Kyoto Chu family, villa.
The light shone, and a young man in green stood up, crossed his hands and made a seal. The light around him seemed to be attracted by something and rushed into his body in an instant! After a while, the light dissipated, and the young man in green put his middle and index fingers together and slowly clenched them into a fist, emitting a strong aura!
"Congratulations, young master, for advancing to the middle level of Mingyuan!" The two guards waiting around were overjoyed to see this. They immediately knelt on one knee and congratulated him, "Young master is truly a natural talent. He has already advanced to the middle level of Mingyuan before even having his coming of age ceremony, and he has already reached the peak of the middle level of Mingyuan right after entering the realm! No one in the Chu family can match him. It seems that the position of the next head of the family must belong to you!"
In fact, what they said was true. At the age of seventeen, he had passed the initial feeling, completed the twelve major stages of refining truth, and then crossed the lower realm of Mingyuan and entered the peak of the middle realm... This kind of talent, even in the Great Zhou Dynasty where there are many strong people and geniuses, is an achievement that is worthy of pride.
However, facing this amazing achievement, the young man in blue had a very calm expression, as if all this was simply a matter of course. There was even a hint of contemptuous sneer on the corner of his mouth, and he thought to himself: Is the middle stage of Ming Yuan worth making a fuss about
His mind changed, but his expression remained unchanged. He just said calmly: "I heard... that prodigal son is back?"
One of the guards quickly replied: "Yes... I heard they are almost at Tianjue City."
"Hmm..." The young man in blue murmured in silence, while another guard was a little disapproving: "Sir, what does it matter whether this prodigal son comes back or not? You are the number one genius in the family, and you are the top scorer in the last autumn exam. You are a child of destiny who entered the middle stage of Mingyuan at the age of seventeen! Now more than 90% of the family members support you. Even if that prodigal son can turn the world upside down, he can't change anything!"
The young man in green said calmly, "After all, he is the Purple Marquis, the only son of Second Uncle Chu. Second Uncle and Second Aunt dote on him too much, always creating extra-marital affairs. In recent years, they even split the 'Tian Jue Chu Family' and the 'Jingdu Chu Family' to fight against each other for him. They are all setting up a back-up plan for him. Although they haven't really split up, the intention is too obvious..."
"But you're right, he can't turn the tables."
"According to the Chu family's ancestral precepts, those who have failed to win three consecutive 'Great Autumn Examinations' are not eligible to inherit the family business. And him? Haha, he gave up participating in the election twice in a row. It is simply a shame for my Chu family! At this point, I have a good reputation and I am now fully grown. There is no way I can give him the slightest chance!"
As he spoke, he slowly raised his head, looked up at the sky and said: "Chu Tianxiao, my good cousin... maybe you finally woke up this time and thought about rushing back... Unfortunately, it's too late, too late! Now that my trap has been set, you will soon find that there is no place for you in the autumn exam after March!"
"You will never have the chance to make up for the mistakes you made back then... You are destined to spend the rest of your life in regret, and to be a stepping stone for my rise!"
"The destiny is with me!"
The young man in blue waved his right hand backwards vigorously, muttering in his mouth, with a hint of jealousy and madness at the end: "Even if you were born with a golden key, even if nearly 40% of the Chu family's wealth was earned by your father, even if you have been glorious and successful since childhood, so what? The one who laughs last is still me! All the wealth will be handed over to me in the end!"
"I really want to thank you, little prodigal. If you weren't so disappointing, the gap between you and me would be so huge that 90% of the clan members would be completely disappointed in you. How could it be my turn to inherit such a huge fortune?"
At this point, the young man in blue laughed, but his laughter was filled with chill. The two guards shuddered, wondering whether they should retreat or not. The young man in blue continued, "The prodigal son's return is of no use, but a journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. At this critical juncture, I must not let my uncle and aunt turn their attention to me... Fortunately, if I can contain this prodigal son, I am also containing my uncle and aunt... Haha, it seems that I really need to find something for my prodigal cousin to do!"
The two guards looked at each other and said quickly, "Sir, please give your orders."
