Chapter 101: Pretty Boy?
Wang Zijia only discovered this awhile back, that the reputation of his ’genius’ son-in-law was in fact not that of a conventional genius. It was essentially: Beneath the shell of a genius lay a pretty boy.
All because he had deceived Xiang Feifei into his grasp, the Xiang family had to maintain their reputation and hence they did everything to hype up his title as a genius.
The intersection of truth and falsehood allowed Wang Zijia to fully understand the true nature of the Xiang family.
They were simply a bunch of old foxes. No wonder they hadn’t produced any sacrificial wine for so many years, and also why they hadn’t fully declined despite missing the sacrificial wine for so many years.
"How annoying, all these silly ideas from Sixth Great Uncle, saying that you’re too talented and might draw others’ envy," Xiang Feifei’s face instantly turned red as she stomped her feet, saying shyly:
"And seeing how you would grow more handsome as time passed, it’d be better to be upfront instead of hiding, hence they did all this."

While they were deliberating, after finishing their meal, Wang Zijia did not directly head to the basement. Instead, he brought Bai Qian to the cultivation room first.
During these past few days, Bai Qian had formally started his miscellaneous duties as a disciple and had received his welfare. What he received was the central foundational spell from the Nine Techniques of water method alchemy: Medicine Extraction.
However, on Wang Zijia’s orders, Bai Qian merely learned the spell but didn’t attempt alchemy, he instead put more effort into practicing Tai Chi.
Name: Bai Qian
