Chapter One: Xiao Fan

  "Gentlemen, today is a great day for Xiang Rou's debut. Xiang Rou said that whoever can answer her three questions will become her honored guest."

  "Good."

  "What's the matter, spit it out quickly, don't waste any more time."

  "Indeed, every moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold!"

  As soon as the words of the owner of Wanhualou fell, a burst of laughter erupted in the hall.

  Here, the most famous red building in Xuan Shan City, 'Wan Hua Lou', today is the day when Wan Hua Lou's top courtesan, Xiang Rou, comes out. Almost all the nobles in Xuan Shan City are present.

  Among them, the most dazzling ones are the young masters of the major families in Xuanshan City. At this moment, these young men, dressed in bright clothes, are sitting in the front row of the VIP seats in the grand hall, shaking their fans and drinking fine wine, with a look of expectation on their faces.

  Among them, the most dazzling one is the table sitting in the center.

  There are only two people sitting at this table. The faces of the two people on the table are two extremes, and they can be remembered by looking at them.

  The person sitting on the right, round and plump, was a big ball of meat. If you didn't walk closer to take a good look, it would be hard to tell that he was even human; this man was none other than Tang's eldest son, Tang Long.

  Across from Tang Long sat a person with skin as white as snow, a face with a hint of pale sickness, a slender figure, high-arched sword-like eyebrows, and a delicate face that seemed to have been carved by a knife, enough to make countless young girls infatuated and sleepless at night.

  This man was none other than Xiao Fang, the second young master of the City Lord's Manor.

  Xiao Fan and Tang Long, two extremes. One is so scary that he can frighten children just by walking on the street, while the other has a handsome appearance that can keep young girls awake at night with romantic thoughts. The combination of the two is extremely mismatched, yet both are unforgettable at first sight.

  "Second Brother, this Wan Hua Lou has hidden Xiang Rou deeply enough. We two brothers haven't even got a single piece of news." Tang Long said to Xiao Fan while drinking wine in big gulps.

  Xiao Fan heard this and smiled slightly, elegantly taking a small sip of wine. With a 'pa' sound, he opened his folding fan and gently swayed it back and forth, laughing as he said: "This young master is actually quite interested in the top courtesan here, for the first time she's not asking for money but instead wants to ask three questions, how interesting, how interesting."

  As he spoke, Xiao Fan took another sip of wine, savoring the flavor, and couldn't help but secretly lament in his heart: When had it been that he was still a prodigy at Huaxia University, never expecting to be transported to this world due to a car accident, and possessing the body of this young master with the same name as him.

  Three months ago, Xiao Fan was still a senior at Huaxia University. He had a bright future ahead of him, but on his way to a job interview, he saved a little girl who almost got into an accident and lost his own life in the process.

  The wonders of heaven and earth, no one can understand. After Xiao Fan's car accident, his soul did not disperse, nor did he enter the legendary hell, but instead crossed over to another world and successfully possessed the body of a young master who had died from excessive indulgence in lust, becoming a new generation of young master.

  For three months, Xiao Fan had more or less understood this world.

  This world is called the Vast Expanse of Wilderness. According to the records in the books, the Vast Expanse of Wilderness is boundless and endless, with no one able to explore its extent.

  Xiao Fan was in a remote small town called 'Xuanshan City' within the Eastern Wilderness.

  The Grand World of the Wilderness is a world for cultivators, where all ethnic groups coexist. Apart from humans, there are also various spiritual creatures and different races, with both cooperation and competition and conflict.

  In this world, everyone is a cultivator, from the highest nine-five nobles to ordinary civilians, all are cultivators.

  Thus, the strong are revered, this is an unchanging law of the world.

  However, what made Xiao Fan depressed was that the body he possessed couldn't cultivate at all since birth, and was a legendary waste.

  Why is he said to be a legendary waste? Because in the vast world of Arang, there are good and bad qualities, but someone who can't cultivate even a little bit is really pitiful, almost becoming a legendary creature.

  Unfortunately, Xiao Fan was indeed the legendary one in ten thousand who could not cultivate and was a waste.

  Fortunately, Xiao Fan was born with a good family background, being the second young master of the Lord of Xuan Shan City, and had the protection of his noble birth. Although he couldn't cultivate, he lived a carefree life, and in the past, Xiao Fan was also the most famous young master of Xuan Shan City.