"Don't be nervous. I can't get involved right now. I just want to use the backup plan I left behind..."
"Pass the order down, activate the sound transmission talisman, and unseal the words that we secretly sealed away back then."
"'When Chu Tianxiao left the city three years ago, he personally promised someone's fiancée that he would help her break off the engagement!'"
"This statement, along with the 'conjecture' that it brings, must be spread all over the city, especially to ensure that 'that waste' of the Qin family hears it."
The two guards were stunned, and then suddenly realized: "Young Master, you are talking about... the genius Qin Yun who was amazing three years ago and was hailed as the biggest threat to our Chu family but quickly fell from grace?" Then one of them asked in confusion: "But hasn't he become a useless person? I understand that Young Master wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife, but Qin Yun is no longer the same person he was three years ago. Can he deal with Chu Tianxiao?"
The young man in blue slowly glanced at the man, smiled mysteriously and said, "He is useless, but his 'sister' with a mysterious origin is not useless..."
"Go ahead."
…
Desolate Cloud Ancient Road.
"Young Master Chu, we've arrived at Tianjue City. Do you want to get off at the Purple Robe Marquis' Mansion or..." The coachman pulled the reins, whistled to stop the carriage, then got off and stood by, asking respectfully.
There was no response from inside the car.
"Young Master Chu? Young Master Chu?" The coachman was stunned, and then he became anxious. This was the only son of the Purple Marquisate. If an accident happened while he was driving, the consequences... Thinking of this, the coachman's forehead immediately broke out in sweat. He hurriedly took two steps forward and was about to lift the curtain of the carriage.
However, at this moment, a faint voice sounded.
"No need, let's keep going. My mother should be burning incense at Jing'an Temple at this hour. Let's not go back yet. Let's go into the city and walk around. I'll decide where to go first."
The driver felt the sound of nature, and he heaved a sigh of relief, quickly saying "yes". Although he felt that there was something strange in the young master's words, as if something was different... he didn't think much about it, and got on the horse again in a blink of an eye, waving the whip.
The carriage drove into the city and moved slowly, attracting the attention of countless tourists along the way...
Chu Tianxiao, who was sitting cross-legged in the car, slowly opened his eyes at this time, with a bitter smile on his lips.
"Do you have to be so cruel..."
The cold voice kept ringing in my ears.
“Long-term continuous main quest: I abused my destiny thousands of times, the prodigal son vs. the prince charming!”
"I: Novice Trial - The collision of ice and fire, don't look down on the poor young man!"
"Task description: Please formulate a practical plan to break off the engagement. Before 3 p.m. today, bring the good-for-nothing Qin Yun's fiancée, Mu Liuling, to break off the engagement. You must cause at least 80 points of damage to Qin Yun."
"Completion Reward: Open the Prodigal Son's exclusive treasure house - 'Endless Treasures of Heaven'. The access rights depend on the completion of the novice trial. You will also receive at least 100 basic exchange points."
"Penalty for failure: directly kill the host!"
"Warm Tip 1: Damage Value Explanation: Effective damage is related to the negative emotions of the Chosen One, the physical damage received, and whether the luck and team cohesion are damaged. Anything that the host does to harm the interests of the Chosen One can be converted into damage value to the Chosen One. Specifically, 20 points: frowning; 40 points, clenching fists; 60 points, inability to think clearly; 80 points, vomiting blood in the heart and lungs; 100 points, inner demons are rising!"
"Warm Tip 2: Going directly to break off the engagement and humiliate Qin Yun will only inspire Qin Yun's fighting spirit, and the effective damage is only 20 points at most."
"Warm Tip 3: The prodigal's strongest weapon against the Prince of Fortune is his prodigal son. If you can earn more than 300,000 spirit coins from his prodigal son before sunset and receive a qualified lackey, you may get a surprise!"
"Current amount lost: 0."
Chu Tianxiao quickly browsed through it, tapped his fingers on the table in front of him a few times, and thought secretly.
“There are many doubts about this mission.”
"The first suspicious point is that someone came to regret the engagement in public, and lost all face. This is a huge blow no matter how you look at it. However, the prompt stated that this would only cause a maximum of 20 points of damage. If this is the standard, then how much stimulation would it be to cause at least 80 points of damage?"
