Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Smelling Fragrance

A night without incident.

The next day, at dawn.

The torrential rain stopped, and the morning sun rose.

The caravan that had stayed overnight in the temple set off once more, treading the muddy road.

Four days later.

In Yongning City, a young man in a blue robe was practicing boxing in a luxurious courtyard.

Each punch and kick was exceptionally slow, but every strike caused the entire courtyard to tremble slightly.

It was after some time that the young man stopped his practice and picked up a jade bottle that was set aside and began to drink from it.

The golden liquid slid down the bottle’s mouth into Liang Hui’s throat, turning into streams of warmth that filled his entire body.

At the same time, the luxurious courtyard was filled with the pungent aroma of alcohol.

After drinking about a quarter of it, Liang Hui stored the Monkey Wine back into his storage space.

He turned his head and looked at the two figures standing outside the courtyard.

One was aged, the other, tall and straight.

The young man, with a tall and straight posture, supported the elder and slowly walked into the courtyard.

The younger man sniffed lightly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he did not speak.

The elder, whether in expression or gaze, showed no change, as if he had smelled nothing.

"Young Brother Qin, this is my son Huang Hao."

"Hao’er, this man is your father’s savior. Without Young Brother Qin, your father would have died in Leizhou."

Upon hearing this, the young man in white clothes let go of the arm he was supporting.

He stepped forward, cupped his fists together, and bowed.

"Brother Qin, thank you for saving my father’s life."

"If there is anything you command in the future, Hao will surely do his utmost."

"We simply took what we needed, there’s no need for such formality," Liang Hui said with a light laugh.

The young man before him looked serious and, without saying anything more, took a ring from his bosom and passed it over.

At this time, the elder behind him explained, "Young Brother Qin, this is a storage ring, and the medicinal herbs you asked for are all inside."

"Collecting these herbs took some time, which is why they are only being delivered now."

"It’s no trouble at all."

Liang Hui took the ring and, after inspecting the storage space, nodded slightly.

The ring contained herbs of the Organ Refining Level, as Liang Hui had asked the Huang family to exchange the entire thank-you gift for escorting them with the corresponding medicinal herbs.

"As long as you are satisfied," said the elder, his face also showing a smile.

After pausing, he continued, "About the matter of the Permit, we can only deal with it tonight. Hao’er will go with you then."

"As for joining the Lan Yue Pavilion, arrangements are being made. There will be a result within half a month."

"Elder Huang, I’m grateful for your effort," Liang Hui said sincerely.

"It’s nothing, nothing at all," the elder waved his hand.

By this time, Huang Hao had also retreated to his father’s side.

"Brother Qin, I will come to find you tonight to deal with the Permit."

"Alright," Liang Hui nodded.

The Huang father and son, having finished what they came to do, left the courtyard of their own accord.

As the two of them moved away from the courtyard, Huang Hao couldn’t help but speak up:

"Does father really need to go to this extent? A Permit, and moreover, using aunt’s connections to get him into the Lan Yue Pavilion."

"Although Brother Qin escorted you back to Yongning City, the gifts in the ring should be more than enough."

The elder suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He turned around!

His cloudy eyes stared at his son.

"Do you know how to face a powerhouse who has waded through mountains of corpses and seas of blood?"

"To keep our promise and to be vigilant. Since we have agreed to something, we should do our utmost to fulfill it."

"Hao’er, you are too arrogant. How much of the world have you seen? Never assume that the region around Yongning City for thousands of miles is the entire world."

Even though the elder was scolding, his words were full of concern.

For an old man who had a child late in life, the young man before him was the continuation of his own bloodline, his lineage’s only male heir.

He was also the one who, after his death, would become the patriarch of the Huang Family.

It was permissible to make mistakes, but making such a grave error was not.

"Father, I understand what I should do now,"

Huang Hao’s face bore a bitter smile, having not expected a simple complaint to elicit such a strong reaction from his father.

Elsewhere.

After Huang Hao and his son departed, Liang Hui made his way to the living room.

Sitting in the chair, he took out his sword and halberd to polish them and also checked for any damage.

The next half a month was extremely important for him as it concerned whether he could gain a foothold in Tuzhou.

He must maintain his strength in peak condition at all times.

Time trickled by.

The sun set in the west.

Thump! Thump!

"Brother Qin, I’m here."

Upon hearing the call from outside, Liang Hui quickly moved forward.

Creak!

As he opened the door, there stood Huang Hao in a white robe, holding a folding fan.

Huang Hao, looking at the figure in front of him carrying a halberd, a longbow, and wearing a sword at his waist, wore a look of helplessness on his face.

"Brother Qin, we are only going to handle the jade permit, not to fight."

"Is there a restriction on bringing weapons to the place we are going?"

Liang Hui asked, while his palm caressed the sword hilt.

Hearing this, Huang Hao pondered for a moment before shaking his head.

"No, there’s not."

"Then let’s set off."

"Alright."

Persuaded by Liang Hui, Huang Hao nodded in agreement and led the way.

Before long, the two left the Huang Family and stepped onto the streets, the sounds of hawking and revelry reaching their ears from all sides.

The surrounding bustle was far greater than that of Burntwood City; as for comparisons with Leiji City, that was beyond Liang Hui’s knowledge.

After all, he had never entered the large cities of Leizhou, such as Leiji City, and had always stayed around its black market.

About half an hour later, Huang Hao halted and pointed at a building complex ahead.

"Brother Qin, we have arrived."

Staring at the building complex before him, Liang Hui’s brow furrowed slightly.

Gauze danced in the air, and the scent of rouge was pervasive, with laughter and playful noises continuously emanating from the building.

Looking up, he saw the nameplate of the building, "Fragrance Pavilion," come into view.

"A brothel!"

"It’s Fragrance Pavilion, the place where you need to handle your business. Because the origin is too vague, the official offices cannot approve it; only here can it be done," Huang Hao stated frankly.

Upon hearing this, Liang Hui’s slightly furrowed brow relaxed gradually.

Stepping forward, Huang Hao quickly caught up to walk beside him.

As they entered the building, various fragrances filled their noses, and on the second floor, there were beautiful women dressed in red dancing enchantingly.

There were also women with cold expressions, casting their eyes downward, watching the guests who kept coming in.

Young women, beautiful married women, open and passionate, cold as frost, heroines - every type of woman could be found here.

Liang Hui’s mouth twitched as he observed his surroundings. The brothel seemed quite keen on variety; the industry’s competitive pressure must be significant.

"Brother Qin, most of the women upstairs sell their talents but not their bodies. To embrace their charms, mutual consent is required,"

Huang Hao, his face filled with smiles, explained as he scanned the surroundings.

"Young Master Huang has arrived; why didn’t you notify us in advance? I could have made arrangements,"

In a tender voice, a gorgeously attired and voluptuous woman quickly approached Huang Hao’s side.

Her eyes lingered with a complaining gaze as she grabbed his arm and pulled it into her embrace.

"Haha, my apologies, Panderess."

"I’ve come on some business this time; my friend and I have reserved room Jia Yi. Could you arrange it?"

"Jia Yi? I understand,"

The Panderess’s tender face also took on a serious expression, but she quickly returned to her usual demeanor.
