Chapter 376: Chapter 376

Go have a look, consider it a learning experience.

It’s not a problem, right?

So, afterwards, he specifically asked about the location of the Nine Immortals Tower, tipped the servant a silver ingot, and then left the inn.

Just at that moment, Qin Ying happened to come down from upstairs and immediately asked.

The servant was visibly a little dazed, but quickly responded, smiling, "Madam, the young master just asked about the special places in the city!"

Of course, he couldn’t mention the Nine Immortals Tower, as it’s a brothel.

Moreover, for some reason, he felt a bit afraid of this lady.

If she found out that he directed someone to a brothel, she might cause trouble for him.

As an inn servant, he needed to have this bit of foresight. Googlᴇ search 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱

Qin Ying nodded, then instructed, "Prepare some food and send it up!"

He repeated in his heart.

Then he returned to the room again.

On the street, Chen Xuan wandered aimlessly, as it was still noon and brothels generally started in the evenings.

Going too early would be pointless.

"Ancient Moon Studio"

Chen Xuan stopped in front of a three-story shop.

"I wonder if this Jiuyue Mansion has anyone who can understand the words in the Ancient Book?"

With nothing better to do, he decided to go in.

As soon as he entered, a scent of ink mixed with the fragrance of books greeted him.

"It’s truly remarkable!"

Just by taking a few breaths of the fragrance here, he felt a refreshing sense of clarity.

Chen Xuan nodded repeatedly, then surveyed the situation inside.

Very simple, none of the flashy decorations.

Chen Xuan walked to the bookshelves, touched the shelf, and then sniffed it.

The refreshing smell was actually emanating from this bookshelf.

"This is made of millennium-old sandalwood!"

Just then, a clear female voice came from behind.

Chen Xuan suddenly understood and then turned around. When he saw the woman, his eyes lit up.

With a jade-like face and elegant eyebrows, she wore a pure white dress like snow and held a scroll in her hand, her demeanor was serene and elegant.

Her whole presence exuded a scholarly aura.

At this moment, a slight smile graced her face as she looked at Chen Xuan.

Just one glance made people feel a sense of inferiority.

"Is this the power of a cultured person?"

Chen Xuan muttered in his heart.

Then he slightly bowed, "Greetings, young lady."

The woman returned his greeting with her hands in a salute, then asked, "Sir, are you here to buy books or paper?"

Gu Pengyou assessed the man in front of her, with a jade-like face and decent manners and speech.

Especially the way he looked at her just now, without a single impurity.

Compared to those frivolous young masters, he was indeed a breath of fresh air.

"Not buying books nor paper!"

Chen Xuan said plainly.

This answer made Gu Pengyou’s brows slightly raise, and the smile on her face disappeared, followed by a colder tone.

"Then sir, you do not belong here. My bookstore only has books and precious paper."

She directly asked him to leave.

Chen Xuan found this increasingly interesting.

Doing business with open doors, even if you don’t buy anything, they wouldn’t directly ask you to leave.

This woman... instantly piqued Chen Xuan’s interest.

So he asked leisurely, "Young lady, do you know how to read?"

This time, Gu Pengyou furrowed her brows even deeper, looking at him with even more disgust. She then turned away, "Please leave Ancient Moon Studio immediately. You are not welcome here! If you continue to fool around, don’t blame me for being impolite!"

Any good impression she had of him was entirely gone.

Running a bookstore and not knowing how to read?
