I Just Won't Play By The Book

Chapter 190 Boss Song 1

Early in the morning, Wu Qingce and the members of the Ye family were enjoying breakfast at the same table.

They ate egg congee for breakfast. Wu Qingce sighed in his heart and thought that his senior brother cooked better than them. Wu Qingce looked at Ye Lingtian and said, “Old Master Ye, when I came here, I realized that Jiyuan Town is indeed the number one town in Sipan County. It’s really lively.”

After hearing this, Ye Lingtian smiled and replied, “It’s really lively.” After saying that, he looked at Ye Xiude and said, “Xiude, after breakfast, ask Shuo’er to accompany Qingce for a stroll in the town. Let the young people get to know each other.”

After hearing this, Ye Xiude put down his bowl and replied, “Yes, father.”

Seeing that the first step on the silk pouch was successful, Wu Qingce cupped his hands towards Ye Lingtian and said, “Thank you, Old Master Ye.”

“No need to thank me. You’re an honor guest, we should treat you well.” Ye Lingtian pointed to the bamboo steamer in the middle of the table and said, “That Yangsu vegetable bun is our local delicacy. Try It.”

“I ate it just now. It tastes very good.”

“Okay. If you like it, then eat more.”

In a harmonious atmosphere, Wu Qingce finished his breakfast and then followed Ye Shuo to the town.

On the way, Ye Shuo brought Wu Qingce to many places in the town that were worth seeing. He also took the opportunity to ask Wu Qingce about a lot of things related to cultivation.

They wandered around the town until evening. Under Wu Qingce’s intentional lead, they came to an inn. The plaque on it had the words Taoju Inn’ written on it.

Looking at the long line of people at the entrance of the inn, Wu Qingce said, “Brother Ye, this inn is so lively. It must be a good place for you guys in Jiyuan Town, right?”

After hearing Wu Qingce’s question, Ye Shuo could not help but reveal a confused expression.

“Taoju Inn? Since when Jiyuan Town had such an inn?’

Due to the annulment of the marriage, Ye Shuo had not wandered around the town for a period of time, but it was only for ten days at most. Where did this inn that he had never heard of? Moreover, when he looked inside, he realized that there were quite many famous people from Jiyuan Town sitting in the main hall of the inn. This made him even more confused.

“Aren’t these people usually go to the Guilai Inn? Why are they all here?’

“Brother Ye?” Seeing that Ye Shuo was stunned, Wu Qingce called out softly.

Only then did Ye Shuo react. He replied, “To tell you the truth, this is the first time I’ve heard of this Taoju Inn. It’s really odd and strange. I wonder when this inn in business.”

When Wu Qingce heard this, he could not help but reveal a smile, “That sounds really interesting. Brother Ye, why don’t we go in and have a seat?”

Although Ye Shuo was a little against going to such a crowded place, he still braced himself and agreed, “Since you’re interested, let’s go and take a look.”

“Please.”

At the end of the line, the two of them were chatting about what they had seen and heard today. Suddenly, a voice came from the side, “Isn’t this the young master of the Ye Family? Long time no see.”

The voice clearly emphasized the words ‘young master of the Ye family’, causing everyone around to look over.

Ye Shuo sighed in his heart, “What a small world.” He looked at the person and said, “Hong Tianrui, don’t mess with me today.”

“Aiyo! I was just saying hello to you, Young Master Ye. Why would I mess you? Your Ye family’s engagement was canceled, so you can’t vent your anger on me, right?”

Hearing Hong Tianrui’s words, Wu Qingce finally understood how difficult the Ye family had been recently.

“Hong Tianrui! I think you’re asking for a fight!”

Although Ye Shuo was polite when he was chatting with Wu Qingce, he was definitely a hot-tempered person. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have challenged Wu Qingce the moment they met.

“What? You want to fight? Then let’s begin!”

Just as the two of them were about to fight, a man wearing an ice-blue long-sleeved shirt walked out of the inn. It was Gu Qinghuan.

“Young Master Hong has graced us with his presence. Sorry for not welcoming you.”

Upon seeing Gu Qinghuan, Hong Tianrui revealed a happy expression. He cupped his hands at him and said, “Hello, Boss Song. Thank you for your help yesterday.”

“You’re welcome, Young Master Hong. It was just a small favor.” Gu Qinghuan looked at Ye Shuo and said, “May I know why the two of you are arguing?”

Hong Tianrui waved his hand and said, “Oh, it’s just a small matter.” He then looked at Ye Shuo and said, “Today, on account of Boss Song, I won’t argue with you.”

After saying that, he called the few people behind him and walked into the inn. Before going up the stairs, he didn’t forget to shout at Gu Qinghuan, “Boss Song, come up and have a drink with us later.”

Gu Qinghuan turned around and cupped his hands in a salute, indicating that he needed to go.

Ye Shuo didn’t come back to his senses until he saw Hong Tianrui went up to the second floor.

“Boss Song? Where did this person come from? How could he make that Hong Tianrui be so polite and warm?” Ye Shuo pondered.

As the representative of the younger generation of the four great families, Ye Shuo knew very well how arrogant Hong Tianrui was. Even when he spoke to him, he carried an air of arrogance. When Hong Tianrui talked to ordinary people, he was even more arrogant and rude.

Ye Shuo was certain that he had never seen this Boss Song before, nor did he know any of the great families with the surname Song in Jiyuan Town. How was it possible for that Hong Tianrui to treat this Boss Song like a friend?

While Ye Shuo had a puzzled look on his face, Gu Qinghuan cupped his hands at him and said, “You must be Ye Shuo. Young Master Ye, I’ve heard a lot about you.”

“You know me?” Ye Shuo pointed at himself and asked.

“Everyone in the Jiyuan Town know Ye family. Young Master Ye is one of the best among the younger generation. You are already a level nine mystic realm at such a young age. I naturally know you.”
