After transmigrating, I made a name for myself through my culinary skills.

They weren't so reckless as to just rush into the Tibetan incense hall. Instead, they first sent two mercenaries from the Su family in to change clothes and scout the situation. They planned to wait until everything was alright before Ye Lan and the others went in.

However, the people inside the Cangxiang Courtyard wouldn't easily reveal information about their guests, so when the two mercenaries from the Su family came out of the courtyard, they found nothing. After they returned, Ye Lan and the others disguised themselves and decided to go in and investigate on their own.

This Tibetan incense brothel truly deserves its reputation as the most popular industry in Beigong City. Even in broad daylight, there are still many people coming and going. As soon as Ye Lan and his group arrived at the entrance of the Tibetan incense brothel, a woman soliciting customers welcomed them inside.

The woman leading the way was named Liu'er. She had been working at the Tibetan Incense Brothel for two years, but the brothel had very high standards. People with her looks and experience were not qualified enough, so she could only do jobs soliciting customers outside.

After Ye Lan and the others entered, they could see that there were many calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls of the corridor of Zangxiang Courtyard. Upon closer inspection, they could even see that the figures in the paintings were moving.

The Tibetan Incense Courtyard is maintained by an array, so the temperature inside is much warmer than outside, and the space is also very spacious. There is no pungent smell mixed with other fragrances that Ye Lan had imagined. There is also calming incense burning, which makes people feel relaxed.

The place is divided into five floors. They have just entered the first floor. In the middle of the hall, there is a group of dancers dancing, and two men are sitting next to them playing music for them. That's why everyone loves to come to Zangxiang Courtyard. They haven't seen any ugly people since they came in.

The dancers had graceful figures and moved with incredible suppleness. The lead dancer in the middle wore a revealing outfit that showed off her slender waist. A red thread hung around her waist, which made her skin look even whiter. She danced barefoot, her every step graceful and captivating, making everyone blush and their hearts race.

As Ye Lan and the others entered, the lead dancer's ribbon danced up to Ye Lan, almost touching his face before being pulled away, leaving only a lingering fragrance around him.

The lead dancer wore a thin veil, revealing only her alluring eyes. She smiled and winked at Ye Lan. A normal man would probably be completely captivated at this moment, but it had no effect on Ye Lan, who was gay. At most, he felt a little embarrassed.

Liu'er, who was leading the way, smiled and said, "Young master, you are very fortunate. This is Wanwan, the most beautiful courtesan in our Cangxiang Pavilion. She is greeting you because she sees your handsome appearance."

Ye Lan glanced at Jiang Ning's face, which was still turning dark despite his disguise, and didn't dare to say anything. He didn't need this kind of good fortune!

But he couldn't appear too strange, so he replied to Liu'er, "Then I am truly honored."

Liu'er chuckled: "Our Sister Wanwan only receives one distinguished guest a day. You've come at a good time today, catching her dancing. She'll be choosing her guests from among these distinguished guests later, and you might just be chosen."

"This is where the courtesan chooses her guests?" Ye Lan couldn't help but ask, "What if the guest she chooses doesn't like her?"

Liu'er looked at him strangely: "This is something I've never seen before."

Among all the girls in the Tibetan Incense Courtyard, the one who can be named the most beautiful must first and foremost be the most outstanding in appearance. Wanwan was able to be named the most beautiful girl, so her looks must be extraordinary. Would anyone really turn down the most beautiful girl and choose to be with an unattractive one?

Ye Lan then asked her, "What if the customer she chooses doesn't have money?"

"Young master is joking. Our sister Wanwan is not the kind of person who is greedy and disdains the poor. If she meets someone she likes, she may very well not take a penny. If she meets someone she doesn't like, even a thousand pieces of gold cannot buy her a smile."

Liu'er explained Wanwan's usual preferences when entertaining customers. As the top courtesan, the Cangxiang Courtyard gave her the right to choose her customers, and she could keep all the tips she received.

Ye Lan, as if she had heard something new and interesting, said, "So casually?"

They always thought that dancers could only be chosen by others.

"Yes, for someone like you, young master, who is favored by Sister Wanwan as soon as you enter, she doesn't charge a lot of money."

Jiang Ning seized the opportunity to speak up: "What if a guest like Sang Yu came? Would she choose him?"

Liu'er seemed to have spoken too quickly and replied directly, "Lord Sangyu does not need Sister Wanwan to receive him. He usually only seeks out Sister Yaoyao."

After saying that, she immediately covered her mouth, showing a regretful expression, and begged Ye Lan and the others not to tell anyone about it. Revealing guest information was a serious crime for them, and they would be punished by the manager.

Ye Lan comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, we won't tell anyone. But can we ask Miss Yao Yao to entertain us today?"

