Seeing the smile on the madam's face, he immediately frowned angrily.
His haughty demeanor was instantly shattered as he supported his waist with one hand and rubbed his buttocks with the other.
He looked like a sulky shrew.
He cursed angrily, "Madam, I told you yesterday that you must side with me today. But what do you do? You even help outsiders. Do you think your little brothel is so prosperous that you can look down on everyone!"
Hearing this, the madam shook her head repeatedly. "Young Marquis, what are you saying? I'm just an ordinary person. How could I possibly fight against people from the royal family? Naturally, I'm respectful to you."
Saying this, the madam casually tugged at the young man's sleeve and led him to a corner where no one could hear. She then continued,
"Do you know who that person was just now, Young Marquis?"
Hearing this, the young man shook his head and replied impatiently, "How would I know who that person is? She didn't even give me a chance to get to know her. Her arrogant look was really annoying."
Seeing the young man's angry look, the madam patiently patted his hand.
At the same time, she slapped the silver note that Ye Yue had given her into the young man's hand and gave it a couple more pats for good measure.
She winked and whispered a hint, "Young Marquis, that person is an official. You can't handle this matter like this."
The young man picked up the silver note in his hand and saw the official seal on it. It was clearly a silver note from the palace. If it wasn't from a concubine or someone from the royal family, then it must be from a high-ranking official who was second only to the emperor in the court!
Could it be that the two people just now were court officials?
Thinking of this, the young man's face turned ugly, and his expression was a mix of emotions.
It seemed that he had accidentally offended someone really powerful.
Thinking of this, he immediately turned around, clutched the silver note in his hand, and rushed out of the door.
From afar, the madam's maids surrounded her one by one.
"Madam, the noble guest upstairs left early this morning without leaving anything except this silver note."
Saying this, the maid placed the silver note in the madam's hand. Sure enough, there was also an official seal on this silver note.
It seemed that some really powerful people had come to her small brothel. Maybe these people would really turn the city of Jinshui upside down.
Thinking of this, the madam smiled faintly. She looked at the innocent girls and said with a smile, "You girls, go do what you need to do. Some things are not our concern."
Saying this, she was about to shoo the maids away. Among them, there was a younger girl who came to the madam's side.
"Madam, that person just took the silver note you just earned."
Her innocent voice made the madam smile even more.
The madam gently patted the girl's furry head and said softly with a smile, "This is about giving and taking. There are some things that don't belong to us, so we shouldn't care about losing them. We should just live our own lives."
Hearing this, the little girl nodded half-believingly. She probably only understood half of what was said.
Looking down at the foot of the Qingyun Sect mountain, many students were bowing repeatedly to the Qingyun Sect. Looking at their pious expressions, Tang Youyou really felt a bit ashamed of herself.
These people were like they were possessed. They were still mumbling something in their mouths.
Seeing this, Tang Youyou shook her head and stopped in place, waiting for Ye Yue to come back.
After a while, Ye Yue's figure appeared. With great difficulty, he squeezed through the crowd and came in front of Tang Youyou. Just then, he heard the gongs and drums being beaten in the distance.
The sound was deafening. The scholars who were still muttering quickly got up and excitedly walked towards the source of the sound.
There, a row of disciples in white clothes appeared. These disciples looked very arrogant, looking down on the scholars with disdain.
Their disrespect was very obvious, but the scholars didn't seem to care at all.
Each of them was trying to curry favor with the disciples, afraid that if they said one bad word about them, they would be kicked out.
They were really a bunch of "bootlickers".
Tang Youyou shook her head again. Looking at Ye Yue, who had a blank expression on his face, she slowly asked, "On your way here, did you see any normal people?"
Ye Yue first shook his head, then nodded.
"I'm not sure if this person is normal or not."
Tang Youyou waved her hand and rubbed her forehead. "If it's the person from this morning, then he can be considered normal."
Hearing this, Ye Yue replied, "There really is a normal person running towards this direction."
As soon as he finished speaking, they heard a shouting voice coming from afar.
"Brother Tang! Brother Tang! It's all a misunderstanding, a big misunderstanding! Brother Tang~"
The person's voice was getting closer and closer, and the pitch of his voice was getting higher and higher, which was really ear-piercing.
Tang Youyou glanced at the young man who was running in a hurry. She turned around expressionlessly, forcing herself not to look at him.
But unfortunately, this guy directly rushed in front of her, showing a "cute" smile and thrusting his big face in front of Tang Youyou.
Even when she bent down, this guy still squatted down to look into her eyes.
Seeing Tang Youyou's face, he let out a silly laugh. After his lewd laugh, he began to explain.
"Yesterday, I thought Brother Tang was a hypocrite, but I didn't expect that Brother Tang is actually a good person who does good deeds without seeking recognition."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou couldn't help but frown. "Why do you say that?"
Hearing her reply, this guy got even more excited. He was like a chatterbox and started pouring out his words.
"Yesterday, I thought Brother Tang was a playboy who liked to indulge in pleasure, but I didn't expect that Brother Tang is also kind-hearted and generous. It was my fault yesterday. I shouldn't have tested Brother Tang in that way."
Seeing this guy come all the way here to apologize actively, Tang Youyou was really surprised. She thought this guy was glib from the beginning, but she didn't expect that he was not only glib but also shameless.
She said helplessly and slowly, "There's no need to apologize. We don't know each other. If we're fated, we'll meet again. Goodbye!"
After saying this, she was about to run away quickly as if she was running away from the plague. But unexpectedly, this guy was like a piece of dogskin plaster and was still hard to shake off.
Ru Yan, who was standing beside her, couldn't stand it anymore. She patted the young man and whispered, "Young Marquis, I know your family is wealthy and powerful, but this is the Qingyun Sect, not your Marquis Mansion. Please know the importance of things."
