Moreover, he had prepared a special feast for her, and when the time and opportunity were right, he would let her enjoy it.

"It seems that Lord Luo has made full preparations. No wonder he is so confident."

"Of course, Your Excellency, please rest assured and enjoy the show here. I will handle things properly."

The woman looked coldly at Luo Jiushang, who was smiling smugly, a strange look flashing in her eyes, before she chuckled, "Then this little woman will look forward to Lord Luo's methods."

Dressed in white, with a cold and aloof demeanor, he was a rather young man, but in the eyes of others, he was a very good man. At this moment, a woman who was a little older came and sat down opposite him.

"Young master, won't your parents be looking for you if you come to our place tonight?"

Her charm was deep and captivating. Although time had etched its marks on her face, she still retained her elegance. However, Lin Xueyi could see a hint of weariness in her eyes.

"Sister, I'm just here to take a look, um, just joining in the fun." She chuckled dryly, not daring to actually engage in any deep philosophical discussions with these women. Of course, before she was disarmed, she would have loved to, but now, doing so would only be asking for trouble.

Liu Meiyan, who immediately recognized that the "young master" was actually a woman, naturally had her own reasons. Her husband had died in the disaster, but her daughter was still alive. To ensure her daughter wouldn't be implicated, she had persisted in staying here. Finally seeing a glimmer of hope—money—she naturally wanted to ask for her help.

"Since you're here, why don't you go to your sister's room and chat with her?"

As she spoke, Liu Meiyan had already taken Lin Xueyi's hand and led her towards her room. Meanwhile, some of the women around them watched Liu Meiyan's actions with regret.

They had all had their eyes on this little boy for a long time, but they were too shy to approach him. As a result, Liu Meiyan beat them to it.

Forced into a room on the second floor, Lin Xueyi stared at the woman in astonishment, completely surprised that the women here were so fierce.

Tonight, she had Lin Xiaoling lead people into the mountains to carefully search for Liu Xuan's body. Then she came to this brothel alone, hoping to find some clues. However, she hadn't been sitting there for long when she was pulled from the main hall to a small room.

"Hey... miss, don't take your clothes off! I... I..."

Before Lin Xueyi could even sort out the situation, she saw that this woman had already started changing her clothes. Was this really a good idea to do it so fast?

"Little girl, are you shy? What's wrong? As a woman, you shouldn't be this shy."

After taking off her already sexy outer garment and changing into an even sexier lingerie, the woman sat down next to Lin Xueyi.

"Do you think you've hidden it well enough that no one has seen through you?"

Without the other person noticing, my hand slowly climbed up to their chest. It was very soft, and although it wasn't very obvious, I could clearly feel the elasticity inside.

"Um...you...please don't do this."

Suddenly, she jumped out, Lin Xueyi's face turning bright red, completely unable to accept the woman's actions. However, Liu Meiyan couldn't help but laugh at the scene.

With her arms crossed, looking protective, Lin Xueyi didn't really want to, but the sudden action caught her off guard. Let alone any woman touching him to take advantage, it would be suspicious if a complete stranger touched him and he felt like she was taking advantage of him.

"Alright, don't be nervous. But young lady, it's a bit suspicious that a woman would come here. I wonder what your purpose is."

At first glance, this little girl seemed like an innocent virgin. If she came to a place like this out of pure curiosity, that might be a bit hard to say. So Liu Meiyan decided to try and trick her a little; maybe the girl would tell the truth.

However, Lin Xueyi was not stupid. Although she was frightened by the sudden attack, she remained wary of the other party's probing after calming down.

"I was just curious, so I sneaked out to take a look, and this is what happened. I'm quite disappointed."

I was genuinely disappointed because I hadn't been in the lobby for long and hadn't obtained any useful information before this woman forcibly dragged me in.

Although she saw Lin Xueyi's disappointment and displeasure, Liu Meiyan still didn't believe that the little girl dressed as a boy was just curious. You know, most families would avoid this kind of place like the plague, so why would someone come here just out of curiosity?

"In that case, I apologize for my rudeness. Please have a seat, young lady."

She led Lin Xueyi to a seat in the room and sat opposite her, giving the somewhat shy girl a charming smile.

"This place isn't a good place. You should try to avoid coming here as much as possible in the future. There should be a limit to curiosity."

"Okay, I understand. I just arrived here. I heard that someone broke in and was killed, so I was curious and came to check it out."

Lin Xueyi spoke unintentionally, but to Liu Meiyan, it was anything but. In fact, when she heard that Lin Xueyi was curious because she had heard that someone had broken in, her eyes lit up.

