Evil of all ages

Chapter 187 Tit for tat
“The children here are being looked after. Mr. Bai, why don’t we come into the Princess’s residence together, find a corner, sit down at a table, and chat while we eat?”

Huang Taichu suggested.

"You're joking, sir. I'm just a humble schoolteacher. I brought the kids here just to freeload on the side."

"Since you are not a guest invited by the princess, you are not qualified to enter the princess's residence."

Bai Donglai laughed.

"Not qualified? Heh..."

Upon hearing this, Huang Taichu couldn't help but smile.

"Mr. Bai, you're being too modest. Do you really need an invitation to enter the Princess's residence?"

"As long as you go, you will be giving Princess Pingyang and Di Qingtian the greatest respect."

Upon hearing this, Bai Dong immediately recognized that the Ghost King's son was a Grandmaster-level expert.

This made him narrow his eyes and subtly sense Huang Taichu, recognizing him as a first-rate martial artist.

With such low-level skill, one cannot see that he is a Grandmaster-level expert.

In other words, the rumors are true, and the son of the Ghost King also possesses some magical abilities.

It may have originated from his father, the Ghost King, who possessed supernatural powers beyond the reach of mortals.

He, a powerful figure, would normally scoff at supernatural beings and ghosts.

However, being in the capital, how could he not have heard enough about the Ghost King of the Southern City Prison?

In addition, Princess Pingyang invited all the famous doctors in the capital to treat Di Qingtian, so there were many doctors and a lot of conflicting opinions.

With so many people talking, how can anything be kept secret?

As a result, everyone knew about Di Qingtian's situation.

Di Qingtian, who was diagnosed as terminally ill, was sent to the Southern City Prison and miraculously survived.

How could he still look down on the Southern City Prison?

Upon seeing the son of the Ghost King, the son immediately recognized him as a Grandmaster-level expert.

Even when facing a Grandmaster-level expert like him, he remained composed and easygoing.

This forced him to believe that the Ghost King was real.

"No, I'd rather not. Going in with you, or sitting at the same table with you, would attract attention."

"I just want to teach simply and don't want to be forced to get involved in all sorts of messy things."

Bai Donglai wanted to have more contact with Huang Taichu.

Because no one can guarantee that they won't get a serious illness, be poisoned, or be severely injured and dying in the future.

Although he is a master of supreme strength, the probability of him suffering from serious illness or poisoning is very small, but what if it happens?

Does he need someone to save his life?

If a human can't save a life, shouldn't one seek out the Ghost King?
However, the thought of entering the princess's residence with the son of the Ghost King, or sitting at the same table, would certainly attract attention.

He didn't want others to discover that he was a Grandmaster-level expert, nor did he want others to bother him because of it.

After much thought, he refused.

Anyway, there will be plenty of time in the future, and there will always be opportunities to meet the son of the Ghost King.

"Give"

Huang Taichu didn't mind Bai Donglai's refusal and, as if by magic, produced an invitation and handed it to him.

Bai Dong couldn't see how Huang Taichu conjured things up, nor was he surprised; he simply assumed it involved the power of ghosts and gods.

Upon seeing the invitation handed to him, he assumed it was from the princess's residence and was about to refuse.

"The day after tomorrow is my big day. If you're free then, you can bring these kids to join in the fun."

Upon hearing that this was an invitation from Huang Taichu to invite distinguished guests, Bai Donglai immediately swallowed the refusal that was about to come out of his throat.

Just as I was thinking about how to get to know Huang Taichu better in the future, this opportunity came along.

"No problem, I'll be there on time with the kids the day after tomorrow."

Bai Donglai accepted the invitation with both hands, smiled gently, and agreed.

Huang Taichu said nothing more and led Wei Qianlan around Bai Donglai and walked forward.

"Brother, could he be a reclusive master?"

Although Wei Qianlan is lively and active, she is, after all, a saintess of the White Lotus Sect, and still has some manners.

When her brother was talking to the teacher, she stood obediently behind him without saying a word, trying not to disturb the adults' conversation.

However, she knew her brother wouldn't strike up a conversation with a stranger for no reason, and she sensed that this schoolteacher must be someone special. She wanted to ask, but she held back.

