Chapter 241: Chapter 27 Shocking! Someone Pays the Bill_2

“You want something with me?” Lady Bilian was brooding with fire in her heart, her smile becoming even more enchanting. “Last time, I invited Young Master Wang for a chat, but it was fruitless. Since you’ve come to my shop today, as the hostess, it’s only natural that I entertain you.”

The hostess?

Wang Shouzhe was slightly surprised, “You are that one from the Yuwen Family…” If Wang Shouxin hadn’t introduced her earlier, he wouldn’t have known that Lady Bilian was the owner of the Hundred Flavors Pavilion.

“Indeed, I am.” Lady Bilian sneered twice, “Now, am I eligible to invite Young Master Wang for a meal?”

“Thank you for your kindness, Madam. However, we’re strangers, forget it. I can afford this meal myself.” Wang Shouzhe roughly knew that this woman had a bad reputation and didn’t want to get entangled in some unclear issues with her.

Then, Liu Ruolan secretly gave her husband an approving look, as if secretly praising him for being obedient.

Even though Lady Bilian was burning with rage, she was a businesswoman. Seeing everyone in all kinds of Spiritual Silkworm clothes, especially the couple, they each had storage rings on their hands. All the signs indicated that this Prince Wang might be a big shot.

But her temper has always been big.

Even if she didn’t want to become mortal enemies with them, she still had to vent her anger. Her eyes rolled, “Prince Wang, even if you don’t want to invite me for a meal, you should tell me who used the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill you took from me. I want to see what kind of young elite is worthy of using it. This way, my brother-in-law, Yuwen JianYe, can give up ever possessing it.”

Then her eyes darted at the young faces in the crowd.

Who used the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill? Of course, it was for myself.

However, Wang Shouzhe naturally wouldn’t tell her that. Then, he looked at the two young men behind Lady Bilian.

One of them was about twenty years old, with an impressive aura. This youngster must be the Yuwen JianYe she mentioned.

Wang Shouzhe praised, “This lad looks good, quite spirited, madam, you’ve given birth to a good son.”

God damn son!

Lady Bilian’s face darkened, angrily she said, “Prince Wang, don’t talk nonsense, this is my younger uncle.”

“Oh, he’s your younger uncle.” Wang Shouzhe carelessly said, “He’s a good kid. But about the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, it belongs to the one who pays the highest price.”

He thought to himself, this kid seems shy but seems fine. According to his breath reading skill, this young man had already reached the Vital Energy Refining Realm Level Eight.

Obviously, his bloodline and resources were impressive; no wonder she was so eager to buy the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill for him.

It was not easy to perceive the abilities of the Wang Family. Three people in the Spirit Platform Realm were all wearing high-grade Restrain Breath Jade. Wang LuoQiu, Wang Luo Jing, and Wang Zongsheng wore ordinary Restrain Breath Jade.

Unless their cultivation base was much superior or they burst with energy, it wouldn’t be easy to judge their strength.

“Hmph, what you said makes sense, but I simply can’t accept it.” Lady Bilian’s eyes shifted, “How about this? I see some young people in your family, are they planning to join the Academic Palace?”

“Why not let him have a trial with my younger uncle? As long as the age is close, if one person can defeat him, all your bills today are waived, and we’ll also give you gift vouchers worth 3000 Qian Gold. This won’t be considered my treat, it’s you who will be winning.”

“The bill is waived?” Wang Shouzhe said with a puzzled face, reminding, “Madam, do you know how much our bill is? We haven’t ordered enough dishes yet, we’re adding more later.”

“I don’t care how much your bill is or if you add more!! As long as you order at the spot and eat on the spot without taking away, no matter how much, it will be on me.” Lady Bilian boasted with a heroic spirit. It seemed that she did not care even if it cost her thousands or tens of thousands Qian Gold just to vent her anger.

“Well…” Wang Shouzhe was somewhat tempted.

Honestly, this meal was quite a large amount.

Before he decided,

Wang LuoQiu jumped out and said, “Big Brother, why are you hesitating? Just a fight can waive the bill, where else could we find such a good deal? Let’s settle this quickly and not delay our meal.”

She rolled up her sleeves, ready to fight.

Just joking, she planned to overthrow the current generation and beat up the Sky Pride when she entered the Academic Palace. What was there to fear from a young chicken that hasn’t even entered the Academic Palace yet?

