All The Female Disciples Want To Kill Me-Chapter 60 Fish Red Sleeve_1
Chapter 60: Chapter 60 Fish Red Sleeve_1
Yu Hongxiu reached out to accept a stack of documents from the handmaid.
Initially, her face showed no change in expression, but as she read further, her eyebrows knit tighter and tighter.
She looked at the dense collection of various information. It recorded some major events in the Twenty-One Provinces during this period, as well as the recruitment seasons of nearby Great Sects and some of their recruitment methods.
Yu Hongxiu let out a soft sigh and tossed the stack of information into the pool.
With a splash, it stirred up a spray of water.
Then, her eyes glanced lightly at the white-robed handmaid beside her as she half-reclined in the pool, raising her slender, jade-like legs high.
Along her fair and smooth, jade-like legs, one could see a snow-white, lustrous foot. Her feet were smooth as jade and soft as satin. The flesh on their insteps was round and translucent, faintly revealing a few blue veins. The five round, lustrous toes had nails tinged with a subtle red, like petals embellishing them.
Yu Hongxiu’s eyes reflected thought for a moment, her hands gently wiping the water droplets off her legs. After a moment, she asked the handmaid beside her, "What do you think of this Fifth Elder Su Bei from the Sword Sect? Wenren Pingxin is no fool. There must be a reason he was appointed to this important position!"
The white-robed handmaid blinked and then began to speak, "This person was considered a genius a hundred years ago. He was already at the Mid Stage Divinity Transformation at just over three hundred years old. However, for nearly a hundred years now, his cultivation level has been a mystery. According to the message from ’Peony’ of the Star Moon Sect, even Sword Sect Disciples are only vaguely aware of it. Some even say his cultivation is merely at the Mid Stage Divinity Transformation. Two days ago, Disciples of Wuhua Palace had a conflict with Sword Sect Disciples in Pale Blue City. From the dialogue at that time, this Su Bei is now at the Dao Integration Realm! Although there may be some exaggeration, a rough estimate would put his cultivation at Mid Stage Refining Void or higher."
Yu Hongxiu’s beautiful eyes shifted. She gently bit her slender index finger, her thoughts unclear. Then, she narrowed her eyes and said, "What happened to those Sword Sect Disciples?"
The white-robed handmaid giggled and replied, "Sect Master, they came as a group to attend the Red Pavilion’s Courtesan Selection Night. This disciple has already detained them!"
Yu Hongxiu’s eyebrows lifted, a trace of inexplicable amusement on her face. She then murmured to herself, "Wenren Pingxin, ah, Wenren Pingxin! Don’t blame this sovereign for detaining your disciples. They fell into my hands of their own accord, so you can hardly blame me!"
Then, a hint of smug satisfaction seemed to flicker across her face, mixed with a certain triumphant joy, as she continued in a low voice, "I really want to see how you, a woman who wouldn’t spare a single hair, will worry about your missing disciples! HA! At the very least, these disciples should be able to bite off a piece of flesh from you! You sanctimonious hypocrite! PAH!"
Yu Hongxiu spat lightly, then suddenly rose. Her buoyant bosom was instantly exposed to the air.
—It was a pity, though, that no one could witness this blood-stirring scene.
She casually took the red gauze dress handed over by the handmaid and draped it over herself.
Yu Hongxiu walked to the edge of the Red Pavilion Building and gently pushed open the heavy wooden window, allowing a stream of moonlight to pour in.
A gentle breeze caressed Yu Hongxiu’s face—ravishingly beautiful!
"Everyone says that the Twenty-One Provinces make up the world!" she mused. "Yet the world is a man’s world. No matter what a woman achieves, she merely becomes a man’s elegant accessory..."
Yu Hongxiu turned and moved slowly toward the Bronze Mirror. In it reflected a face of captivating beauty, enough to bewitch for a lifetime.
Looking at herself in the mirror, at the figure draped in only a single layer of red gauze that could enamor any man in the world, she said lightly, "Women don their finest clothes, all to win a man’s light compliment. Is it laughable? All along, my hope has been that one day I could wear a woman’s skirt, stand upon this world, and softly say, ’Half of the world belongs to men, and half to women...’ The Star Moon Sect only recruits women; they’ve been striving for this for countless years! I’ve been scheming for half my life for this..."

Su Bei gently waved the folding fan in his hand, looking straight ahead without glancing sideways, following the bald monk in front as he walked earnestly into the Red Pavilion.
The pavilion was brightly lit, with wafts of a faint, elusive fragrance in the air. Suddenly, a still-charming, mature madam approached Su Bei.
After scrutinizing him carefully, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes as she said, "Oh! Isn’t this Elder Su? Elder Su, you haven’t been here for a while, have you? It must be over half a month?"
Su Bei felt all the hairs on his body stand on end, sensing Xiao Ruoching’s faintly cold gaze from behind him. His face stiff, he said with utmost seriousness, "Your words are strangely ambiguous! I’m only here at the Red Pavilion to gather some information... We won’t be leaving tonight. Please arrange a room for the two of us."
The madam, with a peculiar expression, eyed the upright Su Bei. She then cast a thoughtful glance at the fair-faced young scholar behind him before asking with a hint of doubt, "Elder Su, if you’re here to gather information, why did you enter through the front door? Well, never mind! This is your room."
After Su Bei took the string of keys, he coughed heavily, frowned, and said to Xiao Ruoching, "These people... Hah! They think everyone they see is improper! For your master, my heart aches at the thought that there might be more good people like me wrongly accused in the future. Let’s go, disciple!"
He then led Xiao Ruoching, the sounds of decadent music filling the air, through layers of scenes too indecent to describe.
Xiao Ruoching took a deep breath. Looking at everything before her, a blush crept up to her earlobes. She then closed her eyes and instinctively reached out, her hand grasping Su Bei’s.
What kind of place is this? And... there are even monks here!
Su Bei paused, slightly startled. He looked back at Xiao Ruoching, who was clinging to his arm like a frightened kitten, her eyes squeezed shut.
He hadn’t expected his disciple to have such an adorable side.
He then smiled, gently patted her small hand, gave it a reassuring squeeze, and led Xiao Ruoching towards a more secluded room in the Red Pavilion.
Su Bei entered, walked towards the expressionless woman in Star Moon Sect robes sitting at the front desk, took out ten spirit stones from his storage ring, and said, "I’m here to gather information! Yes! My Sword Sect Disciples recently lost contact in Mo City. Do you have any clues?"
When the female disciple heard he was asking about the Sword Sect, her eyes widened instantly, and then she stared at Su Bei, her eyes gleaming.
—Su Bei could even vaguely see the glint of shining copper coins reflected in the girl’s eyes.
Seeing Su Bei taken aback by her intensity, the female disciple took a deep breath, suppressed her elation at the impending fortune, and said, "Oh? Sword Sect Disciples, you say... Well, are you here to ransom them back, Your Excellency?"
