Bai Yunfei’s curiosity had been piqued as hen heard the word ‘capital’ “Tian,” He started “Are these ‘Four Lords of the Capital’ also the sons of some four major households? Can you tell us more about it?”
“No way! You’ve never heard of the Four Lords? They’re the idols of our generation!” Tian had spoken in adoration It would appear that he held these ‘Four Lords of the Capital’ on a high pedestal
“The Four Lords of the Capital, Wine, sex, Avarice, and Temper!”
It had been with great grandeur that Tian spoke these eleven words If they didn’t know any better, then anyone would have thought that Tian himself was one of these four princes
“Their titles refer to thereat houses: The Zheng, the Chen, the Jin, and the Huang Of the four, the house of Zheng is theknown as one of the ‘Five Great Houses’ The other three ht not be a part of the ‘Five Great Houses’, but they are still considered superpoith enough influence to themselves”
Bai Yunfei’s eyebrows had risen when he heard , Bai Yunfei had allowed for hi
“There’s Chen Qiantan, the ‘Wine Lord’ of the house of Chen Legends has it that when he was born, he was basked in a pool of wine poured from a thousand jars He loves wine as much as his own life, and that wine practically never stops co into his mouth He drinks so much that he’s practically always in a drunken state The secret family art of his, the ‘Drunken Fist’ is known as a soul technique that is ‘unbeatable’ in close combat
“In the house of Zheng, there’s the ‘sex Prince’, Zheng Kai In his family, he’s the second eldest and is so’ He says that he is like the ‘jade tree that can withstand wind and prevail over Pan Yue in beauty’ while also being as capable as the ‘pear blossom that pushes down the crabapple’ Or in other words, he calls hih his nickname is the ‘sex Lord’, it isn’t an insult He is known to be a lustful person, but he never steals away any woly It’s even said that his personal goal in life is to ‘pick up every beauty in the world and leave no girl behind for anyone to pick up’ Because of his absolute valor, he’s seen as the ene the object of envy and admiration of them all
TL Note: The poet Su shi+ had once ridiculed his fellow poet Zhang Xian after e difference in a poe that even a pear blossom could ‘push’ down the crabapple
“From the house of Jin, there’s there’s the ‘Wealth Lord’, Jin Manlou At the tender age of twenty, he was already in charge of the finances of the entire household–and better than the previous generation to boot Their wealth has grown so large that it could rival a country and spendas the problem can be solved with money, then it isn’t a problem as far as he’s concerned Not only that, Jin Manlou is also the nanimous philanthropist in the entire ears
“And then there’s the ‘Te As a ht person, his heroism could stand aloft over the clouds He has always been a straightforward and upright person that outs the rich and supports the poor Of the four lords, he is the most respected one with countless friends and thousands of visitors–ht Evenyou can only see once every hundred years! At the age of twenty-four, he has already become a Soul Ancestor!
“These four are the eneration in the capital Practically every other young lord in the capital follow these four, though, the young ones of the royal family are an exception of course They are after all princes that cannot be ‘discussed’ about so easily”
Tianeneral introduction of the ‘Four Lords of the Capital’ to Bai Yunfei and Jing Mingfeng It was as if his ‘lecturing’ to his older brothers was so to be extremely pleased about
“Zheng Kai…” Bai Yunfei turned his head down just slightly in befuddlement He hadn’t expected to hear his name here, but…”sex Lord? Is he really so master of a man?” Bai Yunfei was simply unable to make the connection between the mysterious youth that had helped him in the coliseum of Luoshi+ City way back then and the ‘sex Lord’ that Tian about “Maybe it’s coincidence that they have the same name?”
“Pft! What ‘Four Lords of the Capital’, why do I feel annoyed about that? That ‘sex Lord’ most especially! For some reason, I have the desire to beat hi had spoke out already with a rather discontent tone “Screw it, they’re nothing eneration that rely on their families and parents! Brother, if I want to be fahout the entire world instead! With a greater title than theirs no less!”
Bai Yunfei had been unable to stop hiht No one can beat you as the most handsome person ever Aren’t you the Chivalrous Thief? I think your nickname should be ‘Bandit Chief’ instead”
TL Note: This nickna Handso fro’s novel of the same name
In truth, Bai Yunfei was actuallye his appearance every so often It had been done so much that Bai Yunfei was actually unsure or not if this current appearance of Jing Mingfeng was his true appearance But the insinuation had not been heard, or perhaps the latter had only been paying attention to the very last part of the sentence
“‘Bandit Chief’? shi+t, Ol’Bai, you’re a daenius if you could cofeng had thought ‘seriously’ for a fewout with a deadpan declaration, “I’ve decided! When the greatthat nickname!’
