As expected of the biggest brothel in Wu City, it was extremely luxurious.

"The girls are still dressing. Young masters, please wait for a moment." The old procuress gave him a coquettish look and turned to entertain him.

Bao Fu Xu hurriedly took out a silk handkerchief and wiped his hands.

"If Qingfeng knew that you not only came to the brothel, but also used the silk handkerchief that she gave you to wipe the makeup left behind by a bawd, I wonder how she would feel." Lin Yi said as he saw the fine bamboo embroidered delicately on the silk handkerchief.

"What else can I do without her? Even if she were to marry me, she wouldn't care where I went. How can a man be imprisoned by a woman?"

"A real man should be responsible. Since he married a woman, he should be responsible for her life. Obviously, you can't afford to be a man. " Su Mu frowned. The Su family had an ancestor. The men of the Su family could only marry one person. She saw the girl who married into the Su family obtain happiness, and also saw the girl who married out of the Su family wasting her life. The Su family's woman was jealous. This was something that everyone in the capital knew, but who was the one who forced her to do this? She hated men like Bao Fu the most.

As Bao Fu was arguing, Su Mu ignored her and walked away. She knew that she couldn't change the minds of others, so she just ignored them.

The third floor was where the girls lived. The doors of the upstairs were tightly shut, blocking the hungry gazes of the guests as they gazed into the room. Soft red candlelight could be faintly seen from the exquisite window frames, and occasionally, faint shadows would brush past. The woman raised her wide sleeve to cover the corner of her mouth, her eyebrows were like spring water, her cheeks were like peach blossoms, and her muscles were flawless, and her appearance was extremely beautiful.

Lin Yi stood beside Su Mu, carefully protecting her. The surrounding people buzzed with activity, and their mouths were not too clean.

"I've booked a room upstairs. Let's go up." Su Mu's words made Bao Fusheng's face turn ugly and his speech became a bit awkward.

Su Mu also knew that he was being too direct. No matter what, Ye Zichen was only an outsider, so it was impossible for her to admit her wrongs. She entered the private room and isolated herself from the commotion outside, making the atmosphere even more awkward.

"The show is about to begin. Who will be the first to get the top spot tonight?" The bawd stood on the stage and spoke, shaking the silk between her fingers.

"Yingying! "Yingying!"

"Sang Xin!" "Sang Xin!"

Yingying and Sang Xin were the signboards of the thrush shop. Once they entered, who wouldn't want to be the guest of the scene for these two people?

Su Mu was a person who enjoyed peace and quiet. At this moment, there were too many people and his voice was heavy. Su Mu only felt a sudden pain in his head.

"I'm going out for a while." Su Mu said as he opened the door and walked out.

"It's too messy here. I think it's better to stay in the room." Lin Yi was worried.

Su Mu said: "I thank Sir Lin for your concern. Brother Zhou will definitely protect me."

Seeing Su Mu and Su Li leave, Bao Fu Sheng could not help but tell Lin Yi Su Mu's mistake. He was stopped by Lin Yi, "A woman is willing to bear your children. It is she who has feelings for you. How can you use such feelings to ruin a woman?" Zhuo Qingfeng's family and the Queen were close, so Qingfeng would naturally come to the palace often. Lin Yi had seen her a few times, so she was a good girl.

Su Mu also didn't expect that someone would stop him if he casually walked around.

"Beauty, hehe, it's a beauty." A man with shaky steps walked past Su Mu. He was at peace, but he suddenly turned his head towards Su Mu and said, "Smells so good."

He smelled of alcohol and was obviously a drunkard. Su Mu wanted to push him away, but the drunk man wouldn't let her go. The drunkard was taller than Su Mu by half a head, so Su Mu was unable to break free.

"Zhou Ye!" Calling Zhou Ye was useless. Seeing that Su Mu had been entangled, Zhou Ye immediately began to take action, but that drunkard also had guards by his side. The staircase was small, and Zhou Ye had his hands and feet tied.

No matter how good Su Mu's brain was, he had no one to rely on when facing an unreasonable drunkard. Moreover, this drunkard seemed to know a bit of martial arts, so Su Mu's fancy martial arts couldn't do anything to him.

