Ye Luo laughed loudly, effectively defusing the awkward atmosphere.
Little did he know, the truth was that the thoughts of the Border Guard and the Imperial Family could already be glimpsed from Ye Luo’s recent missions. Unfortunately, Ye Luo hadn’t thought that far ahead.
In this mont, Ye Luo was still pondering how best to stir up so trouble!
"Soone, co here!"
Ye Luo yelled, and imdiately a servant entered the room.
"Bring the best food and wine you have here, all of it, and make sure there’s plenty of it. I heard this place is a scam; if you dare cheat , watch out—I might just wreck your establishnt!"
Ye Luo declared arrogantly, but truth be told, he was rely looking for a pretext to cause trouble.
Yet, frustratingly, the servants were so compliant that they didn’t even attempt to push back. Instead, one obediently replied with a respectful tone, "Rest assured, Young Master Ye. There will be more than enough. You’ll surely be satisfied!"
The feeling was akin to unleashing a punch with all your might, only for it to land on soft cotton—utterly powerless!
Ye Luo’s lips twitched slightly; these people were far too tolerant.
"Hey, Brother Ye, do you think they might have mistaken you for a Prince?"
Yun Liancheng was a bit shocked. If anyone else dared act this arrogantly, they would have been thrown out by now.
But Ye Luo’s boastful antics had resulted in nothing at all—in fact, the servant remained submissive.
"Why are you asking ? I wanted to ask you the sa thing! But hey, if they think I’m a Prince, then we might as well take full advantage of it. Let’s eat and drink to our hearts’ content today and not pay a single coin!"
Having failed in his initial plan, Ye Luo quickly concocted a new idea.
Yun Liancheng and the others couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly. Even if they’d mistaken him for soone else, shouldn’t he ease up a little? Carrying on this way—wasn’t he worried the Crown Prince might co back for payback?
Still, everyone assud Ye Luo was just joking, so they didn’t take him too seriously.
Soon, the food and wine arrived, and the group indulged in a feast, eating and drinking until they were completely satisfied. Only then did they get up to leave.
Alcohol?
In truth, even the finest wines from the Imperial Family’s restaurants couldn’t truly intoxicate those who possessed cultivation powers. Unless it was so rare and exceptional brew, like the celestial-grade wine "Immortal’s Drunken Bliss," even the strongest liquor would have no effect whatsoever.
Although Ye Luo had ordered the best wine in the imperial restaurant, it was still just ordinary wine. As a result, even the so-called "finest" couldn’t get anyone drunk.
Well, except for Ye Luo, who shalessly faked drunkenness just to complete his mission!
Ye Luo had truly gone all out for the sake of his task.
"Hey, hey, hey, ti to settle the bill!"
Ye Luo yelled loudly.
Imdiately, a servant stepped forward.
"Young Master Ye, your total is seven thousand three hundred gold coins!"
The servant spoke respectfully to Ye Luo.
Seven thousand three hundred gold coins!
Yun Liancheng and the others felt a slight jolt happen internally. While it wasn’t an amount they couldn’t afford, it certainly wasn’t small either.
The group thought Ye Luo footing the entire bill alone was a bit much, so they prepared to contribute and pool their money.
But to everyone’s surprise, Ye Luo suddenly got up and declared, "Seven thousand three hundred gold coins? That’s expensive! But guess what—I’m dining and dashing today. I’m not paying. Let’s see if you can do anything about it!"
With that, Ye Luo strode out of the restaurant.
"Brother Ye, Brother Ye!"
Yun Liancheng looked deeply embarrassed, utterly perplexed by Ye Luo’s antics today—why was he being so unreasonable?
In truth, even Ye Luo was slightly blushing. Damn it, deliberately posturing like this really did feel forced. Even Ye Luo was starting to feel embarrassed.
But what choice did he have? If he was intent on causing trouble, he had to follow through!
Except—the mont Ye Luo walked out of the restaurant, he found the servants standing neatly in a row, respectfully seeing him off. Not a single one ca to confront him!
What kind of situation was this?
Ye Luo had wanted to throw a tantrum, but now he couldn’t even find a reason to start one!
He’d eaten the food, skipped out on the bill, and yet they still wouldn’t fight with him. No matter how thick-skinned Ye Luo was, he couldn’t co up with any new excuses to nitpick!
Watching Ye Luo leave, Yun Liancheng and the others felt helpless. Yun Liancheng wanted to step forward to settle the bill, but the servant still respectfully said to him, "Young Master Yun, I wouldn’t dare accept your paynt. Young Master Ye has already said he’s dining and dashing today—we have to comply."
The group exchanged glances, each feeling a mix of helplessness and confusion.
Well, it seed they really had mistaken Ye Luo for a Prince.
With the servant refusing to accept paynt, Yun Liancheng had no choice but to quickly follow Ye Luo out.
Outside the Imperial Family’s restaurant, guards, servants, and dozens of personnel stood respectfully in formation, awaiting their departure. Three luxurious carriages were already lined up, ready to go.
"Farewell, Young Master Ye! We look forward to your next visit!"
The unified chorus was so impeccable that even Ye Luo couldn’t help but quicken his pace!
What kind of absurdity was this?
Ye Luo had simply wanted to show off a little, but instead, the staff had gone above and beyond to accommodate him!
Of course, Ye Luo didn’t board the carriages, nor did anyone from his group.
As they walked away, unease lingered in everyone’s hearts. Yun Liancheng asked multiple tis, "Brother Ye, was this really okay? I an, we’ve offended the Crown Prince; won’t he co after us?"
"Who are you asking? Who am I supposed to ask?"
Ye Luo felt rather helpless. It seed like this mission had failed after all. He wondered whether the Border Guard might punish him.
Yet, as Ye Luo sneakily checked his wrist communicator, he found the ssage on it read, "Mission Complete!"
...
Alright, completed is completed.
Ye Luo and Yun Liancheng returned to the Yun Family estate.
But Ye Luo’s mind was swirling with countless thoughts. Each Border Guard mission was more ridiculous than the last—yet what could Ye Luo do?
Just then, a new Border Guard mission appeared.
"New task: Establish your own residence and complete a journey to the Sacred Temple of Cloud’s Rise."
Missions kept coming one after another. While Ye Luo had already planned to visit the Sacred Temple, it now counted as part of his mission. As for establishing his own residence—what was that supposed to an?
He was living comfortably with the Yun Family; why did the Border Guard demand he build his own ho?
Well, fine. If building was required, then so be it. After all, Ye Luo had long harbored the desire to have his own place.
After glancing at the mission details, Ye Luo didn’t give it too much attention and headed back to his room.
...
"Lu Yi, where’s Rou’er?"
Seeing Lu Yi tidying up inside the room, Ye Luo casually asked.
"Sister is taking care of Uncle Chen. She said she won’t be coming over tonight—she’s feeling a little unwell."
Lu Yi’s cheeks were noticeably flushed as she spoke.
Clearly, Nalan Rou’s "not coming over" had a much heavier implication.
Ye Luo was montarily stunned but quickly understood; Nalan Rou was probably genuinely not feeling well.
After all, having just experienced intimacy for the first ti, even though Ye Luo had treated her, it was impossible for her to be entirely unaffected.
Ye Luo approached Lu Yi gently and pulled her into his arms.
"Why aren’t you taking better care of yourself? These tasks can easily be handed off to soone else."
His tone carried evident tenderness as he spoke.
