The Proof of the Heavens Begins with The Legend of the Condor Heroes

Chapter 131: The Fourth Year of Qingli
Kyoto, One Stone Residence
This is one of the most wealthy places in Kyoto. Every day, countless wealthy officials, talented men and beautiful women come here to drink and chat.

Only the children of the powerful in the court can go up to the third floor of Yishiju. Ordinary people cannot go up there.

This is Fan Xian's first day in Kyoto. Fan Xian arrives at Si Nanbo's Mansion in Kyoto and meets his stepfather's second wife, Aunt Liu.

He went to one of the most luxurious restaurants in Kyoto with Fan Ruoruo and Fan Sizhe to have fun.

Yishiju seems particularly lively today. The first and second floors have long been packed with people, and even the most exclusive third floor is crowded.

If Fan Ruoruo hadn't booked a seat in advance, she wouldn't have been able to squeeze in today.

"Brother, we are in for a treat today." Fan Ruoruo smiled mysteriously at her brother.

"What do you mean?" Fan Xian asked with a smile.

"It is said that the chef of Yishiju has developed a new dish and invited His Royal Highness the Second Prince to come and taste it. We, the diners on the third floor, will also have the opportunity to share some of the profits." Fan Ruoruo said.

"The Second Prince? Is he the famous 'Four Wonders Crazy Guest'?" Even Fan Xian, who was far away in Danzhou, had heard of this rebellious Second Prince.

His Majesty has four princes. The Crown Prince is not in a position to comment. The eldest prince is martial and is currently leading troops outside. The third prince is only eight years old and it is not possible to tell what he can do.

Only the second prince was famous and common people had heard of him.

The reason for this was that although he was a prince, he did not do his job properly. He usually liked to study various miscellaneous subjects such as sword dancing, cooking, playing the piano, and painting.

This is actually fine. As a noble, it is normal to cultivate some hobbies. It is better than those playboys who bully men and women.

But the reason why this prince earned the nickname "Four Wonders Crazy Guest".

It is because his sword dance, cooking, piano skills and painting are all first-class in the world.

It is said that the second prince's paintings were praised by great masters as the reincarnation of the Saint of Painting, and his piano music could even attract hundreds of birds to stop and dine.

Indulging in the mountains and rivers and living a carefree life, the second prince can be said to be living a very carefree life.

"Then I have to see it carefully." Fan Xian said with a smile.

Speaking of which, he had met the Second Prince once when he was a child in Danzhou, but that was a long time ago, and it is likely that His Royal Highness the Prince has long forgotten it.

At this moment, a unique fragrance wafted from not far away, and then several waiters served portions of soup.

"Dear guests, this is the gentleman's jade soup prepared by my chef. Please taste it!" The waiter retreated respectfully.

Fan Xian took a closer look and saw a few chrysanthemum petals floating on the bowl of clear soup, and a few bamboo shoots sinking in the bottom of the soup, which looked very elegant.

"What do you mean by 'A gentleman is like jade soup'? Are you going to send us away with a few flowers and plants?" Fan Sizhe curled his lips.

He drank most of the bowl of soup like a cow chewing a peony.

"This...this taste!" Fan Sizhe's eyes lit up and he said, "This is really a good soup!"

He took a few more sips and swallowed the whole cup of "Gentleman is like Jade Soup" whole.

Fan Sizhe was still dissatisfied. He looked at the soup in front of Fan Xian and said, "Fan Xian, let me have your bowl too."

Before Fan Xian could say anything, Fan Ruoruo raised her eyebrows and said, "How can you call me brother by my name? Are you trying to get beaten again?"

Fan Sizhe was used to being disciplined by Fan Ruoruo, so he immediately shut his mouth.

Fan Xian smiled and took a sip. "Good soup!" Even though Fan Xian had the soul of a modern man, he was still amazed by this bowl of "Gentleman Like Jade Soup".

It turns out that this seemingly bland soup base is actually made by slowly cooking chicken, duck, pork ribs and other meats.

Use chrysanthemums, bamboo shoots and other gentlemen among flowers to remove the fishy smell.

A gentleman is like jade soup, the reputation is truly well-deserved!

Fan Ruoruo also took a sip and asked in surprise, "Brother, how does this soup taste?"

"Yes!" Fan Xian took another sip and said, "Chrysanthemums and bamboo shoots are both symbols of gentlemen. This gentleman-like jade soup is well-deserved of its name. Unfortunately, chrysanthemums carry a hint of sadness and bitterness, and are ultimately not perfect."

At this moment, an extremely arrogant voice came from somewhere outside the room, saying, "Where did this country bumpkin come from? He has read some sour and vulgar poems, and yet he dares to speak nonsense about a gentleman!"

Although the third floor of Yishiju is a public place, most of the people who can enter and exit here are either rich or noble. The one who is so bold as to humiliate others in person is probably not an ordinary playboy.

Fan Xian's thoughts turned over and over, but Fan Sizhe suddenly became angry for no reason and rushed out, "Who said that just now?"

"That's what I said." said a dark-skinned, ugly-looking scholar with prominent facial features.

This man was named He Zongwei. He studied under a great scholar in the court and was also known as a talented man in Kyoto.

The first time he saw Fan Sizhe, he knew that he must be the son of some powerful and wealthy family.

But the pride of being a scholar made him sneer subconsciously and said, "You uneducated and spoiled children, are you worthy of being called a gentleman?"

Fan Sizhe was originally only prepared to curse the other party a few words, but He Zongwei said that he was uneducated, which immediately aroused the pain in his heart.

He was so angry that he had long forgotten Fan Ruoruo's teachings and slapped He Zongwei in the face.

He Zongwei never expected that Fan Sizhe would suddenly attack and hurt someone. By the time he reacted, half of his cheek was already swollen.

Among the talented men who came with He Zongwei, one of them was Guo Baokun, the son of the current Minister of Rites Guo Youzhi. Seeing that Fan Sizhe was so young, he dared to attack and hurt people.

He immediately frowned and ordered his men, "Throw this kid out!"

Guo Baokun's guard grabbed Fan Sizhe tightly with his iron-hoop-like hands, and was about to throw Fan Sizhe out like a chicken.

Fan Xian originally thought that Fan Sizhe would at most have a few arguments with others, but he didn't expect that after a while, the situation would evolve to such a serious level.

Although he met his nominal younger brother for the first time today, he discovered that Fan Sizhe was not a bad person.

The guard's attack was really ruthless. There was a ruthless hidden force in his throw. If Fan Sizhe was not handled properly, he would end up with broken bones and vomiting blood.

At this moment, somewhere on the third floor, in a room covered with heavy curtains, a swordsman in white with a ghostly figure rushed over.

The sword and its sheath were pointed directly at the guard under Guo Baokun. Before the sword was revealed, the cold sword energy had already enveloped the entire place.

The frightened guard froze in place, allowing the person who came to rescue Fan Sizhe.

"Master!" Fan Xian and others thought at the same time.

This level of swordsmanship is definitely not an ordinary person in the capital, but looking at his respectful look, it seems that he is just a guard.

The nobleman in the innermost room must be of extraordinary status as he has such a master of swordsmanship as his bodyguard.