"Yes, but the next program is Yao Yao's, so we need to wait until she finishes her performance before we can ask for you."

Hearing Liu'er's words, Ye Lan's heart skipped a beat. If Yao Yao could receive them, then Sang Yu wasn't here today.

As she spoke, Liu'er led them to the top-floor private room, opened the door, and invited them in: "Gentlemen, you can watch the performance here first. After Sister Yao Yao finishes her performance, we'll invite her up."

After she finished doing all that, she stepped aside. The corridors and stairs of the Zangxiang Courtyard could be seen from the main hall, so there were many guests standing up watching the dance below. Ye Lan and the others did not immediately enter the private room.

They looked around carefully, scrutinizing the group of people gathered in the corridor watching the dance. They had inquired about Sang Yu's appearance before coming, but they couldn't find anyone in the group who matched the description.

At this moment, after Wanwan and the others finished their dance, many guests took out their spirit stones and pearls and threw them at them. These items were given as tips and split equally between the guests and the Tibetan Incense Courtyard.

The stage in the hall was clearly also set up with an array. These spirit stones were not thrown directly at the dancers; they only landed on the outer ring, piling up together and appearing to be numerous.

Jiang Nan was very envious after seeing it: "Wow, how many spirit stones can they earn in a day?"

It feels like all the spiritual herbs they dig up in a day wouldn't be as much as what she earns from this one dance.

Wanwan and the dancers bowed to thank the guests. When she straightened up, she glanced upstairs and met Ye Lan's eyes. She smiled sweetly, mobilized her spiritual power, and flew up to the highest floor of the Cangxiang Courtyard, the same floor where Ye Lan and the others were. The remaining dancers retreated down in order.

She walked up to Ye Lan, looked into his eyes, and said, "Young master, you look like an old friend of Wanwan's."

Wanwan was still barefoot, but instead of stepping on the ground, she was treading in mid-air, some distance above it. Being tall and standing in mid-air, she didn't appear much shorter than Ye Lan.

Ye Lan said to her, "That is indeed a coincidence, but this is my first time visiting this Tibetan Incense Courtyard."

"Would you be willing to be Wanwan's guest today, young master?"

"It is my honor to be chosen by Miss Wanwan, but today we have some matters to discuss with Miss Yaoyao, so we must decline your kind offer."

Ye Lan put it tactfully, hoping that this Miss Wanwan would find someone else.

"Young master, you may not know this, but there are many guests who want to see Sister Yao Yao. You may not be able to get an appointment with her. Besides, her appearance fee is very expensive. You can't hire her without spending thousands of high-grade spirit stones."

As if to confirm her words, Liu'er spoke up at this time: "What Sister Wanwan said is true. Sister Yaoyao can make an appointment with anyone, but the highest bidder wins. If you want to make an appointment with her, you need to name your price first and write it down on a piece of paper. She will choose the customer with the highest price."

Jiang Ning looked at Liu'er when he heard this; she hadn't mentioned this to them earlier.

Wanwan's eyes were ambiguous as she said to Ye Lan, "I find you pleasing to the eye, so I can call Sister Yaoyao over for you. Moreover, I can have your expenses at the Cangxiang Pavilion waived today. Our Cangxiang Pavilion doesn't mind two women serving one man."

Ye Lan wanted to refuse again: "Thank you, young lady, but this..."

Wanwan interrupted him directly: "Young master, do you perhaps look down on me?"

Her expression and tone were quite aggrieved, which melted people's hearts, but the other two were gay, and there was also the clueless Jiang Nan, so she was not affected.

Finally, Jiang Ning used his divine sense to say to Ye Lan, "You leave her to gather information. If I ask someone else later, we don't know the market, so we might not be able to guess the price correctly."

Ye Lan agreed in her mind and turned to the dancer, saying, "Then thank you very much, Miss Wanwan, for today."

Wanwan then put away her tearful expression and took Ye Lan's arm, saying, "Then please come inside, young master."

Ye Lan broke free slightly and walked into the private room. The room was decorated in a somewhat ambiguous way, and the tables and chairs were made of golden nanmu wood. There was also a small echo array, so the music playing below could be heard clearly from above.

At that moment, Yao Yao was reciting a poem below. Ye Lan heard one line: "The world changes in an instant, may you not break the promise of eternal life."

Her melodious singing, coupled with the pipa she played, evoked pity in the listener. Ye Lan didn't listen any further because Wanwan was so enthusiastic that he had to focus his attention on dealing with her.

After Yao Yao finished singing, the number of people who tipped her was only slightly less than the number who tipped Wan Wan earlier. After she stepped off the stage, someone whispered something in her ear. She nodded and went upstairs with the person, holding her pipa.

