Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Outside the Situ Merchant Association was the Gods Bestow Plaza. Many people had stopped over at the plaza as they wanted to see what was Huangfu Taotian standing here for? Hence, when he knelt and yelled out, it was a huge commotion in the surroundings. Many people looked towards Qian Wanguan and the two others while their eyes lit up immediately.
Some customers from the auction still hung around, and they clearly knew about Huangfu Taotian’s incident. It meant that this fatty in front of them was obviously the... Heaven Painting’s artist and the person that lent Huangfu Taotian 80 billion celestial stones.
Jiang Yi and his group were shocked. The three of them had used the appearance alteration elixir to change their bodies and the Illusion Moon Stone to change their face. They had also been using the restriction to change their voice. How did Huangfu Taotian recognize them immediately?
Jiang Yi took a glance at Huangfu Taotian, and when he saw Huangfu Taotian lifting the head to look at him with exceptionally sharp eyes as though they could see through everything. He paused for a moment then immediately transmitted a message to Qian Wanguan while the latter spoke casually, “Huangfu Taotian, you may stand. Come and walk with us.”
Too many eyes were here, and it wasn’t a convenient place to talk. They had no choice but to talk back at the courtyard. Huangfu Taotian didn’t say anything and rose up with cupped hands before he followed them silently.
Qian Wanguan took an indifferent glance in the surrounding, and the four of them strutted out. They didn’t change their attire or try to cover their tracks as there were scouts everywhere. After today, their information would probably appear in all the great clans’ hands. It was no longer necessary for them to cover their tracks.
...
After Jiang Yi and his group vanished from the plaza and headed towards the south city district, the entire Gods Bestow Plaza was in an uproar. Huangfu Taotian actually said he would be a slave to Master Yi Piaopiao for ten years?
There were discussions all over the plaza regarding the incidents of the auction, and Yi Piaopiao’s name was spread throughout the entire Gods Bestow City. Aside from Huangfu Taotian buying the Pearl of Life for 200 billion for a dead woman, the Blood Emperor War Chariot was also a focal point of the discussions. The Gods Bestow City didn’t have a night curfew tonight, and probably a lot of people would be gossiping in the city overnight.
“What? That unfilial son actually wants to be a slave for others?”
Huangfu Qi had heard the news just when he returned to his study room and was instantly enraged. He picked up this expensive porcelain on the study table and smashed it ruthlessly. Tonight, Huangfu Taotian had been in the limelight, but their Huangfu Clan had been utterly humiliated. In the next few years, the Huangfu Clan would become the laughingstock for everyone.
The fact that Huangfu Taotian had been expelled from the Huangfu Clan was actually only known by some influential clans. During the ceremony, Huangfu Taotian had declared to millions of people that he no longer had any ties with the Huangfu Clan, and they could no longer cover this matter up. At the final juncture of the auction, Huangfu Qi didn’t voice out to help him as he was still angered in his heart, and he wanted to let this unfilial son know something. After leaving the Huangfu Clan... he was nothing!
He never expected for the artist of the Heaven Paintings to actually lend him 80 billion celestial stones, and now the unfilial son—Huangfu Taotian—actually wanted to serve as a slave for ten years to repay the gratitude? He even declared it in public? How could Huangfu Qi not be enraged?
Pong, Pong, Pong!
The more he thought about it, the more enraged he was. Huangfu Qi had smashed up plenty of expensive porcelain in the study room and only regained his composure 15 minutes later.
He sat down on the lion chair with fatigue and revealed an expression of pain and guilt in his eyes. Moments later, he waved his hand and gave an order: “Shadow, go and monitor them. That Yi Piaopiao has offended the Lu Clan and that Tiger Lei. At the same time, get someone to monitor the two clans as well. If my son is to be killed, he can only be killed by me...”
“Understood!”
An aged voice echoed from the corner of the study room. Subsequently, there was a cool breeze that blew across while the study room regained its serenity.
Huangfu Qi closed his eyes to rest for a moment. After regaining some energy, he yelled out again, “Where is Young Lady Qianqian now?”
Swish!
