Chapter Twenty-Two: The Flower Crown

  Those two black shadows stood far away, obviously not on the same path. Ling Jing's eyes narrowed slightly as he thought to himself that a top-notch expert would certainly not stoop to following them, a few junior disciples. It was likely that these two people were some second-generation disciples of the Jianghu, and their strength probably wouldn't be too great.

  He had an idea and immediately opened up his body method and rushed forward.

  In an instant, he had approached the black figure on the right, who clearly hesitated for a moment before raising his sword to meet him.

  "Clang!"

  Under the hazy moonlight, two flashes of silver light collided, and Ling Jing's wrist moved, the second form of Fast Sword already in his hand.

  In the collision of the first move, he clearly felt that the person opposite him was not as powerful as himself. At this moment, he had an injury on his body and did not dare to exert his full strength. The sword just now only used six tenths of his real power, but even so, the man was still forced to retreat a step under this sword.

  He was very calm in his heart, and even if there was another person lurking beside him now, he had no fear at all. "Quick Sword Thirteen Styles" one sword after another, the person opposite him could not hold on for long, only four or five moves later, barely blocking Ling Jing's one sword, turned around and escaped.

  But Ling Jing wouldn't let him escape under his own eyes, a killing move was made, and one sword stabbed towards his lower back. The man suddenly turned around to block the attack in mid-air, but Ling Jing's sword move had five follow-up moves, which was truly an advanced sword technique. He saw his arm lift up, changing the stab to a sweep, in the darkness, a cold gleam flashed by, this one sword was simply at its peak speed, just one sword, and it tore through the man's carotid artery.

  After one sword move, Ling Jing held his sword and lightly jumped back. The man clutched at his neck and struggled for a few moments before falling to the ground.

  From the swordsmanship of this person just now, he has already guessed the origin of this person. This person is using the "Songfeng Swordsmanship" of Qingcheng Sect, but the fire is not enough, and the internal force is only fifth-grade. Even if he only used six out of ten of his real strength, this person would not have lasted six moves in his hands.

  However, he didn't find it strange that this person was following him. After all, he had killed Yu Canghai's proud disciple Luo Renjie. If Yu Canghai wasn't paying attention to him, he would feel even more uneasy.

  At this time, a faint sound of breaking through the air came from behind him. He knew that another person was approaching, so he leaned on his sword and turned around, concentrating on waiting for that person.

  But the black shadow stopped in its tracks when it was still four or five zhang away from him. In the dim light of night, Ling Jing couldn't see the other person's face clearly and could only secretly guess what trick this person wanted to use.

  The black figure suddenly clasped his hands together and said, "The one in front is the senior brother of the Five Peaks Sect, I am He Shan Yi Guang, a nun. I have come to find my junior sister Yi Lin under the order of our master."

  Ling Jing laughed and sheathed his long sword, saying: "So it's a senior sister from the Hengshan Sect. I'm Ling Jing, a junior brother of Huashan. But if you're looking for Yi Lin senior sister, I'm afraid you've come to the wrong place. This is a famous pleasure quarter in Hengyang City, what would Yi Lin senior sister be doing here?"

  Na Yi hesitated for a moment before saying, "Thank you, Ling Shidi, for reminding me. However, I've been following Yi Lin Shimei all the way here, and this place doesn't seem to be a good one. I'm afraid something might happen to Yi Lin Shimei. If you see her, please tell her to hurry back to Liu Fu and meet up with us."

  Ling Jing secretly wiped away a cold sweat, if Yu Canghai knew that the few of them had come to this brothel, it wouldn't be anything out of the ordinary, after all he was someone who had been expelled by the Five Mountains Sword Sect.

  But if Ding Yitian finds out, it will be even more disastrous. Yilin is her disciple after all, and going back to receive punishment is a certainty. If she reports to Yue Buqun again, then she'll be finished.

  He knew that the Five Mountains Sword Sect was very strict, especially for second-generation disciples who had to abide by the rules of the sect. Every word and action had to be careful, if Yue Buqun found out he came to the brothel, then his own rhythm would be like going over the cliff.

  At this time, he chuckled and said: "Definitely definitely, just please don't tell others that you saw me here, anyway... haha, Master Sister should understand."

