Young Master

It made no sense to the merchant why the noble youth would need to buy a noble title. Only very powerful clans would assign this many warriors just to protect their heir. The boy's father was influential enough for the boy to command so many Qi warriors. So, why would this boy be in need of a second noble title? However, Zhu kept his doubts to himself—he was being paid well for his role.

After several days of travel, they arrived in Huanghou, the place where a noble title could be purchased. After scouring the whole of Huanghou, they realized most of the noble titles had been sold long ago. Only a very few were left. Merchant Zhu proved his worth, and over the next few weeks, he introduced Wuyi to three clans willing to sell nobility. The first two only offered a lower status with minimal standing in the clan; this was not what Wuyi wanted.
