"Wait....wait....you've just scare my customers away. Yeah.... compensate me for that too."
A seductive girl in her gorgeous dark purple robe gripped his left arm tightly, fortunately stopping Zhang Long wei in time from rushing over to bounce off the window. Zhang Long wei was in a hurry to chase those mischievous disciples who had just counterattacked and run away.
But this bewitching girl whom he guessed to be a prostitute of this brothel was unyielding and kept persistent, not letting him go whatsoever. Those bastards might have paid the girl to hinder him from pursuing them.
Impatient, Zhang Long wei turned around and slammed the girl towards the wall. Now this little prostitute was trapped between him and the wall. Yet again, to Zhang Long wei's surprise, the girl still didn't let her clutch on his arm go loose.
Looking around, Wang Li Jie felt a bit anxious at this messed up situation he got himself into. Regardless of his true gender, the youth felt uncomfortable being in such an ambiguous position with this male.
They were now in a private room of a brothel. If it were not for that drunkard Li Qing, he would not have to sacrifice himself like this from the first place.
"Tell me what should I do for you to let me go."
Putting in great effort, Zhang Long Wei finally managed to take one of the beauty's hands off which was grasping his robe tightly.
He could only see that captivating green hue of the beauty's eyes as bright as that of shining stars. The girl was currently wearing a dark purple veil that was protecting her alluring face from getting exposed.
Even though he himself was in a hurry right now, Zhang Long Wei had to admit he was wondering what sort of ethereal face was covered behind that mask. The more he stared into those beautiful eyes of the girl, the greater his desire to remove this veil off the beauty and take a thorough look at this beauty.
But Zhang Long Wei restrained himself from doing such an offending move. Bringing his sense back to his brain, he fished out a bulging pouch of gold coins and put it into the girl's hand.
"Is this enough? Now let go of me. "
The perplexed Wang Li Jie looked at the male who was eyeing and commanding him with that deep and imperative tone. That was strange. This boy..... didn't he even waver facing such a gorgeous prostitute right before him? He was willing to give away all his cash just like this.... not even having the slightest desire to get a taste of this beauty?
Biting his bottom lip, Wang Li Jie looked at the boy, his curiosity ignited. To buy some times for his bros, he could just go a little further with this male, right?
Right at that moment, Zhang Long Wei felt the girl's tug on his robe loose. Having just got what he wanted, he should be feeling satisfied and get out of this brothel as soon as possible. But now what's this feeling of loss mingled with some disappointment?
"That's more like it. "
Despite his words, Zhang Long Wei snorted dissatisfied. He was just about to take his leave when a pair of slim and fair hands draped over his shoulders out of the blue followed by that nasal voice which had successfully made his heart itchy somewhat.
"Don't go yet, gege...Please....let this lowly prostitute serve you first...okay? "
Now, now before we proceed the story of this lovey dovey couple, let go back to last night and find out as to how these two ended up like this.
It was the night before lantern festival. At this very night, Jianyu's chefs served a thousand luscious dishes in the main hall for all disciples to enjoy. No rules, no restrictions... as long as there was no ruckus, disciples were allowed to enjoy the meal and chat with each other... full of freedom.
No masters were there to restrain them, so some disciples took advantage of this situation and would not sit still at their original seat, roaming from this seat to that seat whenever they wished. The main hall was grand and gigantic enough to hold all the disciples of Jianyu sect. And at such night, roaring noises of disciples' chatters and laughters could be heard even from the gate of the sect.
"Ah.....these noises are so unbearable that I thought my ears have gone deaf. "
Wang Li Jie who had just walked out of the hall complained to Li Qing, creasing his brows. At the moment, the two buddies were strolling leisurely around the boundaries of bamboo forest. This place was not too far from the hall but somehow when they reach near this forest, all noises had died down miraculously.
This was one of the magical atmosphere you could savor only at this graceful bamboo forest of Jianyu sect. All distracting sounds that were not important would quiet down once one set his foot near this forest. But when noises were somehow emergent like someone shouting for help or like a terrible commotion happening around its vicinity, then one could hear it loud and clear as always.
Two buddies who were sauntering soundless all this while paused at a noise.
"Did you hear that? "
"It's from the sect's gate. "
Wang Li Jie and Li Qing exchanged glances before hurrying towards the gate's direction.
In the dead of night, it was all dark and murky. Even so, they made it to the gate smoothly, thanks to the aid of vague silvery moonlight.
They almost arrived at their destination when a boy in Jianyu sect uniform was catapulted in their way. Wang Li Jie caught the boy in time protecting him from crashing down onto the ground. Wang Li Jie was taken aback while at it because he could tell who had attacked this senior just by judging at his injuries. It was someone with a thunder spiritual root..... just like himself!
And when he took a glance at a not-so-far distance, the culprit was there holding a sword radiating with currents of electricity.
"Who are you? "
Li Qing lept up unsheathing his sword, wind storm, ready to start a fight.
"Wait! "
"Hold up! "
Two voices shouted at the same time which stopped Li Qing immediately. The first voice was clearly that of Wang Li Jie. But the second voice..... it seemed like this intruder here got a backup. But how come that voice rang a bell to him? No, that voice... isn't it the voice of his friend, Ming Rong?
Li Qing halted and took back his sword just in time otherwise it might have already pierced through this unknown boy's left chest. The boy's expression all calm and collected as though he was not someone who almost got stabbed by this sharp and fierce wind storm.
"Li Qing, stop. It's us. We came here to visit you. "
Li Qing turned around in surprise only to gape open his mouth at the sight of his childhood friend. His robe all torn here and there, his hair burned and messy as though he had just been roasted alive, it would be even strange if someone didn't mistake him for a beggar. How come he.....
"Pffft.... Ming Rong, do you even know how you look like right now? I bet even a beggar would look better than you... "
Ming Rong who had just been praised cruelly by his childhood friend, scratched his head and replied in embarrassment.
"Hahaha... really? "
Wang Li Jie ".... "
Another prince who had come along with Ming Rong ".... "
