Chapter 890: Doesn’t Your Face Turn Red Telling Lies Like This? (1/2)
As the hall’s depressing silence made breathing feel like arduous labor, a Huang Clan Manor disciple ran into the hall, reporting with enthusiasm, “Clan Head, Madame, Eldest Young Master is back!”
Eldest Young Master!
Huang Peng, Su Yan, Huang Min, Huang Xiaohai, Shi Xiaofei, and the others in the hall quivered as happiness rushed through them.
“Xiaolong, Xiaolong’s back!” Su Yan flew to her feet in excitement.
That disciple respectfully replied, “Yes, it is said that Eldest Young Master has just stepped out from the transmission array and is flying back here.”
Hearing this confirmation, Huang Peng, Su Yan, and the rest, especially Shi Xiaofei, smiled at each other brightly, sweeping away the heavy gloom from moments ago. Everyone hastened their steps, leaving the hall. Just as they were close to the Huang Clan Manor’s main entrance, they could see a lone silhouette flying in their direction.
Naturally, it was Huang Xiaolong!
“Xiaolong!”
“Big brother!”
Huang Peng, Su Yan, Shi Xiaofei, and everyone else quickened their steps.
Watching his parents, Shi Xiaofei, and the rest of his family coming out to meet him, a warm feeling flowed into Huang Xiaolong’s heart. A genuine smile spread over his face.
“Father! Mother!” Huang Xiaolong called out.
Su Yan hurried up to Huang Xiaolong, holding her son’s hands. She was checking him up and down with her eyes, her hands shaking slightly from excitement, “It’s good that you’re back, it’s good that you’re back.”
Huang Peng laughed heartily, “Didn’t I already say it? With our son’s strength, even if he didn’t enter the top one thousand, protecting himself is definitely not a problem. Look, isn’t our son back home safe and sound now?”
Su Yan rolled her eyes at Huang Peng, retorting playfully, “How do you know our son cannot enter the top one thousand? With our son’s capabilities, not to mention the top one thousand, he could get a place within the top three hundred.”
Although Su Yan said this, everyone was aware that she said it because she was happy that Huang Xiaolong returned alive and well, not because she really believed he could enter the top three hundred.
Naturally, Huang Xiaolong did not miss the meaning of Su Yan’s words. He laughed secretly to himself, ‘Looks like my family and the rest don't harbor much hope or believe I could enter the top one thousand in the tournament.’
“Big brother, come on, tell us, what’s your ranking in the tournament?” Huang Min urged, “Top ten million?”
It seems in Huang Min’s eyes, that was already a great achievement. One must know that there were more than seventeen million disciples from various galaxies.
Everyone turned their heads, anticipating Huang Xiaolong’s answer. Huang Xiaolong leaned back slightly from the intense gazes directed at him, shaking his head.
Watching Huang Xiaolong shaking his head, Huang Min palmed her own forehead, hesitating a little, “It won’t be below that… right?”
Below ten million? Huang Xiaolong was depressed hearing his sister’s words!
When Huang Min noticed Huang Xiaolong’s wry smile, she thought she hit the nail on the head, “It’s alright, the ranking doesn’t matter that much. Big brother, you need not feel depressed, with your talent, in the next Highgod Advancement Tournament, you can definitely enter the top one thousand if you work hard.”
Although Huang Peng, Su Yan, and the others had expected this result, it was inevitable they would feel some disappointment knowing that Huang Xiaolong was at the bottom of the pile. In truth, they did have a tiny of hope, hoping Huang Xiaolong would be lucky and somehow enter the top one thousand. If not, at least within the top ten thousand…
Listening to his sister worsening his situation with every word that came out from her mouth, Huang Xiaolong flicked her forehead, admonishing her while smiling, “You really think your Big brother is so weak? Can I only scrap a place at the bottom?”
Huang Min blanked, “Then, not below the ten millionth place?”
Huang Xiaolong laughed, “Of course not! In this term’s Highgod Advancement Tournament, your Big brother, me, won the first place.”
In the next second, Huang Min giggled which deepened into a peal of laughter, “I say, Big brother, nowadays you don’t even turn red telling lies like this? But, looking at your expression, it really seems like that.”
Huang Xiaohai, Shi Xiaofei, and the rest also laughed.
Su Yan smiled, “Mother knows you’re trying to comfort your father and me, but there’s still no need to claim number one.”
Huang Xiaohai grinned, “That’s right, Big brother. If you said you managed to enter the top one thousand, you could have tricked us.”
