When a person is extremely busy and entirely focused on what they are doing, the passage of time has quickly passed by before noticing it, which the early morning before has almost turned into an afternoon.

"Failed…"

And standing on a tree branch, Shao Cheng has let out a deep sigh while the back of his robes was already drenched in sweats showing how much work he has been doing after being separated from Ren Yuan early in the morning.

Particularly when Shao Cheng didn't found the person that he has been looking for in the list of places that Pengfei has given him before.

Soon, Shao Cheng has once more taken out the tiny scroll stored inside his sleeves before checking the remaining place that he didn't investigate with one more time.

"...the red light district…"

Shao Cheng doesn't want to easily set foot in that kind place and it wasn't because it's a pleasure district but there is just numerous unknown force secretly place in there, either the underworld people, foreigners and the aristocrat family in the Chang Empire.

After all, the red light district is a great place to dig most of the people's dirty secrets while also an excellent gathering site for getting information, although this world is an ancient era, however, the people here aren't someone that could be underestimated with, especially people like Shao Cheng that has come from a modern world.

Damn, most of those novels he once read on Earth are so misleading on so many levels, these people are someone that couldn't be easily deceived, cheated, and play with.

Shao Cheng has let out a deep sigh once more after remembering all the indigenous, sly, and downright evil people he met previously before finally deciding to change his appearance in a meticulous approach rather than changing his eye color and having a silver mask on.

"... have to finish fast since Yuan will be back soon…"

Ren Yuan figure has suddenly appeared in Shao Cheng's mind while gazing upon the bustling people in the Chang Capital street before finally leaping out and dashing to one of the many places that Pengfei has carefully bought with the money he amasses as a merchant.

Shao Cheng is utterly grateful to the Chang Spirit choice of bounding Pengfei to himself or else he would be having a hard time managing all the trouble, difficulties, and situation that he was suddenly facing in a new life.

Although, for Pengfei to be able to spread his influence in the Chang Capital this much despite being a foreigner is unquestionably something that Shao Cheng needed to considerably take note of since if Pengfei has managed to achieve this then others could also do it.

And such a situation where foreign adversaries spreading their power around the Chang Capital is already a terrifying manner, this is a hidden danger that needed to be dealt with, for now though, Shao Cheng will quietly investigate it and making a move only when the time is right.

Any great danger, crisis, and a threat to Ren Yuan reign in the future has to be greatly taken care of with utmost seriousness while it was also going to be for the Empire sake.

Soon, a slender light brown skin young man with narrowed brown eyes along with a rather handsome appearance has stepped in the popular red district of the Chang Capital while smiling and gently swaying the elegant blue fan he has in his hands and looking around the bustling place despite the sun was still high up in the sky.

"Oh~ Young man~ how about come to our place?"

"Maybe in another day my beautiful sisters~ I already have a place in mind."

"Oh my~ Alright, but we will remember your words ok!"

Shao Cheng that has been in a far deeper disguised has let out a flirty smile toward the beautiful women that were out in their establishment and was ordered to look ut for people to invite or seduce to their place.

Even if it was a red-light district, the ancient time still has to do a bit of advertisement in order to keep their business booming, while Shao Cheng has once again reacted the same way when a beautiful and delicate looking young men have also done the same thing that the beautiful women did to him a while ago.

"Charming Brothers, don't worry, I will remember you guys too!"

Although, when a gentle-looking young man has once again repeated the same process after Shao Cheng has walked a few distances away and this time he didn't refuse, rather start he has started flirting with the young man with great attention.

And after a while of Shao Cheng teasing the young man with an extraordinary smooth silver tongue like he has been doing it for so many years, effective enough that the young man cheeks have turned into a lovely shade of red has finally managed to whisper closer upon the pink ears.

Which to other people eyes that have been watching in Shao Cheng direction can only see a young man flirting to a person, particularly the fact that the young man has happily begun to escort him away and began to lead him to the establishment of where he has been working.

