With his eyes back from the stage, Bai Qiyun searched for Zhongli's whereabouts among the crowd of twos and threes.

He has not forgotten the purpose of this trip.

According to what Nan Li said, the Baht Boat and the Yanshang Teahouse are indeed one body in a sense, so Mr. Zhongli should be here.

Sure enough, among a few well-dressed people, Bai Qiyun immediately spotted Zhongli.

He sat aside and seemed to be listening to the other family members, nodding his head in agreement from time to time.

But before Bai Qiyun could move his legs, an exquisitely dressed woman walked down from the height of the bow of the ship.

"This gentleman is very handsome. What do you want to do in Baht Tianfang?"

The woman was dressed in a red and black short attire and had short shiny black hair. Her whole temperament looked very different from that of the women accompanying the guests.

If he guessed correctly, this woman should be the management of this ship, not an ordinary worker.

"In Xialuoxia, I am the receptionist of Baht Tianfang."

Sure enough, the woman in front of him revealed her identity in the next second.

As a receptionist, her work quality is much higher than that of the woman at the front desk at Iwagami Teahouse.

It is not that we receive guests with a completely working attitude, but that we get closer to the guests and get along with them like friends, but at the same time, we are not overly familiar with each other, ensuring a relatively comfortable social distance.

, can be said to be a master among receptionists.

Bai Qiyun looked at it and wanted to apply her back to his restaurant so that Shen He could learn from it.

"Well, I'm here to find someone, but it doesn't hurt to take a rest here. Is there anything interesting?"

Anyway, Zhongli was standing by and wouldn't run away. He finally came here and took this opportunity to learn more.

Hearing this, Luoxia lowered her head a little and showed half a smile. It seemed that she had gone through strict training.

"Our Baht Day Fang can be said to be the most worthwhile place to visit in Liyue Port. Here you can get many things that the outside world can't think of. Of course, as long as you have the ability."

Seeing the gradually subtle expression on young Ke's face, Luoxia smiled.

"Don't worry, we are here with permission from Qixing, so you don't have to worry about safety issues."

No, no, no, it’s just because Qixing allowed me to worry.

Bai Qiyun thought of the white-haired Seven Star. That woman would do anything to make money. As long as her bottom line was not touched, she could use any tricks.

"Then...well, I see there is a stage over there. Can we also listen to plays here?"

Bai Qiyun pointed to the high platform in front of him, where two women with heavy makeup were singing.

However, the heavy makeup here does not refer to the overdressing of ordinary women, but the formal attire of actors.

From this point of view alone, the consumption on this ship is still considered normal.

"Of course, as long as you pay the corresponding mola, you can name the singers on the ship to perform on the stage, everything is as you wish."

"Oh? As long as you pay enough?"

"Of course, as long as you contribute enough, it's not impossible for even the rumored Yun Jin to appear on stage."

Looking at Luoxia's half-smiling face in front of him, Bai Qiyun suddenly felt a cold swishing behind him.

The background of this Baht and Tin Fang seemed to be more sophisticated than he imagined. Could it be directly related to someone in the Seven Stars?

"Well, I'll look around by myself first."

"As you please."

After Luoxia saluted Bai Qiyun, she retreated towards the bow of the ship.

It seems that anyone brought here by Pinghai will receive such a 'welcoming ceremony'.

But the final purpose is just to get guests into the rhythm of consumption faster.

"Oh, don't forget about business."

While the actors on the stage were still babbling, Bai Qiyun walked through the crowd and wanted to approach Zhongli who was listening to the opera.

But who knew that outside the table, a muscular bodyguard was patrolling back and forth and stopped Bai Qiyun who wanted to get closer.

"Sorry, guest, this session is full, you can wait for the next session."

A middle-aged man called Lao Zhao is responsible for maintaining order on the passenger ship.

He has gone through countless ups and downs, and now when he lies, his face turns red but his heart does not beat.

Just like now, there are obviously many empty seats at the table in front of him, but he can lie like "the guests are full" without even feeling that he is wrong.