"If that's the case, then this mission is clearly asking me to die. If that's the case, how can a prodigal son be qualified to be called 'the best soldier in the universe'? How can I be so arrogant as to use money to kill my true destiny as the system said?"
"So... if my guess is correct, this is probably not a story of a tsundere girl breaking off an engagement due to humiliation, but a story of a slutty girl struggling with grievances - this fiancée is probably not valued by her true love, so even though breaking off the engagement is embarrassing, her true love doesn't care that much."
"If that's the case... it's obvious what I have to do..."
"In addition, the second suspicious point is that I am just a prodigal son now. I have nothing but money, so I have no way to fight against my Mr. Right. But the system asked me to provoke my Mr. Right from the start, and didn't even give me time to delay, let alone any 'props'. Instead, it prompted me to go to the prodigal son to recruit lackeys... Imagine being hated by my Mr. Right, and my life is about to be lost, how can I have the mood to be a prodigal son? So this can only mean one thing... There must be a novice gift package that can reverse the disadvantage! And the condition for opening the novice gift package is to go to the prodigal son to recruit lackeys!"
"But is this enough? 80 points of damage is too high... I need more information..."
As Chu Tianxiao thought about this, a crazy plan gradually took shape in his mind. Soon, he nodded: Well, let's spend some money first and get the novice gift pack.
"Turn around and go to Qingru Tower."
The driver was not surprised to hear this, as this prodigal son had visited brothels when returning to the city before.
He responded, and the carriage slowly moved forward. Soon, it arrived at the foot of a building. Although the building was not very big, it was decorated very gorgeously. There were several young women with heavy makeup standing at the door to solicit customers. A dozen women on the upper floor were leaning on the railings, looking around, waving their red sleeves.
This is Qingru Tower, the most popular place in Tianjue City. Unlike other romantic places, Qingru Tower emphasizes elegance and fun, and has games for the guests. Generally, it only talks about elegance and does not involve other things. Of course, if you have enough money and can make the girl happy with your literary talent and humor, it is not impossible to have a one-night stand. However, due to the class of the girls here and the strict rules of the building, such things are rare...
…
Chu Tianxiao lifted the curtain and got out of the car.
Li Lao, the madam of Qingru Tower, had sharp eyes. Just by looking at the majestic golden carriage with nine horses, he knew that this person must be a wealthy person. He rushed forward with a forced smile and threw a handkerchief: "Hey, this young master is so handsome, do you want to come in and sit down?"
Chu Tianxiao smiled faintly: "Of course."
"Oh, Master, you have good eyesight. Our Qingru Tower is the largest brothel in Tianjue City. There are all kinds of girls here, you can only imagine them. Take a look..." As he said that, he handed over a beautifully decorated flower card - this is also a common way of "selecting girls" in Qingru Tower. Even the flower cards are also very particular. Mr. Li, the madam, weighed it and handed over the top-level flower card. There are nearly a hundred girls on it, all of whom are of extremely high value and are difficult for ordinary people to see. Even three courtesans are among them...
Just from this invitation, one can see how much importance is placed on Chu Tianxiao.
However, Chu Tianxiao only took the invitation but was not in a hurry to open it. He just took another one from her hand, which made Mr. Li, the brothel owner, puzzled. He did not open it either, but said directly: "Open a separate private room on the third floor for me, the top one, with a window overlooking the sea, and warm up a few ounces of good wine."
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Li, the brothel owner, immediately threw away his doubts and smiled: "Young Master is really good at choosing, but... I wonder which of these girls you are accompanying have you chosen?"
Chu Tianxiao continued, "Are the two famous people from Qingru Tower still here? If they are, let Sisters Mingliu and Yingxiu come up first."
After hearing this, Mr. Li, the brothel owner, was even happier: "Oh! The young master is a regular customer? It's just that the rules here..."
Before she finished speaking, something that stunned her happened. Chu Tianxiao casually flipped open the two flower invitations, glanced at them for a moment, and then slammed them shut. Then he threw them to Li Lao, the procuress, and said casually, "In addition, I'll order these two."
