“Ha-ha-ha, Valley Lord You had his men capture the Drifting Flowers Edifices runaways and have earned great merit. A toast to you, Valley Lord You!”
In a wide courtyard, Regent Estate held a feast. Huangpu Tianyuan sat in the main seat, with the house lords and Divine Dragons at his sides.
Huangpu Tianyuan looked flushed, laughing like the world was his oyster and toasting to Hell Valley’s success. You Wanshan faked modesty, “Huangpu Tianyuan, Estate Lord is too kind. It was my duty.”
[Humph, hypocrite!]
Yan Bogong and Lin Rufeng spat in their minds, eying him with ill intent. While the two of them were breaking their backs attacking the arrays, this guy had it easy casting his net and capturing the fleeing women.
[Like a treacherous scum.]
The two wanted to tear into You Wanshan there and then.
You Wanshan noticed their envy and turned around with a genial smile. It only worked to stoke their anger, [What are you gloating about, you stray? You have no home!]
“Oh, Valley Lord You, impressive move there, capturing Drifting Flowers Edifices’ women. Only, how exactly did you know what they were going to do?” Leng Wuchang asked.
You Wanshan bowed and reported, “Sir Leng, the success isn’t all mine, but the credit falls on my capable assistant!”
You Wanshan pointed at a gray robe, “He is Hell Valley’s new adviser, You Ming, the last disciple of the late You Guiqi!”
Everyone turned to You Ming.
You Guiqi was the third greatest mind in Tianyu. Although a shame, he fell at the hands of Zhuo Fan, he was quite the character.
It went without saying that his disciple ought to at least live up to the name of his master.
So everyone scrutinized You Ming, even Huangpu Tianyuan.
You Ming bowed and took his seat again.
Leng Wuchang sized him up, nodding, “I see now why Hell Valley has moved with purpose and precision as of late. You have an adviser now. Ha-ha-ha, heroes always come young. Sir You Ming, by your guess, where do you think the fleeing Drifting Flowers Edifices women turned to?”
“To be quite frank, I do not know. However, knowing how stubborn Grandmother is, and going by her name as Lady of Steel, she isn’t one to give up. Sooner or later this day was bound to come and she planned accordingly. I just never imagined she would be so bold as to break the siege while they still had some fight left in them. Capturing so many of her disciples was just a happy coincidence. Although it is regrettable that Grandmother and the overseers got away.”
You Ming sighed, “My skill is still poor and many things escape me. Hope Estate Lord can forgive me.”
Yan Bogong and Lin Rufeng’s faces twitched in tandem.
[Poser!]
[My stars and garters, this punk is just like You Wanshan. Bragging and faking humility.]
[If you grabbed all those prisoners by mistake, does that mean the two houses who got jack squat should hang themselves?]
The two lords flared their nostrils and panted in rage.
The siege of Drifting Flowers Edifices had come up with the vagrant Hell Valley as the definite winner. Something these two would never accept.
Leng Wuchang smiled, “Sir You Ming is so modest. How can it be a mistake when you have gained such merit? Ha-ha-ha…”
Huangpu Tianyuan nodded, “You Ming, you truly take after your master. Hell Valley will go far with you by their side.”
“Estate Lord is too kind.” You Ming nodded.
You Wanshan laughed in pride, believing rebuilding Hell Valley was just around the corner.
Yan Bogong mocked, “Humph, what future can a house with a robbed home ever have?”
“What did you say?” You Wanshan roared.
Despite Hell Valley’s heavy looks, Yan Bogong still had a look of contempt, turning his head in mockery.
A whoosh announced the arrival of a green flash. Yan Bogong caught it.
He read the jade carefully and paled. He dropped to his knees then and there and begged, “Estate Lord Huangpu, I beg of you, rescue Pill King Hall!”
