“Trouble?” Zhou Tianwei was slightly taken aback, then a smile appeared on his face, “Brother Qin, if you face any troubles, just say it.”
He was just afraid that this young man would not have anything to ask of him.
However, Shu Xin, standing beside Qin Yichen, was so shocked by his attitude that she was in a daze. [Wh-what am I seeing!? Is he the one who I have been bullying all the way here? To think he was actually addressed as… Brother Qin by the famous Young Master Zhou of the Royal City!?]
Zhou Tianwei, although not listed among the Three Outstanding Prodigies of Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty, had a temperament even more arrogant than them. No one in the Royal City had ever seen him being polite to anyone, let alone addressing someone as ‘Brother’.
[What kind of background does this guy have!?] Shu Xin found that she was increasingly unable to understand this young man, who was only a year or two older than her.
“It’s not a big deal, just that I brought a batch of goods, and as soon as I entered the Royal City, they were robbed. I wonder if Brother Zhou can step in and help me get them back.”
Qin Yichen, however, remained calm in front of Zhou Tianwei, without flattering him.
“Alas, the kind-hearted and righteous are always bullied. Oh poor me. All my precious, irreplaceable belongings…” As he spoke, he sighed, as if he had suffered a great injustice. He even shortly burst into tears.
Zhou Tianwei naturally did not believe a word he said. [You, kind and righteous? You are someone who can ignore my plight and still bargain with me. If you are ‘kind and righteous’, this world would be left with no bad actors!]
Still, the fact that he had suffered a loss made him secretly pleased. However, outwardly, Zhou Tianwei said in overt indignation, “Who is so bold as to dare rob Brother Qin’s things? Come! Prepare the carriage!”
…
At this moment, at the gate of the Shu Family Residence, a group of guards were busy unloading goods from the carriage.
In front of the gate, there were several people in bright robes, looking satisfied at the boxes being unloaded.
“Big Brother, that kid who injured Lanqing is really arrogant.” Shu Ruyan’s Third Uncle, at this moment, was speaking with a smile to a man who looked a bit older than him.
Shu Lanqing was Shu Ruyan’s Cousin, the Son of Shu Family’s Eldest Uncle. He was the young man whose ribs were broken by Qin Yichen’s kick.
*Hmph!* Hearing the Third Uncle’s words, the Eldest Uncle snorted coldly. His smile slightly faded as he asked, “Third Brother, how come you only brought these goods, where are that kid and the Sisters? Why didn’t you bring them along?”
“Don’t worry, Big Brother. I’ve made sure that these goods are the last of those two girls’ funds. As long as we have these things in our hands, we would no longer need to worry about them. They will obediently comply with all our requests.”
The Third Uncle laughed coldly, a hidden fierceness flashing in his eyes. He continued to explain, “However, that kid who injured Lanqing said he knows Zhou Tianwei, the Young Master of the Zhou Family, so we let him slip away for now.”
“Zhou Tianwei?” Hearing this name, the Eldest Uncle’s pupils suddenly contracted, a strong wariness appearing in his eyes.
The people standing around also froze slightly, even seeming a bit uneasy.
Who in the entire Royal City did not know of Zhou Tianwei, the Young Master of the Zhou Family? That was an existence who could destroy them with just a sneeze!
“Big Brother, don’t worry. That kid doesn’t even know where the Zhou Family is, how could he possibly know Young Master Zhou?”
Just as everyone was feeling uneasy, the Third Uncle laughed again.
Hearing this, everyone felt relieved. Zhou Tianwei was such a proud and lofty existence. How could he be so easy to get acquainted with? In their view, Qin Yichen was just trying to use Zhou Tianwei’s name to intimidate them. Did they really think they were that stupid?
“Hmph! Those two girls have really grown wings! Now, they’re even associating with such an arrogant and shameless scoundrel! This time, we must teach those Sisters a good lesson!”
“That’s right, after Fourth Uncle passed away, look at what those two women have done to our Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce!”
“Eldest Uncle, we should quickly take back the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce!”
“The marriage between Lanqing and Ruyan should be held as soon as possible, we can’t keep delaying it and miss the opportunity…”
Realising that they seemed to have been scared, everyone immediately became angry out of embarrassment, all clamoured one after another.
And the Eldest Uncle, standing in the middle of the crowd, hearing these ‘requests’, his expression became extremely ‘proper’, as if he was considering them.
“Haaaaa… originally, for the sake of Fourth Brother, I didn’t want to make things difficult or blame my two Nieces. But, since everyone is now asking for this, for the future development of our Shu Family, I can only reluctantly take back the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce and manage it myself!”
The Eldest Uncle had a righteous face, his sighing appearance seemed as if he was being forced by them to reluctantly agree.
It seemed that in their mouths, the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce that Shu Ruyan’s Father had painstakingly created had become the private property of the Shu Family. And the Shu Ruyan Sisters had become the culprits who stole their property!
As they were discussing, the Eldest Uncle and the Third Uncle exchanged glances, both revealing smug smiles in their eyes.
In their view, the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce was already in their hands!
*Clop clop…* Just then, the sound of carriage wheels came from the street, and then a Noble and splendid Demonic Beast drawn carriage appeared in their sight.
On the magnificent Demonic Beast drawn carriage flew a flag with the word ‘Zhou’, causing the many pedestrians on the street to hurriedly make way, not daring to block its path.
In the Royal City, only the direct descendants of the Zhou Family, one of the four Major Families, had the right to raise a ‘Zhou’ flag on their carriages. No one else had the qualification.
In other words, inside this carriage before them was a direct descendant of the Zhou Family!
What people could not understand was why a direct descendant of the Zhou Family would come to this street…
However, what caught people’s attention the most were the two Wolf-like Demonic Beasts pulling the carriage.
Their huge bodies were like Oxens, emitting a kind of terrifying ferocity that made people’s hearts palpitate. These two Green Wolves were actually comparable to Martial Grandmasters!
Seeing these two Demonic Beasts, everyone in front of the Shu Family gate could not help but draw in a sharp breath.
Using two Green Wolves to pull the carriage, the identity of the owner of this carriage was obvious!
In the entire Royal City, only Zhou Tianwei of the Zhou Family, favoured by the dynasty’s number one Alchemy Grandmaster, Master Gu Ye, had been gifted two Green Wolves as carriage-pulling Demonic Beasts.
“Young… Young… Young Master Zhou…”
After seeing these two Green Wolves, the group of people at the Shu Family gate all turned pale, and those guards who were unloading goods also stopped.
After all, the direction that the carriage was heading towards was them!
“Didn’t you say he couldn’t possibly know Zhou Tianwei!?” The Shu Family’s Eldest Uncle now had completely lost the previous righteousness on his face. It was completely replaced by terror and panic.