An elder flashed into the room and responded with cupped hands, “Clan Head. Young Lady Qianqian is now together with Young Lady Situ. I heard that Young Lady Yinian had invited her to the Situ Small Construct to stay for a period of time, and Young Lady Qianqian had agreed.”
Huangfu Qi nodded his head and said, “Ask Yun’er to build a good relationship with Young Lady Qianqian. That girl is the true imperial blood, and I heard that the old fellow pampers her the most.”
“According to the information—among the youth generations, it is certain that he only dotes on Young Lady Qianqian!” The black-robed elder nodded and replied.
“You may leave. I am tired!”
Huangfu Qi shook his hand, and after the elder left, he closed his eyes and muttered with rage, “Unfilial son, for a woman, you actually abandon your father and clan? This old one is going to die from anger...”
...
In the northern city district—within Lu Clan’s dedicated courtyard, a Lu Clan’s elder rushed into the Lu Clan Head Lu Li’s study room. After he announced his arrival, he quickly entered the room to report. “Clan Head. Young Master Lin and Young Lady Yu had both went out.”
Lu Li was enjoying his tea and reading a book. When he heard the elder’s report, he asked strangely, “So what if they went out? What are you making a fuss about, Rong Lao?”
Rong Lao let out a bitter smile and said, “Clan Head, you should know that... those two are troublemakers. After Yi Piaopiao played with Young Master Lin, he will definitely think of a way to take revenge.”
“Ke-Ke!”
Lu Li still didn’t care as he drank a sip of tea and said, “It is normal to take revenge after getting slapped in the face. Could it be that anyone can just slap the face of our Lu Clan?”
“Sigh...”
Elder Rong panicked as he spoke frantically, “Clan Head, don’t you already know that the Situ Clan gave Yi Piaopiao an honorary token, and Huangfu Taotian is currently together with them? You should also know about the personality and the strength of that Huangfu Clan’s unfilial son...”
“Rong Lao!”
Lu Li put down his teacup and asked in a serious tone, “Do you think Lin’er and Yu’er are so foolish to go knock on their door? If they are so foolish, then they aren’t fit to by our Lu Clan’s descendants. They should just die and reincarnate.”
“They naturally wouldn’t do that.”
Rong Lao was so anxious that his brows were on fire. He paused for a moment and said, “Young Master Lin and Young Lady Yu are heading straight to the Lei Clan’s courtyard. I reckon that they are going to look for Young Master Qiyan and Young Lady Zihan and plot of something to vent their anger. This is precisely why I am so concerned. They might just stir up some trouble.”
“Wrong. Rong Lao, you are wrong!”
Lu Li shook his head and laughed lightly. “It is because of that; hence, I am not concerned. Everything will be shouldered by Tiger Lei’s clan, and if anything was to happen, Tiger Lei will get involved. What do we have to be worried about? Young people shouldn’t be afraid to make mistakes. We should be afraid they don’t have the courage to make mistakes. Without suffering some setbacks, how will they grow? If they are to win this confrontation, the Lu Clan will be more respectable. If they lose... they will also be able to learn from the mistake and grow, right? Rong Lao, isn’t this what we experienced back in the days?”
“Uh...”
Rong Lao was left speechless by Lu Li. After pondering for a moment, he smiled bitterly and cupped his hands. “It is still Clan Head who thought things through. It is true; everything will be shouldered by Tiger Lei. It is not possible for him to see something happen to Young Master Qiyan and Young Lady Zihan. I got confused because I was overly concerned...”
“Don’t worry. They will not fight in the city; neither will Tiger Lei allow them to behave recklessly. The rules still have to be followed.”
Lu Li shook his hand and said, “Just let them play in the city. If they are to exit the city, you bring someone and monitor them. As long as they don’t die, do not meddle in anything else.”
Rong Lao left with ease. Lu Li smiled and looked outside the winder while his eyes suddenly turned cold as he spoke with brimming killing aura, “It is good to stir up some trouble. It will be even better if they drag the Huangfu and Lei Clans down. It will be even more interesting if Tiger Lei and Old Ghost Huangfu were to clash with each other. Yi Piaopiao? Hmph... I don’t care if it is your real or fake name. If you dare to smack our Lu Clan’s face, you must die!”
