I Can See Your Combat Power-Chapter 726 - Twenty: Goodbye and Reunion
Chapter 726: Chapter Twenty: Goodbye and Reunion
Men generally lascivious, with beauty in front of them, many could discard even their parents and brothers leading.
Even the talented young men in martial arts, they may be decisive in front of their enemies, but among beautiful women, they are just young men.
.
A courtesan may not be the most beautiful, but she will be the most skillful, and what is her skill other than pleasing men?
Even surrounded by beautiful women, Cui Haoran, the experienced man, remains clear-headed. However, the other young men are already infatuated and consumed by desire, itching to have their way with the women.
Wouldn’t they have already retreated to their rooms with their women if it wasn’t for Tang Luo, who was drinking by the windowside? Mere fondling couldn’t satisfy their lust.
“Cough.” Li Xuanba cleared his throat, and said to the courtesan in the yellow dress: “I never thought your story would be so grim. When I was a young lad, I made sure to remember the layout of each city and county in Longzhou. We can find somewhere quiet, and perhaps I can help you find your hometown.”
“Really?” The busty courtesan’s face lit up joyfully. She said coyly: “Then thank you, sir.”
“No need for thanks!”, the upright Li Xuanba waved her off. “Helping those in need is the way of the warrior. I can’t allow someone to have nowhere to call home. It’s my duty!”
The righteous Li Xuanba then asked the others: “Captain, it’s too noisy here. I want to help the courtesan find a place with a map so that she can remember her hometown.”
No one said a word when he finished speaking. The maids in the room couldn’t help but cover their mouths and giggle while others were taken aback that the honest and straightforward Li Xuanba would come up with such an excuse, shaking their belief of the saying ‘do not judge a book by its cover’.
However, a good captain sees through deceit but does not divulge it. So, Tang Luo motioned him and said, “Very well then, take the young lady to some quiet spot to recall in detail. We are not in a hurry.”
Li Xuanba was overjoyed. He had not expected his hastily made-up excuse to work that well, so suppressing his joy, he said earnestly to the courtesan in a purple dress, “Ziwei, come as well as help me grind the ink.”
His comrades were dumbfounded as they watched the rugged warrior pretending to be a scholar. They had only one thought on their mind: Is this even possible?
The righteous Li Xuanba, with courtesans at his side, took his leave, yet also showed his comrades a possible way out.
“Oh? You like calligraphy and painting, miss?” Xiao Ziyu asked with a dignified face, “I was under the tutelage of a famous calligrapher. Maybe we can have a chat?”
“You are amazing, sir,” the courtesan in the red dress praised him. She pleaded with Xiao Ziyu, “I have been longing to learn calligraphy and painting but lack the knowledge and skills. The autographs I have collected over the years, I don’t know if they are genuine or fake. Could you please decipher them for me?”
“That’s not a problem at all. I am familiar with various schools of calligraphy and painting. I can tell the difference between a genuine piece and a reproduction just by glancing at it. ” Xiao Ziyu got up and said loudly, “Please lead the way. I can’t wait to see your collection.”
Watching Xiao Ziyu’s anxious demeanor, the courtesan with the graceful figure got up, ran her slender fingers across his chest, and provocatively said, “Sir, this way please.” ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Three of them had already found an excuse and left. Only the teenager was left in the room, getting anxious and almost crying.
However, his elder brother’s presence was too intimidating. The bright young talent did not have the same thick skin as the other three, so he could only eat and drink one cup at a time.
But how could his inner restlessness be hidden from the understanding elder sister?
The ability to read one’s mind was the reason that Feng Lady, the pillar of the Spring Fragrance Pavilion, still remained as one of the top courtesans at the ripe age of twenty-seven or twenty-eight.
From the moment she entered the room, she realized that even though the young man by the window never spoke a word, he was the unspoken leader among the young men. He seemed to be the youngest, but he was unexpectedly the leader of the group.
The handsome boy who chose her and the man by the window resembled each other very much. It was clear that they must be brothers, and close relatives at that.
Maybe the other young men could find random excuses to leave, but her dear little boy could not follow suit. He tried to speak several times, but each time when his eyes met the young man by the window, he backed down. Feng Lady’s heart ached for him.
She poured more wine for the boy and leaned in to whisper softly in his ear, “An uncommon master has come to the West Tower and he performs some magic tricks like cutting off hands and decapitating heads. I’d like to watch, but I’m a bit scared. Would you accompany me?”
Faced with this seemingly mature yet soft plea, a surge of courage welled up in the lad’s heart. He finally raised his head and said to his elder brother, “Brother, I’m taking Feng Lady to watch an unusual performance in the West Tower. I’ll be back soon!”
Standing by the window, Tang Luo turned his head with an amused smile, looked at the courtesan, then at his silly brother, and waved him away.
Now only the serving maids remained in the luxurious private room. The uninterested Tang Luo left watching the dance and went back to his table.
Not that the dance performance in Spring Fragrance Pavilion was bad. However, he had found the Korean girl group’s bold dancing style exciting. Now he was no longer able to appreciate the dance performances filled with subtle charm and grace.
More importantly, his state of heightened awareness, thanks to his martial arts training, had numbed him to the seductive dancing meant to showcase the dancer’s charm. He found it in no way exciting.
Fortunately, the food and drinks at Spring Fragrance Pavilion were outstanding, with an assortment of high-quality Spiritual Food and aged wines on the table. It was a feast for the senses.
Just have a good meal, Tang Luo consoled himself while eating heartily.
When Tang Luo entered a state of deep concentration, he suppressed his sixth sense. After breaking through the Fierce Realm, the Undying Battle Body’s enhancement to his physical form had increased.
However, this also caused some inconvenience for him. After all, too acute a sixth sense was more like torment, with countless pieces of information constantly bombarding his brain. Even with the increased intellectual capacity provided by the soul, he often felt overwhelmed.
To address this issue, Tang Luo created a set of techniques to suppress his sixth sense, allowing him to concentrate and ponder without the distractions of the outside world.
After mastering this technique, his sixth sense was mostly suppressed to a level only slightly stronger than an ordinary warrior. This significantly reduced the load on his brain.
