Chapter 766
In addition to Di Beichen, when did Baili Hongzhuang find another husband?
Xia Zhiqing's heart was filled with questions. This wasn't right, she had never even heard of the existence of this young master.
When he listened to Mo Yunjue's affirmative answer, Nangong Xiujie's face was ugly to behold. It was no wonder that Baili Hongzhuang was so arrogant before, she was holding the thigh of Mo Yunjue!
Nangong Xiujie and Nangong Yujin looked at one another, it seemed that they couldn't get what they wanted today.
Mo Yunjue was a special existence in their eyes, just as the First Tower was a special existence within the Imperial Capital.
Originally they thought that Mo Yunjue was just an ordinary businessman. When they wanted to bring the chef from the First Tower into the palace to cook in their kitchens, the chef refused and they wanted to kill the chef.
They would never have thought that their father would save the chef, and reprimanded them, saying that no matter what, it was best to not provoke Mo Yunjue.
At the beginning it was obvious that the Emperor felt that Mo Yunjue's ident.i.ty was a taboo and they felt shocked.
Their father was so strong, the other party was just a restaurant owner, but even their father feared him, showing that he was not a simple character.
Neither Nangong Xiujie nor Nangong Yujin were stupid people. Since then they had been very polite towards Mo Yunjue and never gotten into any contradictions with him.
"Since it is Mrs. Mo, naturally we will not mind it," Nangong Xiujie slowly said.
Watching how the change in the att.i.tude of Nangong Xiujie happened so fast, the eyes of Baili Hongzhuang and the others showed confusion.
This change was simply too fast!
"What is the ident.i.ty of this Mo Gongzi? These two princes are so scared of him," The eyes of Dongfang Yu blinked with uneasiness. They wouldn't have gone from the ashes and into the fire, would they?
After all, this Mo Gongzi would not help her for no reason.
Gong Shaoqing had a heavy expression on his face. When he faced the two princes he still didn't worry so much, but the sudden appearance of Mo Yunjue was too hard to understand.
"I don't know, let us wait and see,"
"I accidentally broke a table, let the waiter put it on my tab," Nangong Xiujie said, "Yujin and myself have some things we need to do, so we must take our leave."
"The table wasn't stable enough, the second prince just helped me find a faulty table, how could I ask the second prince to pay for it?"
Mo Yunjue's lips were raised in a slight smile, but there was no chance in the emotions deep within his eyes.
"Well then, we will meet the next time the two princes come to the First Tower. I hope that you will come often," Seeing that Mo Yunjue gave them a chance to step back, their expressions also softened.
"That's good, thank you Mo Gongzi."
As the voice fell, Nangong Xiujie and Nangong Yujin were no longer willing to stay at the First Tower for even a minute. Today they had really lost face.
After leaving through the entrance of the First Tower, Nangong Yujin's face was gloomy, "I did not expect such a thing to happen!"
At this moment the feelings in his heart could only be described as extremely regrettable. Originally he thought that today's harvest would be good, they never thought that it would not be a blessing but a loss of face.
Nangong Xiujie's face was even uglier. "Yujin, do you think that Baili Hongzhuang is really Mo Yunjue's wife?"
"I don't know," Nangong Yujin shook his head. "If not, why would he help her?"
"I don't know," Nangong Xiujie was also puzzled. He was quite certain that this was the first time Baili Hongzhuang had appeared in the Imperial Capital.
If this was the case, then Baili Hongzhuang and Mo Yunjue should not know each other, and if they did not know one another it'd be impossible for Mo Yunjue to help her.
He often came to the First Tower, and although Mo Yunjue came and went like a ghost, he had still seen him several times.
According to his understanding, Mo Yunjue had never been the kind of person who liked to help others. On the contrary, Mo Yunjue absolutely hated trouble.
Was it really like this? Was Baili Hongzhuang truly the wife of Mo Yunjue?
It seems to be the only explanation. They also seemed very matching.
