Cao Youqian's Method

"I hope Qin'er is alright?"

Bing Yan watched Qin Qin's departing figure and said with some worry.

"Don't worry, Qin'er isn't that fragile, she's just a little anxious."

Chu Feng knew each and every one of his disciples very well.

Bing Yan said, "Husband, shouldn't we keep an eye on the movements of the geniuses from the Great Sage?"

Chu Feng smiled and said, "Of course not. Before I came, I instructed Daqian to investigate which geniuses Great Sage would send to fight this time. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle."

"So my husband's laxity was all an act; he completely fooled me."

Bing Yan rolled her eyes at Chu Feng, annoyed. This guy even lied to his own wife.

Chu Feng, with his arm around Bing Yan, said with a smile, "I don't need to tell you about such a small matter."

"Snort."

Bing Yan feigned anger and gave a soft snort.

Meanwhile, Cao Youqian and Shi Xuan left the post station and strolled around Nine Cauldrons City.

"Second Brother, where are we going?"

Shi Xuan asked casually.

Cao Youqian said with a smile, "I've got nothing to do today, so I'm listening to music at the brothel."

Shi Xuan: "This isn't a good idea. If Senior Sister Song finds out, the consequences might be..."

Cao Youqian patted him on the shoulder and said, "Zhaoyi won't care about these details. Besides, we're just going to listen to music, not to go looking for prostitutes."

Shi Xuan looked at his second senior brother with surprise. In his memory, before his second senior brother became a disciple of their master, he was a spoiled brat. How could he have simply gone to listen to music?

Cao Youqian could easily see through Shi Xuan's thoughts, and said with a smile, "We're here on business, to find out if there are any interesting opponents in this Ten Saints Grand Competition."

"Oh."

Shi Xuan asked instinctively, "I didn't expect Senior Brother to be so cautious."

Cao Youqian laughed and said, "It's not that I'm being cautious, but rather I'm seeing if there's anyone who can fight me, so that this competition won't be boring."

Shi Xuan said, "Alright, then I'll accompany my senior brother to experience the local customs and culture of Nine Cauldrons City."

Cao Youqian patted Shi Xuan on the shoulder. "You're a natural-born kid, you know how to talk."

Before long, the two brothers arrived at the largest brothel in Nine Cauldrons City — Inquiring Fragrance Courtyard.

Although it is daytime, the Inquiring Fragrance Courtyard is still bustling with activity.

As soon as the two arrived at the door, a still-elegant scholar, waving a fan, came to greet them.

"Two exceptional talents, is this your first time visiting Inquiring Fragrance Courtyard?"

Cao Youqian smiled and said, "Your Excellency has a good eye. I wonder what kind of beauties you have in your Inquiring Fragrance Courtyard?"

The academy director said, "Anything that you two prodigies desire, we Inquiring Fragrance Courtyard for."

"Oh?"

Cao Youqian joked, "Could it be that you even have Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon here?"

This question didn't stump Shuxiao. She smiled and said, "There aren't any Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, but we do have a beauty here with demon blood. As long as you two prodigies have enough spirit stones, she can serve you."

"Good."

Cao Youqian said excitedly, "Then let's have two witches accompany us, my fellow disciples, and find us a unique private room."

"Alright, I guarantee you two geniuses will be satisfied."

The scribe led Cao Youqian and his companion into the Inquiring Fragrance Courtyard.

Upon entering, the two were slightly taken aback by the luxurious scene.

What came into view was a huge open-air courtyard. In the middle of the courtyard, there were not only countless beauties, but also a wine pool and a meat forest, and many cultivators were already intoxicated by it.

The villa is surrounded by four pavilions with distinct styles.

Guided by the school, Cao Youqian and Shi Xuan arrived at a pavilion called Yaojing Pavilion.

Upon entering the attic, Cao Youqian saw all sorts of demons: some with human bodies and animal heads, some with animal bodies and human heads, and others that retained some demonic characteristics.

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

Cao Youqian gave the school a thumbs up.

The scribe asked, "May I ask which seat the young master would like to sit in?"

"This young master likes a lively atmosphere, find me a seat by the window."

Cao Youqian had not forgotten the purpose of his visit.

Upon hearing this, the academy director gestured for them to proceed. "Please, esteemed scholars, to the third floor."

Before long, the two arrived at a window seat on the third floor, where they could not only have a panoramic view of the entire Inquiring Fragrance Courtyard, but also hear the voices of the cultivators below.

After the two sat down, a group of cat demons soon entered carrying wine and food. At the very back of the group were two beauties with purple eyes and red hair.

As soon as the two beauties entered the room, they bowed to their fellow disciples. "We greet you two outstanding talents."

When they spoke, Cao Youqian could still see the fangs hidden in their cherry-like mouths.

"No need for formalities, come here."

Cao Youqian waved to the two women.

"Yes."

The two witches quickly walked to Cao Youqian and Shi Xuan's side, sat directly on their laps, and began to serve them with practiced ease.

Cao Youqian, true to his reputation as a spoiled brat, quickly became very close with the witch beside him. In contrast, Shi Xuan appeared unusually reserved, remaining unmoved no matter how much the witch harassed him.

"Junior Brother Shi, when you're out having fun, you should let loose!"

Cao Youqian joked.

Shi Xuan felt a pang of regret. He had spent his entire life either cultivating or on his way to cultivation, and had never experienced the temptation of beauty.

He gave an awkward but polite smile and said, "Senior brother, I hope you have fun."

Several hours later.

As night fell, Shi Xuan feigned drunkenness and slumped onto the table. Cao Youqian, without any hesitation, embraced both of them and said, "My two beauties, how about we play a few games together?"

"Very well, Young Master Qian."

The two women said in unison.

Cao Youqian took out a storage bag from his waist and placed it on the table. After he casually opened it, the two women subconsciously looked inside, and their eyes widened when they saw that it was full of high-grade spirit stones.

"I, Qian, have always enjoyed playing truth or dare. If you answer me with a truthful answer, I will reward you with a high-grade spirit stone."

Upon hearing this, the two women immediately replied, "Young Master Qian, please ask away."

"Good."

Cao Youqian did not reveal his true identity, but instead adopted the alias "Young Master Qian".

"This young master enjoys making friends. I don't know if you are familiar with the names of the Great Sage. As for those who are known throughout the world, such as Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian, there's no need to mention them."

"I know, the one who came from the Great Thunderclap Temple this time is called Moke," a witch said.

"Very good."

Cao Youqian casually tossed a high-grade spirit stone to the beauty.

Seeing this, another witch quickly said, "I also know that the one from the Divine Sword Holy Land is named Wuming."

"Wuming?"

Cao Youqian looked at her with a puzzled expression...
