The Legend of the Guardians of the East Gate
Ch. 31 - Dong Chu Pavilion.

Zhi Yuan looked at all of their guests and gazed towards Elder Zhang, but the hooded figure was still unmoved, and a woman who looked the most mature approached Elder Zhang.

"E-old, you called us to this place, is there anything we can do?" ask the woman.

The woman's question also represented a question from Zhi Yuan who also wanted to ask the same thing.

Elder Zhang opened a chest nearby, although his entire fingers were covered in the sleeves of a robe but Elder Zhang was able to take out a few pieces of gold and give them to the woman, making the woman's face so surprised and so excited, yet Zhi Yuan did not see Elder Zhang's hand at all.

"It's just a payment up front, if you succeed this chest will be yours" Elder Zhang said.

The woman's eyes widened to see the contents of the chest that was filled with hundreds of gold coins, her lips trembled slightly and the look of her originally joyful eyes now implied a little fear staring at the hooded figure, and occasionally his eyes stared frantically at Zhi Yuan.

"The elder, this is so much, surpassing my brothel's income all this time, did the elder want us to poison an official?" the woman said in a trembling voice, and all the women in the place instantly fell silent and held their breaths.

"hahaha..no, you don't have to kill, or anything like that for this fee, you only need to prepare one woman every night for the young man to sleep for thirty days, you just need to prepare one woman every night for him, is that what you can do?" said Elder Zhang.

"uhukkkkk.

Zhi Yuan rubbed his lips with the back of his hand, but some women were like scrambling to wipe Zhi Yuan's lips with the handkerchief they were carrying.

The face of the mature woman looked so relieved, and closed her eyes deeply,

"ahhhh.... Elder, with that much gold, you can buy my brothel along with the comfort women, hahaha.." the woman laughed.

Elder Zhang shook his head,

"i'm not interested in buying it" he said a little annoyed.

"hahah.pardon me Elder, but I will close my brothel for a year, and only prepare the prettiest women I have for this young master, he said, and also we will serve the Elder if the Elder wishes," the woman said with a giggle, and tried to hold the body of Elder Zhang.

Before the woman's hand touched the thick clothes Elder Zhang fingers wrapped in thick robes had already grabbed the neck of the adult woman, making the woman so frightened with bulging eyes.

"You should never dare to touch me, no woman should touch this body of mine," Elder Zhang said, his voice echoing, and the entire lantern in the house suddenly dimmed the cold started to feel, making the women in the place gather to hug each other in fear.

"Ma-af right I'm an Elder, actually I've heard from the servants saying there's from the Sacred Temple, but I really didn't expect you to be an elder Monk, " said the woman in a stammering voice.

Elder Zhang let go of the woman, and the woman stroked her neck and slightly moved away from Elder Zhang, the dim room slowly returning like the beginning.

"What are you waiting for, quickly serve this young master as well as you can," cried the slightly fertile woman, and poured tea into Elder Zhang's cup.

Zhi Yuan's eyes widened looking towards Elder Zhang,

"Te-old," said Zhi Yuan like trying to protest at Elder Zhang's wishes, but Elder Zhang remained in his stance.

"Chairman, do we need to bring the young master to his room? or else the elder should rest in another room," the mature woman said, seeing Zhi Yuan still staring resentfully at Elder Zhang.

Elder Zhang shook his head,

It had been quite a long time for the meal but Zhi Yuan had not shown any cooperation with the women, making the mature woman approach Elder Zhang.

"This elder is a little difficult, can we give him a little alcohol?" the woman asked as if whispering to Elder Zhang.

"oohhh... alcohol? I almost forgot here there was that thing, the young man was not a Monk so do it," Elder Zhang said.

Some of the urns had been empty, and Zhi Yuan's face was now flushed red, and began to serve the women's talk, even the hands of those women had already entered the clothes of Zhi Yuan without any more resistance from the young man again.

"hehe. it's good, you guys did it well, " said a hoarse voice but the figure was no longer cut from his original seat.

The morning had already arrived Zhi Yuan who had regained his senses, found four women dressed as such, some even completely unclothed, the look on the faces of the women looked so exhausted and the little remaining smiles showed satisfaction.

Zhi Yuan closed his eyes deeply, and grabbed his clothes, quickly put on them, and crept out of the house.

Arriving at Zhi Yuan's courtyard was a little surprised because he was in a residence so luxurious, a spacious courtyard surrounded by four large buildings, but the backmost building looks small but so beautiful, so beautiful, it is located a little far, to reach it must pass through a winding bridge, with a brick base and a beautiful roof on the side by large pillars made of circular wood.

It seemed that some servants had swept the courtyard, and in the back corner was a gate and it appeared that the people dressed as farmers went back and forth like carrying agricultural produce on their backs, take her to a warehouse near the room with smoke billowing. The old man he knew as a senior servant was busy organizing the peasants, and upon seeing Zhi Yuan the senior servant half ran over to the young man.

"Young master, you've woken up, please come with me," said the old maid, and took Zhi Yuan to a small gazebo on the edge of the back garden.

Zhi Yuan's eyes saw dozens of large wooden buckets, being filled with earth, and water by the male servants.

"that was the Elder's request last night, the Elder said he would put a sacred flower that would be useful to you" said the senior servant

Zhi Yuan sat down and two female servants came carrying food and served at the table in front of Zhi Yuan.

"Please young master, this Jinan ginseng soup, will eliminate the effects of alcohol" said the old servant.

Zhi Yuan nodded, his fingers pressing the corner of his eyes dampened the still slight dizziness,

"Uncle let me explain, first I am not the young master, just call Zhi Yuan, now uncle sit down and eat with me, and answer all my questions," said Zhi Yuan, the pressure in each of the words made the old servant nod and sit down near Zhi Yuan.

"Aahh sir, I mean Zhi Yuan, Uncle understands your confusion, my name is Kwan Lu, people in the market used to call me uncle Kwan only, this is Dong Chu pavilion, this is Dong Chu, originally belonging to a wealthy noble, who became one of the monks in the Holy Temple, after becoming a Monk, all the treasures and houses and servants in this place were given to the Holy Temple, the Holy Temple said, since our master had no family anymore, and after the master who became the Monk died, any guest for the Sacred Temple would usually stay at this Dong Chu pavilion, after which, the Monk would die, and as for the Elder last night, I did not know his name, it was just that the Elder had been to this place with the head Monk, the Head Monk was so courteous to this Elder, just that the Elder was so polite to him, The chief monk gave this badge to the Elder, and after that the Elder who last night became the owner of the Dong Chu pavilion," the senior servant said.

the senior servant handed a badge to Zhi Yuan,

"and last night that Elder had already given this badge to you, from this moment on you are the owner of this Dong Chu pavilion, from this moment on, and therefore from this moment on I cannot summon you Zhi Yuan anymore, and don't forget the young master behind this pavilion there are about 50 heads of families and they are tilling the land from you, and don't forget the young master behind this pavilion there are about 50 heads of families and they are tilling the land from you, and this is your financial statement" said Kwan Lu, and proffered a book at Zhi Yuan's desk.

Zhi Yuan only nodded for a moment and started to understand about the house, there was no happy face of his after becoming the owner of that Dong Chu pavilion, the young man started to think about the events of last night, he said, make her hold her forehead.

"Young Master, you better clean yourself, I've prepared clothes and room for you, take a break and remember later that night a woman will come again, and that's the elder's order," said the old servant.

Zhi Yuan who was still holding his forehead with his eyes closed only nodded,

"yes, I know uncle, that crazy plan, aahhhh, of course I remember," said Zhi Yuan who sounded so desperate.
