I'm just lazing around cultivating in the world of Jade Dynasty.

Zeng Shushu looked at the stage on the first floor, where courtesans were choosing their lovers. It was the first time he had ever seen such a scene, and his curiosity only grew stronger.

"Brother Bai, who do you think the person the woman in red silk below is referring to is?"

"I feel it's me!"

Li Qingan stretched and said something incoherently.

“She’s never even seen you before, how could it be you!” Zeng Shushu scoffed, thinking Li Qingan was making things up.

"What if she sees me once and thinks she's the one for me?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!

"You came with me, how could I not know whether she's seen you before!"

Just as the two were arguing, the old woman walked in.

With the allure of a mature woman in her eyes, she looked at Li Qing'an and said, "Young master, our Miss Hongxiao from the brothel just met you and would like to meet with you to chat during this long night!"

"See? I told you so!"

Li Qingan chuckled and shrugged at Zeng Shushu, somewhat surprised yet seemingly expecting it.

With his abundant yang energy, if he were truly a disciple of the Hehuan Sect, they would definitely want to drain his essence.

Moreover, after exchanging a glance with that woman in red silk, her furtive manner made it clear at a glance that she was lusting after his body.

Before he could speak, Zeng Shushu's eyes widened. How could he not know that Li Qing'an could tell fortunes?

But now is not the time to think about this issue.

Zeng Shushu looked at Li Qingan's somewhat tempted face, her expression flustered. She shook her head slightly, trying to get Li Qingan to refuse!

Who would have thought that simply bringing his best friend to broaden his horizons would result in him being chosen by the most beautiful courtesan, and that his friend also had two younger siblings, each ruthless and cunning...

He could imagine that if the news got out tonight, he would be crippled even if he didn't die.

Even if the people inside the sect knew, he would be the one who would be scolded. Everyone knows that Li Qing'an is not lacking in romantic luck. Does Li Qing'an think he would go to a brothel by himself?

If it wasn't him who instigated it, then who else could it be!

Delaying the cultivation of the sect's most talented disciples is a heinous crime deserving of death.

Thinking of this, Zeng Shushu felt a cold sweat pour down his back. He walked up to the old woman and said, "That won't be necessary. My friend and I have things to do in the city!"

And he uttered the classic line, "Next time for sure, next time for sure!"

After saying that, Zeng Shushu pushed Li Qingan out of the building, her face showing a look of fear.

The old woman, who was also an elder of the Hehuan Sect, saw this scene and a hint of doubt and deep thought flashed in her eyes.

Seeing this, even if he was stupid, she could understand that the two of them were led by Li Qing'an!

The elder of the Hehuan Sect looked uncertain as he watched the two figures leave. He hesitated for a few moments but did not step forward to stop them.

The two walked on Baihu Street outside. Zeng Shushu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead beside him, feeling as if he had just escaped from the gates of hell.

"What are you panicking about?" Li Qingan said irritably.

If Zeng Shushu hadn't pushed him away, he really would have liked to go and see the woman who seemed to be from the Hehuan sect, to see if she was after his yang energy!

Li Qingan said: "The name 'Guest of the Inner Chamber' sounds interesting!"

"How dare you say that! If I hadn't stopped you, and you had really gone with me, there would have been no place for me inside that gate. Even my father couldn't save me, so don't you dare get me into trouble!" Zeng Shushu became even more panicked as he spoke.

He then remembered that Li Qing'an not only held a very high position in the hearts of the female disciples, but was also on equal footing with the various chief disciples.

That is to say, he had been hanging out with Li Qingan for so many years that he subconsciously forgot and thought that Li Qingan was his friend from before he became famous.

"Don't panic. Do you think I came out with you without an excuse?" Li Qing'an led Zeng Shushu toward Yixinzhai.

On this trip, he also wanted to visit Yixinzhai to check on the situation. He asked the three men surnamed Han who were helping him to attend the opening ceremony of the Eighth Meridian. Although he wouldn't be accepted as disciples, it would be good to have them as an external force of the Eighth Meridian.

More importantly, he needs to make people recognize his face. Collecting books is crucial to his future career, so he can't rush it or be too slow.

We also need to get some junior brothers to help out secretly, otherwise it would take who knows how long to collect those three blockheads.

He only wanted to be a hands-off showroom. In the future, when Yixinzhai developed, besides strolling around Qingyunmen, he could come here to read books for leisure. If he felt bored, he could go out and experience the world.

After Xiao Fan left, he became much less interested in food, so he could still occasionally go to Shanhe Garden for a treat or visit brothels to gather information...

Staying in seclusion on the mountain for too long can be quite boring.

Simply put, he's getting restless!

........

The moonlight, like water, spilled across the courtyard of Yixinzhai, and candles were already lit inside the study, indicating that it was not yet closed!

During this month, Biyao came to Yixinzhai in Heyang City again, and secretly brought some books from the Demonic Sect. However, they did not contain any of the Demonic Sect's methods; they were mostly miscellaneous notes for discussion on cultivation.

Even so, she left the Ghost King Sect in a very furtive manner, fearing that the Ghost King would discover her.

Even Youji, who was accompanying them, couldn't stand it anymore. Of course, for some reason, she also brought two rare books that she treasured in the Holy Sect!

As for the three Han brothers, ever since Li Qing'an angrily scolded them, Han Ben, in order to avoid losing his powerful backer, kept his study open from morning till night in order to collect some unique books. Unfortunately, even so, few people brought out any precious books.

