Chapter 1567: Who Knows if It’s Real? (1/2)
Li Shan and Cheng Yirong frowned when they saw the raging Zhou Chen. If it was really as he said, Huang Xiaolong was going overboard.
No matter how talented he was, Huang Xiaolong was a disciple of the Fortune Emperor Palace. As an elder of the Fortune Emperor Palace, Zhou Chen had all the rights in the world to order Huang Xiaolong for a meeting. Instead of agreeing, Huang Xiaolong had even injured the disciples he sent over!
Even though Huang Xiaolong wasn’t the one who had made the move and Xiang Xun had done the dirty job for him, there was no difference.
Zhou Chen’s rage smoldered in his heart and he said coldly, “The disciple of the disciplinary hall went to invite Huang Xiaolong on my order but he was injured by Huang Xiaolong’s demonic beast instead! It seems like the elders from the Brightness Emperor Palace are telling the truth! Huang Xiaolong definitely ordered them to rob the low-grade chaos spiritual veins from them!”
Li Shan shook his head, “We haven’t got to the bottom of the matter and we cannot pin the crime on Huang Xiaolong’s head.”
He knew that his disciple, Peng Xiao, was extremely close to Huang Xiaolong and he wasn’t going to go against him for no reason.
Chen Yirong asked all of a sudden, “Where is Huang Xiaolong now?”
Zhou Chen sneered, “According to the disciple I sent out, he went to look for Zhao Lei. As for whether or not he actually went there, no one knows.”
“Let’s invite the Fortune Emperor Fan Gan to head over to Zhao Lei’s place together. Once we’re there, we can question Huang Xiaolong about the validity of the Brightness Summoning Signal.” Li Shan muttered.
Chen Yirong didn’t hesitate to nod his head. “That sounds like a good plan.”
Zhou Chen’s face turned a shade darker. “Nonsense! Why will the three of us elders bring the Fortune Emperor along to look for him? What rights does he have?! He’s just a mere disciple of our Fortune Emperor Palace!”
Indeed. For three elders and the Fortune Emperor himself to personally look for Huang Xiaolong was a little too unbefitting of their status. If word were to get out, they would turn into a joke!
However, Li Shan shook his head. “Even though he is a disciple of our Fortune Emperor Palace, he isn’t an ordinary disciple. I heard that he was received by the president of the Silver Fox Commerce the last time he arrived at Heaven World’s Heavens Avenue. Even with our identity as elders of the Fortune Emperor Palace, the president of the Silver Fox Commerce wouldn’t bother entertaining us. As such, we need to look at this problem from a different angle!”
Zhou Chen argued, “That’s just a rumor! It doesn’t have to be real. Do you really think that the president of the Silver Fox Commerce will bother meeting that brat? It’s definitely fake! Even if the president were to make an appearance, it would be because his daughter, Bei Xiaomei, begged him to.” A sneer appeared on his face as he continued, “This guy has some pretty good luck… There are so many girls around him and he even managed to gain the admiration of the Young Miss of the Silver Fox Commerce.”
All of a sudden, a figure shot towards them. When his shadow arrived before the main hall, his appearance was revealed. Fang Gan slowly made his way inside.
Looking at the three of them in heated discussion, he became curious as to what was going on.
Li Shan quickly went through their entire conversation with Fang Gan.
“Alright. Since Xiaolong is at Zhao Lei’s place, we shall look for him. We should clear up the problem with the Brightness Emperor Palace right now.”
Li Shan and Chen Yirong quickly nodded their heads.
Seeing as Fang Gan had already made the decision, Zhou Chen knew that he wouldn’t be able to cause any more trouble. He could only nod his head in affirmation.
As such, the four of them flew out of the main hall and headed towards Zhao Lei’s palace.
As the four of them were making their way there, another scene was playing out over at Zhao Lei’s palace. Under Chen Hao’s escort, Huang Xiaolong quickly arrived before Zhao Lei. He quickly bowed to pay his respects.
Zhao Lei didn’t bother about the issue with the Brightness Emperor Palace and he merely laughed and chatted with Huang Xiaolong about his experiences in the past ten years. He was like a mother hen who chirped non-stop.
Chen Hao looked at Huang Xiaolong who was growing more and more uncomfortable by the second and a trace of delight appeared in his heart.
After a short chat, Zhao Lei finally cleared his throat and asked, “There are only four months left until the selections. Now that you’re back, you can observe the selection process.”
Is he asking me to be a spectator?
