Master, don't tease me, you can't handle three of them.

"Have you found anything unusual?" Tang Gu asked.

Liu Hao and Yu Fan shook their heads.

“I know something different,” Liu Yao raised her hand to answer. “I found Ren Gongzi’s former servant. According to him, Ren Gongzi was a dissolute playboy before his marriage. Even after marriage, he didn’t change his ways and had an affair with another woman. He only broke off the relationship after his parents found out. Oh, and by the way, he also liked to visit brothels!”

Yu Fan stared in disbelief, "So detailed?"

Liu Yao chuckled, "I used a little special method..."

"The one I investigated also frequented brothels. It was the deceased's younger brother who said that; no one else knew," Tang Gu said.

“My investigation also has some connection to brothels. These were painted by Zhang Lei before his death.” Jing Shu took out the paintings of beauties and continued, “Tonight, let’s go to a brothel. Focus our investigation on these people.”

After he finished speaking, a brief silence fell over the air.

“Uncle Jing, at our age, we’ll be kicked out if we go in,” Liu Hao said seriously, “especially you and your little sister.”

"..."

Oh, so minors are not allowed in?

In the end, only Tang Gu went to the brothel.

Shit.

Three more quietly followed behind.

"Uncle-Master, your pills are surprisingly effective." Yu Fan stroked his beard and couldn't help but admire them.

"The Transformation Pill only lasts for one hour, so be mindful of the time." Jing Shu, disguised as an adult with a stoic expression, spoke with increasing aloofness.

Liu Yao didn't follow. In her words, she didn't want to grow xx, even if it was fake.

The women in the painting are in different brothels, and the three of them are acting separately.

Jing Shu chose the Yihong Courtyard.

As soon as he entered, Jing Shu was overwhelmed by the smell of various cosmetics.

"Oh~ Is this your first time here, young master?" A scantily clad woman approached and tried to take Jing Shu's arm.

Jing Shu stepped aside and said, "I'm here to find your courtesan, Yu Miao'er."

The woman wasn't annoyed that Jing Shu had avoided her. She smiled and said, "So you've come to see Sister Yu. Sister Yu doesn't see people easily."

Jing Shu directly pulled out a piece of gold.

The woman's eyes lit up when she saw this, and she became even more respectful, saying, "Young master, please go up to the second floor. The innermost private room is there. However, if you want to see Sister Yu, you must compete with others in drinking contests. Only the winner will be qualified to see her."

Jing Shu placed the gold in the woman's hand and then turned and went upstairs.

As soon as Jing Shu pushed open the door, he saw four or five men holding wine jugs and drinking contests. At the far end of the room was a screen, and sitting inside was probably Yu Miao'er.

A young boy stepped forward and said, "Young master, you've also come to see the courtesan, haven't you? The gentleman before you has already drunk up to the tenth jar. Would you like to join in?"

Jing Shu nodded, found an empty seat and sat down. Then, the maids on both sides brought over several jars of wine. "Young master, please."

Drinking alcohol is not difficult; once the alcohol is ingested, spiritual energy evaporates it.

In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Jing Shu had already drunk his tenth jar. The previous person had only drunk his twelfth jar before he couldn't take it anymore.

It was only a matter of time before he drank with others, but he was so full... Plus, the room wasn't well-ventilated, and the smell of cosmetics mixed with the smell of alcohol, making Jing Shu feel dizzy.

At this moment, Jing Shu's communication jade slip suddenly lit up.

Ah... it's Master.

Jing Shu stared at it for a while, then clicked on it as if possessed.

There was no sound from the other end of the jade slip, and Jing Shu did not speak either.

"Drink! Keep drinking!" A middle-aged man with a large belly, drunk, started acting crazy.

"You're drinking."

This is an affirmative sentence.

"Looks like I won't be seeing the courtesan. Where are the other beauties? Bring them up for me!" the man continued his drunken antics.

"Still in a brothel."

Oh, the tone has become more forceful.

Jing Shu remained silent, silently drinking his wine.

"Ah."

It seems like she's angry.

"Hmm," Jing Shu mumbled a low "hmm." He felt he was doomed if he didn't respond soon.

A cold laugh seemed to come from the other end of the jade slip. Jing Shu didn't hear it clearly, but his intuition told him that there was murderous intent!

So he hung up the call.

Jing Shu put the jade slip away and rubbed his temples. He felt like he was acting like a madman.

The game ends when the thirteenth cup is finished.

The other guests were led out of the room, and Jing Shu also regained consciousness.

Yu Miao'er got up and walked out from behind the screen. She wore a red gauze dress, her jade-like skin was faintly visible, her eyes were upturned at the corners, and a red mole at the corner of her eye was particularly eye-catching. She truly deserved the title of the most beautiful courtesan.

But Jing Shu seemed oblivious, reacting indifferently.

The fluctuations in spiritual energy can only be seen when spiritual energy is used. Should we force her to make a move? No, there are too many people here.

Just as Jing Shu was thinking about how to test her, Yu Miao'er spoke up.

"Young master, you already have a family, why do you still come to brothels for pleasure?"

Huh?

Jing Shu's mind went completely blank.

"What did you say?"

“I saw what you were holding, young master. So you are a cultivator. But even if you are a cultivator, you shouldn’t be hiding from your wife to come here and have fun.” Yu Miao’er’s eyes were slightly reproachful.

"He...it's not him." Recalling his master's face, he couldn't bring himself to say the word "wife." His already expressionless face now looked like it was about to crack open.

"Young master, are you trying to deceive me? Just now, your expression was exactly like a cat caught stealing fish~"

Yu Miao'er smiled and was about to say something more when a fist imbued with spiritual power rushed towards her, stopping just short of her nose.

Yu Miao'er's eyes widened, and she collapsed to the ground.

"I apologize for any offense, farewell." Before he finished speaking, Jing Shu had already disappeared.

As soon as Jing Shu left the Yi Hong Courtyard, the cool evening breeze completely woke him up.

Damn it! I've exposed my identity. If Yu Miao'er is an ordinary person, it's fine, but if she isn't, this is a huge problem. Recalling her reaction just now, I can't find anything wrong with it, but I can't say for sure that she was prepared.

And Master… Jing Shu suddenly stopped in his tracks. It seemed, really, that he was in deep trouble!

Jing Shu was truly panicked now. What should he do? Should he call back and explain the situation?

He didn't dare; he was afraid his master would fly directly from the Cloud Burial Sect to beat him up. Or should he go back and talk about it later? His master was easy to appease; giving him more food should cheer him up, right?

Just as Jing Shu was trying to reassure himself, the communication jade slip lit up again. Jing Shu stiffened slightly, and only after mentally preparing himself did he take out the jade slip.

When the words "Senior Brother" on the jade slip came into view, Jing Shu's heart finally settled.

I was terrified! It turned out to be my senior brother.

As soon as Jing Shu opened the app, Gu Meng's voice came through.

"Senior brother! Senior brother and I found a little rabbit while playing in the flower field today! It's super cute! Senior brother, do you want to come and see it?"

"Senior brother is still busy, how about next time?" Jing Shu politely declined.

"Junior brother." Shi Chuan's voice suddenly rang out. "Master ordered me to find you immediately and keep an eye on you before you return to the sect."

Jing Shu's relaxed mood became tense again.

"Junior brother, what did you do?" Shi Chuan was very puzzled; he had never seen his master so angry.
