Volume 1 Chapter 3: I’m the One Who’s the Protagonist, So Why Isn’t It Happening to Me
“… What time is it now…” Dongfang Chenyi got up from the bed, “That’s right, there’s no watches and the like in ancient times, how troublesome ah.”
Dongfang Chenyi looked out the window. The sun has yet to set. It should be about 3 to 4 in the afternoon.
“Strange, why is it so quiet ah, don’t tell me there’s an inspection?”
Dongfang Chenyi wandered around the residence, “Where did everyone go, how strange.”
After walking for a while, Dongfang Chenyi spied an attendant pa.s.sing by. Dongfang Chenyi hurriedly stopped that attendant.
“Hey, you there, why is it so quiet today?”
“So you were here, eldest Young Master. Master and the rest are receiving guests in the Great Hall. Second Young Mistress asked me to notify you. It seems like someone came to cause trouble for us; the atmosphere in the Great Hall isn’t looking up.”
“So that’s how it is, I understand now.”
Dongfang Chenyi ran towards the Great Hall hastily, pus.h.i.+ng opening the door. In an instant, every eye focused their gaze on Dongfang Chenyi.
“Chenyi, what took you so long?”
Dongfang Chenyi was too embarra.s.sed to admit that he overslept, and hence he said: “This child was training just now and thus ran late.”
“Forget it, take a seat,” the Dongfang Clan Head pointed at the seat beside him.”
After Dongfang Chenyi took his seat, he carefully observed the surrounding people.
Besides his own father, the old fellows of the clan are present. They should be the Elders or some similar position. There’s also a few juniors of the clan. For example, young people like Dongfang Mengdie and Dongfang Ziqing. Finally, there’s a few senior attendants of the clan.
However, a youth sitting in the corner attracted Dongfang Cheny’s attention. He seemed to have seen him during meal time before. He should be the child of some Elder in the clan, right? Why is he sitting in the corner?
Moreover, Dongfang Mengdie is sitting next to him…
Giving the guests a look-over, they are all wearing white garments. The one sitting at the very front is a senior. One could tell he’s well-versed in the ways of martial arts from his appearance alone.
There are a male and a female behind him. The male is handsome and elegant. He should be slightly older than Dongfang Chenyi, about 20 this year. On the other hand, the female is a moving beauty, probably about the same age as Dongfang Chenyi.
“Is this young hero Dongfang?” the senior stared at Dongfang Chenyi. Honestly speaking, this gaze made Dongfang Chenyi extremely queasy.
”Recently, old me has heard of young hero Dongfang Chenyi capturing famed thieves of the Jianghu. Truly a young hero ah.”
“Mister Xiao, I’m flattered.” Dongfang Chenyi thought inwardly: So this Dongfang Chenyi is actually so formidable?
“These two are two of our Patriarch’s Conclave disciples.”
After the senior has spoken, the two disciples behind him rose, “Humble one is Xu Xuan, I have heard much of Brother Dongfang’s famed name, pleased to meet you.”
“Brother Xu, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”
“This is my martial junior sister.”
The female stood up, “Chu Xianxian. Well-met, gentleman Dongfang.”
It&rsqu
o;s the same as my previous life; we’re both surnamed ‘Chu’. She might even be my ancestor…
“Miss Chu.”
The senior nodded, “Well, we have finished our greetings. Shall we get down to business, Dongfang Clan Head?”
“Do speak. If our Dongfang Clan is able to help, we will definitely do our utmost.” Although Dongfang Clan Head still had a smile on his face, he held the teacup in his hand with increased force. Looks like he’s already aware of the other party’s intention.
“Then I shall not beat around the bush. Actually, this old man’s request is related to Xianxian. In addition, this matter is something our Patriarch personally consented to.” Senior Xiao emphasized on the word ‘Patriarch’ in particular.
The numerous people present naturally understood Senior Xiao’s reason for emphasizing that word. This Dongfang Clan is only notable in Royal Dragon City. However, the ‘Patriarch’ senior mentioned definitely holds a high position in the martial art circles.
The corners of Dongfang Clan Head’s mouth gave a twitch as he said: “Please speak.”
“Dongfang Clan Head, you are also aware. The Xuanzhen Divine Sword Arts is harsh, and our Patriarch holds high expectations towards Xianxian, basically already nurturing her as our next Patriarch. The sect has a regulation: before becoming the Patriarch, one cannot have excessive entanglements with men…”
Oh oh oh oh! It’s here it’s here. This cla.s.sical scene in xuanhuan novels, breaking off the engagement because he’s too weak!
Dongfang Chenyi is suddenly excited again.
