As soon as Lin Aoxue came in, she reached out and untied her tied hair. She also took off all the things on her body and put them into the storage ring. "What do you think about this matter?" Lin Aoxue lay down on the bed very relaxed. Ye Liuyun was even more direct. She took off her coat and skirt and lay down next to Lin Aoxue in her white undergarments. "They are right. Even if the Blood Demon Cult's headquarters is really in Jianglin City, the biggest problem is how to deal with them. There are too many people in Jianglin City. It is difficult for the cultivators of our four major sects to clear out the headquarters without hurting innocent people. Once a fight breaks out, innocent people will inevitably be affected," Ye Liuyun also said. "But, we can't do this or that. What should we do? Should we really go shopping?" Lin Aoxue asked back. Ye Liuyun thought about it and then said. "Excuse me for being blunt, but this matter will ultimately have to be handled by the Yun Sect themselves. We just need to help them find the headquarters. It's best for us four major sects not to get involved in this mess, because if something goes wrong, we will have to take the blame. That's why, when it's obvious that they can solve the problem themselves, they have to find a reason to let us, the people from the four major sects, handle this matter. This is already an attempt to pass the buck." Ye Liuyun said seriously. There was nothing wrong with Ye Liuyun's guess. After all, Jianglin City was too close to Yun Sect. If they wanted to investigate it themselves, it would be too easy. There was only one answer. They were basically sure that the Blood Demon Cult's headquarters was in Jianglin City, but they did not want to take the risk of disrupting the secular order. Their four subordinate sects must have understood this truth, but they just couldn't refuse. After all, they were nominally subordinates of the Yun Sect, and it was the subordinates' obligation to help their superior sect solve problems. It is definitely impossible to refuse.
"Then, did your master give you any instructions?" Ye Liuyun asked. Lin Aoxue thought about it. "Well, it seems like it's telling me not to think too much, just come here to relax, and if you encounter any troubles, just ignore them if you can. In a word, it's telling us not to get into trouble." Lin Aoxue repeated Yun Yun's original words. When Ye Liuyun heard this, he basically understood what the sect meant. In fact, it meant that it didn't matter whether the truth could be uncovered or not. What was important was not to cause any trouble. "Is that so? Then I understand. The sect is just trying to deal with the Yun Sect and has no intention of letting you find out anything." Ye Liuyun was relieved. Lin Aoxue also felt that the sect didn’t want to find the location of the Blood Demon Cult’s headquarters, because if they found it, it would be trouble, but if they didn’t, it would have nothing to do with them. At the same time, in a secret place in Jianglin City, this is the headquarters of the Blood Demon Cult. "Elder, there are more and more cultivators in Jianglin City, including many in the Dao Palace realm. Has the Yun Sect discovered us, so are we going to take action?" In a dark house, a Blood Demon Sect cultivator asked a red-robed woman. This so-called elder should be the person in charge of the Blood Demon Cult in Yun Sect. "Hmph! Their Yun Sect must have known that we are in the city a long time ago, but they dare not take action due to regulations. Also, they are not sure about our location. During this period, the old rules still apply. Most people should stay in their respective positions and don't show up. We don't care. We have plenty of time to waste with them." The Blood Demon Sect's female elder sneered. They are in the dark and the enemy is in the light, so it is not certain who will deal with whom. "But we can't just sit there and wait to die, right?" the monk from the Blood Demon Cult said in embarrassment. What he meant was that one should not wait to be beaten, but should take the initiative to attack. "Did I say you are not allowed to take action? You can take action, but you must do it secretly and not be noticed by anyone. It is okay to kill some of them and teach them a lesson. If they are angry and don't follow the rules, this is the result we in the Blood Demon Sect want to see." The female elder sneered. Soon, it was night. Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue rested for a night and planned to go out and take a look. "It's getting dark, and it's almost time. Get up, Aoxue, let's go out and take a look. We can't come to Jianglin City in vain." Ye Liuyun smiled as he looked at Lin Aoxue beside him. Lin Aoxue thought for a moment and said. "No problem, but let's pretend to be men. In the secular world, it's not convenient to be a woman and it's easy to get into trouble." Ye Liuyun had no objection and immediately handed Lin Aoxue a disguise pill. The two of them took the pill and transformed themselves into men.
