With Xiang Bei's arrogant and valiant personality, would he apologize

After being crushed without a doubt in the battle, facing Jiang Wang's bowed head was an acknowledgment of the strong. It was an acceptance of the outcome of defeat. Essentially, it was still an attitude of "might makes right."

As for boxing, he is now stronger than Zu Guangshu.

Here is the translation, keeping the HTML tags:

Will he be willing to apologize to Zuo Guangshu

If he refuses, then what will become of Jiang Wang's "reluctance to shame others"

Here is the text translated into English:

It just makes me think, it's actually quite nerve-wracking.

“This is my fault.” Han Li stepped forward proactively: “I’m willing…”

Xiangbei reached out and stopped him.

The Xiang family did not have a tradition of letting others take responsibility.

"Today, I, Xiang Bei, have been disrespectful, Your Excellency Xiao!"

Even though his formidable figure had dissipated, he was still the tallest and most imposing man present. He bowed to Zu Guangshu in apology.

Then she turned and left.

His friends also followed him and left.

Whether it's Han Li or anyone else, whether they are angry or worried, after Xiang Bei made his statement, they all tacitly accepted his decision—this can also give us a glimpse of Xiang Bei's leadership.

His will was strong enough to influence those around him. According to Chong Xuan Zhu Liang, who had once casually mentioned this to Chong Xuan Sheng, this was the foundation of a capable person.

As for someone like Xiang Bei, a master of strategy who surpasses mere martial prowess, one cannot simply judge their future based on individual combat strength, just as with Li Longchuan.

Losing repeatedly to Jiang Wang in duels doesn't mean his future is any less promising.

For military cultivators, being surrounded by a large army and killing someone of a higher rank is nothing unusual.

When Xiang Bei apologized, Zuo Guangyu remained silent.

Item Bei left, and Zuo Guangshu still remained silent.

>

When his elder brother, Zuo Guanglie, was alive, he had never faced any challenges. He once thought that the world was always so peaceful and harmonious.

After Left Guanglie's death, he was slowly getting used to these things — the probing and challenges from all sides. Xiang Bei's rudeness today was just a microcosm of it all.

As the grandfather of the Duke of Huai, he wouldn't use his authority to suppress these matters between the younger generation. And he was also very clear that he had to take on some responsibility for the current Zuo family... just like his elder brother did back then.

After their father died in battle, the elder brother, Zu Guanglie, rekindled the brilliance of the Zu family, emerging as a dazzling star, shining brightly like the sun.

On the night the sun went out, he had to shine his own light.

For this, he has already made a lot of effort.

He is facing these, he will solve them sooner or later.

Sometimes...

Sometimes he would really quietly think... If his older sibling were still around, what would it be like

He was a little afraid to look at Jiang Wang.

“Looks like business at this table isn’t going to work out.” Just then, a melodious female voice spoke.

With his words spoken, Qu Shunhua walked out.

Today, she is adorned in elegant attire and minimal makeup, exuding both grace and radiance. She is a different woman from the one I briefly encountered in the train carriage yesterday.

Although Jiang Wang and Xiang Bei's fight was short, it was certainly impactful enough for her to notice.

In fact, when she heard that Han Li had invited Xiang Bei to the table, she was ready to come out in person to greet Zuo Guangshu and Jiang Wang.

I didn't expect to run into him like that, and then a conflict actually arose... and it ended so quickly after.

In just a few steps, the sound of fighting reached his ears and then he saw Xiang Bei apologizing to Zuo Guangshu.

This Brother Jiang is really…

He is full of martial virtue.

The martial arts master, Jiang, saw the main person and apologized: "I apologize for delaying your business."

“It’s alright.” Qu Shunhua smiled. “At Huangliangtai, we always pay first and then eat. If they don't eat, I won't lose anything either.”

Jiang Wang found this sister-in-law to be quite interesting. With a casual move, she had already withdrawn her long sword from her hand.

A hole was left behind.

Qiu Shunchu glanced at him.

"This, I'll pay for it."

"We're all family, so what are you saying, Brother Jiang" Qu Shunhua smiled generously and said to Zuo Guangshu: "Why don't you invite Brother Jiang in"

For a long while, there was no sound. Left Guangxu seemed to wake from a dream: “Oh, oh!”

Tugging at Jiang Wang's sleeve, she walked towards Huang Liang Tai.

The ancient wooden door, with no inscription, led to a large stone on the opposite side after crossing the threshold.

Only then did Shi Shang see the words "Huang Liang".

The characters dance like butterflies, bringing a feeling of fluttering into a dream.

An indescribable sense of grace and ease.

After the long, rectangular stone is a small pond.

It is not the season for lotuses to bloom, yet there are lotuses blooming in the pond.

A pair of ducks are paddling on the water, while several fish swallow ripples.

>

On both sides are corridors elegantly constructed, circling the pool and extending in their own directions.

Zu Guangshi entered the door and immediately walked to the left. Jiang Wang followed behind, silently admiring the scenery.

