Framing

Kaiser slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was the wooden ceiling, and immediately felt his muscles aching. Strangely enough, it was normal to have a headache from overexerting his spiritual force, so why were his muscles aching instead?

Kaiser sat up lazily and examine his surroundings, and finally found the reason.

Kaiser stretched his body as he complained, “Such an unkind b.a.s.t.a.r.d, he threw me on the ground to sleep overnight. At least I didn’t catch a cold.”

“Unkind b.a.s.t.a.r.d? Hmmph!”

Gle sat down on the fauteuil, and said with raised brows, “In the past, I threw a severely injured Li into the wild and made him crawl back. I’m already treating you well since you’re here lying on the ground. If you weren’t my descendant, you wouldn’t have received such treatment.”

“It must be a miracle for Liola to still be alive.” Kaiser finally understood.

“Hahaha, I feel the same way.” Gle smiled maliciously.

“Hey! I heard you’re familiar with the Dragon Emperor’s wife Susanna?” Kaiser suddenly asked with interest, “Then how did you not recognize Liola? I heard he looks exactly like his mother?”

As soon as Gle heard Kaiser’s question, his malicious smile disappeared completely, and glared coldly at Kaiser.

Kaiser didn’t seem to have sensed the danger he was facing, and kept talking, “Oh, oh, oh. Maybe you already recognized Liola a long time ago, but because of your deceased friend… Wait, you couldn’t have possibly known Susanna was dead. So because of your old friend, you raised him and trained him well.”

Gle extended his arm and grabbed Kaiser tightly by his neck.

Kaiser finally realized his life was in danger. He first closed his mouth, but then opened them and said with a pitiful voice, “My grandmother was so lonely because you left her there, and because she was your daughter, everybody tried to kill her. She had to change her ident.i.ty. If she knew her own grandchild was strangled by her own father, she would never rest in peace.”

Although Gle knew Kaiser was talking nonsense, he remembered his eldest daughter, and he gradually released his hand.

He grunted and threatened Kaiser, “Stop with your nonsense. How could I have possibly recognized Susanna’s son? Even if he was Susanna’s son, he would also be that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Dragon Emperor’s son. I would have still killed him in an instant.”

“Yes, yes. You would have killed him in an instant.” Kaiser smiled flatteringly.

Gle grunted again, then he remembered why he was here.

He said to Kaiser, “Right. What’s-his-face’s training is almost done, and I’ve restored Xin-something’s memory, too. Whatever happens next isn’t my responsibility. They can have their death-match for all I care.”

Although Gle seem to be somewhat ambiguous, Kaiser had a rough understanding of what he was thinking. “Lin Jiyun is already done with his training? So soon? This can’t be, unless he’s also a prodigy?”

Gle laughed coldly, terrifying Kaiser in the process.

Kaiser thought there was no good in him staying in this place, so he said “I’ll go look.” and then ran off.

“Lin Jiyun!”

Kaiser saw Lin Jiyun and Void from afar, training with sweat running from their back, such as sparring, squats, long distance running. Although their training looked difficult, it was no different than no other ordinary training. Kaiser found it strange. From what he knew, Liola’s training wasn’t anything like this.

Gle always complained about the time when he threw the ten year-old Liola into the a wolf’s den, with a few dozen wolves.

“In the end, he only managed to kill all the wolves except the Alpha Wolf. Liola was so exhausted, that when he was fought the Alpha Wolf, both of them fell to the ground. What an idiot!”

Kaiser exclaimed, “He could already stir up a wolf’s den at the age of ten? He must have slashed them so much that his knife must have gotten dull.”

“Oh, it didn’t get dull, because I didn’t give him one.”

“…”

In addition, when Liola was twelve years old, he was teleported to one thousand kilometers away to perform some task, but he took a whole month before he was able to get back to the organization. “Is he directionally challenged?”

Kaiser asked, “Did you give him a map?”

“My a.s.s! I don’t use maps, so where would I get one to give to him?”

Kaiser asked again, “Did he ask for directions?”

Gle replied, “Who would he ask? No one knew where Shalong Hall’s training spot is, except people from the organization.”

Both of them quieted. So how did Liola get back to the organization?

In another scenario, Gle thought Liola didn’t exercise his Ki enough, so he personally monitored him, forcing him to continuously use his Ki.

Kaiser asked, “So how many times did he exercise his Ki?”

Gle responded, “I don’t know, I fell asleep. When I woke up, that guy was always spitting blood, and his life was in always danger. He had already forgotten how many times he had exercised his Ki.”

For the past two months, hearing Gle’s many complaints, Kaiser had finally realized Liola was as resilient as a c.o.c.kroach, and anyone whom Gle called an idiot was actually a real prodigy.

For everyone else less than a prodigy, Gle would often not even remember their name. For example, Lin Jiyun and Void had been around Gle for the past two months, but his names for them were still ‘what’s-his-face’ and ‘Vo-something’. Judging from this, Void’s talent was above Lin Jiyun’s. At least Gle remembered a part of his name.

Seeing Kaiser walking towards them, Lin Jiyun and Void stopped training and met him halfway. However, Kaiser didn’t seem to acknowledge them, he was deep in thought. Sometimes, a bitter smile would appear on his face, but sometimes he would just shake his head. Lin Jiyun and Void looked at each other, not knowing what they should do.

Finally, Kaiser sighed, “That guy Liola staying alive must be the biggest miracle in history.”

“What?” Void and Lin Jiyun were both stupefied.

“Nothing, right, the Leader told me he had already restored Xin Jietian’s memory and returned everything to normal. Lin Jiyun, you better think of a plan to destroy Xin Jietian within a month. You must make him suffer so much that he would rather die, otherwise it would happen to you instead.” Kaiser warned.

“One month? Why are we in such a hurry?” Lin Jiyun was very surprised. He only had one month to push an Martial Arts Alliance Leader off his throne?

“Because in one month, Gle wants to watch the duel between me, Daylight, and Liola. My training is almost complete, so the rest is up to me. Also, the Leader will not have me as entertainment, so if you bore in the next month, you might die a horrible death.”

Kaiser’s explained in strange terms, and he believed he knew Gle quite well. In fact, Gle was practically watching the whole issue between Lin Jiyun and Xin Jietian as if it was some sort of entertainment program.

Lin Jiyun’s face was terrified. No matter how many ridiculous things come out of Kaiser’s mouth, for some reason, Lin Jiyun believed every word of it, as if that was exactly what the Leader thought.

“Then what should I do?” Lin Jiyun panicked.

“Don’t worry, I’ve already come up a script for you!” Kaiser said as if he were an expert, “But Void must cooperate with me, okay?”

Seeing Lin Jiyun’s pleading eyes, Void nodded, “No problem, I will cooperate.”

“Hmmph! Take this.” Kaiser’s hand reached behind him, then took out a fairly large bamboo basket filled to the brink with eggs of sorts.