“Sixth Aunt, he said he would accept anyone of similar age.” Wang Zongsheng stood up and said, “Why don’t I try his strength first, to give me a chance to practice.”

Despite his muscular appearance, he was indeed the son of the business-minded Wang ShouYi. He was shrewd ever since he was a child.

Unlike his simple look, anyone underestimating him would suffer. Starting with simple calculations, his skills had improved by several levels.

At this time, Wang Shouxin hastily said, “Handsome… little brother, if you don’t want to fight, we can refuse. I don’t believe that anyone in our Longzuo County Town would dare to forcibly provoke a fight?”

His dual identities were not to be trifled with, and once he was serious, he was quite influential.

“What do you think, Ruolan?” Wang Shouzhe finally turned to Liu Ruolan.

“Husband, let Zongsheng and Luoqiu have their fun if they wish to,” Liu Ruolan did not have a favorable opinion of Lady Bilian. It was Lady Bilian who had willingly placed her head under the blade after all.

As the principal lady managing the Wang family’s wealth, Liu Ruolan did not mind saving a bit of money.

Despite the Wang family being wealthy nowadays, the larger the family, the larger the expenses. Every penny saved mattered.

“Alright, be careful, don’t take it too far,” Wang Shouzhe agreed after a moment of contemplation. After all, these young ones were going to be studying in the Academic Palace, and he, as their older brother and uncle, couldn’t possibly look after them forever.

They needed their own experiences to truly grow up.

“Fourth Aunt, please bring me my weapon,” said Wang Zongsheng respectfully.

Since they were out for a meal, Liu Ruolan had taken care of his weapon.

Immediately, in a graceful motion of her hand, two hefty Octagonal Hammers appeared from her storage ring. She handed them to Wang Zongsheng, complaining, “You are such a good boy, but your weapon is too heavy.”

Wang Zongsheng, armed with the two Octagonal Hammers, dared not respond to Liu Ruolan’s comment.

He thought to himself, if Aunt were to lose her temper, she would only complain about it being too light, not too heavy. If there was anyone in the family who held the highest position, it was undeniably Aunt. Her reputation was hard-earned.

The group then arrived at the center stage of the Hundred Flavors Pavilion, a sturdy platform that often hosted various martial contests.

Wang Zongsheng was the first one on the stage. The two large hammers in his hands felt as light as feathers. With a wave of his hand, an incomparable force erupted, causing even the air itself to explode with a thunderous bang.

“Good!”

This commotion attracted many guests who were thrilled by the spectacle. Seeing Wang Zongsheng’s display, they all couldn’t help but cheer him on.

All patrons in the Hundred Flavors Pavilion were either rich or noble, and had discerning eyes.

The boy appeared to be only sixteen or seventeen, yet the aura that he exuded was quite formidable, and his strength was amazing.

They soon learned that this was a bet.

Private fights are forbidden in the Great Qian Land, but it was completely allowable, even encouraged, for two parties to have a match, often ending when one party admitted defeat. The fights often served as entertaining diversions, with additional prizes adding to the excitement.

“Whose child is that?” a Spirit Platform cultivator exclaimed in surprise. “He must be at Level Seven of the Qi Refinement Realm! His strength suggests he has awakened a Battle Body bloodline. He’s much stronger than I was at his age.”

“I heard he’s a relative of the Wang Family in Longzuo,” someone else replied. “It’s enrollment season at the Academic Palace. He is probably going there.”

“As long as he maintains his momentum, he’ll be a Core Disciple of the Academic Palace.”

Everyone was talking all at once. The patrons were no ordinary people, many of them had high standards and sharp eyes.

Given the circumstances,

Lady Bilian and her group were growing serious.

They hadn’t expected this simple-looking boy to be wearing a Restrain Breath Jade. They had completely misjudged him.

“Jianye,” Lady Bilian said in a serious tone, “That boy seems to be a tough one. If you can’t beat him, we should back off.”

“Aunt, I can give it a try.” Yuwen Jianye responded rather shyly, before gradually stepping onto the stage.

Suddenly!

The last few steps he took changed his aura dramatically.

With each step he took, the air around him seemed to crystallize, frost forming into snowflakes dancing around his body.

“Mysterious Ice bloodline!”

Some of the patrons gasped in low voices.

A proud expression appeared on Lady Bilian’s face. This younger brother of hers, whom she had raised herself, was finally showing his worth.
