Liang Xi glanced over. The person who walked over was about twenty years old. He was dressed luxuriously and his hair was tied up with a jade hairpin. He was tall and handsome, and his eyes were smiling. He made people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze.
Seeing the person who had come, the few burly men were shocked and hurriedly called out,"Young Master!"
Liang Xi's heart thumped. So it was the owner of the dog. Looking at the noble aura that this kid exuded, she wondered where he came from.
The person called Young Master glared at the few burly men and snorted coldly. He was not angry but he was imposing.
Although they didn't say a word, the muscular men shrunk their necks and didn't dare to speak anymore.
When he faced Liang Xi and the three disciples of the Heaven's Spirit Sect, his smile returned.
The disciples of the Heaven's Spirit Sect knew who this person was after hearing the way the burly men addressed him. They were about to bow when this young master cupped his hands and said,"My upbringing wasn't strict, and I let a few idiots offend you. I'm Chen Shuci from the capital, and I apologize to you.”
Liang Xi and the other disciples of the Heaven's Spirit Sect were still fine after hearing his self-introduction, but the high-ranking officials and dignitaries who were watching let out a cry of surprise.
This person was actually the only son of Grand Secretary Chen in the capital, Chen Shuci, nicknamed " Immortal Compassion."
Liang Xi had never heard of Chen Shuci's name, but he couldn't be blamed for it. The Chu Country occupied nearly three-fifths of the entire mainland. The distance between the capital of the Chu Country and the capital of the Chu Country, Jingdou, was more than ten days, even if one rode a fast horse day and night. Therefore, it was natural that he didn't know much about this young man in Jingdou.
Chen Shuci's father, Chen Mian, held the official position of Grand Scribe. He was the younger brother of the current Emperor and a direct descendant of King Jin. He was personally promoted by King Jin and held a high position.
Chen Mian doted on his only son. In addition, Chen Shuci had been extremely intelligent since he was young. He could recite poetry at the age of three. When he was five, the Imperial Advisor had personally said that he had an excellent constitution and was a talent for cultivation. The Imperial Advisor had even predicted that he might even become one of the top experts in the entire continent and that his reputation would spread throughout the Seven Realms.
Therefore, he had been loved and admired by thousands of people since he was young.
In the entire capital, Chen Shuci was definitely the leader of the children of the officials, and the young ladies fought to be favored.
As long as someone in the family was an official in the imperial court, even if they had never seen Chen Shuci in person, they would still hear of his name.
Seeing this genius today, everyone felt that he was indeed as graceful and dignified as the rumors said.
However, with his status, he took the initiative to apologize to this beggar. Wasn't he giving this beggar too much face?
However, the people immediately understood that Chen Shuci's father, Chen Mian, was Prince Jin's disciple. Prince Jin had a good reputation as a virtuous king, so it was natural for them to be polite.
The onlookers whispered and praised.
Chen Shuci held her folding fan, bowed, and cupped her hands. She faced the ground, and an unfathomable look flashed across her eyes.
Seeing the famous Young Master Chen being so polite to them, the three disciples of the Heavenly Spirit Sect felt a great sense of pride. They could not help but look smug.
Liang Xi heard the comments about Chen Shuci from the crowd. They were all praises such as " genius "," polite "," humble ", and " courteous ". She snorted in her heart. You put on such a good attitude. The bad impression that others had of you because of your servant had instantly changed 180 degrees. You are indeed a scheming person.
After knowing Chen Shuci's extraordinary identity, Liang Xi saw that he took the initiative to bow and did not stop him. When he bent down, she pretended to help him up."Aiya, aiya, this Young Master Chen is too polite.”
Liang Xi was extremely pleased with herself after receiving Chen Shuci's bow.
Chen Shuci didn't seem to mind. She stood up and waved her hand."Young master, these servants have offended you just now. I hope you don't take offense. May I know your name?”
Liang Xi looked at his face carefully and saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, so she said,"My surname is Liang and my name is Xi. Guess what my name is?”
