The entire situation unfolded exactly as Zheng-Fu had predicted. Earlier, he had sensed the presence of the Qing-Niang-Ji Heavenly Hall Leader upstairs, though he wasn't sure if this highly skilled martial master was the actual leader.

So, Zheng-Fu decided to have some fun by provoking a clash between the two powerful factions, taking advantage of the moment when the male monster became dissatisfied and started boasting about himself.

Once the men from the Savage Tortoise Clan left, the members of the Shadow Cloud Group followed suit. However, before leaving, the young man named Fong-Liang stopped briefly in front of Zheng-Fu's group, casting a cold gaze at them before walking away.

"What was that look supposed to mean!?" Diao exclaimed, displeased with Fong-Liang's gaze when he looked at his group, once the Shadow Cloud Group had disappeared.

"Diao, they're gone. Now you're shouting, but they can't even hear you!" Heng-Jie, standing behind Diao, interjected with an amused smile.

"Well, that's because they're gone! If they were still here, would I be saying this?" Diao quickly turned around to respond to Heng-Jie, his expression both naive and humorous. Of course, he was only pretending, trying to make it seem like he didn't want to pick a fight with the young master or the highly skilled martial masters from the Shadow Cloud Group.

Despite his words, Diao's earlier actions of confronting the Shadow Cloud Group made it clear that he had strong backing. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to speak up the way he had. His actions before were completely different from the way he was talking now.

"Really? A moment ago, you were bold enough to argue with the high-ranking members of their group," Heng-Jie chuckled, knowing that Diao wasn't being truthful. But that didn't matter to him, as he found Diao's behavior amusing.

"Yes, Elder Brother Heng-Jie! But which floor are we heading to now? I really want to meet those beauties and taste the fine liquor you mentioned!" Diao, realizing that Heng-Jie was aware of his intentions, quickly shifted the topic.

"Ah! How could I forget such an important matter? Let's hurry to the fifth floor. Tonight, there's going to be a special show by the three most beautiful girls of Qing-Niang-Ji Heavenly Hall. If we don't hurry, we might miss it!" Heng-Jie remembered the event and excitedly told Zheng-Fu's group about it.

"Then let's go. I'm looking forward to sitting down with a drink!" Zheng-Fu spoke up, knowing that Diao needed his confirmation before they moved forward.

"Alright!"

Just as the group was about to head out, a shadowy figure blocked their way. The figure belonged to none other than the Qing-Niang-Ji Heavenly Hall Leader, who had appeared earlier.

"Young Master Heng-Jie, it's an honor. Would you like the exclusive VIP room this time?" the middle-aged man asked with a smile, then glanced at Zheng-Fu's group behind Heng-Jie.

"Oh! No, thank you, no need to trouble the Qing-Niang-Ji Heavenly Hall Leader. My friends and I just want to sit in the regular seats. We don't need a special room," Heng-Jie quickly declined with a wave of his hand.

Their conversation had already become the center of attention, as everyone in the hall knew that the Qing-Niang-Ji Heavenly Hall Leader only spoke with important or powerful individuals. Yet here he was, personally offering Heng-Jie a VIP room as though he were an ordinary waiter.

"Well then, I won't trouble you any further, Young Master Heng-Jie. I'll excuse myself to attend to other matters in Qing-Niang-Ji Heavenly Hall. Until next time… Sir!"

Swish!!!

After finishing his words, the Qing-Niang-Ji Heavenly Hall Leader instantly vanished. As soon as he left, the guests began to chat loudly once again, and the main topic of discussion was how Heng-Jie had received such special treatment from the hall leader.

Ignoring the gossip around them, Heng-Jie and Zheng-Fu's group made their way to the fifth floor, aiming to find good seats to watch the show by the three most beautiful girls of Qing-Niang-Ji Heavenly Hall.

Once they arrived on the fifth floor, they quickly secured a table with a great view, allowing them to clearly see the stage, as there were fewer seats near the front.

"Qing-Niang-Ji Heavenly Hall is truly amazing. Along the way, there were so many gorgeous, plump girls. It'd be wonderful if I could get one of them to cuddle with me tonight!" Diao said excitedly as they passed by the women.

