<h4>Chapter 13 – Bored? Let’s Go Make Some Trouble!</h4>
The reason why Ye Xiao tried to earn some money quickly was so that he could buy some treasures at the auction to feed the spiritual space. He had sessfully obtained the money, but now the auction was dyed....
Ten days was not a very long time, but the problem was that, Ye Xiao couldn’t wait any longer. Not even one more day!
“By the way, how is the robbery case... you know, of your house?” Ye Xiao was feeling depressed so he changed the topic to ask about what he was interested in most at the moment.
Zuo Wu-Ji’s grandfather Mr Zuo, the father of the minister, had searched in every nook and cranny of the capital, Chen-Xing City, several times. Now the whole city had a dense mist of nervousness hanging over it and now, even the most insignificant of sounds could instill the greatest of fears in the hearts of the residents. The public security had even be unprecedentedly tight – thanks to Zuo Wu-Ji’s grandfather.
“Skip it!” Zuo Wu-Ji looked pale, “That night I was nearly killed. My grandfather came back home and found that most of his collection had been stolen which had made him furious! These days there is no one in the house that dares to speak out loud...”
Ye Xiao said modestly, “It seems that your grandfather must have lost something extremely valuable in that robbery...”
“Apparently so...” Zuo Wu-Ji sighed, “I haven’t seen my grandpa this angry since I was a baby... Now the whole city has been thrown upside down because of my family and yet my grandpa still isn’t willing to let it go...”
Ye Xiao replied with an ‘oh’ before asking thoughtfully, “Well then, did your grandpa specify which was the most valuable piece amongst the stolen treasures?”
“Who would dare to ask him in his current condition?” Zuo Wu-Ji shouted, feeling wronged, “At the time I had only said one word, but I got immediately beaten several times...”
Lan Lang-Lang showed deep interests, “What exactly did you say?”
“Nothing special... I just said ‘be off with the old and move on with the new. Don’t worry grandpa’ ...” Zuo Wu-Ji felt like weeping but wascking tears, “Then he had suddenly entered a frenzy and shouted, ‘You damn ck sheep! It is this damn attitude of yours with which you steal every valuable thing in this house and exchange them for prostitutes and alcohol’ ... then he gave me a beating!”
Zuo Wu-Ji spoke sadly, “Tell me, what have I done wrong? I said those words only tofort him, and yet I got mercilessly beaten. Did I really doom myself to a thrashing?”
“Eh-hem, hemm...” Ye Xiao started to cough loudly in an attempt to conceal theughter that was boiling up inside of him.
“Arhahahahah..whooppahaha...” Lan Lang-Lang didn’t even try to cover up hisughter; instead heughed gloatingly.
Lan Lang-Lang and Zuo Wu-Ji had be extremely bored due to the auction being dyed, so they hade over to see Ye Xiao. Zuo Wu-Ji had always been hostile towards Ye Xiao – they disliked each other. However, this had all changed after the ‘great favor’ from Ye Xiao. He had even started to consider Ye Xiao to be a true friend, and so, he hade over to Ye Xiao with Lan Lang-Lang toin about the auction and their boredom and perhaps to score a free meal from Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao smiled and looked through the window at the dark night sky as he lightly said, “The robbery... maybe it wasn’t such a bad thing for your n... There is an old saying which says that luck and misfortunee in turns... Maybe, for the loss you have suffered today it will be repaid a thousand times in the future...”
Ye Xiao spoke very slowly. It seemed like what he was saying had some obscure meanings.
Zuo Wu-Ji sighed. He didn’t know what Ye Xiao had really meant. He didn’t understand that it was actually a precious promise. He could only feel bad about his own misery at the moment, “s, don’t talk about making it up...Right now I be scared enough to piss every time I see my grandpa ... I’d better fix my own issues first. The bloody auction, how could they fxxking dy it? The bloody moron with his supreme dan beads. If I get a chance to meet him... I promise, I will tear him into a million shreds...”
He let out another sigh which was filled with endless sadness.
“Oh I see why you two havee here. The auction is dyed and you guys are slowly dying due to boredom, right? So you are here to seek some amusement from me, right?” Ye Xiao looked at them with amusement.
The dy of the auction had been troubling him as well, even more so, after finding out that he had be the reason for this dy.
Besides... Lan Lang-Lang and Zuo Wu-Ji couldin about it out loud while he couldn’t say a word about it!
And they were even calling him a moron right to his face. He really felt like giving these two in front of him an asswhooping. Though he found it extremely painful to tolerate their trash talking, he still had to!
“Heh heh heh... Oh right, I know of a freakish urrence which might interest you, brother Ye. Do you remember the Shan-Hua House?” Zuo Wu-Ji asked.
“Hmm?” Ye Xiao’s eyes turned cold with chilliness emanating from them.
How could he forget the ce where he – or should we say the departed Ye Xiao – got poisoned: the brothel Shan-Hua House.
“Ny-eight people in Shan-Hua House were all killed. Everyone in that house is dead, no survivors.” Zuo Wu-Ji sighed regretfully, “I was going to have some fun there during this rough time, you know, with those pretty chicks. When I got there, all I saw were rotting corpses. That was really disappointing... It is a pity about those pretty gals...”
“What? All dead?” Ye Xiao frowned tightly.
