Chapter 106 - Serious Matter
"Aren't you going to invite me in?"
"Ah yes, of course. Please, come in."

Jiang Mei showed Yao Wu in, then offered her a cup of tea, but she immediately declined.
"Elder Yao, what brings you here?"
Yao Wu hardly paid any attention to Jiang Mei. She just snooped around as if she was looking for something... or someone.
Finally, her eyebrows perked up in surprise. She then turned to Jiang Mei then asked,
"What are you hiding in there?"
She pointed at the wall, but Jiang Mei knew it wasn't an ordinary wall, she was just surprised that she could discover it so quickly.
Even though it looked like it was just part of the wall, it actually was a door disguised with a strong illusionary technique. A technique that only an elder from the inner court could perform.
To Yao Wu, it was still extremely weak, but for the inner and outer court elders she knew it must've seemed like a powerful technique.
"That room is where I take care of private matters. It's not something you should be concerned with," Jiang Mei said in an attempt to dissuade her from entering.
Without waiting for Jiang Mei's response, Yao Wu was already taking down the concealment barrier then opened the door. She knew whatever was inside must've been a big secret to have such a strong concealment barrier used to hide it.
Seeing Yao Wu walk inside, Jiang Mei nervously followed close behind her.
When Yao Wu entered the room, her nose was hit by a very pleasant smell. It wasn't just some ordinary aroma, the scent itself was an aphrodisiac, so Yao Wu put a sleeve up over her nose.
Su Yun thought it was a good idea to put some aphrodisiac candles in the room to get the elders into the mood.
However, for the smell to be so strong to even make Yao Wu blush after taking a whiff of it was telling. The reason it was so strong was because Xiao Fang had infused his dual cultivation qi into it to amplify its effects.
Just from the smell, Yao Wu could tell what this room was used for, but the thing that confirmed it for her was the messy clear liquid that was splattered all over the floor and walls. Whatever happened in here, it wasn't innocent.
The liquid was still warm to the touch.
'Could it be Ye Rong's,' Yao Wu thought in shock.
If an inner court elders was involved then it would make this a serious matter. Using rank to bully or harass those in the lower courts was a serious crime. If Ye Rong was forcing Da Long to sleep with her then the disciplinary department would certainly need to be involved.
She found their sex dungeon, she knew who the culprits were, but the only thing missing was the man. Where is Da Long?
'He must still be here,' Yao Wu thought.
She quickly left the room then started searching the rest of Jiang Mei's large residence.
"Ah wait," Jiang Mei said in panic as she tried to catch up to her. She knew no matter what she said it wouldn't stop her from searching the house, but she didn't know what else to do.
Meanwhile in the bathhouse, the sound of lightly splashing water, and soft kisses could be heard. The way Xiao Fang was holding Su Yun and groping her slipper skin was anything but cleaning. It was as if they were a lustful couple left alone to explore their wildest imaginations.
Xiao Fang could easily hear all the commotion Yao Wu was making so he warned Su Yun then got out of the bath. She watched him dry and dressed himself, but the moment she looked away, he disappeared.
In the next moment, Yao Wu entered the bathhouse. Following close behind her was Jiang Mei with a worried face.
"Elder Yao, what a pleasant surprise. Would you be interested to join me?" Su Yun spoke.
Yao Wu ignored her then quickly started to search all of the sauna rooms, but she still couldn't find him.
Su Yun and Jiang Mei were both shocked.
While Yao Wu was searching for Xiao Fang, Jiang Mei looked at Su Yun as if to ask her where he was, but the expression on Su Yun's face told her that she didn't know.
Jiang Mei, finally spoke again to Yao Wu, but this time with a bit more confidence.
"Elder Yao, did you find what you were looking for?"
Jiang Mei was a mere Outer Court Elder, so even if she had some grievances or complaints she needed to keep them in, as to not provoke someone like Yao Wu.
Yao Wu finally spoke.
"Jiang Mei, I am looking for the one known as Da Long. Do you know where he is?"
"I do not. Is he in some kind of trouble?"
"Why I am looking for him is none of your concern. It's only important that I find him."
Su Yun interjected, "Perhaps you've heard the rumors. Could it be that you are also interested in his services?"
To Su Yun, every hole was a goal. 'The bigger the name, the bigger the gains,' she would say. And who else was a bigger name than the head of the Black Paradise sect's disciplinary department, besides the Matriarch herself.
Yao Wu paused and seemed to be at a loss for words.
She couldn't say that she wanted to see him in that way, nor could she reveal the secret mission given to her by the Matriarch, so she simply told Jiang Mei one last time to let her know if she ever sees him.
When Yao Wu left, Xiao Fang came out of [ Stealth ], but Jiang Mei and Su Yun didn't see him until he was only a few meters away.
"Da Long, how did you..."
"I used a special technique, I'll tell you about it another time."
"That Yao Wu, why do you think she's looking for you?" Jiang Mei asked worriedly.
"I don't know, but something doesn't seem right. We should cancel my appointments for today, just to be safe."
"I can take care of that," Su Yun said.
Xiao Fang nodded then turned to leave.
"Da Long, where are you going?" Jiang Mei asked.
"Since we are done for today, I'll be heading back home to rest."
Xiao Fang was a mysterious person, so Jiang Mei didn't even know where he lived.
"Where can we find you?"
Xiao Fang kept walking away as he was putting his blindfold on.
"I'll find you."
With that being said, he used [ Stealth ] and gradually disappeared right before their eyes.
Su Yun's jaw dropped.
She was going to warn him that it would be too dangerous to leave the house because Yao Wu was still out there looking for him, but it seemed that he had nothing to be worried about.
