Chapter 164

Xu Qi ‘an took a sip of wine and put down the glass. She looked at the beauties and said in a free and easy tone, “”That day, I accompanied Princess huaiqing to attend a banquet. I had a feeling, so I wrote this half of the seven characters.”
His tone was relaxed and forthright, as if this was just a trivial matter, but the courtesans were moved by his words.
It was him … Aya’s guess had been confirmed, and she felt as if everything had come to pass.
It had been a long time since Princess huaiqing had a poem. It was abnormal for her to suddenly have a good piece of work.
However, when he heard the news, he couldn’t connect it to Xu Qi ‘an. When she heard what he said just now, she thought of his identity as a night watchman, as well as his extraordinary poetic talent, so she boldly tested him. She didn’t expect that she would really guess correctly.
The Academy still didn’t know who the poem came from, but there were countless curious people outside. Just this news alone was a gimmick.
“Mr. Xu …” Fu Xiang’s affectionate gaze and charming eyes were more attractive than any sweet words to someone who loved poetry.
The other courtesans were not only amazed by Xu Qi ‘an’s talent in poetry, but also by something else that moved them, something that went beyond the poetry itself.
…. He was actually able to enter the Imperial City and attend the banquet of the princes and princesses.
This meant that Xu Qi ‘an was the confidant of a certain prince or princess, otherwise he would not have been taken to the banquet. In this way, his value was not only in poetry.
He was quite handsome, a night watchman, and had power … Of course, the courtesans were used to seeing high-ranking officials and nobles. This little bit of power was nothing to the night watchman, but what if this night watchman had the talent of a scholar? what if this night watchman was valued by some prince or princess?
With all these halos added together, it was much more attractive than being a concubine of an old man.
‘I can’t let Fu Xiang get away with it, I have to snatch him over …’ Now, Fu Xiang is already the number one courtesan of the Imperial Academy. If she gets another poem, we sisters will never be able to stand out again …”
Thinking of this, the courtesans ‘smiles became more sincere. Each of them had something to say, but they were still hesitant. They looked at Xu Qi’ an with deep affection.
The atmosphere in the reception hall instantly heated up.
After the drinking game ended, under the influence of the alcohol, the courtesans boldly played finger-guessing games. Each of them rolled up their sleeves, revealing their fair and slender arms and delicate fists.
The main reason was that Xu Qi ‘an didn’t mind, which gave them the courage.
…..
The sky gradually darkened, and more and more guests came to the Imperial Academy. Then, he noticed a very strange thing.
Today, many of the top courtesans had closed their doors and refused to have any guests.
Some people went to the brothel Madame indignantly. The old woman thought to herself,”are these grandaunt rebelling? how can they earn money if they don’t open a store?”
After asking around, he found out that all of the courtesans who had refused to pay their guests had gone to the Azure lake Court. There were a total of eight of them, which meant that the Azure lake Court had a total of nine courtesans.
“What’s going on?”
“From the sound … They seem to be very happy. Who are they entertaining?”
“How is that possible? which Big Shot would dare to do this during the investigation? Who would be stupid enough to personally give their weakness to the enemy?”
“Maybe they’re just playing around.”
what are you guessing? just go and ask.
A guest knocked on the door of the blue Pond court. Little Qing Yi, who was guarding the door, opened the door and was shocked by the scene in front of her.
At the entrance of azure lake Court, there were a dozen or so guests.
“What are the ladies doing inside?” A luxuriously dressed young man looked into the courtyard and asked in a deep voice.
“He’s entertaining a guest.” Little Qing Yi said.
There was a sudden silence at the entrance of the courtyard. After a few seconds, someone with a strange expression said, “”W-which Lord is inside …? If it’s not convenient to disclose, then forget it. ”
Little Qing Yi thought for a moment. The guest in the courtyard was young master Xu, not the Big Shot that the guests thought he was. He didn’t think there was anything to hide, so he said frankly, ”
“It’s not what you guys think, the guest inside is young master Xu.”
Young master Xu?
Everyone looked at each other and searched in their minds for a while, but they couldn’t find a person who could match it.
Were there any nobles or high officials with the surname Xu in this dynasty?
The young man who knocked on the door frowned and said, “”That young master Xu?”
“Xu Qi ‘an, the young master Xu Qi’ an who wrote about the incense.” The green-robed servant boy said. He had been rewarded with three coins of silver and was in a very good mood. This was all thanks to young master Xu, and he was happy to make his name known.
It was him?
At the scene, there were a few scholars whose eyes brightened.
“Let’s wait here, maybe we’ll be able to see a poem that’s passed down from generation to generation.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the people who were originally angry and jealous also suppressed their emotions. The people present were all people of status. Even the merchants had an artistically attached heart.
nine top courtesans serving him. How elegant is that? I don’t think any of the previous scholars have received such treatment.
“The top scholar would not dare to be so extravagant.”
……
“Ding ding ding …”
With a crisp sound, a few arrows without arrowheads accurately fell into the pot ten meters away.
With his eyes covered, Xu Qi ‘an turned around and took off the cloth. He laughed as he hugged Xiao Ya and Ming Yan, the two top courtesans, and gnawed on their faces.
After they were done, Xu Qi ‘an patted their butts. “If you agree to a bet, you must accept your loss. Let’s drink.”
The two courtesans twisted their waists, pouting and shouting “I hate you” while obediently raising their cups and drinking.