Qu Shunhua shook her head and stepped forward, grabbing Zuo Guangshu's hand: "This way!"

Pulling him, they went in the wrong direction, straight to the right.

Zuo Guangshu's face flushed red all at once, he struggled, but couldn't break free.

“Didn’t I tell you From now on, when you come to Huang Liang Stage, just use the mat in this courtyard. It’s reserved for you and only you. Why are you wandering around”

"Forget, forgotten."

"What do you remember"

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Qu Shunhua grumbled a complaint, then remembered Jiang Wang coming. She immediately let go and turned back with a bright smile: "Brother Jiang, come with us."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

"Well, alright," Jiang Wang replied.

Zuo Guangshu deliberately paused, waiting for Jiang Wang to come over and walk alongside them before continuing forward.

Three walked along the corridor in parallel. Although Zu Guangshu didn't speak much, and although Qu Shunhua took good care of this "Brother Jiang," she would occasionally throw a topic over.

But Lord Jiang still very strongly felt his superfluity...

Two young people, although they had no private conversations. But in each other's eyes, a look of entanglement, a collision during movement, a knowing smile...

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Unlimited tacit understanding flows.

Though Jiang Wang was walking with them, he seemed isolated in another world.

It must be an illusion.

How could this illusion be produced

Just now I was still mighty, suppressing the Chu State prodigy Xiang Bei, standing up for my younger brother. As the Qingyangzi of Great Qi, how could I be superfluous

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

I am the guest of honor today!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

“Cough!” Jiang Wang looked around and said, “You guys at Huangliang Stage, with such a large place, you only open three tables daily”

Zuo Guangshu walked in the middle, Jiang Wang was on his left, sticking to the pond. Qu Shunhua was on his right, walking on the other side.

Her gaze first skimmed over Left Guangshu's face like a dragonfly, then she explained to Brother Jiang: "Our Huangliang Yimeng restaurant only has one head chef. The other cooks are just assistants. With three tables open every day, he's already overwhelmed."

Moreover, pigs, dogs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, fish, vegetables, fruits... all ingredients are home-grown and raised. They're all cultivated right here in the Huang Liang Stage. Many environments require spells to control them. So don't look at how big the place is, but there are only so many places to sit down and eat.

That's quite insightful.

It's the first time I've heard that a restaurant would keep space to produce its ingredients.

This is the capital of Chu!

Is land free

Jiang Wang really wanted to ask how much Dao Yuan Stone it would cost to have a meal here, but after thinking about it, he held back.

If Qu Shunhua truthfully answered, what should this elder brother do Should he pay the debt or not

When attending someone's banquet, don't worry about the price, that's tacky!

The Qu family is no less prominent than the Zou family, and they are also a top-tier aristocratic family in Chu. How could they be stained by vulgarity

Three people walked back through the corridor, across a stone bridge, around a vegetable garden, chatting and laughing, until they reached a secluded courtyard.

Chu Yu stood before the gate, waiting for a long time. He was a young man with an imposing and valiant air. His attire was simple by Chu state standards, consisting only of a martial uniform, a waist knife, and nothing else but cleanliness; not even a jade ornament adorned his body.

"Brother Jiang!" Upon seeing Jiang Wang, he immediately greeted him: "The elegance I saw of you on the Guanhe Terrace is unforgettable. Hearing that Miss Qu and Guangshu were hosting a feast for you today, I dared to intrude. Please don't take offense!"

"Your esteemed presence is truly radiant. I presume you are Chu Yu" Jiang Wang replied enthusiastically, "To meet you today is my fortune. I have long admired your reputation!"

“Before the Yellow River's leader, who dares to claim fame” Chu Yu bowed in deference.

The two of them were being polite, exchanging pleasantries, each praising the other, it was finally like a normal conversation.

Only Zuo Guangshu silently observed Jiang Wang, afraid that he would find a reason to throw a punch at any moment and test Chu Yu's skills.

“Come in and speak.” Qu Shunhua said, “What are we going to talk about at the door”

Then everyone laughed and walked into the courtyard together.

There is a tree in the courtyard, and a green bird in a cage hangs from its branches.

The bird, with its azure feathers and crimson crest, saw a human approaching and chirped three times softly, the melody was sweet and moving, as if welcoming a guest.

Walking along the stone path in the courtyard, you come to a two-story building.

Simple in structure, yet full of thoughtful details.

The tone was pale, but not cold.

"What is the name of this building" Jiang Wang asked.

Qū Shùn huá spoke softly, "See me."

Left Guangshu's eyes were soft, and he didn't say a word.

Jiang Wang was stunned for a moment before she understood the name. She couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at him closely.

There was a couplet in front of the gate, engraved on a wooden plaque. The characters were clear and distinct, with a feeling of gradual narration.

On the left it is said: "Using snow as paper, ten thousand miles of rivers and mountains become a painting."

Right said: When one smiles, it is spring. A lifetime of affection is for this flower.

The horizontal inscription: Seeing words is like seeing myself.

