Heh! Jiang Bin sneered coldly. He glanced at Li Shiyan being held down by Little Luzi across from him and said disdainfully: “I’m not Wang Huai. To deal with someone, you can’t rely entirely on brute force. No matter how capable Li Shiyan is, he can’t cover the sky with one hand. I, Jiang Bin, am no pushover either. If he wants to fight, then I’ll fight him to the death!”

Fight to the death!

Even Wang Huai when he was alive wouldn’t have dared say such words.

Where did Jiang Bin get such ability!

Men A, B, C, and D looked at each other. No one said anything further.

After being disturbed by Jiang Bin, Li Shiyan’s interest in watching the Courtesan Selection had been spoiled by half. He had the waiter bring wine and downed several cups by himself before dispersing the anger in his heart.

At this time, Luo Yang, who should have been at the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, had already arrived outside Saixian Tower.

Accompanying him was Zhou Quan, who had invited him yesterday.

This was Luo Yang’s first time here. Upon entering, he was dumbfounded. He hadn’t expected Saixian Tower to be so magnificently luxurious, decorated so elegantly, and so large that he couldn’t take it all in with one glance.

“Come on, it’s upstairs!” Zhou Quan pulled him toward the third floor.

As Luo Yang went up, he searched for something among the many people and nearly missed a step, fortunately grabbing the railing.

He sucked in a breath!

Zhou Quan turned back to ask him: “What are you looking at?”

“How come I don’t see any young ladies? Didn’t you say today was some Courtesan Selection?”

“The young ladies are all preparing in the pavilions in the back. It hasn’t started yet, so of course they haven’t come out. Look how impatient you are!”

“Who’s impatient!”

“Looking at you, it’s like you’ve never seen a beauty before.”

“Of course I have!” Luo Yang answered him definitively, his face full of seriousness. In his mind instantly floated a clean and delicate face, especially those eyes as clear and bright as stars. Whenever he thought of them, his heart couldn’t help but stir with emotion, as if a feather were tickling between his bones.

Seeing the smile spilling from the corners of his lips, Zhou Quan asked with full curiosity: “Who is it?”

“The most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. Just one glance, and she was firmly etched in my heart.”

“How celestially beautiful must she be? Who exactly is it? Is she in Yanjing?”

Luo Yang pulled himself out of his fantasy. The smile on his lips froze, and he frowned slightly, pushing him lightly and turning the tables: “Just now you said I was impatient. I think you’re the impatient one.”

“I…” Zhou Quan was left speechless.

Luo Yang was unwilling to say more. He went around him and headed directly to the third floor.

Zhou Quan quickly turned and chased after him: “Just tell me! Who exactly is it? Have I seen her? Is she from Yanjing? Are you talking about that young lady who won the title of courtesan three years ago? Just tell me, is it her…”

When the two reached the third floor, the seats were almost all full.

However, there was an empty two-person table by the stairway.

But… there was a large pillar in front of the table blocking the view.

Luo Yang was slightly shocked and pointed in disbelief: “It can’t be this one, can it?”

Zhou Quan nodded and sat down, pouring himself a cup of water as he said: “Yes, I had to pull strings a long time ago to get this.”

“How can we watch with this big pillar in front?”

“When the time comes, we’ll just lean back a bit, won’t we?”

“…”

Although Luo Yang was speechless, thinking that being able to come to Saixian Tower was already thanks to someone else’s blessing, how could he have the qualification to be picky?

After thinking about it, he could only sit down!

But unexpectedly at this moment, a voice came from not far away: “You little brat, it’s you!”

Hearing this, Luo Yang’s back tensed.

He looked toward the sound and saw the exquisitely dressed Qiu Shu angrily walking over.

Truly when enemies cross paths!

To run into each other here!

He instinctively stood up and stepped back, but though he could avoid the first day, he couldn’t avoid the fifteenth. Qiu Shu came up and grabbed his clothes: “You still dare come here? I haven’t settled my grudge with you from last time. Today I’ll properly settle accounts with you.”

Raising her hand, she was about to swing it at Luo Yang’s face!

But Luo Yang grabbed it and pushed her away.

“You…”

Luo Yang gave her no pleasant expression: “You what? This young master here hasn’t settled accounts with you yet!”

“Arrogant scoundrel!”

“You were the one who pushed this young master into the pond first. Not making you swallow a few more mouthfuls of water is already giving you face. You still have the nerve to bare your fangs and brandish your claws at me. Let me tell you, if you continue making unreasonable trouble, I’ll throw you down from up here!”

Luo Yang raised his eyebrows.

Qiu Shu’s face flushed red, she bit her teeth tightly, wishing she could swallow the man before her alive!

Her chest heaved with anger, her eyes glaring: “What kind of thing are you? In this Yanjing City, no one has dared to repeatedly offend me. If I don’t flay the skin off you, I won’t be surnamed Qiu.”

“Good, this young master is waiting!”

Qiu Shu raised her voice to command several servants of Saixian Tower who were working: “You few, seize this reckless little brat who doesn’t know life from death.”

The several servants froze for a moment.

They all knew Qiu Shu—the blood sister of the current Empress!

She had always done as she pleased in Yanjing City. Everyone knew it.

Zhou Quan at the side, seeing this situation, instinctively dodged aside, then lowered his voice to say to Qiu Shu: “Miss Qiu, this won’t do. As a great person, don’t hold grudges against a small person. Let’s just forget it.”

Qiu Shu glared at him fiercely: “What kind of dog thing are you to dare plead with this young lady? Get lost to the side.”

“Uh!” Zhou Quan truly didn’t dare provoke her.

He timidly moved to the side.

Seeing that the servants still weren’t moving, Qiu Shu angrily rebuked: “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and seize him!”

With this imperial relative giving orders, they didn’t dare disobey!

Moreover, Luo Yang had an unfamiliar face and was clearly not some important figure. The servants had no qualms!

So upon receiving the order, they quickly put down what they were doing and moved forward to seize him.

Seeing them rush toward him, Luo Yang retreated backward: “You dare.”

Of course they dared!

Qiu Shu continued to order: “Tie him up for me and lock him in the back courtyard. After the selection ends, this young lady will properly deal with him.”

The servants’ hands had just touched Luo Yang’s arm when they heard an imposing voice call out: “Stop!”

Everyone’s movements came to an abrupt halt!

Li Shiyan strode over quickly, bringing with him an air of proud authority. When he walked up to one of the servants, he raised his hand and viciously slapped the man across the face: “You dare seize even this heir’s friend? Have you eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard?”

Friend?

This Luo Yang didn’t look like Li Shiyan’s friend from any three-hundred-sixty-degree angle!

The servants felt strange in their hearts, but instantly became timid.

They knew that even though Qiu Shu was the Empress’s blood sister, when it came to power and authority, she still couldn’t compare to Young Master Li.

Better to offend a vicious woman than to offend someone like Li Shiyan!

Otherwise the consequences would be fatal!

“Young master? How are you here?” Luo Yang hadn’t expected Li Shiyan to also be here. Had he known he would come, he wouldn’t have needed to come with Zhou Quan. He could have come directly with the young master—how much more convenient that would have been!
