Chapter 473: Chapter 7 Two beauties! Gradually Rising _1

…

“By the way, do you know Master Danding, master?” Wang Shouzhe diverted the conversation.

“Yes, but we don’t really get along.” Master Changchun said, “Because Master Danding comes from Independent Cultivator background, it is said that he was once rejected by the Academic Palace in his youth, hence, he used to disrespect them. I had verbal clashes with him a couple of times.”

“Uh….” Wang Shouzhe looked helplessly at Master Changchun, thinking that since they are both ‘masters’, there should be some networking. Now it seems like it is negative networking.

The Academic Palace does have a system for learning alchemy, but as Wang Shouye is currently being nurtured as an alchemist for their family, it is inappropriate to take the path of the Academic Palace.

“I’ve heard that the old bloke can’t wait anymore and is preparing to take in disciples?” Master Changchun said with a grin, “Shouzhe, do you want someone from your clan to become his disciple? Apart from anything else, the alchemy system of Master Danding originates from a legendary alchemist and has some unique aspects. But Master Danding has always had a weird temper, not so easy to please. And if you use my name, he will probably drive you out immediately.”

“Actually, it may not be the case.” Wang Shouzhe contemplated for a while, “The reason Master Danding has grievances against Academic Palace is due to his independent cultivator background paired with the discrimination which led to a resentful reaction. If I, a named direct disciple of Changchun, make my clan member become his disciple, won’t that boost his ego? Making him feel that he is superior to us from Academic Palace.”

“This…” Master Changchun’s smiled hesitated, that was indeed possible. In order to avoid this named direct disciple from compromising Academic Palace to please Master Danding, Master Changchun reluctantly took out a token, “This is my identity token, you can take it and meet with His Highness Lord Zhenzuo from the Longzuo Royal Mansion. His Highness has a wide network of friends and had favors with Danding. If he is willing to speak for you, Danding will definitely give face.”

That’s how a master should work, Wang Shouzhe was delighted as he received the token and gave a solemn thank you to Master Changchun.

If he was to base on his original status as a 7th-rank Aristocratic Family and pay a visit to Longzuo Royal Mansion, a warm reception from a Great Steward would be the best he could expect. It would be nearly impossible to get acquainted with the famous Lord Zhenzuo.

However, with the connections and the identity token from Master Changchun, Wang Shouzhe felt confident that he could get close to Lord Zhenzuo.

“This token can only be used for this purpose, no waving it around carelessly.” Master Changchun quickly added, “Return it to me immediately after use. Also, do not belittle me in front of Danding.”

“Yes, master.” Wang Shouzhe obediently replied. It was already quite unexpected that Master Changchun agreed to use his connections this time, Wang Shouzhe is not an insatiable person.

“Also, don’t get too involved with the royal mansion.” Master Changchun furrowed his brows and warned again, “In recent years, the situation in the national capital has been like a mist, unpredictable. You, a small clan, better not get involved.”

Mist?

After a brief moment of contemplation, Wang Shouzhe’s heart chilled, “Is master hinting at …”

“If you understand, then don’t say it.” Master Changchun raised his hands to stop him.

“Disciple understands.” Wang Shouzhe responded solemnly, “Us, the Changning Wang Clan, are just a small 7th-rank Aristocratic Family. We definitely wouldn’t be foolish enough to fall into these great affairs. Luckily, our Changning territory is far and remote, all we need to do is to focus on farming well our territory and not resort to any shortcuts.”

Master Changchun nodded in satisfaction. His disciple understands how to keep his feet on the ground and does not have unrealistic aims. He is very methodical and makes him worry-free. No wonder even Green Fern likes him a lot and often stays in Changning for a while.

…

During Wang Shouzhe’s time conducting business in the county town.

Others from the clan each have their own life paths.

There’s a Ding Dong Guard at the eastern part of Longzuo. This guard is located along the mountains, close to the sea, which is a prosperous transport junction, hence it is bustling with a mix of people.

There’s a Lian Hua Floor located in a nearby town.

It was late at night, but the busiest time of the day has just started in Lian Hua Floor.

The entrance was dazzlingly beautiful and bustling with excitement. The red lanterns brightly lit up the surroundings. A group of women in their prime, dressed in gorgeous clothes, greeted the wealthy guests into the premises with beautiful smiles on their faces.

From inside, accompanied with the sound of music, one could feel the lively atmosphere from half a street away.

This is the largest pleasure house in Lang Ping Town. Usually welcoming the richest in town, traveling merchants, and occasionally even aristocratic family members.

This happened because a beauty named Chun Ying had recently arrived.

Chun Ying has a graceful figure and a voice like the melodious nightingale. Men are rarely able to resist her charm.

It is said that she was originally from a wealthy family, but was deceived by a man who led her into unfortunate circumstances.

Her old place was unable to continue due to an unfortunate incident with a person of considerable influence, which led the old madam to spend a large sum of money to have her come over, thus she became the new star of Lian Hua Floor.

At this moment.

On the second floor.

In Chun Ying’s room, there can be heard a series of gasping and moaning, broken words accompanying in short intervals.