Bai Qiyun knew that this should be a special class seat that could only be entered by paying a fee. It was normal for a young boy like him to be stopped after only paying the boat seat fee.

Perhaps seeing that the guest in front of him was too young, Old Zhao twitched his eyebrows, hesitantly leaned to Bai Qiyun's side, lowered his head slightly, and lowered his voice to a level that only two people could hear clearly.

"This guest, please pay more attention to safety on this boat."

"oh?"

Hearing this, Bai Qiyun's heart skipped a beat.

Isn’t this an industry with seven-star guardians? Why is it still dangerous?

Looking at the surprised face of the young man, Old Zhao whispered again: "From time to time there will be one less guest here. Some people were holding a banquet here the day before yesterday, but disappeared without a trace the next day.

.”

Perhaps it was the young man's age that made him feel compassionate, so he came here to remind him a few words.

What he said was indeed true, but he didn't know why.

But Bai Qiyun frowned a little after hearing what he said.

It seems that this is not a problem caused by personal safety, but the nature of the ship itself is a gold-swallowing monster that 'eats people but not spits out bones'.

Some people come here to spend a lot of money, but the consumption exceeds their own ability, so they are probably disposed of by the crew.

Of course, their lives should not be taken away directly. Based on Bai Qiyun's understanding of those skinned ghosts, most likely they were sent somewhere to work as coolies to drain out the remaining value.

Only in this way will Qixing turn a blind eye to Baht Tianfang's behavior.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If a life is really caused, Qixing will definitely not sit idly by.

But even so, this place seems to be a hundred times more dangerous than the Iwagami Teahouse.

After all, the people who can come here are either rich or noble, and the consumption intensity that can make them bankrupt overnight must be extremely luxurious.

"I understand, thank you uncle for reminding me."

While the two were talking, the play on the stage in front finally finished.

Bai Qiyun nodded towards Old Zhao and walked towards Zhongli who was standing aside.

This time, Lao Zhao did not stop the young man in front of him.

It's not because he gave the other party the green light, it's simply because you can pass freely here when no one is singing.

————

"So I don't think the two things are connected at all."

Unlike the other tables of guests watching the theater, the people at Zhongli's table seemed to be arguing about something.

As soon as Bai Qiyun walked over, a man loudly refuted the suggestion of the woman across the table.

This woman actually said something bad about Prince Yan. On a day like this, he felt that just a small rebuttal was enough to give him face.

If this was normal, he would have to find a few of his friends to break down the ridiculous idea of ​​the woman in front of him and completely refute it based on ancient books.

When the time comes, this woman won't be able to get off the stage. Rumors slandering Prince Yan will most likely lead to imprisonment.

He was in a good mood today, so he just let him go.

But who knew that the woman opposite didn't appreciate the man's favor at all, and stood up suddenly, with the glasses on her face almost falling to the table.

"I'm not talking nonsense. All traces clearly point to this fact. Besides, we still have survivors..."

Halfway through the sentence, the woman realized that she had made a mistake, so she quickly shook her head and swallowed the second half of the sentence.

"Mr. Zhongli."

While the two were arguing endlessly, Bai Qiyun sat in the empty seat next to Zhongli.

Zhong Li seemed to have discovered Bai Qiyun a long time ago and was not surprised at all by his arrival.

"Well, hello, little brother Bai."

The man picked up a cup of tea in front of him and took a sip, as if he was not interested in what the two people were arguing about.

"Mr. Zhongli, what are they talking about?"

But just because he's not interested doesn't mean that Bai Qiyun isn't interested. To make the two of them argue so red-faced, it must be a more serious issue.

Some clues can be seen from the clothes of the two. The woman is wearing common civilian clothes in Liyue, but she has a token pinned to her waist. If you look closely, it should be a sign issued by the General Affairs Department.

That is to say, the woman in front of me is related to the Liyue official family.

As for the man beside him, Bai Qiyun could smell the familiar scent of books. His experience of being with books in the past two days had made him extremely sensitive to this scent.
