Chapter 591 Tang Bohu Points at Qiu Xiang
Suzhou.

A curved bridge, with tourists hurrying to and fro.

In the water towns of Jiangnan, a handsome and upright figure in a long robe is holding a book, his gaze fixed on the ripples of sunlight on the water's surface.

His brow furrowed slightly, whether from the content of the book that troubled him or from the hurried crowds that disturbed the tranquility of the place.

The ladies and wives who passed by couldn't help but look at him with concern, wishing they could reach out and soothe his worries.

This person is Tan Wenjie.

This was his last time traveling before the system update was complete, and he chose "Flirting Scholar," a game with almost no rewards, as a relaxing vacation.

Because of his outstanding looks, he has been subjected to the scrutiny of the eyes for nearly two incense sticks' worth of time. Young women and married women make no attempt to hide their admiration for his good looks, while the men stare at him as if he were a male enemy.

Tan Wenjie has always maintained his aloof persona. If he accidentally exudes charm and attracts a large number of women to rush onto the bridge, the bridge might collapse due to excessive weight.

Recalling the plot of "Flirting Scholar"... well, there's nothing to reminisce about. It's just that Tang Bohu pretends to be a fool to fool others, shows off his skills, gets slapped in the face, and finally wins the heart of the beauty.

Fortunately, he wasn't into the Qiu Xiang type, so there was no conflict of interest between them, and they treated this world as a tourist attraction.

Of course, nothing is certain, and who knows which version of Tang Bohu it is?

Just as Tan Wenjie was holding a book and pretending to be deep in thought, four good-for-nothing lads were secretly watching him from a distance.

They were known as the Four Great Talents of Jiangnan, skilled in eating, drinking, gambling, whoring, and bullying men and women; they were practically the epitome of all vices.

Of course, some people have talent; once a reputation is established, one must possess genuine skills and abilities.

"Brother Tang, what do you think?" Zhu Zhishan, one of the Four Great Talents, asked in a low voice. "According to the intelligence I received, this bastard arrived here an hour ago. He's well-read and handsome, which conflicts with our roles."

"Hey, Brother Zhu, that's not right of you." Tang Bohu patted Zhu Zhishan on the shoulder. "He's just one person, there are four of us, and four of us aren't as handsome as him?"

"..."X3
The three of them didn't want to talk; they looked like pigs, but they weren't actually pigs.

In the past, walking down the street could attract screams from others, which was inseparable from their fondness for groping. If you were diligent in doing so, you could even be chased by men and women all over the street, experiencing the feeling of being a superstar.

Rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, etc., are just a manifestation of fans' fervent emotions and should not be taken seriously at all.

As for their appearance... they can choose to be stubborn, but they've already lost in terms of momentum.

The reason why the Four Great Talents of Jiangnan have been able to survive to this day is directly related to their wise choice to avoid the limelight of truly handsome men.

Avoid those you can't compare to, suppress those who are similar, and only keep a group of supporting passersby by your side. At that time, they will be the most outstanding handsome men and talented men.

But the man in the distance was handsome and looked very cultured. There was no other way for the four of them to rush up together and beat him to a pulp.

Tang Bohu shook his head slightly. "If I'm not mistaken, he's holding the book upside down."

He tried so poorly to pretend to be a scholar. Even if the other person was just as handsome as him, he was still far superior in terms of personal qualities.

A man's handsome appearance is only a temporary facade; only his inner qualities can reveal his true charm.

This mere good-for-nothing is nothing to Tang Bohu.

He came today because the three great lechers said there would be beautiful women, and as a dashing and handsome scholar, Tang Bohu had to come and join in the fun.

Even if he looks down on those ordinary women, it would be good if he could help raise the standards for choosing a partner among young women, so that no ugly or deformed person could pretend to be a talented man.

Moreover, Zhu Zhishan kept saying that there was a beautiful maid in the Hua family, with a pretty face, a good figure, and an outstanding temperament, named Qiu Xiang.

Tang Bohu had few other hobbies in his life: playing cards, practicing martial arts, bragging, painting, writing poetry, and chasing women... There were too many to count in a short time.

If you're chasing girls, how can you leave yourself out?

"Qiu Xiang is here!"

"where?"

"There, in the Washington D.C."

"Such a long queue, what a waste!" Tang Bohu sneered.

Distributing porridge and other alms was utterly disgusting. Sending so many servants and maids to deliver steamed buns was just for show.

There are more people promoting the good deeds done in Washington, D.C. than people distributing food and drinks.

"Look, look! That's Qiu Xiang!"

"Qiu Xiang?" Tang Bohu looked over and was greatly disappointed. "She's just average."

He's already married eight women of that caliber.

It doesn't evoke any feeling of instant attraction, and even if you were to actually soak in it, it would be a reluctant experience.

