Insufficient balance

  On the street, pedestrians were crowded, donkeys couldn't squeeze through, so Yi Han had to get off, and people and donkeys worked together.

  Standing tall on the street, a pair of eyes that seemed drunk and awake at the same time never left the passing young ladies. Since he was eleven years old, today he felt that kind of excitement again. The delicate skin as white as snow, the slender waist that couldn't withstand being grasped, the beautiful and elegant eyes, the charming and lovely demeanor, the enchanting and seductive limbs... every key point didn't escape his eyes. It's deadly, his spirit suddenly became invigorated, but he didn't forget to wipe his nose with his hand, fortunately, it wasn't wet.

  Suddenly his eyes gleamed with a sharp light, as if he had seen through the clothes of these women. He snorted, "Seduce women? He had been a good man for many years."

  In the bustling city center, I found an inn and took a look at the signboard. It was called "Guangyuelou", which sounded quite elegant, but I didn't know what it would be like inside.

  Just arrived at the entrance, but was stopped by the shopkeeper at the door, "Country bumpkin, go away, go away, Master is busy and has no time to entertain you. This is Guan Yue Lou, ordinary people can't afford it."

  Yi Han didn't get angry, and calmly took out a silver ingot from his bag and handed it to the shopkeeper, saying politely: "Shopkeeper, I don't know if I can go in now."

  The shopkeeper's eyes lit up as soon as he saw the silver, and his expression changed instantly. He bowed respectfully and said, "Sir, please come in, forgive me for my poor eyesight."

  Money is a good thing. He ordered: "Little two, help me tie up this donkey and get some good fodder for it. I still need to rely on it for transportation."

  "Yes, yes, yes, sir, rest assured, I guarantee you'll be satisfied, please come inside first", the shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, rich people don't show off, a small donkey as a mount, indeed with an extraordinary taste, the shopkeeper accepted Yi Han's reward money and secretly praised him.

  Entering the inn, I found a quiet spot to sit down. At this moment, the store is crowded with people and business is booming. From time to time, rich young masters ride in horse-drawn carriages with their servants. Taking a closer look at the people inside the hall, most of them are scholars or young masters, but there are also some roughly dressed and rough-mannered rivers and lakes men, who only account for a very small part of the total number.

  Ordered some wine and dishes, slowly enjoying them, suddenly heard a table closer to him, several young men dressed in luxurious clothes were discussing, seemingly talking about Qinhuai Lantern Festival, and something called Qinhuai Top Ten Beauties.

  Qinhuai Lantern Festival!

  Qinhuai's Top Ten Beauties!

  Yi Han's ears perked up at these words.

  After listening for a while, I understood what was going on. The Qinhuai pleasure boats and the courtesans of the green buildings were truly a wonderful scene.

  He beckoned him over and the shop assistant hurried over with a respectful expression, "What can I do for you, sir?"

  "Hey Xiao Er, when will the Qinhuai Lantern Festival start?" Yi Hanman asked casually.

  The shopkeeper smiled obsequiously and said, "Young master, so you're here to attend the Qinhuai Lantern Festival?" The shopkeeper changed his address from "master" to "young master", which was more elegant for those romantic affairs.

  Yi Han nodded, "You still haven't answered my question, when will the Qinhuai Flower Festival begin?" This was his main concern. Whatever titles like "young master", "pervert", or "bastard" were just names to him, he didn't care about them, and having heard them many times before, they had become numb to his ears.

  "Tomorrow, the Lantern Festival will begin", said the shopkeeper with a glance from head to toe at Yi Han, shaking his head lightly: "Young master, if you want to attend that Qinhuai Flower Festival, you'd better change your clothes before going".

  "Why?" In fact, he still thought this dress was quite distinctive. Er Niu Zi relied on this outfit to snatch Xiao Dan's heart from him.

  "There's a beautiful shirt that can bring out the young master's elegant and refined appearance, making him look like a talented and handsome man. It's also good for catching the attention of those courtesan girls, inviting them to his chambers, and spending a romantic night together." By the end, the shop assistant lowered his voice more and more, with a knowing smile on his face.

  With a faint smile, "Well done, little second, you really know a lot. How do you think the Qinhuai ten beauties are?" A piece of broken silver was handed over.

  The shopkeeper's face lit up with joy, and he respectfully said to Yi Han: "These ten beauties of Qinhuai are all proficient in poetry, music, chess, calligraphy, painting, acrobatics, and dance. Each one is a stunning beauty, unfortunately I won't be able to attend." The shopkeeper's face showed a look of regret as he finished speaking.

