Yuchi had just finished speaking. Hahaha, is this young man here to crack us up? Although it seemed to snow a bit this morning, it’s now stopped snowing and the ground isn’t that slippery. Don’t be so ridiculous! This tiny piece of silver at most could buy a hundred coins, others couldn’t buy such opportunities for a thousand taels, and now with just a hundred coins, you want four female disciples to dine with you? You’re dreaming! Plus, you won’t even part with your silver, what kind of meal are you going to invite others to? Even if it’s just beef noodles at a roadside stall, five people would cost no more than twenty coins each. You expect to have fun with these four for twenty coins a person? Won’t that beef come with some scrapes instead? That’s truly hilarious. The snarky voice of the thousand-tael young master chimed in: "Little brother, pursuing a girl isn’t done this way. Sometimes, when you lack strength, it’s best to let go. Forced pursuit makes things awkward for both sides without necessity, eh." "If you’re truly short on cash, I can sponsor you one tael of silver. If the ladies agree, you can treat them to a nice meal or enjoy one yourself." "Let’s not try to make a show of presence right now. There’s a plethora of masters in this world. Don’t think you’re invincible because it’s ridiculous to say such words." Actually, everyone could see it. Shen Qinghan and the others, though it’s unclear which sect they hail from, they should be from a formidable one. Despite being so beautiful, no one dared to snatch them or act rampant in public. Even this thousand-tael young master is here for business talks; if it works, it works, or else no one dares to forcibly take them; what if there’s someone super powerful backing them? Wouldn’t that spell doom? "No matter what, this young man knows how to stir things up with just a hundred coins, which is mere showmanship." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⟡𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵 Earlier, he felt a bit unsatisfied, given that even a thousand taels couldn’t secure a woman, but after witnessing Yuchi, he suddenly felt superior. Yes, you compare depending who it’s with; true masters are incomparable, but compared to this naive youth, he felt far stronger. "Give it up... It’s no good for you, bro. Stop watching them and look at me. Let’s go have tea together," the thousand-tael young master said casually with closed eyes. Yuchi calmly walked past him without interaction; if he did respond, it would’ve been his loss. "Pack up, we’re leaving." He walked ahead alone, while the four female disciples hastily tidied up their things, leaving the table behind, trailing cautiously, thinking it’s all gone wrong. They wanted to surprise the sect leader but brought a shock instead. Outskirts of the inner circle. "Yinghan, let’s go, find a private room, I’ll introduce you to some people," Yuchi said quietly to Song Yinghan. Song Yinghan nodded blankly, "Oh, alright!" The crowd unwillingly cleared a path, a solemn silence watched them leave. After a dozen breaths, the place erupted into noise. They truly couldn’t comprehend it! Brother, sister, heavens, earth, why is this happening? Just a hundred coins no less, yet it fooled four girls into following? Not a penny was spent on them, with four girls in tow. Brother, can you really handle them alone?! If not, bring us along! And weren’t these four girls impervious to even a thousand taels before? Why is this? Could there be tricks involved, or is there a new game in Canglan City? Bystanders definitely couldn’t comprehend this; it was so illogical it seemed like a dream: "Could it be that this young man and the four girls knew each other and he acted this way to show off?" Someone’s mind came up with such ideas but quickly realized this wasn’t showing off; it was genuinely clever. He controlled the four lasses, getting them to act along! The crux is, we thought this was a joke! Turns out, we are the joke?! The crowd babbled in frenzy, making that place unbearable, claiming it toxic! As the crowd dispersed, incredulous, it seemed to provide dinner-lore for conversation tonight. While the thousand-tael young master stood there alone, mulling over it. "When it comes to silver, how can my thousand taels not compare to a measly hundred coins? It’s impossible." "What does this young man have that drew these four over?" "Could it be he has strengths unknown to me?" Reflecting on his previous act, the thousand-tael young master covered his face, ashamed, and dashed away.
