Divine Emperor Demon Emperor

Chapter 496: Chapter 496: Unexpected Discovery

The next evening, Lin Yun led He Yuntian and Bai Zhicheng out of the Bai Family residence, swaggering brazenly. They didn’t request a carriage from the Bai Family; the three of them simply started walking toward Chunfeng Tower.

He knew they were definitely being watched, but Lin Yun paid it no mind. They followed the road all the way to Chunfeng Tower. Even before stepping inside, Lin Yun could sense that this place was an absolute paradise on earth.

The exterior walls were pink, and even outside the entrance, several young women in sheer-gauze robes were striking seductive poses.

”Haha, come on. Let’s go see for ourselves if this land of pleasure is truly a hero’s grave,” Lin Yun said to Bai Zhicheng and He Yuntian beside him, letting out a deliberate laugh.

The three walked straight into Chunfeng Tower. Upon entering the main hall, they were met with the sight of a hundred-square-meter pool of wine. Even more eye-catching was the fact that four completely naked young women were dancing gracefully within it.

’So it’s a real-life pool of wine and forest of meat,’ he thought, shaking his head inwardly. ’If Guan Renjie and Lu Tao were here, they’d probably never want to leave.’

Seeing that no one was attending to Lin Yun’s group, a slightly older madam came forward and greeted them enthusiastically. ”Young Masters, from the looks of it, this must be your first time at Chunfeng Tower?”

Although this madam was a bit older, her full figure and pretty face, compared to the younger girls, gave her an air of mature charm.

Hearing this, Lin Yun said nonchalantly, ”Get me a private room, some food and wine, and find a few good-looking girls.”

As he spoke, Lin Yun tossed the madam a hundred Low Grade Primordial Stones. Most people wouldn’t be so extravagant as to hand over a hundred Low Grade Primordial Stones right away.

Then, seeing that Lin Yun was a man of fine bearing, and that even Bai Zhicheng and He Yuntian behind him looked like young nobles, the madam became even more enthusiastic.

She respectfully led the three of them to the second floor and found them a chic private room. Lin Yun’s group didn’t have to wait long before, just as expected, three scantily clad young women walked in.

As women of a pleasure house, they naturally knew how to please men. The moment they entered, the three young women began to act coquettishly.

Since Li Tian and the others hadn’t arrived yet, Lin Yun could only wait here. And since he was putting on an act, he had to see it through to the end. For a time, Lin Yun truly transformed into a hedonistic young master who reveled in wine and women.

With one arm around a young woman and a wine cup in the other hand, he drank continuously with Bai Zhicheng and He Yuntian.

It wasn’t as if the other two had never been to a place like this. Seeing Lin Yun take the lead, they gradually loosened up, their hands growing more and more restless, provoking delicate gasps from the two women.

Just as the three of them were fooling around, a beautiful melody from a guqin suddenly drifted over. Upon hearing the music, Lin Yun, who had been laughing and joking, abruptly grew serious.

It wasn’t that the music was unpleasant; it was because Lin Yun had heard this piece before. The melody was still fresh in his mind—he had heard it during his first visit to the Qing Zhu Tavern.

’Qing Zhu Tavern...’ Lin Yun wondered. ’Why would a piece from the Qing Zhu Tavern be played here at Chunfeng Tower?’

Something was definitely not right. Lin Yun turned to the young woman beside him. Putting on a lecherous expression, he asked casually, ”Who’s playing this piece? It’s really beautiful.”

”You may not know this, Young Master, but that’s our Miss Xiaoqing playing. She’s the top star of our Chunfeng Tower. Most people don’t even get the chance to hear her play a single piece,” the young woman replied truthfully, not thinking much of it.

Hearing the woman’s words, Lin Yun laughed loudly. ”Beautiful, beautiful.” As he spoke, he deliberately groped her, provoking another gasp.

”By the way, did Miss Xiaoqing write this piece herself?” After chatting a bit longer, Lin Yun asked again.

”That I don’t know. But Miss Xiaoqing usually writes her own music. She never deigns to play pieces written by others,” the young woman replied.

Hearing this, Lin Yun became even more determined to investigate. He had found Qing Zhu inscrutable from the very beginning, and now this was happening at such a critical moment.

Just now, a sudden intuition struck Lin Yun. ’Could this mysterious organization be related to Qing Zhu?’

Even Lin Yun himself found this thought unbelievable—could Qing Zhu’s influence really be that great? But it was better to be safe than sorry, and his intuition told him that this couldn’t be a mere coincidence.

The mysterious organization’s stronghold is in Wind City, and a piece from the Qing Zhu Tavern has also appeared in Wind City. And where is the Qing Zhu Tavern? The Yanhuang Capital, countless miles from Wind City. Would someone from the Qing Zhu Tavern really come all the way to this Chunfeng Tower?

Pretending to be captivated by Xiaoqing’s music, Lin Yun asked the young woman to take him to where Xiaoqing was so that he could listen to the piece more clearly.

The young woman didn’t find Lin Yun’s request strange. She led him out of the private room, leaving Bai Zhicheng and He Yuntian still happily enjoying themselves.

They made their way to the third floor, which was vast but contained only a single room. A crowd of people had already gathered at the doorway. Using his Elemental Power, Lin Yun forced his way through the throng blocking the entrance and finally got a clear view of the situation inside.

A young woman sat behind a gauze curtain, her fingers gently stroking the guqin before her. Although the curtain obscured the view, he could still vaguely make out her features. ’This must be Xiaoqing,’ Lin Yun thought.

If Gong Lingqi had been here, he would have rushed forward without a second thought, because this Xiaoqing was none other than Guang Xuanji.

Lin Yun had never met Guang Xuanji, so he naturally didn’t know that Xiaoqing was her. However, when Lin Yun saw the person sitting opposite Guang Xuanji, his eyes narrowed.

The He Family Master... That’s right, the person Xiaoqing was entertaining was precisely the He Family Master. He was currently reclining on a comfortable lounge chair, sipping wine and enjoying Xiaoqing’s music. As for the He Family’s old steward, he stood motionless behind the He Family Master, just as he always did.

’What’s he doing here?’ Lin Yun felt a surge of alarm. ’This is too much of a coincidence, isn’t it? A song from the Qing Zhu Tavern appears in Chunfeng Tower, the mysterious organization’s base is also in Wind City, and now even the He Family Master has shown up here.’

However, Lin Yun didn’t notice that while he was staring at the He Family Master, Guang Xuanji, who had been playing the guqin all along, had also seen him. Guang Xuanji naturally recognized Lin Yun’s face. Seeing his suspicious expression, a faint smile graced the corners of her lips.

Not noticing Guang Xuanji’s expression, Lin Yun’s only thought now was to stop Li Tian from bringing the three patriarchs to Chunfeng Tower. Taking out his Communication Token, Lin Yun tapped his fingers rhythmically on its surface a few times—a signal he and Li Tian had agreed upon beforehand.

For times when it was inconvenient to speak but a message had to be conveyed immediately, they would use these rhythmic taps as a substitute. The meaning of Lin Yun’s taps just now was to have Li Tian cancel today’s plan and tell the three patriarchs to go back quietly.
