The whole event started over a trivial matter.
A Bu Family disciple and those from other aristocratic families in Bu Wu City were drinking and were captivated by the beauty of a songstress. Both the Bu Family disciple and another aristocratic disciple expressed their amorous feelings towards the songstress, each of them intending to buy her freedom.
It took a considerable sum to buy her freedom and thus the two disciples began piling silver notes onto the table, competing to see who had more money and hence the right to claim her.
Eventually, the accumulated sum was more than enough to buy ten songstresses, let alone one.
One of the aristocratic disciples admitted defeat, unable to surpass the other in wealth. In frustration, they broke out into a brawl, resulting in the entire floor getting wrecked and both of them nursing severe injuries.
