Chapter 101 - I’ll Pay the Bill!
The young man, who had been suffering, hurriedly got up from his seat.
“Is it time? Can we finally leave?”
The women were all experienced in this industry and had seen many people like Weiss, so they did not find it strange. They just covered their mouths and laughed.
Lorne patted Weiss’s shoulder and raised his eyebrows at him.
“Wait for me outside. I’ll pay the bill, and then we’ll go together.”
Weiss was about to take a step when he suddenly shivered and turned to Lorne.
“You brought me here to train myself. There’s no reason for you to pay. Of course, I should be the one to pay the bill.”
Lorne hurriedly shook his head and said with a serious face, “That’s not right. You’re my student, I should be the one paying for it.”
Weiss could not take it anymore. He straightened his neck and said, “I disagree with what you’ve said.
“Looking at you today, it’s obvious that you’ve trained yourself to a state where you’re unmoved by worldly desires. It’s obvious that you were only accompanying me here today.
“If you still need to pay for these expenses, how will I be able to face the others if word gets out? Won’t my father berate me when I go back?”
As he spoke, Weiss did not care too much and directly pressed Lorne to the side. Then, he held his head high and strode forward with his chest puffed out. He asked a few girls to bring him to settle the expenses.
Lorne could not help but nod repeatedly when he saw how Weiss strode forward.
This good disciple of his was really on the right track. He had just used a few warning signs to play hard-to-get, but his little friend had already prepared five steps ahead.
He had come to this place to enjoy himself, and he had even dragged his little friend along. Was he or was he not just trying to get this obedient student of his to pay the bill? That answer was something only Lorne knew.
Very quickly, after Weiss paid the bill, it was as if he wanted to leave as soon as possible. He quickly pulled Lorne and walked out of the brothel. After running a few steps, Weiss hired a carriage on the main street of Silk Street. Then, the master and disciple sat on it.
“I can’t believe we managed to come out alive. You don’t know how torturous it was for me in there.
“You taught me that a gentleman should sit in peace and endure the temptation. I tried to work hard to follow your instructions.
“But those two girls were always trying to get cozy with me, intentionally or unintentionally. I was really at a loss.
“I really envy you… You’ve reached the stage where nothing can change your expression. There is indeed still a lot that I need to learn.”
Lorne waved his hand casually and said, “You only became like this because you didn’t practice enough. “Next time I’ll bring you here, I’ll increase the dosage, and then I’ll order four girls to surround you!”
Weiss’s expression suddenly changed, and he said with some difficulty, “Do I really have to come here? I can’t handle two. If you call four, how will I endure it?”
Lorne glanced at him with some disdain.
“Don’t tell me that when you came, you felt that you had to practice to perfection? Tell me honestly, did you or did you not learn something from this?”
Weiss scratched his head, and then said a little awkwardly, “You’re right, it was necessary. If I can learn to be like you, which is calm and collected, then no matter who uses this to seduce me in the future, it will be of no use.”
Having said that, Weiss gritted his teeth and nodded his head heavily.
“Then next time, please let me know when and I’ll follow you. I have to learn this point thoroughly.”
Lorne then looked at him with satisfaction.
“To be able to be fearless of difficulties and be proactive, only then can you be considered as my good student!”
Under the constant galloping of the carriage, the master and disciple quickly returned to Silk Street.
Lorne and Weiss quickly opened the tavern doors again. As they experienced the music and dancing in the brothel, they had eaten a lot of food and fruits. Therefore, the two of them were still stuffed from the meal, so Lorne directly passed on making lunch.
After the two sat in the tavern and chatted for a while, Weiss estimated that it was time for him to return to the palace. Thus, he slowly stood up, cupped his hands toward Lorne, and then gave a very solemn goodbye.
“Thank you, teacher, for teaching me more important knowledge today. I have really benefited a lot from it. Many thanks!”
Lorne also stood up and helped Weiss up.
“There’s no need for that. It is my responsibility as a teacher to impart knowledge unto my students.
“I’m happy to see such talent and know that you’re able to hear my reasoning. You’re even willing to follow my instructions, it’s a good sign.
“I will make a bold prediction from this. You’ll definitely become a great person in the future!”
Hearing Lorne praise him so much, Weiss could not help but feel excited. The respectful and touching expression on his face was even more obvious to the two.
“Well then, it’s getting late. I’ll take my leave first. I’ll come back to learn from you in a few days!”
Lorne nodded and sent Weiss to the door. After he left, Lorne turned around and continued to fiddle with the improvement of the perfume.
Weiss carefully turned a few corners and made sure that no one had found his tracks before boarding the palace’s imperial carriage at the usual place.
After spending some time, Weiss successfully slipped back into the palace.
The Fist Prince immediately went to look for his father. After all, he had gone to Lorne to learn, so he would definitely have to report to his father when he returned.
At the very least, he had to tell him what he had learned and what he had experienced. This was also what Kyle had instructed him to
do.
Of course, Weiss knew that Lorne had taken him to a brothel. He would never admit to his father about it even if he was being beaten to death. With his father’s temper, he would stop Weiss from seeing Lorne, cutting his learning short. Weiss might even have to take the blame on himself.
Although he had gone to a brothel to train his ability to resist temptation, it did not sound good to say it out loud.
When he arrived at Kyle’s study room, Kyle was listening to the servants who had rushed back from the manor in the southern suburbs of Lolan City. They were reporting the latest developments of the refined salt industry and making arrangements for the next step.
