Flower Pavilion is a name that resonates throughout Divine Wood County. Almost every man knows of it.
However, very few can actually enter Flower Pavilion to enjoy its offerings. Those who manage to get in are all prominent figures.
Whether they are wealthy beyond measure or possess exceptional skills, none of them are ordinary people.
Finding such a place is quite simple; just ask anyone, and you will soon learn about it.
However, during their inquiries, Ye Tian and Duan Liu received plenty of disdainful looks.
The reason is that no one knows their identities, and while Ye Tian has a decent appearance, Duan Liu does not fare as well.
People scoffed at the thought of them wanting to go to Flower Pavilion with their looks.
Indeed, they were dressed plainly and did not appear to be wealthy. Moreover, the common folk could not discern their true abilities, so they looked down on their desire to visit Flower Pavilion.
It can be said that Duan Liu significantly detracted from Ye Tian's image...
By the time they arrived at Flower Pavilion, it was already afternoon, nearing evening.
The area in front of Flower Pavilion was crowded with people, featuring all sorts of luxurious palanquins and prized horses. Just looking at them could broaden the horizons of children from poor families.
However, those who rode in palanquins or on horseback were still considered lower-tier guests, as most of them were merely wealthy. The truly esteemed guests were those with profound abilities and notable reputations.
Ye Tian looked up at the seven-story flower pavilion, which was resplendent and almost blinding.
"Do you think we might see someone from our Cloud Sea Sect inside?" Ye Tian couldn't help but wonder. Various figures flashed through his mind, starting with Qin Fufeng, followed by Thunderstorm, Chai Shi, Li Xun, and even Qiu Tiande.
"Hey, if you say that, I'm a bit hesitant to go in," Duan Liu said with a mischievous smile, clearly thinking of a few people he knew.
"What's up? Who are you thinking of?" Ye Tian asked curiously.
"Haha, I won't tell you," Duan Liu said as he prepared to step inside, but was pulled back by Ye Tian.
"Hurry up, who are you thinking of?" Ye Tian pressed.
"I'll tell you, but you can't tell anyone!" Duan Liu chuckled mischievously.
"Come on, you don't really think Master would be inside, do you?"
"Hahahahaha..." Duan Liu burst into laughter, leaving much unsaid.
Ye Tian rolled his eyes at him and ignored him, then stepped toward the Flower Pavilion.
They had previously inquired about directions; although the people they asked looked down on them, they didn't say it outright, so neither of them knew the rules of the Flower Pavilion.
Just as they were about to enter, they were stopped by the Turtle Slave at the door.
"Excuse me... gentlemen, do you have a reservation?" The Turtle Slave here was quite different from others; each one not only lacked lewdness but also exuded an exceptional demeanor, clearly trained fighters.
"A reservation? Do you need a reservation to visit a brothel?" Duan Liu asked discontentedly.
"Sir... please mind your language," the man seemed uncomfortable addressing Duan Liu as 'sir.'
"What’s wrong with my language?" Duan Liu retorted angrily. It was just a brothel; why act so high and mighty? Why not show some class instead?
"This is not a place where just anyone can cause trouble. I advise you both, if you don't have an appointment, it's best to leave quickly," the Turtle Slave said coldly. In fact, entering here required not only an appointment but also two additional conditions: one must present a token that sufficiently proves their identity and status, and the other was to pay a thousand taels of gold.
In the eyes of the Turtle Slave, these two clearly did not meet any of those qualifications.
So, he was too lazy to ask further.
"Is it true that we can't go in without an appointment?" Ye Tian asked curiously.
"That's right, unless you have a thousand taels of gold," another Turtle Slave sneered. It was obvious he looked down on Ye Tian and Duan Liu; for these two, a thousand taels of gold was likely just a distant dream, let alone having a distinguished identity.
"A thousand taels of gold? Why don't you go rob someone?" Duan Liu shouted, as he had never seen so much money in his life.
"Get lost, you country bumpkin," one of the Turtle Slaves said impatiently. They usually treated ordinary people with indifference, let alone these two poor fellows.
"Hey, watch your words," Ye Tian said, tilting his head to look at him and repeating what he had just said.
"What? Are you looking for trouble here?"
"Are you tired of living?"
As they spoke, the two Turtle Slaves began cracking their knuckles and shaking their heads, looking ready to fight.
"You two are not worthy to speak to me. Go call your leader," Ye Tian said without even looking at them.
"Haha, such bravado from a country bumpkin. Do you think our leader is someone you can meet?"
"Stop wasting time with them. Hurry up and get out; you're dirtying our doorstep."
"What’s going on?! Why all the noise?"
Just as the two were about to make a move, a person descended the magnificent staircase facing the porch. This individual was dressed luxuriously and carried an air of dignity, clearly someone accustomed to high society.
