Chapter 144 - 14 Top-grade Prodigals
"The troublemaker was a young man of about sixteen or seventeen. He was handsome and upright, dressed meticulously.
This person was none other than Yu Zhao, the eldest son of the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Several young martial artists followed him, all sons and daughters of third and fourth-grade officials in the court.
Most of these people were intermediate martial students, as Feng Xue had mentioned earlier, with cultivation levels ranging from Postnatal Small Success to Postnatal Great Success amongst them, with Yu Zhao having the highest cultivation.
Taking advantage of his father’s position as Minister of Rites, who managed the transfers and promotions of officials below third-grade, Yu Zhao has always been arrogant in Hongwu Hall.
He was the type who bullied the weak and feared the strong. He had previously made some lewd comments upon seeing Feng Xue’s beauty.
But just happened to run into Liu Cheng, who had grown up with Feng Xue since childhood. Liu Cheng, not much of a martial artist, had a sharp tongue and humiliated Yu Zhao with a barrage of classical allusions, earning his enmity.
After arriving in Hongwu Hall, Yu Zhao would pick on Liu Cheng every few days, but Feng Xue had intercepted him every time previously.
Today, upon arriving, he saw Liu Cheng surrounded by Feng Xue and another unfamiliar-looking young woman. Both women were attractive and graceful, igniting Yu Zhao’s jealousy.
Why should a nobody like Liu Cheng, who wasn’t Postnatal, be favored by women?
’Feng Xue, you and the new girl had better mind your own business. I’ve lost my purse, and Liu Cheng has been acting suspiciously, following me around since I entered. I suspect he stole it. Everyone knows the Taishi Family is very poor,’ Yu Zhao’s eyes emitted a cold sharpness as he glared at Liu Cheng.
