”Who are you calling peasants you plebian?!” Shen Murong lashed out immediately in reply to this haughty young man that just went up to the third floor.
When Duan Li and his party turned their head to look at this young man with a displeased frown, they found out that this person was the same young man that just got himself slapped into a pig face previously by Duan Li's mother!
Astonishingly however, his swollen face was all but healed now, leaving not a trace of his previous tragic state, revealing his natural dashing looks that could captivate naive women instead!
By the looks of it though, his age doesn't seemed to differ that much than the rest of them here.
”Plebian? Are you blind you peasant? Come and take a look here at my clothes, do I look like a mere commoner to you?” the young man answered as he swiped off his blond hair stylishly.
Shen Murong was just about to teach this insolent fellow when one of the latter's personal bodyguard quickly stepped in.
”Please forgive our young master dear honorable students of the Jixue Knights Academy. Although our young master here appeared to be using crude words, he doesn't mean any ill intentions towards everyone here.” the bodyguard that looked like a veteran warrior apologized with a bow.
He doesn't mean any ill intentions with his words?
My a*s!!
To suddenly call out people as peasants the first time they met, and this was already the second time, yet you are telling me that there was no ill intention behind it?
Then was that a compliment instead?
Do you really take us for a fool?
”Shen Murong, its fine.. sit down.” Duan Li instructed. He doesn't want to cause a ruckus while his mother was here, otherwise things might just escalate even further.
Gritting his teeth, Shen Murong snorted coldly before he sat back on his chair.
”Oh? They are from the Jixue Knights Academy?” the young man said with a surprised look and then cupped his chin as he squinted his eyes to gaze at their uniform up and down, before he shook his head as if disappointed by something.
”It seems that my bodyguard was right, and I apologized for my previous rudeness.” the young man gave out a smile and tilted his head down a little bit to express his sincerity.
This had Duan Li and the rest of them feeling taken aback and confused.
Usually, haughty young man especially the profligate children of the rich clans and family would never back down like this, not to mention apologizing on the spot!
They would instead inflate their status and ego more by saying things like 'Do you know who I am?' or 'I am from this powerful clan' and 'My father is this famous person' and more, in their effort to scare off their opponents so no one would dare to offend them.
However, not only does this young man apologized, his action even seemed sincere!
Are you actually a villain or not?
He then continued, ”But its not entirely my fault! I never expected the uniform of the most prestigious Jixue Knights Academy to be this shabby! Look, even my servants behind me were dressed better!” he pointed.
Hais!
”In order for me to correct this misunderstanding, I've decided to sponsor for a new uniform design of your academy next time!” he nodded with a serious expression.
”...” everyone.
Is this guy serious?
Our uniform was created for both flexibility and durability in mind, why do we have to dress so flamboyantly?
All the servants behind this young man including his personal bodyguard face-palmed themselves as they sighed, making it look like they were already resigned to this and that such things had occurred numerous times already that they were no longer surprised.
”Oh by the way, my name is Fei Liquan! Fei as in from the most richest clan in the whole Jiu Empire!” he finally introduced himself with a unique signature bow of the nobles.
The Fei clan?
It was then that they finally understood why this young man was so haughty, and he was indeed qualified to act as so. After all, there was no clan that was more wealthy than the Fei clan!
In fact, their total wealth and assets amounts to one-fourth of the Jiu Empire!
Duan Li wasn't versed in this, so Shen Lu briefed him on the details with a whisper.
”Eh? Then does that mean that Fei Longwei here is also from the Fei clan since his surname is also Fei?” Duan Li said as he turned his head towards the other party, whom still hid his face with the dark shadow skill.
”Fei Longwei?” the young man called Fei Liquan was startled when he heard this name. He then quickly shifted his gaze towards the direction that Duan Li stared at and found the person in question.
Sighing deeply, Fei Longwei cancelled his shadow cloak on his face, revealing himself. When Fei Liquan saw this, he jumped up in excitement as he quickly dashed towards Fei Longwei.
”Brother Long!”
Eh?
Again, they were surprised by this. From the nickname that this Fei Liquan used to call out Fei Longwei, it seems that their relationship were very close with each other.
”Brother Liquan.. its been a while..” Fei Longwei greeted the other party with a smile. This was rare for Duan Li and the others to see, as the latter was usually indifferent and emotionless for most of the time, appearing like a man of solitude.
”Uwahh! Brother Long! How many years has it been, I've missed you!” Fei Liquan bawled out into tears, and it took quite a while for him to settle down.
...
Fei Longwei sighed before he turned to them and explained, ”This person here is the young scion of the Fei Clan, and what his personal bodyguard said over there just now was true, while his words were harsh, he doesn't mean anything behind it.”