The image of Lin Aoxue transformed into a young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. Ye Liuyun naturally turned back into his male appearance. "Wow, so handsome. Your temperament, matched with this image, is just like the swordsman in martial arts novels. Hey! It's good to have temperament. Unlike me, I am obviously a man but I don't have any manly temperament." Ye Liuyun said enviously. "Shut up. If you can't speak properly, then don't speak." Lin Aoxue gave Ye Liuyun a look, and the two of them walked out the door. However, as soon as they came out, they ran into Song Shuwen. This is awkward. "Eh? What are you two doing?" Song Shuwen was stunned when he saw two strange young men walking out of the room. He was planning to go out for a trip. In order to kill time, they had been going out for a walk at night and trying their luck to see if they could find any useful clues. Yun Xin and the others have all gone out. "Ahem, Senior Brother Song, we two have changed our appearances, there's no need to be so surprised." Ye Liuyun explained quickly. After all, the two of them came out of their own rooms, so there was no way they would deny their identities. Song Shuwen was stunned. He wondered what method she was using to allow the two of them to disguise themselves so thoroughly. "Oh, so, are you going out? That's great, I want to go out and take a look too. Why don't I be your guide? After all, we have almost searched all over Jianglin City during this period of time, and we know it very well. Hey! How long will we have to stay here? We have to find something to do to pass the time." Song Shuwen said. Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue looked at each other, and then agreed with Song Shuwen's opinion. "Okay, then please let Senior Brother Song lead the way." Ye Liuyun said with a smile. So Song Shuwen led Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue out of Yuelai Inn and walked onto the street. Although there are fewer pedestrians on the streets at night, the atmosphere feels much more lively than during the day. At least there are many more women than during the day. It is inconvenient for women to go out on the streets during the day, but they can go out at night because of the unclear vision. However, most of them are dressed in men's clothes, and you can tell they are women just by looking at their body shape and image. Chapter 240 Jiang Lin Night (6000 words) At night in Jianglin City, especially in the south city, lanterns of various colors are hung at the doors of almost every household. The most lively place at night is South City, because all the entertainment venues in the secular world are in South City. East City is mainly where civilians live, North City is where dignitaries live, and West City is where ordinary poor families live, which is also the area where common people live. Ye Liuyun and his family live in the South City, so it is very lively here and there are many people on the streets. Other areas are mainly residential areas, so there are not many pedestrians. Today, Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue just came out to take a look. If they really want to determine the location of the Blood Demon Cult headquarters, it is actually not difficult. Ye Liuyun can use the Shenyou Pill to explore it, which is both convenient and safe. "Tsk tsk, Aoxue, look at those women, their disguises are so unprofessional. The short stature and thin waist, you can tell at a glance that they are women. I don't believe others are fools and can't see it." Ye Liuyun's eyes glanced at the people on the street, and at just one glance he saw many women dressed up as men to go out for fun. When Lin Aoxue heard this, she glanced at Ye Liuyun. "Is your focus quite special? Why do I think you are more excited about shopping than me?" Lin Aoxue asked with narrowed eyes. These words choked Ye Liuyun. She smiled awkwardly and quickly looked away, not wanting to bother with Lin Aoxue about these things. Song Shuwen, who was standing by, saw Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue's reactions. How should I put it? It was very awkward. He knew that the two were sisters, but there was a weird feeling when they walked together. "Hey, two masters and junior brothers, is this your first time in Jianglin City?" Song Shuwen asked puzzledly.
Because he saw that Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue seemed quite reserved. "This? That's not the case. I came here once when I was a child, but that was so many years ago that I don't remember it anymore. Oh, by the way, Senior Brother Song, this South City is the most prosperous commercial district, right? What's fun about this place? Oh, by the way, where did Senior Sister Yunxin and the others go? Did they go to investigate for clues about the Blood Demon Cult?" Ye Liuyun asked. When Song Shuwen heard Ye Liuyun's question, he immediately smiled awkwardly. "Hehe, Junior Brother Ye, it's been a week since we last investigated the Blood Demon Cult. We've already checked every place we can, so we've actually been playing in Jianglin City during this time." Song Shuwen explained. After hearing this, Ye Liuyun immediately looked as if he understood. Under normal circumstances, since no clues could be found, they would have changed back long ago. Letting them stay here was just to deal with Yun Zong's attitude, so what else could they do if not play? "So where do you usually go to play? Tell us about it." Ye Liuyun asked curiously. But this question made Song Shuwen embarrassed again. His eyes wandered and he seemed a little embarrassed to look into Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue's eyes. When Ye Liuyun saw Song Shuwen's hesitant and reluctant tone, he immediately understood that men have many of the same thoughts. "Hey, Senior Brother Song, don't look so hesitant. Don't worry, we won't say anything casually. Just give us a brief introduction." Ye Liuyun asked with a smile. Song Shuwen looked at Lin Aoxue carefully, and when he saw that Lin Aoxue looked cold and calm, he spoke. "Well, hehe, the places we men go to are naturally those red-light districts. I think it's better for you two junior sisters not to ask." Song Shuwen's voice became lower and lower. To be honest, the entertainment venues in the secular world are all prepared for men. These places are not very suitable for women to visit. After hearing this, Ye Liuyun couldn't help but roll his eyes. In this era, what places can you have fun in? Of course, there are only places for fireworks and prostitution, and it doesn't just refer to places like brothels. As long as it is a place for entertainment and leisure, it can be considered a place for fireworks. "If you want to go and have a look, then go. Don't be so hesitant." Lin Aoxue wanted to complain when she saw Ye Liuyun looking like he really wanted to go and have a look. But when Song Shuwen heard this, he became anxious. "Eh? I've already said it. I'll tell you guys, if you want to go and have a look, this has nothing to do with me. In fact, there aren't many places worth visiting in South City, only a few. I think, my two junior sisters, you should just go and have fun on your own. Well, I have something to do, so I'll take my leave now." Song Shuwen left with an awkward remark and ran away. He originally wanted to introduce Jiang Lincheng to the two of them, but he overlooked one thing. The two people in front of him were actually women. If the sect knew that he took the young sect master to that kind of place, he would be in big trouble. "Eh? Don't go, Senior Brother Song. Don't worry, we won't tell anyone else." Ye Liuyun shouted immediately when he saw Song Shuwen suddenly run away. But Song Shuwen ran even faster. "Huh? Why are you running? I won't make things difficult for you. I agreed to be your guide." Ye Liuyun complained speechlessly. Lin Aoxue's mind was as clear as a mirror. It was a man's nature to have fun. He could bear to stay in a boring place like the sect to practice, but coming to the secular world and being involved in the world was another matter. However, Yun Yun told her that entering the secular world is also a kind of cultivation. The more things you see and the more things you experience, your state of mind will naturally improve. "Let's go. Don't make things difficult for others. If you want to go and take a look, then go and take a look. Don't worry, I'm from Earth just like you, so I'm not that rigid." Lin Aoxue said. Ye Liuyun laughed immediately when he heard this. "Hehe, let's go." Ye Liuyun said, and was about to take Lin Aoxue's hand. But it was opened by Lin Aoxue immediately. "Ouch." Ye Liuyun immediately retracted his hand and looked at Lin Aoxue with a puzzled look.
