Lala, Momo and Nana had already taken a bath and changed into fresh clothes. The three sisters sat quietly in the room, their heads lowered, as though waiting for Tyler to decide their fate. Across from them, Suzuka couldn’t help recalling what had happened earlier.
---
"Y-Young Master... don’t... don’t you want us anymore?"
Tyler looked genuinely puzzled.
"Eh? I don’t understand. Can’t you simply return to Young Master Yun?"
Momo shook her head.
"As we said before, Young Master Yun’s cultivation art requires him to keep maidens with pure yin by his side. Every few years, new girls are brought into the residence."
She smiled bitterly.
"If we return now, we’ll most likely be sent to one of the Yun Family’s branch households."
Nana lowered her head.
"To Young Master Yun, we’re merely attendants. We’ve already been given away."
Lala took a deep breath before speaking.
"The three of us were wrong to betray you."
She looked Tyler straight in the eye.
"But we never intended to harm you. We only wanted to report what we had learned. We made sure nothing we revealed would threaten your life."
After a brief pause, she continued,
"We don’t hate you... nor do we wish to leave. Whatever punishment Young Master decides... we’ll accept it."
Nana hurriedly added,
"D-Don’t misunderstand! It’s not because we... like you or anything..."
Her voice became quieter and quieter until she could barely be heard.

Remembering that conversation, Suzuka sighed inwardly.
These three sisters...
She could understand them to some extent.
If she were forced to choose between loyalty and the person she cherished...
Even she wasn’t certain what choice she would make.
Tyler, who had been silent all this time, suddenly smiled.
"Alright. I’ve changed my mind."
The three sisters immediately raised their heads.
Tyler took out a brush and quickly wrote a short letter.
After folding it neatly, he handed it to Lala.
"I need one of you to deliver this to Young Master Yun."
Lala accepted it respectfully.
"And remember," Tyler said calmly, "don’t say anything besides the fact that you were discovered."
Momo blinked.
"But... you haven’t made us sign another contract yet."
Tyler smiled.
"I don’t need to."
He pointed towards the other three sisters.
"This time, only the two of you staying behind will sign it."
The room suddenly became silent.
Tyler’s smile didn’t change.
"If the messenger betrays me again..." His voice remained calm. "The remaining two sisters will pay the price."
The three sisters froze.
Even Suzuka looked at Tyler in surprise.
After a long silence, Lala slowly stepped forward.
"I’ll go."
Neither Momo nor Nana objected.
The eldest sister had always been the one to shoulder the burden whenever the three had to make a difficult choice.
...
Several hours later...
Inside the Yun Family residence...
Yun Feng watched Lala leave after delivering the letter.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
"It feels rather strange."
He folded his fan.
"Like an elder brother sending his younger sisters to her husband’s family."
The servant’s expression became awkward.
"Young Master... that’s a rather unusual comparison."
Yun Feng laughed.
"Perhaps." He looked towards the departing figure. "Prepare another group of attendants."
"As you command."
The servant immediately bowed.
Although Yun Feng regarded attendants as resources for his cultivation path, that didn’t mean he felt absolutely nothing.
After all, the three sisters had followed him for years.
He simply valued his family’s plans and his own cultivation more than personal attachments.
Looking at the letter in his hand, he muttered,
"Take good care of them. The kind of person who can buy an entire shop without blinking just for a statue that his woman had eye on."
He opened the letter.
> Don’t worry about the three sisters. I’ll take good care of them. Well, They don’t belong to you anymore.
Still... sending people away without a dowry seems a little stingy. I’ll tell you a secret instead.
I have a way to leave Moon Hawk City without going through the inspection.
Yun Feng read the final sentence several times before chuckling.
His servant looked puzzled. "Young Master?"
Yun Feng casually handed him the letter.
"Do you know why he wrote this?"
The servant carefully thought about it before shaking his head. "This subordinate is too dull."
Yun Feng smiled.
"Dowry?" He laughed. "What nonsense. He’s using me."
The servant blinked, "Using... Young Master?"
Yun Feng nodded.
"If this news about him having a way to leave the city Without inspection spreads throughout the city, who do you think will come looking for him first?"
Realization slowly dawned on the servant, "The mysterious swordsman..."