  Yi Guang smiled and said: "Don't worry, Young Master Ling. I won't say anything more. Then I'll take my leave."

  Ling Jing slightly bowed his head to her, and after seeing her off, he finally let out a sigh of relief. In his heart, he thought that this prestigious family was too rigid with rules, even visiting a brothel had to be done secretly. Damn it, Tian Boguang was indeed more carefree, but who knows if his kidneys were still okay?

  He had sent away the people from Qingcheng Sect and Yiguan, but he didn't want to go back to that house again. Linghu Chong was being taken care of by Yilin, so even if he went, it would be useless. Moreover, deep down, he really didn't want to see Linghu Chong again. At this moment, his gaze fell on the grand hall in the front yard of Qunyu Garden, which was located in the north direction. It was currently a time of music and dance, with bright lights everywhere. He had an idea, so he used his lightness skill and rushed over there.

  After a moment, Ling Jing had found a corner in the main hall to sit down. After all, he was also a disciple of a prestigious sect, and if he were to sit openly in the middle, it would be quite inappropriate if someone recognized him.

  At this time, another servant brought up wine and dishes. He then drank while curiously looking around, after all, this was his first time visiting a brothel. Damn it, what a memorable day!

  The hall is very spacious, with two flights of stairs leading up to the main entrance. Downstairs are many wine guests, while upstairs there is a small stage where a group of charming women in thin shirts are singing and dancing.

  Apart from this, there are many elegant rooms on the second floor. **The sound of romping never stops, no need to think, Ling Jing also knows what's going on inside.

  He watched the song and dance for a while, but soon felt a bit bored. After all, who comes to a brothel just to watch people dance? But he couldn't really call over a girl to keep him company either. Firstly, he had a cleanliness phobia, and secondly, even if he did find someone, there wouldn't be enough time for anything to happen. If things got out of hand, would he end up on top or on the bottom?

  Just as everyone was getting bored, the dancers on the second floor stage gradually withdrew. At this time, a middle-aged woman with a plump waist and heavy makeup walked up to the front, smiling coquettishly: "Gentlemen, do you know who is the most popular girl in our Qunyu Garden?"

  The people below suddenly made a noise and shouted in unison: "Linglong girl!"

  "Will Linglong girl perform tonight?"

  "I've been waiting for a month and finally Linglong girl came out."

  "Hurry up and let Linglong girl come out!"

  "Damn it, what's with the ink? Hurry up and let Linglong take the stage, or else I'll smash this crappy shop."

  ......

  Many wine guests were excited and flushed, like wolves seeing meat, and Ling Jing was surprised in her heart, thinking that she was just a prostitute, why was it so?

  The woman hastily smiled and said: "Don't worry, gentlemen, next is the invitation for the Flower Queen of the Group Jade Garden, Miss Linglong."

  After she finished speaking, the woman retreated, but the guests on the first and second floors were already impatient. Whistling and shouting continued incessantly, disturbing Ling Jing's ears with a buzzing sound.

  At this time, pink flower petals suddenly floated down from the air, and red silk ribbons floated out from all sides of the hall at the same time. The entire hall was dyed with a layer of gorgeous colors.

  A lithe figure suddenly leaped down from mid-air, only to see her grasping a ribbon, passing through a sea of flowers, and with a swaying movement, she slowly descended onto the stage with her back to the crowd.

  A moment later, the woman turned around, smiled back, and suddenly everything around her was quiet.

  All that could be seen was her red dress covering her body, with a slender neck made of white jade, half-concealing and half-revealing a delicate chest like frozen butter, a waist so slim it seemed to be only one grasp, a pair of long, smooth, and well-proportioned legs half-exposed, even the beautiful lotus feet were silently seducing, issuing an enticing invitation.

  The woman's attire was undoubtedly extremely gaudy, but this gaudiness seemed to pale in comparison with her demeanor.

  Her big eyes were full of smiles, charm and allure, shrouded in mist, with a hint of seduction, her small mouth slightly upturned, red lips slightly parted, as if inviting someone to take a closer look at her rich beauty. This was a woman who exuded an aura of seductiveness from every pore, seemingly always enticing men, stirring their nerves.

  P.S: Who is this woman? Haha, did you guess it?
