“Hey, a skinny kid wants to stand up for this idiot!” The fat boy showed his teeth and made a threat while he waved his fist.

The handsome young man was not scared at all; it was as if he did not see the huge fist.

“I can’t beat you in a fight, for sure.” Feng Jue only had a boy attendant with him. Although he had learned horsemanship and archery before, he could only defend himself and had insufficient lethality. “However, it’s a bit too much for you to bully others by relying on the number of people you have.”

“Ha! Leave if you can’t beat me, and stop muttering nonsense in front of me. You can either watch him get beaten up, or come over and get beaten up with him. This is Shangjing. Does anyone not know who I am? How dare a sharp-tongued scholar stir up trouble!”

Feng Jue looked unperturbed and replied in a relaxed manner, “Although I’m not a match for you, it doesn’t mean that no one can subdue you.”

The fat boy responded with an evil tone, “Do you want to go about begging for help too?”

“There’s no need for me to do that.” Feng Jue swiftly revealed a smirk, as if a thick line was drawn on a clean piece of drawing paper. “Do you dare to make a bet with me? If you win, I won’t care about Langjun Huang. If you lose, this matter will be forgotten.”

The fat boy snorted. Although he was as fat as a pig and did not have much knowledge, it did not really mean that he was a pig.

“I don’t gain anything from this bet.” The fat boy stared at Feng Yu from head to toe with his slinky eyes. Then, he continued vengefully, “Why don’t we change the bet? If you win, this matter can be forgotten. If you lose, why don’t you sleep with me tonight? How’s that?” As soon as he said that, the look on everyone’s faces changed. There was a subtle light in Feng Jue’s eyes that revealed a frightening, murderous intention.

There was a tremor in the fat boy’s heart. His legs felt like jelly because of his gaze, but he still squared his shoulders firmly.

Secretary Huang’s god-grandson did not expect that things would turn out in such a way. He quickly berated the fat boy, “Shut up. You really have the guts to say anything. Brother Jue is the third son of the Feng family in Shangyang. Are you not scared of offending people?”

He purposely emphasized the words “the third son.”

Jiang Pengji secretly stared at Feng Jue from head to toe and pondered in her mind, Is he really the third brother of Feng Jin?

Feng Jue looked as if he was dressed in plain clothes, but the fabric used for his clothing was delicate. One could tell that he was wealthy and respectable. The fat boy was completely clueless that he had such a powerful background. Although the head of the secretariat, Feng Ren, had already resigned long ago, the prestige of the Feng family in Dongqing was still unshakable.

The fat boy intended to back down, but he did not want to show any signs of fear on his face.

Feng Jue sneered and replied, “Sure.”

“Brother Jue!” Secretary Huang’s god-grandson regretted his decision. If he knew such a thing would happen, he would not have dragged Feng Jue into the slough.

The fat boy harbored resentment in his heart. Since Feng Jue did not give him an out, they were all in a position they could not back down from.

“What are we betting on?” the fat boy asked.

Feng Jue pointed his soft, white finger at Jiang Pengji, who was looking on from the side.

“Whoever takes a personal item from that Langjun will win. How does that sound?”

Jiang Pengji was utterly confused.

The audience in the streaming room regained their senses. He was directing the trouble to someone else.

Mutangchun Kouxiangtang: “How could this be? Feng Jin’s younger brother is so nasty and hateful. He even framed the streamer!”

Linglong Mibaosuo: “He’s inwardly vicious. The streamer is swept up in this mess even though she’s just an innocent bystander.”

Mianguan Laosiji: “Huh, why do I feel like Feng Jue already recognized the streamer, and wants to use this opportunity to ask for help? Feng Jin knows the streamer, so he must have told his brother about the streamer’s terrifying combatant value. He must know that the streamer can fight a hundred people by herself.”

Everyone was also puzzled about the bet.

The fat boy reacted first. He was so angry that he almost stamped his foot. “Bah. You definitely know him. This is cheating.”

