#74 - The First Prodigy of Chu

On the way back to the sect, Jun Wuxie kept thinking, what kind of power was behind Ji Yinlan?

It wasn't until he reached the mountainside and arrived at the small courtyard, smelling the aroma wafting from the kitchen, that he calmed his mind and stopped thinking about those things.

In the courtyard, Xu Daoling and Kongxu were not in their rooms recuperating. Covered in bandages, they sat neatly at the table, staring eagerly at the kitchen, swallowing saliva from time to time.

Jun Wuxie was speechless. These two guys were truly unadulterated gluttons. Look at their greedy appearance, so pathetic.

"Did they make all of this?"

Jun Wuxie came to the table, looking at the table full of delicious dishes, with excellent color, aroma, and taste.

"Eldest Brother, you're back?"

Xu Daoling pointed to the dishes on the table, then pointed to the kitchen with a cheeky smile: "Two sisters-in-law, this craftsmanship is not bad. You will be blessed in the future, tsk tsk."

Jun Wuxie's mouth twitched violently when he heard this, wanting to discipline this guy who couldn't keep his mouth shut.

Beside him, Kongxu also winked at him, his expression very cheap, saying: "Two sisters-in-law, not only are they beautiful, but they are also so gentle and virtuous, capable in the kitchen and presentable in the hall. Eldest Brother's skill in picking up girls…"

Jun Wuxie slapped Kongxu's bald head.

Kongxu immediately let out a miserable scream. Blood almost oozed from his wound-healing bald head.

He grimaced in pain, indignant, and pointed to Xu Daoling, saying: "Why hit me and not him!"

"You are not pure in the six senses. I am punishing you on behalf of the Buddha."

"Who said I am a monk!"

Kongxu was very unconvinced.

"You are not a monk?" Jun Wuxie and Xu Daoling were both surprised, pointing to his bald head that was brighter than a light bulb, and said: "Then why did you shave your head?"

"Speaking of this makes me angry!" Kongxu said indignantly: "I was not a monk before. Later, I was forcibly accepted as a disciple by the Buddhist sect and had my hair shaved off. Now, because of the awakening of my bloodline, it will never grow back!"

"No wonder, you don't have the slightest bit of a monk's duty. So you are a fake monk." Jun Wuxie smiled and touched his bald head, saying: "That's good. Look at how I barely won the title of 'brilliant and dazzling' today with three kills with three swords. When you stand outside, you are directly brilliant and dazzling. This is your advantage."

"Get away from me!"

Kongxu turned up his nose and glared, pushing Jun Wuxie away.

It was too much. He was bringing up what he didn't want to talk about!

Jun Wuxie smiled and walked towards the kitchen.

Inside, Xiao Yueyao was standing on a stool, concentrating on watching Qin Keqing and Su Lan busying themselves at the stove.

The two women were a little flustered, with patches of flour here and there on their faces, like two little cats.

Seeing this scene, he almost laughed out loud.

"Oh, Brother is back!"

Xiao Yueyao threw herself into his arms.

Qin Keqing and Su Lan suddenly turned around, saw him staring at their faces, and the expression of being unable to hold back their laughter, immediately covered their faces with their hands, turned around, and stomped their feet娇憨: "Ah, don't look, it's so embarrassing!"

"Cough, I think it's pretty good."

"You're still talking!" Qin Keqing pushed him out of the kitchen, saying: "Don't come in, just wait to eat!"

…

Dinner was very sumptuous. The dishes tasted delicious. They were all dishes that they had never heard of, let alone eaten, on weekdays.

These ingredients were very rare, the meat was delicate and tender, with a faint spiritual energy inside.

During the meal, Jun Wuxie learned that Qin Keqing and Su Lan had learned and made these dishes on the spot, no wonder they were so flustered, but the taste was very good.

Being able to reach this level for the first time cooking, it seems that their talent is not low.

"Here is the gambling money you won today."

Qin Keqing took out a purple-golden coin card and the beast core that was mortgaged.

Jun Wuxie checked it, and there was a full 10 billion inside!

"Miss Qin, you gave too much."

