Book 2 - Fame SpreadsChapter 31.1 The Treasured Colt12 Mar 2017Note:4/5

A snow-white kitty, which had its whole body covered in long fur, was looking at the few individuals in the main hall with its gla.s.s ball-like big eyes, appearing somewhat timid.

The few individuals in the main hall had long since noticed this small kitten hidden in the corner but hadn't paid any attention to it. Although their faces seemed quite tranquil, the anxiety in their eyes couldn't be masked.

Suddenly, a sound of footsteps came from outside. Following which, six individuals entered together.

Seeing one of the entered individuals, that kitty immediately rushed forth and directly leapt into He Yitian's bossom.

He Yiming looked at his eldest brother with his eyes wide opened, wondering when he'd begun to foster pets.

He Yitian rather embarra.s.sedly smiled and softly said, ”This is your sister-in-law's precious.”

He Yiming immediately understood that it had actually come from the Cheng family.

The eldest sister-in-law's status in the family was indeed extraordinary. This was not merely because He Yitian was the eldest grandson of the eldest son. More importantly, the dowry sent by her parent's home, which would be the Cheng family, was so ample that even the few old men in the family couldn't help but see her in a favourable light.

As such, not to mention, fostering a kitten for amus.e.m.e.nt, even if she were to foster a tiger, the clan members would turn a blind eye to it.

There were three individuals in the hall. Apart from the manor's old servant that was in-charge of handling the affairs in the manor, there were two individuals that appeared to be carrying the wind and dust of the road with them. One was a forty or fifty year old man while the other was rather young, about twenty-five years old, similar to He Yitian.

As soon as He Wude entered the main hall, that middle-aged man immediately stood up, hurriedly walked up to He Wude, knelt, and suddenly kowtowed heavily, ”Nephew pays his sincere respects to elder uncle He.”

He Wude first stared blankly- evidently not expecting such a response from the counterpart- before quickly reacting. He reached out with his hand and supported the latter, pulling him up, and said, ”Nephew Yuan is a guest from afar, no need to be this courteous.”

Yuan Earnest intended to heavily tap his head on the ground a few times. However, being supported by He Wude's arm, he could no longer do so.

However, inwardly, he was quite pleased. This old man was indeed as his father had said- a tenth layer expert. However, he wasn't too hopeful that his heavy kowtow would be enough to accomplish his wish this time around.

Standing up, he made a gesture with his hand and said, ”Liling, hurry up and meet your grandfather and brothers.”

That youngster quickly stepped forward. Followed by a slight hesitation, he heavily kowtowed like his father.

This time, He Wude didn't stop him, and instead stiffly accepted this ceremonial gesture. However, after accepting the gesture, he again reached out with his hand while saying, ”Yitian, Yiming, you two also come and meet your Yuan uncle.”

He Yiming inwardly cursed at his bad luck, but didn't dare defy and could only step forward with his eldest brother and kowtow.

Yuan Earnest's complexion slightly changed. Without even daring to speak, he immediately wished to reach out but was held in place by He Wude's arm. Without any better options, he could only stiffly accept the greeting. However, the smile on his face seemed to have become rather forced.

After both the sides paid their respects, He Wude talked straight to the point, ”Earnest, I've already read your esteemed father's letter. Our two families had cooperated with each other for many years. Today, since you're being bullied by outsiders, this old man will not watch with folded arms either.”

Yuan Earnest's gloomy appearance immediately disappeared without a trace, and his eyes brightened in astonishment. He'd evidently had not expected for the Lord Master He to agree this easily.

Actually, He Wude was rather lamenting inwardly. If it had happened before three years, when He Yiming had yet to emerge and He Quanxin had still not consumed the gold core and had advanced to the tenth layer, even if Yuan family's reward had been several times higher, he wouldn't have easily taken action.

After all, the opponent was a tenth layer expert. While confronting such an opponent, the slightest of slip-up might cost him his life.

However, merely within three years, there had been an enormous transformation.