After Nangong Xiujie an Nangong Yujin left, the waiter also walked to the side of Mo Yunjue.
"Boss… You…" Mo Yunjue lifted his right hand and stopped the waiters words. "Come here and clean up."
"Yes!"
Baili Hongzhuang returned the child to Mo Yunjue. "Is this your child?"
Mo Yunjue shook his head, "I don't even have a lady, how can I have a child? I just heard your conversation and borrowed the child from someone else."
When the voice of Mo Yunjue fell, Xia Zhiqing and the others felt relieved.
It seemed that the situation was not as bad as they thought, this Mo Yunjue was just trying to help out.
"Hongzhuang, do you know this Mo Gongzi?" Xia Zhiqing could not help but ask.
Looking at the way the two were talking together, it was clearly not the first time they met.
Baili Hongzhuang nodded her head as she smiled. "Yes, let me introduce you all. This is Mo Yunjue, I met him a few times, he is my friend."
If she had been unsure last time when they met in Languang Town, now she could definitely be certain that Mo Yunjue was her good friend.
After all, she was not an ungrateful person and Mo Yunjue had helped her again today, it was clear that they were friends by now.
Looking back at Mo Yunjue, Baili Hongzhuang continued to introduce, "These are my cla.s.smates from the Canglan college."
Mo Yunjue nodded slightly to everyone, "It is a pleasure to meet you."
Gong Shaoqing and the others also nodded in greeting. Their impression of Mo Yunjue was quite good, at least he had helped them solve a big issue just now.
"Thank you for just before," Baili Hongzhuang said, as her eyes were filled with sincere grat.i.tude.
Mo Yunjue just shook his hand and said, "I couldn't just watch, I hope you didn't mind."
Baili Hongzhuang nodded, "I understand, you were just cooperating with me."
When they heard Mo Yunjue say this, they had an even more favourable impression of him.
It seems that this Mo Yunjue was truly a gentleman.
"Mo Gongzi, are you the boss of the First Tower?" Xia Zhiqing could not forget how the waiter had referred to him as boss, and she looked at
"Yes, I am a businessman," he said, and he could not help but glance at Baili Hongzhuang.
Baili Hongzhuang was also finding it a bit comical, although Mo Yunjue had said he was a businessman before, she had not felt he looked like one.
She did not expect him to run such an ordinary business as a restaurant. This was out of her expectations.
"Mo Gongzi is a wonderful person who is very eloquent. The First Tower is completely different from any other restaurant, Mo Gongzi is truly a dragon amongst men." Cui Haoyan praised.
"Cui Gongzi also has a good reputation. In the future you should come to the First Tower often so we can all gather together, I'll naturally treat you all." Moyun answered in a calm manner.
In the eyes of Baili Hongzhuang was a bit of doubt. She could not help but feel that the Mo Yunjue she saw today was a bit different from the one she had met at the Luoyun Mountains.
At that time, Mo Yunjue had this gloomy aura around him, but now it was obviously much lighter. The only thing which had not changed was the pair of black eyes that was showing a dense darkness.
After a bit of conversation, Baili Hongzhuang and the others got up and left. They had been out for long enough.
The two mentors and the vice president were likely to have already finished discussing the situation and might even have returned.
Mo Yunjue did not say much, he just sent them out the entrance to the First Tower.
"Hongzhuang, I did not expect that you knew people in the Qing Dynasty!"
Xia Zhiqing's eyes sparkled with excitement, Baili Hongzhuang was truly too powerful, and even they, as her friends, did not know too much about her.
Baili Hongzhuang smiled lightly, "I have only met him twice. That he helped me today was also out of my expectations."
Although Dongfang Yu and the others did not speak, they were also filled with admiration.
Since they had gotten to know Baili Hongzhuang she had truly stunned them time and time again, but now they were used to it.
"I did not expect that Nangong Xiujie and Nangong Yujun turned out to be that kind of people. Although they did not do anything to us because of Mo Yunjue today, I believe they will do their best to cause problems when we enter the tournament."
