Chapter 1008 -56: The Wang Family’s “Bad Practices” Sweep Through Shangjing_4

As for bullying the young by virtue of one’s age, such occurrences are rare in Shangjing City. After all, if young people of the same age engage in fisticuffs, that’s considered roughhousing. Even if you lose, it’s simply a matter of being outskilled, with no complaints to be made.

But if someone were to bully those who are younger… Doesn’t every family have elders? If things truly escalate, the spectacle can become quite grand.

Initially, Wang Annan was quite reluctant to play with the little brats, particularly with Wang Anye. He felt that the boy, while not old in years, certainly didn’t lack in hauteur.

However, within half a day, Annan found it rather delightful.

Because he discovered that Wang Anye had two not-so-great but favorable habits.

First, he liked buying things in bulk, with a share for everyone present.

Second, Wang Anye had the bad habit of tipping haphazardly. He’d tip after buying an article of clothing, give alms to a beggar spotted on the street, and even tip for a few kind words said to him.

Wang Annan, waiting on Young Master Anye hand and foot, naturally received generous tips as well. The more he was tipped, the more diligently he served; the more diligently he served, the more he was tipped.

Wang Annan joyfully realized he had entered into a virtuous cycle. And so he became all the more willing to run errands for Anye.

“Little Seventh, you must be hungry by now. Big brother will take you to the best restaurant in Shangjing City—the Wan Yao Tower. This meal is on your big brother Annan,” boasted Wang Annan, with a chest-thumping, brotherly swagger, his wallet growing increasingly plump and with it, his confidence.

“Thank you, Brother Annan,” Wang Anye said, inclining slightly in gratitude.

That’s just how he was, naturally grateful. He’d return the kindness shown to him a hundredfold.

“Nephew Annan, that doesn’t seem right,” interjected Wang Ying Xuan, skeptical, “I’ve heard that the hottest restaurant in Shangjing City nowadays is the White Cloud Tower.”

Mentioning the White Cloud Tower caused Wang Annan’s face to turn as black as ink.

In that very restaurant, he had experienced not one, but two massive social deaths in an extremely short span of time, memories too embarrassing to relive.

That place had become the nightmare of his lifetime.

“The White Cloud Tower? That’s just hype, using fame to jack up prices. It’s utterly heartless,” Wang Annan stated with conviction, “We locals in Shangjing City all know, it’s a restaurant that fleeces people. The blade of the Heng Commandery Prince is way too sharp.”

“Then forget it,” Wang Anye frowned, “Let’s just go to Wan Yao Tower and give it a try.” fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Though he wasn’t short of money, he didn’t enjoy being treated like a cash cow to be slaughtered.

“Got it~ Little Seventh, Aunt Yuxuan, Grand Aunt Liling, follow me.” Wang Annan let out a relieved breath, glad to have dodged that bullet.

However, before he could fully relax,

Suddenly,

A clear and pleasant-sounding female voice came from nearby: “Wang Annan, I’ll be sure to repeat your words exactly to the Heng Commandery Prince and see how he deals with you.”

Hearing this, Wang Annan turned pale and took in a sharp breath as he looked at the speaker: “You! Wu Xue Ning!”

“It’s Princess Xue Ning to you,” the voice corrected, dissatisfied.

Wang Ying Xuan, Wang Lilong, and Wang Anye followed Wang Annan’s gaze and saw an elegant and noble-looking young girl.

She appeared only a few years older than Wang Anye and Wang Ying Xuan. Dressed in exquisitely lavish clothing, her every move exuded a natural aristocratic air, yet her exceptionally vivid eyes made her seem approachable rather than haughty, infusing her with a mischievous charm.

The girl was none other than Wu Xue Ning, one of the “Top Ten Exceptional Youths” of Shangjing City, ranked second.

She had grown noticeably taller compared to two years prior, with all the curves in the right places, blossoming into a true beauty.

A young man, holding a sword and with a steady and contained aura, followed not far behind her.

He wore a green shirt and carried an impressive bearing, his overall presence seeming to be surrounded by a gentle breeze, every bit the picture of elegance as if he were the embodiment of the refreshing wind under the bright moon.

This young man was, unsurprisingly, Wu Zhixing, who had once again been dragged out by Wu Xue Ning.

At that moment, Wu Zhixing seemed somewhat bitter.

Being taken out shopping by the formidable Princess Xue Ning was already a tiresome task, and now she was looking to stir up trouble…

Wang Annan was merely boasting, so why bother with him?

All I want is to quietly engage in Cultivation, why must it be so difficult? Zhixing thought.

“Hey, you kids—uh, and that… dragon…!” Wu Xue Ning spoke, “Don’t you fall for Wang Annan’s trick. The dishes at Wan Yao Tower are much worse compared to White Cloud Tower.”

“Little Seventh, she and the owner of White Cloud Tower are from the Imperial Household, naturally they’re biased. Her words have no credibility, let’s still go to the Wan Yao Tower,” Wang Annan said, ignoring Wu Xue Ning and pulling Wang Anye away.

“Wait a minute! Wang Annan, weren’t you the one who suffered social death twice at White Cloud Tower? If you must blame someone, blame Wang Liyao for not giving you face. Why resent the restaurant?” Wu Xue Ning retorted discontentedly, “I don’t care where you eat, but you can’t slander White Cloud Tower in public.”

“It has nothing to do with my Aunt Liyao,” a sullen Wang Annan retorted, “I genuinely think the food at White Cloud Tower is unappetizing. What, the Imperial Household is so powerful now that no one can criticize a restaurant you open?”

For over three thousand years, the Da Qian Wang family had been given the short end of the stick. To say there was no resentment towards the Imperial Household would be impossible. In the past, the Old Ancestor of the Wang family had been the right-hand man of the Great Emperor Ziwei Xuandu, conquering the realm together.

“Hmph~ Fine, now that you have Wang Liyao’s support, you’ve grown bolder. Once I’ve made progress in my cultivation, I will challenge Wang Liyao again at White Cloud Tower,” Wu Xue Ning spoke, her face colored with dissatisfaction as she crossed her arms and scoffed, “Then, I’ll invite you to taste the dishes from Bai Yu Lou, and you’ll surely retract today’s statements then.”

But no sooner had her words fallen,

than Wang Ying Xuan, who had been silent up until now, couldn’t hold back any longer, jumping in with hands on hips to taunt, “Hey, hey~ who do you think you are, chopping leeks? A silly little girl spouting big talk, not afraid of spraining her tongue.”

“While my Aunt Liyao’s prowess is so-so, she’s not someone a clueless girl like you can trample over as you please!”