Books are a valuable resource no matter where they are. Even though Yixinzhai was responsible for the printing costs, they didn't receive many useful books. The books they collected before were those they found in academies within a thousand miles, which took a lot of effort.

Recently, due to the spread of news that Qingyun Sect is going to hold a grand opening ceremony, many cultivators have come here.

This was a great opportunity for Han Ben. He still had several books about cultivation that Li Qing'an had given him, and he might be able to exchange them for books and classics from the cultivators.

So that his boss would look at him with new respect.

The three brothers, except for Han Cong, also took turns guarding the shop.

At this moment, there was also a woman in the shop wearing a pale yellow dress, with a face as white as jade.

Jin Ping'er was the one who came to Qingyun Sect to see what was going on.

Chapter 135: The First Encounter with Jin Ping'er.

Yixinzhai in Heyang City!

A slender woman with fair skin, dressed in a pale yellow dress, was scanning the empty bookshelf with a curious expression.

It was Jin Ping'er from the Hehuan Sect.

While she was strolling around outside, she noticed that although this place was a study with many bookshelves, there were very few books, which was quite unusual. So she went up to take a look out of curiosity.

"Miss, our shop doesn't sell books, we only buy books and offer book-for-book exchanges! If you have any rare or unusual books, feel free to bring them to us, we'll take them all!"

Looking at the woman before him, Han Ling felt that she was even more beautiful than the women of Liuguang Tower.

Although he wasn't very bright, he knew that beautiful women like this were mostly cultivators, so he kept a low profile and didn't use Li Qing'an's reputation to show off!

"Oh, you don't sell books, you only buy them? If I'm not mistaken, you're probably a cultivator too. Do you think worldly silver is of any use to cultivators like us?"

Jin Ping'er picked up a common book and flipped through it, but found nothing of interest. She then asked a question.

"Gold and silver are of little use to our cultivation!"

Han Ling's mind started to wander again, but he quickly added, "Our boss has written several books related to cultivation, which we can exchange with you! We can also use the books we exchanged before to make an exchange!"

"Your boss?"

Jin Ping'er could tell at a glance that this person was not very strong and was probably a rogue cultivator!

Only independent cultivators need to collect books extensively, hoping to obtain rare teachings from them in order to improve their cultivation.

However, most independent cultivators are not skilled enough, so their books on cultivation are not worth reading and might even mislead people!

They're not strong enough, yet they dare to spout nonsense.

Han Ling was naturally caught off guard and couldn't figure out what the female cultivator in front of her was thinking, so she could only nod and remain silent.

Seeing that the man was foolish, Jin Ping'er didn't want to argue with him. She put down the book in her hand and began to inquire about information without any attempt to hide it!

"You're also a cultivator and have been here for so long. Is it true that Li Qing'an is extremely vengeful?"

Rumors about Li Qing'an include his immense strength and his unforgiving nature, which is why the news of Li Qing'an's vengefulness spread like wildfire.

Before Han Ling could speak...

"Young lady, the rumors are obviously false. It is said that Li Qing'an is handsome, exceptionally good-looking, strong, and respectful to elders and kind to children. He doesn't seem like the kind of person who holds grudges at all!"

A voice came from the door.

Li Qing, disguised as Bai Li, walked in with Zeng Shushu.

Bai Li spoke in a very serious tone, as if Li Qing'an were a saint.

Following behind him, Zeng Shushu's lips twitched, wanting to curl upwards, but he suppressed it as he thought of painful things, making his expression look extremely strange.

A smile that wasn't quite a smile, a cry that wasn't quite a cry.

"And who is this young master?" Jin Ping'er asked, looking at Li Qing'an who was speaking to her.

As Li Qing'an approached, Jin Ping'er's delicate nose twitched slightly as she caught a whiff of rouge and powder.

'Two more womanizers!'

Jin Ping'er felt disdain in her heart, but she didn't show it at all. Even though she was a disciple of the Hehuan Sect, she had always looked down on this kind of person.

Especially for cultivators who have embarked on the path of cultivation, there are all sorts of possibilities, yet they are immersed in this place of pleasure.

However, the other senior sisters of the Hehuan Sect were more than eager to have it.

Li Qingan looked at the beautiful girl in front of him, who was only sixteen or seventeen years old. Even though her skin was as delicate as mutton fat jade, and she had a pair of long and captivating eyes, her features were also extremely exquisite. She was slightly immature, but she exuded a faint charm.

But so what? It's not like he hasn't seen more beautiful women before.

He was more concerned with how to explain to the person in front of him that Li Qing'an did not hold grudges; everything else was secondary!

Do not!

It's a fact that Li Qing'an doesn't hold grudges.

"As the owner of this study, I am quite familiar with the surrounding area!" Li Qing'an smiled and stepped forward to introduce himself.

"The young lady must be referring to Li Qing'an of the Qingyun Sect! He is a disciple of the Dazhu Peak, and I heard that a grand opening ceremony for his meridians will be held soon!"

Jin Ping'er looked at the attentive man in front of her with suspicion. The scent of rouge and powder from before had already made her dislike for him drop. It was only because he was just introducing himself to her and there was no lewd look in his eyes, and his behavior was in accordance with propriety, that she would have already tried out the seductive arts she had learned.

Seeing that Jin Ping'er remained silent for a long time, Li Qing'an thought she didn't believe that he didn't hold grudges. "Miss, according to my information, all the news that Li Qing'an holds grudges was spread by the Demonic Sect."
