Lin Mu's ears perked up after hearing that Lord Cai was threatened. To be honest, he had not expected it to be something like this. From what Lin Mu had seen and experienced till now the Gu Legion usually killed their foes directly instead of threatening.

Still, this did not lift Lin Mu's suspicion and he wondered if Lord Cai was lying to save his own hide.

"What exactly happened, tell us in detail." The senior brother asked.

"Well, as Seniors know my Alluring Wisteria pavilion is the top most pleasure pavilion in the county and thus makes a decent amount of revenue. Not only that, but due to our clientele, we also have some good connections. This is what the Gu legion desires.

They were threatening me to give them half of the share of the Alluring wisteria pavilion, that too without any payment; The audacity! They threatened me with dire consequences and even acted on it a while ago. Some of my servant girls have disappeared in the past few weeks.

We were unsure of it as servant girls do run away from time to time, but this was far too many of them. Still, as long as it's just servant girls I'm fine with it, they're easily replaceable. But what I cannot bear are my courtesans. These women have been trained for a long time and a lot of resources have been poured into them.

As you must have seen, all of our courtesans are fifth stage of the body tempering realm and above. This allows our more affluent clientele such as cultivators to freely enjoy them. Any weaker and the women would break from time to time. Thus you can see the costs.

Still, tonight when I saw the thief that appeared in my House I think he was one of the members of the Gu legion. His clothes were the same as the ones that they wear, but the mask he wore was a bit different. I thought that the Gu legion finally could not hold back and sent someone to assassinate me.

But seeing that the thief spared all of my servants and guards, I'm not so sure anymore." Lord Cai explained.

The three disciples were lost in thought after hearing everything and could make sense of it after a while. It was obvious why the Gu legion would want the place as it would provide them with a lot of money for their operations.

"Did you talk to the city mayor about this?" The senior brother questioned.

Mu remembered that he had seen the guards outside. It was one of the reasons why he was traveling over the roofs. Thankfully, there were barely any guards on the roof at nighttime.
