Chapter 36_Rebirth: Degenerate Slave Abuses Tyrant

The master of the current generation at Qi Lin Vi was named Luo Ting Chao. He had a bevy of wives and concubines, and has produced five sons.

 In the early morning, as Luo Ting Chao exited one of his beautiful concubines'' bedrooms, he had an indescribable feeling of happiness. It wasn''t because of the pleasures from the night before, but he felt as if something good was going to happen today.

 Misty and overcast, a light rain drizzled from the sky. Luo Ting Chao has always hated the rain, but even he had to admit that there was a special kind of enjoyment in the sight of the vi''s trees and flowers on a day like this.

 "Master," The steward of the vi hurried towards him, holding a wooden box in his hand.

 "What is it?" Luo Ting Chao asked.

 "A young man has arrived at the vi. He said that he wanted to see the master," The steward reported.

 Luo Ting Chao''s expression changed as he looked into the wooden box, his eyes falling on theughing Buddha sculpture nestled inside, "Where is he right now?"

 "Outside the vi."

 Luo Ting Chao immediately headed for the main gates, ordering his steward as he walked, "Quick, go open up the gates."

 He made use of his qing gong(1) the entire way to the gates. From afar, he could see seven people standing at the main entrance. One of them was a small youth in blue robes, currently appreciating the begonias near the gates.

 "Young master," Qi Zi alerted Luo Wei as he saw someoneing out of the vi.

 Luo Wei turned to see who it was.

 Inside, Luo Ting Chao sighed in admiration as he saw Luo Wei. This youth was not yet fully grown but he was already more beautiful than the flowers blooming beside him. Luo Ting Chao had no qualms in bedding women or men, his blood ran hot at the sheer thought of Luo Wei''s beauty, but he quickly reminded himself that he couldn''t mess around with this one and gathered his thoughts.

 "Master Luo?" Luo Wei waited until the man was in front of him before he opened with the question.

 "Luo Ting Chao, at your service," He bowed towards Luo Wei.

 Luo Wei returned the gesture, "Luo Wei, pleased to meet you."

 Years ago, Luo Ting Chao had the intention of getting on Luo Zhi Qiu''s good side, so he gathered a considerable amount of information about the Luo estate. He knew immediately as he heard the youth''s name that this was the third son of the Senior Chancellor. However, Luo Ting Chao had always heard that the third young master of the Luo family was on the heavy side, and that his appearance was very average. Luo Ting Chao didn''t expect to see that Luo Wei was a person of unparalleled beauty in the flesh. In recent days, he''d also heard news from the capital that Luo Wei had be the disciple of the emperor himself, and was especially favored. As someone who was such a favorite of the emperor, and a son of the Senior Chancellor, there was no way that Luo Ting Chao would dare treat Luo Wei as a child.

 Luo Wei saw that the servants of the vi were about to open the main gates and waved his hand, "Master Luo, I don''t want too many people to know that I''ve been here, so let''s keep the formalities at a minimum."

 "Of course, please, this way," Luo Ting Chao quickly waved them off, leading Luo Wei''s group into Qi Lin Vi himself.

 Situated in the Yun Cui valley, Qi Lin Mountain Vi held an air of grandiosity, all of the buildings were magnificent in their construction. Ancient trees formed forests nearby with plenty of rare and unique flora nted within sight. Somehow, though, even under all this majesty, this ce lurked a certain sense of gloom.

 "Master Luo, this ce is a paradise," Luo Weiplimented Luo Ting Chao, hiding his unease.

 Luo Ting Chao replied with some modestments.

 Luo Wei looked around the hall, it was made to view the flowers blooming in the gardens, "Is it convenient to talk here?" He asked Luo Ting Chao.

 Luo Ting Chao responded, "The young master can rest easy, whatever passes here will only be heard by the two of us."

 Luo Wei said nothing and only smiled.

 Luo Ting Chao quickly added, "If the young master is worried about my Shadow Guards, they''ve been told to stay away."

 Ten, one of the Secret Guard, arrived at this moment and addressed Luo Wei, "Young master, this ce is secure."

 "Good," Luo Wei said.

 Ten excused himself.

 Earlier, Luo Ting Chao saw the six people in Luo Wei''s retinue. Other than that little attendant, the other five were all highly skilled in martial arts. And now as he watched Ten walking away, he could tell that this person''s qing gong was unrivaled in its technique.

 Luo Wei exined, "The five of them are the Dragon''s Secret Guard, sworn to serve the emperor."

 Luo Ting Chao''s view of Luo Wei shifted even higher. To receive such protection from the Dragon''s Secret Guard meant that he was someone highly favored by the emperor. Luo Ting Chao was sure that Luo Wei made hisstment just to stress this point.