Zhan Yunfeng frowned, according to her judgement, Nangong Xiujie and Nanong Yujin were both people that would cause problems. She was afraid that there would be a lot of troubles in the future.
Xia Zhiqing put her hand on Zhan Yunfeng's shoulder, her face filled with a smile. "Yunfeng, why do you worry so much? Even if we had not insulted them today, we were still destined to be enemies at the tournament."
"Thank you," Zhan Yunfeng couldn't help but laugh. "That is also true, but we still have to be careful."
The others nodded their heads, this college tournament was truly a feast of Hongmen.
"I don't know how ugly Nangong Xiujie's expression will be when he realizes that we are students of the Canglan College," Xia Zhiqing said with a smile, "I am sure it will be very exciting."
"Hongzhuang, when Nangong Xiujie finds out that you aren't Mo Yunjue's wife, will he blame Mo Yunjue?"
Cui Haoyan showed a hint of worry. Mo Yunjue had acted to save them, so naturally he was their friend now.
They could leave the Qing Dynasty after the tournament, but the restaurant of Mo Yunjue couldn't.
If this would cause problems for Mo Yunjue, they would feel uncomfortable and guilty.
Baili Hongzhuang's eyes flashed strangely. "It shouldn't be a problem. Since Mo Yunjue could make the two princes this afraid, then he must have some backing."
She was certain that Mo Yunjue was not a simple character and that his backing was rather outstanding.
Otherwise it was impossible to cause even the Emperor to be afraid.
Since Mo Yunjue had helped them, he had to be certain that nothing would happen to him.
After the return of Baili Hongzhuang and the others, it did not take long before Lu Huaiyan returned with Huan Chuyou.
After seeing Baili Hongzhuang and the others, Huan Chuyou slowly said, "You did a good thing today. Canglan College is not to be humiliated like this, this matter was wrong by Lingyin College."
Even though he was usually a very kind person, at this moment, his face was showing traces of anger. The method that the Lingyin College used was simply over the top.
Xia Zhiqing and the others were also relieved. Since even the vice princ.i.p.al agreed with their actions they did not have to worry about anything.
"We will stay in this inn and see how Lingyin College intends to resolve this matter, since they invited us to come, naturally it is their responsibility."
The expression of Huan Chuyou revealed a trace of pride. Although the Lingyin College was strong, the Canglan College students and mentors were not soft persimmons either.
Baili Hongzhuang returned to the room, they had full faith in the vice princ.i.p.als ability to handle this matter.
He was not only the vice princ.i.p.al at the Canglan College, he was also a four tier alchemist!
This is an ident.i.ty which was enough to attract the respect of others!
At the same time, inside the Lingyin College, things were starting to change.
Ruan Yulong's face was very ugly. He originally wanted to embarra.s.s Canglan College, but he did not want to be the one who was embarra.s.sed.
The vice president of Lingyin College, Lin Yinghao, also had an ugly expression on his face. "This time you have gone too far. It is fine to go a little overboard, but the Canglan College is not a vegetarian, they will not let you stomp all over them."
It is clear that the team from Canglan College has already made up their mind. Unless they come and personally invite them, then they would not return.
Their college tournament was prepared especially for the Canglan College. If they don't partic.i.p.ate, then that will be equivalent to wasting all their hard work.
The most important thing is that now Canglan College was in charge. If the team did not partic.i.p.ate then Lingyin College would get a reputation of being incompetent.
Ruan Yulong's eyes were also serious, obviously this time he had gone too far, and he was not sure how to solve it.
"Vice president, this was indeed too much, but I don't know what to do now!"
Ruan Yulong looked at Lin Yinghao with a hopeful gleam in his eyes, hoping that he could save him and ensure that he did not lose his position in the college.
"You were too reckless, it is impossible to not be punished. As for how to solve this problem, I will discuss it with the princ.i.p.al." Lin Yinghao said faintly.
