An enraged roar rang out like a clap of thunder, causing the faces of the young nobles to turn pale. A few of them, whose bodies couldn't handle it, had already collapsed onto their chairs.
The one who scolded was none other than the one who was drinking.
"It's that fellow again."
A few of the more powerful young nobles cursed in a low voice as they returned to their own seats.
"Hmph, coward."
That person stood up and scolded in an unbridled manner, before walking down the stairs with a bottle of wine in his hand.
"Venting my anger." Cheng Feng laughed as he drank a mouthful of wine.
"Who exactly is this person?" Zhou Yang asked in bewilderment. Although the young nobles here didn't have any Astral Souls, they were all from wealthy clans. Even the young geniuses of the Zhou and Xu Clans wouldn't dare to offend so many young nobles. This person, had some guts.
"This fellow's name is Xiong Kun, he's an alchemist. A few years ago, his name was on par with Yuchi Zhenjie's. But later on, I heard that this fellow spent all his time thinking about concocting the Agerasia Pill, a flashy but impractical thing. In the end, even his master gave up on him …"
"What the hell? It's just that his mother died, it's not like we did it." Someone suddenly cursed.
"Forget it, don't lower yourself to this kind of person. A dead pig doesn't fear boiling water. One day, Young Master Yuchi will definitely teach him a lesson."
The crowd scolded Xiong Kun while consoling themselves. Zhou Yang finally understood Xiong Kun's life story.
"He's a talent …"
Zhou Yang nodded his head, his heart filled with admiration for talent.
"Speaking of alchemists, Young Master Yuchi is the most outstanding one in the Jiangnan County. Xiong Kun is just a flash in the pan."
"That's true, Young Master Yuchi is one of the ten great geniuses of the Jiangnan County. He's even the sworn brother of Young Master Xu Linfeng of the Xu Clan."
"Your news is too outdated. I heard that the Xu Clan Leader has already accepted Young Master Yuchi as his adopted son."
"The Xu Clan Leader is a person who loves talent. With such a Clan Leader, in addition to the strength of the Xu Clan in the Royal Capital, no one in the Jiangnan County would be able to surpass them in the future."
Some of the young masters attached to the Xu Family boasted without restraint, but other than the Xu Family's subsidiary families, there were also people from the Zhou Family.
"Although the Xu Family is powerful, occupying three of the top ten geniuses, the Zhou Family is not weak either. The Zhou Family's Eldest Young Master is now one of the Southern Border's Eight Great Geniuses, an unparalleled genius of the Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect. The second-ranked Zhou Family's Second Young Master, Zhou Shaoyu, is also ranked among the top ten geniuses of Jiangnan County. Adding on Miss Ye, who is like the sun at high noon, and Miss Zhou Xianxian, who has already entered the Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect, who among the younger generation can compare to the Zhou Family?"
Lou Cheng had sobered up from his drunken stupor. He told her all about the outstanding youths of the Zhou family.
The Ten Great Talents, the Eight Prodigies …
Zhou Yang smiled. Geniuses and prodigies sounded similar, but they were on two different levels. Geniuses were relative to the eight cities of the Jiangnan County. Even the leader of the top ten geniuses, Xu Pengfei, was only at the Mars Realm.
The prodigies were from the eight counties, including the Jiangnan County. Any one of the eight prodigies was a warrior who had surpassed the Mercury Realm.
It was said that above the Ten Great Talents and the Eight Prodigies, there were the Five Hidden Dragons. They were the true top geniuses of Longwu Country, candidates for the title of martial arts champion.
"That's true. I heard that even that useless Zhou Yang has become a new star. Could it be that the Zhou Family is really going to rise to the next level?"
"You can't say that. Don't you know that the Ye Family, a branch of the Zhou Family, has long wanted to be independent? Besides, the Zhou Family's strength lies in General Zhou Zhantian. But I heard that General Zhou has not been having a good time recently. The Long General's Office is preparing to let General Wan replace General Zhou …"
"This is a military matter. Don't talk nonsense here. Be careful that you don't die without a whole corpse."
Very quickly, the crowd fell silent, and in the next moment, they started talking about Amorous Affair again.
Zhou Yang had a bad feeling in his heart. The county seemed calm and peaceful, and there was no movement from the Zhou Family, but in reality, a storm was brewing.
This was not the first time he had heard such rumors, and he knew that Wan Zhenyi's father had always wanted to replace his father. This was an open secret.
Thinking of this, he could not help but take a deep breath. These things were not something he could consider. The only thing he could do now was to strengthen himself.
"Young Master Chang has arrived."
With a loud shout, a young master dressed in a luxurious robe walked up to the third floor with a group of servants. This person had an arrogant look on his face. As he walked, he looked up at the sky and pointed his nose at the crowd.
"So it's Young Master Chang. Come, come, take a seat. Today's drinks are on me."
"Me, me …"
In an instant, all the young masters rushed to pay for this Young Master Chang.
"Who is this?" Zhou Yang asked curiously.
"This person is Yuchi Zhenjie's alchemy assistant, Chang An. He does not have any talent in alchemy, but his family is rich, so they sent him to Yuchi Zhenjie's side …" Cheng Feng said in a low voice.
"Alchemy assistant?" Zhou Yang asked curiously.
However, when the word "alchemy assistant" came out, the entire third floor fell silent. Everyone looked at Zhou Yang as if they were looking at an idiot.
Cheng Feng did not say anything. He knew that the one surnamed Chang didn't like people calling him an alchemy assistant, but Zhou Yang was not an ordinary person.
"Brat, I say, are you tired of living? We only let you up here because of Miss Cheng, but you actually dare to spout nonsense."
"Kneel down and apologize, idiot."
A few young masters scolded loudly.
Zhou Yang drank a mouthful of wine and pretended not to hear. In his heart, he was thinking that an alchemy assistant of an alchemy master was actually so sought after. Then, wouldn't the alchemy master be like an emperor?
"Slap yourself a hundred times."
Seeing that Zhou Yang was ignoring him, Chang An said angrily.
"Let me!"
The two assistants who stopped Zhou Yang downstairs immediately rushed to Zhou Yang before the others. Their hearts were blooming with joy. If they could curry favor with Young Master Chang, who would dare to look down on them in the county capital?
"Insolent!" Cheng Feng slapped the table, and the table instantly shattered. The two assistants were so scared that they fell to the ground.
"You dare to resist? Do you think that you can strut in front of me just because you have cultivated for a few years? Do you know who I am?" Chang An said angrily.
"Then do you know who my young master is?" Cheng Feng said proudly.
"Your young master?"
Chang An frowned and looked at Zhou Yang, but no matter how he looked, he could not see that Zhou Yang was a person of status.
"My young master is the Seventh Young Master of the Zhou Clan, the rising star of the county capital, Young Master Zhou Yang!" Cheng Feng shouted loudly.
This time, everyone was stunned. In their hearts, Zhou Yang had been a piece of trash for a few years. Although he had suddenly risen, it was still difficult for them to accept it. But the truth was in front of them, how would they dare to be insolent?
"So it is the Seventh Young Master, I am Chang An, Yuchi …"
Fastest I went up 2703 = 7} 59
"I don't care who you are, and I am not interested in you knowing who is behind you." Zhou Yang directly interrupted Chang An's words, and then pulled Cheng Qiaoqing, who had her head lowered, out.
Chang An clenched his fists. After running amok in the county capital for so many years, this was the first time he was humiliated. He could not help but feel hatred.
"Trash, wait for me to go back and tell Young Master Yuchi. Let's see if you dare to be arrogant in front of Young Master."
