Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

Once Huaqing reached where Hong Dali was, he looked at the three people who were obstructing the way and said in a low voice, “These three are Honorary Aristocrats who came with Young Master Li Tianxing. They have come specially to challenge us. This one is…”

He was just going to say his name when Dali interrupted him. “Ah, there’s no need to introduce him. Anyway, I won’t be able to remember it. All I need to know is that he is not one of us.”

When they heard what Hong Dali said, Tang Muxin and the others could not help but burst out in laughter.

Tianyi showed Hong Dali a thumbs-up sign covertly. He was indeed worthy of being called Big Brother Dali, always so cool!

The Honorary Aristocrats who were watching from a distance saw Hong Dali win a small victory against the other side as soon as he met them and could not help but secretly feel happy.

After all, those who were here were all Honorary Aristocrats. Under normal circumstances, no matter where they went, people would be respectful and subservient. However, Hong Dali could not even be bothered to remember their names! How could these three people be able to tolerate it?

Sure enough, as soon as Hong Dali said that he could not even be bothered to remember their names, their expressions changed. The one in the middle said angrily, “Hong Dali, do you really think you can put us down just because you have connections with the Galaxy Aristocrats? We are Yellow-level Honorary Aristocrats. The Yellow-level is half a level higher than yours. How dare you be so arrogant!”

“Eh? That’s right!” Hong Dali shamelessly admitted. “I’m arrogant, what can you do to me?”

The advantages of not being able to fight here were now evident.

We’re not to fight here, right? In that case, let me show you how arrogant I can be, hehe. I presume you are trying to get me to attack you right from the beginning, right? Let us see who will end up attacking first!

The Yellow-level Honorary Aristocrat was so angry he clenched his fist tight. Then, he suddenly laughed. “Haha, I didn’t expect you to play the rules so well. Yes, that’s right, we cannot fight here or we may be punished.”

“Oh,” Hong Dali said indifferently. Then, he sniffed. “I can’t beat you up and it’s a waste of energy to scold you. A good dog does not block the way, move away.”

He really could not be bothered to talk to these few useless idiots. What could they do here?

But there was nothing he could do. Li Tianxing had given precise instructions before they came. They were to do whatever they could as long as it dragged Hong Dali down. Li Tianxing would take responsibility for whatever happened! Anyway, Li Tianxing brought people here to kick up a fuss and they were not afraid of making a big scene. As long as they could force Jiang Dongliu to give in, the Elders would be all be on his side and then would he not be able to do as he liked in the future?

Seeing that Hong Dali was about to leave, the three Yellow-level Honorary Aristocrats suddenly became arrogant again. “Hey, what’s the matter, are you ready to leave? Don’t, we haven’t got to know each other better. Why are you leaving?”

Now they were basically just hanging on to Hong Dali and refusing to leave him alone. This made Hong Dali extremely frustrated.

In fact, sometimes when all the scheming was in the open, the worse was people like these who stuck to him like gum. It was obvious these few people were out to annoy Hong Dali. They were really going all out this time, without any sense of shame for themselves.

“Since you are all so shameless, then I have to help you fulfill your wish.” Hong Dali exhaled softly. “Tell me, what do you want? You can try to provoke me into attacking you. Who will come first?”

“Ah, you really intend to do it?” The Yellow-level Honorary Aristocrat who was the leader was overjoyed. As long as Hong Dali could be forced to make a move, he would have performed a great service and his Lord would be sure to reward him handsomely!

What was face? Could it be eaten?

So, the one in the middle of the three Honorary Aristocrats really stuck his face out. “Come, come, come. Here, hit me! If you do not make any moves today, you are not a man!”

The other two added fuel to the fire. “Yeah, you’re not a man if you don’t do anything!”

By this time, the Honorary Aristocrats who were just watching had just about enough—

“This group of people is really arrogant. They are obviously out to provoke Hong Dali into action!”

“That’s obvious. In a situation like this, should he attack or not? If he makes a move, he will be punished, but if he doesn’t, this bunch of people has really gone too far! They are really too cocky!”

“It’s hard to decide. This time, they are really going to have a falling out. Sigh, it’s a difficult situation.”

As they listened to the discussion that surrounded them, Tang Muxin and the rest frowned. These few Honorary Aristocrats were obviously trying to goad Hong Dali into action, which according to the rules, would cause him to be punished during the advancement assessment. He could even lose his status as an Honorary Aristocrat. That would mean they had succeeded.

Then, the next thought that followed was the fact that Li Tianxing was behind all this…

“Dali, if possible, just bear with it for a while. It won’t be too late to wait until the Advancement assessment ends to beat them up.” Tang Muxin secretly tugged at a corner of Hong Dali’s shirt. “Otherwise, if we get into trouble, we will have fallen into their trap.”

