Chapter 233: Scattering Money to Buy Peace of Mind

"Young Master, you are right. Then how would you like to resolve this?"

At this moment, this disciple of Cangjian Villa completely recognized the reality.

He also made his own position clear before Zhu Gaoxu.

His attitude became much more humble.

He no longer cared about the gazes of outsiders; being able to live and being able to stay were better than anything else.

And Zhu Gaoxu clearly also noticed the change in the other party.

He could not help but nod inwardly.

It is said that those who understand the times are outstanding, but in his view, those who can see themselves clearly and position themselves well are likewise outstanding.

Thinking this, Zhu Gaoxu still spoke: "Fine, slap yourself once right now, and I will let you go."

Hearing Zhu Gaoxu's words, this disciple of Cangjian Villa seemed to hear the discussions and mockery of the people around him.

At the same time, he could also imagine that if he really slapped himself,

he would surely become the laughingstock of the entire Cangjian Villa from then on.

But even so, he still raised his hand without hesitation and struck his own cheek hard with a slap.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu smiled with satisfaction, then nodded, looking as if this was barely enough.

Seeing that Zhu Gaoxu was satisfied, that disciple of Cangjian Villa breathed a sigh of relief.

Just at this moment, Zhu Gaoxu spoke again.

"What, not leaving yet? You're an eyesore standing here. Do you need me to invite you?"

Hearing Zhu Gaoxu's words, that disciple of Cangjian Villa clenched his fists, but thinking that he had already swallowed so many grievances just now, he could not let it all be ruined because of one sentence.

Thinking this, this disciple of Cangjian Villa swallowed this insult alive.

Then he smiled and said: "This lowly one will go at once."

After speaking, he decisively turned and left without a shred of hesitation.

And after seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu did not pay any more attention to the other party.

In the end, the other party was just a small character; the reason he made things so difficult for him was entirely to stabilize his own persona.

He could not be stupid enough to pity the other party and expose his own foolishness.

As that disciple of Cangjian Villa left, the entire kitchen fell deathly silent.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled slightly at this.

He certainly could not miss such a good opportunity.

He said directly to that group of cooks: "I want to eat roast duck at noon!"

As soon as the words fell, naturally there were those savvy cooks who chimed in.

"Young Master, don't you worry. I have noted your room just now; if you have any needs in the future, just give the order, and I will send it to you at noon."

"Hahaha, sensible!"

Zhu Gaoxu laughed out loud, then casually pulled a one-hundred-tael silver note from his bosom and tossed it into the other party's hand.

Then he left the kitchen without looking back.

Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes turned red.

That was one hundred taels!

It was worth a year's wages for them; this person rewarded it without even blinking an eye?

At this moment, no one doubted Zhu Gaoxu's identity anymore.

Instead, they each guessed which big shot in the pugilistic world's child he was, to be so generous.

Those cooks who had not spoken to Zhu Gaoxu just now looked at him with envy.

They secretly regretted not saying a word just now.

And some were even stomping their feet in regret; they had wanted to speak up too, but they were one step too slow.

They had missed out on this one hundred taels of silver!

And that cook who had spoken was naturally beaming with joy.

He was thinking about how he would show off to his wife after returning home.

He felt that his decision and reaction just now were the most correct and fastest of his life.

And at this time, Zhu Gaoxu had already returned to his own quarters.

How to put it, he had given the other party that one-hundred-tael silver note on purpose.

For one, it could divert everyone's attention.

Presumably, with one hundred taels of silver thrown out, these people should have shifted their attention elsewhere.

Even if he had any flaws just now, they would not be discovered by those people.

For another, a person like him could not endure hardship anywhere.

Even if it meant spending a little money to find someone to serve him, it was worth it.

Next, Zhu Gaoxu returned to the courtyard.

At this time, there were also more pugilistic people in the courtyard.

Most of them had finished eating and were wandering around with nothing to do.

Some were practicing martial arts, some were chatting.

There were also those who went outside to buy things or attend to their own business.

But most people, no matter what, still stayed inside the villa.

Unless there was some urgent or very private matter.

Otherwise, they would just order those disciples to go buy things.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu also walked out.

Afterwards, he began to loiter in front of the room of the man in black who had been followed last night.

But unfortunately, after waiting outside for a good while, his legs even started to ache from walking.

Yet there was not a single sound from inside.

Having no other choice, Zhu Gaoxu could only return to his own room first.

He was afraid that if someone came to deliver his meal in a while and saw he was missing, they would go looking for him everywhere.

After all, his current identity must not be exposed.

If that cook were kind-hearted and went around asking who had brought a child in.

And after asking for a long time, it turned out no one had brought a child, then things would be ruined.

In fact, these people had already had their attention diverted by Zhu Gaoxu.

Thinking about it, it made sense; right now, this Cangjian Villa was facing a great enemy and was very dangerous, so what family would bring a child along?
