"ah?"
"What's going on?"
"Bai Can got slapped to the ground again?"
"How is this possible... Bai Can is the youngest general in the Great Xia Dynasty, a first-rank martial artist!"
A few people who were watching the commotion outside spoke up.
The capital city is vast, but the social circles are limited... all the high-ranking officials and nobles know each other.
If even one person knows Bai Can, they only need to gossip for a little while to figure out who the three people in the room are.
"He knocked down a first-rank martial artist with a single slap. Could Xiao Yu be a grandmaster?"
"Hiss! He...a Grandmaster?!"
"Looking across the entire capital, where else can you find such a young grandmaster? Only Liu Jingtao, the dean of the Martial Academy, and his precious daughter could possess such talent, right?"
"Liu Jingtao is a martial arts genius of the Great Xia Kingdom! His daughter, having been personally taught by him, naturally resembles her father! But... isn't Xiao Yu an idiot? Where did he get his talent?"
The sounds of fighting inside the house attracted even more people.
Everyone was chattering away, curious about what level Xiao Yu had reached.
Inside the house.
Hearing the whispers of the crowd, Bai Can felt a burning pain on his face.
It wasn't just the pain from Xiao Yu's beating that made him feel so humiliated by being slapped in the face in public; he wished there was a crack in the ground he could disappear into.
"Brother Can, let's go..."
Chu Tianjiao also felt a burning pain on her face. She had never cared about Xiao Yu's martial arts level and had no idea that Xiao Yu was so powerful.
While feeling guilty, I also felt resentful... How could a fool become a martial arts master?!
"Walk."
Bai Can stood up absentmindedly and followed Chu Tianjiao, the two of them leaving with their heads down.
"Remember to pay for it; you ruined their floor."
Xiao Yu said casually from behind.
Bai Can's body stiffened. At this moment, he really wanted to tear Xiao Yu, that bastard, to pieces to vent his anger!
But the difference in strength calmed him down. Bai Can seemed not to hear him and left even faster...
After leaving the Jade Liquid Pavilion and walking several hundred steps, Bai Can's face still stung, but the embarrassment and shame had lessened considerably.
"Tianjiao, how could that idiot Xiao Yu be so powerful?"
Bai Can finally couldn't hold back and asked unwillingly, "What level is he at? He's an idiot with intellectual disabilities, he can't possibly be a grandmaster, can he?!"
"I...I don't know..."
Chu Tianjiao frowned, gritted her teeth, and said bitterly, "Even I was fooled by that idiot! I never liked him, so naturally I didn't pay attention to his martial arts level... Maybe it's just because he's an idiot, immersed in martial arts every day, that he got lucky for a while!"
I said that, but I was still feeling a little jealous.
You should know that Chu Tianjiao has been cultivating desperately, consuming a lot of precious medicinal herbs, and he is only a second-grade martial artist now.
"No matter how capable he is, he's just a fool... I don't need to care too much about him."
Bai Can comforted himself, then suddenly remembered something and asked curiously, "Tianjiao, Xiao Yu just said the moon on the fifteenth of August... and something about it being very white. What's going on? Why did you freeze up when he said those things and not dare to attack him?"
"ah."
Chu Tianjiao was surprised that Bai Can still remember these things, and a hint of panic flashed in her beautiful eyes.
For a moment, she couldn't think of any other reason.
"Tianjiao, what exactly happened?" Bai Can pressed.
Seeing Chu Tianjiao's pretty face change again, Bai Can felt that things were not so simple and he had to figure this out.
“I…” Chu Tianjiao stammered.
Seeing that Bai Can kept pressing her for answers, and knowing she couldn't avoid the question, she had no choice but to say, "Back then, on the fifteenth of August, Xiao Yu and I watched the moon together, and at that time... he kissed me and said my face was fair and beautiful..."
Chu Tianjiao stammered as he spoke, glancing at Bai Can's expression.
Bai Can's face visibly turned ugly.
Hearing your fiancée being kissed by another man would make anyone uncomfortable.
"It was just a light kiss... Xiao Yu is an idiot, he doesn't understand matters of the heart... At the time, he thought I was pretty, so he kissed me and I pushed him away."
Chu Tianjiao said guiltily, "Brother Can, you...you don't mind, do you?"
"Won't!"
Bai Can took a deep breath before speaking.
Then, as if comforting Chu Tianjiao, and also as if comforting himself, he said, "Xiao Yu is just a fool. I know you don't like him."
"I knew it, thank you, Chan-ge."
Chu Tianjiao breathed a sigh of relief.
But Bai Can continued, "Shen Youyu's virginity was taken by the person who wrote the poem, and Xiao Yu even took Shen Youyu back to the Xiao Royal Mansion. What good is his power if his wife has been slept with by someone else? Humph!"
The smile that had just appeared on Chu Tianjiao's face vanished instantly... It seems that Bai Can really cares about this kind of thing.
But we can't blame him.
Bai Can comes from a military family. When his family is looking for a wife, they naturally want her to be a girl of equal social standing and with a clean reputation. This is the most basic requirement.
"Tianjiao, what's wrong?"
Seeing Chu Tianjiao frozen there, Bai Can asked with concern.
"It's nothing... I was just thinking... that bastard Xiao Yu is actually a Grandmaster, and I feel really uncomfortable about it!" Chu Tianjiao quickly changed the subject.
"Grandmaster!"
Bai Can's attention was indeed diverted. He gritted his teeth and said, "Tianjiao, don't worry. From today onwards, I will work twice as hard in my martial arts training and break through as quickly as possible! I will definitely avenge today's humiliation tenfold or a hundredfold!"
...
On the other side.
Inside the Jade Pavilion.
The onlookers outside the private room dispersed.
Xiao Yu also left that private room and moved to a clean, empty one.
Then, he ordered several of the most famous dishes from the Jade Wine Pavilion and said, "And another pot of Daughter's Red wine."
"Alright, please wait a moment, sir..."
The shop assistant treated Xiao Yu with great respect, pouring him a pot of tea before going on to attend to other matters.
“Previously, the owner of this body, Xiao Shilang, also accompanied Chu Tianjiao here and ate several meals... But he had intellectual problems, and every time he ate, it was like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit; he couldn’t taste the difference between the dishes at all.”
"This world doesn't have MSG or chicken bouillon... If the dishes at Jade Liquid Pavilion are similar to those at Prince Xiao's Mansion, it means that ancient cuisine was very limited. As long as I invent MSG and chicken bouillon, I can make a fortune from them!"
Xiao Yu thought to himself.
In his previous life, he was an all-around military doctor who was not only proficient in medicine but also in many inventions.
A moment later.
One after another, the dishes that looked very appealing were placed on the table.
Xiao Yu picked up his chopsticks, looked at the dishes that looked quite appetizing, took a bite, and put it in his mouth...
