Everyone was terrified and immediately knelt down, bowing their heads in apology.
"I'm truly sorry, I didn't know it was you, sir!"
"I was wrong, please forgive me, sir, with your great kindness."
"I won't dare to do it again in the future!"
...
"The innocent will be temporarily released this time! However, don't speak ill of me behind my back in the future! Isn't that right..." Lion narrowed his eyes.
"What do you mean by 'isn't that right'?" Everyone was trembling with fear.
"I also mean that!"
Everyone: "..."
"Okay, I'm leaving!" Lion swatted his butt and left.
Everyone looked at each other with two-faced expressions. Were they just going to let it go like that after being secretly resented by the nobleman Lion?
Was it really that easy to forgive them?
Lion continued to stroll around, casually disregarding the recent incident as insignificant.
Having experienced a great public backlash in his previous life, he was now indifferent to such things. He simply regarded their insults as meaningless and held no grudges even if they didn't harm a single hair on his head.
Unconsciously, he arrived at a luxurious building that was bustling with activity.
He saw many beautiful young girls, dressed in elegant attire, standing in front of the building enthusiastically greeting customers with 10 out of 10 hospitality.
There were also many well-dressed young men, laughing and holding the waists of the young girls, entering the building.
Upon closer inspection, the large building had "Bach Hoa Phuong" (Flower Market District) written on it!
This was the number one entertainment district in the capital, where everyone came to satisfy their desires.
Lion was not calm: "Nonsense! Isn't this Bach Hoa Phuong? As an upright and righteous person, how could I end up in a place like this?"
He glanced to the east and west, took advantage of the moment when no one noticed him, and sneakily ran away!
However, even though he travelled through time and space, Murphy's law still applied as usual.
The less you think about something, the more likely it is to happen.
At this moment, a madam saw Lion and her eyes lit up. She joyfully stepped forward to greet him: "Isn't this the new high-ranking official Lion? As a high-ranking official, you must come and sit for a while! All the girls here admire you so much!"
She took Lion's hand and didn't want to let him go.
Lion protested: "Madam, you've got the wrong person. I'm not a high-ranking official, I'm just a nightwalker, a street food vendor over there!"
"How could I mistake you? I've seen the high-ranking official from a distance before. You look just like him, a charming and charismatic figure. Even though his family's business went bankrupt and he became penniless, I can still recognize him!"
Lion was pleased to hear these words, but as a person with principles, he would not be easily swayed!
He raised his hands and said: "But I have no money, I can't afford to spend it!"
The madame pulled Lion to come to Bach Hoa Phuong, and spoke even more enthusiastically: "Honorable Sir, you can come to our Bach Hoa Phuong, it is our honour, so will you still dare to collect your money? Honourable Sir, don't refuse, come inside quickly!"
At this time, six beautiful young ladies from Bach Hoa Phuong came over.
Standing in two rows, with smiling faces welcoming him: "Honorable Sir, please come in!"
Lion hesitated for a moment and said: "I didn't plan to come in, but you have invited me seven times. If I refuse again, I will be rude. Lead the way!"
"Okay!" The madame and the young ladies were delighted and happily led Lion in.
While walking, they shouted loudly: "Honorable Sir has arrived!"
Under the welcoming of the young ladies, Lion entered Bach Hoa Phuong.
He found that it was still daytime, but the place was crowded, with teasing sounds and noisy laughter filling the air.
Lion couldn't help but sigh: "The reason why the teahouse is always full is because of people's loneliness and boredom!"
Everyone shouted in agreement.
"You're right! It's hard to bear the loneliness and boredom. Who would willingly come here?"
"That's right! If we go home, we will have to face tigers and leopards. That's why I'm willing to come here and spend money to get rid of my loneliness!"
"This place has a beautiful lady with a good speaking voice. I enjoy being here!"
"Of course, you're still the important official who understands my heart, haha!"
...
With just one sentence, Lion and his group of guests were led by the lady to a private room.
At this moment, the lady signalled for the four treasures of the study to be brought over and said with a smile, "Important official, please compose a poem!"
This is equivalent to Lion "picking up girls".
Lion was overjoyed and picked up his brush, writing with a flourish.
Everyone couldn't help but gather around, following Lion's brushstrokes and reciting the poem.
"Silent tower with no words spoken, moon like a hook, serene and deep, spreading its clear essence! Farewell without an end, a world in chaos, witnessing the separation! Parting with the most beloved, starting from the heart!"
Then, they all clapped frantically, "Great poem! Great poem!"
One of the readers praised, "Counting strokes of the brush sporadically, describing the heart of the girl in the blue building! Silent and serene, spreading its clear essence... The use of words is so precise, I cannot compare!"
"There's still another sentence that can praise the divine might of the brush! Farewell without an end, a world in chaos, witnessing the separation! Parting with the most beloved, starting from the heart..." Another reader nodded in agreement, "Amazing, truly amazing!"
"Indeed, the important official is more talented than others! Admirable, admirable!"
...
Lion clasped his hands and smiled, "Too much praise! You are all too kind!"
Countless girls in the blue building were moved and looked over with deep feelings, their beautiful eyes like water.
At this moment, Lion was also the biggest celebrity in the Silent Tower!
