ch 253 - Fighting Among Themselves; The Gus Are Coming 4 (2/2)

Cheng Biyuan let out a deep, long breath and suppressed his roiling emotions. He nodded at him and said, “Greetings, Elder Ying. Treat this as your own home from now on!”

“Exactly, we will let bygone be bygone and no need to bring any of those up every again. We will help each other out going forward!” Smiling, Cheng Xiao Xiao chimed in.

Zhu Xiangyu really wanted to smack himself upside his own head. He really wanted to know if he was dreaming!

If he was right about it, the martial emperor who had attacked the Cheng’s eight nights ago had just became the Cheng’s deacon elder. Was this some sort of a joke?

He couldn’t lift his eyes off of this martial emperor. He was dying to know why he’d decide to stay at the Cheng’s. Even if you pooled every single person at the Cheng’s, they were still no match for a martial emperor.

In other words, this martial emperor could come and go as he pleased. There were no reason at all for him to stay and serve the Cheng’s.

Zhu Xiangyu examined him up and down with his eyes and couldn’t discover anything out of place with the martial emperor. There were no signs that he was staying against his will. From his look and eyes, he seemed to be staying out of his own will.

“Hey, kid, didn’t your mother teach you that it’s rude to stare at someone like that?”

Old man Ying was respectful to the Cheng’s, but that didn’t mean he would be respectful to everyone. He was still that prideful martial emperor. He would still annihilate anyone who was rude to him.

“Ugh.” Under the sharp stare of Old Man Ying, he retracted his look with slight embarrassment. Cupping his hands, he said, “Junior is Zhu Xiangyu of the Green Mountain Manor. Greetings, Senior!”

“Hrm, don’t bother dropping names in front of me. I couldn’t care less about those!” Old Man Ying was still a prideful man!

Zhu Xiangyu felt very awkward in front of the hard-to-please old man. Alas, what could he do about that?
