Jiang Anbo walked towards the riverbank, eager to catch a glimpse of the true appearance of the Courtesan. His expression was one of infatuation, which left Gu Shuan feeling that his understanding of Jiang Anbo had shifted.
Something stirred.
One of the flower boats began to approach the shore, drawing the attention of the young nobles who were wandering along the riverside, curious about whom the boat was headed for.
Could it be Zhu Lan?
Jiang Anbo followed the direction of the flower boat, and it indeed seemed to be heading towards Zhu Lan. Unexpectedly, one of the disciples from Xu Zhu Courtyard caught his eye, leaving Jiang Anbo somewhat taken aback.
"Don't let Young Master Hong laugh at us," he said. "We may not be as distinguished as you two, but having a companion in such places is a comfort. It's a bit enviable how you two carry yourselves."
It was clear that although Jiang Anbo's words were somewhat pretentious, there was a hint of genuine feeling behind them. Gu Shuan found it unconvincing, and it left Hong Yulong silent for quite some time.
What was this about Jiang Anbo? How could he stand by the riverbank seeking flowers and willows? He couldn't possibly compare to Young Master Zhu Lan; it was merely a stroke of luck that he had gained an advantage this time.
Next to him, Hong Yulong seemed to have heard rumors about him seeking to marry Miss Hong Ling from the Hong Family. What was he doing in such a place? It appeared he wouldn’t find anything worthwhile here.
Wasn’t that Jiang Anbo, who could wield a stunning sword? Yet here he was in such a place.
What could be said? Brother had come as well.
It was unclear whether it was a sudden decision or if he had already made arrangements with a courtesan. With their abilities, one could never tell; perhaps among those flower boats tomorrow night, there would indeed be some action.
Listening to the discussions around him, Gu Shuan found it strange. What did those flower boats signify? Had they really not moved at all? The speculation left him puzzled.
At Jade Capital River, there were three courtesans who had never entertained guests. One of them, Jiang Anbo, pointed at Hong Ling and remarked that the Spring Pavilion had a certain standard, but the name was rather too common.
As he spoke, he couldn't help but make a sarcastic comment, which made Hong Ling blush.
In the mortal realm, what kind of elegant affairs could one expect? I didn't want to think too much about it.
However, Jiang Anbo nodded and continued, saying that their courtesan had never entertained guests either. It was said that she was a Sister of the Golden Core Stage, and it was quite impressive that they could produce such a courtesan. It made one think that their family truly had some capabilities.
As for the other establishment, he doubted anyone could compete with the Hong Family.
Outside of Tiandong City, there certainly wasn't much to be found. Yet within Tiandong City, there were hidden talents everywhere; all kinds of monsters and demons existed. Naturally, there were plenty of lucrative businesses to pursue. I noticed that two flower boats were on par with ours—one belonged to the West Chamber Pavilion, while the other was selected from various shops in Smoke Willow Alley. They were certainly trying to compare themselves with our establishment, especially with Coco standing behind them in Tiandong City.
Jiang Anbo didn't elaborate further but pointed his leg toward Tian Zai.
Were they all at the Golden Core Stage?
Indeed.
Jiang Anbo nodded.
That was intriguing; if given the chance, I would definitely want to take a look. But I wondered how one could arrange such a meeting.
If I wanted to see him, couldn't he just arrange it directly?
Hong Ling glanced at Gu Yi with a meaningful look.
I don't deny it. Without any interest, games are only fun when they break the rules, and that's when someone will play with me. Young Master Hong wouldn't understand that.
How would I know there are rules?
There are indeed rules, but the rules of the three families are all different. However, I don't deny that they are something an ordinary person can manage.
Oh, Hong Ling looked at the floating lotus lanterns on the Jade Capital River, wanting to light one for fun. She took out a spirit stone and bought a lantern, squatting by the riverbank to light it.
The rules of Spring Pavilion require that one must catch a Golden Koi from the Jade Capital Riverbank before anything else. But those koi are rare in the entire river and exceptionally intelligent. Only a cultivator with Transcendence could use their Divine Sense to catch one; there is no other way.
Transcendence cultivation—what if I can't see it tomorrow?
Hong Ling dipped her legs into the water with the lotus lantern and adjusted her Yi Dong clothing as she spoke.
As for the flower boat at West Chamber Pavilion, it was slightly redder than usual. To board that boat, one must defeat the guards along the path from the eastern riverbank to the flower boat. Those guards—initially, there was an old man who was a Half-Step to Godhood. I know that cultivators who live longer have more trump cards up their sleeves. Even if he is also a Half-Step to Godhood, among the younger generation, no one could match that old man's skills; only a Transcendent Practitioner could do so.
Well, I don't deny it; it's about the same. What about the first family?
Looking at the first family's flower boat, revealing one's identity while searching for it would be somewhat unwise. Bu Luo doesn't deny wanting to try; those rules aren't interesting at all.
The Qu Chu Family's request is somewhat excessive. If we were to depict the scene of fish playing in the pond of Jade Capital River at night on a piece of paper, it would count as passing that test. But who knows what the Jade Capital River is like at night? Whether there are fish spirits or dragon kings is another matter entirely. If something were to be disturbed, Coco's life would be at stake. It seems harmless, but it's far more difficult than the previous two tasks combined.