In any case, today, other than for himself, Hong Dali really wanted to help Jiang Qianxue. He was a prodigal and did not care about his reputation. However, if he really attacked them and matters got out of hand, he would be letting Jiang Qianxue and Yin Tianzong down—the two of them treated him like a good friend and had entrusted him with something so important. He could not possibly let them down, could he?

So, Hong Dali sniffed his nose and said in a flat voice, “There really are all kinds of people, they run over here by themselves so eagerly asking for a beating. Sigh, forget it. This is actually quite boring. I’ll save the offer of your face and hit it later.”

He left after saying that. The three Yellow-level Honorary Aristocrats suddenly burst out laughing like they had gotten their way and laughed loudly. “Oh my God, Hong Dali, you are really quite patient, aren’t you? I thought you would definitely do it. I didn’t expect you to cower like that, haha! We even put our faces out there for you to hit and you did not do it, so disappointing!”

“Yeah, I guess that’s all there is to him. Sigh, when the Advancement assessment begins later, he will be totally beaten. It’s better for him to cower now than later. If he does it later it’ll be really embarrassing.”

As the three Yellow-level Honorary Aristocrats guffawed, Hong Dali’s people clenched their teeth tightly, their fists clenched.

In fact, sometimes there was no need to fear the strong, but the shameless.

The surrounding onlookers, however, heaved a collective sigh of relief. It was not too bad, luckily they did not really start fighting.

These people were indeed too arrogant. No wonder Jiang Qianxue and Yin Tianzong were so anxious. If it was already like this with Hong Dali, you could imagine the pressure on Jiang Qianxue’s grandfather.

“Boring.” Hong Dali pouted and got ready to leave.

Unexpectedly, just at this moment, two chirps were heard. Then, Aka flew out of the space watch by himself and landed on Hong Dali’s head!

The little guy was probably hungry. Once it landed on Hong Dali’s head, it chirped loudly and started pecking at Hong Dali’s hair.

Damn, he forgot to get some attribute gems from the Seven-Colored Dragon King. Now Aka was hungry and there was nothing to feed him with!

“Ah, Xiaoyi,” Hong Dali looked at Ling Xiaoyi. “Help me buy one hundred +10 attribute gems. Aka is hungry.”

“Okay, Young Master.” Ling Xiaoyi got ready to leave.

However, just then, Li Tianxing’s three Yellow-level Honorary Aristocrats pointed at Aka and laughed wildly. “Look, look. There’s an ugly bird nesting in Hong Dali’s head. Hahaha! That’s interesting!”

“Yeah, yeah, look at that ugly bird. It only has a few feathers on its body, so pathetic, hahaha!”

“This ugly bird reminds me of an idiom. What was the saying? A phoenix called a distress was worse off than a chicken, right? Hahahahaha!”

Damn. Once he heard what they said, Hong Dali froze.

Frankly speaking, Aka was indeed a little ugly, and he was really a phoenix. It was bad enough that you talked about it quietly behind our backs, but to say it outright in front of our faces?

No matter what, Aka was the child of Sister Green Phoenix. With Hong Dali’s fondness for animals, even if he did not treat Aka as his own son, he did not treat him worse than that. They actually said it was a phoenix in distress and beneath a chicken?!

“Xiaoyi, wait.” Hong Dali chuckled darkly and glanced at the Yellow-level Honorary Aristocrats. “I changed my mind.”

Hong Dali changed his mind!

He was getting ready to make a move!

Aristocrat Tianyi hurriedly grabbed Hong Dali’s arm. “Dali, the situation here is special. Let them say what they like, there’s no need for us to argue with them and affect your future, right?

Well, Tianyi had good intentions. He really did not want Hong Dali to be provoked into action. That would be falling right into their trap, would it not?

“Ah, I know.” Hong Dali nodded. What he said next had Tianyi completely depressed. “But if I don’t give them a good beating, there might be even more people coming to ridicule us. It’s okay, don’t worry.”

Don’t worry? They were about to start fighting, how could he not worry?!

Once they heard that Hong Dali was going to fight them, the three Yellow-level Honorary Aristocrats immediately smiled!

If Hong Dali made a move, it would be exactly what they wanted. If they managed to take Hong Dali down, Young Master Tianxing would have a lot of benefits for them in the future!

In fact, if it came down to it, with Li Tianxing’s status, he could make a move on Hong Dali directly. But unfortunately, Hong Dali won the Galaxy Super Mecha Wars. In order to avoid suspicion, he definitely could not lay his hand on Hong Dali.

Although he could not do it himself, it did not mean that his subordinates could not. Especially on an occasion like this, friction was normal, so it was within reason for Hong Dali to be provoked into action. That would not be on him.

Although it was not a good thing to invite ridicule, it was a useful tactic sometimes.

“Come, come, come, do you want to fight? Here, here, hit here!” The man who had put his face out previously did it again. “Hit here. If you don’t do it, you’re not a man!”
