The four large families who were ruling over the Golden Basin city were the Hun family, the Gu family, the Shin family and the Murong family. Gu Si introduced himself as a member of the Gu family. He was not a normal member of the large Gu family but actually was a direct descendant of the Gu family.

While eating and drinking he got intoxicated very soon and started to pour out all his grievances. It was very abnormal for someone to just start to complain to a stranger but Gu Si judge Xiang Xiaofang to be just a lucky beggar who had gotten a second chance after the lady Lin Yun pitied him.

He also judged that the lady was quite an educated person and she was probably currently teaching the beggar Xiang about letters or something. He did not even entertain the thought that the person in front of him could be a martial artist or a powerful individual.

...

Gu Si was the second son of the Gu family's head. All the four of the families were known for their hereditary great aptitude for immortal cultivation but unfortunately Gu Si had a very limited talent in that field.

On the other hand, his talent with the martial arts were not bad so he was determined to get stronger with that in the past. But one day, he had a duel with a younger genius immortal cultivator of the family and he was completely defeated by that boy.

Gu Si was unable to even touch the boy with his martial arts and was defeated in just 5 moves. After that day, he completely lost any will to get stronger himself and just started to enjoy his life as an untalented failure.

Surprisingly he enjoyed such a life a lot. After giving up on his ambition to become strong and accepting the fact that his talents were average for both immortal cultivation and martial arts, he felt like a load was off his soldiers.

Even though he was not very talented, he was still a young master of one of the ruling families of this city. So he started to have a very comfortable life using his family's influence. He did whatever he wanted to and enjoyed himself to the fullest.

But sometimes he always felt a bit of disappointment for now being able to become stronger like the other descendants. So he suddenly felt like he could open his hearts to those strangers who knew nothing about him or about the city.

...

But unfortunately both Xiang Xiaofang and Lin Yan were not interested in his story. Elena was also not very interested but still she paid attention to him as the story was not bad at all.

But she did not feel any pity for him as to be honest, giving up after losing one time was quite pathetic and he was enjoying his leisurely life too. So there was nothing to pity him for. But there was one thing that interested her -

"But you're quite lucky, aren't you ?"

Gu Si was already drunk so he did not think too much and replied -

"Oh, how do you know that ? Hahaha. In this life if I can be proud of one thing then that would be luck. I have never lost a gamble match, you know ? Hahaha."

Yeah he was the type of drunk who laughed too much when he was intoxicated. But his laughter stopped and drunken intoxication also somewhat vanished when spoke the next words.

"I know right. Just when you were going to die in the hands of some thugs, you found little known an acquaintance who had the power to save your life. Really, that amount of luck is insane."

When Elena finished speaking those words, Gu Si broke out of his intoxicated state and noticed that two men in a blue robe with a symbol of two wolves facing the opposite direction, were coming toward their table. Any person who lived in this city for some time, would know that this symbol represented the Shin family.

Seeing this Gu Si's face turned pale. He immediately understood why these people were coming toward him. Actually, a few days before, in a large auction, Gu Si took a fancy to a ring and brought it. But as soon as he brought the ring, the third young master of the Shin family immediately entered the auction house and wanted that ring.

Seeing that even a third young master had the balls bully him, the second young master, Gu Si felt humiliated and insulted the third young master of the Shin family. As the auction house was a public place, that young master named Shin Luo was not able to vent his anger on Gu Si there and left the auction house after saying some threatening words.

As that ring did not look like anything special, he did not think that the matter of this grudge would go on any further. But after returning to his room and checking the ring properly, found that this ring had a high grade immortal cultivation technique engraved on the gem.

From this he understood that the value of the ring was greater than he thought, but still when he thought that Shin Luo should not be sure if the ring really contained any immortal cultivation technique or not, so he should not take action so soon.

So if he just gave the cultivation technique to his family then he would be able to earn quite a lot of contribution points and he did not have to fear Shin Luo's revenge.

But then, again thought that after giving this ring to the family he would not be able to learn this technique himself so in his greed he decided to give this to his family after he could remember the whole thing. And now he was paying for his greed.

...

Hearing Elena Xiang Xiaofang and Lin Yan also looked at these two men. They had already noticed them coming closer to the table but as they were not giving off any killing intent toward the duo, they did not think that those two were hostile.

Coming close to their table, one of the blue robed men said -

"Hello young masters and miss. I'm Gao Shun, a personal servant for the third young master of the Shin family. And this is my colleague, Cao Xiaomao."

Seeing Elena nodding at him, he immediately understood who was the actual decision maker of this party and turned toward her with an even more respectful expression and continued -

"We are very sorry to disturb you while you all were having such a good time, but unfortunately our young master wants to meet with the second young master Gu very badly. So as servants we have no other way to invite young master Gu Si to come with us. And take this as a token of our apology."

Saying so he put down a cloth bag filled with twenty thousand R. It was more than enough money to book the whole tavern for a week. So they were not cheap with their apology money either.

Not only that but after putting the bag in the table, Gao Shun did not take any more action and waited for the group of three to make a decision. It was very clear that he wanted them to not meddle in this situation. Seeing it Elena smiled and asked a question even though she knew the answer to it.

"It is very rare to see a servant with such an impeccable manner in big families. Is it common in this city ?"

Gao Shun smiled self deprecatingly and said -

"Not at all young miss. It is only that I have good intuition and I can feel that you all are bad news. That's why I'm being so humble. I also felt that being honest in this situation would be the best result, so I am being very honest right now."

...

It was very interesting to see two unique skill holders in the same city and both of those skills related to fate and destiny none the less.

Gu Si had an ability called "Abdicational Luck". It allowed him to gain quite a lot of stats points for the luck stat by giving up on his talents. He subconsciously gave up most of his immortal cultivation talent and gained close to four hundred stats points which was truly an exceptional amount.

On the other hand, Gao Shun had a unique skill called "Life Instincts". It helped him to avoid most of the situations that could potentially threaten his life and sometimes gave him some hints about how to get out of that situation. Even though this skill did not react to Elena, it reacted to Xiang Xiaofang presence and Guo Shun had no other way but to become humble in front of them.

...

Elena was not really interested in saving Gu Si as he was close enough to Elena for that kind of treatment. This was a normal case of power struggle and it happened almost everyday and in almost every corner of the world. But as Gu Si was someone who had helped Xiang Xiaofang once, she decided to leave the decision to him.

"Xiaofang, I'm not going to interfere in this matter. So you can make whatever decision you want. Just do what you really want to do."

"Yes, teacher. Thanks for your permission."

Seeing that all of them were already thinking that he was already a dead meat, Gu Si felt humiliated once again. And when even a beggar like Xiang Xiaofang was also talking condescendingly about him, who was in Gu Si's opinion just a lowly beggar, he lost his mind in rage and took out something from his pockets and then he threw it towards all of the five people present there.

"How dare you all humiliate me. DIE."
