I, a prison guard in the Heavenly Prison, secretly became invincible thanks to the system.

Yangchun Lane, Fireworks Pavilion.

The once quiet place for listening to music and enjoying tea is now surrounded by a large crowd.

An area in front of the gate tower was left unattended, while the surrounding crowd whispered among themselves and pointed at the fireworks tower from time to time.

A young master had just come out of the private school and was unaware of what had happened in the past few days; he simply found it strange.

In the past, when the girls at the brothel opened for business, these men would have wanted to grow two extra legs to squeeze in. Why are they all so well-behaved today?

He nudged the person next to him and said, "Brother, what's going on? Why are you all standing outside and not going in?"

"Don't you know? The sixth young master of the Xie family is inside. He hasn't come out for days. That guy's face is like frost. Being around him is like being in an ice cellar. Who would dare to go in?"

"The sixth young master of the Xie family! He's one of the top young masters in Jinling City, how can he be so domineering?"

"Hmph, even the most elegant gentleman can't escape the allure of love."

"Brother, you jest. With Sixth Young Master's reputation, how could girls from brothels possibly catch his eye? Besides, if they could win his favor, they would have left with him long ago. Why would they need to perform in brothels?"

The young man shook his head repeatedly, his expression showing disbelief.

The person next to him sneered, "It's a pity that he fell in love with Wan Yi, who is even more indifferent than him."

"What! Miss Wanyi! This guy is so domineering, he actually wants to have our Miss Wanyi all to himself, I won't allow it!"

The young master immediately became anxious and began to cheer for Miss Wanyi.

Hopefully she can resist temptation, stay true to her original aspirations, and not be tainted by worldly affairs.

In fact, among these onlookers were many who were just there for the spectacle, but quite a few were there to bolster Wan Yi's confidence.

This situation has continued for two days.

The girls who owned the brothel were all extremely anxious.

At this moment, in the lobby on the first floor.

Xie Jinghong sat alone, drinking tea with a blank expression.

On the stage, two young and beautiful girls sang and played their instruments cautiously, afraid of offending the master.

The female owner of the brothel also stood speechlessly in the waiting area.

If anyone else had done this, he would have had them kicked out long ago. After all, the brothel had a powerful backer to maintain its foothold in Yangchun Lane.

Unfortunately, it wouldn't work this time. The sixth young master of the Xie family could split those five words in two, and no matter which one, they were both people she couldn't afford to offend. Her powerful backer could only pretend to be dead.

The female boss muttered helplessly to herself, "My daughter, my daughter, how did you manage to offend this man? If this continues, I can't hold on any longer..."

At this moment, Wan Yi's maidservant walked over with her head down.

The female boss immediately grabbed her: "Xiao Hong, has the girl given in yet?"

Xiao Hong shook her head and said, "The young lady said to wait."

"Still waiting! It's been two days already, what can she possibly do now..."

The female boss looked desperate, thinking to herself, "Is Wan Yi scared and trying to drag this out indefinitely?"

While she was struggling with this decision.

Outside the brothel, a young man in black robes walked slowly over.

"Brother, please make way."

Ye Kang patted the person in front of him on the shoulder.

The man was none other than the young master who had just been cheering for Wan Yi. Upon seeing this, he quickly made a shushing gesture.

"Don't be so loud! If Xie Jinghong hears you, we're doomed!"

Ye Kang smiled and squeezed in from the middle.

The crowd tried to stop him, but Ye Kang had already slipped inside.

"Holy crap! Who is this guy?! He's so brave!"

"I think I recognize him. He's the one Miss Wanyi met with alone before!"

"What! This guy is so lucky!"

"This is terrible! If Xie Jinghong finds out about this, he'll tear him apart..."

Everyone was terrified, and some nosy individuals had already revealed themselves as spectators.

Ye Kang ignored them, strode in, and said loudly, "Waiter, a pot of cold tea and a plate of snacks."

As he spoke, he slapped two taels of silver onto the table with a clanging sound.

The girl singing and playing instruments on stage, and the female boss who was secretly observing, were both stunned.

Xie Jinghong glanced at him slightly, but Ye Kang ignored her and casually sat down, even stretching comfortably.

"What are you doing? Where's the waiter? Can't you see we have customers?!"

The female boss gave the trembling waiter a wink, and the latter hurriedly came out with the herbal tea and snacks.

"Sir, I'm sorry, the brothel will not be performing today. Please leave."

"When you're open for business, there's no reason to turn away customers."

Ye Kang looked at Xie Jinghong, who was sitting upright, and laughed, "Could it be that a bad guest has arrived and you're not allowed to do business?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression turned cold.

For a moment, you could hear a pin drop.

Xie Jinghong was quite frank, replying calmly, "I have never forbade people from doing business; it's just that they themselves are unwilling to come in."

Ye Kang nodded: "That's right, let's call someone in to listen to the music."

"Guest, this..."

"What? The brothel doesn't want to stay open anymore?"

No sooner had Ye Kang finished speaking than Xiao Hong, a maid on the second floor, suddenly shouted loudly.

"Miss Wanyi has come downstairs. Please, everyone, take your seats!"

Immediately, Ye Kang and Xie Jinghong looked up at the same time.

The female boss opened her mouth wide.

The crowd of onlookers outside the door were also taken aback.

"Miss Wan Yi has shown up!"

"She's inviting us in to listen to her play the piano. Shall we go?"

"Go away! You don't even dare to go in, yet you dare to say you love Miss Wanyi!"

With someone taking the lead, a group of high-ranking officials, nobles, and young masters rushed in.

However, no one dared to sit next to Xie Jinghong; all the seats next to him were empty, while the seats next to Ye Kang were completely full.

At this moment, Xiao Hong called out again, and everyone shut their mouths and eagerly awaited her reply.

On the second floor, the young lady, Wan Yi, slowly appeared.

Wearing a plain-colored long dress and light makeup, her long, flowing hair was casually tied up in a bun, simple yet elegant. The jade hairpin added to her mysterious and aloof air, revealing her inherent cool temperament.

As evening fell, I stepped onto the stage, where a simple ancient zither had already been brought up by the waiter.

She smiled slightly, her hands caressing the zither. The music immediately put everyone at ease, and they relaxed comfortably in their seats.

Xie Jinghong was also captivated, her eyes not on the zither, but only on the pair of jade-like hands playing it, the gentle smile, and those noble eyes...

wrong!

Who are those eyes looking at?

Xie Jinghong gritted her teeth and was shocked to discover that Wan Yi was secretly glancing at Ye Kang while playing the zither.

As for their own side, they didn't even glance at it from beginning to end!

Why!

Xie Jinghong clenched her fists, a pang of sorrow rising in her heart.

Why……

I've sacrificed so much for you, even setting aside my pride as a young master from a prestigious family, enduring infamy and family pressure, all just to make you smile...

Why aren't you looking at me!

Xie Jinghong's eyes were bloodshot with rage. His originally indifferent expression was slightly distorted, his straight body trembled a little, and his true energy surged wildly within his wide embroidered robe.

Finally, he stood up abruptly. The long table in front of him was tumbled over by the force of his released energy and rolled to the front of the stage.

Such a commotion immediately made everyone's hearts skip a beat, and they looked at him in disbelief.

What...is this guy trying to do...?
