Within the territory of Great Xia, Shangjing City.
The sky was cloudless for miles with only a solitary sun hanging at the edge.
Even in the evening, the streets of Shangjing City were still bustling with noise.
This capital of Great Xia always appeared as a scene brimming with worldly hustle and bustle.
However...
Suddenly, a discordant and loud noise shattered this lively atmosphere.
The sound originated from a royal venue in the eastern part of Shangjing City.
This noise so alarmed the street vendors, shopkeepers, and pedestrians that they all stopped in their tracks.
Even a flock of birds in the sky, upon hearing this noise, scattered in disarray.
"Excuse me, may I ask you something? Has this venue been turned into a brothel?"
A passerby, dressed like a wealthy merchant and startled by the noise from the venue, asked a woman selling buns on the street.
"Hey, what are you talking about? This is a legitimate royal venue."
