Chapter 425: Low-key Bragging Part One (1/2)

The four youngsters didn’t know exactly why Xu Cheng was allowed to sit there and receive the approval and recognition of the five elders. If this identity were to leak out, he could really roam freely without a care across the country!

And this wasn’t an exaggeration at all.

Even princelings (TL note: second-generation of powerful politicians in the central government) would think twice before they provoke Xu Cheng!

In fact, instead of saying that Xu Cheng was kicked out of the military completely and broke all ties with the country, it was more accurate to say that the country was actually protecting him!

He lost the Dragon King position, yet the five elders basically gave him a mountain to rely on!

The five elders recognizing him as their grandson was no joke. At least speaking for in the current era, as long as at least one of the five elders were alive, no one could touch Xu Cheng!

It was a kind of protection for Xu Cheng!

But, Xu Cheng felt like he didn’t need it and that was why he didn’t want to come. But, he couldn’t disobey Elder Ye so he had no choice but to attend this reunion. On the way here, he already predicted what was going on. To put it simply, the nation wanted to retain him as a talent!

And the price the nation was paying for this to happen was already enough for Xu Cheng to brag about for his whole life.

But since he was already taken in as the grandson of these grandpas, Xu Cheng decided to just let it be.

Elder Nie seemed to have seen through Xu Cheng’s thoughts and he smiled as he said, “Child, don’t worry too much about other things. You just got four grandpas, there are no obligations that come with this. In fact, Big Brother Ye had always been telling us that he has this treasure and was bragging about you every day, saying that he will share this treasure with us. We are even closer than brothers, so obviously, we share all the good things. So today, you are Big Brother Ye’s grandson, and you are naturally our grandson. Don’t think of yourself as an outsider in the future, you can come and visit anytime. Just treat all five of our homes like your own, got it?”
