Chapter - 254 A Shiver of Sharks In the Big Waves (7) (1/2)

”Qi Xiong, I thought you are going to stay on the island for several days,” Huang Yaoshi said, ”Why such a hurry to leave?”

”The world's big beggars, medium-sized beggars, and little beggars, within a few days will gather together at Yueyang, in Hunan province. They will look up to the Old Beggar to appoint a new leader. If the Old Beggar meets a calamity and has to return to heaven before first appointed a successor, who would lead the world's beggars? Therefore, the Old Beggar has to go, whether he wants it or not. Your brother truly appreciates Yao Xiong's generosity. Whenever your daughter and son-in-law get married, I will come back to disturb the wedding.”

Huang Yaoshi sighed, ”Qi Xiong, you are truly an ardent man; you dedicate your life toiling for others, like a horse that never stops galloping everywhere.”

Hong Qigong laughed, ”The Old Beggar never ride a horse; my feet can't be compared to a horse's hoof. Aiyo! Something's wrong! You are indirectly scolding me, saying that my feet are hoofs, wouldn't that mean you are saying I am a horse?”

Huang Rong laughed, ”Shifu, you said it yourself, my father never scolded you.”

”Of course, Shifu will always inferior to father,” Hong Qigong said, ”Just you watch, I am going to take a Mistress Old Beggar, then we will have a baby girl beggar for you to look after.”

Huang Rong clapped her hands, ”That's great! I will have a little beggar as my martial sister to play with. Won't that be fun?”

Ouyang Ke stole a glance toward her; under the bright sunlight she looked so beautiful, her cheeks pink like a spring flower, colorful as rosy-colored clouds at dawn; he couldn't help but feeling crazy for her. However, from her his thought went to Guo Jing. His pulse quickened, knowing she had her eyes only for Guo Jing, his anger rose, he swore in his heart, ”There will come a day when I will kill this stinky kid.”

Hong Qigong held out his hand to help Zhou Botong, he said, ”Botong, I will accompany you riding this new boat. Old Heretic Huang is so weird, we two boys better not mind him at all.”

Zhou Botong was delighted, ”Old Beggar, you are a very kind man, what do you say we become sworn brothers?”

Hong Qigong had not answered when Guo Jing interrupted, ”Big Brother Zhou, you and I have become sworn brothers so how could you take my master as your sworn brother also?”

Zhou Botong laughed, ”What's the problem? If your father-in-law is kind enough and let me ride on this new boat, when my heart is happy I might take him as my sworn brother as well.”

”What about me?” Huang Rong laughed.

Zhou Botong squinted his eyes, ”I am not too keen to take a baby doll; if I look at pretty women too much; they turn into trash.” Taking Hong Qigong's arm he walked to the boat.

Quickly Huang Yaoshi blocked their way, stretching both arms and said, ”Old Huang does not dare to take advantage of others. Riding this boat will bring more harm than good. Gentlemen, you don't need to prove your courage, it has been well known on the Central Plains.”
