I'm Clinging to Zhou Wanwan's Coattails for Good

Cheng Xiao jumped up excitedly and asked, "What? You said you won how much silver?"

Cheng Chao sighed and said:

"One million taels of silver, so I'm telling you, I now enjoy being Zhou Wanwan's dog, and I'm only fit to be her slave."

You mustn't have any other thoughts! If you dare to take a concubine, I'll kill myself!

Cheng Xiao cursed angrily:

"You little brat, are you crazy or am I crazy?"

I, the son of a high-ranking official of the imperial court, am forced to become a slave to a bandit.

If people find out, what will become of my reputation?

Cheng Chao glanced at him indifferently and said:

I don't know if you have any shame, but I definitely do.

I'm determined to latch onto Zhou Wanwan; anyone who tries to stop me will face my wrath.

By the way, I bought my own courtyard house. It's so much more convenient to live here by myself. Don't bother arranging any wives for me.

"Right now, I'm only interested in being a lackey; I have no interest in anything else."

After saying that, Cheng Chao turned and left.

Cheng Xiao angrily shouted, "You unfilial son, you unfilial brat! If you're so capable, then don't come back!"

Feng Caigu cried uncontrollably.

"That bastard, is he blind?"

If she's set her sights on a bandit, what kind of good person could Zhou Wanwan be?

I'm being made a slave for someone else. I went through so much trouble to give birth to a slave for them, why should I?

Cheng Xiao glared at her and said:

"Cry, cry, cry, what are you crying about?"

"That's incredibly unlucky. You'd be better off spending this time disciplining your son!"

Feng Caigu wiped away her tears and said, "Is this something I can control? Why don't you go and take care of it?"

Cheng Xiao snorted coldly:

Did you not give birth to him properly, or did you misshapen him?

Look at him, his studies are a complete mess now.

He can't even choose a master. I told him to choose Xie Cheng'en Noble Consort Ning's backing, and he'll become a high-ranking official in the capital sooner or later.

But he chose a petty bandit, and now my colleagues are laughing at me to death.

I'm so angry! It seems I can't keep this son; he's as stupid as a pig! As stupid as a pig!

After Cheng Xiao left, Feng Caigu cried uncontrollably.

"Waaaaah... Why is my life so miserable?"

I finally managed to keep this one wretched child in our Cheng Family, but he just wants to drive me crazy!

The old woman beside her sighed and said:

"Madam, don't be angry with the young master. He's just young and hot-blooded."

However, I think the Cheng Family should have more descendants.

"Why don't you choose two obedient and well-behaved maids for the master? If they really have children, you can raise them yourself."

Feng Caigu's expression changed immediately:

"You want me to take a concubine for him? Absolutely not."

Why should I let him take a concubine? He already has three concubines in his harem."

The old woman sighed and said:

"But I heard that the master has also made a confidante outside."

I advise you to take him two concubines, otherwise you won't be able to keep the master's heart."

Feng Caigu asked in a panic, "He has another mistress outside? He's already taken three concubines, what is he trying to do?"

Feng Caigu is not having a good time now; she had always thought that Cheng Xiao loved her.

But once she entered the Lu Family and became his legal wife, she gradually came to understand that this man was selfish, cold-hearted, and utterly heartless.

No more than six months after their marriage, he took three concubines in succession, favoring one today and doting on another tomorrow, leaving his legal wife neglected and practically invisible.

He never consulted her on matters big or small in the household; if she was wronged, he would only blame her for being immature and lacking generosity.

She worked hard for the Lu Family, followed the rules, and fulfilled her duties, yet he actually complained that she was inferior to Feng Jiao in every way.

Cheng Chao looked at Zhou Qingzhou and said, "Don't come tomorrow. Call Zhou Qingyuan here."

Zhou Qingzhou knelt down and said, "Young Master, I've been your study companion all this time, you can't abandon me!"

Cheng Chao looked at him with a half-smile and said:

Those who know you might think you're my study companion, but those who don't might think you're my dad's study companion!

Over the years, you have indeed been by my side, but my father knows about the slightest thing that happens immediately.

You know perfectly well who's behind this.

Zhou Qingzhou cried out, "Young Master, I'm doing this for your own good. I'm afraid you'll go astray!"

"Really? Zhou Qingzhou, are you the master or am I the master?"

With your behavior, you would have been beaten to death in other people's homes.

"Alright, get out of here!" Cheng Chao was never one to have a good temper.

Zhou Qingyuan arrived quickly, and Zhou Qingzhou, his eyes red with anger, got up and went back.

Zhou Qingyuan was much more obedient and intelligent than Zhou Qingzhou.

As soon as Zhou Qingzhou got back, he burst into tears. "Father, Mother, I can't be your study companion anymore, Zhou Qingyuan will be your study companion."

Zhou Qingzhou was paid five taels of silver a month for being a tutor, so he was quite upset.

Qian Huihui sighed and said, "What did you do to upset the young master?"

Zhou Qingzhou recounted the whole story, saying, "He actually wanted to be Zhou Wanwan's servant? He might be willing, but I'm not! Someone like Zhou Wanwan doesn't even deserve it."

Qian Huihui raised an eyebrow and said:

"I never expected Cheng Chao to be so reckless. Is he mentally unstable?"

No young master would act so irrationally as him, fawning over some girl.

He even publicly admitted to being Zhou Wanwan's lackey. Isn't that contradicting himself?

No one knew what Cheng Chao was thinking, including Zhou Qingyuan, who also thought Cheng Chao was strange.

It won't delay anything; he's obedient!

Zhou Wanwan couldn't stay idle after resting at home for a night. She looked at the old man next to her and said, "Iron Crutch Li, you're much better now. Why don't we go and visit the Jianghu Alliance you mentioned?"

Iron Crutch Li nodded and said, "Of course, let's set off now!"

There are more than sixty Jianghu Alliance in the martial arts world, specifically established for masters on the Earth Ranking and the Human Ranking.

There are several thousand experts on the Earth Ranking, each one a top master in the martial arts world.

The Human Ranking top experts is even larger, numbering over 100,000, spread across the country.

With so many experts scattered across different places, it's inconvenient to contact them, accept tasks, discuss rankings, or allocate resources.

That's why these Jianghu Alliance were established, specifically to manage and connect the top experts on the Earth Ranking and the Human Ranking.

Various Jianghu Alliance regularly issue all sorts of tasks, orders, bounties, and messages.

Examples include hunting down villains, escorting treasures, exploring secret realms, and vying for territory.

Skilled players can accept quests, earn rewards, compete for rankings, and enhance their reputation within the Jianghu Alliance. They can also spar and exchange martial arts techniques with each other through the Jianghu Alliance.

Before long, the Old Scholar Tree led them to the location of the Jianghu Alliance.

Zhou Wanwan blinked and said, "This Jianghu Alliance is quite unique! The entrance is actually an ancient tomb!"