"Exactly." Yun Feng folded the letter. "He wants me to spread the rumor for him."
He laughed even harder. "What a sly fellow."
For a moment, he simply admired Tyler’s boldness.
Using the Yun Family to advertise his own trap... Very few people would dare do such a thing.
After a moment, Yun Feng turned the letter over.
On the back was another line written in large characters.
P.S. The wealthy, handsome and slightly lustful young master often visits the Pink Street.
Yun Feng stared at it.
The corner of his mouth twitched.
"...This fellow."
┉┈ ◈ ◉ ◈ ┈┉
That evening, the bustling Pink Street welcomed a new visitor.
A young man dressed in an elegant robe woven from White Dragonworm Silk leisurely strolled down the street. Two breathtaking beauties followed closely behind him like loyal bodyguards, while three equally beautiful triplet maids walked a few steps behind, attracting countless envious gazes.
The moment he entered the street, every brothel owner and prostitute secretly began sizing him up.
His robes alone were worth more than what an ordinary cultivator could earn in several years.
He leisurely admired the scenery as though he had come merely for a casual walk. Whenever he found something pleasing to the eye, like a girl with big butt or big breasts. He casually fondles them and tossed out spirit stones without the slightest hesitation.
One girl merely greeted him with an elegant bow showing cleavage. He rewarded her with a spirit stone.
Another gracefully walked past with perfect posture.
He nodded in appreciation and flicked another spirit stone toward her.
Before long, whispers spread throughout Pink Street.
"A wealthy young master has arrived. He throws spirit stones around as though they were pebbles. Where did such a rich young master come from?"
His reputation spread even further when he entered one of the largest brothels on the street.
Instead of bargaining like everyone else, Tyler simply placed twice the required payment on the counter.
"I’ll rent the room."
The madam’s eyes widened.
"Young Master... this is double the price."
He waved his hand indifferently.
"Keep the change."
The madam’s smile blossomed like a flower.
Before noon, nearly everyone on Pink Street had heard of the mysterious young man.
Some called him the Rich Young Master.
Others, after hearing that he had rented a room in a brothel without hesitation, quietly gave him another nickname.
The Lustful Rich Young Master.
He, however, remained completely unaware that his carefully crafted disguise was becoming more famous than he had expected. His only goal was to let one particular rumor spread throughout Moon Hawk City.
Tyler casually sat in the private hall, took a sip of tea, and looked at the madam standing respectfully before him.
"I have only one request."
The madam immediately bowed.
"Please instruct me, Young Master."
"I want the most talented courtesans from every major brothel on Pink Street gathered here."
The madam blinked.
"All... all of them?"
Tyler nodded.
"I’ll pay double their daily earnings."
He casually placed several high-grade spirit stones on the table.
"Bring them here. Now."
The madam’s eyes widened.
Without another word, she grabbed the spirit stones and hurried out of the room.
Within an hour, the entire Pink Street was in an uproar.
"The mysterious wealthy young master is recruiting beauties from every brothel!"
"He’s paying double!"
"Double?"
"That’s right! Double their usual earnings!"
One by one, beautifully dressed courtesans voluntarily left their own establishments and headed toward the same brothel.
Some came out of curiosity.
Some came because of the generous payment.
Others simply wanted to see what kind of extravagant young master could casually spend spirit stones like flowing water.
For the first time in many years, one of the largest brothels on Pink Street closed its doors to ordinary customers.
A notice was even hung outside.
Closed for private reservation.
No men were allowed to enter.
The sole exception...
Was the mysterious young man everyone had begun calling the Lustful Rich Young Master.
His reputation spread through Moon Hawk City at an astonishing speed.
Some mocked him.
Some envied him.
Many wished they possessed even a fraction of his wealth.
Meanwhile, another rumor quietly began spreading among the courtesans.
Apparently, after enjoying couple of girls, the Lustful Rich Young Master had proudly boasted that he possessed a method to leave Moon Hawk City without undergoing the city’s inspection.
At first, very few believed such an outrageous claim.
However, another piece of news soon surfaced.
The three famous maids on his sides had once served the Yun Family was a gift given to this mysterious young master.
Suddenly, the earlier rumor no longer sounded impossible.
"If it’s him... He might actually have a way."
"Is he from big family?"
