Martial Arts: Starting from a Seemingly Real System

"She really came out. Hey, she went downstairs!"

The old men on the second floor immediately beat their chests and stamped their feet in disappointment, watching the opportunity slip away.

The young men on the first floor were excited with tears in their eyes, as their chance had come.

"Here she comes, eh? She's going to the poor side."

Although the scholars on the first floor are not as rich as the rich men on the second floor, there are still rich and poor people on the first floor, and the divisions are obvious.

Otherwise, how can people be divided into groups? People with sufficient financial resources usually sit together, while those who are in financial difficulties sit in another group.

Otherwise, we are all poor, spending less than 20 taels, and suddenly someone who spends more than 50 taels comes and sits here, wouldn't it be eye-catching? He would also feel uncomfortable, right?

Of course, except for a shameless guy who knows nothing.

Xiaoyue went to the area where scholars gathered. These scholars' eyes suddenly lit up, and they held their heads high and chests puffed out like crowing roosters.

Their victory will prove that talent is more important than money.

"Brother Ye, is she coming towards us?" Brother Lin asked stutteringly. Could it be that my years of literary talent have impressed Miss Yu Lu?

"Yes, yes, I feel Sister Xiaoyue is looking at me!" Brother Ye's delicate little heart was beating wildly, his long-cherished wish was finally coming true!

"No...yes, she is looking at Brother Xiao!" Brother Chu was still cool, but his voice was a little trembling.

"Is... is that so?" Brother Xiao's mouth was dry. Sister Xiaoyue really came to his side.

What should I do? What should I say first? My tongue seems to be a little straight.

Little Moon...

No, that's too arrogant.

Sister Yue'er?

That’s not right, it’s a bit flattering.

Miss Moon?

Yes, this is good, polite yet steady.

Xiao Yue'er had already walked in front of Brother Xiao, and the scholar stood up hurriedly, "Miss Yue... Miss Yue'er..."

Xiao Yueer did not stop, but walked past Brother Xiao and walked to the table behind him, smiling sweetly, "Sir, the lady invites you!"

"Me?" Qiao Rui was surprised, but after a little thought he understood. He thought that Yu Lu recognized him when he whistled.

He swore that he was only here to investigate the missing case of Xiao Yunlei. To find a brothel girl who could perform Qinggong, he had to start from the largest Yunyu Tower. He definitely had no intention of taking the opportunity to meet the courtesan in private.

I don't know if Tian Jing will misunderstand if she finds out, and the Grand Commander...

Hey, why should I care about the attitude of the Grand Commander? This is not official business.

Forget it. The Grand Commander has been acting a little abnormal recently. It’s better not to provoke him. Just don’t see him. If you need anything, you can go to the carriage and horse shop to find Lao Chen, or you can find Hong Gang.

It was through Lao Chen that he reported the results of the investigation into Gou Erdan's disappearance.

At this moment, many thoughts flashed through Qiao Rui's mind. Seeing Xiaoyue smiling sweetly at him, he also smiled, nodded and stood up.

Then let's go and meet this world's top romance star to see if we can get any useful clues.

When Qiao Rui followed Xiao Yue'er upstairs, Brother Xiao, who was standing stiffly by the side, had a red face and was filled with shame, but his heart was full of disbelief.

It wasn't me? It was that vulgar bumpkin?

"Chu, Brother Chu, are you sure you saw that ruffian didn't buy the treasure box?" Brother Xiao looked at the guy opposite with a resentful expression.

Brother Chu shook his head and didn't reply. He looked very confused. I clearly saw that he didn't move...

Going up to the fourth floor, Yue'er led Qiao Rui into a large room.

The layout of the room is extremely elegant, with few furnishings, but they are very sophisticated.

The only thing that was out of place was a long table at the top, which was piled with wooden boxes.

"Miss is taking a bath, come out immediately!"

Xiaoyue gestured to Qiao Rui to sit aside and wait, while she knelt beside the table and opened the wooden box.