It was a good thing that a girl suddenly walked down the stairs. With a wave of the woman's hand, the guards behind her all went up and stopped the drunkard.

"Girls should not come to the thrush shop to watch us." In Sang Xin's eyes, Su Mu's techniques were not even worth mentioning. With just a glance, he could see through Su Mu's body.

Being told that a beauty could still act like a drunkard and spouting nonsense by a drunk, Su Mu also began to suspect that his disguise was too immature.

Su Mu first looked behind him. Zhou Ye stood up straight with an unconcealed astonishment on his face. It was obvious that he heard Sang Xin's words, "Just based on my brother's identity, he's not related to men or women. I won't say too much." Zhou Ye understood the expression on Su Mu's face and took the initiative to speak.

"Thank you, Miss Sang Xin." Su Mu bent down to thank her. The girl in front of him gently grasped her waist as she wore a bright red dress with golden lines intertwined on it, creating a breathtaking scene. Between her brows, a speck of cinnabar was lit.

Sang Xin didn't say anything more. She didn't have any good feelings towards the girl who came to the brothel. To her, the thrush shop was like a dragon's lagoon or a tiger's den, but to other girls, it was a place to play and adventure!

Su Mu guessed that Sang Xin was about to go on stage and went back to the private box.

"Brother Su has missed a lot!" In a crowded situation, Lin Yi did not dare to pay too much attention to Su Mu. He was afraid that there would be spies from the Yan family nearby so he sat in the private room. However, Lin Yi could not settle down.

"On this piece of paper, it says' Next is Sang Xin. 'I have heard of the Song-Dancing Song before, I don't know if this Sang Xin's Song-Dancing will be able to disturb my heart." Bao Fu Yun said. He was a man of his heart, so his quarrel with Su Mu had already followed the girls into the distance. "Don't disappoint me with the peony flower that I left behind."

"Everything else aside, her appearance will definitely make you lose your soul." Su Mu said.

"You've seen her?" Bag asked.

"We just bumped into each other." Su Mu didn't say anything more. In any case, he was just a little frightened and wasn't injured.

As they chatted, Sang Xin went up the stage.

"The dance turned back to the red sleeves, and the song was beautiful and bright. "Worthy of being the signboard of the thrush business." The bag floated, unable to open his eyes. His mouth was full of praise.

Lin Yi drank his tea indifferently, trying to figure out why Su Mu was frowning.

"Do you guys have your swords and sabers with you? Can I borrow them?" Su Mu suddenly asked.

What are you going to do?" Lin Yi used his fan as a weapon, but he couldn't bring out any swords. Instead, he pulled out a dagger and a sword that he had previously used as a wager.

"Just listen and watch." Su Mu had once heard his mother say that she was the one who created the Fleeting Dance. It wasn't because of love, but because of her worried brother. He described how he was shocked but not because of a chaotic mood, but the Fleeting Dance before his eyes was very charming and seemed to offer a way out for her.

Su Mu opened the window wide, a sword in his left hand, and a dagger in his right.

The spectators were originally attracted by Sang Xin's dance, but were now disturbed by the sudden sound of swords and sabers. They all poked their heads out to see who was so untactful. Sang Xin, who was on the stage, also heard the sound of swords and sabers, and paused for a moment. She always felt that her dance was different from what she remembered, but she could not figure out what was missing, and now that she heard the sound of swords and sabers, she suddenly felt enlightened, and changed her posture. She raised her hand and threw out half of her sleeves, which looked like a sabre and sword.

The two of them danced together, and they had a tacit understanding.

The wind was so strong that it was hard to look at. The bad dancers could not see what was so special about it, and only felt that it was shocking and filled with emotion.

After the song ended, the red peonies were all tossed onto the stage one after another while Bao Fusheng threw the peonies in his hands onto the stage.

Sang Xin stood on the stage, but he felt extremely tired. Why was she struggling to survive?

Tears welled from the corners of his eyes.

Sang Xin was helped off the stage.