She knew perfectly well who had barged in, and she also knew exactly what had happened. However, some things and some people had changed, and no one could stop that.

"Girl, don't ask about that matter anymore. It's not good for you. Just stay here with me for a while and then go home."

The other party wouldn't let her inquire, how could that be? Lin Xueyi looked at the other party's smiling face and felt that something was not right, but she still wanted to find out about Liu Xuan's matter.

"Sister, could you please tell me who came here to kidnap people? Besides, isn't there a way to ransom people here? Why not just ransom them instead of kidnapping them?"

When Liu Meiyan heard that the other party had actually asked about this matter, she felt that this young girl had probably come for this reason. Otherwise, why would a young girl be so curious about the jealousy and rivalry in a brothel?

"Girl, this is not something you can know. You should understand whose property this Phoenix Pavilion belongs to. There are some things you should ask and some things you should say, but at the same time, there are some things you shouldn't ask or say, so just don't touch them. Be good."

Hearing this, Lin Xueyi felt a little uncomfortable. What could she do if they didn't tell her? Did they have to do it again? They had already been discovered. If they did it again, wouldn't it be even more difficult?

Determined to get to the bottom of this matter, Lin Xueyi decided to question the woman named Liu Yanmei again. She needed to know what had happened before.

Main text: Chapter 176 Hatred in My Heart

With a half-smile, Liu Meiyan looked at the young girl who was still asking her questions. She was curious; it probably wasn't that. She guessed that the man who had been killed by the Lord of Xiaoyao City had some connection to her. But it definitely wasn't some ambiguous relationship.

"Young lady, although I don't know what your relationship with that man is, I still advise you not to get involved in this mess. It won't do you any harm to leave as soon as possible."

Only when you leave can I entrust my daughter to you with peace of mind. As long as you leave this carefree city, her daughter can also leave this hellish place with her.

"Um, sister, I don't quite understand what you mean. I'm just curious."

Lin Xueyi, who was being stared at intently by the other party, suddenly felt that she couldn't hold back anymore. Were people in ancient times really this scary? She had only asked a question, and she had already been exposed. Moreover, the other party was staring at her like that. Even though she tried to cheat by staring at the other party's nose, she still couldn't hold back and was defeated in the end. She had embarrassed countless time travelers.

"Young lady, Xiaoyao City is not as simple as you think. The waters here run deep. Even a Grandmaster-level expert could very well perish here."

She knew all too well what the biggest trump card was here. When her Wu family obtained that item, they originally thought it would be a treasure that could protect them, but in the end, they found out that it was the root of their destruction.

She will never forget everything that happened that year: the fire, the battle, and the poison that was thrown by someone.

Lin Xueyi saw the fleeting hatred in her eyes and guessed that she might be thinking about everything that had happened before. Perhaps this could be a breakthrough. She carefully told her the purpose of Liu Xuan's visit, but unexpectedly, she was met with disdain.

"You think he came here to rescue us? Ha, that's ridiculous. Do you know where this place is? Do you know how heavily guarded it is? Besides, the first person he found here wasn't us, but Wu Wenyuan. He's just rescuing his childhood sweetheart."

So she finally said it. Sure enough, Liu Xuan had appeared here and even wanted to save Wu Wenyuan. But she didn't expect that he hadn't even thought of saving these unfortunate people.

"Don't you think the other person is selfish, only thinking about saving their own sweetheart without thinking about saving others?"

With that same ambiguous smile on her face, Liu Meiyan knew she had said the wrong thing, so she made it clear that she didn't harbor much resentment towards Liu Xuan.

After all, human strength is limited, and his cultivation level is at most at the acquired level. Compared with the top beings in this carefree city, he is already doing well to protect himself.

Moreover, he paid the price for his lack of composure, ultimately being killed on the spot by Luo Jiushang, a truly tragic end. Speaking of which, she also felt sorry for Wu Wenyuan, after all, he was her childhood sweetheart, and it was said that she had locked herself in her room for the past few days.

As for Luo Jiushang, she had always been his exclusive possession. After this incident, Luo Jiushang was ruthless towards Wu Wenyuan and gave her a severe beating. I heard she hadn't been fed for two days, and they only started bringing her food yesterday.

"Is Liu Xuan really dead?" The other person could tell from her tone that Liu Xuan had indeed met with misfortune. She never imagined that her friend, with whom she had been drinking and laughing, would be separated from her by death so soon.

"Young lady, do you really know Liu Xuan?"

Liu Meiyan felt this was the worst-case scenario: that the little girl wanted to avenge Liu Xuan. If that were the case, wouldn't the girl also be devoured like a lamb to the slaughter? At such a young age, she shouldn't have such a cruel ending.

