The Two Most Important Things for a Man
Zheng Yunan and Cai Renfei's marriage was finally set in stone. With the Cai Family and Wu Di as their qilin son, the other clans of Raging Flame City looked at the Wu Family with some trepidation.
After becoming a qilin son, the Wu Family arranged a new residence for Wu Di, and the clan elders were full of praise for him.
Congratulatory gifts almost filled up the courtyard allocated to him. His mother's memorial tablet was personally brought to the ancestral hall by the elder who was in charge of the clan's genealogy records, and her name was left in the genealogy records.
It could be said that Wu Di had obtained everything he'd ever wanted, but he couldn't bring himself to smile.
Night fell.
The Wu Family was still bustling with activity. The clansmen were all celebrating the family's rise to prominence. However, amidst the bustle of the night, two people sat silently in their rooms.
One was Zheng Yunan, who was about to marry into the Cai Family. The other was the qilin son, Wu Di.
The clamor continued without end. Wu Di sat in his courtyard in a daze. Unbeknownst to the Wu Clan, he quietly snuck out of the residence.
"May I ask if Senior Ye lives here?"
After some thought, Wu Di arrived at the Hundred Daybreaks Inn, found a waiter, and asked.
"Bring him up."
Before the waiter could open his mouth, a deep echo resounded in his mind. The waiter didn't suspect anything. He smiled, gestured for Wu Di to enter, and led him to the fifth floor.
The door opened gently, and when Wu Di entered, he saw that Ye Zichen was already seated at the tea table, pouring him a cup of fragrant tea.
"Master."
Ye Zichen stood in front of the door and cupped his hands in greeting, then smiled and waved back.
"Come sit."
The tea on the table emanated steam and a faint fragrance. This was a type of tea only found in the Earth Great District. It was called Ecstasy.
Just as its name suggested, just smelling it refreshed the heart and mind.
Once it entered the throat, it made one feel as if they were on cloud nine, forgetting the pain and suffering of the mundane world.
When Ye Zichen left the Wu Family, the steward of the Skyspan Trading Company had given him this tea. As for why he'd given it to him, he didn't think about it, nor did he have time to.
"Try it. It's a good tea."
Ye Zichen took a sip, then pointed at Wu Di's cup of tea. When he saw Wu Di's dazed expression, Ye Zichen smiled and set his cup down.
"I almost forgot to congratulate you. Congratulations on becoming the Wu Clan's qilin son. Mother's memorial tablet has been returned to the clan's ancestral hall. Congratulations, my long-cherished wish has been fulfilled. "
With that, Ye Zichen looked up and observed Wu Di's expression. He forced a smile and held the teacup on the table with his right hand. He wanted to pick it up but put it down halfway.
For a long time, he did not say anything.
"It's late, I'm going to rest."
"Master."
Just as Ye Zichen was about to get some rest, Wu Di suddenly spoke up. However, after saying these two words, his lips kept moving, and his expression seemed to be very conflicted.
"Just say what you want to say. I'm your master, there's nothing I can't say."
Ye Zichen stopped and smiled calmly. Wu Di's hands fidgeted with the tea table, but in the end, he sighed and said respectfully, "You're right.
Your disciple will take his leave now, Master. "
Ye Zichen looked at Wu Di's bleak figure and stood in place.
"Do you know why I haven't rested yet, and why I've been waiting for you at the tea table for so long?"
"Your disciple doesn't know," replied Wu Di.
"Zheng Yunan became the sacrificial lamb for the marriage alliance between the Wu and Cai Families. It wasn't worth it for me to do that."
Wu Di, who'd been bowing and cupping his fists, suddenly shuddered. A jade hairpin slipped from his sleeve and fell to the ground. Just as it was about to hit the ground, Ye Zichen waved his hand, snatched it up, and fiddled with it.
"You're already married, so what's the point of keeping it? How about I help you destroy it?"
Wu Di suddenly reached out and tried his best to stop Ye Zichen.
"No ….."
"Hah ….." Ye Zichen chuckled and walked up to Wu Di, then placed the hairpin back in his pocket. Next, Ye Zichen patted Wu Di on the shoulder, then looked out the window, his expression solemn. "Do you know what two things a real man needs to hold onto in order to live a worthy life?"
Wu Di said nothing, so Ye Zichen continued.
"In one hand, you hold the power of the world. In the other, you hold a woman's hand."
Wu Di, who'd been silent for a moment, shuddered. He looked up to say something, but Ye Zichen had already left.
"If you want it, go ahead and take it. Don't waste your life. Don't worry, your master will always support you. Alright, it's getting late. Go back, and don't forget to close the door behind you. "
Wu Di respectfully left the room. The instant he shut the door, he clenched his fists and bowed deeply to Ye Zichen's door.
"Thank you, Master."
Ye Zichen stood by the window and couldn't help but shake his head and smile, but then he sighed.
He could support Wu Di, but who could support him?
The power of the world, the hands of a woman …..
He hadn't even held onto them!
"What a nice way to take control of the world's affairs and sleep on a woman's knees. I never would have guessed Brother Ye was such a sentimental person." At that moment, a woman suddenly appeared in Ye Zichen's room, where Gu Li had been sitting.
The woman's eyes shone brightly, and her eyebrows arched like willow leaves. Her nose was high, and her lips were pink. She looked delicate and pretty, but her clothes were provocative.
Only a few strips of white cloth wrapped around her upper body, and she wore skintight leather pants.
Her reddish-brown hair fell to her shoulders, and a pendant hung from her snow-white neck, which hung neatly in front of her chest.
She held a teacup in her fair hands, filled with the fragrant tea Ye Zichen had brewed.
"And here I thought you wanted to peep on me as I slept."
When he saw the woman suddenly appear, Ye Zichen didn't react in the slightest. On the contrary, he acted as if he'd known all along that she was here.
The woman didn't reply. Instead, she lifted the teacup to her lips and took a sip.
"I never would have guessed I'd get a taste of ecstasy here. It really is ecstasy!"
She licked her lips with her soft pink tongue. Her seductive movements, coupled with her pure face, created a strong visual contrast that could easily ignite any man's passion.
Ye Zichen naturally felt the same way. He blinked over to the woman's side, grabbed her delicate chin, and pulled her pretty face closer to his.
"You and I are alone in a room in the middle of the night, yet you're acting so seductively towards me. Am I allowed to suspect that you're trying to seduce me? "
Not only did the woman not show any signs of fear, she even intentionally inched her face closer to Ye Zichen's. Their lips were practically touching.
"You can think of it that way."
A faint orchid fragrance emanated from the woman's body, but at that moment, Ye Zichen pushed her back.