"Qiu Xiang!" someone suddenly shouted.

The servants of the Washington mansion, who were distributing steamed buns, instinctively turned their heads.

"Hiss—!" The four great talents of Jiangnan leaned back in unison.

Further away in the crowd, some people were still cursing under their breath.

Judging by the appearance of these servants in the Washington mansion, they'll never be able to leave in this lifetime. Their looks are just too aggressive and could easily scare children.

Among a group of misfits, Qiu Xiang's serene face looked so charming that it made people's hearts flutter, their minds wander, and they couldn't control themselves.

Tang Bohu admitted that he was moved.

Indeed, beauty is always revealed through comparison.

"How about it? Isn't it great?" Zhu Zhishan winked.

"Yes, that's right." Tang Bohu nodded. She was so beautiful that she perfectly matched his aesthetic. If he didn't make a move to pursue her, once his expectations and novelty wore off, they would just become strangers.

Just as the group huddled together to discuss how to start a conversation with Qiu Xiang and, incidentally, develop a relationship beyond friendship, the situation changed again.

The four maids, including Qiu Xiang, who seemed aloof, actually walked towards Tan Wenjie together.

"Wait, what's going on? Why is Qiu Xiang hitting on that jerk who faked his education?!"

Being handsome doesn't make you any special.

Qiu Xiang was the girl he had his eye on, and he was practically throwing himself at her, which made him lose face.

……

Tan Wenjie glanced at the four fragrant women, Chunxiaqiudong, who were walking over, and then looked Qiuxiang up and down for a while before finally drawing a conclusion.

It's decided, I'm not interested.

No matter how beautiful Qiu Xiang is, she is just a servant girl in the Hua family. Moreover, even if she were as beautiful as an angel, she wouldn't be worth pursuing, let alone that she isn't that beautiful.

Unexpectedly, instead of looking at Qiu Xiang, Qiu Xiang walked over with three of her girlfriends.

Moreover, he recognized three of the four people.

There's no need to say more about Qiu Xiang; it's the Gong Li version.

Xia Xiang, a seasoned expert in foraging for wild vegetables, and the tragic Wang Baochuan.

Fuyuka, I met her once in City Hunter's Fukimaru. She was with Yako, and the most eye-catching thing about her was... I need to control my gaze, there are too many people here, or I'll be mistaken for a hooligan.

"Young master~" Dongxiang's eyes were completely fixed on Tan Wenjie. He was so handsome, it would be a waste not to find a reason to strike up a conversation.

But Qiu Xiang frowned slightly.

She treasures poetry, admires cultured people, and can't stand others pretending to be scholars.

Qiu Xiang wasn't going to give her any face at all, and said directly, "You're holding your book upside down."

"Thank you for reminding me, young lady. I just picked up this book casually; I don't enjoy reading."

Before Qiu Xiang could say anything more, Tan Wenjie turned and left.

He was actually more interested in Ru Hua than Qiu Xiang.

Beauty without distinctive features means ordinariness, but ugliness with uniqueness is different. Ru Hua, who only appeared in a few short scenes, was more memorable than Qiu Xiang.

Qiu Xiang turned to her best friend and tugged at her: "Dong Xiang, if we don't go back soon, the madam will punish us."

She also looked down on men who pretended to read books and only showed off their pretty faces.

Too superficial, merely scratching the surface.

"Oh." Dongxiang reluctantly looked away.

But then they saw Tan Wenjie, who had just been so dismissive of the four beauties of Huafu, walk toward a burly woman on the shore.

Dongxiang, who was about to turn around, immediately stopped. She wanted to see what would happen next. But to her surprise, the woman who turned around had a full beard and was even picking her nose.

Is this the type of guy handsome? I wonder if it's too late to grow a beard now.

Just as Dongxiang and her group of women were lost in thought, Tan Wenjie suddenly stepped back to create some distance.

"Snapped!"

Whirlwind Flying Kick.

With his left foot on the ground, he quickly raised his right leg and delivered a whip-like side kick, striking Ruhua's face squarely in the side.

After one kick, it spun like a top, disappearing into the water with a tiny splash.

"Someone jumped into the river!"

"Save people."

"What a cool flying kick!" Dongxiang said, striking a pose like Xi Shi holding her heart, her eyes sparkling with hearts.

Hopeless!
Qiu Xiang shook her head inwardly. A person who would casually kick someone into the river was definitely not a kind person.

Unlike Tang Bohu, whom she admires, Tang Bohu would never judge a book by its cover. He would offer help and might even write a poem to record what happened that day.

……

At the same time, Tang Bohu had just arrived nearby and was preparing to meet Qiu Xiang for the first time by chance when a figure descended from the sky.

"Pfft!"

It plunged into the water, splashing up a huge spray.

It looks like she's a woman.

