Chapter 634 The Pitiful Huangfu (1/2)
Shui ManCheng as well as HuangFu Jun both took in a breath of cold air, looking at each other in dismay. What exactly happened, to have this great malicious star personally come out? What they could confirm was that since it was Tian ZhiYi that came, then the troops that they brought to Rocky Pier would be insufficient!
Shui ManCheng's expression was heavy as he spoke, ”So it turns out that the one who calls the shots is here. I apologize for my lack of respect. Shui ManCheng of the Shui Family has embarra.s.sed himself.” The moment he finished speaking, he pa.s.sed down the command to allow the groups to give way. At the same time, he signaled to an aide close to him, with the intention of asking him to report this matter to their family.
The army s.h.i.+fted towards the two sides like the tide receding, revealing a wide road of about fifty feet wide. The dull hoof beats of the warhorses sounded as three people seated side by side leisurely made their way over.
The person in the center was tall and st.u.r.dy, as though he was a G.o.d. On his face was a golden mask, and when the rays of light shone down, it reflected the light everywhere, causing everyone to not dare to stare at him.
On his left was someone wearing a silver mask, his body not moving a single inch despite being on the horse, while to his right, the person wore a copper mask with a ferocious expression.
Shui ManCheng's face turned pale white as an unbelievable thought ran past his head. How could it be that the top three figures of the Sky Alliance had come today? If it was really them, then what would their motive be? This was hard to believe!
When the golden-masked man, Tian ZhiYi turned to face him, everyone scrambled out of the way, only leaving Shui ManCheng as he stood in the center all alone. He mustered his courage to cup his fists as he politely asked, ”You must be the great mister Tian? Might I know the ident.i.ties of the other two?”
”This one is Tian ZhiEr!” The silver-masked man cupped his hand, yet did not get down the horse, his voice harsh and grating.
”This one is Tian ZhiSi!” There seemed to be a smiling intention behind the voice of the copper mask, and the speaker seemed to be genuinely friendly at least.
Shui ManCheng's expression changed at this time, as his voice trembled, ”It is indeed the three of you great misters. Shui ManCheng from the Shui Family actually had failed to entertain angels unawares, to fail to recognize such famous people.” However, deep inside his heart, he felt fear. For these three to come over and survey the area, just what sort of matter was it that required the three of them to combine forces in order to accomplish their task?
The more Shui ManCheng thought about it, the more scared he became. The only person here that could possibly even force the three of them to come over would only be... me! Could it be that they came here to silence me? After thinking of this his face had already turned pale.
Standing by the side HuangFu Jun evidently came to the same conclusion, and a look of schadenfreude flashed across his eyes. He suddenly took a step forward and kneeled on the ground as he exclaimed, ”This one comes from the HuangFu Family and is named Jun. I pay my respects to the three great figures! Your names and reputations have traveled far and wide, shaking the heavens and earth. To have the fortune of meeting your imposing bearings today, it is indeed a wish of a lifetime!”
”HuangFu Jun?” The man in copper mask repeated the name slowly, before a hint of a smiling intent appeared in his eyes, ”You must be a descendant of the HuangFu aristocratic family. That's right, the current young master of the HuangFu family goes by this name too. How did you end up here?”
Seeing how the other party was actually aware of his hand, as well as the goodwill he showed, HuangFu Jun inwardly exclaimed with joy. However, his att.i.tude remained respectfully as he replied, ”It is indeed I, and having such great figures recognizing me really fills me with pride and honor. My purpose of coming here today is actually to escort Miss Shui.”
”Shui QianRou, Miss Shui?” The eyes inside the copper mask shone, even as he smilingly replied, ”The HuangFu Family members are all mighty and imposing characters, so how could I not know of them?”
”Thirdie, don't be so corny. You're making me have gooseb.u.mps.” The eyes of the silver-masked man showed some dissatisfaction as he coldly replied.
All of a sudden, there were light flapping sounds, as three messenger pigeons flew up from behind the Shui Family.
The golden-masked man gave out a cold snort, and behind him, a man stood on horseback from within the Sky Alliance's troops. Nocking his arrows and pulling on the bow, three long arrows shot out at practically the same time, and the three messenger pigeons uniformly dropped from the sky as well.
Shui ManCheng's face turned pale as death!
The silver-masked man, Tian ZhiEr let out a weird laugh as he gazed at Shui ManCheng, coldly remarking, ”Third Master Shui, you don't have to be too anxious. Our motive here does not involve you. We will stay in our own lane and mind our own business. It's just that we do not wish for others to know of our presence here. But if Third Master Shui does not know how to keep his birds in check, then it is unknown where the arrows will end up next.
”Definitely! Just now, my men were careless and alarmed the three of you. I beg your pardon for that...” Shui ManCheng's heart also settled. While Tian ZhiEr's words were grating to the ear, he had revealed the crucial point. They had their own matters to solve by coming here, and it was because they did not wish to be interrupted while doing so that they chose not to let anyone know of their presence! So long as they were not coming for him, then there was not much need to care. Upon coming to this conclusion, the Third Master Shui felt his shoulders relax and had a euphoric feeling as though he had been dragged to heaven from h.e.l.l.
From start to the end, the copper-masked man had been staring at HuangFu Jun, with a strange posture.
”Thirdie, what are you looking at?” The man with the gold mask, Tian ZhiYi spoke in a low tone, curious.
”That brat is the first in line for succession at the HuangFu aristocratic family. He's called HuangFu Jun.” Tian ZhiSi made a knowing gesture towards him.
”Interesting? How interesting is that?” The gold-masked man snorted through his nose. ”Thirdie, this person is just a mere HuangFu family member. How is it interesting to look at someone with just this much of ability? I feel you're slipping backward as time pa.s.ses.”
”A mere HuangFu aristocratic n.o.ble isn't anything fun...” Tian ZhiSi let out a weird laugh before continuing, ”But this young n.o.ble HuangFu actually came all the way here just to welcome the little princess Shui QianRou. From what I heard, this person is totally infatuated with Miss Shui, and Shui ManKong even has intentions to betroth his daughter to him. Do you think... there's going to be a good show to watch later on?!”
