Ah Jiu brought his people to the Fragrance Quest Pavilion just as the lamps were being lit, but it was as bright as day inside, surely the most thriving brothel in the imperial city.
"Oh, this gentleman..." A woman dressed in sheer fabric waved a handkerchief and walked over, a fragrant breeze trailing her, but before she got close to Ah Jiu, she was stopped by Yuan Ye.
The woman stiffened, looking at them warily. Yuan Ye tossed over one ingot of five taels of silver and said, "We're here to find someone, a young master and a man in white."
"Who are you?"
"They are friends of our young master."
"I see, they're in the Xiaoxiang Room and have asked for the company of our Miss Zuixiang, Miss Mi Xiang, and Miss Piaoxiang." The woman giggled, pointing to a direction upstairs.
Ah Jiu had already lifted his leg to head up there.
The woman watched them leave, turned around, and ran into their brothel's madam, the young woman who initially sparred with Wufu.
