Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Seeking High Connections

"Sister-in-law, I’m still studying at the academy! Can I not go?" Chu Feng said with a pained expression, trying to make excuses.

His time was truly precious; judging by his current pace of cultivation, he might be promoted to Beginner Level Sword Master Realm this year. By then, he could devise a way to participate in the entrance assessment of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect.

After all, Chu Feng only had a single Fake Sword Vein in his body, and he could only cultivate to the peak of the Beginner Level Sword Master at most.

It was absolutely impossible for him to break through to the Intermediate Sword Master Realm.

Therefore, the best way for Chu Feng to get an exceptional admission to the Ten Thousand Sword Sect’s entrance assessment was to lower his age.

Being promoted to the Sword Master Realm at sixteen is fundamentally different compared to being promoted at eighteen.

It is widely acknowledged that the younger the age, the more advantageous it is.

The sister-in-law’s almond eyes widened, and she said sternly, "You must go! Hurry up and change into your new clothes, we will hire a carriage to go, it will also help uphold our dignity!" The Sword King Mansion hadn’t declined to the point where they couldn’t even afford a carriage.

It truly made one’s heart ache.

This time, taking Chu Feng to a matchmaking meeting, they actually needed to rent a carriage to maintain appearances.

Chu Feng had rarely seen his sister-in-law angry, and truly didn’t dare to provoke her.

He had no choice but to comply and changed into the new clothes.

Well, it’s true what they say - the Buddha relies on gold vestments; people rely on clothing. Once Chu Feng changed into the new clothes, his entire demeanor became majestic, his long hair carelessly draped behind his head, the whole person looked indescribably elegant and dashing.

Coupled with his composure that far surpassed his peers, the sister-in-law was mesmerized.

"Tsk tsk, our family’s younger brother-in-law truly has an exceptional appearance! Going to the matchmaking today, the girl’s family will definitely be impressed!" A smile of admiration appeared on her pretty face.

Maid Little Lan was also secretly amazed.

Usually, looking at this Third Prince, he seemed slovenly and quite disappointing. Unexpectedly, after dressing up, he was handsome and compelling.

"Hmph, what’s the use of all show and no substance? He’s just a pretty outer shell but an empty sack inside!" Little Lan had always been at odds with Chu Feng, and seeing him looking so pleased with his appearance now, she couldn’t help but mock him.

"Little Lan, don’t be rude!" The sister-in-law quickly chastised.

Just then, Mo Shang walked in.

"Your Highness, Princess Qiao, the carriage has been rented! To save on expenses, I didn’t hire a coachman, let Chu Danzi drive it!" Mo Shang was highly capable.

He had just joined the household less than two days ago, yet he had already fit into his role.

Under his management, the whole Sword King Mansion became orderly. As expected of a professional steward, his capability in handling affairs and management experience were truly impressive.

"Let’s go!"

The sister-in-law led the way outside, with Little Lan closely following her.

Mo Shang revealed a mischievous smile and whispered to Chu Feng, "If your Highness feels embarrassed, let your servant accompany you!"

"Scram!"

A matchmaking meeting of this kind, how could Chu Feng take a servant along with him? To let the servant watch his embarrassment?

When he arrived outside the manor, he saw a rather luxurious carriage parked there.

It seemed Mo Shang had put some thought into renting the carriage. Renting one too luxurious would not match the Sword King Mansion’s capabilities and would only give the impression of putting on a facade.

Renting one too shabby would demean their status.

This one was moderately luxurious, just right. The price was also quite ideal.

Actually, with Chu Feng’s current status and earning ability, let alone renting, even if he paid to buy a luxurious carriage to maintain, it wouldn’t be a problem at all.

Chu Danzi had already set up the steps for boarding the carriage, and the sister-in-law and Little Lan got into the carriage one after another.

"Young uncle, stop dawdling, come on up!" The sister-in-law called out to Chu Feng, lifting the curtain.

"Just like a little bride sitting in a sedan chair, you’re going on a blind date, not getting married! How pathetic!" Little Lan looked at Chu Feng with disdain.

Chu Feng got into the carriage and after sitting down, he found the space inside was not very large.

Squeezed in the carriage with a beautiful and charming sister-in-law, and the quite attractive Little Lan, the atmosphere was somewhat suggestive. The faint fragrance emanating from their bodies was intoxicating.

...

The carriage traveled along the road at a leisurely pace.

Because this was the Royal Capital, the streets and alleys were crowded with many pedestrians, and driving too fast could easily lead to accidents.

The Royal Capital was vast, and the carriage took almost two hours to reach the destination.

"Rich Merchant Street has arrived!"

The carriage stopped, and the sister-in-law cautioned Chu Feng, "Remember, when you get off the carriage and arrive at my aunt’s house, you must sweeten your words. The girl I’m introducing to you is a distant niece from my aunt’s family."

"She is attractive and capable. I heard she managed to secure a decent job with a considerable income."

"She moved to the Royal Capital a year ago to live with my aunt, and now she has rented her own place and is financially independent, very outstanding. I estimate this girl’s standards are also quite high, so you need to perform well, understand?"

What else could Chu Feng say? He could only nod in agreement.

However, in his mind, he was thinking, that girl’s prideful nature might be just perfect. He just needed to act dumb during the blind date, and naturally, it would fall through.

The three of them got out of the carriage one after another, and Chu Feng looked around only to see rows of impressive small courtyard houses.

Blue bricks, green tiles, fenced courtyard doors, and fragrant plants inside, it did indeed have its own unique charm.

Rich Merchant Street was known in the Royal Capital as a hub for rich merchants.

Those living here were mostly successful and wealthy individuals.

The carriage stopped outside a courtyard door, and the people inside, hearing the commotion, immediately came out to welcome them.

A couple in their thirties, the man sporting a huge belly like a pregnant woman about to deliver. Wearing an Alchemy Master Robe only First-grade Alchemists could wear, his hair slicked with pomade, perfectly combed.

He did appear somewhat like a successful person.

Especially with the status of a First-grade Alchemist, it was quite dazzling.

The woman, in her late twenties, was slightly plump. But that, combined with her delicate features, fair skin, and the dazzling jewelry and hair accessories, did make her pleasing to the eye.

Clearly, she was a woman with advantageous living conditions.

Two servants followed them. Being wealthy enough to employ servants and live in a separate house, this young couple was quite affluent.

They scrutinized Chu Feng’s carriage with a critical eye.

"Cousin, cousin-in-law!"

The sister-in-law quickly greeted the young couple with a smile.

"Qiao Yue’er, surely your family isn’t that poor? Coming for a blind date in such a poor carriage is one thing!"

"But to squeeze into one carriage with him! You don’t even avoid arousing suspicion; he’s your uncle, be careful lest others gossip about you!"

The cousin-in-law’s voice was pleasant to the ears, but the words were not so nice.

Looking at Chu Feng and sister-in-law Qiao Yue’er, the attitude they displayed was one of superiority.

Purely the arrogant expression of city dwellers looking at their poor rural relatives.

During the conversation, the cousin also purposely glanced at the luxurious carriage parked inside their courtyard. Compared to the one rented by Chu Feng and his group, it was indeed a class higher.

That was it.
