Outside the Grand Tutor's Mansion, Uncle Fu stood indifferently at the entrance. He stared at the betrothal gifts with a cold glint in his eyes.
"Uncle Fu, thank you for earlier." Wang Kai stepped forward and bowed respectfully. In his memory, this old housekeeper of the Marshal's Mansion was unfathomable.
Based on the fact that he was able to force Wan Zhe back even before he arrived, it was clear that this was not something a Martial Master could do.
"Young Master, you don't have to be so courteous. Since you've already agreed to a duel with the Crown Prince, have you decided to start cultivating?" Uncle Fu turned around and looked at him with a smile.
Wang Kai grinned when he heard this. He was already a Martial Master, but since Uncle Fu couldn't see through it, it meant that the bragging system had the ability to hide one's cultivation. It was indeed a good disguise for someone like him who had just arrived in this world.
"Uncle Fu, don't worry. Even if I start cultivating now, I'll definitely become invincible with my peerless talent. Not to mention that little Wan Zhe, I'll even be able to beat the Crown Prince!" Wang Kai said with a serious face.
"Congratulations to the host for successfully bragging. You've received 1000 experience points and 1 bragging point."
"Congratulations to the host for successfully breaking through and reaching Grade Five Martial Master!"
Uncle Fu's mouth twitched when he heard this. He blinked his eyes and looked at Wang Kai for a long time before joking, "It seems that young master has really changed. You even dare to brag in front of this old servant now."
"Uh, Uncle Fu, you misunderstood …" Wang Kai's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He didn't expect that he couldn't hold back and bragged just like that.
Bragging had already become a habit!
"Alright, let's go back. The Old Master might be impatient from waiting." Uncle Fu found it funny.
Wang Kai wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and followed behind Uncle Fu respectfully. He didn't know why, but in front of this old man, he felt even more pressure than the Old Master.
… …
Marshal's Mansion, Mansion Hall.
"Kai 'er, did you beat up the Crown Prince of the Crown Prince?"
The Old Master sat at the head of the table and looked indifferently at Wang Kai, who was standing with his hands by his side.
"No," Wang Kai said.
"Then did you capture the little girl from the Imperial Preceptor's residence and marry her?" Old Master continued to ask.
"No … no." Wang Kai was speechless. He secretly cursed himself for bragging too much.
"So you were bragging to me before?" The old man glared at him, his tone full of murderous intent.
Feeling the pressure and shadow that had been engraved in his body over the years, Wang Kai only felt powerless and light. He clenched his teeth and braced himself as he shouted, "Old Master, please calm down. Grandson will never dare to brag in front of you again!"
"Bastard! As the ninth generation only son of the Marshal's Residence, it doesn't matter if you don't practice martial arts or literature. Even if you're just a rich second generation, I can still let you enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth. However, you call yourself the number one braggart in Royal City. Do you think that the Marshal's Residence hasn't lost enough face? "The old man scolded angrily.
Wang Kai trembled when he heard this. In his memory, he would definitely experience a farce of being punished by the family law every time this happened. But when he thought about the ending every time, he couldn't help but feel relieved.
"Please calm down, Old Master. I'll definitely stop bragging and do more practical things in the future!" Wang Kai lowered his head and promised.
"How many times have you said this to me? Have you counted it yourself? Hmm? " The Old Master was so angry that his beard was blowing and his eyes were glaring. He pointed at Wang Kai for a long time before suddenly shouting, "Men, take this unfilial son down and flog him a hundred times!"
Whoosh!
The hall suddenly became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. There was no response from outside for a long time, and no guards came to take him down.
The Old Master and Wang Kai were both stunned. They couldn't help but look at Fu Bo at the same time. Seeing that he didn't seem to have heard anything, the Old Master and Wang Kai stared at him and were stunned for a moment.
"My dear Fu Bo, don't you always come out to save the situation? Why are you so quiet today? "Wang Kai cried out in his heart. He was secretly nervous. Was he unable to avoid the hundred flogs today?
Just as Wang Kai was panicking and the Old Master couldn't hold back his face anymore, Fu Bo finally spoke.
"Old Master, you've already given this order 327 times. Every time, I have to come out to mediate. I really can't do it anymore." Fu Bo said calmly.
Can't do it? Isn't it just asking for mercy? What's so hard about it?
The Old Master's mouth twitched. He smacked his lips and looked at Wang Kai below. If he really wanted to beat him, there wouldn't be such an awkward situation with no response. He really couldn't bear to do it every time, but what should he do now? He had already given the order. Was he going to revoke it? Then what about his face as a marshal?
"Old Master, I think the flogging can be delayed." Wang Kai gritted his teeth and said. There was no other way. If Fu Bo didn't come out to plead, then he could only think of a way out for himself.
"Oh? Why do you want to delay it? " The Old Master was surprised after hearing this. He looked at him with interest and hoped that he could come up with a good excuse.
Wang Kai looked up with a serious expression. He straightened his back and said: "Because I have already agreed to a duel with the Heavenly Suppression Prince! If I were to be injured before the battle and lose the duel, then I won't be the only one losing face. "
"Is there such a thing?" The Old Master frowned and looked at Fu Bo with an ugly expression.
