Chapter 288 – God’s Way Tower (2/2)

Only then did Chu Jingtian look down, speaking with embarrassment. “You’re so tall, little girl. It’s the first time I’ve seen a girl as tall as me…Oh, right, are you talking about Brother Ye?”

“Hmph! Exactly! I’m big brother master’s woman. Other than him, no one is allowed to stare at me like that!” Yan Gongruo said, her lips curled.

“Oh, oh.” It was the first time Chu Jingtian had met such a frightening girl. A long time ago his grandfather had told him not to try and reason with women like these.

“Heh heh. These two must be Brother Chu and Brother Ye. You are Master’s friends, so you are our friends too. My name is Gongluo, and I am two years your elder. If you aren’t against it, call me Third Brother. This is my little sister Gongruo. This is my little sister Gongruo. She’s a little young so she is quite forthright. Please don’t be offended.” The young man with a calm expression, Yan Gongluo, stepped up and spoke to them.

Although Chu Jingtian was often quite odd when it came to speaking or socializing, he liked interacting with people like this who spoke simple words. Immediately he grinned at him, “All right, all right, then I’ll call you Third Brother.” Leng Ya nodded at them as a way of acknowledgement.

“This is my grandfather, just call him Grandpa. These are my parents, you can call them Uncle Gen and Aunt Chunhua. We’re family members with Grandpa Dacong and Grandma Conghua. So in the future you can count on us like family.” Yan Gongluo said with a smile. He already knew Chu Jingtian and Leng Ya’s backgrounds from the past few days of pondering.

“These two are quite the characters, no wonder they’re Master’s friends.” Yan Qiusha giggled like a little woman. It was quite a stark contrast between her appearance as a farmer’s wife and the enchanting, clear ring of her laugh. Yan Duancang, who lived under his wife’s thumb, nodded emphatically in agreement, admiring Leng Ya and Chu Jingtian. Among the North Emperor’s offspring, young people of their age had quite amazing achievements, but they could only do so because they had the blood of the North Emperor and therefore were able to use the Heat Flare summons to draw out enormous strength that no normal person could even dare hope for. The fact that these two men had managed to achieve this level of strength meant that they needed to possess the fortitude for hard work, intelligence, and astonishing natural talent. Although at the moment they were were only showing a quarter of their full potential, if they worked hard at it they would have the strength to shake the heavens.

Chu Jingtian…while he greeted him, these warm faces gave him quite a friendly feeling. In a good mood, he even forgot about the fact that everyone was addressing Ye Wuchen as Master.

“Grandpa Dacong, is big brother Master still not here yet?” Yang Gongruo was already excited and full of anticipation when she arrived. When she spoke, her eyes kept glancing around.

“He never said he would come, and he never said he wouldn’t.” Yan Qinghong smiled mysteriously and said no more than that.

“Ah? How could he not show up! I begged Grandpa for so long to be able to get here, and all I wanted to do was see Master…I haven’t seen him in so long…” Yan Gongruo started to panic, and she spoke with a pitiful look on her face.

“Little Sister, didn’t you just see him a few days ago?” Yan Gongluo said, with a half-smile.

“Hmph! What are you saying? He hasn’t looked for me for three days. And when he came over three days ago he brought another woman with him…ah…a really pretty woman, too. He wanted me and Big Sis to take care of her…ah, he only knows how to pick on me.” Yan Gongruo said, both annoyed and sad.

Yan Qinghong and Yan Qingping glanced at one another with a smile, thinking the same thought. “Ah, how marvelous it is to be young!”

Yan Tianwei laughed out loud. “Little girl, stop messing around. Master has his own plans, and he will appear when he should. Are you really afraid that he’s running away from you?”

“Then…Grandpa, am I allowed to go up and fight this time?” Yan Gongruo could only shift the topic, asking the question with a dripping sweet voice.

Yan Tianwei glanced around. He only spoke in a low voice after confirming that no outsiders were here. “According to Master’s arrangements, this Magic Force meeting is a stage for us to establish our strength. In other words, we need to show what we have, in full force with nothing held back. When people hear our voices, they need to understand that we are as gods…” He paused, glancing over at Chu Jingtian and Leng Ya. The two of them seemed to be thinking. “So even though there are only seven of us here, among that four of us are the strongest. We brought your Third Brother to train him. As for you…you can just watch and amuse yourself. Whether or not you fight, is up to you.”

The intent behind his words was extremely clear–you’re just here for no other reason than to hang out and watch the show.

Unsurprisingly, Gongruo’s lips curled. “Grandpa, you’re not taking me seriously! I might not be as good as Big Bro or Big Sis, but I never slacked off when I was training with Grandma. She said that I’m pretty good too, and I can beat Little Hua and Little E already!”

“Little Hua is quite naturally feeble. Isn’t Little E only eleven?” Yan Gongluo murmured.
