The Thirteenth Young Master's outing, no matter how coincidental, had left the Ye Family members feeling a chill down their spines. This incident proved that their security measures had loopholes.
Because of this, after the incident, the Ye Family began to rectify the security measures at the Ye Manor. And some subsequent events made this matter even more interesting.
Regarding this issue, it wasn't the most exciting part of the event. What was more exciting was where the Thirteenth Young Master went after leaving and where he spent his three days.
At that time, after the Thirteenth Young Master left, he looked at the fresh scenery on both sides and momentarily forgot what he was supposed to do. He just wandered around the city aimlessly.
This was his first time going out, and everything was so new.
Fortunately, this was the Imperial Capital, and it was in the area of the powerful and wealthy. Therefore, the security in the vicinity was very good. Even though the gorgeously dressed Thirteenth Young Master was wandering alone on the street, no one had any ill intentions towards him.
Perhaps it was because there were too many noble young masters and young ladies like him walking around the nearby streets. However, they were all accompanied by attendants. Perhaps it was also because of this that some people assumed the Thirteenth Young Master also had attendants and mistook others' attendants for his.
Later, the Thirteenth Young Master suddenly remembered his purpose and began to look for someone. What purpose? Didn't you know? He came out specifically to squander and be a prodigal son.
The Thirteenth Young Master casually asked someone and got an answer: if he wanted to be a prodigal son, there was a very good place in the city to burn money, where many dissolute young men went to squander.
He couldn't remember who that person was, and if he did, that person would have a terrible time, because everyone present now had the urge to slap that person to death.
If you knew what kind of place it was, you would understand why you would have such an urge, and perhaps you would also have the same urge.
"Wind Flower Snow Moon Tower!" At that moment, the Thirteenth Young Master slowly uttered the name of the place.
"Pfft..." The tea that Ye Yi and Ye Chengtian had just drunk was immediately spat out.
"What?! What did you say? Wind Flower Snow Moon Tower?" Ye Yi and Ye Chengtian asked in shock, their mouths still containing a few bits of tea leaves.
"Mm!" The Thirteenth Young Master nodded.
"Chengtian, what kind of place is the Wind Flower Snow Moon Tower?" Long Anqi asked with confusion. Judging by her reaction, she didn't know this place. However, she could tell that her husband and father-in-law both knew about it.
"This... that is the Imperial Capital's most upscale... brothel..." Ye Chengtian said somewhat sheepishly.
"Oh, so it's a brothel. No wonder you're embarrassed to say it. You men... What?! A brothel?" Long Anqi didn't react at first, but then she suddenly realized.
Brothel was just a more elegant term. The common term was a whorehouse. A five-year-old child going to such a place was simply unacceptable to anyone.
No wonder they couldn't find him for three days. So he was in such a place. Who would have thought to look for a five-year-old child in such a place?
"Son, tell me, what did the person who told you about this place look like? I'm going to kill him!!" Long Anqi's face turned pale green, and her murderous aura was so strong that no one would doubt her words.
It was no wonder she was like this. No matter what, how could someone introduce a child to that place to squander money?
"He had a pair of eyes, a nose..." The Thirteenth Young Master recalled bit by bit. However, the features he described, apart from proving that the person was human, could not prove anything else.
"..."
"Forget it. It's good that he's back. It's just spending some money. Anyway, he can't have anything he wants now," Ye Chengtian said, his expression very strange.
"Hmph, it's best that he didn't do anything strange, otherwise I'll tear down that so-called Wind Flower Snow Moon Tower," Long Anqi gritted her teeth and said, "My darling, tell me carefully what you did wherever you were."
"I had delicious food and drinks there, and many sisters played games with me. I want to go play again next time," the Thirteenth Young Master said.
Long Anqi's pretty face sank, and she said in a low voice, "No! You are forbidden to go to such a place from now on. If you want to be a prodigal son or squander money, you can't go to such a place."
"Why? It's fun there, much more fun than here." The Thirteenth Young Master asked doubtfully. And his words, it's believed, were agreed upon by two people present. It was indeed much more fun than home.
Cough, cough, of course, that was just their thought when they were young.
"There's no 'why.' These are your mother's words, and you must listen." Long Anqi couldn't explain it and could only issue a strict order.
"Oh, then I won't go. I'll go somewhere else to squander next time," the Thirteenth Young Master said, tilting his head.
Next time, we won't let you have a next time. We definitely won't let you go out alone again.
Next, everyone had another question: what was going on with this little girl from the Tiger Tribe? As for why the Wind Flower Snow Moon Tower hosted the Thirteenth Young Master for three days without any questions, they all knew the reason.
For the Wind Flower Snow Moon Tower, as long as there was money, whether you were old or young, an emperor or a slave, they would treat you as a distinguished guest and serve you equally.
This little girl from the Tiger Tribe, as the Thirteenth Young Master said, was a female slave he had bought.
At that time, the Wind Flower Snow Moon Tower happened to have a female slave auction, and this little girl was one of the female slaves. Of course, this was for people with special preferences, and what kind of special preferences, we won't go into detail here.
In short, the Thirteenth Young Master bought this little girl from the Tiger Tribe purely to squander his money and be a prodigal son for a while. It was purely to be a prodigal son, not out of any overflowing kindness or sympathy.
Among so many female slaves, he chose this little girl from the Tiger Tribe, of course, because they were of similar age. Children, naturally, would choose children.
One last thing to mention: the Thirteenth Young Master's expenses at the Wind Flower Snow Moon Tower, plus the purchase of the little girl from the Tiger Tribe, had almost completely spent his pocket money, totaling sixty-eight thousand one hundred gold coins.
This pocket money was something that others couldn't earn in a lifetime, yet he spent it all in three days. He truly had the potential of a prodigal son.
This was also why the Wind Flower Snow Moon Tower had not leaked any news and allowed the Thirteenth Young Master to squander his money inside. Such a big customer was also rare for them.
Among them, the money spent on buying the little girl from the Tiger Tribe was fifty thousand gold coins, which was the vast majority. It is said, only said, that at that time, a big shot with special preferences was bidding against the Thirteenth Young Master, which is why the price was driven up to fifty thousand gold coins. This was the highest transaction price at the time, and the second highest was only twenty thousand gold coins, for a very beautiful half-elf.
It is said, still said, that the big shot was very angry at that time and wanted to see who was opposing him. As a result, he was dumbfounded. Anyone would have the same expression as him because it was too unexpected.
This was not buying a companion, but buying a playmate.
"Forget it, I won't fight with a child. It wouldn't be good if it got out," the big shot comforted himself. To be honest, if he had continued to compete, his name would have been spread everywhere, and he would have been infamous.
However, he didn't know that this Thirteenth Young Master had a special identity, and his disappearance these days had caused a stir throughout the city. Therefore, this matter eventually became known to everyone.
Many people told him, "I never thought you would be this kind of person..."
Another thing is that even if this big shot had bid more, the Thirteenth Young Master would still have bid higher, because his goal was to be a prodigal son. He wouldn't care if he had enough money on him, let alone that he didn't know how much money he had on him at all.
This disappearance incident was thus declared over, leaving only some aftermath.
