Royal Edict for Kucha. Running at the Sight of It.

　　Everything can be beaten…

　　Except brown nosing.

　　Every time Jing w.a.n.gsun opened his mouth, it was "Big Brother w.a.n.g."

　　If they were to consider seniority from Jin w.a.n.gsun's father onward, w.a.n.g Xiongqiao is Jin w.a.n.gsun's senior. However, Jin w.a.n.gsun is the reigning master of Gold and Silver Sect. That is a prestigious status, so for him to continually address him as a big brother, w.a.n.g Xiongqiao had to accept or he'd look petty.

　　The injury Old Master Xie suffered wasn't severe. His worse ailment was actually expending too much internal energy and having his hair pulled out. He needed to recuperate for a few days, as well as have his grandchildren surround him and comfort him daily. It wasn't so bad that he needed to hold a grudge for it.

　　However, w.a.n.g Xiongqiao formed preconceptions of Jin w.a.n.gsun based on the rumours about him riding a horse in the Capital and acting as a tyrant. He believed Jin w.a.n.gsun to be a man that disregarded the law and even dared to disregard the Dark Robe Sect. He couldn't contain his anger, and hence, wanted to give him a lesson. He honestly didn't think that Jin w.a.n.gsun had achieved such a high degree of proficiency in martial arts and wasn't as lowly as he imagined. As a member of a renowned clan, w.a.n.g Xiongqiao knew very well the importance of a friend.

　　Jing w.a.n.gsun was a young master of a sect that was part of the Seven Champion White Princes. If Gold and Silver Sect allied with the w.a.n.g and Xie families, it would only benefit them. After getting to know him better, w.a.n.g Xiongqiao became a lot more courteous with him.

　　w.a.n.g Xiongqiao anger had been slightly soothed. He cleared his throat and said, "Master Jin, you possess vast knowledge of martial arts. I am greatly impressed."

　　"Please do not say that. You are a senior in the martial world. w.a.n.gsun still has a lot to learn from you. Dark Robe Sect is also a member of the Seven Champion White Princes just as Gold and Silver Sect is. Dark Robe Sect has a long standing history and is our senior, so we should be learning from you."

　　Jin w.a.n.gsun mentioned a key point. As such, w.a.n.g Xiongqiao had no choice but to respond humbly, "You are too modest, Master Jin. Gold and Silver Sect is among the wealthiest in the world and possesses a vast array of martial arts. My Dark Robe Sect disciples are busy with work and focus very little on martial arts. That Empty Palms move of yours just now, as well as the movement art you used to counter me are truly rare skills to behold. I would say that you're more skilled than the former master. It should be I, who learns from you."

　　"You are being too distant, Brother w.a.n.g. We should just address each other as bothers. There is no need to be calling each other Master this and Master that. It makes us feel like strangers."

　　"Hmm…" While w.a.n.g Xiongqiao is an elder of the Dark Robe Sect, he is far from a leader post in the Seven Champion White Princes. It wasn't hard for him to fight as he just did, but he was somewhat scared of striking up relations.h.i.+ps, "In that case, umm, Brother Dagang, I hope you look after me henceforth."

　　"Who you calling Big Vat?!!!"

　　'If I wasn't holding my snapped belt together, I'd give you a spinning slap!!'

　　Jin w.a.n.gsun almost pa.s.sed out from anger. Besides his reputation of being a tyrant rapidly circulating within three days of coming to the Capital, he also managed to earn himself the nickname, 'Big Golden Vat.' After circulating around for some time, people actually began to say his surname was Jin, named w.a.n.gsun, and courtesy name was Dagang, meaning 'Big Vat!'

　　Seriously, he was furious.

　　'It's all because of that blather mouth, Ming Feizhen, giving me a nickname from his a.s.s!'

　　'Also, you're a b.a.s.t.a.r.d w.a.n.g Xiongqiao! I can't believe you couldn't tell!'

　　However, it took a lot of effort to get friendly with him. Jin w.a.n.gsun wasn't going to shoot himself in the foot, so he maintained his refined smile.

　　"My courtesy name is Kucha, Ku character for dry leaves, and Cha character for tea. We feel as though we're old friends, despite our first meeting. Your devotion and dedication to researching martial arts impresses me. As brothers, we should get to know each other better."

　　w.a.n.g Xiongqiao didn't dare to address him by his full name, so it was, indeed, more appropriate to address him by his courtesy name, "Brother Kucha, besides coming here today to… erm, exchange pointers with you, this stupid brother of yours also came to send you an edict on behalf of His Majesty."

　　The Emperor never mentioned his mistakes. All he did was have him grounded at home. Jin w.a.n.gsun didn't expect w.a.n.g Xiongqiao to bring a royal edict today. He suddenly felt perturbed. He injured the Elder Statesman. Everybody was from the martial world, so they went about according to the rules of the martial world, and thus, could also resolve the incident according to the rules of the martial world. However, injuring the Emperor couldn't just be brushed off. He was fine with any punishment, but not something that would impact his marriage to the Princess.
