C56 Scrawny Monkey!
"Hey, everyone, have you heard? A big shot has come to our capital! "
As soon as Ye Wuchen walked into the tavern, he heard a group of young men gathered together to drink on the first floor. They were discussing something and it attracted Ye Wuchen's attention.
"This young master, is he staying in a inn?" When the boss saw Ye Wuchen walk in, he looked around and took the initiative to ask with a smile on his face.
Ye Wuchen nodded. He took out a gold ingot from his space ring and handed it to the owner. He said, "Boss, we need to stay here for a few days to arrange a good room with a quiet environment."
"Sure, young master. Please go upstairs!" The boss was a fat middle-aged man, but he had a smile on his face that gave off a sense of intimacy. His clumsy body took a step forward and carried Ye Wuchen upstairs.
The first floor was a restaurant, while the second and third floors were all guest rooms.
"What kind of big shot has come to the capital?" How come we didn't know? " The crowd on the first floor was still talking, so Ye Wuchen could hear them clearly.
"Humph, your information is so obscure. Let me tell you, not even three hours ago, a guy named Ye Wuchen consecutively defeated Prince Qin Wuhao and the Ninth Prince of our empire, Qin Liuyang!" The one with the most passionate expression was this skinny and monkey-like youth. His speech was full of expressions and voices. It could be seen that he had already formed a unique style by spreading many rumours.
And these people also chose to believe scrawny monkey's news. It could be seen that the latter's news was very accurate and wasn't the type of person who only spread rumors.
"Ninth Prince Qin Liuyang, wasn't he ranked fifth in the competition yesterday? How could someone defeat Prince Qin Liuyang? Are you joking with me? " Many people did not believe that scrawny monkey was joking.
Heh, this temper of mine, let me tell you this, the location is the The Library, believe it or not, I have already said it! scrawny monkey sat down on the chair with a displeased expression and started to drink his wine, ignoring the discussions of the crowd.
Ye Wuchen retracted his gaze and did not continue watching. He was most likely the person they were discussing about, but who was the one who spread the word about the Celestial Token?
"Young master, that scrawny monkey is the most well-informed person in the imperial city, and everything he said is true. I think that the big figure in his mouth is most likely a young master from some underworld clan, and someone who can defeat the ninth prince, Qin Liuyang, is not a simple person!" The fat boss couldn't help but say when he saw Ye Wuchen's interest in the previous topic.
Ye Wuchen laughed secretly in his heart. He had thought that scrawny monkey was the only one who liked to spread the news, but he didn't expect that this boss would also be so gossipy.
"Boss, explain in detail when you enter the room later. The fight that scrawny monkey mentioned just now!" Ye Wuchen smiled and followed the fat boss to a corner room on the second floor.
The shop owner took out his key and opened the door. A simple and unadorned room with a delicate fragrance came into his sight. The room was not that big, about a hundred square meters, and was divided into two rooms: one inside and the other outside.
"Master, this is the quietest room on the second floor. Your gold ingot is not for nothing. From now on, there will be servants from the restaurant who will bring the food and wine here. You don't need to come down. If you have any business, you can tell me. I'll do it immediately!"
Of course, it was also because of Ye Wuchen's gold. After all, anyone who could take out gold so casually was definitely not an ordinary person. Since the fat boss was doing business in the imperial city, he knew who could and should not be offended.
"Ok, boss, wait a moment. Tell me about the martial arts competition!" Ye Wuchen called out to the fat boss when he saw he was about to leave.
The fat shop owner shook his head with a bitter smile, "Young master, it's not that I don't want to talk to you, but the shop is too busy and I need to go downstairs to receive the guests. If you want to hear it, why don't you go to scrawny monkey on the first floor? He's a very good person! " As the fat boss said this, he bowed and left. Of course, he left the key with Ye Wuchen.
Ye Wuchen shook his head and looked around the room. Then, he walked out the door and went downstairs to the table where scrawny monkey was sitting.
"scrawny monkey, we won't listen to your nonsense. We're leaving!"
At this moment, many of the young men who were drinking at the same table as scrawny monkey left one after another, leaving only scrawny monkey who was drinking alone. Ye Wuchen curled his lips and smiled.
Sitting beside scrawny monkey silently and pouring a glass of wine, Ye Wuchen smiled and said, "Brother, you said that the big shot's name is Ye Wuchen, right?"
"Ah!" "Tsk tsk, my darling, you're really a sensible person!"
As soon as Ye Wuchen finished speaking, scrawny monkey's gloomy expression was swept away. Holding the wine cup tightly, scrawny monkey's face lit up as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He raised his head and looked at Ye Wuchen with excitement and then quickly nodded: "Of course, that big shot is Ye Wuchen. Do you know who he is?"
"Who is it?" Ye Wuchen couldn't help but laugh inside, but he still endured listening to scrawny monkey's words.
"Hey, I just said you're sensible. Look, aren't you confused again? Let me tell you, I, Ye Wuchen, am a prospective student of the Imperial College! "
"Do you know what is called Celestial Token Academy?" scrawny monkey had one leg on the table. He had a leisurely, roguish expression on his face. However, it greatly improved Ye Wuchen's impression of him.
"I don't know!" Ye Wuchen still smiled and shook his head, waiting for scrawny monkey's words.
scrawny monkey was already accustomed to Ye Wuchen's questioning, and continued to ask: "Celestial Token, that is something only the most noble heaven's pride level experts in the entire Imperial College can have, your strength must be strong to the very end!"
