Chapter 92

When Bai Chen spoke, all the men and women in the shop looked up at him.

Bai Chen was taken aback. He looked at the women, who all had fierce expressions and looks of disgust.

Several women in pink robes, each wielding a pair of swords, rushed down from the central staircase, all exuding a murderous aura.

The woman at the front was over thirty, her hairstyle adding to her noble appearance. She had a slim and graceful figure, and from her physique alone, it was hard to guess her age.

Her cultivation was also remarkable, far surpassing Bai Chen's, and she seemed to be at the middle stage of the Innate realm.

She was the only one holding a single sword, which was elaborately decorated and had a deep blue body, seemingly made of non-iron metal.

All these women were not only beautiful but also highly skilled.

Bai Chen was speechless, his mouth agape as he stared at the women in shock.

Had he accidentally entered a black shop?

To dare open a black shop in such a bustling market, this was no ordinary level of audacity.

"Young man, you have some nerve to come and cause trouble in my embroidery shop. Do you think my embroidery shop is unattended?"

The woman at the front was indignant, and the few men in the shop also looked furious, glaring at Bai Chen.

"Um... May I ask, isn't this a... brothel?"

Bai Chen's words only made everyone angrier. The prestigious Seven Embroidery Shop was now being called a brothel by a young man.

This was not just causing trouble; it was an insult to the Seven Embroidery.

Mu Wan'er was laughing so hard her stomach hurt, but she kept a safe distance from Bai Chen, clearly showing that she had nothing to do with him.

Bai Chen looked around and noticed that all the men in the shop were young and talented.

Each one was exceptionally handsome and exuded a heroic aura.

Some were as elegant as the wind, some were rebellious and free-spirited, and some were dressed as scholarly gentlemen, but all of them had a trace of true qi flowing through them, clearly indicating they were martial artists.

"Wan'er, what are you doing here?" At this moment, a man stepped out of the crowd, his eyes shining as he looked at Mu Wan'er.

The man was dressed in black, tall and slightly dark-skinned, with a straight face but a hooked nose that ruined his appearance, making him look untrustworthy.

When Mu Wan'er saw this man, a look of disgust flashed across her face.

However, the man seemed to ignore it and walked up to her enthusiastically, trying to grab her hands.

Mu Wan'er immediately dodged his grasp: "Lin Tian, we're not that close."

Bai Chen, who was currently troubled by the situation, was delighted to see Mu Wan'er and Lin Tian.

"Brother Lin, you've really put me in a difficult position." Bai Chen walked up to Lin Tian and patted his shoulder, acting as if they were old friends.

"Who are you?" Lin Tian's face darkened; he did not want to be associated with Bai Chen.

"Brother Lin, how can you deny knowing me? You said you were coming to the brothel, so I followed you. You entered first, and I came in right after. How can you say you don't know me now?"

"Lin Tian, what do you mean? Your White Emperor City may be powerful, but my Seven Embroidery Shop is not to be bullied. If you don't explain yourself today, don't think you can leave here."

The woman at the front immediately believed Bai Chen's words.

Indeed, how could a common martial artist not know that the embroidery shop was a branch of the Seven Embroidery? If this young man wasn't misled, he wouldn't have mistaken the embroidery shop for a brothel.

"Sir, don't spout nonsense. I don't know you at all. Do you think I'm easy to bully?" Lin Tian's eyes were filled with killing intent.

Bai Chen immediately took a few steps back, looking at Lin Tian warily: "Brother Lin, you want to kill me over such a small matter? Fine, fine... I can't provoke you. I'll leave. It's all my fault, all my fault. Senior, I've offended you... I'll take my leave."

With that, Bai Chen turned and walked out without looking back.

However, before he could take a few steps, several young men and women walked in. Among them was a woman with a jade hairpin in her hair, a red dot between her eyebrows, and eyes that sparkled like stars. She carried a pair of swords on her back and had a confident smile on her face, exuding a radiant beauty.

"Sir, you haven't explained yourself yet. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

"Cheng Xianyi of the Seven Embroidery." Mu Wan'er was surprised to see the woman, but when she looked at the others behind her, she looked puzzled.

"Mu Wan'er of the Tang Sect, ha... Now all the Three Heroes and Four Talents are gathered." One of the tall men laughed heartily. He had a loud voice, an open chest, and a half-bearded face, but he didn't look old.

"Ah... Ha, so this is a gathering of the Three Heroes and Four Talents. Wan'er, you've really tricked me. I won't disturb you. Excuse me." Bai Chen planned to sneak away.

However, Mu Wan'er was not pleased. She was willing to let Bai Chen blame Lin Tian, but she wouldn't let him blame her.

Especially when Bai Chen called her by name, Mu Wan'er didn't think they were that close.

However, Cheng Xianyi wouldn't let Bai Chen get away with his antics. She walked up to him and blocked his path: "Sir, may I ask your name?"

"He is known as the 'Flower Prince' and the 'Brothel Thief Bai Chen' in the martial world." Mu Wan'er smiled slyly: "A few days ago, he met a young Miao girl and defiled her innocence."