  Having been in this world for three months, experiencing confusion and helplessness. Xiao Fan locked himself at home, using every possible means to understand the news of this world; Three months without seeing outsiders, today, because of the debut of the top card of Wan Hua Lou, Xiao Fan was found by his only sworn brother Tang Long and brought here.

  "Second Young Master, why are you spacing out again?" Tang Long's plump and large palm waved in front of Xiao Fan.

  Xiao Fan used a folding fan to brush away Tang Long's large hand, raised his head and looked up at the high platform above. At this moment, a banner slid down from the second floor, with the words "Spring Arrives on Earth, Hundred Flowers Bloom".

  "Gentlemen, my young lady's first question is to come up with a matching couplet; those who can come up with a matching couplet may go upstairs to answer the second question." The speaker was a little girl with braids, looking delicate and lovely.

  "This little girl is quite good-looking." Tang Baozi rubbed his mouth corner, looking at the little girl on stage with a lewd expression.

  "I say, Tang Baozi, you look quite special, and your hobbies are indeed different from others, haha!" Upon hearing Tang Long's words, a young gentleman at the next table burst out laughing.

  "Haha, Lin brother you really love joking, with his build, that little girl would be crushed to a pulp by him, what's the use of him liking her."

  That is.

  After the young master's words fell, several masters at the same table as him all echoed and burst out laughing, ruthlessly striking Tang Long.

  "Lin Jianren, you bastard, are you looking for death?" Tang Long's face turned red with rage as he gritted his teeth and cursed.

  That young man was a member of the Lin family, one of the three major families in Xuanshan City. He had been opposing Tang Long all day long and now he jumped out to make trouble. In front of so many people, he was humiliated like this, Tang Long wished he could roll up his sleeves and rush over to beat him up.

  "Hey, fatty's gone mad." Lin Jianren sneered, completely unfazed by Tang Long's furious gaze that seemed to be on the verge of killing him.

  "You're looking for a fight." Tang Long roared in anger, standing up and grabbing the chair to throw at Lin Jianren.

  "The" chair was pushed away by Lin Jianren, and several people at the table stood up, looking at Tang Long with ferocious faces: "Tang Pangzi, don't think that this young master is afraid of you, you're asking for death."

  "Gentlemen, please do not fight here. Today is Xiang Rou's big day, so I beg of you, do not resort to violence." Seeing the tense atmosphere on this side, the owner of the Wan Hua Lou hurried over to mediate. This was his territory, after all. If these young masters were to engage in a brawl here, regardless of who got hurt, he would be unable to bear the responsibility.

  "Hmph, I'll let you off this time because of Xiang Rou's face." Lin Jianren coldly smiled and sat back down, but couldn't help being curious about the silent and motionless Xiao Fan, thinking to himself that this guy must be plotting something, or else why would he be so quiet.

  "Don't let me see you again next time." Tang Long responded fearlessly, but also didn't continue to take action.

  Xiao Fan looked at Lin Jianren with a thoughtful expression, and a faint smile floated on his lips.

  "Second Brother, what's wrong with you today? Why didn't you help your brother out? The two of us brothers joining forces could have beaten those bastards from Lin Jianren to death." Tang Long looked at Xiao Fan, who was smiling, with some dissatisfaction.

  Xiao Fan smiled: "Fatty, it's not that I won't help you because you're my brother, but rather because I think it's beneath us to talk to that kind of beast. We're human beings, and if a dog bites us, we can't bite back at the dog in revenge."

  "Ah, Second Young Master has indeed spoken the truth. Those few dogs are barking wildly, we'll just ignore them." Tang Long heard this and also burst out laughing loudly, feeling a sense of enlightenment, this is the Xiao Er Shao I know.

  "Xiao Fan, don't show off your eloquence here. We won't resort to violence with someone as weak as you. If you have the guts, let's compete and see who can answer Xiang Rou's three questions and become her trusted advisor." Lin Jianren had some reservations about Xiao Fan's identity and didn't dare to scold him loudly like he did with Tang Long.

  "You want to compete with me, haha." Xiao Fan couldn't help but laugh out loud; this Lin Jianren was quite clever and knew how to use provocative tactics.

  If it were the old Xiao Fan, he would have fallen for this trick immediately. The old Xiao Fan was uneducated and uncouth, a complete super spoiled brat. If he had competed with Lin Jianren, he would have definitely lost.

  "Why should I compare with you? What makes you think you're better than me?" Xiao Fan said with a scornful smile.