  Yi Han paid a smile, this is the common disease of all men, the more you can't see, the more you can't get, the more it makes people have endless fantasies. "Others have gone, why can't you go?"

  The shopkeeper let out a deep sigh, "Wanting to see the Qinhuai Top Ten Beauties is no easy matter, any one of them costs at least 100 taels for an overnight stay. I've been saving up for three years and with what you just gave me, I only have 85 taels now. Do you think I can afford it?"

  The shopkeeper looked disheartened, and Yi Han comforted him, "Don't be discouraged, at this speed, you'll have enough in another year."

  The young shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood Yi Han's meaning and said: "Young master, I won't spend money on those courtesans. I'm saving up to marry a wife and enjoy life with her."

  Yi Han couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Little Er, you're quite clever, knowing how to get a lifelong benefit with one effort."

  The young shopkeeper saw Yi Han praise him and smiled complacently, saying: "Yes, many people think I'm clever."

  The young shopkeeper was praised by Yi Han, and he introduced with a smile: "These ten beauties are all the top stars of various art academies, each one is an absolute beauty, but it's not easy to see them. Many talented scholars flock to Jinling just to catch a glimpse of their elegance."

  Yi Han smiled and asked: "You have never seen how to know each absolute color fragrance".

  The young shopkeeper said, "Young master, your words are wrong. I haven't seen it before, but that doesn't mean others haven't seen it. The land of Jiangnan has been producing beautiful women since ancient times. To be the most outstanding among many beauties is not an ordinary appearance."

  Yi Han nodded, this Jinling lantern festival was his chance to show off, but would the women in this big city be like those in that small mountain village, bashfully ordering the shop boy to arrange a room for themselves upstairs.

  At this time, a loud voice said: "Little second, prepare a room for me." It was a tall and strong man with a scar on his face, looking fierce and not easy to mess with.

  The shopkeeper smiled apologetically: "I'm really sorry, sir. The last room we had left was just booked by this young master." He pointed at Yi Han.

  That big fellow loudly shouted: "What's going on, who dares to fight with me for the room? Do you know who I am?" The scar-faced man stared fiercely at Yi Han.

  It seems this big fellow wants to fight him, but he's no good at fighting men, he only fights women.

  Yi Han's expression remained unchanged, but he ignored the scar-faced man. He lazily told the shopkeeper, "Take me to my room, I want to rest."

  The big man was furious and threatened, "Little two, if you dare to take him away, I'll break your legs first." Then he turned his head and glared at Yi Han, "You little boy, don't you know better? Aren't you afraid that I'll tear you into pieces?" As he spoke, he clenched his fists with a cracking sound.

  The shopkeeper was at a loss for what to do, one was Old Man Qian and the other was the evil Old Man Ye, offending either of them would not be a good idea.

  Yi Han smiled leisurely and raised his legs, saying: "Big blockhead, originally this room was booked by me, why do you want to be unreasonable? Are you not afraid of retribution?"

  The great Han saw Yi Han being so indifferent to him, and in a rage, he said: "You little brat, you're looking for death, dare to lecture me!"

  Just as the big man was about to take action, he only knew how to grab the dragon's claw hand. "Hold on," Yi Han raised his hand, and the big man was stunned. "Why do you want to say your last words?"

  "What I want to say is, let's not resort to violence, but rather reason with each other," he said, though in fact he was the most unreasonable person in the village.

  The big Han coldly smiled and said, "You want to talk reason? That's fine. But first, let me ask you about this big knife in my hand. If you have the ability, go ahead and try to reason with it." As soon as he finished speaking, he heavily slammed the approximately 30-jin heavy large knife onto the table, causing the sturdy wooden table to suddenly develop a crack.

  Suddenly a cold voice came, "Then let me try your reasoning," said a young noble with a clear and elegant appearance, his face as beautiful as jade, wearing white clothes.

  The big Han bull's eyes widened and stared at the man in white, angrily saying: "You young fellow, you're also getting impatient with your idle life, daring to interfere with other people's business".

  The man in white clothes was cold and arrogant, saying lightly: "Really, I especially hate people like you, especially those who bully the weak."

  This remark is unpleasant to hear. What's the point of bullying a good-for-nothing? Wouldn't that make him a good-for-nothing too? With a serious tone, he said to the man in white: "Young master, your words are wrong. A gentleman uses his mouth but not his fists; those who use their fists are no gentlemen."

  The two of them stared coldly at each other, completely treating Yi Han as if he were transparent.