Jiang Wang was struck by the immense, passionate emotion in this line.

This is a courtyard exclusive to Zuo Guangshu in Huangliangtai. It's a small building specially built for Zuo Guangshu...

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

See my floor.

Come see me.

This floor is mine.

>

This line is mine.

Every word is from my heart.

The romance of daughters and sons from the Chu land, it all lies here, in this pavilion.

Well, Guangshu, for this marriage, your elder brother has agreed on your behalf.

Hire a husband, make arrangements for the dowry, bow before the altar, give birth immediately!

Looking at Zuo Guangshu, Jiang Wang gazed with the depth of feeling one might have for a beloved child.

Left Guangshu felt very uncomfortable.

He thought for a moment, wanting to spare his older brother some face, and sent him a voice transmission: "Which character don't you recognize"

Jiang Wang ground his teeth and stepped inside.

He really wanted to take out *The History of Swords and the Sea* from his storage box, one by one, and throw them in front of Zuo Guangshu, to show this kid how knowledgeable Brother Jiang was.

But after all, his sister-in-law was still there. As Xiao Guangshu's in-law, he had to be gracious, have style, and be able to hold his own.

So, the group entered the building.

This "see my building" layout is ingenious.

The first-floor hall was very spacious and devoid of any superfluous decorations. There were only murals painted on all four walls.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The painting depicts the four seasons and a magnificent landscape.

The phrase "Ten thousand miles of rivers and mountains are all within a painting" is found in the couplet "Darkly matched."

Jiang Wang looked left and right, in that romantic and exaggerated brushstrokes, all he saw was passionate expression.

In the center of the hall stood a wooden spiral staircase, ascending gracefully to the second floor.

A group of people thus ascended the steps and arrived at the true dining area of this building.

All four sides of the curtain were drawn back, and the view was very expansive.

Here, looking around, you can almost take in the entire scenery of Huangliangtai.

There are lotus leaves rippling with the waves, there are fruits piled high on branches, and there are flocks of chickens and ducks...

A gentle breeze came, bringing a sense of freedom and liberation.

"What a great place!" said Jiang Wangzan.

In the center, there was a round table made of cold fragrant wood, with five chairs arranged evenly around it.

A few people sat down one after another.

Left Guangshu sat beside Qu Shunhua, and Jiang Wang sat on the other side of Left Guangshu.

“This is the best place in Huangliangtai. Guangshu doesn't often go out, and I always wanted to come but couldn't. Today, I'm able to come thanks to Brother Jiang!” Chu Yu laughed heartily and sat down on Jiang Wang’s right.

There were five chairs in total, with only the space between Chu Yu and Qu Shunhua left empty. Of course, this was reserved for the first beauty of the Great Chu.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Here, with an open expanse all around and a round table, there's no real distinction between who holds priority.

Chu Yu's initiative to start a conversation, Jiang Wang was not arrogant.

A group of people sat down, and there was a very harmonious atmosphere.

"To have received praise from Brother Jiang, our Huangliang Stage would be well-known even in the State of Qi!" Qu Shunhua said with a smile, then instructed the attendant standing beside him, "Tell the kitchen to bring out the dishes."

Jiang Wang glanced at the empty seat and couldn't help but ask, "Isn't there still one person missing"

"Night Girl, ah." Qu Shunhua smiled. "I told her the time, but she always loves to be late. Today, I guess she'll be late too."

Jiang Wang, out of basic politeness, politely said: "Then please wait a moment."

"Qi Shunhua waved his hand, signaling the attendant to leave. He then turned to Jiang Wang and said: "Brother Jiang, you are our guest today, so there's no reason for you to wait. She arrived late, it is her own doing, please have some leftover food."

Jiang Wang thought to himself, Qu Shunhua and that night Lan'er had a good relationship.

But he didn't say anything more.

After all, even Lord Jiang wouldn't want to wait for others. A courteous word was already putting on airs because he was in Chu territory and trying to be polite.

Never mind who's the top beauty, when it comes to eating and drinking, whoever is faster gets it.

However, a voice like the wind moving across a qin string, pleasantly fell upon her ears.

>Who wants to eat the leftovers

>

When the sound first arose, it was still downstairs. By the time it settled, a beautiful woman in fine robes had appeared on the second floor.

It's too contradictory.

You can almost still hear the sound of her footsteps ascending the stairs, yet she has arrived before you.

Her features were so perfectly formed, not a flaw to be found.

Her beauty is intense and dazzling, possessing a radiant glow.

Here's the translation of your content:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Her eyes seemed to look through you, yet also past you, her gaze circling before finally landing on Qu Shunhua.

A smile like the arrival of spring.

"You're not afraid of ruining Huang Liang Tai's reputation"

Ps: Seeing these characters as if I were writing them myself, this couplet was something I wrote for myself a year ago. I did consider writing a new one, but thinking about spending too much time on just a few characters, I probably wouldn't be able to repay my debts in time. So, I took the lazy way out and reused it.
