Xu Que walked behind a willow tree and took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him. He spent one act tough point and changed into a scholar's attire!
When he walked out, his entire aura changed.
His robes were embroidered with a jade belt. His robes were as white as snow and his face was like a crown of jade!
No matter who saw him, their first reaction would be to think that he was a cultured, refined, and well-educated gentleman!
Soon after, Xu Que concealed his cultivation level.
After all, the strongest cultivator in the group was only at level 1 of the Golden Core Stage. Hence, Xu Que suppressed his aura to the level of a Core Bearing Stage cultivator. When everything was ready, he strode forward with a smile on his face and waved his fan. He then walked elegantly towards the tea house.
"Outrageous! You … How could you spit on the ground? There are so many people here and you spat on my shoes!"
"Where did this yellow haired kid come from? How dare you disturb my tea time. If you don't want to die, get lost!"
All of a sudden, there was a commotion outside the teahouse.
A frail looking scholar was arguing with a group of strong men who were seated at the table outside.
Xu Que saw it too. The scholar was about to enter the teahouse when he passed by the table outside. Coincidentally, one of the strong men spat on the scholar's shoes.
If it was anyone else, they would be furious.
However, there were five to six people seated at the table and they were all Core Bearing Stage cultivators. The frail looking scholar was alone and his cultivation level was very low. He was only at the third level of the Foundation Building Stage!
When the rest of the youths in the teahouse saw this scene, they ignored it. Some of them even revealed looks of schadenfreude as they watched the frail looking scholar being bullied.
One of the youths couldn't help but laugh out, "This Eastern College is famous for having a lot of trash and yet they still dare to send someone over. Aren't they afraid of becoming a laughing stock?"
"Look at him. He's almost crying from fright. Haha!"
"Ignore him. Let's finish our meal and enter the city."
"That's right. Tomorrow morning, we still have to attend the gathering hosted by 'Lady Ya'. We cannot be late!"
"Haha! This gathering isn't just for us. I've heard that the strongest sect in the five nations, Sky Incense Valley, and other sects have also sent their disciples."
"Ai, the competition is intense. After all, in a few days, the Flaming Sun Princess will be choosing her Prince Consort. Lady Ya's gathering is just an appetizer!"
"Since Lady Ya is hosting a banquet, the Flaming Sun Princess will naturally attend. Whoever is able to stand out during the banquet and leave a good impression on the Flaming Sun Princess would benefit greatly during the Prince Consort selection!"
…
Hearing this, Xu Que was instantly dumbfounded!
It was normal for Lady Ya to host a banquet, but the Flaming Sun Princess was looking for a Prince Consort? What the hell was going on?
Could it be that I have really been betrayed?
"This … this brother, can you make way?"
Just as Xu Que was surprised, a thin and weak figure suddenly appeared in front of him. It was the weak scholar who had been bullied just now.
Xu Que raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you know me?"
"Ah?" The weak scholar paused in shock as he shook his head, "I don't know you!"
"Look carefully. This face. That's right, this handsome face. You really don't know me?" Xu Que didn't believe him as he leaned forward and asked.
The weak scholar couldn't help but take a step back as he clasped his hands and smiled bitterly, "Forgive me for being ignorant and inexperienced. How should I address you, brother?"
"Have you heard of Hua Wu Que?"
Xu Que asked suspiciously.
The weak scholar paused before replying politely, "My name is Tang Liu Feng and I am a student from Eastern College. However, I've never heard of Hua Wu Que!"
Never heard of him? You don't recognize me?
Xu Que relaxed a little. It seemed like he wasn't a wanted criminal. But … This Flaming Sun Princess was looking for a Prince Consort. What was she planning?
Still suspicious, he couldn't help but look at the weak scholar in front of him as he mumbled to himself.
'Look at how dumb this kid is. He's quite pitiful. Why don't I help him vent his anger and find out what's been happening in the Imperial City recently?'
As soon as he finished thinking, Xu Que clasped his hands together and smiled warmly, "My name is Li Bai. My courtesy name is Tai Bai. I'm a student from Tsinghua University!"
The weak scholar was stumped as he was confused. Tsinghua University? I've never heard of them before!
However, out of politeness, he hurriedly clasped his hands and replied, "Brother Li, you're too kind!"
Xu Que glanced at the table of burly men before looking at Tang Liu Feng and smiled, "Brother Tang, I saw that table of people being rude to you just now. Why don't I help you vent your anger? After that, we can find a place to sit down and have a cup of tea. What do you think?"
"Ah?" Tang Liu Feng was shocked as he hurriedly waved his hands, "There's no need for that, Brother Li. Those people have high cultivation levels and are unreasonable. It's best if we don't offend them. Why don't we travel together and find a place to rest in the city?"
"Ai, no rush, no rush!"
Xu Que also waved his hand and said with an unfathomable expression, "People of my generation are extremely righteous and treat each other with sincerity. Your problem is my problem. I will definitely avenge you."
"This …" Tang Liu Feng opened his mouth to speak.
Xu Que interrupted him, "Brother Tang, do you believe that if I walked over and scolded them, not only would they not get angry, they would even laugh like idiots."
"Ah? Brother Li, you can't do that. Those people … "Tang Liu Feng was taken aback when he heard this. This elegant young master before him was actually going to scold those burly men? Wasn't that asking for a beating?
Before he could finish his sentence, a few mocking laughter could be heard from behind them.
"Hehe, where did this kid come from? He doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth."
"Since he's with the people from Eastern College, he can't be any better. He's just trash!"
"I don't believe that you'd dare to scold those vulgar people. You're just a mere Core Bearing Stage cultivator. You're like a newborn calf that doesn't fear the tiger!"
Several mocking voices could be heard at the same time.
Xu Que and Tang Liu Feng turned their heads around to see two men and two women walking towards them. They were dressed like scholars and looked like they were rich people.
It was normal for women to appear in such a place.
In this era, women could attend colleges and study. There were even women who became officials. Even the Emperor of the Water Nation was a woman!
All in all, in this era, only the strong were respected, regardless of gender!
When Tang Liu Feng saw these people, he averted his gaze and lowered his head, not daring to look them in the eye. He then whispered to Xu Que, "Brother Li, let's go. These people are students from Bright Saints College."
Xu Que's eyebrows twitched. In his memories, Bright Saints College was a college under the Fire Emperor's name. Those who were able to enter Bright Saints College were all extremely talented. When they graduated, they would definitely be able to rise to the top of the imperial court.
Hence, towards those who were close to the Fire Emperor, Xu Que wasn't going to give them any face. He then laughed out coldly, "You bunch of idiots. Scram back to where you came from. Don't disturb me."
"You …" The few of them opened their eyes wide and were enraged!
However, Xu Que ignored them as he looked at Tang Liu Feng and laughed out, "Brother Tang, watch and see. If they still laugh after I'm done scolding them, you'll have to pay for their meals later."
"Ai, Brother Li …" Tang Liu Feng hurriedly spoke out.
"Let's wait and watch a good show!" Xu Que turned around and walked towards the group of burly men.
Only Tang Liu Feng and the two men and two women from Bright Saints College were left standing in their original positions. Their faces were filled with shock.
This … Is this kid's brain damaged or does he want to die?
