Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses

”Tch.”

Yuchi found this quite annoying—such a waste of time. If she didn’t want to talk, then there was no need to keep babbling on. He was ready to leave, not even having finished a cup of tea. He might as well consider the ten taels of silver wasted and go look for another courtesan at Wutao Pavilion. If the other courtesan was the same, then this Wutao Pavilion was truly just an empty facade.

Just as Yuchi was about to leave, the woman was startled. She stood up abruptly, slightly parting the curtain to reveal a pair of pitch-black eyes: ”What’s the matter, are you angry?”

”...” Yuchi said nothing.

”Hey, don’t be mad, sit in my room a bit longer. Otherwise, I can’t report back to the Pavilion Master, and things will get troublesome.”

Yuchi was leaving so decisively, just turning and going. Wutao Pavilion had rules: if a guest hadn’t stayed longer than an incense stick’s time, it was the courtesan’s responsibility. The guest could choose another courtesan for free, and the courtesan would receive a negative review.

Brother, why not leave a good review before you go?

A sly and innocent look shimmered in her dark eyes:

”How about I play you a tune, and you can name it? I have knowledge of all authentic Third State melodies, not a problem at all.”

Oh, are you scared? Yuchi said, ”If I were just here to listen to music, I might as well buy an MP3 player!”

What? What Third?

You wouldn’t understand even if I explained, Yuchi sighed, ”I’m asking you one last time, is your knowledge of the Great Tang Prison as shallow as it seems? If that’s all you know, I’m leaving. Talking to you feels like an insult to my intelligence, a waste of my time.”

Oh wow, this person is quite arrogant, am I really wasting your time? The woman wasn’t happy, ”Sit down properly.”

”What, willing to put up a fight now? What was with your earlier attitude...”

”Silence! Sit down!”

”Oh.”

Commanded to sit down, Yuchi did as he was told. The young woman’s dark eyes hid behind the curtain again, and he heard her speak: ”I’ll start with a disclaimer: anything I share about the Great Tang Prison is purely from my own understanding and view, it has no connection with our Wutao Pavilion. Everything I say is solely my own perspective, unrelated to Wutao Pavilion.”

Yuchi almost wanted to laugh upon hearing this. Clearly, Wutao Pavilion had been burned before and was now cautious, ensuring that their courtesans distanced themselves from responsibility beforehand. It made sense; few came to Wutao Pavilion just to enjoy music. Most, like him, came to gather information, almost like a public intelligence agency. Naturally, dangerous topics would arise.

If there was a sting operation, a courtesan might get into trouble, but Wutao Pavilion shouldn’t. So they ensured they were in a safe position before discussing certain matters.

Interesting, Yuchi nodded, ”Alright, I understand your point. You’re only speaking for yourself, nothing to do with Wutao Pavilion. Rest assured, I’m not from the Great Tang Prison—I’m just a passerby curious about this mysterious Great Tang Prison.”

”Mmm!”

The woman named Yi Jun then began to speak:

”There are two kinds of Great Tang Prisons. The first is the legitimate, bright and upright one, deserving of respect, always fighting against evil. The other is a den of villains, where the ugliest things in the world are hidden.”

”And which one are you interested in?”

If she’d just started this way, it would’ve been simpler. Yuchi blew on his tea, ”The latter.”

The woman nodded, carefully pondering to herself: What on earth is this guy doing here? Why does he want to know about the Great Tang Prison? Is he really not here for a sting?

Please, keep your thoughts to yourself. Yuchi was sweating, ”I’m really not here to sting anyone; how would that benefit me?”

Is that so?

The woman seemed curious too. She thought about it, appearing a bit skeptical, and peeked out from behind the curtain with her dark eyes to look at Yuchi. Seeing his nonchalant expression, she put the curtain back down, ”Alright, since you want to know, I’ll tell you.”

”Since you’re interested in the latter, let me be straightforward: the Great Tang Prison houses many prisoners, but there are cases where prisoners turned against the prison itself. Some of these prisons have fallen deeply, with inmates running the show.”
