Yao Xian followed the three, and before long, they arrived at an even more bustling area than before, but the vendors with stalls were gone, replaced by shops on both sides.
Clearly, this was a private area where stalls were not allowed.
But there were a lot of people!
Even though Yao Xian had changed her appearance, she was still tall, half a head taller than the average man. Through the moving crowd, she saw the sign for "Everlasting Tavern."
Just from the sign, Yao Xian felt a grand, imposing, and soul-stirring aura.
She had once said that Gu Changsheng's name was very domineering, and this sign gave her the same feeling.
But both were related to longevity, could they be the same person?
Although Yao Xian felt this was unlikely, as long as she hadn't seen the tavern owner, there was a 50% chance. (Schrödinger's probability, as long as I don't see it, it's 50/50, hahaha.)
But soon, Yao Xian was attracted by a burst of exclamations.
She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a red bridal sedan landing in front of the Everlasting Tavern. A beautiful woman in a bright red dress walked out of the sedan, and her appearance immediately caused a stir of amazement among the men nearby.
From these scattered voices, Yao Xian learned that this woman was the courtesan of the Red Flower House. The Red Flower House was a famous brothel in Tianrao City, and the women inside were divided into two types: those who sold their art and their bodies, and those who sold their art but not their bodies.
And the courtesan was the latter, and all of them retained their virginity.
But even so, being from a brothel, no matter how untainted by the filth, their reputation would not be good.
Yao Xian glanced at the woman, listened to the men's exclamations and praises, and snorted disdainfully in her heart. In her opinion, the most beautiful woman in Tianrao City was only so-so.
Soon, another bridal sedan landed in front of the Everlasting Tavern. A woman also stepped out of the sedan, dressed luxuriously, exuding an air of nobility.
This was the daughter of the Li family, Li Wanyun.
In a short time, Yao Xian learned that the Li family was the richest family in Tianrao City, and Li Wanyun was the daughter of the richest man. Countless people dreamed of climbing onto this golden bird and never having to worry for the rest of their lives.
The two women appeared one after another, and after meeting, they both snorted coldly, the atmosphere thick with gunpowder.
If these two were both cultivators, Yao Xian guessed they would definitely fight at this time.
But Yao Xian was more curious about what kind of person could cause the two women to be so jealous. Although these two women couldn't compare to herself, they were considered rare beauties in the mortal world. Comparisons needed to be made between similar levels, so she was quite curious about who the owner of the Everlasting Tavern was.
"Miss Li, why are you out here today instead of studying in the manor?" The courtesan of the Red Flower House was named Chun, but her temperament was not pure at all. In a brothel like the Red Flower House, being able to maintain her virginity and become a courtesan, in addition to her superb skills, she was naturally skilled in scheming. How could she be pure?
Although Chun's name contained the character for "pure," her temperament was very mature. From eighty-year-old men to lovestruck teenagers, everyone liked this temperament very much.
In contrast, although Li Wanyun was dressed luxuriously and exuded nobility, she was only eighteen or nineteen years old, a year or two younger than Chun, and still had some childishness about her.
Hearing Chun's words, Li Wanyun snorted lightly, "Whether I have time or not is none of your business."
Li Wanyun's words revealed that she didn't have much guile.
"Hehe, I'm just concerned about Miss Li. If the Li family head knows that you've sneaked out again, he might make trouble for Boss Gu," Chun chuckled.
Li Wanyun's face changed slightly. Clearly, Chun had guessed correctly. She had indeed sneaked out.
As the only daughter of the Li family, and the Li family being the richest family in Tianrao City, the Li family would definitely be handed over to Li Wanyun in the future. Therefore, the Li family's education of Li Wanyun was quite strict. Not only did she have to learn the eight arts for women, but she also had to learn the six arts for gentlemen.
"If you say that again, believe it or not, I'll beat you," Li Wanyun said, waving her small fists.
Chun took a few steps back. She knew that although Li Wanyun was young, her martial strength was not low. Ordinary three or four strong men couldn't get close to her. If she really beat her, the few people beside her couldn't stop her.
Seeing that her threat had successfully scared Chun, Li Wanyun snorted triumphantly and then walked into the Everlasting Tavern.
Seeing this, Chun quickly followed into the Everlasting Tavern.
But Yao Xian heard that the boss's surname was Gu, plus the name Everlasting Tavern, and her heart couldn't help but beat faster.
Could it really be such a coincidence in the world?
Could it be that the Everlasting Tavern was opened by Gu Changsheng? Did Gu Changsheng also come to the mortal world to experience life?
Although very few powerful cultivators would descend to the mortal world, it wasn't unheard of. Yao Xian had once heard her father say that before her father broke through to True Immortal at the Supreme realm, he had also traveled in the mortal world for hundreds of years, and finally had an epiphany and broke through.
Although she didn't know how strong Gu Changsheng was, being able to teach a genius disciple like Li Beifei, he probably wouldn't be worse than her father, and was likely also here to experience life.
Thinking of this, Yao Xian eagerly wanted to walk towards the Everlasting Tavern.
But she found that there weren't many people inside the tavern, only Li Wanyun and Chun, but outside the tavern, it was crowded with people who didn't mind watching the excitement.
To squeeze in, ordinary methods wouldn't work.
But Yao Xian didn't plan to use the power of a cultivator while experiencing life in the mortal world, but even without the power of a cultivator, she had a way.
"Little Phoenix!"
Yao Xian looked at the "sparrow" on her shoulder.
Little Phoenix had long been in sync with Yao Xian's thoughts. It nodded lightly, then took off the money bag from Yao Xian's waist and flew into the sky, and then used a move of scattering flowers, hundreds of taels of silver fell from the sky.
"Ouch, which guy dared to hit me with a stone?"
A young man was hit, and with quick eyes and hands, he grabbed the thing that hit him. He looked at it and was immediately shocked: "It's money... ah, money is falling from the sky."
He wasn't the only one who was hit. Many people were hit. Soon, everyone stopped watching the excitement and started picking up the silver on the ground.
Little Phoenix intentionally controlled the area where the silver was scattered, which happened to be not in front of the tavern.
Soon, a path was cleared. Seeing this, Yao Xian looked up at Little Phoenix and said, "Well done."
Little Phoenix chirped triumphantly, then landed on Yao Xian's shoulder and entered the Everlasting Tavern with Yao Xian.
As soon as she entered the tavern, she saw a young man in a green shirt sitting on a recliner, leisurely holding a seemingly ordinary wine pot and drinking comfortably.
And the two women who had entered the tavern earlier were staring at him in a daze, without even drinking the wine in front of them, just watching.
Yao Xian recognized Gu Changsheng at a glance. She suppressed the urge to recognize him immediately, came to an empty table and sat down, pretending to be calm and said.
"Boss, bring me a pot of wine!"