"Younger Brother! Not just one—you could have ten girls if you have enough money!" Heng-Jie, who was sitting next to him, immediately chimed in, also suggesting to Diao that he could sleep with ten women at once, as long as he had enough money to pay them.

"Ugh, I'd be happy with just one. Ten would be too much!" Diao replied with a sad expression. In truth, it wasn't that he didn't want ten girls, but he simply couldn't afford to pay for that many.

"Haha! Diao, if you really want ten girls, I'll pay for you. Don't worry. But I hope you don't die in bed before the morning comes!" Zheng-Fu knew exactly what Diao was worried about and playfully offered to solve the problem for him.

"Big Brother! Really? Do you really mean it?" Diao's eyes lit up with excitement at Zheng-Fu's offer, though he was not sure if Zheng-Fu really meant it, so he asked again.

"Of course! Why would I lie to you?" Zheng-Fu replied with a smile. Then, he turned to Jin-Tian and said, "Jin-Tian, if you'd like, you can choose a girl to sit with as well."

"Master, Luo-Qing told me not to get close to any women besides her. So, I can't sit with another girl. And Master, you're also forbidden from doing it.

Luo-Qing told me to keep an eye on you to make sure you don't get close to other women either." Jin-Tian, who had been repeatedly told by Luo-Qing not to get involved with other women, refused when Zheng-Fu told him to choose some girls to sit with, and he explained his reason for doing so.

Zheng-Fu was left speechless, shocked that Jin-Tian had been so easily influenced by Luo-Qing. Not only had she forbidden Jin-Tian from interacting with other women, but she had also tasked him with monitoring Zheng-Fu's behavior around women. This was worse than he could have imagined.

Sigh! "Jin-Tian, listen. We're not here to form relationships with these women. We just want to relax, have some fun, and then part ways afterward."

Zheng-Fu tried to change Jin-Tian's mindset. He knew that what he was suggesting wasn't exactly right, but sometimes men need to have social gatherings, and at times, they might encounter such temptations. As long as one didn't get overly consumed by them and made serious mistakes, that was enough. This was Zheng-Fu's perspective from his old world...

However, in this world, having multiple wives was not considered wrong at all. Look at the Monster King, who had many wives. So, for Zheng-Fu or Jin-Tian to have more women wouldn't be wrong either. It all depended on whether they chose to act on it or not.

Soon after Zheng-Fu and the group had taken their seats, they ordered fine liquor and delicious food, waiting in anticipation for the show to begin in about the time it took for an incense stick to burn. Everyone—from young men to old men—was looking forward to the performance.

Of course, the previously empty tables were now filling up quickly. Those who came to the fifth floor were either wealthy individuals or people with higher social standing. There were also highly skilled martial masters from various clans and forces.

"Did you hear that the young master from the Savage Tortoise Clan and the young master from the Shadow Cloud Group fought earlier?"

"Of course! This news is spreading fast. I also heard there was a third party who caused the two young masters to quarrel!"

"A third party? Who would dare provoke them? They must be from a large clan or a powerful force. But even so, it wouldn't be easy to succeed in making them clash, as those two young masters aren't fools."

"You're right. But if these two powers really go to war, the other forces won't stay idle. There could be a shift in power!"

"That's something for the future. Right now, I'm more interested in seeing the three most beautiful girls of Qing-Niang-Ji Heavenly Hall. I heard they rarely accept guests and only perform during big events like today!"

"Exactly! Let's focus on the show and forget about these stressful matters for now."

The earlier incident between the two young masters quickly became the hot topic of conversation. Some people had received complete information, while others, having only half the story, added their own embellishments, making the event widely discussed.

It wasn't just any ordinary quarrel—it involved two youths from two major powers. One represented one of the six great clans, and the other hailed from one of the five large forces. It was no surprise that people couldn't stop talking about it.

What intrigued everyone the most, however, was the rumored third party involved, as their presence suggested that this conflict wasn't going to be resolved so easily.
