"Seems like that's how it is..."

Ji Chen was also taken aback, only then realizing that he was currently playing the part of a wayward young master who doesn't stay home.

"Come on, Brother Fu Yun, let's go to the Drunken Fragrance Tower."

After a couple of dry coughs, his face quickly took on the look of a reckless playboy, as he put an arm around Fu Yun's shoulder. Under the watchful eyes of Huang Shuying and Ling'Er, they eventually left.

"This guy... Does he really have to act that seriously?"

Huang Shuying was speechless, but couldn't be bothered to pay any mind. She turned her head and re-entered the Cultivation Technique Hall, letting Ling'Er go about her own business without needing to wait outside.

…

Divine River City, Drunken Fragrance Tower.

This place was the most bustling restaurant in the city, and only the children of some of the noble families were allowed to enter.

The reason was simple: the expenses here were exorbitant, far beyond what ordinary people could afford.

On the second floor, under Fu Yun's lead, Ji Chen arrived there.

Looking around, he saw that a table of delicacies had already been set, with about a dozen people gathered around, chatting amiably about various leisurely topics.

"Yo? Our esteemed Young Master Qin has finally arrived!"

"Haha, how come you're so late today? Were you messing around outside and got punished by your wife to kneel all day?"

"What are you talking about? Who does Brother Qin think he is? Why would Chi Yun dare to scold him?"

Everyone bantered back and forth, pulling Ji Chen to sit down with them.

"Uh..."

As Ji Chen sat down, he noticed the person next to him was looking at him.

His eyes shifted, and when he looked over, he was briefly stunned, "Mo, Brother Mo?"

He hadn't expected to run into someone he knew while mingling with these playboys.

Sure enough, Mo Cheng was seated right next to him, also in the role of a dissolute youth.

From his memory, Ji Chen knew that Mo Cheng was playing a child of the Mo Family from one of the Nine Great Emperor Clans. Coincidentally, the person he was 'possessing' was also named Mo Cheng.

"I never would've guessed that Brother Ji turned into the famous playboy from the Qin Family in Divine River City!"

Mo Cheng laughed heartily, but his face showed no expression as he communicated with Ji Chen through silent sound transmission, "I told you, we are fatefully connected, no? First time we met, you were playboys, and even after arriving in this Secret Realm, it's still the same."

"Don't lump me in with you. My playboy role is just an act, while yours is all too real." Ji Chen couldn't help feeling a bit speechless.

During their conversation, Ji Chen also learned that besides Mo Cheng, his sister Mo Wanqing was also in the Mo Family, daughter of the Mo Family's second uncle, making real siblings into cousins.

"I say, Brother Qin, Brother Mo, what's with you two today? Whispering secrets to each other? Are you treating us like outsiders?"

Everyone was drinking together, slightly inebriated, and Fu Yun, noticing Ji Chen and Mo Cheng softly talking, felt they were out of sync with them, so he said this.

"We're discussing important things; you extra just stay out of it." Mo Cheng replied.

To him, everyone here except the disciples from the Celestial Emperor's Mansion was not real, equivalent to extras, merely foils for them.

"Important things? Aren't you discussing which family's girl to court?" Everyone burst into laughter.

"I say, could you all speak a bit softer? Don't disturb others." Just then, a voice suddenly came from somewhere nearby Ji Chen and the others.

Looking over, they saw another table of young people, all dressed like noble sons.

But unlike Ji Chen and his companions, these weren't playboys but outstanding youths from other large families in the city, regarded as geniuses cherished by their families.

"If you think we're too loud, why don't you find another place?"

Fu Yun, already quite drunk, was angry to hear someone dared to interrupt their conversation. He arrogantly walked over with his wine cup, shouting, "I'm going to see who dares to bark orders at us..."

He was very cocky, going over, but before he finished speaking, he abruptly stopped, and his face showed nervousness.

"Gr...Greetings, Cousin!"

His roguish demeanor instantly disappeared as he saw a person sitting ahead, and he immediately became much more docile, not daring to act brash anymore.

"You still acknowledge me as your cousin?"

A young man in luxurious clothes snorted coldly, his eyes sweeping over Fu Yun, "The reputation of the Fu Family will be ruined by you eventually!"

Fu Feng, grandson of the Fu Family's Supreme Elder, held a very prestigious position, incomparable to Fu Yun, an ordinary branch family member.

Fu Yun's father was only an ordinary elder of the Fu Family, so in terms of status, there was a vast difference between him and Fu Feng. Hence, now seeing the other, he could only become compliant, not daring to be unruly.

"Cousin is right."

Facing Fu Feng's scolding, Fu Yun dared not retort at all, obediently standing there to receive it.

He clenched his fist, as if wanting to resist, but because of the gap in status, he dared not say anything.

"I see you're enjoying your drink quite a lot. Come pour your cousin a drink, and today your offense will be forgiven." Fu Feng sneered, saying this.

Upon hearing these words, Fu Yun clenched his fists even tighter, gritting his teeth with a terribly gloomy expression, but in the end, he could only spit out one word, "Yes."

And just as Fu Yun took a step, arriving next to Fu Feng, ready to pour him wine, suddenly a figure followed closely and pressed down on Fu Yun's hand.

Fu Yun was startled, turning his head, he saw it was Ji Chen.

"Does Master Fu Feng really have such airs, wanting my friend to pour you a drink?" Ji Chen spoke up, making eye contact with Fu Feng.

After all, Fu Yun was one of his 'friends,' and encountering such an incident today at the Drunken Fragrance Tower, he couldn't just ignore it.

"I am reprimanding a family junior; what does it have to do with Young Master Qin?"

Fu Feng frowned, snorted coldly, with flashes of disdain in his eyes.

He always disliked Qin Chen and his group of playboys.

But then again, as the only child of the Qin Family, Qin Chen was pampered and adored, a playboy perhaps, but even Fu Feng, as the grandson of the Fu Family's Supreme Elder, couldn't compare.

"Fu Yun is my friend, if you bully him, it concerns me. Is it possible that Master Fu Feng is physically incapable? A simple task like pouring wine needs others to help you? How come you're even more useless than us playboys?" Ji Chen cocked his head, committed to playing the role of a playboy to the fullest.

"You dare to call me useless?"

Fu Feng, upon hearing this, became furious; being called useless by a playboy was something he simply could not tolerate.
