After dinner, the lights in the Shen Mansion gradually dimmed, but the night in Tongxian City had just begun.

Shen Yuanbao pulled Lu Yun and as soon as they walked out of the mansion, they were like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, excitedly leading the way.

When Shen Yuanbao and Lu Yun stepped out of the mansion, a cool breeze of the night blew towards them, making them feel relaxed and happy.

"Brother Lu, do you know that the night in Tongxian City is more vivid than the day?"

"If we hadn't met so late, I would have dragged you from the East Market to the West Market, from Baicao Hall to Lingbao Pavilion, and visited all the fun places and delicious stalls in this city!"

Shen Yuanbao shook his head as he spoke, with regret and pity flashing in his eyes, but then he smiled.

"However, today, I want to let you, Brother Lu, experience the luxurious enjoyment of Tongxian City. Let's go to Lianyanfang now. I will bear the pain and give it up, and spend a lot of money!"

Hearing this, Lu Yun's lips curled up slightly, with a hint of curiosity and anticipation in his eyes, "Lianyanfang? It sounds like an interesting place."

"Of course. Lianyanfang is one of the best entertainment places in Tongxian City. It gathers all kinds of monks. There are fine wines and delicious food, as well as singing and dancing. You will know it when you go there."

Shen Yuanbao was talking with saliva flying and gesticulating, appearing extremely excited.

As soon as he said it, Shen Yuanbao waved his hand, and someone immediately brought a gorgeously decorated carriage. The body of the carriage was carved with intricate cloud patterns, emitting a faint aura. At first glance, it was obvious that it was extraordinary.

The cart was pulled by a rare beast, the Cangyunju, which was covered with cloud-like silver hair. Its four hooves stepped on the ground without making any sound.

"Look at this Cangyun colt. I bought it from overseas at a huge price. It's faster than a thunderbolt and has amazing endurance. There's no other horse like it in the entire Tongxian City!"

Shen Yuanbao proudly introduced the horse to Lu Yun, his words revealing his infinite love for the horse.

Lu Yun looked at the carriage and raised his eyebrows. "This carriage is too ostentatious, isn't it? Can't we be more low-key?"

Shen Yuanbao laughed and patted Lu Yun on the shoulder. "Brother Lu, we are going to Lianyanfang. That place is all about appearance. Besides, I'm afraid this carriage is not worthy of your status."

"Brother, at your age, you are already a powerful Daluo Jinxian. Looking around, how many people can be like you? As a brother, I only have this little wealth. This carriage pulled by a Cangyun horse is already the best treat."

"Also, although Lianyanfang is open to everyone, you have to understand the atmosphere inside. Some people like to judge your background based on your car or the way you dress."

"If you are not strong enough, you will be a joke if you go there. I don't want my brother Lu to be looked down upon." Shen Yuanbao said seriously, and it was obvious that he was well aware of this kind of situation.

Hearing this, Lu Yun smiled faintly, secretly admiring Shen Yuanbao's attentiveness and consideration, "Then I'll obey your command, but don't bleed too much, I'm afraid I can't pay it back."

Shen Yuanbao waved his hand generously, "Don't talk about these things. We brothers talk about loyalty. There is no such thing as not paying it back."

Lu Yun wanted to say something, but Shen Yuanbao grabbed his arm and dragged him into the magnificently decorated carriage without any explanation.

Shen Yuanbao's strength was unexpectedly great, and Lu Yun was almost half-pushed and half-shoved to sit on the soft cushion. Just as he was about to speak, Shen Yuanbao took the lead and spoke with a beaming face.

"Brother, there's nothing more to say. Let me, Shen Yuanbao, take you out for some fun today and let you experience what the real nightlife of Tongxian City is like!"

Lu Yun looked at Shen Yuanbao's face which was filled with childish excitement, and seemed to be hesitant to speak. In the end, he just sighed, his eyes revealing a mixture of helplessness and curiosity.

"Okay, what exactly is this Lianyanfang that you admire so much?"

When Shen Yuanbao heard this, his eyes lit up and he almost jumped up from his seat, explaining with gestures and excitement.

"Oh, speaking of this Lianyanfang, it's really amazing. It is the best place to watch the sparks in the lake, one of the eight wonders of Tongxian City!"

He moved closer to Lu Yun and lowered his voice, as if he wanted to share some big secret.

"Do you know? On that lake, every night, thousands of pleasure boats are lifted up by spiritual power, and thousands of spiritual flames dance around the boats, illuminating the lake like a starry river. That scene is so stunning and beautiful that it takes your breath away!"

When Lu Yun heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and a smile hung on the corners of his mouth: "This is quite interesting, but is there any direct connection between this and Lianyanfang?"

Shen Yuanbao smiled mysteriously and drew a circle in the air with his fingers.

"You don't know this. As the saying goes, the water is bright and beautiful when it is sunny. The thousands of pleasure boats in the lake are all owned by Lanyanfang. Especially the largest one among them, which is the headquarters of Lanyanfang."

"That is a luxurious place that only elders of the three religions or above, or important figures in Kyushu, can go to."

When he said this, he paused deliberately, as if waiting for Lu Yun's reaction. Seeing that the other party was just listening quietly with a thoughtful gleam in his eyes, he continued to explain diligently.

"Besides, big brother, there's a whole other world inside that flagship. It's said there are delicious food, rare treasures, and... hehe, you know what I mean. Anyway, I guarantee you won't want to leave once you're there!"

Hearing this, Lu Yun's lips curled up with interest. He patted Shen Yuanbao on the shoulder and teased, "You can't tell that you are a kid, but you know how to enjoy yourself."

"Okay, I'll go with you today and see it for yourself."

When Shen Yuanbao heard this, he slapped his thigh with excitement and responded repeatedly: "Don't worry, brother, I, Shen Yuanbao, will do the job, so you can rest assured!"

The atmosphere in the carriage became relaxed and pleasant due to the two people's lively conversation and laughter. With Cang Yunju's steady steps, they gradually moved away from the hustle and bustle and headed towards the legendary Lianyanfang.

Inside the carriage, Shen Yuanbao and Lu Yun sat opposite each other. Although the carriage was speeding, it was unusually stable. The two chatted and laughed cheerfully, and hearty laughter could be heard from time to time, adding a bit of liveliness and joy to the night.

"Brother Lu, do you know that what Lianyanfang is most famous for is not its wine, nor the dancers, but..." Shen Yuanbao pretended to be mysterious and kept the question in suspense.

"What is it?" Lu Yun asked cooperatively, curiosity flashing in his eyes.

"It's the music played by the contemporary courtesan of Lianyanfang - the Mysterious Sound of the Great Dao!"

Fatty Shen looked mysterious.

"The owner of Lanyanfang and her disciples all practice Taoism through music. Whenever there are events or festivals, they will hold activities in Lanyanfang. The top participant in the activities will receive a piece of music played by the contemporary courtesan."
