Chapter 16 A Woman Disguised as a Man Visits Secretly
Fan Xian and Fan Sizhe were talking to each other.

They all started to defend Li Chengyun.

Fan Sizhe continued:

"Sister, actually the boss is not as the rumors say. He is a very serious person."

"Zuixianju is not the brothel you imagined. There is no prostitution there."

As the two spoke, Fan Ruoruo's doubts gradually dissipated and she began to be half-believing and half-doubting.

Seeing that his sister's attitude had softened, Fan Sizhe struck while the iron was hot:
"Sister, do you know that the boss is extremely intelligent and knowledgeable? He is very elegant in his speech and behavior."

"He seems unruly, but he actually behaves in a unique way, and he takes good care of us little brothers!"

He continued to praise:

"The boss is not only talented, but also extremely charming! If he hadn't been to Zuixianju so often in the past few years, I'm afraid countless girls would have fallen in love with him!"

"The stories he sometimes tells me are no less interesting than the Dream of the Red Chamber written by Fan Xian. It's a pity that he is too lazy to publish a book, which is why those writers criticize him for being unlearned!"

After hearing this, Fan Ruoruo asked in confusion: "Really?"

Fan Sizhe nodded repeatedly and said confidently:
"Sister, how could I lie to you? I am not a stupid person. If the eldest brother does not have real talent and knowledge, how could I willingly follow him?"

After hearing this, Fan Ruoruo was still a little undecided, so she turned to Fan Xian who was standing beside her:

"Brother, what do you think?"

After a brief thought, Fan Xian nodded and said:
"What Sizhe said does make sense!"

"The Sixth Prince may seem unruly, but he is actually very secretive and as meticulous as a scheming mansion."

"His words, behavior, and insights into worldly affairs are beyond the reach of ordinary people."

……

Night falls.

The lights on the Liujing River are brilliant, like a dream.

Zuixianju was bustling with people and brightly lit, showing its prosperity.

As the most upscale brothel in Kyoto, Zuixianju can attract countless dignitaries and literati.

On the first and second floors, noises rose and fell, with the women's giggles and the guests' laughter blending into one.

However, amidst this bustle, the newly built third floor appears exceptionally peaceful and elegant.

In the private room on the third floor, there was a man sitting alone. It was the Sixth Prince Li Chengyun.

He was surrounded by screens, without a woman by his side, looking particularly lonely.

At this moment, Li Chengyun was concentrating on checking the system mirror.

On the mirror, the progress bar of the role-playing of 'Xu Fengnian' moved forward a little bit.

This small progress was the result of him personally teaching Guo Baokun a lesson today.

After conversion, it increased by 0.2, which is not much, but it is also a considerable gain.

However, more effort is needed to unlock the skill "Sword Nine Yellow".

Li Chengyun knew that at the current pace it would take at least two or three months.

Fan Xian has entered the capital, and a storm is about to arise.

Waiting for two or three months is like the withering of yellow flowers, which is no longer advisable.

Li Chengyun is well aware of his current situation. He must speed up and make things more heated.

Once he unlocks the legendary Sword Jiuhuang, he will be able to remain calm even when facing the majesty of Emperor Qing.

Recall the plot in the original book.

Guo Baokun was humiliated today, and tomorrow he will definitely make serious accusations against Fan Xian and Fan Sizhe in Kyoto Prefecture.

Li Chengyun was quite looking forward to this.

So he decided to go to Kyoto Prefecture tomorrow to find out.

He wants to see how the storm will evolve, while also looking for opportunities to advance the progress of the performance.

Li Chengyun no longer hesitated. He had already made plans for the overall situation, and as for the details, he would be able to deal with them accordingly.

What he had to do was to fully act out the actions of a dandy young man and reproduce Xu Fengnian's past deeds one by one, just to make further progress in his role-playing.

Li Chengyun stood up slowly.

He actually felt a little bit uncomfortable without the company of a beautiful woman today.

He walked to the railing, leaned against it and looked down, his eyes sliding like flowing water, he saw the dancers dancing gracefully, their postures were like fairies descending to the earth. He sighed softly, listening to the music in the brothel, this scene was truly a wonderful thing in the world.

Although Li Chengyun is not a man who indulges in women, all men have the instinct to appreciate beautiful things.

The graceful dancing postures of the dancers made him raise the corners of his mouth and reveal a smile.

Just as he was immersed in it, he suddenly heard the sound of faint footsteps coming from beside him.

Li Chengyun was confused.

He had clearly instructed the people at Zuixianju not to disturb him, so how come someone went upstairs without permission?

Moreover, the footsteps were very light and quiet, which was not like the style of people in a brothel.

Alarm bells rang in his mind. Could it be an assassin? !

Today he had a conflict with Guo Baokun and seriously injured him.

Could it be that Guo Youzhi wanted to avenge his son?
But on second thought, as the Minister of Rites, Guo Youzhi is in a high position and must weigh the pros and cons.

What's more, Guo Baokun did not die, so Guo Youzhi would not go crazy because of this.

That's the prince?
The prince seemed to be still brooding over what happened today. He was deeply dissatisfied because he had humiliated him, and seemed to have regarded Li Chengyun as his rival.

But after thinking about it carefully, the prince's position is now stable and he is waiting for others to catch up. Why should he take such a risky move and take risks? If the assassination of Li Chengyun fails, once the news is leaked, especially by the Second Prince's faction, the prince's position may be in jeopardy.

The prince has always been prudent in his external dealings, and his staff would certainly not resort to such a bad strategy.

Therefore, the mastermind behind this is unlikely to be the prince!
Who could it be then?

Li Chengyun pondered hard but was still confused.

Could it be that he was not an assassin, but a scoundrel intent on stealing?
Well, whether it was an assassin or a thief, Li Chengyun decided to find out for himself.

He possesses the strength of an eighth rank and is considered a master in the Qing Kingdom.

Even when facing a ninth-grade master, he could still escape unscathed.

It couldn't be that Emperor Qing or Ye Liuyun, these top masters, wanted to harm him, right? !

……

At the door.

A handsome man appeared quietly.

He was dressed in a blue shirt and held an exquisite folding fan in his hand.

Her hands are like spring buds, white, tender and delicate.

The skin is as smooth as cream, smooth and delicate.

His neck was as white as jade and his teeth were neat and white.

This is Fan Ruoruo, a woman dressed as a man.

Even if she dressed in men's clothes, it was still difficult to conceal her natural beauty.

Fan Ruoruo has a strong character and is fearless.

After learning that he could not disobey His Majesty's orders.

She decided to come to Zuixianju in person to find out if Li Chengyun was really as Fan Xian and Fan Sizhe said.

Hanging out in brothels is just to hide one's incompetence.

If Li Chengyun was really a playboy, she would never compromise.

Even at the cost of my life, I would never marry such a man.

After going through untold hardships, she finally reached the third floor of Zuixianju.

But he found Li Chengyun drinking tea alone.

There were neither prostitutes nor maids around.

Saw this scene.

The prejudice in Fan Ruoruo's heart gradually dissipated, and she suddenly felt that Li Chengyun was not as disgusting as she had imagined.

At this moment, she was standing aside, secretly observing Li Chengyun.

He sat there, seemingly thinking about something.

The resolute profile was facing her, with clear lines and extraordinary handsomeness.
Fan Ruoruo lowered her head slightly, and her heartbeat accelerated as she couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement in her heart.