Feng Jun replied innocently, “I don’t know him.”

Jiang Pengji frowned unhappily. Her hands were a bit itchy and she said, “I don’t know him.”

The fat boy smiled maliciously. “Since you don’t know each other, the bet will be a lot easier. If you don’t want to suffer for no reason, take out a personal item of yours. The more personal, the better. I’ll definitely win this bet. Surround him!”

The manservants obeyed his order and quickly surrounded Jiang Pengji, blocking off Feng Jue. As long as the fat boy obtained Jiang Pengji’s personal item before Feng Jue did, he would win the bet.

Jiang Pengji sneered and suddenly asked with a clear voice, “Feng Huaiyu, is your brother so inwardly vicious?”

At that moment, the clear and mature voice of a young man was heard from a private room on the second floor. “My younger brother is playful and rude. Lanting, please forgive him.”

Before the voice faded away, a young man wearing a jade crown and a water-colored scholar’s costume lifted the bead curtain and walked down the stairs pleasurably.

She looked him over. It was Feng Jin, or Feng Huaiyu, whom she had not seen for years!

The young man was very handsome. His appearance and profile were somewhat similar to that of the other young man. When the two were put together, it was easy to tell that they were brothers.

“Even so, he shouldn’t place such a bet. If he loses, how will he leave?” Jiang Pengji felt puzzled. In her opinion, the upbringing of the Feng family could only produce a personable gentleman like Feng Jin. How could they produce such a deviant, bold, and a willful child like Feng Jue, who even dared to agree to that sort of bet? He had quite a temper.

“As long as I’m watching him, nothing will happen.” After not seeing him for a few years, Feng Jin’s defiance and immaturity had disappeared under the temper of time, leaving only a jade-like tact and pellucidity. He was like a pearl that was free from dust that shone brilliantly and gently, but not glaringly.

“What about his reputation?” Nothing would happen to him, but his reputation could be ruined.

Feng Jin moved his lips slightly and looked somewhat helpless. “When you’re up to your ears in debt, you stop worrying.”

Among the three brothers of the Feng family, Feng Jue was the only eccentric one. No one knew from whom he had inherited his deviant temper.

After hearing what Feng Jin said, Jiang Pengji finally understood.

Jiang Pengji and Feng Jin were talking about the olden days. The fat boy felt that he had been left out. He was unhappy and was about to lose his temper.

The fat boy stamped his foot and pointed his fat fingers at Jiang Pengji with a somewhat sinister facial expression. “Who cares who you are? Grab this kid and strip off his clothes. Doesn’t he want a personal item? I’ll take all of them away and make him lose for sure!”

Feng Jin glanced at the fat boy pitifully. He was heedless of the consequences.

Staring back and forth from his brother and Jiang Pengji, he was thinking about something. “Take care of my clerk. If he loses a strand of hair, Huaiyu, you won’t be able to make it right.”

Jiang Pengji threw the sandalwood fan in her hands to Feng Jin and asked him to take care of Xu Ke.

From the side, Princess An Yina stole a glance at the handsome Feng brothers with her flirtatious eyes. They looked appealing and handsome enough for her to feast her eyes on.

Liu Xi only had the title of being Liu She’s son, and had no achievements or fame. He did not hold any government official post, but he actually knew many young talents.

Feng Jin smiled pleasurably. “I guarantee that Xu Ke will definitely remain in one piece.”

The audience in the streaming room could not help but cover their eyes. The upcoming scene was too violent that they could not bear to watch.

“Hehe. Have you come around?” The fat boy did not even know that death was at hand. He thought that Jiang Pengji was afraid of getting into trouble and wanted to take the initiative to give in. “Take your clothes off yourself!”

“Do you know who my father is?” Jiang Pengji asked.

The fat boy was mad. “Why should I care about who your father is?”

“Yeah. You don’t have to know who my father is, but you have to know who I am!” After Jiang Pengji was done talking, she immediately punched his left eye without a single warning.
