681 The Strategy (1/2)
By this time Zhou Bao was in a very bad mood.
Anybody who encountered a situation like this would go crazy. If Wang She or the Child-endowing Buddha heard about this, they would split their sides laughing.
Someone shouted and swore at him in a crowded tavern in his very own Wuyang Region. The damn urban management officers did not do a thing but just stood there laughing. What kind of f*cking urban management was this?
They were basically soft and powerless.
Seeing Zhou Bao suddenly stand up among the crowd, pointing at his nose and swearing, the scholar was stunned at first. He then reacted. Straightening himself up, he asked, ”Who do you think you are, daring to rant and rage in the Cloud Crane Tavern?”
”F*ck!” Zhou Bao cursed quietly. No longer saying anything, he lifted his hand. There was a cracking sound. The scholar who had just been shouting was slapped twice.
Now, the whole tavern was silent.
”It's not a case of daring. I can do what I want,” Zhou Bao said coldly. In a moment he was by the scholar, clutching him with his hand. ”Boy, you should know there's a price to pay for swearing!”
”Your Excellency has such skills, why would you make things difficult for a scholar? Maybe all the feats you learned could be used to show this weak scholar your might?”
”Hmph, you finally appeared? I thought you were hiding upstairs!”
”If you hit my brother, of course I will come out!”
Zhou Bao smiled. This Feng Xuan really had the capital to attract women. He was tall, handsome, and masculine. Zhou Bao thought about his own appearance, and looking at this boy, he got even angrier.
”F*ck, what does this boy think he can gain from being so handsome? Does he think he can seduce my daughter with that damn handsome face?”
This Feng Xuan had grown to be a talented person, very smart and very attractive. When Zhou Bao looked at him, anger burned inside him.
His daughter was only thirteen years old and she was tempted by this boy. This was not comfortable to live with. Out of the corner of his eye, Zhou saw a short blade glint strangely at the boy's waist and had a very familiar feeling.
”Sh*t, is that the Pure Yang Celestial Device grade wizard weapon I dredged up from the Sea Area? How could this boy have it on his waist?” Looking at the short blade, Zhou Bao's anger reached its limit. ”So you are Feng Xuan?”
”Yes. I am Feng Xuan. May I ask Your Excellency, what is your name?”
”Look, Feng Xuan is talking with someone again!”
”Quick, quick! Go to the Cloud Crane Tavern, there's going to be another fight!”
”It's Feng Xuan again. It's the seventh time this month. This time something big will go down!”
”The owner Li Yunhe has no idea what kind of place this is. Every day there's a commotion. Saying that in Wuyang Region everything was really bad. And he still has the nerve to slander His Excellency King Wuyang. If it was anyone else, he would have been taken away by the urban management right away!”
”Oh. Don't tell him, let him think he has a good brother!”
”But Feng Xuan is too arrogant. There is nobody in Wuyang Region as arrogant as him.”
”It's not his fault he looks down upon everybody. I don't know why, but the Great Commander Jiang is very lenient with him.”
”Yes. I don't know what kind of upbringing Feng Xuan had. But Great Commander Jiang is too tolerant of him. Could it be Feng Xuan is his illegitimate child?”
”What are you saying? If he was his illegitimate child, Great Commander Jiang would not be able to protect him so openly. No, I think he must be the illegitimate child of His Royal Highness!”
”Well, I suppose it's possible. Great Commander Jiang and Zhu would not tolerate him so much otherwise!”
”Yes, but this boy is so arrogant. Do you think that maybe he has support from somewhere in the Wuyang Region that's allowed him to survive this long?”
While Zhou Bao and Feng Xuan were talking, the place was in a commotion. People were saying all kinds of things. Zhou Bao understood Feng Xuan's actions in some way. This scholar was in the tavern all day wantonly proclaiming Zhou Bao's shortcomings, saying bad things about him, and saying that Jiang Xiao and Zhu Ba did not care about him. As for why they did not care, Zhou Bao imagined what the reason could be. In the beginning, they could not be said to care as such. It was Zhou Qing who had stepped in so that this boy could survive until now, with all his arrogance.
