Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1731: Chapter 1732: Hard to Guarantee...

”We were previously hiding in the secret chamber beneath the largest brothel in the Imperial City of Dongqing. Since Nuan Huan Pavilion is the largest brothel in the Imperial Capital of Xiyun, I suspect it might be his. It’s possible that there are secret chambers and tunnels beneath it as well.”

Hearing this, An Jing was silent for a moment before saying, ”You’re suspecting more than just this, aren’t you?”

Xiao Changyi nodded, ”Of course, I suspect much more. I think many brothels in Xiyun might be his. Back when he was in the Nan Shen area, almost everyone knew he liked beautiful people, so he often went to brothels, and it was in a brothel that Meng Lanqing captured him... It definitely makes one suspicious.”

An Jing, thoughtful, said, ”Now that you mention it, I think it’s very likely that not only many brothels in Xiyun are his, but perhaps there are many in Dongqing as well, and even in other countries. If this is indeed the case, it’s no wonder Slayer Tower has such a swift information network. Brothels are excellent places for intelligence gathering; even some nobles frequent these places for debauchery. Maybe just a few drinks would make them spill some secrets.”

Xiao Changyi sighed, ”I think so too.”

He paused, then continued, ”If it weren’t to save me and Se Se and the others, he wouldn’t have exposed the secret chamber beneath the Dongqing brothel to me. I did tell Chengyu about him being the Master of Slayer Tower, but I didn’t mention anything about the brothels. If Chengyu knew, Chengyu wouldn’t do anything to him, but it couldn’t be guaranteed that Chengyu wouldn’t target the brothels.”

”If Chengyu indeed finds out the location of Slayer Tower through the brothels, it’s also uncertain that Chengyu wouldn’t attempt to eradicate Slayer Tower for the sake of the people. Slayer Tower has committed so many wrongs, but if Chengyu confronts Slayer Tower, Gong Juechen, as the Master, would never stand aside. He would definitely resist Chengyu to the end... This situation is something I don’t want to see.” The more Xiao Changyi spoke, the heavier his heart became.

An Jing didn’t want to see this situation either, and her mood was also somewhat heavy, ”For now, we can only take the approach of persuading him, hoping he’ll listen and turn over a new leaf, abandoning evil ways for good.”

”Hm.” Xiao Changyi didn’t have much to say at this moment, just responded lightly, showing he thought the same.

At that moment, feeling his left leg being hugged softly, Xiao Changyi instinctively looked down and saw little An Yizhi hugging his leg with both small arms, happily shouting, ”Daddy... Daddy... hehe...”

Xiao Changyi’s heart instantly melted with cuteness, and the heavy mood was tossed to the back of his mind.

Bending down, Xiao Changyi leaned close to little An Yizhi and gently tapped An Yizhi’s nose, softly praising, ”You finally got it right.”

”Daddy...” Little An Yizhi seemed to enjoy Xiao Changyi tapping his nose, and after a gentle tap, he smiled and rubbed his nose against Xiao Changyi’s hand, making both An Jing and Xiao Changyi’s hearts melt with tenderness.

An Yiqi and An Yilin were still wobbling around in front, looking curious about everything. When they saw An Yizhi hugging their daddy’s leg, they also happily walked over to Xiao Changyi. An Yilin, being closer to Xiao Changyi, reached him first, and upon reaching, he hugged the other leg of Xiao Changyi.

An Yiqi arrived and, seeing that there were no legs left to hug from Xiao Changyi, wasn’t upset. Instead, he very straightforwardly turned his little body and hugged one of An Jing’s legs.