Hearing someone shouting for help, he almost instinctively used his martial arts skills: Snowwalking Without a Trace, Water-Walking Skill, Crossing the River on a Reed, and Flying Back and Forth with his Left Foot on His Right Foot, easily scooping the person up in a princess carry.

Its body rose higher, and it flew through the air on the wind.

A crowd gathered around, their voices filled with amazement.

What a perfect couple!

Hearing the cheers around him, Tang Bohu shook his head helplessly. This was the trouble of being a handsome man. If you accidentally revealed even a little bit of your charm, you would attract a crowd to cheer and shout.

If Qiu Xiang sees that you took the initiative to save someone, she will definitely love you more.

She really should tone down her charm a bit.

Tang Bohu lowered his head and met a pair of affectionate eyes and the face of a man with a thick beard.

"You saved me, I want to repay you with my body," Ruhua said, picking her nose with her little finger.

Its head nestled in his arms.

"I rely on!"

Tang Bohu instinctively let go and punched the man hard in the face.

The two landed.

But Tang Bohu was still not satisfied, so he grabbed Ruhua and swung her around like he was smashing a sack.

Thump, thump, thump—a flurry of smashing.

From left to right, throw the attack into the air and follow up with a flying kick, then raise your knee to kick the opponent away before they land, maintaining the combo.

After letting go, Tang Bohu jumped up again and kicked and hopped around with all his might.

"Whoosh, whoosh!"

After his violent outburst, Tang Bohu leaned on his knees, panting, and casually wiped the sweat from his forehead.

When he stood up and turned to look at Qiu Xiang, he found that she was also looking at him.

As expected, by personally taking action to eliminate evil and uphold justice, he easily attracted Qiu Xiang's attention.

Tang Bohu was secretly pleased with himself. His charm always seemed to show itself unintentionally, and the other women whispered among themselves, their eyes occasionally falling on him.

The discussion was far more heated than the one with the man who had just pretended to be a scholar, which could be interpreted as the man being more popular than the other.

"you!"

Qiu Xiang's eyes met Tang Bohu's, and she was startled. Could it be that he was going to attack her in public?

The other party is very skilled in violence; if my arms and legs are grabbed, I'll definitely end up with a pig's head.

Qiu Xiang shouted at the top of her lungs, "Help!"

Tang Bohu: "..."

It turns out they thought he was the bad guy; it was definitely a misunderstanding.

“Miss, you’ve misunderstood. If you just look down at his beard, you’ll know he’s definitely not a woman and has ulterior motives.”

Qiu Xiang glanced down at Ru Hua, whose face had been swollen and bruised like a pig's head after being brutally beaten, making her unrecognizable. Then she looked at Tang Bohu, who was approaching her, and quickly nodded to show that she believed him.

The other party is too violent. If you don't believe them, the woman on the ground will be your fate.

Fortunately, the servants from the Washington Mansion arrived quickly.

Safe.

Tang Bohu also stopped and did not approach without permission.

Give the other person some breathing space; distance makes the heart grow fonder.

"Hurry up!" Qiu Xiang whispered.

Under the protection of the Washington servants, they quickly left.

"Miss Qiuxiang!" Tang Bohu shouted.

However, Qiu Xiang walked with her head down and didn't look back at him at all.

Watching Qiu Xiang's departing figure, he sighed inwardly, "This woman, I want her!"

She has a unique temperament and is very understanding. She only had to explain a few words to convince the other person completely, which shows that she is very opinionated.

There aren't many women like that anymore; he only has eight in his household.

I must find a way to infiltrate Washington, D.C., and then seduce him.

So is there any way to win Qiu Xiang's heart?

……

"What's your surname, sir?"

"My surname is Tan."

The person who initiated the conversation with Tan Wenjie was Madam Hua. Just now, after he beat up Ru Hua, he ran into Madam Hua who was leaving after offering incense.

"Young Master Tan's martial arts skills are truly superb. May I ask who your master is?"

"This is a bit much," Tan Wenjie said thoughtfully. "It should be about absorbing the strengths of many schools of thought."

He knows a little bit of everything, and he's absolutely humble.

"What a wonderful idea to learn from the strengths of many schools of thought!" Madam Hua extended a warm invitation. "Why don't we meet at the Hua residence?"

“This…” Tan Wenjie nodded, “Since Madam Hua invited me, I dare not refuse.”

With food and drink to go, only a fool wouldn't agree.

Madam Hua nodded in satisfaction: "That's good. I admire young talents very much, and I also practice martial arts. We can discuss things with each other."

He's handsome, skilled in martial arts, and single. If one of the four seasons (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter) could marry him, it would improve the relationship between the two families and greatly improve the Hua family's situation.

She has truly devoted herself to this family.

Madam Hua: "What do you think of Qiu Xiang?"

"Ok?"

A girl is given to you right from the start!