I’m not playing anymore. It’s too lonely to be invincible. Xu Qi ‘an pushed the two courtesans away. ladies, wait here. I’m going out for a while. I’ll come back and fight you for 300 rounds.
He touched his stomach, indicating that he needed to go to the toilet.
A group of courtesans shouted from behind,”Sir, hurry up and come back!”
After leaving the house and closing the door, the cold wind blew against Xu Qi ‘an’s face. Xu Qi’ an restrained her exaggerated expression and gently exhaled.
He looked around and made sure that no one was paying attention to him. Then, he leaped onto the wall, tore off a page of the Qi observation technique, and ignited it with his Qi.
Weng~
He looked up at the sky, two clear lights in his eyes cut through the night sky, and then converged, the clear light contained in his pupils.
Xu Qi ‘an had another purpose in coming to the Academy Square, which was to observe the fate energy here at a close distance and search for demonic aura.
Heng Hui had already appeared and had killed twice in the inner city. He didn’t believe that there weren’t any monsters hiding in the city.
Heng Hui is clearly the demon race’s knife. They’re using him to achieve some goal. The demon race took great pains to release the sealed artifact, so they definitely won’t let Heng Hui do whatever he wants … If it was me, I would definitely keep an eye on Heng Hui … Last time, I observed demonic Qi at the Academy’s workshop. If it was just an accident, then it would have been fine. If not, then it’s very likely that the Imperial Academy is one of the demon clan’s hidden strongholds.”
Clear Qi swirled in Xu Qi ‘an’s eyes as he slowly swept through every corner of the Academy Square. He saw all kinds of fate energy, but he didn’t find anything unusual.
In the end, he turned his gaze to the nearby Azure pond court, to The Wine House where the courtesans were.
A wisp of jade-green demonic Qi curled and curled up like green smoke.
?….. Xu Qi ‘an almost couldn’t help but curse. Suddenly, her heart turned cold, and her back broke out in a cold sweat.
The demons were in the house?
And you were drinking with me just now?
He felt like a horror story where the protagonist stayed in the mountains and was warmly received, only to wake up the next day to find himself in a barren Cemetery.
“Which demon is …? Someone among the top courtesans, or a maidservant? Anyway, it can’t be Fu Xiang. I’ve slept with her so many times. She can’t be a demon … And I’ve already seen her when I was observing the demonic aura the other day.”
Xu Qi ‘an silently jumped off the wall and crept closer to The Wine House. The door of The Wine House was not closed, so he looked inside through the crack.
He saw a woman exuding a dark green demonic aura. It was not one of the courtesans, but courtesan Ming Yan’s personal maidservant.
It was her … Xu Qi ‘an immediately started to make connections. Why didn’t he notice the demonic aura when he was observing it with song tingfeng and the others?
Did he use some method to shield the demonic aura … What was her purpose in lurking around Ming Yan … Well, Ming Yan might not be innocent. He might be an accomplice of the demon race … Thinking about it this way, the reason why she sent someone to invite me as soon as I entered the Imperial Academy Division wasn’t as simple as currying favor with me.
Xu Qi ‘an immediately made a decision. He once again climbed over the wall and left the blue Pond court, heading straight for the small courtyard where song tingfeng was.
When he was observing with his Qi observation technique, he had noted down song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao’s positions.
The sounds in the room suddenly stopped, and song tingfeng’s vigilant voice came next, “”Who is it?”
“It’s me,” he said. come out! Xu Qi ‘an knocked on the door. it’s urgent.
Song tingfeng cursed, ” dirty. following that, there was the sound of clothes being put on. After a while, he opened the door and walked out in disheveled clothes.
“Old song, return to the Yamen immediately and inform Jin Luo on duty. Have him come to the teaching workshop personally and tell him that there are demons in the Azure pool court.”
Xu Qi ‘an kept the long story short. remember, you must get Jin Luo to come over. I don’t know much about Qi observation, so I can’t gauge the other party’s strength. There were nine top courtesans in the Azure lake Court, but they were all sheep and had no ability to protect themselves. By the way, if the one on duty is surnamed Zhu, you can change your course and go to the Directorate of Celestials to find Song Qing.”
He didn’t say anything else. He believed that as long as song tingfeng told him the truth, Jin Luo would know what to do with his rich experience.
Song tingfeng’s face became more and more serious. The dissatisfaction and anger he had just now disappeared. He went back to the house to get his saber and Gong. He tied his magic weapons and rushed out of the yard.
Xu Qi ‘an quickly returned to the blue Pond court, a frivolous smile on his face. He pushed the door open and smiled.
“Beauties, I’m back.”
He only glanced at the demoness who was submissively pouring wine for his wife out of the corner of his eye and immediately looked away.
Xu Qi ‘an didn’t dare to make a move without knowing the other party’s strength. Letting the other party escape was secondary. He didn’t want to see the innocent courtesan hurt.
Next, he would eat, drink, and touch whatever he needed to touch.
Xu Qi ‘an and the courtesans played drinking games, drinking games, and rolling dice. They were having a great time.
It was clear whose buttocks were rounder and whose waists were slimmer.
However, Xu Qi ‘an was not happy. Instead, he was anxious. He waited for an hour, but song tingfeng had not returned.
At this time, the female demon raised her head, looked at Xu Qi ‘an, and said softly, ” it’s late at night. Ladies, you should go back early. Will Young master Xu be staying with my ladies tonight? ”