"Not much. Adding the principal, it's a total of 10 billion. The principal will be considered the bonus from my Hunter Association to you. After all, we were able to earn this money because you won against the Great River Sword Sect."

Jun Wuxie thought for a while and didn't decline any further, casually asking: "How much did your Hunter Association earn this time?"

"About a trillion."

She said with a smile, but it made everyone except Su Lan dumbfounded.

"So much?"

"Young Master Jun, you don't know, it was originally more than this."

"Sister Su Lan!"

Qin Keqing hurriedly winked at him.

"What?"

Jun Wuxie looked at the two of them with some confusion.

Su Lan said with a smile: "Keqing didn't let me say. In fact, more than ten million people placed bets this time. The amount earned by the Hunter Association was several hundred billion, but Keqing instructed the association to refund the retail investors' betting funds in full in your name!"

Jun Wuxie was silent when he heard this.

Qin Keqing retreated hundreds of billions of dollars as soon as she said, and it was still in his name.

If it was to show goodwill to him, this price was too great.

What does he have that is worth her doing this?

"Keqing, thank you."

He didn't know how to express his feelings. Apart from a thank you, there seemed to be no other way at the moment.

"Wuxie, are we considered true friends now?"

Qin Keqing's smile was sweet. She was in a good mood. This man's address to her had finally changed from Miss Qin to Keqing.

This shows that in his heart, their relationship is closer than before.

"Of course!" Jun Wuxie nodded, then looked at Su Lan and said: "We are all friends."

"Cough." Jiu Ye coughed and joked: "With this table full of dishes, don't spread dog food. This old man is going to be stuffed to death."

"Drink your wine."

Jun Wuxie stuffed the wine gourd into Jiu Ye's mouth.

…

Late at night, Qin Keqing and Su Lan left together.

Jun Wuxie was full of wine and food, had a huge amount of money, and was in a very good mood. He hugged Yueyao and slept soundly all night.

The next day, as soon as it dawned, he went to the capital.

In a few days, he would have to go to the Nanshan Secret Realm.

Before that, he had to continue to improve his realm.

Now that he had funds, he didn't have to worry about two-star spiritual weapons.

Furthermore, Ji Yinlan's birthday was in a few days, so he had to find a decent gift.

"Young Master Jun!"

"Hello, Young Master Jun!"

…

Arriving in the capital, along the way, people kept smiling and greeting him.

He was a little confused at first, but soon he heard people discussing and understood the situation. It turned out that Qin Keqing had won over many people's hearts by refunding the betting money in his name.

Thinking of the help Qin Keqing had given him from Qingyang City until now, he felt even more grateful in his heart.

At the entrance of Jubaozhai, the conversation of two people caught his attention.

"Have you heard that the number one genius of Chu State is coming to our capital!"

The number one genius of Chu State?

Jun Wuxie was stunned, but he was a little curious.

"Well, I heard that it was an invitation from the royal family. That Chu Zhongtian is a genius, and he is in the top ten on the Nanyu Fengyun List!"

"Chu Zhongtian is the crown prince of Chu State. It is said that the emperor of Chu State once intended to marry Da Zhou, but our emperor has never responded positively. This time, Chu Zhongtian is coming to the capital to attend the seventh princess's birthday banquet."

"If Chu Zhongtian comes to the capital, the younger generation of our Da Zhou will probably be overshadowed and can only be reduced to foils. After all, Chu Zhongtian is too strong. Since his debut, he has defeated all opponents of the same generation in Chu State!"

"What do you think, if Chu Zhongtian brings up the matter of marriage again this time, what will be the attitude of the seventh princess? Will she agree?"

"It's hard to say. I heard that the borderlands have been uneasy recently, and there is a high possibility of war, which will endanger the borders of our Da Zhou. In this case…"

…

Jun Wuxie couldn't help but frown.

Chu Zhongtian, the number one genius of Chu State, the crown prince of Chu State, the top ten on the Nanyu Fengyun List?

These names are very loud.

Chu State wants to marry Da Zhou?

Chu Zhongtian wants to marry Ji Yinlan?

Jun Wuxie touched his chin, then walked into Jubaozhai, went directly to the chief manager's hall, and found Su Lan.