  The big Han shouted loudly, made a move with his hand, but the man in white clothes took a step ahead, lightly tapped on the heavy knife of thirty kilograms, and when the big Han grasped the hilt, the blade had already turned into fragments. The big Han was shocked, realizing that he had met an expert among experts today, and this kind of skill might not even be achieved by his own master. What was the origin of this man who could achieve it so easily? Suddenly, he became flustered and lost color.

  Yi Han was also shocked. There are actually people in the world with such high skills. It seems that this trip really didn't come in vain, at least it opened his eyes.

  Dahan's forehead was sweating profusely, this person could take his life as easily as turning over his hand.

  The man in white clothes made his move again, and without seeing any big movements in his hands, the big fellow let out a loud cry of pain, covering his nose and wailing. His head was still clear enough to know to escape, and Yi Han watched as the big fellow fled in panic, sighing, "I told you there would be retribution, but you didn't believe it."

  Yi Han was about to go over and thank the man in white, but he didn't even give him a glance, and returned to his own seat.

  Yi Han was taken aback, such a cool person must be hired as a bodyguard, no matter how much money it takes.

  He walked up to the man in white, slapped his hand on the table, and a 100-tael silver note appeared on the table. Seeing that the man in white didn't flinch, he slapped again and shouted: "500 taels!"

  Upstairs, there were two beautifully dressed young men with faces as white as jade, admiring the scene. One of them was exceptionally handsome, but his body was slightly weak and delicate, with features that were too pretty.

  That charming and overbearing young master was now smiling as he watched the scene, saying: "Swordswoman, if it were you, could you have done this?"

  The beautiful young man known as the Sword Maiden said calmly: "It's possible, but I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

  That charming young man smiled and said: "You mean that person is even more formidable than you?"

  Jian Nu Dao said: "I dare not be certain, I make my living by the sword, with Qi controlling the sword. This must be tried to know for sure. However, if my master takes action, he will definitely be able to subdue this person."

  The charming young master smiled and said, "He's just a young man, not worthy of her old self taking action, but this person has an aura that captivates people, I'm quite interested, I wonder if he can be used by me."

  The swordswoman said: "Reporting to Miss..." Before she could finish, she was given a cold stare by the charming young man. The swordswoman hastily changed her words and said: "Young Master, I couldn't see through her depth."

  The charming young man smiled and said: "How interesting! I've never had so much fun on my first trip to Jinling, and now I meet someone as interesting as you."

  The swordswoman said: "Young master, could it be that you want......"

  The charming young master smiled lightly and said, "Where did you think of going? I just wanted to take him in as my subordinate and use him for myself. However, looking at this person's proud and arrogant heart, it's probably not easy."

  "Come on, let's go ask him to have a drink with us."

  The swordswoman said with a bow: "Young master is waiting in the elegant room, I'll go invite them".

  The elegant young master waved his folding fan in his hand and said calmly, "He is no ordinary person, it's better for me to go invite him personally."

  Two handsome young men walked down the stairs, and as soon as they appeared, they immediately caught everyone's attention in the hall. They were elegant and refined, with a beauty like jade, especially one of them, whose skin was whiter than water and features more delicate than white clouds.

  Two men walked to the side of the white-clothed man's seat, and the charming young master smiled at the white-clothed man: "I am Ning Xiang, this is my family's Ning Jian. Just now, I saw that your demeanor was extraordinary, and I admired you greatly. I came especially to invite you to go upstairs and have a drink with me." He completely ignored Yi Han beside him.

  Yi Han's face was displeased. He had never been ignored by anyone before. These three people completely didn't put him in their eyes, and they didn't even glance at him.

  The man in white clothes didn't even turn his head and coldly said "I'm not going", then ignored him.

  Ning Xiang felt a bit surprised and smiled faintly, but Ning Jian beside him looked at the man coldly due to his rudeness, with a hint of murderous intent.

  The man in white suddenly felt something and glanced at Ning Jian with a faint gaze, his expression as calm as water, seemingly unaware.

  Yi Han smiled and said, "You two, this bodyguard is the one I just hired. See that silver note on the table? Five hundred taels. No choice, we're just rich and arrogant."

  Ning Xiang made a gesture with his eyes towards Ning Jian, who was standing beside him.

  Ning Jian pulled out a silver note and placed it on the table, with three large characters on it: 10,000 taels! This made Yi Han take a deep breath, and he was suddenly speechless.

  Yi Han smiled slightly and said, "Let's not compare wealth since you're a rich person. Let's compare feelings instead."

  Affectionately sitting next to the man in white clothes, one hand stretched out and was about to put his arm around the shoulder of the man in white clothes.

  "Get out!" The cold voice shook his eardrums and he fell off the chair.
