And Wang Ye, after achieving the half-step into the Fusion Realm, would the people from the Sorcerer's Guild over there do something to restore the Wei City Mage Guild, just to sell a favor to someone in the half-step into the Fusion Realm?

They would.

For them, there's not too much loss.

Initially, Zhou Ke thought he was trapped in a deadlock, but with just a few words from Wang Ye, Zhou Ke realized that he had simply overcomplicated the issue.

Are these problems difficult to solve?

Not at all.

Very easy.

"Then let's give it a try!"

Zhou Ke's dejected expression vanished completely. He stood up and even bumped fists with Wang Ye, though it was just for the ritual's sake.

"Tonight, let's have a big feast! By tomorrow, Prince Wang, start preparing well for the promotion to Second Rank Sorcerer, and then let's work hard to keep the Wei City Mage Guild!"

At this moment, Zhou Ke seemed to regain all his energy.

"Let's work hard!"

...

Wei City.

Shuiyuelou.

Shuiyuelou is located on the lake.

This lake is the same one where Wang Ye conversed with Bai Mei'er, Shi Heng, and others ten thousand years ago.

However, over so many years, the store owners on the lake have changed countless times, and that's how it became the current Shuiyuelou.

Because of Wang Ye's words, Zhou Ke completely relaxed, so much so that even his mature and steady demeanor had diminished, and he took on a bit of a playboy appearance.

This caused Tian Hailin, by his side, to frequently glance over at Zhou Ke, with a skeptical look in his eyes.

Is the person walking with me and Wang Ye really Zhou Ke?

Why does he seem like a completely different person from the usual master?

Seeing Tian Hailin glance at him repeatedly, Zhou Ke spoke to him, "Disciple, you have to understand that a mature person should have different appearances in different settings. When we're at work, in front of the public, to put those people at ease and gain their trust, we should maintain a good image."

"But since we're out for fun, we definitely need to let go of ourselves."

"Really?"

Tian Hailin grumbled, feeling that Zhou Ke's words seemed somewhat forced.

Having fun requires some relaxation, but Zhou Ke didn't seem to just relax; it was more like a complete change in character.

After saying this to Tian Hailin, Zhou Ke didn't continue speaking with him but turned his focus to Wang Ye, saying:

"In Shuiyuelou, there is an oiran."

"But this oiran never accompanies guests, only playing the zither and singing from the pavilion, and only accompanies those she takes a liking to, and... it's not just simple company either."

While saying this, Zhou Ke winked at Wang Ye.

The implication in his eyes was quite obvious.

Wang Ye's mouth twitched a few times.

Zhou Ke's change in demeanor was indeed hard for Wang Ye to accept.

From the start, Wang Ye felt that Zhou Ke was a man of integrity, gentle and refined in his presence, but upon reaching this place, he turned out to be completely different from what Wang Ye had imagined.

Zhou Ke probably noticed Wang Ye's thoughts and was just about to start a long discussion when Wang Ye smiled and said to Zhou Ke, "It's fine, I understand; everyone has two sides. Sometimes maintaining one stance day in and day out can be very stressful and exhausting."

Wang Ye's words immediately prompted Zhou Ke to give him a thumbs up, and he hugged Wang Ye as if he had found a soulmate:

"Wang Ye! I knew you would understand me!"

After speaking, Zhou Ke looked at Tian Hailin and reprimanded:

"Look, Wang Ye's not only talented in cultivation but also quickly finds a way to get along with people that makes them comfortable. You should really learn from him!"

As he spoke to Tian Hailin, Zhou Ke had a slightly disappointed attitude, as if Tian Hailin had not met his expectations.

Tian Hailin scratched his head, hesitantly saying, "This... I really can't learn that."

Given the speed of Wang Ye and Zhou Ke, reaching the pavilion where the oiran of Shuiyuelou resided would be simple, just needing a single step.

But instead, they walked around like ordinary people.

According to Zhou Ke, since they were out for fun, there was no need to rush, and the process was the most important part.

While walking, Zhou Ke continued speaking to Wang Ye:

"That oiran still hasn't developed feelings for anyone, so she's still a virgin. If someone gained her favor, it would truly be an incredible thing!"

"Is that so?"

Wang Ye remarked with a sigh.

In his heart, however, he wasn't entirely convinced.

Back on Earth Star, Wang Ye's assistant initially was Tan Long.

Before meeting Wang Ye, Tan Long was involved in some shady dealings, so Wang Ye learned a little about these things from him.

These are just ways to attract customers.

Whether anything really happens or not isn't necessarily true.

It's just that from the start, they set up such an image, which can evoke a man's sense of conquest.

Men are peculiar creatures.

Things easily obtained aren't cherished much by men.

But if something is hard to get, something other men can't achieve no matter how hard they try, yet he achieves it, that feeling is incomparable.

This added value alone is a huge fortune.

If the legendary oiran happens to be more beautiful, it could likely drive the development of the entire hotel.

In Wang Ye's view, part of the reason Shuiyuelou's business is so good is probably due to the oiran's marketing strategy.

Soon.

The three of them reached a spot not far from the pavilion.

The pavilion was in the center of the water.

And when people watched, they had to do so from the shore.

This prevented ill-intentioned individuals from getting too close.

However, it could only deter ordinary people.

Those with real power couldn't be stopped.

Wang Ye gently took a sip of tea, and Zhou Ke had already summoned three women to accompany them.

Zhou Ke's actions instantly made Wang Ye realize that, in his youth, Zhou Ke likely engaged in such activities quite often.

Tian Hailin, on the other hand, seemed a bit uptight and wanted to refuse.
