680 Incompetent Urban Managemen (1/2)

Zhou Bao had a fearsome reputation that had spread throughout the Seven-deity Regions and even the Heaven Realm macro worlds. But when it came to his kids, the problems they caused were like a flea on his head he could not scratch away.

This kind of thing had never happened to him before, so he had no idea how to solve it and this irritated him. They were getting older and getting into situations that gave him headaches. His son could not be helped. If he were to f*ck himself to death with some woman, so be it. But he could not just stand by while his precious baby daughter was cheated by some b*stard.

”Feng Xuan, Feng Xuan! Damn it! I want to know, what ability you actually have to allure our thirteen-year-old daughter away?” When this thought came to him, Zhou Bao could not sit still. After pacing around his room a short while, he changed his clothes and left the King Wuyang Palace.

Wuyang Region was his territory. Since it was established it had rapidly developed into the most flourishing territory in the Jin Dynasty and even the Central Mainland Region. What had been a small town underneath Jilei Mountain had grown into King Wuyang City, and around King Wuyang City grew various other cities big and small. The whole area was now bustling and affluent.

The streets were full of traffic. Although Zhou Bao looked refined and handsome, there were many other such men here. So among the bustling streets of King Wuyang City, Zhou Bao did not look particularly special.

What was more, although he was the leader of the Wuyang Region, he had never appeared before the people there. The ways of the world here were different to those in his previous life. In the age of the television screen, newspapers and internet, a celebrity's face could be spread across the entire world overnight. When Zhou Bao became famous, his portrait had been circulated among every powerful family of the Central Mainland Region, but not among the common people. The Wuyang Region was his territory, who would dare spread his portrait around?

Unlike in his past life, people who distributed portraits of leaders could be prosecuted, and this could ruin families. Therefore, walking on the street in his green robe, Zhou Bao looked like a harmless scholar, and nobody recognized him.

His cultivation had reached the Human Immortal level, and his Dharma power coalesced and covered his whole body. He did not need to use the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill, he just needed his Dharma power tied into one strand so that not one thread of spirit leaked out. He looked like a mere scholar with no martial arts skill.

When he came out it was noon, the busiest time in the market. Wherever he walked, the streets were crowded with people. There were people everywhere, setting up stalls, selling, and smashing down stalls.

Smashing down stalls?

Were they smashing down stalls!

Yes. In Wuyang Region there were urban management officials smashing down stalls.

Zhou Bao had created a position in urban management to uphold order in the markets, particularly in King Wuyang City. You had to be strict with the guys setting up stalls, otherwise you could not walk the streets for there would be too many vendors in the way.

The urban management fulfilled their role by smashing down stalls.

”F*ck, this urban management thing. It doesn't matter which world you go to, it's all the same!” Zhou Bao thought to himself. He wanted to take care of it, but then he had second thoughts. It was he who had set up the urban management. If he were to put an end to stall smashing, enforcement would not be as strict. It would not be good for the city to fall into disorder. He decided to let the matter be. Besides, even though they were smashing down stalls to enforce the law they were still acting reasonably. As long as they were not indiscriminately beating people, he could turn a blind eye.

Zhou Bao was allured by the street scene, and he strolled about for a bit. Suddenly, he came around. ”Damn it, I came out to look for the unlucky fellow courting my daughter, not to have a stroll!”

He was embarrassed when he realized that he was so out of sorts that he had not asked her any questions. He only knew that the boy was called Feng Xuan. He did not even know what he looked like or where he was. Who was this unlucky fellow he was looking for?

Just as he was thinking about this, a man appeared at his side. ”Please come inside, Sir!”

”What?” Zhou Bao turned and smiled, but he did not know what to say. It seemed he had come to a tavern with a huge entrance.

”Cloud Crane Tavern. Good name!” Zhou Bao smiled. Since he was here, he might as well get a bite to eat.

He had reached the Realm of Human Immortals, eating food meant nothing to him. That being said, he still enjoyed a bit of good food.

Zhou Bao frowned when he walked in. It was noon, peak time. The place was packed, there was not even space to walk. There was a waiter outside bringing customers in, but he didn't know where to put them.

But business was business. Zhou Bao was worried, but the waiter was not. He just led Zhou Bao this way and that through the restaurant to a free place in the corner. There were still people in the corner, just fewer. There were people crowded around the table. Zhou Bao smiled as he realized this.

”I'm at a table with strangers, I didn't think the business in this restaurant would be so good! The food here must be excellent,” Zhou Bao thought as he sat looking forward to his lunch.

He did not refuse to share a table with others; he sat straight down. As he did so, he started scrutinizing the restaurant. He was quite surprised, out of every ten people in the restaurant, eight or nine were scholars. None of them seemed to be acquainted with one another, in fact, they were all sat with strangers. This roused Zhou Bao's curiosity.

Zhou Bao looked at the person sitting opposite him. He too was a scholar, quite old, about forty. It seemed this scholar had seen many changes. Beside him was a huge trunk of travel-worn books.