“I know him. He’s my friend. I came here to help him, but I didn’t expect him to be discovered so quickly.”

This is strange. Logically speaking, Liu Xuan shouldn't be so impulsive. He knew he was coming. Once he arrived, becoming the city lord of Xiaoyao City or any other city wouldn't be a problem.

So why was he in such a hurry to act, especially under such tight defense? This doesn't seem like something Liu Xuan would do.

It's strange, very eerie. What exactly happened in this carefree city? What happened to Liu Xuan before she arrived?

Headache, Lin Xueyi thought about it until her brain hurt. She felt that this was not a good martial arts world. In the martial arts world, the strong are respected. How could there be so many troublesome things?

"Girl, I've told you everything I know, so could you grant me one request?"

Looking at the troubled little girl, Liu Meiyan knew it was inappropriate to bring up this matter at this time, but she also hoped that her daughter could escape this hell.

The other woman's pleading gaze lacked her previous allure, but Lin Xueyi found her even more beautiful in this way.

"You said that as long as it's within my power, I will definitely help you."

This was a reasonable exchange. Lin Xueyi understood that this final request was her greatest expectation and the deal she had planned from the beginning. Since she had gotten what she wanted, she would naturally reciprocate.

The other party had clearly figured out her temperament, but it wasn't a big deal for her. At most, they would just take her away; she felt it was nothing to worry about.

“I have a daughter who is fifteen years old. I hope you can take her out of this cannibalistic hell.”

This request was completely unexpected by Lin Xueyi, yet it was also incredibly reasonable. "You...you want me to take your daughter away, but..."

“Young lady, judging from your clothes, you must come from a well-off family. If you can persuade your family to take my daughter away, that will be fine. I know it will be difficult, but I beg you, you must take her away from here.”

"Uh, you mean your daughter is here too?" Lin Xueyi scratched her head. The mother and daughter were both in this brothel. It felt like she was reading some kind of erotic novel about a mother and daughter having sex.

"I can do that, but don't you need to leave?"

This is like asking me to take my daughter away, but not letting me take her. What kind of development is this? If you want to leave, why don't you just leave together? Is someone trying to stop you?

"Tell me your daughter's name, and I'll have someone bring her over right away. Don't worry, I guarantee no one can stop me from doing this."

With a confident pat on her chest, Lin Xueyi suddenly felt like the protagonist of some kind of erotic novel, about to take on both mother and daughter.

Main Text: Chapter 177 Mother and Daughter

"Tell me who your daughter is and what her name is, and I'll take her away."

This domineering tone made Liu Meiyan want to burst out laughing. This girl really didn't know the immensity of the world. Did she think that just because she had practiced kung fu for a day and had a powerful force behind her, she could do whatever she wanted in this martial arts world?

You have to understand, this world isn't all that wonderful. Putting aside the evil sects, even some righteous sects in the martial arts world are doing despicable things under the guise of being upright.

Their Wu family was originally just an ordinary family, but in the end, they were slaughtered by those who were controlled by their desires. Almost all the men were killed, and only some women and children survived. However, they were also brought here to live a life worse than death.

"Listen to your sister, leave this place. Don't worry about your friend's affairs anymore. The waters here are very deep. Even if your master came, he wouldn't be able to handle things here."

“Take my daughter and leave here. As for me, I am just a withered woman. What need is there for me to go out? Even if I die, I am afraid I will not have the face to see Wenying.”

Thinking of her husband, a nostalgic smile appeared on the woman's face. It was a beautiful smile, the most beautiful smile she had seen on Lin Xueyi since she entered. But behind that smile lay a bloody memory.

She didn't know what kind of emotions she was feeling inside; it was painful, complicated, and also had a very strange sense of violence.

"Sister, what is your daughter's name? Tell me, and I'll take her away."

Knowing that the woman wouldn't leave, Lin Xueyi felt it necessary to take her daughter away first, and then bring the woman out after settling her daughter in.

Hmm, tomorrow then. She'll go find trouble with that Luo Jiushang tomorrow. She refuses to believe that this guy can become a spirit. She, a grandmaster, can't flatten him.

Hearing the young girl in front of her say that, Liu Meiyan knew that she would definitely help her take her daughter out, but she still needed an opportunity, and tonight's opportunity was not enough.

“My daughter, Wu Wenting, is not here. She is in the city lord’s mansion, working as a maid.”

Yes, the mother and daughter were not together. The mother stayed here while the daughter went to the city lord's mansion. This was something she had traded her life for.