After leaving that street and returning to the main road, heading towards the gate of the princess's residence, she couldn't help but ask a question.

"Um"

Huang Taichu nodded slightly and gave a brief reply, without revealing that Bai Donglai was a Grandmaster-level expert.

Upon hearing this, Wei Qianlan thought to herself, "As expected," and marveled at how many hidden talents there were in the capital.

Arriving at the gate of the Princess's Palace

Other distinguished guests were only allowed entry with invitations, but Huang Taichu didn't need one, since everyone in the Princess's residence knew him.

Upon entering the princess's residence, one is greeted by a joyous atmosphere, with people everywhere.

Huang Taichu wasn't interested in these people and wanted to find Di Luoyun, but he knew that the princess was getting married today, and many young ladies from prominent families in the capital were there.

Di Luoyun was either by the princess's side or with those young ladies from noble families.

In addition, since he is about to marry Di Luoyun, according to custom, it is not advisable for him to meet with Di Luoyun until the day after tomorrow.

"brother"

Wei Qianlan hugged the big cat and looked at her brother with anticipation.

Upon seeing this, Huang Taichu knew that Wei Qianlan wanted to go out and play.

"go"

Huang Taichu knew that if the old man was in charge, no one would dare to cause trouble at the princess's residence.

Even if Wei Qianlan accidentally bumps into someone at the princess's residence, she can still get away with it because of her identity as the "daughter of the Ghost King".

Anyone with a modicum of common sense would politely forgive Wei Qianlan's rudeness.

Seeing that her brother was letting her go play, Wei Qianlan didn't care whether the big cat wanted to or not, and skipped off to play with it.

Although Huang Taichu was low-key enough, who among them could enter the princess's residence was an ordinary person?

They recognized Huang Taichu's identity and rushed forward to curry favor with this son of the Ghost King.

Huang Taichu remained expressionless, and no matter who tried to curry favor with him, he always maintained an air of aloofness.

The princess's residence is divided into an outer courtyard and an inner courtyard. The outer courtyard is for ordinary VIPs, while the inner courtyard is for VIPs of high status.

The people in the outer courtyard were too annoying, so Huang Taichu had no choice but to run into the inner courtyard.

Enter the inner courtyard
Huang Taichu saw many familiar faces, including the top ghostwriter Feng Zizai, the water ghost Jiang Wei, and others, all of whom he had met in Yunzhou.

Unfortunately, they only saw Huang Taichu disguised as Li Xunhuan and did not recognize Huang Taichu himself.

Besides these innate powerhouses, there were other unfamiliar innate powerhouses, more than a dozen in total.

Some were friends of Di Qingtian, while others came out of respect for Elder Shi.

Since everyone who entered the inner courtyard was someone of importance, when Huang Taichu stepped in, everyone's eyes fell on him.

Those inside the inner courtyard recognized him even faster as the son of the Ghost King, and those who couldn't contain themselves came over to approach him, hoping to gain his friendship.

Huang Taichu was annoyed, but he still dealt with all these people and then went to a corner to occupy a table by himself.

He always tells anyone who wants a seat that it's taken.

Time passes

When his younger sister came back after playing, she sat down next to him. Since the food hadn't been served yet, Da Bai was lying on the empty table, doing nothing.

It exposed its round belly, letting Wei Qianlan pet it.

The eldest prince and the third prince were also present.

They arrived almost simultaneously. Upon seeing the two princes, everyone rose and bowed slightly in greeting.

Huang Taichu sat there motionless, showing no intention of bowing.

Seeing her brother do this, Wei Qianlan followed suit and continued to sit and pet the cat.

The behavior of this brother and sister was so outstanding that many people noticed it, including the two princes.

However, the two princes did not show any dissatisfaction. They first confronted each other, and then each tried to win over others.

In the end, they arrived uninvited and all sat at Huang Taichu's table.

Everyone hopes that Wong Tai-cho will take sides and stand with them.

Unfortunately, no matter what they promised, Huang Taichu did not respond.

Seeing that Huang Taichu did not express his opinion, the two, who were at odds, began to mock each other.
