I courted death and then tried to escape, so the whole sect wants to get rid of me.

Stepping out of Zhu Zhao's courtyard, you can see the residence of your fourth junior brother.

Song Yao remembered that her fourth junior brother was the most obedient, gentlest, and kindest child among all her direct disciples.

He speaks softly and likes to follow behind her, calling her "Third Senior Sister" repeatedly.

He never complained when she bullied him; instead, he stood up for her and protected her.

Even at the very end, when she tried to poison him to counteract his dark side, he drank it without a word, stood before her, and asked with bright eyes, "Third Senior Sister, is this what you wanted?"

"Third Senior Sister, are you trying to kill me?"

Only when all other options were exhausted did she bring his parents out of their graves.

If there were an award for the most righteous and upright figures, her fourth junior brother would certainly be on the list.

It's a pity that he's now 100% corrupted, and it's unknown when the male lead will be able to purify him.

Song Yao missed her soft and cute fourth junior brother quite a bit, and after a moment of genuine melancholy, she packed her bags and went down the mountain to sell her sword.

After descending the mountain, you'll find yourself in Sichun City, the largest city-state in the Tian Shu Realm, under the jurisdiction of the Nine Saints Hall.

Although it was already dark, the city was still brightly lit, and pedestrians were coming and going in a lively atmosphere.

Song Yao navigated the alleys with practiced ease, gradually moving away from the city center, and stopped in front of a brothel.

The old locust tree at the entrance is still the same, growing crookedly. Red lanterns hang in front of the building, and the words "Zui Xian Lou" are written on the lintel.

The air was thick with the aroma of wine and the pungent smell of perfume, while the sounds of music and laughter mingled together and drifted out from the open door.

Song Yao lifted her foot and walked inside.

As soon as she stepped onto the stairs, a heavily made-up woman approached her, smiling as she looked her up and down: "Oh, is this your first time here, little Taoist priest?"

She leaned closer to Song Yao, her face half-hidden by a round fan, her voice sweet and alluring: "Do you know anyone here? Are you looking for a lady or a gentleman to keep you company?"

"I'm looking for your manager."

Song Yao opened the bundle, revealing a corner of a long sword. "Let's make a deal."

The woman glanced down at the sword, her enthusiasm fading slightly: "Young Taoist priest, come with me."

She turned and walked inside, bypassing the bustling crowd in the front hall, and pushed open the side door to enter the private room.

In her previous life, Song Yao had been here a few times. On the surface, this place was a brothel, but in private, it was used for all sorts of illicit business.

The super-strong aphrodisiac I gave my senior brother was bought here.

That's really exciting.

But as soon as she opened the door this time, she sensed something was wrong.

Beside the shopkeeper...

Why is her fourth junior brother standing there?

Why did the fourth junior brother put a sword to the shopkeeper's neck?

wrong.

How come there are so many fellow disciples?

What's going on with these people squatting down with their hands behind their heads?

In this situation, Song Yao felt she should turn around and leave, pretending nothing had happened.

Unfortunately, a disciple beside the fourth junior brother coldly spoke up: "Halt! Nine Saints Hall patrol! Crouch down and put your hands on your heads!"

Song Yao: "......"

She seemed to have a guilty feeling, like she'd been caught like a ladybug.

She opened her mouth, but before she could explain, another person beside her exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't this the Seventh Elder's newly accepted disciple? Fourth Senior Brother, the one you brought back!"

Song Yao nodded as if grasping at a straw.

We're all one of us.

The man asked in confusion, "What are you doing here?"

His gaze swept over the items in her bag, and he suddenly became serious: "You're not here to do business with those evil cultivators, are you?! We searched for half a year before finally finding this hideout of the evil cultivators! We wiped them all out! Could it be that you're also here to...?"

The fourth junior brother looked at her from the shadows, his eyes indifferent: "A disciple of the hall has an affair with an evil cultivator, one hundred lashes."

Song Yao: "......"

How did Fourth Junior Brother, with such a sweet tongue, become so cruel?

After she's been whipped a hundred times, will she still look human?

Her face scrunched up, and she hesitated, then finally managed to speak with great difficulty: "If I said I came in by accident, would you believe me?"

A cold laugh shattered her illusion.

Xie Zhou said expressionlessly, "Refusing to admit it is an even greater crime. Take him away."

Song Yao: "!!!"

Seeing her two senior female classmates walking towards her, she took a half step back, resigned to her fate: "Fine, I'll tell you the truth, okay?"

The group paused in their movements.

Then Song Yao said with a death-defying air, "I'm here to have fun, I'm here to solicit prostitutes, I'm a guest."

"..."

The room was completely quiet.

The disciples' mouths gaped open, utterly shocked.

hiss--

Although occasionally some unruly disciples from the hall would indeed sneak into the brothel for pleasure, but...

At her age...

Still the first one.

It's not right.

Finally, Xie Zhou spoke up: "Take the rest of you away first, and go back to report."

"Yes."

As soon as he spoke, the disciples immediately escorted the cultivators on the ground and the shopkeeper and madam out the back door.

Only two people remained in the private room.

Song Yao wanted to explain, but then shut her mouth again.

In her past life, in her fourth junior brother's eyes, she was just such a reckless person.

If I were to be hated by him for this, it wouldn't be so bad.

She stretched out her hands, clasped them together in fists, and presented them to him, saying lazily, "Fourth Senior Brother, are you going to take me to the Discipline Hall? I accept the punishment."

The next second, Xie Zhou grabbed her wrists, and with his other hand, he took out a jade token from his sleeve and crushed it: "Pass down the order that the Biyue Sword cannot be bought or sold within the Spring City. Those who violate this rule will be severely punished."

Song Yao: "?"

What does that mean?

Cutting off someone's livelihood is a sin that will be struck by lightning!

Her face looked terrible, but her hands were tightly clasped, preventing her from moving, and she was forced to follow Xie Zhou out of the private room.

At the end of the corridor, a middle-aged man, his face covered in sweat, saw Xie Zhou, his legs went weak, and he knelt down with a thud.

"Master Daoist, Master Daoist."

He scrambled to Xie Zhou's side, trembling like a leaf, "I really didn't know the manager was a heretic cultivator, doing all sorts of things in private! Although I'm the second manager, I'm only responsible for the accounts and daily operations of Zuixianlou. Those things really have nothing to do with me! Daoist Master, please see the truth!"

Xie Zhou looked down at him, not giving him a second glance: "Prepare a private room."

The second manager, kneeling on the ground, was startled, then suddenly realized what he was doing: "Yes, yes, I'll go right away! I'll go right away!"

Song Yao only realized something was wrong when she was led into a private room on the third floor.

Her righteous and awe-inspiring fourth junior brother actually abused his power for personal gain in the brothel!

Then, seeing the girls and male prostitutes pouring into the room, he suddenly realized what was going on.

grown up.

Fourth junior brother has grown up.

But, is it really appropriate to bring her to a place like this?

This time she successfully broke free from Xie Zhou's grasp, raised two fingers and swore, "Fourth Senior Brother, I promise I won't tell anyone about you coming to the brothel. Can I leave now?"

Xie Zhou raised his hand, and the door slammed shut automatically.

He glanced at her and said indifferently, "Didn't you come here to have fun, to solicit prostitutes, to be a guest? Go ahead and have fun."

Song Yao: "......"

Fourth junior brother, you feel so unfamiliar to me.

She watched as a group of pretty girls and handsome young men became eager to make their move.

She frequented places like this to drown her sorrows in her past life.

But it's really not suitable for her to be an honest and law-abiding ordinary alchemist now.