Lin Aoxue immediately glared at her. "Are you an idiot? We are men now. Two men holding hands, do you think it's disgusting?" Lin Aoxue complained. When Ye Liuyun heard this, he remembered that they were currently dressed as men. "Hehe, I'm used to it, I'm used to it, hehe." Ye Liuyun smiled embarrassedly. Lin Aoxue looked at Ye Liuyun's behavior and sighed heavily again. The two of them walked forward again and soon walked into an extremely lively place. Why is it so lively? Because the streets here are full of women dressed revealingly and flashily. These women walk on the street without any hesitation and chat up the men passing by. They are very direct. No need to look, this is the fireworks street. "Hey, young master, please come to our Xiuyun Tower and play. The girls here are proficient in everything, including music, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing. As long as you are willing to spend money, we can provide you with all the services you want." A very coquettish woman took the initiative to hold a young man's hand and said with a smile. --------------------------------- The young man was stunned, and then was dragged into the nearby Xiuyun Building by the woman in a daze. Almost every man who enters this street is pulled into the brothels by these soliciting women in various ways. Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue stood at the entrance of the street, not knowing whether to go in or not. "Oh my god, is it so exciting and direct? Eh? Why are there women going in? Aoxue, look, those with rough disguises, aren't they all women? What are they doing in there?" Ye Liuyun watched as many women dressed as men entered this place. Lin Aoxue was about to roll her eyes again. "You idiot! Ever since what you did last time, you almost messed up the genders in Jiangzhou Prefecture. Are the women you see necessarily women?" Lin Aoxue reminded. These words served as a reminder to Ye Liuyun. "Eh? If you hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten about such a thing. Hey! I was wondering why so many women are wandering around the streets dressed as men." Ye Liuyun glanced around and saw many such people on the streets, almost accounting for half of the pedestrians. This reversal of yin and yang is truly terrible. "Let's go, stop being dazed. You want to go in and take a look, then go in and take a look. It will be fine as long as you don't mess around." Lin Aoxue said. After saying that, she walked straight into the street. "Eh? How come you're more direct than me?" Ye Liuyun quickly chased after him. As soon as the two of them came in, the eyes of the brothel girls standing on both sides of the street immediately lit up. They gathered around. "Two gentlemen, you are obviously people of noble status. Come to our Xiu Pavilion and take a look. Our girls are definitely the best in this red-light district." A woman in a red dress stepped forward and grabbed Ye Liuyun's arm. "Oh, this young man is so handsome. Come to our Beauty Pavilion. The girls here are all good at singing and dancing. I guarantee they will satisfy you." Another woman was lobbying Lin Aoxue. Lin Aoxue looked unmoved, while Ye Liuyun was very embarrassed and kept laughing dryly. However, after they took a few steps, these women gave up in disappointment, because they obviously had their own territory, and once the guests left this territory, they could not cross the line. Sure enough, after Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue arrived at the doors of the other two houses, women of all kinds came up to chat with them in various ways.
Ye Liuyun could only keep refusing, while keeping an eye on Lin Aoxue. In Lin Aoxue's eyes, she could not see a trace of embarrassment or shyness, only calmness and compassion. Because she knew very well that the women here were basically not considered human beings. Their status was even lower than those of slaves. People who came into such places had sold their bodies, so they were all private property of these brothels, just like Fan Ling was their slave now. Some were sold here by their families, some were abducted, and of course, most of those who stayed here were criminals. The so-called criminals were those who had committed crimes at home and were labeled slaves by the government and sent here to be punished. Of course, in this world, when women are punished, it is mostly because the head of the household has committed an unforgivable sin. There is currently no death penalty in the Tang Dynasty. The most severe punishment for criminals is for men to be exiled to the frontier as soldiers, but in reality, most people find it difficult to reach the frontier and most of them die on the way. Women, as appendages of men, would naturally be punished, often by being made prostitutes.
