Chapter 482 - Tang Ai (1/2)
”Please, don't call me boy… I no longer like hearing the word.” Wang Ling stated his eyes showed a dangerous light, ”Also, are the two of you somehow in a relationship?” he asked seeing their intimacy.
”She's, my mother.”
”—disciple. She is my disciple, she is Tang Ai, Mas—Young Master.”
Tang Ai laughed and stepped on the table to bow to Wang Ling, ”Presenting myself as the Sixth Sword, the ”hidden” Red Mask of the Sword Tower — Killer Blade Red Mask, Tang Ai at your service.”
Tang Ai introduced herself as flamboyantly as possible. It was amusing to see her move like an entertainer. Wang Ling even clapped, but Butler Sun glared at the young lady, ”Miss Mu, I would like to ask you to step down. Mind your manners, else I will abandon mine like you.”
A simple threat and Tang Ai jumped down from the table. She could recognize Butler Sun quite well, ”Hello Butler Sun, how are the Great Heroes Wang and Xiao?”
”Good to see you are doing as well, Miss Mu. As for the Master and Madam, it is all the same, they are spending their time in their mountains training their grandchildren and some.” Butler Sun answered honestly.
”Is that so. That is good to know then.” Tang Ai turned to the young man next to Butler Sun. She smiled as she and Wang Ling exchanged gazes, ”Who might this handsome young man be? Are you the Sword God's new disciple, perhaps? My Martial Brother?”
”Pff.” Someone laughed, it was Chang Ping, ”He's not my disciple, he's my—hmm, we haven't decided what kind of lie we'll use. What do you want me to use? We also need one to ensure your entry to the Congregation.”
Intrigued, Wang Ling began to think. He too had not been thinking this through as he was already getting by using the name of Ling Wang, ”Hmm, I haven't thought of that…let's say, Doctor, for now, besides, I've been curing you so that's not really a lie anyway. As for the congregation, we'll think about it later.”
”That works.” Without any hint of shame, Chang Ping's attention returned to Tang Ai, ”So, yeah, he's, my doctor. Will that suffice?”
Tang Ai, looked at the two, ”I heard all of that, Mother. So, can you please tell me the truth now?”
”First, I am not your mother, call me master. Second, that was the truth, what are you doubting me, Tang Ai?” Chang Ping asked Tang Ai with absolute shamelessness behind her words.
Anyone could understand that Chang Ping and Wang Ling was lying through their teeth. No, more than that, it was a barefaced lie the two did not even bother hiding, but Tang Ai smiled and nodded, ”Of course I believe Mother. Good to see you, Doctor… um, I didn't catch your name?”
”Ling Wudi.” Wang Ling stated another barefaced lie. Tang Ai glared at Wang Ling, she did not like liars.
But Chang Ping suddenly spoke, ”It is the truth, so be sure to treat him as you would treat me.”
”As a parent?”
”… no, with respect.”
