“Lord Kai, Lord Chen . Congratulations for being able to take this beauty back home with you!” The scholar Chen Ju congratulated the two when he saw the old woman bring the barbarian princess over . He looked at the barbarian princess with interest . As people of the same flock usually group together, it is not strange for him to have the same preference as the Huang brothers . However, he knows his place and did not go against the Huang brothers . While he had an enviable identity as a student of the Lumen Academy, it was nothing to the Huang brothers . Chen Ju managed to obtain a possibility of becoming an official with great difficulty while the Huang brothers could easily obtain a very high position as long as they make any serious mistakes .
“Haha . There is nothing to congratulate us about . Don’t you also have a beautiful woman accompanying you?” Huang Chen laughed in reply . Chen Ju’s compliment to the two of them made him feel good as Chen Ju was a gifted scholar . Naturally, there was a price for inviting Chen Ju to fight for them . Chen Ju was allowed to pick two women out of the five women they bought earlier . Any two of the women would still total up to a few hundred gold . Even if Chen Ju could not obtain the barbarian princess, he was still very satisfied . This was why he complimented them in response .
“Lord Huangs . Will the two of you pay now or send the money over in two days?” The old woman asked with a smile . The total was four thousand and seven hundred gold . It may not be a figure that they could pay immediately so a timeframe of two days was given .
“No need! Brother Chen . We will be relying on you!” Huang Chen waved his hands .
“Oh . Is Lord Chen Ju paying?” The old woman asked happily . Of course, it would be better to receive the money immediately . However, she was also a bit puzzled . While Chen Ju was a frequent visitor and was even talented enough to be invited by this very brothel to write a poem, they never heard that he was rich . In fact, the women at the brothel had to occasionally give him material assistance .
“Brother Chen Ju will not be the one paying but Kuai Ran and Wang Shu from Sky 14!” Huang Chen said with a laugh . “Old woman . We want to compete talent! Brother Chen Ju will be our representative!”
“We will be troubling you to deliver our challenge to them . ” Chen Ju spoke respectfully and elegantly . There had not been a talent competition during the sweet feast for years . The reason for this is because the losing side ends up becoming too pitiful . They had to pay for those that publicly humiliated them . On top of that, they were not allowed to decline the challenge . Those that decline the challenge will either have to pay for the challenger or be labelled a coward . They would also be blacklisted from every brothel in Jingzhou .
“Ah . ” The old woman was stunned . “You want to compete talents?”
“Whats wrong? Did the brothel stop practicing this?” There was a huge difference between those that are talented and those that are rich . The brothel caters to both but especially to people with those types of preferences . Some were rich but had no talent while some had talent but were poor . The talented were admired while the rich could have been born into money . One of the features of the brothel was to allow the talented to get the women instead of the rich .
“Of course not . ” The old woman quickly replied . If the brothel declared that they only want customers with money and not customers with talent, they would be no different from other brothels . How then would they remain at the peak?
“Then go quickly! Today, a gifted scholar will appear in your brothel!” Huang Chen spoke in such high spirits as though he was the scholar in question .
“You cannot compete!” The old woman replied while shaking her head instead of going off to make preparations like Huang Chen had expected her to do .
“Why not? Is Kuai Ran afraid? If so, he should pay for us and we will let him off!” Kuai Ran and Wang Shu would lose either way . If Kuai Ran and Wang Shu were to compete, Chen Ju was there to defeat them . If they decline the challenge, they forfeit and had to pay the four thousand seven hundred gold as well . Even if Kuai Ran somehow escapes, Wang Shu was dead .
“No . It is not that Lord Kuai Ran and Lord Wang Shu are afraid . They are simply no longer in Sky 14 . ”
“They are not in Sky 14? What do you mean?”
“They had already left . ”
“What? They had already left?” Huang Kai and Huang Chen were stunned .

