Chapter 177 - Elder Universe (2/2)

“Hmph, if n.o.body did, you wouldn’t have acted so obviously earlier.”

‘Did I overdo it just now? Why didn’t I feel like I did…’ Ou Yangming rubbed his nose.

Ni Yinghong asked, “Was it the three great ancestors?”

Ou Yangming smiled bitterly. This lady is too smart. I can’t hide anything from her.’

Despite that, Ni Yinghong suddenly grinned. “Looks like the great ancestors are really worried about you, but even if they didn’t ask, I would’ve brought you to meet my master too.”

“Why?” Ou Yangming was surprised.

“Because of the governor!” Ni Yinghong sighed. “You offended Governor Deng Xiyuan. Although he’s a fake Supreme Great Ancestor, he’s one of the top-notch powerhouses, after all. If he wants to cause trouble for you, there’s nothing you can do.”

She continued after she glanced at Ou Yangming, “But if my master is fond of you, as long as he says something about it, Deng Xiyuan wouldn’t dare to plot anything against you.”

Ou Yangming was secretly grateful. ‘She’s really looking out for me.’

Subsequently, he went forward to hold her soft hand as he could not hold back.

Ni Yinghong swung his hand lightly and blushed as she scolded him softly, “It’s broad daylight, are you seeking death?!”

Ou Yangming laughed and let go. “Okay.” “What do you mean by okay?” Seeing as ou Yangming replied to her so simple-mindedly, Ni Yinghong had a bad feeling about it.

“Nothing.” Ou Yangming smiled with narrowed eyes. “I won’t do it under broad daylight anymore.” Ni Yinghong was stunned at first, but her face and ears quickly turned red, and she wanted to kick the flirt away. However, on second thought, Ni Yinghong was reluctant to do it. She began to daydream and indulge in wild, fanciful thoughts.

She glared at Ou Yangming, but her eyes were not quite threatening.

As they bickered throughout their journey, they finally arrived at a residence.

Ni Yinghong suppressed her expressions as soon as they arrived and looked extremely stern. Being influenced by her, Ou Yangming kept a straight face too and guessed that Elder Universe was an old-fas.h.i.+oned and stern person.

It was evident that Ni Yinghong was a regular visitor because n.o.body stopped her when she entered

She led Ou Yangming to the backyard, where they set foot on farmland.

Ou Yangming could not help but have a weird feeling when he saw the farmland in the courtyard.

This building was definitely located at the center of the prefecture, and every inch of the land was worth an inch of gold. That said, someone actually opened up a vegetable farm here. It would not be strange if the farm was a small one, but Ou Yangming could tell at one glance that it occupied more than 7 hectares of land.

Based on the vegetable farm alone, Ou Yangming figured that Elder Universe was not someone to be messed with.

When Ni Yinghong arrived at the vegetable farm, she only took one look before she walked into the farm from the embankment. Ou Yangming dared not react slowly, so he quickly followed suit. Even he did not have the guts to fool around at that point.

After a brief moment, Ni Yinghong stopped in front of an old farmer, and she kneeled respectfully. “Master, I brought someone to meet you.”

Ou Yangming was dumbfounded, but he immediately recalled that the fearsome elder was at the peak of Extreme Grade, and the elder might be an old-fas.h.i.+oned person. Therefore, Ou Yangming kowtowed as well regardless of his willingness to do so. “Greetings, master.”

The old farmer turned and looked at them strangely, then he suddenly laughed. “Haha, my good apprentice, when did you become so polite?”

Ou Yangming was struck dumb, and he somewhat realized that something was off.

Ni Yinghong jumped up and smiled sweetly. “Master, when was I ever impolite?”

Ou Yangming noticed that her lower garment was not stained with dirt at all, then when he looked at his legs, he finally understood that he was tricked by the lady. The old farmer laughed and said, “Young fella, get up.” Ou Yangming smiled embarra.s.sedly and stood up. After having kneeled on the muddy ground, the bottom part of his long robe obviously became dirty.

He cast a hateful glance at Ni Yinghong and thought, ‘I’ll teach you a lesson when we go back.’

Ni Yinghong looked at him disdainfully as if she was responding to him, ‘Sure, if you can do it.’

The old farmer suddenly spoke, “My good apprentice, I know why you’ve come.

“Master, how did you know?” Ni Yinghong was surprised.

“I have the ability to know the past and the future by calculating with my fingers. Hehe, you have a long way to go if you want to hide something from me.” Ni Yinghong asked as she was dubious, “Master, how about you tell me about it?” The old farmer pointed at Ou Yangming. “You came because of him.”

“I wouldn’t have brought him here if it doesn’t have anything to do with him.” Ni Yinghong was displeased.

“Hmm, then I guessed it right!” The old farmer stroked his long beard and expressed confidently, “You’re in love with this young fella, and you’d like to be partners, but the people in your family objected to it, so you’ve come to ask for my support. Hehe, if I ignore your request, are you going to elope with him?”

Ni Yinghong. “…?” Ou Yangming. “…?”
