Chapter 231: Solving the Problem

Along the way, Zhu Gaoxu was extremely cautious, and in the end, he managed to follow the other person to their residence without any mishaps.

The only pity was that the person was wearing a face veil, so Zhu Gaoxu could not see the face opposite him.

However, he was not worried.

Although he could not see, he had already memorized the person's figure and residence; if he went to wander by their door tomorrow, he should be able to see them.

Thinking this, the corners of Zhu Gaoxu's mouth lifted, and he turned around to return to his own room.

He lay down to sleep.

When the sky brightened, Zhu Gaoxu opened his eyes and walked out.

He did not wander around the courtyard like yesterday; it was still a bit early, and not many people had come out.

There were a few martial artists out practicing some moves, but the number was not large.

Zhu Gaoxu did not stay here long, but instead walked toward the kitchen.

Do not forget, he was a "freeloader" and had no official status.

Naturally, no one would bring him food.

And he certainly could not go hungry without eating.

So he could only fend for himself; with no other choice, Zhu Gaoxu had to go to the kitchen himself to find something to eat.

The kitchen was not hard to find, and ten minutes later, Zhu Gaoxu was already eating inside the kitchen.

At this time, a disciple of Cangjian Villa came to deliver food to those guests.

He saw Zhu Gaoxu squatting in the corner, eating a steamed bun in large bites.

His mouth and hands were covered in grease, and afterward, he even picked up a bowl of millet porridge and drank it in large gulps.

This scene made that Cangjian Villa disciple frown.

He thought Zhu Gaoxu was the child of some cook who had been brought here.

Thinking this, the disciple came before Zhu Gaoxu.

Looking down from above, he asked, "Kid, who is your father? Who let you eat the food meant for guests?"

Zhu Gaoxu kept his disguised identity firmly in mind.

If discovered, he would insist that he was the son of those martial artists.

Therefore, he was naturally a guest.

This Cangjian Villa disciple had clearly mistaken his identity.

Thinking this, Zhu Gaoxu stood straight up, first touched the jade pendant at his waist, and finally pointed at the other person with a greasy little finger and cursed: "You think you're worthy of knowing my father's name? Since your Cangjian Villa bullies people like this, it seems you aren't worth helping. I'm going to find my father right now and tell him your Cangjian Villa wants to starve me to death!"

Saying this, Zhu Gaoxu made a show of walking outside.

At this moment, the Cangjian Villa disciple also saw Zhu Gaoxu's attire.

That set of clothes did not look like anything a cook could afford, no matter how one looked at it.

As the saying goes, Buddha relies on gold leaf and people rely on fine clothes; Zhu Gaoxu's outfit did not look like that of a cook's child at all.

At this moment, he already knew he had caused trouble and said something he shouldn't have.

He had offended someone he couldn't afford to offend.

Listening to the implications of Zhu Gaoxu's words, his father was clearly not an ordinary person.

Come to think of it, for Zhu Gaoxu to be here, his family members must have come here to help as guests.

And how many of those people were simple?

How many could he afford to offend?

At this moment, sweat was already dripping down his forehead.

He was just someone who delivered food.

How could a disciple who could only come here have any high status?

Usually, at most, he could only bully the cooks in the villa.

In fact, people like them, while called disciples of Cangjian Villa, were at most just servants.

With this group of "big suckers" around, Cangjian Villa didn't need to hire any servants at all.

Except for a few high-level elders who needed individual maids or servants to take care of them, most other matters in the villa were done by these bottom-tier disciples.

So if he really let Zhu Gaoxu go and tell his parents, his fate would go without saying.

Never mind during such a critical moment.

Even in normal times, Cangjian Villa would not offend some big shots in the martial arts world for a dispensable disciple like him.

Thinking this, the disciple intercepted Zhu Gaoxu just as he was about to step out of the kitchen.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu instead put on the appearance of a bratty child.

"What, why are you stopping me? Where did that arrogant attitude from just now go?"

Facing Zhu Gaoxu's provocation, the disciple could only force a smile.

"This young master, it was my recklessness just now. I apologize to you."

Such is the bitterness of a small person; even though Zhu Gaoxu was only a four or five-year-old child, he still had to force a smile.

Of course, Zhu Gaoxu's status was worthy of this smile.

One must know that Zhu Gaoxu's true identity was that of a prince; if he really revealed his identity, the other party wouldn't just be forcing a smile.

They would have to kneel and kowtow.

Seeing that the other party clearly believed him, Zhu Gaoxu's eyes rolled as he had an idea.

Since he now had leverage over the other party, he might as well solidify this identity completely.

Then, by using this identity, he could save himself a lot of trouble.

Then, by using this identity, a lot of trouble can be avoided.

At the very least, he could use this identity to solve the problem of housing.

Although it was said that no one would basically go to stay in his room, he could clearly feel now that the martial arts practitioners here were increasing day by day.

It was estimated that in a few more days, Cangjian Villa would be full, and by then, there would certainly be people arranged to stay in his room.

That would be troublesome when the time came.
