Chapter 2248: Don’t Know To Appreciate Favors (2/2)

Despite having guessed that Huang Xiaolong might refuse, Huang Zhouping did not expect Huang Xiaolong to refuse so bluntly.

“Junior Brother Huang, you better think it through before deciding.” Huang Zhouping spoke heavily and added, “The Holy Gate has millions of disciples but not everyone has the chance to join our Holy Alliance, and this chance only comes once in a lifetime!”

“If Junior Brother Huang regrets it in the future, it would be too late to think of joining our Holy Alliance.”

“Our Holy Alliance has our set of rules. When a disciple is invited, and if they decline the invitation, they will forever be blacklisted by our Holy Alliance and would never have the chance of joining ever again.”

Huang Zhouping ‘earnestly tutored’ Huang Xiaolong.

“Moreover, our Senior Brother Jiang Tian would rise to the highest position in the Zhuoyuan Holy Gate. If Junior Brother Huang joins the Holy Alliance now, when Senior Brother Jiang Tian inherits the Patriarch position, Junior Brother Huang will become one of the meritorious ministers!” Huang Zhouping added confidently.

Huang Xiaolong wasn’t moved by his speech at all, “Our aspirations are different, and the paths we take are different. I have decided, Senior Brother Huang, please return.”

Huang Zhouping’s face sank. He stared gloomily at Huang Xiaolong for a while before nodding his head, and said, “Since Junior Brother Huang has decided, I hope you will not regret your decision in the future.”

“Farewell.” Huang Zhouping glanced at his subordinates that were still kneeling on the ground and snapped angrily, “Get up quickly. We’re leaving!”

With that said, Huang Zhouping turned and was about to leave in a scoff.

But Huang Xiaolong’s words sounded in his ears, “Senior Brother Jing Tian really thinks he will inherit the Holy Gate’s Patriarch position? I think he should wait until he breaks through to True Saint Realm before claiming that. Otherwise, if he doesn’t advance to True Saint Realm, and fails to inherit the Holy Gate Patriarch position, he’ll be a joke then!”

“Tell Senior Brother Jiang Tian, his orders now are still not considered as sacred orders!”

Huang Zhouping’s eyes narrowed, and a cold light glinted in his eyes as he glared at Huang Xiaolong and harrumphed coldly, “I will make sure to convey Junior Brother Huang’s words to Senior Brother Jiang Tian.”

“Hope Junior Brother Huang takes good care of himself!” With that said, he sped away.

Huang Xiaolong sneered watching Huang Zhouping’s leaving figure. He had even locked up Wan Zhuoyuan’s soul inside the Barbarian Space lightning bead. What was a mere Jiang Tian compared to that?

“Young Master, we, we’re sorry.” Zhang Wenyue stood behind Huang Xiaolong with a guilty face, “We’ve embarrassed you.”

Huang Xiaolong shook his head and reassured them, “This has nothing to do with you three.”

He took out several pills and gave it to Zhang Wenyue, Zhang Haochen, and Prince Qian, “If you think you’ve embarrassed me, then cultivate diligently, and abuse those slaves back a hundred times.”

He pointed at Huang Zhouping’s subordinates.

Zhang Wenyue giggled at Huang Xiaolong’s words, and complied, “We know, Young Master.”

Huang Xiaolong activated the palace’s restrictions, then entered the palace with Zhang Wenyue, and the rest. He resumed cultivating as he waited for the second test three days later.

In truth, only after Huang Xiaolong took the second test would the Holy Gate’s Eminent Elder give Huang Xiaolong his Holy Prince identity token, Holy Prince brocade robe, as well as announce his Holy Prince identity to the whole Holy Grounds. When these steps were completed, then only would Huang Xiaolong be acknowledged as a rightful Holy Prince.

In the meantime, Huang Zhouping had returned to Jiang Tian’s Holy Alliance Palace and reported the entire process of Huang Xiaolong’s refusal with great detail to Jiang Tian. However, Huang Zhouping did not add or subtract any details, reporting as what had happened.

When Huang Zhouping reached the part he was leaving, Huang Xiaolong had said that Jiang Tian’s order was not yet a sacred order and he needed to wait until he broke through to True Saint Realm. Icy glints burst from Jiang Tian’s eyes, and the pressure of his half-step True Saint Realm cultivation soared to the sky.

“This Huang Xiaolong really does not know to appreciate others’ kindness!” The crimson-eyed Holy Prince raged, “Who does he think he is? He is a rubbish Holy Prince that has just arrived at the Holy Gate. He dares to criticize Senior Brother Jiang Tian?!”

This Zheng Yongjia was the same Holy Prince who had said that Huang Xiaolong was only qualified to carry Jiang Tian’s shoes or lead his mount.

Another Holy Prince, with a faint purple luminance around his body, too spoke in anger, “I’ll send people to teach him a lesson and open his eyes. I will make him understand that he is nothing but crap in our eyes!”

Jiang Tian’s composure returned. He waved his hand nonchalantly and said, “There is no hurry. We will wait for the Holy Gate’s new disciples training.”
