The sky was still bright when Long Ming strolled toward the Emerald Flower Palace. It was two hours before official business hours, yet the guards at the entrance didn't even bat an eye. They simply bowed respectfully and opened the side door for him without a word.
Inside the guard room, two burly men exchanged glances after he passed.
"Again? That guy really comes and goes as he pleases…"
"Shh, lower your voice. You want to die?"
The older guard leaned in, whispering, I heard that it's the owner herself who ordered everyone to not stop him. Some say he's related to the owner… maybe even her secret lover?"
"Bullshit. If he were her lover, why would he still visit other girls every other night?"
"Then maybe he's belongs to some Ancient Clan or sect??"
The younger guard scratched his head. "Who knows… that fellow is too mysterious. Handsome face, endless money, and even the top courtesans fight to serve him. If he isn't the hidden owner, then I don't know what he is."
