Cultivation Begins with Caring for Sister-in-law-Chapter 395: Senior and Junior Brothers Reunited
Luonan.
"Is this Luonan?"
Outside Luonan City, Hui Cheng, as if never having seen the world, looked at the majestic and grand city walls, and couldn’t help but exclaim.
Although Luonan is fraught with contradictions, there is still an apparent prosperity and order; otherwise, Luonan would have fallen into chaos long ago.
After entering the city, Hui Cheng watched the hustle and bustle, the people coming and going without end, full of prosperity and liveliness, all things that do not exist in the mountains.
Even the snacks sold by street vendors made Hui Cheng drool uncontrollably.
Wanting to buy, he reached for his pocket, but found it empty.
At this moment, he saw a middle-aged man buying a string of candied haws for his son, noting the position where he placed his money pouch.
Hui Cheng walked over and, just brushing past him, the middle-aged man’s money pouch ended up in Hui Cheng’s hand.
He used the stolen money to buy the food he wanted.
Eating the snacks, Hui Cheng felt no guilt for stealing the money; on the contrary, he was quite pleased, secretly thinking this money was too easy to come by.
Knowing only that the senior apprentice was in Luonan but not where specifically, Hui Cheng could only ask his way along.
While passing a place of worldly pleasures, a girl outside was beckoning customers, seductively winking at Hui Cheng: "Sir, come in and have some fun."
Having grown up in the mountains, Hui Cheng was not immune to such temptation; one could say, in his eyes, even monkeys were delicately beautiful. Seeing the seductive glance thrown by the girl, he felt a thrill inside, as if a cat was scratching at him.
Those girls were experienced, knowing Hui Cheng was tempted, they immediately walked up and pulled Hui Cheng into the brothel.
A night of indulgence.
Lying on the bed, freed from the label of virginity, he harbored some resentment towards his mentor Wuya, secretly thinking life in the mountains before was bitter, and regretting not coming down sooner.
Hui Cheng did not forget his purpose; after lying down for a while, he got up, dressed, and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, the girl asked him to pay.
Unlike his senior brother, although Hui Cheng hadn’t seen the world, he was somewhat aware of how the outside world worked, casually tossing the money pouch he had obtained yesterday to the girl.
But the girl, after looking through it, immediately changed her expression, still maintaining a professional smile: "Sir, please don’t tease me."
Hui Cheng: "How am I teasing you?"
"Sir, I’m the top girl of Spring Breeze Pavilion, although business has been sluggish in recent years, it’s still not just for this small amount of money." The girl said.
Because the money pouch was casually stolen, the middle-aged man was not from a wealthy family and naturally wouldn’t carry much money when going out.
This money suffices for buying daily commodities but falls far short at a brothel.
Hui Cheng was stunned for a moment, then said honestly: "That’s all I have."
The girl’s face slightly changed but said nothing, quickly dressing and leaving the room.
Just as Hui Cheng thought the matter would end there, as soon as he walked out the door, a few burly men blocked his way, and the girl pointed at him from behind them: "That’s him, stayed overnight without paying, even threw me a few dozen copper coins to tease me."
The girl had completely changed her demeanor from before.
"Sir, Miss Ru Yan is the top girl here, having served you diligently all night, it’s unreasonable not to pay." A burly man said amiably, not aggressive yet.
"I paid, I gave all the money I had on me to her." Hui Cheng pointed at the girl.
The few men’s expressions changed slightly, realizing they were dealing with a penniless guest.
You see, their Spring Breeze Pavilion had good business because they never judged people by appearance or despised anyone. No matter how poorly dressed, the guest was always well-served.
After all, business means not rejecting any customer.
Similarly, guests to Spring Breeze Pavilion understood this; without money, they wouldn’t come in.
This was commonly understood.
Rarely would genuinely penniless guests come in.
The woman snapped angrily: "Without money, why come to a brothel, and pick the top girl?"
"It was your people who brought me in, and your people who recommended I pick you." Hui Cheng was also annoyed.
After speaking, he intended to leave.
The burly men stopped Hui Cheng, saying: "If the guest doesn’t have money, then you must stay and work off the debt, once you have paid off last night’s dues, you can leave."
Brothels don’t operate as charities.
At this, Hui Cheng simply couldn’t hold back.
Seeing the burly men insisting on blocking him, Hui Cheng immediately began to fight back.
The commotion was quite large.
The guests all turned to watch the spectacle.
However, all the bouncers in the brothel together were no match for Hui Cheng.
Eventually, it alerted the boss.
To maintain face.
The boss reported it to the government.
To run a brothel in Luonan surely requires some dealings with the government.
Thus, officials were alarmed, called upon to capture Hui Cheng.
The officials assumed it was just a lower-grade Martial Artist, and initially didn’t take special notice, so the first group sent wasn’t large.
Consequently, the officials were also no match for Hui Cheng.
The commotion grew too large, alarming the Luonan garrison, prompting the military to step in to capture Hui Cheng.
This time, Hui Cheng was finally thwarted.
At the critical moment, he reported the senior apprentice Lu Sheng’s name.
"I am the junior apprentice of Grand General Lu Sheng, my name is Hui Cheng, I came to find refuge with him, I want to see the Grand General."
Seeing Hui Cheng’s extraordinary talent, the garrison rather believed him, thus reported it upwards.
The next day, Hui Cheng was escorted by the garrison to the Grand General’s Mansion.
Upon stepping into the mansion, Hui Cheng’s eyes lit up, because the maids here, nearly all of them matched the looks of Miss Ru Yan in the brothel.
The Grand General’s estate was vast, which made Hui Cheng who was used to living in a wooden hut yearn, thinking to himself that he would live this kind of life in the future.
After a walk lasting nearly half an hour, Hui Cheng finally met Lu Sheng as he had hoped.
Having matured long ago, Lu Sheng wasn’t much changed in Hui Cheng’s eyes, quickly recognizing: "Senior brother, it seems what I heard was indeed true."
Lu Sheng looked at Hui Cheng for quite a while.
After all, he had been away from Dragon Return Mountain for over a decade.
Back then, Chang En and Hui Cheng were both minors.
Yet still faintly carried the youthful shadow.
"It’s really you little junior brother, how come you’re here? Below, they say you came to find refuge with me?" Lu Sheng was truly puzzled, after all, he had renounced the school lineage before, logically, the other should resent him, why come to find refuge?
"Master said his time is running out, told me to come down the mountain with senior brother. I heard earlier you changed your name, became a Grand General, I don’t know anyone outside so I came to you." Hui Cheng said.
"What?!" Hearing master’s time running out, a strand of sorrow flashed through Lu Sheng’s eyes, then he said: "It’s not exactly name-changing, after coming out, I inquired from those who knew the details back then, learned my real name was always Lu Sheng."
He stepped forward, patted Hui Cheng’s shoulder, laughed: "Since you still recognize me as senior brother, follow me henceforth."
