Red Dust Daqian

Qianmu Hall was developing step by step under the management of Shen Qianrou. After becoming an apprentice divine envoy, Huaxi Shrine had not given Zhou Sen any tasks. Although Li Qi of Meihua Division had cooperated with Zhou Sen, there was no specific plan, and Zhou Sen was allowed to develop on his own.

For a period of time, Zhou Sen had nothing to do all day. He went to Huaxi Tower secretly several times, hoping to try his luck to find some clues, or meet the girl from Changnan County. Although he was blindfolded when he went there, maybe after a few times he could guess where the Huaxi Shrine was. Even if none of the above happened, Huaxi Tower was still a paradise for men, and eating, drinking and enjoying himself was inevitable.

Why did they go there secretly? Ever since Xiangcao saw the true appearance of Huaxilou, she couldn't stand Zhou Sen talking about going there. No matter what Zhou Sen's reasons were, Xiangcao believed that Zhou Sen's purpose was not pure, and he was definitely looking for prostitutes, so she beat him up every time she found him. Zhou Sen had no choice but to sneak to Huaxilou when Xiangcao was out. He was caught once, and the next day he was so miserable that he couldn't even get out of bed.

Zhou Sen occasionally met Li Qinwei in Huaxi Tower. He had also become an apprentice divine envoy but had not received any official missions, so he could only try his luck in Huaxi Tower. However, Li Qinwei acted like a gentleman, which was a bit abrupt and out of place in a place like Huaxi Tower. If the girls were to guess, they would have thought that Li Qinwei was from the Taoist school.

Although he came to Huaxilou many times, due to his lack of authority, he could only admire the girls and enjoy the food, so Zhou Sen was not able to dig out any specific secrets.

I only know some general information about the girls. The girls in Huaxilou came from all over Daqian. Some were abducted, more were sold to Huaxilou for various reasons, and some were brought up in Huaxilou since childhood. Their tragic fates were different.

Zhou Sen had not come across the Changnan girls he wanted to find after several attempts. It was not easy to meet those girls among the hundreds of maids in Huaxi Tower. It was even possible that they were arranged to other Huaxi Towers. It seemed that if Zhou Sen wanted to find the Changnan girls and upgrade his authority to become a true Huaxi Divine Envoy, it was an inevitable process.

Another piece of news that caught Zhou Sen's attention was that there had never been a precedent of a girl escaping successfully from Huaxi Tower, and it was impossible to redeem them. The girls here often received VIPs from Huaxi Tower, and they might know some secrets that Huaxi Tower didn't tell anyone. Therefore, the people of Huaxi Shrine dared not let these girls leave, and the girls of Huaxi Tower could only die of old age in Huaxi Tower. After some research, Zhou Sen found a loophole in the rules that could be exploited. After becoming a formal Huaxi God's Envoy, he had the right to choose a few girls to serve him out of the building, but the girls could not leave Jiangxia Prefecture and needed to report their whereabouts to Huaxi Tower regularly.

The girls in Huaxi Tower, like the envoys of God, have eaten poisonous insects and need antidotes every month. There is no other way to rescue the girls here unless Huaxi Tower is destroyed or Zhou Sen completely takes control of Huaxi Tower.

What made Zhou Sen happy was that Li Qi seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth during this period of time and never appeared in front of Zhou Sen. Zhou Sen couldn't bear to see Xiangcao meet Li Qi. When Xiangcao saw Li Qi, she looked like a nympho, and Zhou Sen was jealous to death just thinking about it.

But for some reason, Li Ning'er often appeared in Qianmu Hall and became good friends with Xiangcao and Shen Yue'er. Xiangcao taught the two to practice swordsmanship, and they would go shopping and have fun together after work; Shen Qianrou was left alone to suffer and take on the trivial matters of Qianmu Hall. Zhou Sen felt indignant for Shen Qianrou.

After a period of waiting, Zhou Sen finally received the first mission from Huaxi Shrine. It was to let Zhou Sen develop Shen Qianrou, the head of Qianmu Hall, to become a Huaxi envoy. Damn, develop Shen Qianrou? If it was a monster-killing game, wouldn't this mission just be giving yourself points?

It seems that Qianmutang's development over this period of time has attracted the attention of Huaxi Shrine. It was Madam Fengrun who issued the task to Zhou Sen. Zhou Sen learned from Madam Fengrun that Huaxi Shrine wanted to win over Qianmutang. They believed that Qianmutang had great potential and its development speed was unprecedented in Jiangxia Prefecture for many years. In the later period, it would definitely monopolize the ceramic market in Jiangxia Prefecture. Such forces in Jiangxia Prefecture should either be won over to become vassals of Huaxi Shrine or be completely destroyed.

Although Shen Qianrou is Zhou Sen's person, Zhou Sen is not stupid enough to directly agree to take on the task from Huaxi Shrine.

Zhou Sen told Huaxi Shrine that the task given to him was too difficult, almost impossible. He was a Taoist priest, and although he had met Master Shen once at the poetry conference, he was not familiar with her. Moreover, the eating, drinking and entertainment places of Huaxi Tower should not be attractive to a beautiful master like Qianmu Hall.

Zhou Sen wanted to know what conditions Huaxi Shrine could offer Qianmutang to attract Qianmutang to join. He wanted to bargain for Qianmutang, but Mrs. Fengrun was just a messenger after all, without real power. She hesitated for a long time and didn't say anything. She just asked Zhou Sen to do it first, and she would apply for conditions to Huaxi Shrine when she returned.

When Mrs. Fengrun left, she directly expressed to Zhou Sen: "If you want to operate stably in Jiangxia Prefecture and become a powerful force, no force can do it without leaving the Huaxi Shrine. The stable operation of Qianmutang now is only because Huaxi Shrine wants to see the potential of Qianmutang and turns a blind eye. Once Qianmutang refuses to join Huaxi Shrine, it will suffer a devastating disaster in Jiangxia Prefecture." It was a big tone, but Zhou Sen believed that Huaxi Shrine did have this strength.

Zhou Sen did not insist on getting conditions for Qianmutang. After all, even if he joined later, it was just a formality. However, after taking on this task, Zhou Sen could enter and leave Qianmutang openly.

Zhou Sen was also unambiguous. After Madam Fengrun left the inn, he ran directly to Qianmu Hall. Since the charity porridge distribution began, Zhou Sen had not been to Qianmu Hall during the day for a long time.

In Qianmu Hall, Shen Qianrou saw Zhou Sen openly appearing in front of her again. She was surprised and a little strange. Because the scandal between the two of them was spreading in Jiangxia Prefecture, had Zhou Sen been avoiding Qianmu Hall in order not to affect it? Why did he come to Qianmu Hall in such a swagger today?

Shen Qianrou, who was confused, acted as if she was really having an affair with Zhou Sen and was afraid of being discovered by outsiders, so she quickly pulled Zhou Sen into the back hall. Her intimate and artificial behavior made Zhou Sen completely understand a word: there is something fishy going on here.

It was nothing at first, but after Shen Qianrou's outrageous move, others would be sorry if they didn't get suspicious.