"In this year's Martial Competition, the top five will all have this kind of medallion: the Ninth Prince Qin Liuyang. Of course, he was already defeated by Ye Wuchen within seconds, hehe!" scrawny monkey said with a face full of playfulness and excitement, as if he was the one who beat Qin Liuyang instead of Ye Wuchen.
Instant defeat? Ye Wuchen couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this. If he had the power to defeat Qin Liuyang in a second, he would have already left the Liu Steel Empire. Although he defeated Qin Liuyang, only he knew how much power he used.
"Hey, brother, do you know that Ye Wuchen was once the number one genius of our empire? It's just that I don't know why he disappeared in these ten years!"
"But it doesn't matter. The current Ye Wuchen has already come to the capital. Hehe, I, scrawny monkey, will meet him sooner or later!" scrawny monkey seemed to be talking to himself, yet at the same time, he was happily narrating.
Ye Wuchen also laughed involuntarily. This scrawny monkey did not know that he was Ye Wuchen, otherwise, he would not know what kind of expression he had.
"Who ranked in the top five in the competition?" Ye Wuchen continued to ask with a hint of expectation on his face. This was the information he wanted to know.
scrawny monkey recovered from his excitement just now. Seeing Ye Wuchen ask this, he grinned and continued, "The martial competition has just ended, the top five selected are the Ninth Prince Qin Liuyang, the Fifth Prince Qin Liuchen, and the Fourth Prince Qin Liusu. This is the fifth to the third place, they are all Empire's princes."
"The second person is the capital's Qin Yantian. He is the foster grandson of one of the empire's ancestors, Old Ancestor Qin Ming!"
"The first place winner is Baili Chi of the royal family. He's amazing! He's the future man of the empire's Grand Princess!"
"Of course, these five people are the top five of yesterday's Martial Arts Competition. Hehe. However, Ye Wuchen defeated Qin Liuyang in a second. The fifth should be Ye Wuchen!" scrawny monkey said, his face filled with excitement as he let out another strange duck-like laugh.
Ye Wuchen didn't understand why this scrawny monkey had such a soft spot for him, as if he was very happy to see him win.
Bang!
Just as the two of them were discussing happily, the restaurant's door was suddenly kicked open by someone from outside. The deafening sound startled everyone and they saw dozens of imperial guards barge in, scaring the boss so much that he didn't even dare to make a sound.
The people drinking on the first floor didn't dare to make a sound, but they didn't dare to leave right away because the doors were already sealed shut by the guards.
"Men, this scrawny monkey has slandered the royal prince, seize him!" The leader of the guards shouted in anger. He waved his hand and more than ten guards rushed forward at the same time, ready to catch scrawny monkey.
scrawny monkey was so scared that his face turned pale and his body started to tremble. He didn't know what on earth he had done to make these guards want to capture him.
Ye Wuchen frowned. No matter what the reason was, just like that, he broke into another restaurant to capture them. This empire's royal family was truly tyrannical.
"Officer, I, scrawny monkey, did not do anything!" scrawny monkey's face was a bit pale, but he was unwilling to be taken away to eat prison food.
The leader of the guards had a gloomy and cold expression on his face, and then he gave a strange smile: "In front of so many people, shouldn't you spread rumors, bewitch the people, and insult the Ninth Prince?"
"Insult? "How could it be an insult? It is clearly the truth. The ninth prince was already defeated by Ye Wuchen, I …" When scrawny monkey saw that the guard had emphasized that this matter was a rumor, he immediately became somewhat unhappy and argued with reason.
But before he could finish his words, he was kicked away by the leading guard.
With a bang, the table was smashed into pieces. scrawny monkey's face was as white as paper as he fell on the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"It's here, seize it!" The leader of the guards smiled sinisterly. With a wave of his hand, he ordered his men to take down scrawny monkey.
Ye Wuchen frowned. If he could have not interfered before, but scrawny monkey was protecting his reputation and the authenticity of the matter, this time, he would not have ignored it.
"Enough! If the royal guards were to spread the news that they are publicly bullying ordinary people, wouldn't it be a joke? It would be best for all of you to withdraw! " Ye Wuchen's entire body was emitting a golden aura, which made all the guards unable to advance even a little bit. Seeing this scene, the guards' faces immediately changed.
The leader of the guards instead frowned as he shouted in a ghastly rage, "Kid, don't be f * cking nosy or you'll be arrested as well!"
"Go, catch scrawny monkey!" The lead guard waved his hand again and gave the order, ignoring Ye Wuchen's words.
At this moment, a hint of coldness flashed across Ye Wuchen's eyes. In a trance, all the guards only felt a shadow flash past their eyes, but they couldn't see it clearly.
But at this moment, Ye Wuchen appeared like a ghost in front of the leader of the guards. He simply kicked the guard leader out of the restaurant and landed on the street outside.
With a bang, the sound was deafening, but it made everyone dumbfounded.
Immediately, silence filled the air!
"I said, get out of here!" Ye Wuchen's cold eyes stared at all of the imperial guards. His entire body was emitting an aura comparable to the might of a dragon. He scared all of the guards so much that their legs went limp. They couldn't hold on any longer and all of them ran away from the restaurant with pale faces.
Suddenly, the restaurant quieted down. Ye Wuchen turned around and continued to sit on the chair. He poured himself a cup of wine and drank it all by himself.
At this moment, an angry and unwilling voice could be heard from the street, "Young master, do you dare to leave your name behind?"
"Ye Wuchen!"
