Chapter 138: Seeking Immortal Tower, Acquiring Spiritual Energy!_4
Unexpectedly, Tang Yingke left the poem behind before he departed.
Chen Sansi really didn't want to act as a copycat.
And if Miss Ning Xiang wasn't from Seeking Immortal Tower, wouldn't that be a huge loss?
"Gentlemen."
As he hesitated to spend the money, even considering leaving, a voice that sounded like a clear spring and somewhat familiar rang in his ears.
The young woman, dressed in a warm yellow skirt and bowing her head, served them wine and snacks, saying, "Please enjoy~ The gentlemen might also write poems, perhaps you could earn the favor of our Miss~"
Before leaving, she cast a resentful glance at Chen Sansi and quickly pulled a face to show her disdain; noticing that faint trace of Qingxuan Energy inside her, which flickered like a firefly's light, he knew she could only be the same black-clad woman who had broken into his house on that day.
"..."
Chen Sansi could clearly see the hint.
He supposed they were just waiting for him to write a poem, even if it were nonsensical, they would still call him up.
'Must they make it so complicated?'
After much thought,
Chen Sansi finally asked for ink, brush, paper, and inkstone, hurriedly recalling a couple of lines of poetry from his mind, wrote them down, and then gave them to the maid responsible for delivering the poems upstairs.
As expected.
The maid quickly returned, bowed deeply, and then gestured for him to follow: "Sir, Miss Ning Xiang wishes to see you. Please pay the silver first, then follow this servant upstairs."
Five thousand taels.
Chen Sansi didn't carry so much money on him. He said, "Mr. Yan, could you lend me some silver first?"
"You said you didn't know how to write poems!"
Yan Changqing was extremely curious, but he still took out a silver note, "Brother Chen, you must share with us a good story upon your return."
Followed by envious gazes, Chen Sansi ascended the stairs with the maid.
"Yan Changqing, how could you lend money to Sansi!"
"Why not lend? What, Brother Bu Qi, are you jealous because of this?"
"No, he promised he wouldn't stay the night."
"What concern is it of yours if he stays the night or not?"
"..."
...
Red Sleeve Tower has a total of six floors, and even in Liangzhou City, it stands out as a landmark.
The higher the floor, the more expensive it becomes; starting from the fourth floor, those are the domains of the Oirans.
The top level is empty, with only Ning Xiang residing there.
"Humph, you actually dared to come!"
The little girl dressed in the warm yellow skirt and disguised as a maid, hands on her hips, indignantly said, "Aren't you afraid my master will avenge me?"
Nonsense, had she wanted revenge, she would have taken it already.
Chen Sansi looked at the young girl, noting that most of her wounds were healed, except for a faint scar on her right wrist, and he was not sure why.
The medicine used by Martial Artists is very effective; theoretically, if it heals, it shouldn't leave a scar.
"What are you looking at? I've left it there on purpose!"
Zhaozhao proactively showed the scar on her wrist, glaring with her clear eyes, "Keeping it reminds me to not forget you. Once I'm strong enough to beat you, I'll come to take my revenge!"
"Zhaozhao, stop causing trouble."
A languid and subtly enchanting voice sounded.
Zhaozhao obediently closed her mouth and stepped aside..
Chen Sansi hadn't yet entered when, even through the door, he saw a strand of Qingxuan Energy with his Qi Observation Skill.
Compared to Sun Xiangzong, it was much weaker, but much stronger than this girl named Zhaozhao.
Having come all this way, he had no reservations, pushed open the door, and was ready to see the real face of the Oiran over whom many fought tooth and nail.
A shadowy boudoir fragrant with incense.

The curtains fluttered lightly, casting a graceful silhouette.
There sat a striking woman in a light purple dress, leaning softly on the bed. Her cheeks were as blooming as March peach blossoms, exuding an irresistible charm and allure. Under the veil of diffused incense smoke, she seemed even more captivating; if one were to open the doors and windows, she would surely cause tumult among the butterflies and bees.
She was indeed "A bewitching beauty who speaks like flowers, with a demure loveliness that emits the fragrance of blooming jade."
Chen Sansi swung his fist and punched out without hesitation.
A look of surprise flitted across the Purple-dressed woman's face before she gracefully leapt to avoid the attack.
"Boom——"
The bed, however, was not so fortunate and was promptly smashed to pieces.
"Sir..."
The Purple-dressed woman had a look of aggrievement, "Why do you do this?"
Zhaozhao accused, "Master, I told you he is malicious, not at all the good man and hero the outside world believes him to be. Last time, he almost took my life."
"Miss."
Chen Sansi, looking at the Oiran, said in a stern voice, "You sent someone to break into Chen's residence without an announcement, and now you try to unsettle my mind with tricks as soon as I arrive. What is your intention?"
He noticed that as soon as he entered, the Qingxuan Energy within the woman began to move, and though he didn't know what she intended to do, he certainly wouldn't just stand there foolishly.
Ning Xiang bit her lip, looking wronged as she said, "I meant no harm, I just wanted to have some fun with the General first, but who knew the General doesn't know how to be tender to a lady, truly befitting of his military background."
"Ning Xiang, right?"
Chen Sansi got straight to the point and asked, "You have something to discuss with me, let's hear it."
The Purple-dressed woman gestured for Zhaozhao to close the door, then elegantly approached the table to pour tea.
She began, "General, are you aware of our Seeking Immortal Tower?"
"I have a rough understanding."
Chen Sansi didn't touch the tea and stated, "Please get to the point, Miss."
"You're in such a rush, General."
Finding it dull, Ning Xiang spoke straightforwardly, "Our Seeking Immortal Tower has a legacy of a thousand years, with influence far and wide, yet we never meddle in mundane world's strife, seeking only to one day find the gateway to the Immortal Realm."
"Immortal Realm..."
Chen Sansi asked, "Does the Immortal Realm truly exist in this world?"
"It certainly does exist."