With Lin Yinghao's voice falling, Ruan Yulong's heart sank. He understood that Lin Yinghao was telling the truth, and he was the one who had brought this problem onto himself.
But why didn't he consider the reaction of the Canglan College? The more he thought about their decisive att.i.tude, the more he hated them.
When the college tournament began, he would never let them off easily!
The next day, Baili Hongzhuang got up early. They had heard about the Wubao Pavilion in the Qing Dynasty. It was a place with treasures that all cultivators needed.
Last night they had planned to go to Wubao Pavilion to look around, but the appearance of Nangong Xiujie had made them lose too much time and they had to cancel.
When Baili Hongzhuang exited the room, she saw that Xia Zhiqing and the others were already waiting for her outside.
Currently they all thought that living in the inn was much better than living in the Lingyin College. With the att.i.tude Lingyin College had towards them, it was clearly a matter of not being able to live well.
Now that they lived outside, they were all very happy, there was no problem with coming and going as they pleased.
"Hongzhuang, you are finally up," Xia Zhiqing's face was filled with a happy smile as she quickly walked next to Baili Hongzhuang.
Baili Hongzhuang nodded her head slightly. She could see that Xia Zhiqing's mood was not affected by the college tournament, that she saw their trip to the Qing Dynasty as an outing, and she could not help but smile.
She had to admit that Xia Zhiqing's mentality was really good, ordinary things could not affect her mood at all.
Not only Baili Hongzhuang, but also Zhan Yunfeng and the others felt that Xia Zhiqing was a hyper person, which made them all feel much better.
"Since everyone has arrived, lets go," Dongfang Yu said as he looked at all of them.
Wubao Pavilion was very famous in the Qing Dynasty's Imperial City. Just asking around, everyone knew the location of the pavilion.
When they arrived in front of the Wubao Pavilion, their eyes could not help but widen slightly as they looked at the purple-black building.
The building was delicate and it was obvious that the architects had spent a lot of time thinking about the construction of this building. A strong sense of power came from the building, making everyone feel a sense of respect from just looking at it.
Wubao Pavilion was split into three layers. The first layer had medication and herbs needed by the different cultivators. The second layer had weapons needed by cultivators and the third, and final, layer had inscriptions.
Not even mentioning the first and second layers, the third layer alone was enough to consolidate the status of Wubao Pavilion.
Inscriptions had always been rare, and many pract.i.tioners had no way of getting in touch with such inscriptions. However there were inscriptions in the Wubao Pavilion. How could cultivators not revere this place?
They slowly walked into the Wubao Pavilion. As soon as they entered they could see that the business was good. There were a lot of pract.i.tioners inside buying the medicines and herbs they needed.
Medicines and herbs were easy to consume and after they had been consumed they would be gone, as such the cultivators had a great demand for them.
The layout of this Wubao Pavilion was very different from other shops and it was giving a sense of comfort when one was inside.
Baili Hongzhuang's eyes were filled with a fascinating gleam of praise. Wubao Pavilion was truly a famous place within the Imperial Capital and the things they had here were also eye-opening.
"The medicines and herbs in this Wubao Pavilion are so many, and many of the things that are hard to find and exceedingly rare can be found here." It was hard for Xia Zhiqing to hide her excitement.
The prices were naturally very high, but it was often so that, even if you had the money, you couldn't buy them.
The amount of items in the Wubao Pavilion was without a doubt the most she had ever seen, it was clear why they were doing so well.
Bai Junyu's face lit up with a smile that radiated like suns.h.i.+ne. "This Qing Dynasty is a big country, the number of alchemists is much higher than in smaller countries, naturally it can't be compared."
Xia Zhiqing nodded slightly. This was also the power of a big country, it was very rich, it was truly an eyeopener.
"If you need anything, then go buy it," Gong Shaoqing said slowly. The market price in Wubao Pavilion was quite fair, and one would not suffer a loss from buying their items here.
