When Chen Ping'an regained consciousness, the moon was already hanging high in the sky. Perhaps it was due to the saber and sword by his hips, but the owner of the wine shop hadn't dared to shoo him away. Instead, he had pinched his nose and allowed this traveler to occupy the table without buying anything else. In the end, Chen Ping'an had given the owner some extra silver coins, with the sudden wealth falling from the skies causing the owner to become very happy.2

Chen Ping'an slowly strolled back to Champion Scholar Alley. The brothels had little business, and the beautiful women who worked there were mostly leaning over the railings in a lazy manner. Chen Ping'an glanced up, and he discovered that these women were wearing much lighter makeup than usual.

The women in her brothel and the surrounding brothels instantly started to make noise and shout at each other, not holding back as they swore and threw around lewd words. Chen Ping'an easily dodged the embroidered handkerchief. 0