Who in the dynasty didn't know that the Young Master of the Marshal's Mansion, Wang Kai, didn't cultivate? Even the Grand Marshal wouldn't be willing to fight him. If he were to have an open duel with the Heavenly Suppression Prince, then just how serious would the consequences be?
"Old Master, I think that since the Young Master agreed to the duel, it means that he is confident in winning." Fu Bo flatly said.
Wang Kai also promised again: "Old Master, don't worry. I will definitely beat the Heavenly Suppression Prince to a pulp!"
"You want to cultivate?" The Old Master frowned and asked.
Wang Kai was taken aback. Why did it feel like the Old Master didn't want him to cultivate? In his memory, the Old Master had never forced him to cultivate. On the contrary, he wanted him to focus on literature. At first, he thought that this was because he couldn't control him, so he couldn't compromise. But now … it didn't seem to be the case.
"Old Master, the Young Master should choose his own path." Fu Bo suddenly said.
The Old Master's face darkened. He coldly glanced at him. When he looked at Wang Kai again, his expression was extremely complicated. He flatly said: "If that's the case, Kai 'er, you should work hard on your cultivation."
… …
Night fell, and King City was once again a different scene.
Wang Kai wore a white robe and held a folding fan in his hand. He calmly walked on the red lantern and green willow streets. Behind him were a few guards from the mansion. Wherever he passed, pedestrians would retreat.
"Young Master, the third floor of White Jade Tower is open. It costs two million silvers to enter. We …" A guard worriedly said.
"Haha, don't worry about that. When the time comes, someone will give us the money." Wang Kai calmly smiled and waved his folding fan as he stood in front of the most spectacular tower.
A plaque with the words' White Jade Tower 'hung between the pavilions. Inside, there were songs and dances, and the sound of laughter was endless.
Compared to the cold silence of the day, it was like a different world.
The few guards behind him looked a little uneasy. This place was extremely special. If there wasn't enough money, not to mention the Marshal's Mansion, even if the Crown Prince personally came, he would be kicked out.
Moreover, no one dared to ask about White Jade Tower's crimes. Even the current Wang Shang did not dare.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and come in." Wang Kai was stunned. He walked into the tower, but found that it was empty behind him.
He saw that the few guards were standing still with serious expressions. They said in unison: "Young Master, we will guard here. We won't go in to enjoy ourselves."
Wang Kai's face darkened. [Did I call you here to enjoy ourselves?] [I don't have a single person by my side. Wouldn't I lose face as the Young Master of the Marshal's Mansion?]
"It's fine. Come in. I am friends with the owner of White Jade Tower. Even if I am penniless, I can come in and play freely." Wang Kai calmly said.
"Congratulations to the host for successfully bragging. You have received 1000 experience and 1 bragging point."
"Congratulations to the host for successfully breaking through and reaching Rank Six Martial Master."
The few guards' mouths twitched. Their eyelids twitched as they looked around. Only when they saw that no one heard them, did they secretly let out a sigh of relief.
Regarding their young master's habit of bragging wherever he went, they had experienced it countless times.
"Young Master, we think that it is better to keep watch here. If the Old Master sends someone here, we can inform you in advance." The few guards firmly said.
It wasn't that they didn't want to go in, but they really couldn't. If it was bragging again, the consequences wouldn't be something that could be solved with a fight. They would definitely be beaten and it would be a situation where they couldn't take revenge.
"If that's the case, then you guys stay here and watch." Wang Kai's face darkened as he snorted. He was extremely angry at their lack of confidence in his abilities, so he couldn't be bothered with them.
On the first floor of White Jade Tower, the people sitting there were all normal players in the Imperial City. When they saw Wang Kai walk in, they immediately stood up and bowed.
"Young Master Wang!"
Wang Kai was already used to this kind of scene in his memory. He lightly nodded and directly went up to the second floor of White Jade Tower.
And here, in Wang Kai's eyes, they were all high-class "brothel patrons".
The Xu Family's young master, Xu Kun, the Liu Family's young master, Liu Le, the Su Family's young master, Su Ye, and the Li Family's young master, Li Chengfeng, were all present.
The rest were also the descendants of the dynasty's officials.
"Brother Xu, did you bring my banknotes?" Wang Kai faintly smiled and directly walked in front of him. His eyes couldn't help but narrow as he glanced at the young man standing beside him.
This young man was the one who borrowed banknotes from Wang Kai during the day, Xu Kun's younger cousin, Zhang Ran.
"Two million and three hundred thousand taels, all here!" Xu Kun's expression was not good. He spread out the clothes package on the table, and the stacks of banknotes were vividly seen.
Even the clothes that wrapped the banknotes were Wang Kai's. It was obvious that they hadn't been touched.
"Hmm, what about the interest?" Wang Kai glanced and nodded.
Interest?
The moment these words were said, it immediately caused everyone to look at Xu Kun with a playful expression, especially the fatty Liu Le. At this moment, he was grinning from ear to ear.