"Consul Wang." The two Turtle Slaves spoke in unison upon seeing this person, then bowed deeply, their demeanor respectful and cautious.
"What’s happening?" Consul Wang approached the door and glanced at the two, completely ignoring Ye Tian and Duan Liu.
"In response to Consul Wang, these two..."
Before they could finish, Consul Wang interrupted them: "Didn’t I say that if any ignorant fools want to come in, just throw them out? You’re wasting time here with your chatter; don’t you fear delaying our esteemed guests upstairs?"
"Yes, yes..." The two Turtle Slaves hurriedly agreed.
"What are you waiting for? Quickly remove these two trash from the entrance."
At these words, Ye Tian's expression instantly turned icy. The fact that this person didn’t even glance at him or Duan Liu, treating them with such disdain, was infuriating.
"Ye Tian, show them your identity!" Duan Liu was even more furious. It wasn't just about being looked down upon; he wanted to scare them into submission.
However, Ye Tian was not in a hurry to reveal his identity. The vicious glares from the two Turtle Slaves annoyed him greatly; he felt he needed to teach them a lesson to relieve his anger.
"Get lost!"
One of the Turtle Slaves swung a fist toward Ye Tian's head.
The coldness in Ye Tian's eyes deepened. Sensing the aura of this Turtle Slave, he estimated that their strength was around that of a First-Stage Martial Artist. Such power would seem almost divine to an ordinary person.
Moreover, this guy struck directly at the head. If an ordinary person received such a punch, they would likely be bedridden for at least six months. In fact, it could even kill someone with a single blow!
"What a vicious heart, what a wicked dog!" Ye Tian snorted coldly, and Stormy Winds and Thunder sensed his intent, immediately becoming agitated.
Bang!
Without giving any leeway or hesitation, the Turtle Slave was sent flying out, crashing against the wall, which shattered into pieces. The Turtle Slave collapsed, clearly on the verge of death.
To strike with such lethal intent was simply too much!
Ye Tian felt that he had not correctly understood Cloudscar's guidance but had instead gone astray. How could he be so violent? Although that person was despicable, he did not deserve to die!
Then Ye Tian floated away and took out a Spiritual Pill, placing it in the Turtle Slave's mouth to save his life.
Consul Wang was stunned on the spot; he had never seen such a violent person before. However, his expression instantly turned icy.
This was within his area of responsibility, and such an incident had occurred. It could be said that this reckless young man was doomed.
"Kid, this isn't a place where you can act recklessly just because you have some strength!"
"You’re quite annoying; it’s best if you say less." Ye Tian confirmed that the Turtle Slave would not die and chose to ignore him.
"Heh, you have quite the attitude!" Although Consul Wang looked down on Ye Tian, he still held some fear of his strength. However, considering that this local brat couldn't be that powerful, killing him wouldn’t matter since he had no backing.
Coincidentally, Consul Wang had just been scolded by a Cloud Token holder from the Cloud Sea Sect upstairs and was looking for an outlet for his frustration. The appearance of Ye Tian and Duan Liu was like a warm gift to him.
"Do I really have such an attitude? But do you know why I find you so annoying?" Ye Tian asked with a cold smile. Since conflict was inevitable, he intended to completely defeat his opponent both mentally and physically.
"Oh? Why?" Consul Wang seemed to be teasing his prey, wearing a calm and relaxed expression.
"There's no special reason, just because your last name is Wang," Ye Tian said as he moved closer. "Having that surname and encountering me means you're out of luck."
Of course, he was just saying this for the sake of conversation; he didn't intend to deal with every person named Wang. However, the surname did evoke some distaste in him.
"Haha, how domineering! Have you never seen the world, or are you just really brave? Have you heard of who I am?" Consul Wang, tall and imposing, looked down at Ye Tian and asked.
"No, no, I'm fearless," Ye Tian shook his finger and looked up to meet his gaze.
"Heh heh, fearless? What do you rely on? A third-rate sect? Or some outside influence?" Consul Wang had seen a lot; he had a good impression of almost everyone who could be named in Divine Wood County, but he had never encountered someone like Ye Tian before. He was confident in his judgment and memory, so he regarded Ye Tian as someone from a small sect in a small place.
"My reliance is strength, but I'm curious about what yours is," Ye Tian countered.
"Hahaha, my reliance is myself. My name is Wang Tianxiong; remember it!"
After saying that, Wang Tianxiong directly struck out with his palm towards Ye Tian's head.
"Wang Tianxiong? You should really regret having such a name!" The surname Wang already made Ye Tian quite displeased, and this guy had the audacity to call himself Wang Tianxiong. Fortunately, they were in Divine Wood County; if they were in Spirit Martial Town, Ye Tian might have considered him a relative of the Wang family and would have wiped him out without hesitation.
Bang!
Ye Tian raised his hand to meet the attack without holding back at all. After a loud crash, Wang Tianxiong's expression immediately darkened.
