Chapter 220: Chapter 216: The Secret of Red Cloud Mountain Peak

“You’re really something, even the guide from Red Cloud Mountain knows you?” Brother Xu scrutinized Tang Luo, speaking in disbelief.

The deeds of affluent heirs are often hyped, a strategy employed by their families to build up their reputations.

A person’s prestige and virtue are accumulated through constant retelling and eventually solidify into tangible weight. Once the heir comes of age, any position he holds seems rightly his, preventing any disparity between virtue and rank.
