Being an emperor is not something he can do, so he can only rely on his connections.

Huangfu Ling happily grasped the precious sword, while Jiuer looked at Zhang Jingwei with a triumphant expression. It was such a shame to spend three hundred taels. He finally had some spare cash, but it was all taken away by a broken sword.

Mu Tou looked at the two sisters talking and laughing in front of him and couldn't help but sigh: "Master, look how happy the young lady is."

Zhang Jingwei, who was standing aside, had a worried look on his face and said sullenly, "Don't you realize that I'm not happy at all?"

At this time, Qian Ming came over and persuaded him, "Master, we must have some courage. Look at Master Ma, he can spend a lot of money without any change of expression or heartbeat!"

Zhang Jingwei rolled his eyes at him and responded unhappily, "If I had a father named Ma, I'd be able to act so effortlessly and naturally!"

Mu Tou pondered for a moment and then slowly spoke, "Actually, the Huangfu family is quite wealthy. The young lady simply wants to spend three hundred taels of silver to purchase a precious sword, which is not a difficult task at all. Ultimately, all she expects is a response from the young master."

Zhang Jingwei shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Alas, she wasn't like this before. She'd always been frugal and thrifty. But ever since she became sworn brothers with those two sisters, they've been inseparable all day and night, and she's become a bad person."

Mu Tou quickly defended the young lady, saying, "Master, you really can't blame Miss Jiu'er for this. After all, she has never asked you to pay even a penny."

Zhang Jingwei's eyes widened as he glared at Mu Tou and scolded him, "Love can change a person beyond recognition. Now you dare to disobey me because of a woman!"

Mu stood up straight without fear and insisted, "I'm just telling the truth."

Seeing Mu Tou's persistence, Zhang Jingwei waved his hand and said impatiently, "Alright, alright, I don't want to bother with you. Anyway, this little girl is mean and naughty. You better keep an eye on her from now on."

Jiu'er's eyebrows were raised, her eyes wide open, and she said coquettishly, "Humph! This should be said quietly, how dare you shout so loudly? Don't let me hear these dirty words, lest I dirty my ears!"

Zhang Jingwei, who was standing by, heard this and his expression instantly darkened. He pointed at Jiuer and angrily shouted, "Look at your attitude! You fool! Take care of your girlfriend!"

Jiuer was furious when she heard this. She put her hands on her hips, took a step forward, glared at Zhang Jingwei and shouted, "Just try to yell at him again! I'm not afraid of you. If you have anything to say, just come to me!"

Huangfu Ling, who was standing nearby, hurried out to smooth things over, saying softly, "Aiya, Sister Jiuer, don't be angry. He really didn't mean that. You are a magnanimous person, so just calm down."

Mu Tou, on the other hand, timidly apologized to Zhang Jingwei: "Master, please calm down. It's all my fault. Please blame me."

However, Zhang Jingwei did not appreciate it at all. He still stared at Jiuer fiercely and cursed: "Hmph, a woman as fierce and aggressive as you, whoever marries you will suffer!" After saying that, he glared at Mu Tou.

Jiu'er tugged at Huangfu Ling's soft sleeve with anger on her face, complaining in a delicate voice, "Ling'er, look at him! How can he speak to Big Sister so rudely? Why don't you take care of him?"

Zhang Jingwei, who was standing by, saw this and said helplessly, "I was wrong, big sister, please don't be so stubborn. It's getting late, I'll hire a car to take you back."

At this moment, Qian Ming, who was walking behind, suddenly said, "Master, something seems to be wrong up ahead."

Hearing this, Zhang Jingwei quickly turned and looked in the direction Qian Ming pointed. He saw that the entrance to his bar was now surrounded by a huge crowd. Since the bar opened, there had never been such a situation. Who was so bold as to cause trouble here? Thinking of this, Zhang Jingwei frowned and said in a deep voice, "Let's go and take a look."

After saying that, he walked forward quickly, and it took a lot of effort for him to finally squeeze through the crowd of onlookers.

When they saw the situation inside clearly, they were surprised to find that Gao Ying and Li Can were wrestling on the ground.

Ma Tianmao advised from the side: "Brother Zhaoxuan, Brother Li Can, please stop fighting... Oh, this is so embarrassing!"

Gao Jiong and Li Can grappled with each other. Although Gao Jiong was a weak scholar, he suddenly burst out with amazing strength. He tightly grasped Li Can's arm and tried to subdue him. Li Can, relying on his own superior force, struggled to break free from Gao Jiong's restraint.

The bartender tried to separate them, but Gao Jiong and Li Can were already in a frenzy and refused to listen.

At this moment, Gao Jiong suddenly exerted force and threw Li Can to the ground. He sat on Li Can and punched him repeatedly in the face. Li Can was beaten so hard that he had no power to fight back and could only groan in pain.

"Stop it all!"

Zhang Jingwei roared, but it fell on deaf ears, not stirring up even the slightest ripple or effect. Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, he anxiously shouted at Qian Ming and Mu Tou, "What are you two still standing there for? Hurry and pull them apart!"

Jiu'er, who was standing by, was filled with anxiety. She shouted to Mu Tou in a trembling voice, "Mu Tou, be careful! Don't get hurt by them!"

Upon receiving the command, Mu Tou flashed towards the two men like an arrow from a bow. In the blink of an eye, he was beside Gao Jiong and quickly restrained him. Meanwhile, Qian Ming showed no sign of weakness, rushing forward to protect Li Can.

However, just when they were about to be successfully separated, Gao Ying suddenly took advantage of Li Can's unpreparedness and kicked him hard.

Zhang Jingwei stared at the scene in front of him with wide eyes, shouting angrily, "What the hell is going on? How could it get to this point?"

At this time, Ma Tianmao, who was standing nearby, quickly stepped out to smooth things over, saying, "Hey, calm down, it's just a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"

Gao Jiong, however, was filled with anger and resentment. He stiffened his neck and roared, "A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated! I treated you kindly, but I didn't expect you to be so unreasonable!"

Li Can's face was livid with rage. He clutched his stomach with his hands and cursed, "You son of a bitch! How dare you launch a sneak attack! What kind of scholar are you? You're nothing but a despicable villain! Villain!" A wave of nausea washed over him. "Ugh—wow..." Li Can couldn't help but vomit, his filth splattering all over the floor. Even so, he refused to give up, staggering to his feet and continuing to curse at Gao Jiong.

Seeing this, Zhang Jingwei shouted angrily, "Shut up!"