Put the gold and silver bills together, the jewelry and jade in a pile, the antiques and calligraphy and paintings separately, and the poems and songs... crumple them into a ball and throw them into the trash can.

"Don't you want to take a look? After all, it's someone else's hard work." Qiao Rui was shocked. If those scholars saw the poems and songs he wrote as if they were treasures, and they were discarded so ruthlessly, without even the chance to see the courtesan, would he faint from tears?

"Miss, I would have taken a look at them before, but after seeing you today, I don't want to look at them anymore. I wouldn't have chosen them even if I had looked at them. Why bother wasting my time?" Xiao Yue said crisply, and smiled sweetly at Qiao Rui.

As the young lady's personal maid, she would be nice to whoever the young lady liked.

"Uh..." Qiao Rui touched his nose and smiled awkwardly.

Xiaoyue was very efficient and quickly finished sorting things out, putting away what needed to be put away and throwing away what needed to be thrown away, then quietly left the room.

Without the sound of Xiaoyue'er working, the room suddenly became quiet. Only then did Qiao Rui hear the faint sound of water splashing coming from the inner room.

This scene seems familiar, the same two rooms, he is waiting in the outer room, she is washing in the inner room...

"What are you thinking about, Master?"

A delicate and charming voice sounded, and Qiao Rui looked up and saw a beautiful lady, graceful and elegant, coming towards him.

The beauty's body swayed as if she had no bones, and her wide robe was loosely wrapped around her delicate body like mutton-fat jade, making people want to grab the open corner of her clothes and make a "swish", then press her to the ground and ravage her.

The bright sapphire eyes were full of exotic charm, the rosy pink cheeks were made particularly red by the heat, making people salivate, and the long brown, slightly curly hair was still emitting steam.

What a beauty emerging from the bath, what a charming lady.

Qiao Rui's throat moved, he swallowed his saliva, and took the initiative to greet him, "Miss Yu Lu, what do you want to see me for?"

"Why are you sitting so far away? Come over and talk to me, why are you so distant to me?" Yu Lu gave Qiao Rui a coquettish look and pointed at the soft cushion under the desk.

She herself sat at the upper table, leaning against it, her right hand resting on her cheek. Her loose sleeves slipped down, revealing a pair of slender arms as delicate as tender lotus roots.

Seeing Yu Lu say this, Qiao Rui didn't bother to be polite. He came over and knelt on the cushion below. The two of them were one above and one below, separated only by a table. A light and elegant fragrance permeated their hearts.

"It's been nearly half a year since we last met in Luoyang, and you haven't come to see me once. It's really sad!" Yu Lu looked at Qiao Rui with resentment, looking very aggrieved.

"I'm busy. There's a lot going on lately and I can't get away!" Qiao Rui explained with a dry laugh, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at the beautiful woman's delicate little feet exposed.

Yu Lu sat sideways with her lower body, her legs naturally bent, curled up in her robe, revealing only one soft, delicate jade foot at the very bottom where the hem of her robe could not cover it.

There was a thin red rope tied around the ankle, also strung with jade beads, which was similar to the one Huang Jingxuan picked up. However, the red rope of the girl who had danced the Hu Xuan dance on the flower bed in the hall seemed to be strung with small carved jade ornaments instead of jade beads. I don't know if there is any connection between the two.

Feeling Qiao Rui's furtive gaze, Yu Lu's face flashed with shyness. She adjusted the hem of her clothes, retracted her jade feet, and glared at Qiao Rui in reproach.

"Yes, the young master has a beautiful new bride by his side, and he is busy with his wedding night, so naturally he has completely forgotten about me, the old one."

Qiao Rui knew that one should not look at a girl's feet casually. When he was caught in the act, his face turned red. Hearing Yu Lu's complaints, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that the news of his stealing of Yu Lu's love had spread throughout the world.

But don’t talk nonsense about newcomers or old people. What if people misunderstand you?
