School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master

While Chen Nan was deep in thought, Tao Muxue asked, “I’ve always wanted to ask you something, Mr. Chen, but I was worried it might be a bit abrupt. I’m not sure if I should speak.”
Chen Nan furrowed his brow slightly, then smiled and said, “Feel free to speak your mind.”
“What happened today in broad daylight, many people witnessed it firsthand. Muxue is somewhat curious, what is Mr. Chen’s relationship with the Kuang Clan?”
Chen Nan knew well that after today’s events, everyone in Genius City would probably be curious about his identity. After all, with the Kuang Clan’s protection, it would be hard not to be curious.
Seeing Chen Nan silent for a while, Tao Muxue quickly said, “I’m sorry for being presumptuous, Mr. Chen, please don’t mind.”
“You’ve overstated it, miss.” Chen Nan smiled and replied.
Noticing the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Tao Zui took out a jug of wine from his storage ring and said, “I’ve been a wine lover all my life. If I don’t drink for a while, it’s like my throat is reaching out. I feel like having a few sips now, so please, Brother Chen, don’t mind.”
“Hold on.”
Chen Nan reached out with his hand, and two large bowls flew over from a distance.
He set the bowls on the table in front of him and said, “Although the wine isn’t opened, I can already smell its fragrance. Brother Tao, you wouldn’t mind if I join you for a few drinks, would you?”
“Brother Chen, you’re straightforward indeed. Drinking alone is really boring. Since you’re also a wine lover, if you’d like to drink and discuss the Tao, how does that sound?” Tao Zui filled two bowls with wine and set the jug down.
Chen Nan picked up a bowl of wine: “I’d love to, please.”
After drinking a bowl, Chen Nan furrowed his brow slightly. The alcohol in the Tao Realm is just too weak; it can’t compare with the wine of the Mortal World!
But then again, the strength of the wine is greatly related to the brewing technology and distillation equipment.
Just like the wines from ancient times in the Mortal World, they were all low in alcohol content until modern industry developed, and the strength of wine gradually increased. As for the current Tao Realm, it’s like the ancient Mortal World, where industry hasn’t developed at all, and the brewing equipment is extremely primitive.
Seeing Chen Nan frowning, Tao Zui asked, “What’s wrong, Brother Chen? Does the wine not suit your taste?”
“The wine is great, very fragrant and mellow, it’s just not strong enough,” Chen Nan said, putting down the bowl.
Tao Zui asked curiously, “This is already the strongest wine we have. Could it be, Brother Chen, that you’ve had something even stronger?”
“Indeed, there is something stronger,” Chen Nan nodded.
Hearing this, Tao Zui became excited and quickly asked, “Do you have any on you, Brother Chen?”
In Chen Nan’s storage ring, whether it’s clothing, wine, or other daily necessities, he has everything he needs, even an atomic bomb…
Chen Nan smiled and took out a bottle of Moutai, opening the cap, and the aroma immediately filled the air. The rich and intense wine fragrance was much stronger than the wine Tao Zui had before.
Smelling this aroma, Tao Zui couldn’t remain calm and grabbed a bowl, saying, “The aroma is amazing, Brother Chen, please pour a bowl for me to try.”
Chen Nan smiled and poured him a bowl, then poured one for himself as well.
After downing this bowl, Tao Zui’s expression could only be described as his name, truly looking utterly enchanted: “Good wine, good wine! I’ve never had such fragrant and mellow wine in my life! Brother Chen, where did you buy this wine?”
“Well… I’m afraid you can’t buy it anywhere in the Tao Realm,” Chen Nan said, putting down the bowl.
Tao Zui was stunned: “What do you mean?”
“I obtained this wine from an Ancient Immortal relic, and since it was well preserved, it didn’t spoil. But the secret brewing recipe for this wine is probably long lost,” Chen Nan explained.
Tao Zui looked a bit disappointed, then asked, “Brother Chen, how much of this wine do you have left, and could you sell me some?”
“We hit it off right away, calling it selling is too formal. As the saying goes, ‘Thousand cups of wine with a confidant is still too few.’ Today, let’s have Tao have his fill, and drink until we’re drunk!” Chen Nan said cheerfully, taking out a few more bottles and placing them on the table.
Tao Zui gulped down his saliva, his eyes nearly popping out of his head.
He grabbed the wine bottles and poured two bowls, then said to Tao Muxue beside him, “Muxue, perform a swordsmanship routine here in the hall to liven up Brother Chen’s drinking. After all, Brother Chen is a close combat expert, he can even give you some pointers on your sword moves.”
Tao Muxue stood up, cupped her fists and said, “I appreciate your guidance, Mr. Chen.”
“You’re too polite, Miss Muxue…”
Before Chen Nan could finish speaking, the Black Feathered Chicken, which had been neglected on the side, fluttered its wings and rushed over: “You scoundrels, you drink here without even inviting Lord Chicken!”
Chen Nan was speechless, he really had forgotten about this creature.
It was only now that Tao Zui noticed the Black Feathered Chicken. After all, it had transformed into a little chick and with its black feathers, it wasn’t very noticeable.
“This chicken brother, you must be the one who pecked… taught Zhao Rong a lesson during the day, right?” Tao Zui asked.
“Good eye, indeed it’s Lord Chicken!”
The Black Feathered Chicken puffed out its chest, looking quite smug.
For such a chicken, Tao Zui couldn’t help but take a few extra glances. He had seen many Demon Beasts, but it’s the first time he’s seen one so boldly claiming to be a lord with such a roguish air.
They drank and chatted happily until the middle of the night, when Tao Zui and his sister finally bid farewell and left, as they were staying at the East Mansion of this large courtyard.
…
The next morning, the Genius Conference’s martial arts competition officially began.
In Genius City, there were venues set in four directions: east, west, south, and north. People were divided based on age under twenty to separate the participants.
Early in the morning, Yun Chen came to Chen Nan’s place, saying he was worried Chen Nan wouldn’t find his way, so he came to lead him to the competition venue.
The venue for those aged twenty to thirty-nine was set in the west of the city. When Chen Nan arrived at the venue, several hundred people had already gathered.
“So many people?” Chen Nan asked.
Yun Chen shook his head and explained, “Of course not. The Kuang Clan’s Genius Conference isn’t open to just anyone. For this age group, only fifty are competing. The rest are just here to watch. The rule is a one-on-one match, and out of these fifty people, half will be eliminated today.”
Chen Nan laughed and said, “I hope to see you in the final match.”
“As long as you make it to the end, I won’t have any problems,” Yun Chen replied confidently.
While they were chatting and boasting, the competition had already started. A Kuang Clan elder stood on stage, calling out the names of the first pair of contestants, and to Chen Nan’s surprise, both were people he knew.
The jovial Tao Zui from last night’s drinking, looking graceful in white with a folding fan waving, besides the face, he bore no resemblance to Zhao Han.
And the other, surprisingly, was Zhao Rong, whose face had been pecked swollen by the Black Feathered Chicken yesterday.
Despite having rested for a whole night, Zhao Rong’s face was still swollen, making many in the know burst into laughter.
A master of Earth Penetrating Nine Heavens, pecked by a rooster not yet fully transformed into human form to such a state, it’s hard not to laugh!
