The two chatted about other things for a while, and the competition below was finally about to officially begin.

A person on the side announced the rules of the game, saying that harmony is the most important thing and that the game should stop when it is over.

Amid the cheers, the first person to come on stage was the one who had been winning this month.

The man was dressed simply, the kind that looked pale from washing, with an immature face, just a young boy of sixteen or seventeen years old. His body was also very thin, one could describe it as skinny, and it looked like he was suffering from malnutrition.

He looked so fragile, but there was an unruly smile on his lips.

The man on the opposite side was strong and half a head taller than him. If they were both ordinary people, there would be no suspense about the outcome.

Wei WuXian said: “This guy is too thin, so skinny.”

Nie Huaisang said: "Don't look at his thinness, he is quite smart."

Wei WuXian would know the reason for the shock later.

The child was malnourished and thin. When he competed with others, they looked so strong in front of him that it seemed like he could kill them with just one punch.

Perhaps because of his small size, he was much more agile and fast than others. He knew he could not beat the man so he just kept wasting time and then found the right moment to strike. He hit the man in one blow and pressed the acupuncture point on the man's lower back. The man fell to his knees in pain and couldn't get up.

The boy won.

Wei WuXian said: “He does have some skills. If he practices hard, he will be a promising talent. Today is the end of the month, so the person below should be the final winner of this month.”

Nie Huaisang nodded: "Yes, I have come here to see him many times and have talked to him. He is very good at talking. Even if he doesn't win, I plan to take him in so that he can help with the work."

After watching this scene, Wei Wuxian and Nie Huaisang went back to find Lan Wangji.

Lan Wangji was sitting at a tea stall, and there were quite a few people standing around him, all of them were young girls of similar age.

Nie Huaisang said, "Your Second Young Master Lan is really popular. He has been surrounded by so many girls in just a short while. Maybe you don't know that the girls here are very bold. If they like someone, they will definitely express their feelings to him. It is common for them to give him purses, handkerchiefs, flowers, etc."

After Nie Huaisang finished speaking, Wei Wuxian indeed saw that Lan Wangji was holding a red purse in his hand. Although he knew that Lan Wangji would not accept gifts from others, he still couldn't help but have wild thoughts after seeing this scene.

Wei Wuxian strode over, squeezing into the crowd with the gait of a queen. When the girls saw him, their whispers became even happier.

"Look, here comes another one!"

"This one is so handsome, I've never seen one before, he must be from out of town!"

"He is very handsome, but also handsome in a different way!"

Seeing Wei Wuxian coming, Lan Wangji calmly put away the purse in his hand and stood up to greet him.

Wei Wuxian glanced at Lan Wangji's actions and didn't say anything. He bowed to the girls around him and was about to speak when a barrage of handkerchiefs fell on him. The scene was somewhat horrifying.

Wei Wuxian didn’t pay much attention when Nie Huaisang said this to him just now, but this action really shocked him.

No matter what, it was a thoughtful gesture. Wei WuXian hurriedly caught the things they threw to him one by one: "Well, everyone..."

Nie Huaisang rushed over and said, "Everyone, hold back a little. Don't scare my friend away."

The girls laughed quietly, "So they are the Second Young Master's friends."

Nie Huaisang bowed and said, "That's right."

After all, Nie Huaisang is the second son of the Nie family and often hangs out, so there is no one here who doesn't know him.

The girl said, "In this case, we should let the Second Young Master's friends feel the hospitality of Qinghe."

The laughter of the women here also attracted people from other places. After a while, the three of them were surrounded and taken into a restaurant. They couldn't escape halfway.

They arrived at the door of a brightly lit and magnificent store, which was the same store that Wei Wuxian and Nie Huaisang had just enjoyed.

After entering, the crowd dispersed. A very beautifully dressed woman walked over with a charming step: "Why is Second Master Nie so reserved today? He is not like this usually."

Nie Huaisang opened the fan and fanned himself, saying, "This is what Sister Rou said. Haven't I always been like this?"

Sister Rou smiled and circled around Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji.

The two of them were like prime meat falling into a wolf's den. If Wei Wuxian hadn't told Lan Wangji in advance that this was a legitimate business, Lan Wangji would have picked Wei Wuxian up and rushed out.

Nie Huaisang was holding back a smile; he hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

Sister Rou clapped her hands, and some waitresses and waiters came over: "You finally made the right choice to come to our place. I wonder if the second young master's friends have heard of us. We have everything you want to eat, drink and have fun."

Wei WuXian said, “I’ve never understood that.”

Sister Rou led the three of them into the box, which was decorated magnificently, giving people a feeling of extravagance and decadence.

Sister Rou introduced: "In this case, would you two gentlemen like to try our open-air hot spring? The spring water is naturally formed underground, clean and of suitable temperature. If you come to Qinghe and don't experience this once, it would be a waste of your trip."

"It's very comfortable." Another accompanying woman came over and looked at Wei WuXian and said, "Hey! Isn't this gentleman the one who just experienced our massage with Master Nie? How about it, do you want to try the hot spring again?"

Nie Huaisang did not answer for them, but just watched with interest how they responded.

When Wei WuXian heard the woman tell him about the massage he had just received, he suddenly felt his back stiffen.

The woman took a step back, moving a little further away from Wei Wuxian, and thought to herself: Why does this young man suddenly look so gloomy?

Wei Wuxian explained to Lan Wangji: “Lan Zhan, the massage was just a normal massage, nothing else.”

The woman said, "What are you talking about, sir? We are legitimate business people and we make clean money."

The woman looked a little unhappy, and Wei WuXian quickly said, “I’m sorry, my husband is quite traditional, and we just arrived here so we don’t know much about it. I just explained it to him, there’s no other meaning.”

No woman would like to be thought of as being in that kind of business.

Nie Huaisang quickly interrupted, "Sister Rou, my friends didn't do it on purpose. They have no ill intentions. Let me make the decision. You open two bathhouses for us. No other people, just prepare food and drinks."