Mu Wan'er's words immediately drew the killing intent of everyone present.

Besides the Seven Embroidery disciples, the others were young heroes from the martial world, including the most outstanding seven of their generation.

Now that they had encountered a brothel thief, they wouldn't let him go easily.

"So you're a brothel thief! You slandered me earlier. What do you have to say now?" Lin Tian sneered at Bai Chen.

"Wan'er, how can you treat me like this? I was sincere with you. If you don't appreciate it, why humiliate me in public?" Bai Chen was on the verge of tears, realizing he had brought this upon himself.

However, he wouldn't give up easily. He would drag Mu Wan'er into this.

Bai Chen looked heartbroken, as if he had a deep, unspoken affection. He pointed at Mu Wan'er for a long time before finally lowering his hand.

"Fine, fine... Since you are so heartless, why should I be sentimental..."

Bai Chen squeezed out a few tears, wiping them away, and began to mumble to himself:

"Last year, on the night of the Lantern Festival, the market was lit up like daylight.

The moon rose above the willows, and we made plans for after dusk.

This year, on the night of the Lantern Festival, the moon and the lights are the same.

But I don't see the person from last year, and my sleeves are wet with tears."

Everyone was moved, even the Seven Embroidery disciples, who now felt sympathy and pity for him.

Clap, clap, clap—

A clear applause echoed, and a graceful figure walked out from the upper floor.

Bai Chen looked up and saw the woman he had longed for, Mei Jiangxue.

"Senior Sister." Cheng Xianyi bowed to Mei Jiangxue.

"Bai Chen, it's been a while. Your literary skills have improved." Mei Jiangxue walked over, and Bai Chen felt awkward, looking around.

"Senior Mei, it's been a while. You still look as beautiful and charming as ever."

At this moment, Bai Chen's face was no longer sad but playful.

"Senior Sister, do you know him?" Cheng Xianyi was puzzled, and the Three Heroes and Four Talents were also confused.

Who was this man? One moment he claimed to be a brothel patron, the next a brothel thief, and then a lovesick man.

"I know him, how could I not? My two disciples have suffered greatly because of him."

Mei Jiangxue's eyes were filled with resentment: "I would recognize him even if he turned to ashes!"

"Have my two junior sisters been distracted by him?"

"Stop standing there! Seize this boy!" Mei Jiangxue's voice was stern, and the Seven Embroidery disciples immediately surrounded Bai Chen with their swords.

With this female demon here, Bai Chen didn't dare to act rashly. He let himself be captured, his face tearful.

With several swords at his neck, Bai Chen looked at Mei Jiangxue helplessly.

He knew his limited cultivation was no match for Mei Jiangxue.

Mei Jiangxue's face was cold as she walked up to Bai Chen: "Bai Chen, if you don't give me an explanation today, you won't leave this place."

"Senior, I haven't offended you. Why are you tormenting me like this?"

"Haven't offended me? You have a good memory. 'The river is wide, but I drink only one cup.' If not for your words, why would my two disciples have wasted away and entered the Valley of Heartbreak to guard the tomb of love for thirty years?"

"So you heard that...?" Bai Chen's face turned red.

"Who in the inn didn't hear? You said my two disciples were not as good as Qin Kelan. Why did you only want Qin Kelan and treat my two disciples so heartlessly?"

Everyone now understood that this young man was not a brothel thief but was even more despicable, leaving a trail of broken hearts wherever he went.

However, this was also a kind of capital. Not many disciples could make Seven Embroidery women fall in love, and to do so with two at once was enough to make the young heroes present bow in admiration.

Of course, Bai Chen didn't want this kind of capital and regretted getting entangled with those two Seven Embroidery girls.

Mei Jiangxue was avenging her disciples, and her face was filled with anger.

"When I heard you had taken a mission and were going to Liangzhou with Mu Wan'er of the Tang Sect, I thought it would be for the best if you died at the hands of the Divine Strategy Army, so my two disciples wouldn't be heartbroken. But you, you stubbornly survived, and even defeated four of the Seven Stars. Why didn't you just die?"

Everyone was shocked. The Seven Stars under the command of the Prince of Liao were well-known in the martial world.

Even one of them would be a formidable opponent, but Bai Chen had killed four of them. Everyone's perception of him changed.

Mei Jiangxue snorted: "You don't know, but this man has been making headlines recently. The Divine Strategy Army is hunting him like mad, offering a huge reward for his head. He's worth a lot."

...

This is the last public chapter of the month. After midnight, it will be released, and the battle is about to begin! The real battle... You are with me.

As a reader, you may not feel the pressure of going public, thinking about the initial subscription numbers and the new book votes, which can make one feel lost and confused.

The book has been uploaded for four weeks, and the collection and clicks have been consistently good, but it's two recommendations short of the norm, so it still lags behind other excellent new books.

However, I believe in every reader, in the power of unity, in the miracles you can bring, and I look forward to the miracles you will give me. I will also create miracles for you.

When the battle horn sounds, it's time to burst!

With Bai Chen's catchphrase: "I'm willing to risk everything to bring down the emperor."
