"Hey, what's with the way you're talking?"
"Either way, my big brother is the Imperial Pavilion Young Master, and you're all technically under him."
"At the end of the day, we're all on the same side. Is it really appropriate to talk like that?"
Da Huang might've been shameless and arrogant, but he wasn't stupid. He didn't have the slightest confidence in his ability to take on these people, especially since Chen Changan wasn't here.
He had no particular fondness for getting beaten up.
"Is it really appropriate for you to grin like such a sleazebag?" Huang Youdao said angrily.
"Uh... You've got a point."
"We're all family. Look at you—why make such a fuss?"
"How about I take you out for a good time after the Ancient Forbidden Land opens?"
"I guarantee you'll get your confidence back and be the most dashing guy around." Da Huang sidled up to Huang Youdao, waggling his eyebrows.
At Da Huang's words, Huang Youdao shot him a disdainful look. "I, Huang Youdao, would never go to a place like that."
"Holy crap, you know about that too?"
"Of course. We know what kind of person you are."
"Fine, then tell me—have you ever been or not?"
"Of course I haven't."
"Fine. If you've got the guts, come with me when the time comes. I guarantee you'll never want to leave. You'll never understand the taste of it unless you've been."
"You don't understand. I've been around. Listen to me, and you won't go wrong."
Everyone knew Da Huang was shameless, but they hadn't realized just how shameless he was. Today, Huang Youdao and the others had gotten a full taste of it.
Chen Changan had spent so much time hanging around Da Huang and still hadn't been led astray. That was truly remarkable.
