Night gradually fell. Waning lanterns slowly lit up along the gentle and beautiful coastline.
Zhu Minglang walked along the academy's beach and headed toward Lin Zhao's courtyard. Not long after he left, he saw a few people on the beach discussing what had happened during the day.
It was probably a group of new students, both male and female. They were sitting in front of a bonfire and chatting.
One of the girls said excitedly, "That student from Lichuan is really strong. He defeated Guan Wenqi. I remember when I first entered the academy, I thought Guan Wenqi was the strongest person and that no one would be able to defeat him. Who would've thought that someone from the outer courtyard would be even more outstanding than him!"
"I heard that he even made Ceng Liang lose a Ling Yue. That Ceng Liang not only bullies us new students, he also has designs on junior girls. When he first came to guide us, I already felt that he wasn't easy to tempt. That student called Zhu Minglang really helped us vent our anger. He really deserved it!"
"Are you guys talking about Zhu Minglang? Everyone is talking about him today. Did you guys know that Zhu Minglang is my brother? I drank with him at Lush Grass Mountain Castle, hehehe! "At this moment, a man wearing flowery clothes blended into the crowd and boasted.
Zhu Minglang happened to pass by and saw this scene.
At first, he didn't pay much attention to it.
After all, when he was in the Imperial Capital, there were often legends about him on the streets. It couldn't be more normal that someone from the Dragon Tamer High School was talking about him.
Some people were like fireflies in the middle of a summer night. They were so dazzling, so eye-catching. No matter how low-key they were or how hard they tried to hide, they would still be seen with a single glance and stunned.
Mm, it was fine as long as he got used to it.
It was just that the man in flowery clothes looked a little familiar.
Wasn't that Luo Shaoyan!?
It seemed that this guy had said something very pretentious back at Lush Grass Mountain Castle. What was it again?
"When my reputation in the Dragon Tamer High School spreads far and wide, a guy like you who's still trying to curry favor with old women shouldn't run over excitedly to get close to me and brag about drinking with me today!"
That seemed to be what he said.
Then what was he doing now??
On the beach, the men and women also believed Luo Shaoyan's words and invited him to join them. However, Luo Shaoyan shook his head and said, "I made an appointment with him. We're going to Mancheng tonight. It's my honor to meet you. I'm Luo Shaoyan. Let's visit Ni Hai together in the future."
Luo Shaoyan was really friendly. After saying these words, he walked to the other side of the beach. As he walked, he warmly said goodbye.
When Zhu Minglang saw this guy walking towards him, he quickly lowered his head and pretended not to know this guy.
Who knew that Luo Shaoyan had a pair of eagle eyes and could see him through so many palm trees. His eyes lit up as he shouted from the beach, "Zhu Minglang, Zhu Minglang, Zhu Minglang, it's me, it's Luo Shaoyan. I was just about to look for you!"
Zhu Minglang knew that he couldn't avoid it, so he had no choice but to agree.
However, there were quite a few people on the beach who were looking in their direction.
The news spread quickly. Now, many people in the High Court knew that Zhu Minglang from the outer court had defeated the famous Guan Wenqi and brought a little shame to the High Court.
"He's Zhu Minglang!"
"He's from the outer court."
"What do you think? I told you that we're good brothers who drank together," Luo Shaoyan said shamelessly.
However, Zhu Minglang quickly left.
Although he had made a name for himself in the High Court, he had also made a lot of enemies. After all, he had made the High Court lose face. There were bound to be people who were dissatisfied and wanted to find trouble with him.
Luo Shaoyan quickly caught up with Zhu Minglang. He couldn't shake him off even if he wanted to.
…
"I was just about to look for you. I asked some people in the academy and heard that your Li Chuan Branch lives nearby. I didn't expect that we would meet each other so soon. Not bad, little brother. I didn't know that you were a dragon master who hid your strength. In fact, I also like to pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger, but to be able to show it so naturally like you, you're really a master. In terms of acting skills, I'm not as good as you! "Luo Shaoyan chattered.
Zhu Minglang also admired this guy. His shamelessness was second only to Hong Hao's.
"Have you arranged dinner? I'll take you to a banquet. There's good wine there for free," Luo Shaoyan continued.
"I'm going to visit the great educator and talk about something," Zhu Minglang said.
"The great educator, Lin Zhao? What a coincidence! The small banquet I'm talking about is held by the great educator's family! My father and the great educator are old friends, and I'm a little acquaintance with his son, Lin Zhao. Ah, to tell you the truth, Lin Zhao is arrogant and arrogant. I don't like to be close to him, but I'm thinking about the good wine in his family. Since you're also a wine lover and I heard that you've been in the limelight recently, I'm going to visit you and taste their good wine together … "Luo Shaoyan said.
Zhu Minglang looked at Luo Shaoyan suspiciously.
"What? Don't I look like a rich young master with a strong background?" Luo Shaoyan raised his eyebrows and asked.
Like a little eunuch who wanted to curry favor with the rich and powerful.
Zhu Minglang didn't say this out loud.
Zhu Minglang really didn't know the way. Besides, it would be difficult to meet a high-level official like the great educator without someone to introduce him.
Let Luo Shaoyan lead the way and save some unnecessary trouble.
It would be more appropriate to talk to the great educator about Li Chuan in private when they met.
…
…
In the dark sea corridor of Man City, a magnificent mansion stood on Halfway Slope Mountain. Not only could it overlook the sea, but it could also have a panoramic view of Man City's prosperity.
When they reached the foot of Halfway Slope Mountain, they could already see some guests.
Zhu Minglang and Luo Shaoyan walked up the small mountain steps and saw the gate of the mansion.
For a moment, Zhu Minglang thought that Luo Shaoyan and he would be kicked out by the gatekeeper. Luo Shaoyan looked like the kind of person who went around swindling food and drinks …
But after they reported their names, the gatekeeper greeted them respectfully.
It was a little unexpected.
Perhaps their Luoshan Sect was indeed famous in the Ni Hai area, but he was ignorant and inexperienced.
"Brother, let me tell you, this Lin Zhao is so arrogant. Today is actually a small engagement banquet. It's the kind where men and women fall in love with each other and decide to bring them home to meet before deciding on their marriage. They'll invite some relatives and guests in the form of a family banquet, "Luo Shaoyan said.
"Since it's a small engagement banquet, what does it have to do with arrogance?" Zhu Minglang was puzzled.
"You don't know about this. I was actually there that day. I could see that the woman wasn't interested in Lin Zhao at all. She even seemed a little disgusted. But Lin Zhao told the woman that he would hold a small engagement banquet tonight and invite guests. If she didn't come, Lin Zhao and the Lin family would be disgraced in Man City. They would have to bear the consequences! "Luo Shaoyan said.
"There's such an arrogant person. What's the difference between this and kidnapping a woman?" Zhu Minglang widened his eyes.
"Yes, I came here today to taste the fine wine. On the other hand, I wanted to see if the woman was unyielding … But the woman might have accepted it. She'll dress up beautifully and attend the banquet. After all, he's the son of Great Educator Lin Zhao. Many women don't need to be threatened. They'll throw themselves at him, "Luo Shaoyan said. His eyes sparkled as if he was here to watch a good show!
