Chapter 147: Chapter 147
The previously arrogant Wang Yi, upon hearing the words of the purple-robed Young Master Dong, displayed a color of panic on his face.
Young Master Ye's identity was extraordinary. If they provoked Young Master Ye's anger by acting recklessly, it wouldn't be just him—his whole Wang family could be struck off from War King City.
"It's fine. They are all spirited young talents; who doesn't have a temper? A little spar between them is very normal. However, Fengyue Building is a place for drinking and reveling, not suitable for martial conflicts. It would ruin the refined atmosphere, so let's let this matter rest." Young Master Ye stood with his hands clasped behind his back, a very peaceful smile on his face that seemed to purvey a refreshing breeze. His tone was very calm, yet it brooked no doubt.
"You all heard what the young master said, right? Stand down now," Young Master Dong glared at Wang Zhao and Wang Yi, coldly reprimanding them.
"Yes, yes," Wang Zhao and Wang Yi nodded repeatedly. They couldn't afford to offend Young Master Ye, and they equally couldn't afford to offend this Young Master Dong because Fengyue Building belonged to the Dong family. The Dong family's influence in War King City was vast, incomparable to the likes of the Wang or Nie families.
"This young brother here, I am the owner of Fengyue Building. The Wang brothers have been rude to the distinguished guests, which reflects poorly on Fengyue Building's hospitality. I, Dong Chao, on behalf of Fengyue Building, offer my apologies. Today's expenses for the distinguished guests shall be on me, Dong Chao. I hope you can all enjoy yourselves to the fullest, without letting the earlier incident affect your mood," Dong Chao stepped forward, surveying Zhao Letian and the others, wearing a benevolent smile, and bowed slightly in a polite greeting.
"Dong Chao? You flatter us." Zhao Letian took a deep look at the purple-robed youth, taking note of his name. It was no wonder that the Dong family, unlike the Wang brothers, could manage such a large enterprise as Fengyue Building given this person's cultivation.
"Brother Dong still has such a magnanimous way about him; it's admirable."
"It's only a super clan like the Dong family that can nurture a gentleman like Brother Dong."
The group of outstanding young elites all voiced their admiration. To accompany Young Master Ye to Fengyue Building meant each one of them was a renowned talent in War King City, but in terms of status and identity, there were not many among them who could compare with Dong Chao.
"Young brother, have you ever been to the Royal Capital?"
The golden-robed Young Master Ye suddenly fixed his gaze on Zhao Letian and asked. He, too, noticed that there were some similarities between Zhao Letian's features and his own, but as far as he knew, there were no Zhao surnamed individuals among the royalty, which puzzled him.
"No," Zhao Letian shook his head and replied candidly.
"Oh? Perhaps I was mistaken then. Brother Dong, let's not disturb others' dining any longer, let us leave." Young Master Ye smiled lightly and turned to leave. There were many similar-looking people in the world; maybe he just happened to encounter someone who bore some resemblance to him. It wasn't something to be overly concerned about.
Zhao Letian didn't say much more. Even though he and this Young Master Ye were likely related by blood, and could even be close relatives, he had no intention of clinging to this relative of noble status. As for the unseen father, he felt no familial affection towards him, to say nothing of relatives from his father's family.
Moreover, affairs within the Royal Family were very complex, undoubtedly filled with manipulations and power struggles. Zhao Letian was unaware of the role his father played within the Royal Family, and what relationship he had with this Young Master Ye. To rashly reveal that he possessed the Royal Bloodline was not a wise choice. It could potentially bring unnecessary trouble, or even a fatal disaster.
Dong Chao took a deep look at Zhao Letian, and then finally left with everyone. Zhao Letian, having attracted the attention of Young Master Ye, was worth his notice.
"Hmph!" Wang Yi also looked at Zhao Letian with a venomous gaze. Zhao Letian caused him to be scolded by Young Master Dong and nearly got him into trouble with Young Master Ye. He remembered this grudge, and if given the chance, he would definitely make Zhao Letian pay a painful price.
"This young master was scared to death, with so many high-level True Martial Realm experts, each with their extraordinary bearing and astonishing presence. This is the first time this young master has seen so many monstrous geniuses. Compared with them, the number one genius of Dawan City seems a bit inadequate." After the group of outstanding youths left, Qin Hai took a deep breath, touching his chest and exclaimed.
"Letian, you are truly impressive; facing so many formidable geniuses, yet you remained so calm." Jiang Xuemei looked up at Zhao Letian with admiration. She had been scared to even breathe deeply just moments ago, but when she looked up at Zhao Letian, his face was the picture of calmness, which made her feel a great admiration.
At the same time, Jiang Fan also regarded Zhao Letian with a look of admiration. Just with the courage that Zhao Letian displayed, he felt far behind.
"Hehe, the person that we, the Five Tigers of Xinghai, have decided to follow, is naturally extraordinary. You all will have a deeper understanding of this in the future," Big Tiger said with a grin.
However, what they didn't know was that Zhao Letian only appeared calm on the surface; in fact, he was very nervous inside.
Even though the rules of the War King Mansion were in place, and high-level cultivators typically wouldn't dare to easily attack those of lower realms, nothing is absolute. Ever since his time in Qingzhou City, Zhao Letian had come to a stark realization that rules are meant to constrain the weak and serve the powerful.
People with enough strength simply don't care about rules. The young group from earlier, all being distinguished individuals in War King City, Zhao Letian couldn't be sure whether these people would care about the rules of War King Mansion. If that group had decided to attack them, then none of his team would have been able to escape.
"Let's eat. Since someone else is paying, let's not be shy. Fill your stomachs and eat to your heart's content." This content is presented by *.
At that moment, the attendants of Fengyue Building brought in the food and drink. Zhao Letian looked around at everyone and said with a broad smile.
"Good, let's see how this century-old wine tastes." Qin Hai loved to drink and immediately picked up the jug and poured a cup for everyone. Then, everyone clinked glasses and downed them in one gulp.
"Excellent wine." After the wine hit his throat, Zhao Letian's eyes lit up, and he praised loudly. Even he, someone who usually didn't drink, could tell that the wine was strong and had a rich, mellow scent, like swallowing a fierce fire into the stomach.
What's more important was that the wine contained a unique medicinal strength. After absorbing it, he distinctly felt that the operation of the True Yuan Power in his body became smoother and it seemed like his physique had improved as well. Of course, such a change was very subtle and only with long-term drinking would there be noticeable effects. It's a pity that such wine is too expensive, and probably not many could afford to drink it often.
"Miss, bring us a few more jugs of wine, from two hundred to a thousand-year-old vintages, one jug of each," Zhao Letian put down his cup and directly said to the waitress by his side.
