C194 (1/2)
A man in his sixties walked out of the door. His hair was slightly white, and he was tidily dressed. His face was dark, but there were no wrinkles on it due to his fat body.
”Uncle Zhong!”
Uncle Zhong was the steward of the Sixth Master's house. His name was Zheng Zhong, and he had followed the Sixth Master for over thirty years. He could be counted as the most capable assistant by his side.
”En,” Zheng Zhong nodded his head and stepped out of the doorway. With a solemn expression, he sized up Lin Zichen and the others, ”Who was so arrogant here just now?”
It had to be said that Zheng Zhong had a special sort of domineering aura. After all, he had followed the Sixth Master for so long.
Elder Tan wanted to speak, but was stopped by Lin Zi Chen. Lin Zi Chen walked up and cupped his fist: ”Uncle Zhong, right? I'm Lin Zi Chen. I'm here to visit Sixth Master, would you mind informing me?”
Zheng Zhong let out a cold humph, walked up with his hands behind his back, and looked at Lin Zi Chen: ”Lin Zi Chen? Then the Master Lin he is talking about is you, right? ”
Lin Zi Chen lightly smiled, nodded and said: ”This junior is untalented, I was called by my friend.”
”Haha, you've given me quite a bit of face! Being so arrogant at your age and daring to call yourself a man, are you not afraid of disaster?” Zheng Zhong said coldly.
”Haha, Uncle Zhong is right. In the future, Zi Chen will definitely pay attention. But we don't have much time, so we really need to meet Sixth Elder.”
”See Sixth Elder? ”Hmph, Sixth Elder, you guys …” Halfway through his words, Zheng Zhong suddenly stopped, and a pair of eyes locked onto a person, Sang Tianlei.
”You … The Sang family kid? Hmph, why are you here too? Have you forgotten what Lord Sixth said last time? ”
”I …” Sang Tianlei did not know what to say. The last time he had refused the granddaughter of the Sixth Elder, the Sixth Master had angrily told him that the Sang family could never step back into this house ever again.
Lin Zi Chen approached and said: ”Haha, Uncle Zhong, we came here today to apologize. Could you give us a chance?”
”Opportunity? Hmph, who doesn't know Sixth Master's bearing, but to the Sang family … ”No need to talk about it, they did it first. Brat, you should know Sixth Master's position at the Crossing Gate, right? You actually rejected him without even seeing Miss Wei'er. Aren't you making others laugh at us?” Zheng Zhong glared at Sang Tianlei.
Sang Tianlei lowered his head. He did not know what to say, but he had already begun to feel discontent in his heart. He had just broken through to the Clasping Yuan Realm, so his heart was already floating.
Lin Zi Chen noticed the change in Sang Tianlei and immediately patted his shoulder. Shaking his head, he walked towards Zheng Zhong and said, ”Uncle Zhong, we must see Sixth Elder today. If we don't settle the matters of the Sang Family, I won't be able to leave the ferrygate.”
Zheng Zhong looked at Lin Zi Chen and laughed contemptuously: ”You've dealt with the Sang family's matters well? Why? Kid, you have once again made me experience your arrogance, but don't you know, in this world, the most annoying thing is a arrogance without capital! ”
”Haha, Uncle Zhong, then in your eyes, what is capital?” Lin Zi Chen slowly withdrew his smile and his tone became serious.
Zheng Zhong frowned when he heard this, then said, ”Since it's like this, I'll give you a chance. If you enter this gate today, I won't stop you!”
After he finished speaking, Zheng Zhong stood with his hands behind his back and lightly laughed. But in the next second, the smile on his face instantly froze, and his entire face was filled with surprise.
The moment he said that last word, Lin Zi Chen's body moved slightly. However, within a second, he had already bypassed him and the two men in suits. He stood within the doorstep, and his expression was still as polite as before.
”Uncle Zhong, thank you!”
After saying that, Lin Zichen turned around and walked inside. Zheng Zhong angrily shouted: ”You can't go in!”
”Hmm?” Lin Zichen slowly turned his head, ”Are you going to go back on your word?”
Zheng Zhong had a serious expression on his face as he reevaluated the youth. It seemed that he really did have some ability at such a young age, but so what? Such petty tricks were nothing in front of the palace gates!
”Someone, come!” With Zheng Zhong's words, at least six to seven men in suits ran out from the courtyard. When they saw Lin Zichen, they immediately surrounded him.
”Uncle Zhong!” Everyone said in unison.
Lin Zi Chen smiled and shook his head: ”Such a big battle formation? Uncle Zhong, I really did not think of making a move. I only wish to meet with Sixth Elder once, and hope that you don't force me. ”
”What big words, there are no ordinary people in Sixth Master's sect. You do have some ability, but are you saying that you don't even care about martial artists?”
One must know that the people responsible for defending this door are not ordinary people. They are all martial artists' guards who have been hired at a high salary. Other than the Sixth Master, no one has this kind of ability here at the Crossing Gate.
Every single one of them had light footsteps and a calm aura. It was obvious that they had all been trained, but even the late stage of the Natal Stage martial artists were not enough for him to face, let alone these people who had not stepped into the Na Yuan level.
Zheng Zhong laughed loudly when he heard this. ”Hahaha, kid, I don't think you're being arrogant anymore. You're a complete madman. I'll give you a chance. Leave now, or else …” You should understand that even if someone were to die in this door, no one would care. ”
Elder Tan stepped forward and said: ”Master Lin, let's go!”
”Yes, Master Lin, let's go!”
