Xu Shaoze alighted from the carriage and stepped in the Xu Manor, they were instantly greeted by waves of greetings of the servants of the manor.

"Welcome back, Master!"

The servants bowed 45 degrees in unison. There were a line of servants left and right. The family members also joined the line as they greeted the master of the house.

The servants wore plain white robes with chemise on top while blue long skirt that reaches the toes on the bottom. The family members also wore uniform robes, the males wore a deep blue robe with a golden pattern on it, the higher the position you have, the more golden pattern on your robe.

The females also wore light pinkish robes with a silver pattern, same as the males, the higher your position in the family, the more pattern you'll have in your robes. It symbolizes power and influence in the Xu Manor.

"Nn! You are dismissed!"

Xu Zhong Kui nodded slightly as he gestures his hands for them to leave. Then as if remembering something, he stopped the servants and called them.

"Wait! Take Little Ze to bathe and thoroughly clean him, give him the set of hanfu with a complete pattern on it!"

Xu Zhong Kui authoritatively ordered the servants then he glanced back at Xu Shaoze for confirmation, when he saw Xu Shaoze nod, he was relieved, It seems like Xu Shaoze is more accepting than he thought.

He was also aware that claiming to be his grandfather without a proof left his grandson a bit cautious towards him. Of course you need to be more aware and not trustful towards strangers, however It still left him a pang in his heart, Xu Zhong Kui felt the doubt of his grandson towards him and understood him for that but it still made his heart painful just thinking of it.

Xu Shaoze was clearly his grandson! To see his grandson's doubt, cautiousness, and untrustful towards him is just a bit too much...

The servants were shocked as they stared at the boy beside their master. His hair is messy, clothes were dirty and crumpled and looked greasy. He was like a beggar in the streets. However, the servants didn't dare to question their master's orders. They only nod and accepted the order.

"Yes, Master!"

The servants were respectful and lead the way on the bathroom. The leaving family members saw this scene and they stopped on their tracks. Confusion filled their minds, they started to question who that beggar is.

However, they don't dare voice out their thoughts as they can only wait. They then put the thought in their back of their heads and dispersed.

...

"Sir, please!"

The servants started to undress Xu Shaoze, at first Xu Shaoze backed away because he felt a little shy and embarrassed and because of the pestering of the servants, he gave in.

Xu Shaoze covered his lower part with only a towel as he made way in the bathroom. Inside the room, there is a large hot spring bathhouse, there were stone statues in the shape of tigers that releases hot water.

Xu Shaoze closed the door tightly as he doesn't let anyone enter with him. Then, he jumped into the large bathtub and took his time to clean himself.

After some time feeling revitalized again, Xu Shaoze left the room, put on the towel to cover his lower part and opened the door.

The servants were nervously looking at the bathhouse, they were ordered by the master to thoroughly clean the boy however the boy shut them out and never let anyone in. They didn't dare enter recklessly as they remembered the hanfu that they were told to give it to the boy, It was the highest position with the highest authority, a complete golden pattern just like the master.

They were afraid that they will offend this future little master of theirs and will cost them to lose their job or even to lose their life at extremity cases, that's why they didn't force themselves on Xu Shaoze.

Then suddenly they saw the door opened, their gaze looks straight at the door. The servants' faces turned bright red in an instant, they saw the boy n.a.k.e.d, with only a towel to hide his lower part however his face was so handsome like a sculpture, chiseled very carefully.

Unlike the image of Xu Shaoze earlier that he was like a beggar with a crumpled, creased and dirty clothes he had and a messy hair, This time, his hair flows down to his back, his eyelashes were long and eyes were dark but glitters like a star in the sky, his face was neat and so handsome, his muscles were toned, his six-pack muscle bulging as droplets of water rolled down on his body, exuding the vibrant aura of a man.

In the entrance door, Xu Shaoze held a dry tower in his hand while lightly patting his wet hair, his face was so charming instantly catching the heart of the servants.

The servants were usually females so their faces turned red when they saw the heavenly scene and they made a loud gulping sound as they drooled. Their eyes can't shake off of the body of the young man on the entrance of the door.

"Uhh... I-Is everything's okay? ... What's happening?"

Oblivious to the thoughts and emotions of the female servants, Xu Shaoze only frowns as he furrowed his brows.

"Can I get my clothes?"

Instantly, the servants were in chaos. Everyone fought with each other as to who is going to offer the set of Hanfu on the young prince. It was really chaotic and messy.

After some time of fighting, one of the female servants won. She took the set of Hanfu and brought it over with a beet red face for Xu Shaoze to wear.

Xu Shaoze wants to grab the set of clothes that were prepared for him and dress up by himself but then the female servant took back her arm with an alarmed face.

"What's the meaning of this?"

The servant hurriedly explained with a lowered head.

"Respected Sir, please let your servant dress you up as this falls under our responsibility!"

Xu Shaoze shrugged his shoulders and let them do what is their responsibilities as a servant even though he is embarrassed and a little shy, he tried to endure it as he stretched his arms sideways.

The female servant rejoiced to see his actions, her face lit up with a tinge of redness on it as she hurriedly dressed the young prince. The servants on the side gnashed their teeth, jealousy filled their eyes.

After dressing up and tying his hair, Xu Shaoze left the bathhouse and went in a room. Naturally, the servants followed behind as others lead the way. Once Xu Shaoze stepped in the room, he saw a well lit and well decorated large room. It was so beautiful and graceful he felt luxury wash over him.

He toured inside with his hands behind his back, his posture was straight like a rod. Suddenly, when he passed by a mirror, he stopped on his tracks as he stepped back hurriedly catching the glimpse of his reflection. He froze and s.u.c.k.e.d a cold air.

In his reflection, he saw a handsome face, his hair was so long and tied up in a knot. Xu Shaoze instantly reaches to his face with disbelief plastered on it. He felt his face for some time then cursed loudly.

"Damn! So that's why earlier... the servants...."

Xu Shaoze didn't manage to finish his sentence as his face turned red like a tomato, he realized what happened earlier and why are the servant's reaction were so weird. 'So it was like this.'

Xu Shaoze thought that with his average look from the past he would not gather the attention of others. He didn't think that his face would have a great difference between the past Xiao Ze and the current Xu Shaoze.

Instantly, he was angered as he stared at the mirror.

"Damn! Was I always this good looking!? I should've died sooner! tsk, what a wasted life!"

'Maybe when God showered handsomeness on the world, he took 99.9% of it. Where's the 0.01% of handsomeness you say? On his feet.'

Xu Shaoze complained in front of the mirror, his narcissism kicked in when the door suddenly swung open and a servant hurriedly rushes in.

"Young master, the Master is looking for you!"

The servants lined up and then bowed their hands were on their naval area as they bowed giving a sense of nobility and a show of proper etiquette of a servant.

"Oh, okay. Lead the way then!"
