Chapter 1202 It's all fake, fake.
Shen Yanshu's surprise was actually Gu Xiu's surprise as well. However, he didn't find out from someone else. On the contrary, Fei Boyuan revealed Fei Boyuan's identity as the eldest son of the Duke of Wuwei after Gu Xiu and Fei Boyuan had a drinking contest.
However, the difference is...
"Let me tell you a secret, do you know why everyone outside respects me?"
"Because they all think that I will be the city lord of Wuwei City in the future, and many people have even heard the news that I am going to reconcile with my father."
Seeing Fei Boyuan's drunken and mysterious appearance, Gu Xiu cooperated by showing a puzzled look: "Isn't that right?"
Fei Boyuan burst into wild laughter:
"Hahaha! Of course not!"
"Fake, it's all fake!"
"Those idiots all want to get something out of me, but they don't even consider that my father has five sons, and none of them have ever really liked me. Why should they give me the position of city lord?"
"So...?" Gu Xiu asked.
Fei Boyuan chuckled: "So, actually, I arranged for someone to deliberately leak that information."
These words made Gu Xiu's eyelids twitch slightly.
Good guy.
high!
It’s really high!
Normally, someone with Fei Boyuan's status would be in a very awkward position, basically belonging to the category of a deposed crown prince, or even worse, because Fei Boyuan not only lost his position as crown prince, but was also expelled from the royal family.
Generally speaking, people like this tend to have pretty miserable lives.
While no one would actually dare to kill a prince who was practically expelled from the royal family, virtually no one would take him too seriously. After all, ordinary people couldn't afford to offend you, but powerful and influential families wouldn't care so much about your reputation.
If it were in Haoyu, it would be better. Even if he were stripped of his royal status, he could at least be given a fiefdom, live a life of debauchery in his own little place, far away from the center of power, and not encounter anyone of higher rank than himself.
However, the special nature of Ziwei Enclosure means that even though Fei Boyuan has been crippled, he can only stay obediently in the city. Not only is there a risk of life and death, but every day in the city, if he is not careful, he may encounter some people he cannot afford to offend. Cold ridicule may be the least of his worries.
But it's different when Fei Boyuan takes the initiative to release this information.
Those unaware of the truth dared not offend this hidden gem who could potentially succeed as the city lord at any moment.
Those who know the truth dare not provoke or offend them.
After all, emperors are unpredictable.
From the city lord's perspective, with such outrageous rumors circulating outside, anyone who believes them is definitely foolish. But if someone actually hears this news and still dares to offend that rebellious son, that would be foolishness upon foolishness, a challenge to the city lord's position.
So Fei Boyuan's success in doing so well is truly due to his own methods.
However, Gu Xiu quickly realized that something was wrong.
I only met Fei Boyuan today, how could he possibly tell me the news so easily?
Fei Boyuan clearly saw Gu Xiu's doubts and laughed, "Brother Gu, you've done me a great favor today and made me proud. I've seen your abilities. There's nothing wrong with telling you this secret. After all, we're brothers."
"Thank you for your high regard, Officer Fei. I will risk my life for you, Officer Fei!" Gu Xiu hurriedly raised his wine glass, his face full of gratitude.
"Hahaha, good! We're all brothers!" Fei Boyuan immediately burst into laughter: "Brothers, fill your glasses, let's welcome Brother Gu to our team!"
"Dry!"
"drink!"
The table became lively again. Fei Boyuan certainly didn't seem like the son of a city lord. Between toasts and drinks, he even talked with everyone about which girl was pretty and which lady was alluring, making everyone at the table laugh frequently.
Gu Xiu didn't do anything special, having the women around him pour him wine and feed him, but he didn't take any further action, which was in line with his persona as a country bumpkin who had just arrived.
However, throughout the banquet, Gu Xiu remained wary.
The one they were wary of was Fei Boyuan.
This person is definitely not simple. It seems that he was trying to win him over by revealing those information, but Gu Xiu felt even more strongly that he was actually trying to mislead him. Moreover, he must have told more than just him about deliberately fabricating false information. It may seem like a foolish act, but it's not actually that simple.
After all, if a rumor-monger openly admits that he deliberately spread those rumors, it's actually easier for people to figure him out.
What if the rumors are true?
Who dares to bet?
Whether what he said is true or false, at least this person is definitely not what he portrays.
Fortunately, Fei Boyuan seemed to be really going to play along. He did almost nothing productive all night except eat, drink and chat about women. He didn't even mention the Origin Fruit and the Heavenly City Wall to Gu Xiu.
After a hearty meal and drinks, many men stayed overnight with the beautiful women on the spot.
Fei Boyuan also tried to give Gu Xiu two women, both said to be top-tier beauties, but Gu Xiu refused them. His reason was perfectly valid: he was practicing the Pure Yang method and could not lose his virginity before reaching the Nascent Soul stage. This reason was impeccable.
"Brother Gu, I'll say it again: in Wuwei City, I'll protect you!"
As they parted, Fei Boyuan, drunk, put his arm around Gu Xiu and said, "Don't pay any attention to that damn Young Master Shen who came to see you today. What kind of class does he have? He dares to use a maid to chat you up. Who does he think he is!"
These words seemed like drunken ramblings, but Gu Xiu noticed that Shen Yanshu, who had been staring at him from a distance, had a noticeably gloomy expression.
This is definitely not drunken talk.
Although he didn't know what Fei Boyuan was up to, since the other party had said so, Gu Xiu naturally took over the conversation, immediately blushing and patting his chest as he said:
"Don't worry, Officer Fei, I'll listen to you from now on!"
"As for the others..."
"No matter who they are, they all have to step aside!"
Gu Xiu clearly saw that Shen Yanshu's already gloomy face turned even more ashen, but he didn't care. Fei Boyuan had handed him the tiger skin, so he definitely had to make good use of it.
The two exchanged a few more words before drunkenly preparing to say goodbye.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, with a loud crash, the second-floor railing was suddenly broken by a figure that flew backward.
The man was dressed in magnificent brocade robes, clearly of high status. He seemed to have been kicked out unexpectedly. After landing, two figures rushed to catch him, preventing him from falling flat on his face. However, he still lost face in front of everyone.
Gu Xiu was also curious, and upon closer inspection, he discovered...
Oh, it's someone I know.
This was Fang Suming, another young master whom Gu Xiu had dealt with before, and one of the people supporting him was Bai Ge, who had fought with Gu Xiu before. Bai Ge helped Fang Suming up, and without waiting for the other party to give an order, he took a step back upstairs, clearly intending to get revenge for his master.
For a time, the battle on the second floor was fierce, with loud bangs echoing everywhere.
They have to blow up the railings every now and then.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I never thought I'd run into this drama while drinking with courtesans, how interesting! I remember this kid has quite a background, but I didn't expect him to be knocked down. Could it be that those young masters were fighting over a girl?" Fei Boyuan suddenly perked up.
Gu Xiu was worried that he didn't know much about divine abilities, so he was eager to learn more. He didn't rush to leave and even took out a handful of melon seeds to crack open.
The only downside was that because we were on a different floor, we couldn't see the specific details of the fight.
But soon, Gu Xiu felt that the melon seeds in his hand no longer tasted good.
Because he heard a familiar voice:
"Hehehe, you cowardly little shrimp, you dare to come and court death in front of Master Sui?"
"Let's see how I, Master Sui, teach you today..."
"What is masculinity!"
