After He Yunxiao told the coachman, "Go back! Someone's trying to steal my wife!" the coachman was startled.
Coachman: "Young master! When did you get married? I've never heard of it before."
Hearing what the coachman said, He Yunxiao realized that this was not a modern place and some jokes were not appropriate.
He explained, "I've taken a liking to a girl, but I haven't married her yet. It's just a casual chat, nothing's really going to happen yet, so don't spread rumors."
The coachman asked in confusion, "Young master, I feel that you are different from usual today. You seem a little listless."
Upon hearing this, He Yunxiao immediately adopted the arrogant attitude of the original owner and slapped the coachman on the head.
"Stop talking nonsense! I'm telling you to get back to Chunfeng Tower right now!"
Upon hearing this, the coachman thought it made sense, so he chuckled and cracked his whip, propelling the carriage towards Chunfeng Tower as if it were flying.
He Yunxiao was also utterly helpless. Sometimes it wasn't that he wanted to act arrogantly; as a modern person, he had a pretty good temper. It was just that the original owner's impression was too deep; his amiable demeanor made people think he was harboring malicious intentions.
Upon arriving at the entrance of Chunfeng Tower, He Yunxiao couldn't wait for the carriage to come to a complete stop. He used his light-footed skill to jump down and land at the entrance of Chunfeng Tower.
This is the time between the end of the martial arts competition and the start of the flower-falling ceremony.
The moment He Yunxiao entered, the entire room erupted in uproar.
"He Yunxiao is here!"
"Holy crap, he actually dared to come!"
"Isn't he afraid of Young Master Li?"
Seeing this display of force, He Yunxiao narrowed his eyes.
The entire Chunfeng Tower hall was now laid out before him. Li Jin, the son of an official, sat next to Chu Fan, mingling with Shen Kuan, also a son of an official, and Yang Qi, a censor.
Yang Zhe, the commander of the Imperial Guards who had just arrived, had a table all to himself. Unlike the others, he didn't have a lot of food and wine on his table; instead, he only had a pot of tea.
While everyone stared at He Yunxiao in astonishment, only Yang Zhe remained unmoved, as if this farce had nothing to do with him. He didn't even glance at spoiled brats like Shen Kuan, Li Jin, and He Yunxiao, as if he didn't care about them at all.
Amidst the clamor of the world, he alone remained at ease and quiet, holding a cup of hot tea, gazing at the small door from which the courtesan would emerge.
What a show-off Yang Zhe is!
He Yunxiao thought to himself silently.
If Yang Zhe is both scholarly and martial, and his boasting is always sophisticated, then Li Jin is very down-to-earth.
When Li Jin saw that He Yunxiao dared to show up, he slammed his fist on the table and stood up!
After getting up, he first checked to see if Yang Zhe was paying attention to him. Finding no one, he then loudly berated He Yunxiao.
"He Yunxiao! You have no respect for the law!"
He Yunxiao glanced at Li Jin, who was yelling at him, and felt very puzzled.
Although I am not a good person, I have no grudge against this Li Jin. Today he came all the way to Chunfeng Tower to find me. Is this kid deliberately trying to cause trouble?
Given He Yunxiao's personality, this kind of deliberate provocation cannot be tolerated.
But when He Yunxiao saw Yang Zhe, a new idea came to mind.
Li Jin is a complete clown in the novel, always jumping to conclusions and utterly indecisive. He's insignificant. The real problem is Yang Zhe, who's after my wife; he's the one I need to keep a close eye on!
In contrast to Li Jin's loud and angry rebuke, He Yunxiao remained calm and composed.
He completely ignored Li Jin's angry curses, walked straight to Yang Zhe's vicinity, and greeted the patrons at a table near Yang Zhe with a warm smile, saying politely, "Gentlemen, I have taken a liking to your seats. I wonder if you would be willing to part with them?"
The two diners looked at He Yunxiao with horror.
They simply couldn't believe that such a friendly smile could come from He Yunxiao, who had committed countless evil deeds.
Absolutely impossible!
There's definitely a trap!
Run!
Without even answering, the two of them ran out of Chunfeng Tower in a panic.
He Yunxiao remained calm and composed, sitting at the table, and said, "The two of us had something come up and didn't have time to settle the bill. It's not gentlemanly to charge on credit, so it will be on my tab. Shopkeeper, please clear away all the food and drinks. Just bring me a pot of good tea."
After all this commotion, even Yang Zhe, who didn't usually pay attention to playboys, turned to look at He Yunxiao.
In his memory, He Yunxiao was even worse than Li Jin; not only was he physically weak, but he also caused trouble everywhere.
However, Yang Zhe only glanced at it and that was it.
In Yang Zhe's eyes, He Yunxiao's father, He Yuanhao, was a true hero worthy of respect. As for He Yunxiao, he wasn't even worthy of being called a son of a tiger father; he was just a piece of dog shit.
On the other side, Li Jin, who was initially aggressive, was also taken aback by He Yunxiao's actions.
Why are you, a good-for-nothing playboy, starting to imitate Yang Zhe's ways?
Li Jin glanced at Yang Zhe and made up his mind: I must show Yang Zhe what I'm capable of! Today, I'm determined to uphold justice!
He got up and challenged He Yunxiao to a "close-quarters fight." Yang Qi, who was sitting to the side, saw that things were not going well and quickly instructed Li Jin: "Brother Li! I don't know what He Yunxiao is up to. When you argue with him later, you must stick to your point of view: 'It is against etiquette and undignified for you to massage the shoulders of the female performer.' Don't let He Yunxiao lead you astray."
Li Jin patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"
Li Jin has gone there.
Yang Qi, who was originally full of confidence, lost hope in Li Jin after seeing He Yunxiao's nonchalant attitude.
I thought He Yunxiao would be furious and argue with Li Jin, but to my surprise, He Yunxiao wasn't angry at all. This was quite different from the rumors of his "arrogance" and "conceit".
