Gu Rong was lying on a lounge chair on the lawn, basking in the sun, when he noticed Li Qing returning alone, with a faint smell of blood on his body, which made him sit up abruptly in alarm.
"What happened?"
Li Qing waved his hand and said, "It's nothing major, just handled a small problem. Rongrong and the others are still at the academy; I just came back first."
"Oh."
Gu Rong's heart eased slightly, and he lay back down. He didn't ask what the small problem was.
Li Qing returned to his room, took a shower, changed his clothes, and then entered a cultivation state. However, he hadn't cultivated for long before he was woken up by the castle butler.
The butler said that the Crown Prince had sent someone to invite him for lunch in Heaven Dou City.
In these past few years, Qian Renxue had invited him to banquets quite often. As long as he wasn't genuinely too busy, he would attend,
maintaining a good relationship with her.
Remember our 101kanshu.com
After all, her grandfather was Qian Daoliu.
Bibi Dong currently posed no significant threat to Li Qing. The only ones who could truly threaten him were the various Elders of the Hall of Enshrined.
And Bibi Dong couldn't command those Elders.
As long as he could maintain a good relationship with Qian Renxue, giving her the illusion that she had a chance to win him over,
then under her mediation, the Elders of the Hall of Enshrined wouldn't act against him. Only then would he have enough room to grow.
"Grandpa Bone, accompany me to Heaven Dou City, won't you?"
The academy was not far from the Ning Clan's castle, which was why he dared to return alone; after all, if something happened, he could just shout. But he wouldn't dare go to Heaven Dou City alone.
Especially at such a tense moment after dealing with Yu Xiaogang.
"Alright!"
Gu Rong followed Li Qing out of the castle and boarded the carriage driven by the Crown Prince's personal guards, heading towards Heaven Dou City.
"We're planning to go out for a stroll, do you want to come along?" Dai Mubai proactively suggested going out for a walk and, along with Ma Hongjun, sought out Tang San.
Before, he had been slacking off because he saw no hope, but now it was different.
Tang San, a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect, the head of the Upper Three Sects, and his own talent wasn't bad. If he could establish a good relationship with him, and then through him connect with the Clear Sky Sect,
wouldn't it be an easy matter for him to seize the throne?
"Sounds good."
Tang San readily agreed. After all, if nothing unexpected happened, they would be living in Heaven Dou City for a long time, so it was indeed time to go out and familiarize themselves with the environment.
The group found Tang Yuehua, and Tang San said, "Aunt, we want to go out for a walk."
"Don't cause trouble."
Though Tang Yuehua's words were a warning, her eyes were filled with caution, a warning directed at Dai Mubai and the other two.
She was clear about how the conflict at the academy gate had occurred. Although Xue Beng was partly responsible, Dai Mubai's impulsiveness was also undeniable. She was truly afraid this boy would cause more trouble.
Tang San said, "Don't worry, Aunt, I'll keep an eye on them."
Tang Yuehua wanted to say that he wasn't an easy person to handle either, but in the end, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue, just silently nodding in agreement.
Outside the door, Tang San asked, "Where are we going?"
Dai Mubai grinned mischievously, "Having come to a place like Heaven Dou City, where nobles gather, how can we not experience the high-quality life of a noble lord?"
Ma Hongjun and Oscar's eyes lit up, but their expressions were a little awkward.
Ma Hongjun, needless to say, matters of men and women were already commonplace for him. Although Oscar wasn't as exaggerated as him,
he had been there many times.
The problem was, they had no money.
"My treat!"
Dai Mubai saw through their thoughts at a glance and immediately patted his chest, looking very generous and heroic.
"Thank you, Boss Dai!"
Ma Hongjun and Oscar were overjoyed, gathering close to him, massaging his shoulders and patting his back.
"What are you talking about?"
The pure and innocent Tang San couldn't understand their hidden meaning and could only look at them blankly, with an expression that said, 'I don't understand.'
Ma Hongjun asked with an incredulous look, "Damn it, Little San, you're not still a virgin, are you?"
Tang San's small face couldn't help but flush red. He instantly understood what they were talking about, but he was a bit confused; he was only eleven years old, wasn't this perfectly normal?
Dai Mubai wrapped an arm around Tang San, "It's okay, everyone has a first time. We'll break it for him today."
"No, I'm not that kind of person."
Tang San waved his hands repeatedly, making the other three speechless. So, you're saying we are the 'easy' kind of people, huh?
Dai Mubai shook his head and earnestly advised, "Little San, I have to say a few words to you about this. This isn't about being 'easy' or not."
"This is a method of cultivation."
"There are all kinds of Spirit Masters in the Spirit Master's world, including those with mental Spirit Abilities like Charm. If you can't overcome the allure of beauty, you'll suffer a great loss sooner or later."
What is the best way for men to deepen their friendship? Naturally, it's to do 'that' together.
Especially a virgin like Tang San.
As long as he was led through the door and experienced the pleasure, their relationship would instantly take a big step forward. Dai Mubai naturally wouldn't give up easily.
"I don't need to; I have a way to resist such Spirit Abilities."
Tang San continued to refuse, because although Xiao Wu left early and he hadn't witnessed the power of Charm, he had the Purple Demon Eye.
Unless the gap was too large, Charm would be useless against him.
"Listen—"
When Dai Mubai heard him say that, he immediately had no good solution.
"Then let's go find something good to eat."
Dai Mubai's main purpose for coming out today was to get closer to Tang San. Since he didn't like that kind of thing, there was no need to force him to go.
Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun felt a little disappointed, with the word 'regret' written directly on his face.
Oscar, however, didn't care much. His need and desire for that kind of thing weren't as exaggerated as Ma Hongjun's. If everyone went, he'd play; if not, that was fine too.
The four asked around, and the answer they received was Tiangshang Renjian Entertainment City, so they went straight to Tiangshang Renjian Entertainment City.
"Shh, business is this good?"
Walking into Tiangshang Renjian Entertainment City and seeing the packed hall with no empty seats in sight, Ma Hongjun couldn't help but exclaim, as he had never seen a restaurant with such good business before.
"Boss Dai, look, a beauty."
Oscar nudged Dai Mubai, who followed his gaze and saw a woman dressed in a black qipao with a high slit, whose figure and appearance were both impeccable, walking towards them.
"Are the four of you here to eat, or...?"
Dai Mubai was stunned when he heard this and subconsciously asked, "Are you a server here?"
He had seen her walking towards them and thought she was attracted by his handsome appearance and coming to chat, as he had experienced such things many times.
But... it seemed he had been flattering himself.
The server nodded, "Yes. If you gentlemen are here to eat, you might have to wait a while, as there are no tables available right now."
I suggest you gentlemen try other services; most of them include food."
"I can guarantee that our special services here are absolutely something you won't experience elsewhere. Even if there are similar ones, they are just imitations of ours, though the prices are slightly higher."
Dai Mubai immediately became interested and promptly said, "Money's not an issue. Let's go, let's experience it."