“All dead.” Zuo Wu-Ji nodded, “And... ording to the signs on their bodies, they must have died several days ago. The government are terribly distracted because of the robbery, to even miss so many dead bodies.”
“Oh.” Ye Xiao felt relieved and thought, “They’ve been dead for several days, so the murder has nothing to do with the robbery. It seems that... right after I was poisoned when I was struggling to survive, these people in Shan-Hua House had already been killed. Everyone in that brothel had been taken care of, eliminating any possible clue!”
The man who nned this murder is truly wicked and merciless!
“Zuo Wu-Ji, do you know the identity of Shan-Hua House’s owner?” Ye Xiao probed, “The whole house was wiped out and still the owner had not yet shown up?”
Zuo Wu-Ji scratched his head and said, “Well this is a tough question for me. I am not so sure to be honest... However, it is said that the house is rted to Wan Xiao-nian, but... there is no basis for these ims.”
“Wang Xiao-Nian?” Ye Xiao said with half-closed eyes, “That’s... The son of Wang Da-Nian, the personal guard of the crown prince, the leader of the guards in the Crown Prince’s Pce, right?”
“Yes, that’s him.” Zuo Wu-Ji smiled, “This bastard Wang Xiao-Nian was boasting a few days ago that his father had received a hundreds-years old top-quality blood ginseng, which was to be used to improve his strength. It is said that that ginseng can make a man reach the upper-level cultivation and be an expert cultivator in just one night... Fxxk that! The bastard is really boasting. I hate every bit of him! Well, at the end of the day, the murders at the brothel have nothing to do with us. We just lost a nice ce to enjoy ourselves...”
“Enjoy? Is your disease cured?” He looked at Zuo Wu-Ji sportively. The ‘hundreds-years old quality blood ginseng’ had lit up Ye Xiao’s eyes.
Zuo Wu-Ji turned red-faced and shouted, “Ye Xiao! Don’t force me to fight against you!” He had forgotten what he had said about the blood ginseng instantly.
Lan Lang-Lang almost split his sides due toughing vigorously and caused his hat to nearly fall off his favus infested head . He grinned, “Oh can’t we say the truth about you any more? You went to the brothel time to time and how many times did you fxxk a girl? Is there any time you are not the one being fxxked? hahahaha.... There are six prostitutes sworn brother and sister with you, and I heard that you are the youngest? Lord Zuo, you are actually very well-known as the famous Gal No.7...”
“Fxxking bastard!” Hearing the word ‘Gal No.7’, Zuo Wu-Ji turned into a raging beast. He rushed forward to hold Lan Lang-Lang and gave him punches and kicks, while Lan Lang-Lang wasughing and got into a clinch with him.
As a matter of fact, though Zuo Wu-Ji had a foppish personality, he had an inborn disease, which was unspeakable. Eh-hem. Well... he couldn’t do that thing – you know. Normally it was something a man would never tell, but the foppish and prodigal lord Zuo was liberal to face such defect. It was really something strange...
After the horsey, Zuo Wu-Ji felt sad and sighed, “The auction is dyed, but I heard that these supreme dan beads are something better than the best, with quality higher than the highest... If only I could get my hand on one of them during the auction...:”
Lan Lang-Lang showed disdain, “Come on, dear lord Zuo. Forget about that, will you? With our wealth, we can just afford one for sure, but... the question is there is no way we have the chance to win the bid. Those noble-blooded guys will fight until bleeding their fists.”
Zuo Wu-Ji nodded and sighed.
The three of them were called ‘the three lords in town’ like they had a splendid title, however,pared with thoseds truly born with noble blood, they couldn’t even be mentioned in the same sentence.
The noble ns were able to function alongside each other peacefully, because they made sure not to touch each other’s businesses.
But they disliked each other for sure.
Among the three ns, the n of Zuo was somehow stronger than the other two – the n of Lan and the n of Ye. Zuo Wu-Ji had elder brothers and he was substantially given up by the n because of his disease. Ye Xiao was the only son of the Ye n, while Lan Lang-Lang was also the only son of the Lan n...
“The real noble ns...” Lan Lang-Lang sighed.
“While the royal court has existed for a hundred years, the ns have existed for thousands upon thousands of years...” Zuo Wu-Ji smiled, “Our ns are far from those noble ns. To be able topare ourselves with the true noble ns, we will need to prosper for at least another century...” He shook his head helplessly.
“What noble n has a foppish ck sheep like you?” Lan Lang-Lang disdainfully said.
“Oh, so you think you are better than me?” Zuo Wu-Ji red at him.
It looked like the very next moment would be the start of a fight.
Ye Xiao felt an agitation, he had never felt before, awaken deep down within his bones.
“Stop! Shut up both of you. This is my house ok? Get somewhere else to fight... Hmm, well if you are really that bored, why don’t we go make some trouble for Wang Xiao-Nian?” Ye Xiao smiled and thought, “The blood ginseng shouldn’t be wasted in some mortal’s hand right? I wouldn’t think anything of it if I don’t know about it, but I do know now. So I shall not let such thing escape my hands...”
Wang Xiao-Nian was somehow rted to the poison after all...
“Sure!” Zuo Wu-Ji and Lan Lang-Lang were both meddlers. They both raised their hands and got excited when hearing the suggestion.
