　　"Brothel?! Ran a brothel?! You ran a brothel?! Oh, I see how it is, Young Mingming!" Su Xiao viciously tugged my air and smothered my face in beads of saliva firing from his lips: "Yangtze River's eighteen brothels, huh?! Eighteen?!"

　　Neck stretched beyond the safety zone, I hastily explained, "Xiao! Xiao! It's a misunderstanding! It's a misunderstanding!"

　　Su Xiao always found people who treated females as inferior beings distasteful. He despised those who went to brothels with a vengeance, which was why he exploded before Elder Shou was done.

　　I didn't operate them! Listen for crying out loud! Zhong Ning's old man was the one who started them!

　　Su Xiao sulked in a stifled voice, "Hmph, you choose to play a brothel proprietor of all people! Was it on purpose?!"

　　What sort of rebuke could I offer? Would he believe me if I said I was a blind rodent that accidentally ran into cats? Anyway, the people from the pugilistic world admitted to visiting the brothels at some stage. They shared the girls were smoking hot, and the bodyguards were reliable. Then, they took turns greeting me again as Young Master Zhong. The girl with the staff, Ye Luo and Su Xiao shot me glares. Ye Luo and Su Xiao waved, repeating, "We're not that close. We're not that close."

　　Patriarch Xia cleared his throat: "Whether or not Young Master Zhong is part of Zhong Clan is to be confirmed. In the pugilistic world, lying is unacceptable, especially when this pertains to affluent names. Your escort must also identify themselves. Every. Single. One of them."

　　These days, news in Jiangnan travelled unimaginably fast. Putting aside the likes of the big names in the pugilistic world, such as Long Zaitian or Tie Hanyi, if Tang Ye, who only just had a taste of fame as a young adept, was recognised, it would instantly reveal the imperial court was taking action.

　　I sn.i.g.g.e.red: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, are you sure you should be saying that, Patriarch Xia?"

　　"What do you mean?"

　　"Elder Xia Dachuan founded Jiujiang's Great Spear Academy seventy-nine years ago. This is now the academy's third generation. The academy has always carried itself perfectly and disciplined their disciples strictly. There have never been any poor comments about the academy. Great Spear Style is also renowned as a style rarely practiced anymore. That is why the academy is a household name."