"One book, go upstairs and serve."
"One copy, put it there, it's pleasing to the eyes!"
Mr. Li, the brothel owner, was struck by lightning: "This, this young master... you really like to joke? Ah, ha, ha... Who would go around a building like this? No, there is no such rule!"
Order two!
One to serve, one to please the eyes
How could he think of that!
He really knows how to play!
Mr. Li, the brothel owner, had a change of heart and began to look Chu Tianxiao up and down, as if he was looking at a liar: "Young Master, the rules of Qingru Tower are not like this. How can you order two books and make such a fuss? Even if I am willing, will the girls be happy?"
This was actually a bit impolite, but Chu Tianxiao just smiled and said, "The girls are not happy? Ha..." Shaking his head, he said to Mr. Li, the procuress, "You, were not in Tianjue City three years ago, right?"
"What do you mean..." Old Li, the procuress, was stunned. Before she could come to her senses, a startled and happy cry of an oriole suddenly sounded behind her!
"Master Chu!?"
But I saw a beautiful lady in embroidered clothes, walking towards me gracefully and elegantly. After confirming the person in front of her, she covered her mouth with her hands, and tears seemed to flash in the corners of her eyes.
"Sister Mingliu." Chu Tianxiao smiled slightly and greeted.
The woman named Ming Liu shuddered upon hearing this, and then quickly gathered her thoughts, bowed to Chu Tianxiao, and then turned towards the inner hall and shouted happily: "Master Chu is back! What are you little sluts, little bitches, and little cousins still wasting away for!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience suddenly fell silent.
Then…
Countless beauties, with graceful figure and graceful dancing, emerged from all directions. When they saw Chu Tianxiao, they were stunned at first, and then they glanced at him madly and let out bursts of screams, as if they were determined to break through the sky!
"Mr. Chu is back, it's really Mr. Chu..."
"Thank God, I finally get to see Master Chu again..."
"It's been three years since we last met, Mr. Chu... You really miss us sisters so much~"
"I know that Master Chu is blessed with great fortune, and nothing will happen to him!"
"Yeah! The kid from the Qin family also said that Master Chu got into trouble outside. Bah, he's just jealous!"
"This person is so despicable. He is clearly useless and a piece of trash, but he always wants to compare himself with our Master Chu. Really, Master Chu probably doesn't even know who he is. There is such a huge difference between them. Haha, I am dying of laughter!"
"It's rare for Master Chu to come back, why bother mentioning that disgusting guy? Sisters, get ready quickly, no one is allowed to be absent from the upcoming banquet!"
"Hehe, Master Chu is still the same... Order two books? Oh, you are so playful, my heart is beating so fast..."
"Little slut, just have fun! You don't even need to dress up. How can you serve Master Chu in your current state?"
The crisp sounds like the chirping of orioles and the chirping of birds continued to ring out, and the other men in the building were so frightened that their eyes almost popped out!
Is this still Qingru Tower? Are these still those arrogant and cold talented women
Are we visiting the same building
"Oh my god, these girls aren't like this normally..."
“… Order two. I want them too!”
"What on earth is going on here? Who is this young master?"
"Looks familiar. Wait a minute, let me think..."
After the orioles chirped for a while, Chu Tianxiao greeted the ladies one by one, then walked upstairs leisurely. A group of beauties rushed to follow him, and their eyes dropped to the ground in amazement...
When he arrived at the private room, he was surrounded by many beautiful women. Some were pouring wine, some were massaging his back, and some were peeling grapes. Each of them was busy in their own way, serving him gently and lovingly.
Chu Tianxiao also took this opportunity to relax his muscles, recuperate, and think quietly...
"With such a big commotion, she should know about it..."
Chu Tianxiao picked up the wine glass and shook it slightly for a moment. The woman named Ming Liu beside him changed her expression slightly, then she apologized and stood up. After walking out for a moment, she returned to the private room, leaned over and whispered in Chu Tianxiao's ear: "Mr. Chu... Miss Liu Ling wants to see you."
