Sensing the change in the power within his body.
Su Chen's face lit up with joy.
Early Innate Stage. This level of strength wasn't bad. It gave this body of his some ability to protect itself.
He reined in his aura.
For now, he couldn't let those old bastards notice anything.
"Since you want to play, I'll play along. Let's see who killed Su Mengbai!"
Su Chen said coldly.
Then he left the secret chamber and returned to his room.
He began to ponder.
He had strength now, but not a single clue. So for the time being, all he could do was wait for his opponent to make a move.
First, he would carefully dig through all of this body's memories and sort them out.
What I need to do now is relax and see what moves you make.
I hear Qingcheng has some fine brothels. Maybe I'll go listen to some music.
In his previous life, this sort of thing had been illegal, but in this world it was perfectly legal.
Of course, Su Chen also wanted to see what the beauties of this world were like.
Although Su Mengbai had just died, Su Chen had never even met him, so there was no need to mourn.
After tidying himself up,
Su Chen left the mansion and headed for Qingcheng's famous brothel.
He would listen to a little music first, then do something else.
That would also put everyone else at ease,
making them think he was just a good-for-nothing playboy.
Of course, even if they didn't think that, they would probably be watching him anyway, giving him some time.
At the thought, Su Chen's blood began to stir.
A young man's blood ran hot, after all.
Before long,
Su Chen arrived at Qingcheng's most famous brothel, Yuchun Courtyard.
Even from outside the entrance, he could smell a sweet fragrance that stirred something within him.
Along with the scent came waves of seductive music.
Su Chen stepped inside.
At the entrance, he wasn't greeted by the old man he'd imagined.
Instead, a young woman of seventeen or eighteen came up to him and asked, "Are you here alone, young master, or...?"
Su Chen hadn't been back to Qingcheng in a long time, and he hadn't visited Yuchun Courtyard in ages either, so the girl at the door didn't recognize him.
"Get me a first-class private room. And tell Aunt Gui that I want to book your newly crowned star, Qin Lan, for the whole night!"
Su Chen said.
"Who's got such a big mouth, planning to book Miss Qin Lan for the night?"
Someone heard Su Chen and looked over.
The speaker was a young man about Su Chen's age, dressed in fine brocade robes.
Rong Yun of Qingcheng's Rong Mansion.
When Rong Yun saw Su Chen, his eyes widened in surprise.
"I can't believe it's you, Su Chen. Your father just died, and you've only just inherited Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower, yet here you are!"
"Have you realized you won't be alive much longer?"
News that Su Chen had taken charge of Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower had already spread throughout Qingcheng.
The young man was about Su Chen's age, and they already knew each other.
"Rong Yun, what business is it of yours where I go? If you come here to have fun, what matters is how much you can spend. Is that little bit of money your father gave you enough?"
Su Chen snorted.
"Take me to a private room!"
He didn't bother with Rong Yun any further.
His aptitude was far worse than Su Chen's, and his strength was weaker, too. What was there to worry about?
Seeing this, the girl didn't dare delay. She led Su Chen to a private room.
As he watched Su Chen enter, a vicious glint flashed in Rong Yun's eyes.
"He's just a scapegoat. Does he really think he's the master of Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower? Wait a while, and I'll come see your corpse."
The situation with Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower had long since spread throughout Qingcheng.
Everyone knew why Su Chen had become its master.
The heads of the various families had all warned their sons not to get too close to Su Chen for the time being.
Su Chen was led to a private room upstairs.
Fine wine and food were served at once.
An alluring madam, dressed in colorful robes, also came to Su Chen's room.
"Tower Master Su, what an honor to have you visit Yuchun Courtyard. I was a little neglectful of you earlier!"
Madam was around thirty, still charming and alluring, and she spoke with great courtesy.
She was in the business of making money, and with Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower behind Su Chen, he was her god of wealth. She had to treat him well.
"Aunt Gui, you're too polite. I hear Miss Qin Lan is your newly crowned star. I want her to serve me tonight!"
"Name your price, Aunt Gui."
Su Chen put on a show of being extravagantly wealthy.
But in truth, he did have plenty of money now.
Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower was, after all, a major power in Qingcheng.
"Since Tower Master Su put it that way, I'll name my price. Miss Qin Lan is a newly crowned star, still untouched—two thousand taels!"
Aunt Gui said.
"Here are two thousand taels in Silver Notes. Make the arrangements!"
Su Chen took out two notes worth a thousand taels each.
He'd only just arrived, so he wasn't familiar with the local prices and didn't give it much thought.
Besides, he'd brought more than ten thousand taels in Silver Notes with him.
"Tower Master Su is generous! I'll go fetch Miss Qin right away!"
In one part of Yuchun Courtyard,
a woman in a red, phoenix-embroidered dress sat upright, her eyes bright, her lips scarlet, and her skin as smooth as polished jade. Her breasts and hips were full, and her beauty was striking.
She looked about twenty-one or twenty-two. Her body carried not only the fresh fragrance of a young woman, but also the enticing allure of ripeness just within reach.
She was Qin Lan, Yuchun Courtyard's current star.
"Miss, they're saying someone wants to book you for the night!"
A little maid in green spoke beside her.
"Book me? Does that mean I'm going to be initiated tonight?"
A trace of worry crossed Qin Lan's face as she spoke.
But she wasn't especially agitated.
It was the fate of girls like them.
"Aunt Gui is entertaining him personally, so it seems so. I hear he's the new master of Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower!"
"Miss, if you play your cards right, you might be able to leave this place."
The little maid said.
"The new master of Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower... Is that the news that just came out today?"
Qin Lan's eyes lit up at the maid's words.
"That's what I heard!"
The maid replied.
Just then, a servant came in from outside.
"Miss Lan, please get ready and come to the Yulan private room!"
The servant said.
After Aunt Gui left, Su Chen had eaten a little and listened to a few songs.
Creak.
Just then, the door opened.
A stunningly beautiful woman walked in.
"This humble woman is Qin Lan. I'll be serving Tower Master Su tonight!"
Qin Lan bowed as she entered.
After drinking a little, with his blood stirring, Su Chen didn't overthink it. He shut the door, took Qin Lan in his arms, and carried her to the bed.
Qin Lan didn't resist at all.
They had been trained for this from a very young age.
At once, the room filled with a haze of passion.
