Chapter 29 (2/2)

“Nonsense   !”  Hong  Wenqing  said  with  a  deep  veneration.  “What good will there be of you going? Go back and practice your martial arts! Do not come back, unless ordered to do otherwise!”

“No,  I  must  go!” Hong Haoyun said firmly, “Whoever wants to hurt my Younger Brother Bao, I’ll break his legs!”

“This  is  the  Thunder  Sound  Pavilion  elder,  Ye  Feihong! A 8 star martial artist. Do you have any skill to go and show off?!” Hong Wenqing said anxiously. “Go back, and practice your martial arts!”

“Even  if  I  am  unable  to  defeat  him  now,  give  me  10 … maybe 20 years and  will be sure to top him!” Hong Haoyun said. “In any case, if he wants to hurt Brother Bao,  will not forgive him!”

Seeing Hong Haoyun manner, Qiao Xianxian sighed lightly. The Third Prince was not Qiao Xianxian’s son. His biological mother had died at birth, nevertheless she loved him as her own kin, especially since he was quite close with Hong Xiaobao.

Ye Feihong would not visit them without any cause. It was obvious that he came here for Yun Caixiao, and although Hong Xaoyun was simple-hearted, he was not stupid, and he knew that there would be some disturbance in the imperial palace.

“Your  Majesty,  please  let  Haoyun  go  with  us.” Qian Xianxian sighed lightly.

“This    …. Ok, let him go.” Hong Wenqing was finally convinced by the Empress words “Let’s have a look at the purpose of elder Ye Feihong’s visit …”

Naturally, Hong Wenqing had heard about Hong Xiaobao’s and Ye Jinning’s affair, but he did not want to interfere with the matters of juniors … He certainly did not expect that Ye Feihong would take this matter so seriously, so he wanted to avoid any conflicts, if possible.

When these four people; Hong Wenqing, Hong Haoyun, Qiao Xianxian, and Yun Caixiao arrived at the Xuan Yang palace, they saw another four people waiting for them.

One of them was a young man, which was obviously Ye Jinning. Near him stood Yun Shengxuan, and beside him stood a man that looked to be 40 years old. His posture dignified, his brows wrinkled, and his face showed an angry expression.

There was one more person that looked like an middle-   aged  scholar.  He  was  calm  and  composed.  His  bearing  was  a  little  like  that  of  an  Confucian  erudite. There was a “Saint”[1]  character embroidered on his left sleeve. When Hong Wenqing saw it, his eyes narrowed a little,  Saint  Academy? What were they doing  here?

Although Hong Wenqing had his doubts, he could not voice them out, so he simply said, “Thunder Sound Pavilion Elder, Ye Feihong’s honorable self visited Us, please excuse Us for not coming out to meet Elder.” He then looked at the nearby scholar, and said, “   wonder who this honorable master might be?”

“This one’s name is Zuo s.h.i.+xian of Saint Academy. I  greet Brother Hong!”  Zuo  s.h.i.+xian  cupped  his  hands  in  a  polite  greeting.

“So  it  was  Brother  Zuo  all  along!  I  have  heard  of  Brother  Zuo’s  great  reputation  before! It is indeed fortunate to meet Brother Zuo here!” Hong Wenqing was a little surprised by s.h.i.+xian’s politeness, so he hurriedly returned the greetings.

Although he was an emperor, and his status was aloof, it was only in the eyes of the common people.

He still needed to show some respect for the masters of Jiang Hu, like Ye Feihong or Zuo s.h.i.+xian.

“Humph.  You  can  exchange  your  greetings  later.  I  have  something  to  speak  with  Mr.Hong,” Ya Feihong said with a dignified tone. And although he said these words to Hong Wenqing, he actually looked at Yun Caixiao.

“Really? Hong  Wenqing’s  heartbeat  became  irregular  when  he  heard  that, but he tried to remain calm. “Then please say!”
