the table.

Upon seeing Xiaoyue enter, he revealed a repulsive smile and said, "If others knew that the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect was performing in a brothel, I wonder how many top talents would come to patronize her."

Xiaoyue's smile vanished the instant the door closed, and she gave the man a cold look.

"Tian Youfeng, if it weren't for your brother's sake, I would really like to rip your heart out."

Her tone was indifferent, but despite this, her voice was still captivating.

Tian Youfeng stared at Xiaoyue, mesmerized, and murmured, "So beautiful—"
