The originally noisy Waterfront Chamber fell silent because of this matter.

 

The guests who had stuck out their heads from their rooms were astounded to see what was going on.

 

Even the disciples from other Forces, who were watching the show with a smile turned solemn. They wanted to know how the ‘generous’ man in luxurious clothes inside the private room was going to deal with this matter.

 

They were initially there to watch a good show. Such an incident was not rare in a brothel like the Waterfront Chamber.

 

These people were there to seek fun. Since a woman was forced into performing at the Waterfront Chamber, they all knew of her status. There was no way she could avoid becoming a prostitute in the end.

 

Moreover, someone who could easily give out a Sacred Phoenix Heart Stone must be from a powerful background. They would not dare to offend him.

 

It surprised everyone that this man in white clothes who was with Zi Yunchuan, Zhao Tianfan, and the others would lend a helping hand to this young woman at this point.

 

The ladies of the Waterfront Chamber had also stuck out their heads to see what was going on. Their eyes brightened as they stared longingly at the elegant young man over there.

 

Some of them were also forced to work in this brothel. If they had a choice, they would not have wanted to force a smile and please the guests in such a place.

 

They understood what Yi Yi was going through, so they felt sorry for her as well.

 

When they saw that a graceful young man suddenly stepped forward and lent her a helping hand, they were naturally touched. They wondered if a handsome young man would come to the rescue when they were in the same situation.

 

Many thoughts turned over in the minds of these young ladies. They were envious of Yi Yi who stood beside Gu Changge.

 

The surname of the middle-aged woman was Liu. The guests of the Waterfront Chamber always called her ‘Madam Liu’.

 

The way she treated the man in luxurious clothes inside the private room showed how noble his identity was. That was why she ferociously scolded Yi Yi in front of so many guests.

 

“Do you think the white-clothed man will take Yi Yi away tonight?”

 

“It has only been several days since Yi Yi came, and she’s lucky enough to come across a kind-hearted man who is willing to stand up for her.”

 

Some ladies were whispering among themselves when they saw the scene. Their eyes were full of envy.

 

The white-clothed woman named Yi Yi tightly held her zither as her head hung low. Her silky hair covered her face. In her other hand, she was holding the white handkerchief that Gu Changge had given her. She did not use it to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth.

 

She could hear the envy in those women’s voices.

 

It was difficult for her to put her feelings into words. She just felt her face burning. She could only lift her head and steal a glance at the white-clothed man beside her.

 

Worried that the other party might discover what she was doing, she quickly retracted her gaze. She was worried she might do something inappropriate.

 

Since the distance between them was short, she could catch a whiff of a faint scent, which made her feel at ease.

 

For some reason, she felt as if she could hear her own heartbeat.

 

From a young age, she had always been oppressed. It was the first time someone stood in front of her and stood up for her.

 

Even her Cousin only looked in her direction and turned a blind eye to what was happening to her.

 

Just then, Madam Liu finally recovered from her shock and nervously said, “Sir, this is a private affair of our Waterfront Chamber.”

 

After all, she had accepted a Sacred Phoenix Heart Stone from Chu Xiao.

 

The man before her eyes, Gu Changge, also had an extraordinary background. Even people like Zi Yunchuan and Zhao Tianfan could only cautiously stay by his side.

 

However, Chu Xiao, who easily gave her a Sacred Phoenix Heart Stone, could not be underestimated either.

 

In Madam Liu’s opinion, even people like Zi Yunchuan and Zhao Tianfan were not comparable to Chu Xiao.

 

She would not dare to cross the line, though. Since she had a business to run, she had no guts to affront Gu Changge.

 

“Oh, is it a private affair?” Gu Changge swept her a glance and waved his sleeve.

 

A piece of translucent jade the size of a fist landed beside Madam Liu’s feet. It exuded a celestial aura and looked like a small Human.

 

“What about now?” Gu Changge still spoke calmly.

 

“This is…” Madam Liu was startled for a moment before her eyes widened in disbelief.

 

“Brother Gu?”

 

Just then, people like Zi Yunchuan, Zhao Tianfan, and Fairy Cai Yun arrived and looked quizzically at Gu Changge.

 

In their opinion, it was not  a wise decision to offend the man in luxurious clothes inside the private room because of a performer.

 

They believed Gu Changge knew the value of the Sacred Phoenix Heart Stone.

 

However, when they saw the beautiful jade beside Madam Liu’s feet, they were flabbergasted.

 

“I-It’s a Dao Source Celestial Jade!”

 

Ming Ying from Jade Void Palace felt his throat tightening. He moved his gaze away from the jade with difficulty.

 

In the nearby rooms, many guests could recognise the Celestial Jade that looked like a small Human.

 

The place broke into a commotion. Sacred Phoenix Heart Stones were materials used for making Immortal Emperor Artifacts. On the other hand, Dao Source Celestial Jade was something Dao Realm experts would go to war over.

 

Not only was it extremely rare, but it was also invaluable.

 

A few million years ago, a piece of Dao Source Celestial Jade appeared in Southbarren Ancient Territory. This caused several Dao Realm experts to show up and fight over it. As a result, several Great Universes were destroyed.

 

No one had expected that a Dao Source Celestial Jade would appear in the humble Waterfront Chamber. What was more, it was not a small piece.

 

Some disciples from the Major Forces suspected that they were mistaken. They compared this Dao Source Celestial Jade with what was described in the books.

 

If this place was somewhere else, the cultivators might not recognise the item. It never crossed their minds that such a divine item would appear here.

 

“S-Sir, please don’t torture me like this.” Madam Liu came to her senses and spoke in a trembling voice. She fearfully picked up the Dao Source Celestial Jade in an attempt to return it to Gu Changge.

 

She could greedily take the Sacred Phoenix Heart Stone, but she would never dare to accept the Dao Source Celestial Jade even if it was given to her for free.

 

Nevertheless, Gu Changge only took a glance at her and ignored her.

 

“Lady Cai Yun.” Madam Liu knew Fairy Cai Yun, so she hurriedly glanced at her to seek help. She hoped Fairy Cai Yun would lend her a helping hand.

 

Fairy Cai Yun frowned at Madam Liu but remained silent as well.

 

She knew the rules of the Waterfront Chamber. After all, it was the business of Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion. Madam Liu had done nothing wrong.

 

Nevertheless, she did not expect that Gu Changge would step forward and stand up for this young woman.

 

She too found it difficult to breathe when she looked at the Dao Source Celestial Jade. She became even more determined to get closer to Gu Changge.

 

Inside the private room, Chu Xiao, who donned a playful smile, did not expect that someone would interfere in this matter and kill his fun. His face was stiff for a moment before his eyebrows wrinkled with displeasure.

 

He laughed. “How fun. That person has the guts to go against me when I’ve set my eyes on that woman. So what if he can take out a Dao Source Celestial Jade?”

 

Soon, he sneered and rose from the chair. Then, he opened his folding fan and stepped out of his room while shaking his head.

 

He had come across similar incidents before, but he had never cared, nor was there a need for him to.

 

As the Son of the most powerful figure in Land of Celestial Suffering, he would never put up with someone disgracing him.

 

He initially thought it would be a boring night. However, he became high-spirited when someone interfered in his affairs. What he was most afraid of was in fact bordem!
