Chapter 241 Wen Xiang Pavilion

Xin Fuyuan's identity was indeed a problem.

His background from an ancient aristocratic family alone made him someone not to be trifled with.

Coupled with his actions in Tonghuang Town and the Xiaoyao Guan over the years, every outing of his drew considerable attention.

For Xin Ci, dealing with Xin Fuyuan directly was not difficult, but the challenge lay in how to eliminate him without revealing his identity and without anyone noticing.

As he and Mu Qingqing pondered their strategy, another disciple of Xiaoyao Guan, trying to appease Xin Fuyuan's anger, obsequiously said, "Senior Brother Xin, please don't be angry. I heard that the brothels in Tonghuang Town have recently recruited some new girls of exceptional beauty. Shall I take you there to enjoy yourself, Junior Brother?"

Upon hearing about beautiful new girls in the brothel, Xin Fuyuan's scowl immediately vanished, replaced by a jubilant expression, his joy overflowing.

"Good! The only thing that makes this young master happy in Tonghuang Town are the beautiful girls in the brothels. Let's go, hurry up and take me to see them."

Seeing Xin Fuyuan's reaction, the two Xiaoyao Guan disciples let out a relieved sigh, wiping the cold sweat from their brows.

They had finally managed to calm their Senior Brother Xin.

Having been by his side for so long, they knew his preferences well.

Although he hailed from an ancient aristocratic family, he was riddled with the bad habits of a decadent noble.

Feasting, drinking, whoring, and gambling were all commonplace. Especially when he saw

beautiful women, even married ones, he would resort to all sorts of sinister schemes to get them into bed, indulging in their abuse and torment.

Even many female disciples within Xiaoyao Guan had been toyed with to death by him.

For such heinous behavior, most elders of Xiaoyao Guan could only turn a blind eye, pretending not to see.

Little did they know that one of the elders in Xiaoyao Guan already harbored a deep resentment towards Xin Fuyuan.

The reason was simple: his daughter, who refused Xin Fuyuan, had been brutally beaten to death by Xin Fuyuan.

Unwilling to accept this, the elder intended to request the Killing Saint Court to send assassins to eliminate Xin Fuyuan.

The assassination mission that Xin Ci had accepted was precisely issued by this elder.

The two Xiaoyao Guan disciples led Xin Fuyuan towards the brothels on the west street of Tonghuang Town.

There, numerous women in revealing attire, alluring and seductive, congregated.

Seeing men pass by, they would cast flirtatious glances and sway their hips, trying to solicit business.

"Oh my, Young Master Xin has arrived~"

At the entrance of the brothel, a voluptuous, heavily made-up middle-aged woman stepped forward, greeting him with a smile.

Xin Fuyuan had no interest in this heavily rouged woman. He impatiently waved his hand and said coldly, "Don't give me that act. I heard your Wenxiang Pavilion has new girls; hurry and have them come out to serve this young master!"

"Oh dear, Young Master Xin is truly impatient. This humble girl will have them come out to serve you immediately. However, Young Master Xin, you must offer some benefits, and the girls will be even more enthusiastic~"

"Don't worry, if you serve this young master to his satisfaction, you won't be shortchanged."

Hearing Xin Fuyuan's words, the woman's eyes lit up. She quickly beckoned several of Wenxiang Pavilion's renowned courtesans to escort Xin Fuyuan and his entourage to a private room.

Seeing Xin Fuyuan and the two others enter Wenxiang Pavilion, Xin Ci frowned slightly. In such a crowded and lively place, it was even more difficult for him to assassinate Xin Fuyuan.

Mu Qingqing, watching the women in Wenxiang Pavilion, adorned in vibrant colors, had a flash of inspiration, and a plan began to form in her mind.

"Xin Ci, I have a brilliant idea that will allow you to deal with Xin Fuyuan effortlessly."

Xin Ci suddenly had a sense of foreboding, vaguely guessing Mu Qingqing's intention. His lips twitched uncontrollably.

"Qingqing, you're not thinking of…?"

"That's right, it's exactly what you're thinking."

Mu Qingqing smiled meaningfully, "Xin Ci, don't you think your current appearance is not conducive to a certain…?"

"Can I refuse?"

"No."

Xin Ci felt like crying without tears. He already knew what Mu Qingqing wanted him to do.

It was nothing more than for him, disguised as a woman, to pose as one of the women from Wenxiang Pavilion and seize the opportunity to assassinate Xin Fuyuan.

Although it was a good plan, Xin Ci still felt a sense of resistance.

"Since you don't want to go, then switch personalities, and let me deal with Xin Fuyuan. That should be acceptable, right?"

"No!"

Xin Ci reacted with sudden vehemence.

Even if he switched to his second personality, Mu Qingqing's power meant he had nothing to fear.

However, Xin Ci did not want to see Mu Qingqing flirt and entice other men.

Even if Mu Qingqing did so for the purpose of assassinating Xin Fuyuan, he would not agree.

Mu Qingqing, however, did not perceive Xin Ci's subtle intentions and asked, "Then what do you want?"

"I'll do it then."

Oh?

Why had Xin Ci suddenly agreed?

Hadn't he been acting so defiant just moments ago?

Xin Ci sighed helplessly. To prevent Mu Qingqing from taking action herself, he had no choice but to do this.

As he approached the entrance of Wenxiang Pavilion, the same woman from before immediately stopped Xin Ci, saying with a half-smile, "Little girl, do you know what kind of place this is? Wenxiang Pavilion does not provide services for girls."

"Are you perhaps here to entertain those men like the girls in Wenxiang Pavilion?"

The woman saw that the girl before her was delicate and beautiful, her appearance even more ethereal and refined than their top courtesans, and couldn't resist teasing her.

She had initially intended to persuade the girl to leave, but to her surprise, the girl nodded.

The woman was stunned. She then carefully examined Xin Ci.

She felt that the girl was indeed beautiful, just a little short.

However, with such a stunningly beautiful face, she would have no problem attracting customers.

So, the woman confirmed again, "Little girl, do you truly wish to become one of the women of our Wenxiang Pavilion?"

"Yes."

Although Xin Ci agreed readily, his heart was already bleeding.

This would add another dark stain to his life's history.

Seeing this, the woman's eyes lit up. Nodding with satisfaction, she gestured to the women behind her, "Girls, take this little one to bathe and change clothes. Our Wenxiang Pavilion has welcomed another top courtesan."

"Yes."

The women agreed and stepped forward, pulling Xin Ci into Wenxiang Pavilion.

"This way, little sister, come with big sister."

"Don't touch me, I can do it myself."

"Oh my, little sister, are you shy? Don't worry, we sisters will make you look stunning, hehe."

Xin Ci was dragged into a room like a puppet doll to have his makeup done and clothes changed, with unspeakable suffering in his heart.

After the meticulous styling by these women, Xin Ci, in his female form, became even more radiant and breathtakingly beautiful.

The women who had helped him get ready couldn't help but marvel.

"Little sister, your beauty truly makes all of us older sisters here envious."

"So beautiful, it's a pity for those foul men outside."

"Your skin is also so fair and tender, truly enviable."

These women praised Xin Ci's current appearance one after another, but Xin Ci couldn't manage a smile.
