Chapter 1008: Chapter 56: The Wang Family’s "Harmful Trends" Sweep Through the Upper Capital (Part 4)

As for bullying the young, it’s rarely seen in the Upper Capital City. After all, young peers fighting each other is called messing around; even if one loses, it’s simply because they weren’t as skilled, not much to say.

But if the older bully the younger... doesn’t every household have elders? If things really get stirred up, it will be quite the spectacle.

At first, Wang Anan didn’t feel like playing with the little brats, especially Wang Anye. He felt that kid wasn’t very old, but sure was putting on airs.

But in less than half a day, he thought it was quite nice.

Because he discovered that Wang Anye had two not-so-good habits.

First, he liked to buy things in bundles, and everyone got a share.

Second, Wang Anye had a bad habit of randomly giving tips. Buying clothes required tips, seeing a beggar on the roadside required tips, hearing a few kind words also required tips.

Serving Little Seven, naturally, Wang Anan didn’t lack tips either. The more he was tipped, the harder he worked, and the harder he worked, the more tips he received.

Wang Anan happily found himself in a beneficial cycle, and naturally became more willing to run errands for Anye.

"Little Seven, feeling hungry? I’ll take you to the best restaurant in the Upper Capital City—Ten Thousand Dishes Tower. This meal is on me, Brother Anan." As his wallet swelled, Wang Anan’s confidence grew, patting his chest in a show of loyalty.

"Thank you, Brother Anan." Wang Anye slightly bowed in gratitude.

His character was appreciative by nature. Return kindness a hundredfold.

"Nephew Anan, isn’t that incorrect?" Wang Yingxuan wondered aloud, "I’ve heard the hottest restaurant now is called White Cloud Tower."

Mentioning White Cloud Tower made Wang Anan’s face dark as ink.

In that White Cloud Tower, he experienced two major social disasters in a short time, unbearable to recall.

The place had already become a lifelong nightmare for him.

"White Cloud Tower’s hype is all manipulation, using fame to raise dish prices, quite ruthless," Wang Anan argued, "We locals of Upper Capital City know it’s a scam, Prince Heng’s sword is too sharp."

"Forget it then," Wang Anye frowned, "Let’s try Ten Thousand Dishes Tower instead."

Although he wasn’t short on money, he didn’t like being seen as just a fat sheep to slaughter.

"Alright~ Little Seven, Aunt Yingxuan, Grandma Lilong, follow me," Wang Anan sighed in relief, having successfully evaded it.

Yet, before he could fully exhale.

Suddenly.

A clear and pleasant voice of a girl rang nearby: "Wang Anan, I’ll relay your exact words to Prince Heng later, see how he deals with you."

Wang Anan’s face paled as he inhaled cold air, looking towards the source: "You! Wu Xue Ning!"

"Call me Princess Xue Ning," the voice corrected with dissatisfaction.

Wang Xuan Ning, Wang Lilong, and Wang Anye followed Wang Anan’s gaze, noticing a remarkable girl.

The girl appeared only a couple of years older than Wang Anye and Wang Yingxuan, dressed in exquisite clothing, exuding a natural grace in every movement, yet with expressive features, making her appear not overbearing, but rather spirited and mischievous.

The visitor was none other than the renowned "Top Ten Outstanding Youth" of the Upper Capital City, ranked second, Wu Xue Ning.

Compared to a couple of years ago, she had grown significantly taller, with graceful curves, blossoming into a young beauty.

Not far behind her, a young man, emanating an intense yet stable aura, held a sword in his arms.

He was dressed in a blue gown, striking a handsome and impressive figure, his surroundings seemed to be encircled by a breeze, conveying a breezy and bright charm.

This young man was undoubtedly Wu Zhixing, dragged out by Wu Xue Ning.

At that moment, Wu Zhixing’s face appeared somewhat sour.

Accompanying the young lady on a shopping trip was already a tough assignment, yet now she’s creating trouble...

Why bother with Wang Anan’s bragging? What’s there to dispute?

I, Wu Zhixing, only wish for peaceful cultivation, why must it be so difficult?

"Hey, you kids, hmm, and that... dragon!" Wu Xue Ning said, "Don’t fall for Wang Anan’s trap, the dishes at Ten Thousand Dishes Tower are far inferior to White Cloud Tower’s."

"Little Seven, she’s biased towards White Cloud Tower’s owner since they’re from the Royal Race, no credibility, let’s go to Ten Thousand Dishes Tower," Wang Anan wanted to ignore Wu Xue Ning and pulled Wang Anye away.

"Hold on! Wang Anan, you only faced social death twice at White Cloud Tower, it’s your family’s Wang Liyao who didn’t save your face, why blame on White Cloud Tower?" Wu Xue Ning retorted with displeasure, "I don’t care where you eat but don’t slander White Cloud Tower."

"It has nothing to do with my Grandma Liyao," Wang Anan’s face darkened, "I just think White Cloud Tower’s dishes aren’t tasty. What, your Imperial Family is so impressive now? Open a restaurant and others can’t speak a word against it?"

The Daqian Wang Family has borne grievances for over three thousand years, claiming there’s no resentment towards the Imperial Family is impossible. Back then, the Wang’s Ancestor Dingxuan was Emperor Ziwei Xuandu’s right arm, conquering lands together.

"Hmph~ Fine, you have Wang Liyao supporting you now, your courage has grown. When I achieve success in cultivation, I will challenge Wang Liyao at White Cloud Tower again, then invite you to taste White Jade Tower’s dishes," Wu Xue Ning’s face showed some displeasure, crossing her arms and smirking coldly, "Then you’ll retract today’s words."

But as she finished speaking.

Wang Anan’s silent companion Wang Yingxuan was displeased, jumping in with arms akimbo to mock: "Hey hey~ who do you think you are? A tiny brat talking big without fear of biting your tongue."

"Although my Grandma Liyao’s skills are so-so, she’s not someone a wild brat like you can simply step on!"