The Huang brothers were flabbergasted . If the opponents had already left, how were they going to compete? Who is going to watch? They weren’t cowardly, nor did they lose . They were simply absent . They had plotted for so long and even bought so many women for a high price with the purpose of forcing that payment on both Kuai Ran and Wang Shu . Now that Kuai Ran and Wang Shu had gone missing, the Huang brothers had to pay the four thousand and seven hundred gold . On top of that, they can’t be in debt to the brothel as the master of this brothel was someone they had to pay respects to .
“Brother Huang . Are we still competing?” Chen Ju asked innocently . This whole time, he had only been thinking about his two beautiful women .
“Compete! Compete your head!” Huang Chen’s anger soared and slapped Chen Ju .
“You! Why did you hit me?” Chen Ju was stunned
“So what if I hit you? You are just a poor loser! You have no money and yet you go and study and walk into brothels! So what if I hit you? I don’t want to just hit you, I want to kill you!” All of Huang Chen’s frustration and anger caused by Liu Mang and Zhang Li had been thrown onto Chen Ju .
Chen Ju was just a scholar . How was he supposed to fight against a third grade warrior like Huang Chen? Huang Chen released his anger and fear by beating up the pitiful Chen Ju .
“You! Huan Cen! Renenver dis! I wirr revort you! How dare you hit ne? I an a dishaiver oh the Runen Akadeny2” Chen Ju shouted . His face was beaten up so badly that even speaking was a difficulty .
“You want to report me? Come! I want to see where you are going to go to report me!” Huang Chen beat up Chen Ju even harder . Chen Ju could only wail in anguish .
“Enough!” Huang Kai shouted . They were very unlucky that day . They were first called a coward by Wang Shu and then they ended up shooting themselves in the foot when they tried to take revenge .
Huang Kai stopped Huang Chen not because he was afraid of Chen Ju . Chen Ju was just a student of the Lumen Academy . He was talented but he was also poor . Beating up Chen Ju was one matter . Nobody would come after the Huang Family because they had status . On the other hand, if Chen Ju were to be beaten to death, they would not be able to cover this up . The Pang Family would step forward as the representative of the Lumen Academy and then the situation would only get worse for them .

“Hmph! Go! Consider yourself lucky!”
“You! I wirr not vorget dis!” Chen Ju stood back up as he glared at Huang Chen hatefully .
“Oh! So you still want to fight?” Huang Chen saw that Chen Ju was unsatisfied and moved forward to beat him up again . Chen Ju was so scared he immediately ran away, sprinting faster than the champions of the 100 meter races . He did not look like a person that was just beaten up .
“I will not forget this!3” Chen Ju shouted again as he frantically escaped from the room .
“Sir . Is something wrong?” A dissatisfied voice asked . Chen Ju had bumped into a woman from the brothel as he staggered out of the room . “Eh? Aren’t you Mister Chen Ju?”
“I am not Chen Ju! I am not Chen Ju!” Chen Ju did not want to be recognized with that current appearance . He wanted to only be seen in his graceful and elegant appearance .
If Chen Ju had not say anything, the woman would not care . However, Chen Ju’s denial immediately confirmed that he was Chen Ju . “Mister Chen Ju . What’s wrong? Who beat you up until like this?” The woman felt sorry for Chen Ju . She stepped forward and wanted to wipe the blood from his face with her handkerchief . However, she was suddenly pushed away . The moment she regained her balance, Chen Ju had already ran away .
“Huang Chen! Huang Kai! I won’t be a person of noble character if I don’t take revenge for this!” Chen Ju spoke hatefully .

Chen Ju’s words meant nothing to the Huang brothers as they had enough trouble protecting themselves .
“Lord Huangs . Don’t tell me you don’t have the money to pay for her?” The old woman’s tone turned cold . The brothel was heaven to paying customers but hell to those that don’t pay .
Hearing those words, Huang Kai softly asked . “Old woman . Is it possible for us to not want the barbarian princess anymore?”
“Nope . ” The old woman rejected their pleas .

1 . The first sentence described how shocked Huang Chen and Huang Kai were when they found out that Liu Mang was no longer around . Cue sudden flashback . So I just removed the first sentence .
2 . It was also ‘messed up’ in the raws . Here is the human spelling one . “You! Huang Chen! Remember this! I will report you! How dare you hit me? I am a disciple of the Lumen Academy!”
3 . And, he can suddenly speak very well . At least I don’t have to purposely butcher my spelling anymore .
