That goes without saying, because those who are often top scholars know that being handsome is the point!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the problem was, this top scholar Ouyang Xu had his face broken!

How much silver!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Pang Yu before him, Grand Tutor Pang became excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You must know, when Pang Yu, this stinky kid, emptied his million taels of silver, it almost made Grand Tutor Pang think he wouldn't be safe in his old age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he never expected that Pang Yu would be so promising, befriending Imperial Son-in-Law Zhang Cheng and Chai Wenyi, and earning such a huge fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The dividends for this year total more than two million taels...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking to Grand Tutor Pang, Pang Yu couldn't help but get excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What, actually so much?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Pang Yu in astonishment, Grand Tutor Pang never expected that the Heavenly Realm would be so profitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad, this is just Bianliang; outside, the silver earned is even more massive!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Grand Tutor Pang’s ignorant look, Pang Yu smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he hadn't told Grand Tutor Pang yet about the slave-trading business he and Chai Wenyi had set up; that was what was truly profitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was a business with no capital; conscripting warriors, going out to sea to grab people—that was truly money coming in like a flood!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the small courtyard,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Zhao Pan'er learned that Ouyang Xu had his face broken, she was dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Sun Sanniang and Song Yinzhang were stunned, because that was the new top scholar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even more astonishing things were yet to come, that was, the person who did it was only confined for three months!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking that even Gu Qianfan couldn't handle Ouyang Xu, but he was beaten in the blink of an eye, Zhao Pan'er couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because that Imperial Son-in-Law’s way of doing things was truly wicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing that the top scholar relied on his appearance, he still insisted on hitting his face!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Cheng: Besides having a hard mouth, Pang Yu’s wild punches are also quite powerful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pang Yu: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavenly Realm, Office,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Erya walked into the office leisurely: \"Imperial Son-in-Law Zhang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Wang Erya, Zhang Cheng raised his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because ever since Feng Suzhen also became an Imperial Son-in-Law, he became Imperial Son-in-Law Zhang, and Feng Suzhen became Imperial Son-in-Law Feng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ever heard of Zhang Haohao?

She deserved it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Suzhen: Turn on the mic, I’m telling you to turn on the mic!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Cheng: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a certain brothel,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The top courtesan was playing the pipa above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rubbing his chin, Zhang Cheng smiled: \"I want this person, go negotiate with the madam!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Zhang Cheng’s words, Niu Er hurriedly stood up and walked toward a seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a moment later, a violent argument broke out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing up, Zhang Cheng leaned on the railing and said: \"Niu Er, what’s going on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, this person is blocking us from redeeming the person!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pointing at the slightly arrogant young master before him, Niu Er explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you? Don't you know that Zhang Haohao is someone I fancy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Zhang Cheng, Chi Pan scolded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cousin, this is Chi Pan, the son of the head of the twelve guilds in Bianliang!

If you’re not convinced, see if your father dares to come to me to ask for her!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, Zhang Cheng supported his chin with disdain: \"Coming out to play, what do you think you’re talking about! It’s about power, it’s about background; you’re just the son of a guild, I say you’re a little punk, what can you say!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Chi Pan domineeringly, Zhang Cheng roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And accompanied by Zhang Cheng’s words, guards with hands on their waist blades stood out on both sides of the railing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching this scene, Chi Pan pursed his lips and didn't dare to say a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was a dissolute child, there were levels among dissolute children!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take the money, redeem the person!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the madam coldly, Zhang Cheng turned and went downstairs to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, nothing was more eye-catching than a top courtesan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the top courtesans in Bianliang all had to belong to his Heavenly Realm!\u003C\u002Fp>",1501,"2026-06-18T01:05:47.158Z","2026-06-18T03:13:38.468Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","93f441457bf181d8282d55a9e79fcecea34de14db67230a50bd62e4ed770a07b","the-evil-force-roaming-the-heavens-chapter-43","the-evil-force-roaming-the-heavens-chapter-41",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frogue-evil-forces-across-the-heavens-cover.jpg"]
