Chapter Eighty-Four The Four Great Young Masters
On the fifth floor of the Wanghai Building, Zhao Ji looked out and saw that the view was indeed broad. The so-called "ascending to a high place and looking far" should be this feeling, as if there was a breath of depression in his chest, and he felt refreshed after taking a deep breath.
The fifth floor is no smaller than the first floor, but compared to the first floor which was packed with tables and chairs, only ten tables were placed on the fifth floor.
Such a large space, only ten tables were placed, all of which were placed near the window, and a large area was wasted.
The decorations, tables and chairs, wooden walls, etc. in the fifth floor do not necessarily look luxurious, but rather simple. However, such a large space only allows ten tables of people to dine at the same time, and it can be imagined how much it costs for one meal.
Zhao Ji and Luo Qiushui arrived when there were only ten tables with people on two of them. Their arrival naturally attracted the attention of those people.
"What a coincidence! Luoshi sister is also here, why don't we sit together?"
As soon as the two entered, a young nobleman immediately came forward to greet them, rushing towards Luo Qiushui with a warm smile on his face and saying loudly.
"Hello, Luoshi."
A handsome young man who was with the young master followed closely and greeted Luo Qiushui.
"Oh dear, Luo sister is also here. What a great day today is! The heirs of the four cities and five major families have all arrived."
A young man in Chinese attire, fanning himself with a folding fan, walked towards Luo Qiushui with an air of swagger and said loudly: "Luo sister, that guy Gu Wan Dao is really boring. Why don't you come over to our table and have a drink with us?"
"Hello, little sister."
Another young nobleman came to pay his respects to Luo Qiushui.
These four young men, without a doubt, are the heirs of the other four major families in Sifang City, excluding the Luo family. The young master who spoke first must be Gu Wanjian of the Gu family.
Zhao Ji never thought that just having lunch would lead him to meet the heir of one of the four major families, it was really too coincidental.
"Brother Gu is well, Brother Guan is well, Brother Lu is well, Brother Lü is well. You are also having a meal here, what a coincidence."
As one of the five family heirs, facing the greetings from the four people, Luo Qiushui couldn't ignore them and responded politely to each one.
However, for the invitation to share a table, Luo Qiushui refused, "Gu brother, Lu brother, I came to Wang Hai Lou today to invite someone, so we don't need to be together, let's just use our own."
"Oh, right, Luo sister, I forgot to ask, who is this gentleman? Could it be that he's also a young master from some family?"
The scrutinizing gaze fell on Zhao Ji, and the young man in fine clothes curled up a faint, insincere smile at the corner of his mouth, asking with feigned enthusiasm.
With that, Zhao Ji had no good impression of this person anymore. Earlier, this person clearly ignored him, but now he was saying such things, revealing his hypocrisy.
"Oh, right, I forgot to introduce you guys."
Lu Autumn Water suddenly enlightened way.
Actually, Luo Qiushui didn't mean to introduce a few people to each other, but since the young man in Chinese tunic had already brought it up, she couldn't pretend not to hear him, so she could only make an introduction for both parties.
"Zhao, this is Gu's son, Gu Wantao; his father is the county governor. This is Guan's son, Guan Feng; his father is the head of the Guan family in this generation. This one is Lu's daughter, Lu Yu; her father is the deputy governor. And lastly, this one is Lü's son, Lü Yuan; his father is the head of the Lü family. These four are known as the Four Great Young Masters of Fang City."
Four people, Luo Qiushui one by one introduced to Zhao Ji, later on, still pouting, seemingly not convinced by those four young masters.
"This is Zhao Ji, he's my good friend."
Luo Qiushi then said solemnly to the four young people.
"It's Brother Zhao, who has arrived at the Lower Valley of Wan Dao. This is my good friend Guan Feng. Welcome, Brother Zhao, to Four Sides City. In the future, if there's anything you need, feel free to come find me. In Four Sides City, we can usually handle general matters."
La Shangguan Feng, Gu Wan Dao expressed goodwill to Zhao Ji.
"Zhao Ji is right, since you are Luo Mei's friend, which means you're also my friend Lu Yu, I won't treat you poorly like Gu Wan Dao. In Four Sides City, no matter what trouble you get into, I can help you resolve it. Moreover, I've always been good to my friends, if you're willing to befriend me, I'll ensure that you live a life of wealth and glory, with endless enjoyment, how about it?"
Lu Yu was walking with a pleased expression, chatting with Zhao Ji on one side, while casting sidelong glances at Luo Qiushui with eyes full of fervor and passion.
"Lu, don't talk nonsense."
Furrowing his brow, Lu Yu pulled him and Lü Yuan said in a low voice.
He looked at Lü Yu in surprise, and Lu Yu shouted carelessly: "Talking nonsense? Do I? What I said is all true. As long as Brother Zhao is willing to join me, I guarantee that he will have a good life, with plenty of money, beautiful women, and everything he wants. Isn't this the best life?"
His face was expressionless, his eyes scanned the four people's faces indifferently, and stayed on Lu Yu for the longest time. He didn't react to their enthusiastic or arrogant words at all.
Gu Wan Dao, Guan Feng and Lü Yuan, the three of them, did not disappoint the identity of the five family heirs of Sifang City. Every word and every move showed a very high level of cultivation, at the same time, some city government can be seen.
It's just Lu Yu, I don't know if this person is really foolish or pretending to be, but he's completely without guile, and his behavior is a bit too arrogant, too disdainful of others, making people feel disgusted.
This is also the current situation that Zhao Ji has not figured out, and does not know the specific strength of the five major families. In addition, he does not want to cause trouble for Luo Qiushui, otherwise, he would have been slapped in the face a long time ago.
Although he restrained himself, the bad feeling in his heart towards Lu Yu did not decrease at all. In the future, once there was an opportunity, Zhao Ji would absolutely not mind giving him a show of color.
"Luyu, I'm telling you again, Zhao Ji is my friend and also my elder brother. If you dare to disrespect him again, don't blame me for turning against you."
Her face was as cold as frost, and her eyes shot out a chilly light. Luo Qiushui stared straight at Lu Yu and said loudly without being polite.
Lu Qiu Shui's words were decisive and immediately caused everyone present to feel surprised and shocked, including Zhao Ji.
Not bad, Zhao Ji indeed saved Luo Qiushui's life, but the Luo family also gave Zhao Ji a lot of returns. Even if it was not enough to make up for that one life-saving favor, Luo Qiushui was willing to turn against him and Lu Yu for his sake, still making him feel unexpected.
These big families generally prioritize interests, especially the relationships between the five major families are not simple. Even if they don't see eye to eye with each other, for the sake of family interests, they must restrain themselves. You're good, I'm good, everyone's good.
Gu Wan Dao, Guan Feng and Lü Yuan's faces all changed slightly, their eyes revealing extreme unexpectedness, shock and strange gazes sweeping across Luo Qiu Shui and Zhao Ji's bodies, for a moment unsure what was happening.
As for Lu Yu, he was first shocked and then furious, with a flush of anger rising to his face, clearly on the verge of an outburst. But after being patted on the shoulder by Lü Yu, he forcibly suppressed it again.
At this moment, Zhao felt clearly that the last glance Lu Yu cast at him contained deep-seated malice and murderous intent, as if there was a hatred that cut to the bone.
