Chapter 206 Red Sleeve Move
The conspiracy between Pan Jia and his grandson remains unknown to anyone.
Chu Shen was watching the ranking battles of others.
The first round of the Tianjiao Sequence ranking battles was still ongoing, but his own battle had already ended. If he wanted to fight, he would have to wait for the second round. Whether or not he would challenge higher-ranked Tianjiao would depend on how much fighting power was left after this first round, and how much of their true strength they had revealed.
Just like the disciple from the Lingjian Peak who challenged him, not only did he fail, but he also revealed his true strength. It is estimated that he will be targeted in the second round.
Not to mention, those who can advance in the Tianjiao Sequence ranking battles are all highly skilled. The scene is no less spectacular than a blockbuster movie.
But the duration of the battles has also greatly extended, and by the time the last match of the day is finished, the stars are already shining in the sky.
It seems that there is no way to return to the Qunyu Palace. Even if Bai Ying's speed is fast, it will still take a considerable amount of time to travel from the Lingqi Peak to the Lingjue Peak. It would be too tiring to send him over early tomorrow morning. It's better to use a communication symbol to contact the family and stay overnight in the Practitioner's Market at the foot of the Lingqi Peak. "987"
If they return too late during this period, it often ends up like this. Whether it's Chu Shen himself or the concubines of the Chu family, they have all gotten used to it. Even the inn where Chu Shen often stays has become quite familiar to him.
"Guest, you're here to stay at the inn again today, right?" A waiter who had served him several times ran up to greet him, offering a warm towel attentively.
Chu Shen is generous and kind-hearted, and when he has free time, he even gives pointers to the service staff of these inns, which makes him quite popular.
"Yes, today's ranking battles in the Tianjiao Sequence were much more intense than the usual battles between ordinary disciples, so naturally it took longer," Chu Shen replied. He was also happy to chat with the waiter, just like after watching a game or a good movie, he had the desire to discuss it with fellow enthusiasts.
Furthermore, don't underestimate people like Xiao Er. Although their cultivation is low, they rely on being descendants of formal disciples of the Langxuan Heavenly Palace. They have received blessings and are allowed to stay in the inner courtyard, so they have access to a wide range of information and know many secrets that ordinary people don't. It's quite interesting to chat with them, and you might hear some interesting gossip.
But unfortunately, today is a bit inconvenient.
"Speaking of which, recently, thanks to the blessings of the grand competition, business at the inn has been getting better and better. Today, sir, you arrived a bit late, so there are no vacant rooms. Please forgive us."
Chu Shen, holding a towel, paused slightly: "Why are there no vacant rooms today? Weren't there more vacant rooms a few days ago?"
Xiao Er had a bitter expression: "That's why I said it's unfortunate. I guess the competition ended later today, so more people decided to stay overnight, just like you."
Chu Shen had no intention of causing trouble for others: "In that case, I'll find another inn to stay at. Do you know which one still has vacant rooms?"
Xiao Er looked embarrassed: "I really don't know. As you know, we in the same business are rivals. We see each other all the time and are very familiar with each other. We're always on guard against each other like thieves!"
Chu Shen joked: "But there's a saying that goes, 'Your enemy is the one who knows you best.' Don't you have any idea about the situation in other inns?"
Xiao Er became even more embarrassed and looked around before whispering, "I do have some idea, but I'm busy today, so I'm not really sure. But judging from the occupancy rate here, there probably aren't many vacant rooms in other inns either."
Chu Shen didn't doubt it either. After all, today's ranking battles were too intense, and many people wouldn't be able to make it back to their own accommodations. They would have to find a place to rest in the market: "Alright then, I'll go look for another place to stay."
Xiao Er apologized awkwardly and then remembered something, winking at Chu Shen: "By the way, sir, if you really can't find a place to stay, you can consider places like Hongxiu Zhao. It's a red dust dojo protected by the Double Cultivation Great Sect, similar to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion in the cultivation world. Many of the girls there are disciples from various Double Cultivation sects, and there are also some wandering cultivators or disciples from non-Double Cultivation sects who mix in for various reasons."
However, the Qinlou and Chuguan in the cultivation world are ultimately different from the mortal world. It is not entirely accurate to summarize them as just flesh trade.
"You, did you receive commissions from these places?" Chu Shen laughed.
The innkeeper shrugged, "There are definitely commissions, but these places can also be options for guests. I just mentioned it casually."
Chu Shen waved his hand, "Thanks then."
He had been to these places before. When he was in Nanping City, he had experienced the atmosphere of the brothels. In places like Chongxueji, he had also visited similar establishments.
However, these places didn't leave much of an impression on him. Perhaps it was because the wild flowers had been tainted by too many different dewdrops, making him subconsciously reluctant to get too involved, thus missing out on a lot of fun.
After searching around and not finding any available rooms in the inns, and not wanting to sleep on the streets, he ended up going to the largest establishment.
It was called Hongxiu Zhao.
Seeing the luxurious Huan Shui Xiu Lou, he at least felt that the guest rooms in such a luxurious place should be quite good for sleeping...
Bai Ying was taken by the servants of Hongxiu Zhao to the stables specially arranged for exotic beasts, while Chu Shen himself strolled into the area where men and women were enjoying themselves.
The hall was lively, with singing and dancing, men and women teasing each other. It was not much different from the brothels in the mortal society, except that it was filled with cultivators instead. In addition to some explicit conversations that would make people blush, surprisingly, there were also many discussions about cultivation experiences, which could be considered a characteristic of the cultivation world.
A middle-aged female cultivator, commonly known as the "madam" in the profession, approached Chu Shen and looked him up and down, seemingly lost in thought. "Although Fellow Daoist is not a regular customer of our Hongxiu Zhao, you do look familiar."
The passing cultivators next to him recognized Chu Shen and laughed, "Master Wang, this person looks familiar to you, he is the newly rising genius, who participated in the qualifying battle today.
In the cultivation world, the Qin Building and the Chu Mansion are still commonly referred to as they were among cultivators.
Master Wang slapped her forehead, "Yes, yes, yes, I remember now. Chu Shen, the pride of Chu, I didn't expect him to come to our place. It really brings glory to our Red Sleeve Recruitment. Please come in quickly. Do you have any familiar girls with you? If not, I will immediately have the girls come down and let Chu Shen choose."
Chu Shen said, "Master Wang, there's no need to go through so much trouble. The inns outside are all full, and I couldn't find a place to stay, so I came here to borrow a place to stay for one night."
Master Wang immediately rolled her eyes and said, "Chu Shen, let me tell you, this is the Red Sleeve Recruitment, not the Red Sleeve Inn. If you come to our 5.5 place, how can you not have a girl accompanying you? Are you disrespecting our Red Sleeve Recruitment or the people in our Red Sleeve Recruitment?"
Chu Shen smiled bitterly and said, "I won't be short of money, I can pay double, how about that?"
Master Wang clicked her tongue and said to him, "This is not about money. If we're talking about money, would our Red Sleeve Recruitment's girls be short of it? This is about rules, it's the professional standard of our Red Sleeve Recruitment, it's the cultivation ground for dual cultivation between the major dual cultivation sects and disciples. Chu Shen, since you have entered the door of our Red Sleeve Recruitment, you should abide by some principles, right?"
Chu Shen also wanted to roll his eyes. Is it unreasonable to not look for girls? Oh, right, it seems like it is unreasonable...
"Wait, Chu Shen, you don't have the same thoughts as those mortals, thinking that our Red Sleeve Recruitment's girls... are dirty?" Master Wang's eyes sharpened, and there was a hint of killing intent in her voice.