Chen Shuci muttered Liang Xi's name a few times. Everyone thought that he was memorizing Liang Xi's name, so no one noticed that he was secretly making a gesture in a direction of the crowd.
Seeing Liang Xi looking at her, Chen Shuci's expression did not change. There was no fluctuation in her eyes as she said calmly,""Where is Young Master Liang from? Looking at Young Master Liang's attire, he was very approachable. Someone who could come to Heavenly Spirit Mountain alone was probably not an ordinary person.”
Chen Shuci addressed Liang Xi as Young Master. Although Liang Xi felt very comfortable, she subconsciously felt that there was something wrong with him, so she answered very carefully,"I came from Yang Capital."
Yang Capital was considered one of the big cities in Chu. Chen Shuci said,""Yang Capital is a land of outstanding talents. Today, I have met Young Master Liang and it has indeed broadened my horizons.”
"Sure, sure." Liang Xi chuckled and looked at Chen Shuci with a strange expression." How did Young Master Chen know that our Yang Capital is full of outstanding people? The sisters from Happy Red Court are all very energetic. Could it be that Young Master Chen-"
Seeing Liang Xi's dirty face, one of the Chen family's servants, one of the brawny men, couldn't stand it anymore. He stood up and shouted,"A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory! What kind of person do you take our young master for?”
Liang Xi's expression changed when she heard that and she shouted,""Then spit one out for me to see! I'm talking to your Young Master, why are you interrupting? No rules!"
He berated her sternly in front of everyone, not giving this person any face at all.
When the two sides were talking, the most taboo thing was for the underlings to interrupt and break the rules.
Chen Shuci now placed Liang Xi in the same position as herself. She suddenly felt that the servant's interruption had made her lose face. She glared fiercely at that person."Shut up!"
His voice wasn't loud, but it was filled with dignity.
That person's face was pale. He retreated and lowered his head, not daring to say anything else.
Chen Shuci chatted with Liang Xi again. From time to time, she wanted to get some information out of her to understand the relationship between Liang Xi and Deacon Zhang.
Liang Xi had been in the market for a long time, so how could she not hear the little traps in his words? He seemed to have said a lot in a roundabout way, but there was no substantial information at all. Instead, it made Chen Shuci dizzy.
"Zhang Haoyuan, oh, some time ago, my second aunt's neighbor's uncle gave birth to a puppy. We even went to congratulate him.”
Chen Shuci was speechless.
Chen Shuci was also very scheming, so she didn't really understand Liang Xi's words.
After a conversation, neither of them got the information they wanted from each other.
They seemed to be chatting happily like friends who had not seen each other for many years, but in fact, both of them understood in their hearts: The other party was not easy to deal with.
"This person is so young, but his words are flawless. Fortunately, there was no direct conflict just now.”The smile on Chen Shuci's face did not change, but she was secretly wary of Liang Xi.
Liang Xi's eyes darted around." The royal family of the capital. It's better to be careful in the future. Not everyone is as broad-minded as me."”
For a young master like Chen Shuci, the most important thing was face. Liang Xi knew that everyone had humiliated him today. Although she didn't know why he didn't flare up, at least he remembered this grudge in his heart.
Liang Xi did not think that the other party would be magnanimous enough to let this matter go.
"I hope he doesn't pass the test later. If that happens, there's no need to meet again.”Liang Xi prayed silently.
The two of them chatted for a while more before Chen Shuci left with her servants.
From the beginning to the end, he did not say that Liang Xi had hurt his family's servant too badly, leaving a good impression of his generosity.
Liang Xi pursed her lips and thought to herself that if she were to be a disciple of the Heavenly Spirit Sect in the future, she would try her best to avoid him. She did not want to be associated with any influential people, good or bad.
Just as she was deep in thought, three cannons suddenly sounded in the distance. A seven-colored light slowly descended from the high sky. Liang Xi's eyesight was far better than ordinary people's. She narrowed her eyes and saw a person in a Taoist robe with white hair wrapped in the light.