And the whole time, Shao Cheng couldn't help but investigate his entire surrounding since he was being cautious when the thought of Ren Yuan catching his unusual actions has abruptly emerged in his mind.

Especially when Ren Yuan usually hang out in the red light district when its almost night time.

Despite the fact that Shao Cheng could act base on the situation and has just treated the whole circumstances as something he needed to do, however, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable at the thought of showing this side of himself to Ren Yuan.

And Shao Cheng that has been unconsciously exhibiting the appearance of cheating on his lover has finally arrived in the less famous area of the red light district, which was the medium establishment that allows the male gender to serve any customer that was interested in their work.

For a world that allowed same-gender relationships, it wasn't surprising when a male establishment to serve a male costumer exists although brave and courageous women also visit the place once in a while.

Nonetheless, the female establishment was far famous in the red light district while the male side is far less, after all, even though the place was a red-light district where people went to experience pleasure time but the wise Emperor in the past has set a strict rule when it comes into this place.

No one can easily establish a pleasure house with evil and wicked management that basically treat the people as trash and garbage to use and play with, while one also has to follow certain rules.

Particularly when it's regarding a male server because the well known enlighten Emperor in the past has been famous for loving a male consort that has been taken away in this place during the time that the man was ready to fulfill his job in just a few days.

And it happened during the time that wise Emperor was secretly observing the Chang Capital, while the story that has been pass down until today stated that the Emperor was the one who has fallen in love at first sight to the male consort, which was still remembered to this day.

Although, Shao Cheng believes that the royal court would have made a great noise about it if the Emperor wasn't determined with his decision, while the male consort being chaste and pure has lessened the problem regarding his low status.

Nonetheless, the world that Shao Cheng has transmigrated with doesn't have the slave system which honestly a great concept that has been resolved since it was going to be one of the systems in the Chang Capital that he would want to change after Ren Yuan has become the Emperor if it exists.

"Young Master, please wait in this room and someone will come to serve your needs."

Shao Cheng that has been escorted to one of the private rooms of the male establishment has taken a sit on a comfortable chair before gently opening the fan in his hand and starting to fan his face while curiously looking around the place with a grin on his face.

And shortly, a handsome middle-aged man has entered the room before quickly bowing in a respectful manner after the door was tightly close, in which Shao Cheng has swiftly sensed a group of people outside the room has tightly secured the entire surrounding without showing any suspicious with how they move around with ease.

"Young Master, the planned before can be performed anytime, is there anything else would you want us to do?"

Well… Pengfei definitely trains his people well, at least it has reduced Shao Cheng dilemma dealing with his problem since he doesn't even have any single people working for him while having his hand tied up and couldn't use the power that the Shao Family held without causing any suspicious and doubt around them.

So, Shao Cheng that has been grinning the whole time has opened his mouth and began to ask in-depth relating to the other establishment in the same area, after all, the place he has arrived wasn't the one that he needed to check.

Soon, Shao Cheng with a change of appearance has once more walked out of the backdoor of the building he has entered a while ago along with another person standing by his side.

"Big Sister Niu, you know how costly a physician treatment is, particularly when it's hard asking them to come in this kind of place. We really appreciate that you have accepted to check one of our injured people."

Shao Cheng that was using the appearance and identity of one of the people in the secret establishment of Pengfei has nodded his head along with a small smile on his face causing the ugly cut in his cheek to appear more hideous before gently waving his hand in a humble manner.

Among the people Shao Cheng could choose, he can only use the mute and scared face older woman that knows how to treat people's injuries since she was the only person that could perfectly fit the criteria along with having the same body shape, particularly a useful identity in this kind of place.

In order for Shao Cheng's identity to never get exposed, he will do everything in a meticulous manner, even dressing up as an ugly older woman doesn't matter.

However, the whole time that Shao Cheng was walking in the street with the young man on his side that belong from the other establishment couldn't help but slightly lower his head after suddenly feeling the familiar presence of purple in the far distance.

And if Purple was in that place then that person isn't far away from him.

"...!"

Damn it... Purple, you better behave!