There were still performances to come, so no one else left the corridor. They watched as Yao Yao entered Ye Lan's private room.

Some people were puzzled: "Who is this person? How did he manage to hire two of the top courtesans from the Tibetan Incense Courtyard at the same time?"

They saw it when Miss Wanwan was talking to Ye Lan.

When Yao Yao entered Ye Lan's private room, she saw Wanwan pouring wine for the guests. She was dressed very provocatively and deliberately leaned against the young guest while pouring the wine, making the guest blush.

The guest Wanwan approached was Ye Lan. Even though Ye Lan had seen more revealing women in modern times, he had never been this close. When this woman poured wine, her chest was almost touching his shoulder. In the end, Jiang Ning couldn't stand it anymore and made an excuse to pull him over to look at the books that had just been taken off the bookshelf, and he managed to get away.

After Jiang Ning opened the booklet, the pictures inside came to life, like a scroll painting. He found it quite novel and said, "This booklet is exquisitely made."

Jiang Nan also came over to look and chimed in, "Yeah, this seems to be a story?"

Wanwan had already poured the wine and, looking at the picture book, said to them, "This is the story of the first Palace Master of Beigong saving all living beings in Beigong. If you like it, young master, you can take it with you later."

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu'er's voice came from outside the door: "Sister Yao Yao has arrived."

If Wanwan is described as charming and alluring, with captivating eyes, then Yaoyao is completely different; she is like a clear spring, aloof and detached.

Yao Yao came to them, holding her pipa, and bowed to them, saying, "Yao Yao greets the three gentlemen."

Jiang Ning and the others looked at them as if they had seen a savior: "Please sit down, Miss Yao Yao."

Yao Yao sat down next to Jiang Ning. Seeing that they didn't ask her to play the zither and sing like the other guests, she asked, "May I ask what business you gentlemen have with me?"

Seeing that she was straightforward, Jiang Ning didn't hide anything and said directly, "Miss Yao Yao, I have a favor to ask of you."

Yao Yao: "Please speak, young master."

Jiang Ning: "I've heard that when Sang Yu comes to Zangxiang Academy, he often visits Miss Yao Yao. I have something I'd like to ask him for help with. I wonder if you could help introduce me?"

Upon hearing this request, Yao Yao immediately gave a negative answer: "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, young master. I can't contact Lord Sang Yu directly. He usually comes to me, and that's how I get to see him."

These words made Ye Lan, who was listening nearby, become a little anxious: "Then do you know where we can find him?"

Na Wanwan chimed in from the side, "Are you looking for Lord Sang Yu?"

Ye Lan: "Yes."

Wanwan said, "Then why don't we ask Fu Niang?"

Jiang Ning: "Fu Niang?"

“Fu Niang is the person in charge here.” To explain more clearly, Wanwan added, “She’s what you call a madam.”

Ye Lan: "Is it convenient for you to see her?"

They all shook their heads: "Fu Niang is usually not seen by anyone."

Jiang Nan asked her, "And what about unusual times?"

Wanwan smiled and said, "She only appears when there are important people around."

Jiang Ning: "Then it seems we'll have to find another way."

Knowing they wouldn't find Sang Yu today, Ye Lan and the other two got up to leave, but Wanwan grabbed their sleeves.

Wanwan looked at Ye Lan and said, "But I find you pleasing to the eye today. Why don't you beg me, young master, to plead with Fu Niang and ask her to grant you a meeting with your friend?"

Jiang Ning reminded him, "Be careful, it might be a trap."

Ye Lan didn't say anything, but gave her a deep look and pulled open his sleeve. At this moment, he also felt that Wanwan was being a little too attentive. He didn't believe in the idea of ​​free lunches falling from the sky.

Wanwan then said coquettishly, "If you don't cherish this opportunity now, I won't help you next time. Who knows when you'll be able to find Sang Yu again."

This undoubtedly struck a chord with Ye Lan. They didn't have much time to waste searching for people, so he simply said two words: "Please."

Wanwan was satisfied with his reaction: "If I manage to find out about Sang Yu for you, how will you thank me, young master?"

Ye Lan: "Then why don't we ask you how you would like me to express my gratitude?"

"Then have a meal with me. I haven't seen my old friend in a long time. Consider it a favor to ask you to do me this, and we'll make up for it."

Only when she said this did her expression become slightly serious, as if she was treating Ye Lan this way because he resembled her old friend.

This wouldn't be a loss for Ye Lan, so he said, "Okay."

After receiving this answer, Wanwan went out to ask for help on their behalf.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ning, Ye Lan, and Jiang Nan, who remained here, frantically devised a plan within their divine senses. They were not as at ease with Wanwan as they appeared on the surface.
