The chubby man waved his hand impatiently, "That's all ancient history. Ever since His Majesty the Emperor retreated into seclusion, this reception has been nothing but a na."
"I have an urgent matter for His Majesty the Emperor," Gao Fei said. "It's really important! Please, let through..."
"Let you through to what? Who do you want to announce you to?" the chubby man asked with a sneer, speaking annoyed, "I'll say it again, many years ago, His Majesty the Emperor went into seclusion and has stopped involving himself in the affairs of Human Territory."
"But..." Gao Fei started to speak but was interrupted by the chubby man.
The chubby man gestured dismissively, "Go away, go back. Don't bother here anymore."
Gao Fei stood his ground and did not move.
"Why haven't you left yet!" the chubby man's eyes bulged.
"Brother, I really have urgent business with His Majesty the Emperor, a matter of utmost urgency," Gao Fei pleaded.
"Are you deaf or sothing?"
"I..."
"Get going!"
"Here, take this." Gao Fei stuffed a bulging Storage Bag into the chubby man's hand.
The chubby man was taken aback, "What are you doing?"
"Inside here are ten thousand Spirit Stones..."
The chubby man's face turned stern, "You're trying to bribe !"
"No, that's not what I ant... I just want to see His Majesty the Emperor, please help out," Gao Fei said urgently: "Upon success, I will surely repay you handsoly." Gao Fei emphasized the word "handsoly" especially hard.
"Take it back." The chubby man threw the Storage Bag with the Spirit Stones back at him, "Don't pull that trick on !"
"Huh?" Gao Fei caught the Storage Bag, blinking in surprise, "You think it's too little?"
"Too little your sister! I, Zhao Dahai, am a man of principle, I never take advantage of others," the chubby man declared righteously: "Get out of here before I lose my temper, otherwise, don't bla for being rude to you." With that, Zhao Dahai erupted with an amazing aura as he beca angry.
Gao Fei was stunned; he hadn't expected the chubby man, Zhao Dahai, to say such things.
"Go, go, go, just go." Zhao Dahai herded Gao Fei out, then with a "bang," he closed the iron gate: "Don't co and bother again!" Zhao Dahai's annoyed voice ca from behind the iron gate.
Gao Fei stood outside, looking at the now-closed iron gate, his eyes flickering, seemingly lost in thought.
...
The sky gradually darkened.
"Clang!"
The iron gate suddenly opened; Zhao Dahai staggered out, humming a tuneless ditty as he walked.
After locking up the iron gate, Zhao Dahai started walking off into the distance.
"Swish!"
A figure blocked Zhao Dahai's path.
"It's you again!" Zhao Dahai was furious: "What on earth do you want!!!"
The one who stopped Zhao Dahai was none other than Gao Fei.
With a smiling face, Gao Fei said, "Co on, do a favor, I'm begging you."
"Beg your sister!" Zhao Dahai cursed: "Disappear from my sight right now, otherwise I won't be polite anymore." As he said this, Zhao Dahai rolled up his sleeves, ready to take action.
"I really have an urgent matter..."
"Scram!"
"Hey, don't get violent, I'm leaving, I'm leaving right now."
"You're lucky you can run fast, kid, otherwise, I would've given you a good thrashing," Zhao Dahai grumbled as he walked away.
...
Nothing further happened that night.
Early the next morning, Zhao Dahai left his ho and headed for the Imperial Palace. His daily job was extrely easy, so easy it couldn't get any easier. He spent the days sleeping soundly at the reception, and at night, he returned ho to sleep soundly with his wife, living an especially comfortable life.
"Aiyo, little sister, aiyo, little sister..." Zhao Dahai didn't have any other hobbies; he just liked to hum a little tune when he was idle. To tell the truth, he was tone-deaf, and the tunes he sang were as awful as could be.
"Hey brother, how are you?" Gao Fei appeared out of nowhere, blocking Zhao Dahai's path, with his hands clasped in a polite greeting.
"Uh..." Zhao Dahai was startled, but once he regained his composure, he waved his fists, ready to strike Gao Fei. Zhao Dahai, like Gao Fei, was also at the Nascent Soul Stage, and the two were evenly matched in strength.
"Hey, no need for violence, let's talk this out..." After dodging a few blows, Gao Fei turned and ran. He wasn't scared, he just didn't want to fight with Zhao Dahai.
Zhao Dahai gave chase for a while, then stopped, not out of kindness but because he simply couldn't catch up. Gao Fei ran too fast, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye. "Where the hell did this jerk pop out from!" Zhao Dahai was furious, standing on the street with his hands on his hips, cursing for half an hour and attracting a crowd of onlookers.
Zhao Dahai finally closed his mouth after exhausting himself from swearing, and walked away snorting angrily.
...
In the following days, Zhao Dahai experienced the most infuriating and frustrating days of his life, all thanks to Gao Fei.
Gao Fei had beco a persistent nuisance for Zhao Dahai, popping up from ti to ti to give him a "scare," always managing to provoke Zhao Dahai into a ferocious rage, chasing after Gao Fei through several streets.
In the evening, Zhao Dahai was walking ho when he ran into Gao Fei again.
This ti Zhao Dahai was quite calm, "You little twerp! You just can't get enough, can you! If you keep pestering like this, I'll get help to take you out! I've been around the Imperial City for a long ti, and I know a few masters. Just a word from , and you won't live till tomorrow morning," he said, clearly furious.
"Don't be like that," Gao Fei quickly said. "I don't want to pester you! I just want your help... but you refuse to help , so I have no choice but to adopt this strategy."
"I have limited abilities, I can't help you! You should find soone else!" Zhao Dahai said coldly.
"The key issue is, I don't know anybody else," Gao Fei said with a wry smile.
Zhao Dahai glared, "So you just cling to , right?!"
"Uh... don't put it so harshly... I'm not clinging to you, I'm asking for your help..."
"Get lost! I'm telling you for the last ti, I won't help you, and I don't have the capacity to help you. You'd better stop bothering , or I'm really going to lose my patience with you!"
"Brother..."
"Scram!"
"Ten thousand athysts."
"...What do you an?"
"Help , and I'll give you ten thousand athysts," Gao Fei said, enunciating every word.
Zhao Dahai frowned, looking Gao Fei up and down, "You, co up with ten thousand athysts?"
Not imdiately rejecting ant he was tempted! Gao Fei's lips curved slightly upward, forming a crescent arch, "You should have heard the saying: 'You can't judge a book by its cover!'"
"Alright, show the athysts then."
"I don't have them on ."
"You dare play tricks on !"
"No, no tricks! What I an is... I left in a hurry, didn't bring the athysts with , but you can rest assured, as soon as I see His Majestic Emperor, I'll give you the athysts. Not one will be missing, I keep my word, no going back on it."
