Chapter 538 – Angry Chastising; Ruining of the Martial Emperor (2)
Mo Xuanzun, with a slight smile, turned toward the slowly approaching emperor and said, “Your Majesty. This was, indeed, matters within the Cheng’s. We wouldn’t do anything that will cause you any trouble.”
“Okay, keep in mind that’s what you have promised me!” said the emperor as he gave them a profound look before leaving with his men.
He had been thoroughly embarrassed as the emperor of this country; naturally, he wouldn’t want to stay behind.
“Housemaster Cheng, Madam Cheng, Young Master Mo, Old Man Ying, we meet again.”
The old dean of School of Divine Condor showed up. There was a smile on his face but he was somewhat envious of Old Man Ying.
Nevertheless, he was still having a difficult time making up his mind.
He couldn’t yet get over the idea of a sacred contract. That would mean handing his life over to someone else. It was not an easy pill to swallow!
Luckily, he still has tens of years to mull over it. He wasn’t in a hurry to breakthrough.
Cheng Biyuan and the group nodded at the old dean as a greeting. Old Man Ying even waved his arm rudely and said in an impatient tone, “Old Dean, this doesn’t concern you. Step aside!”
“You…” The old dean, finding that infuriating and amusing, had a pretty good idea of Old Man Ying’s personality and was not offended by him. He nodded at his men and took a few steps back.
By now, the First Elder had completely calmed down. Thinking about the entire event from beginning to end, he had it all figured out immediately.
They had started the attack right when he was bragging about taking over Cheng Biyuan’s accomplishment. That meant that they were already aware of his plans.
He was both startled and scared. He had completely underestimated Cheng Biyuan. He was no longer that nobody back in the days who was easy to handle.
Time could, indeed, change many things.
Many thoughts crossed him mind and he looked progressively gloomier. When he finally looked over at Elder, his eyes widened all of a sudden and he almost cried out in surprise.
Elder was now a martial emperor!
He had just become a martial king two months ago and now he was a martial emperor? What kind of joke was this?
First Elder wanted to howl into the sky. He couldn’t accept this!
“The two of you asked for me to show up earlier. I wonder what you’d like to talk to me about?”
Cheng Xiao Xiao looked over at Cheng Yutang and First Elder. Staring squarely at First Elder, she smiled coldly and said, “Did you want to discuss about how to take over Sacred Land Zhongyuan?”
“Cheng Xiao Xiao, you are being imprudent! You can’t just accuse people like that…” Cheng Yutang had no idea who Cheng Xiao Xiao was talking to and he shouted back at her reflexively.
“He’s too noisy. Smack him!” Cheng Xiao Xiao scanned over coldly.
SMACK!
A crisp smacking sound resounded in the open area and even those who were far away could hear it clearly.
Cheng Yutang, as a martial king, didn’t even have a chance to dodge before he was smacked.
He was dumbfounded over the slap. If it wasn’t the burning pain on his cheek, he wouldn’t even know that he was smacked. He hadn’t even seen the one who struck him.
“You hit me?!” Cheng Yutang roared in rage when what happened finally sank in.
“Who do you think you are?” said Cheng Xiao Xiao coldly. She had nothing but disgust toward this person. She said coldly, “You aren’t worth me to hit you myself.”
“Miss, is this man a fool? Clearly it was me who struck him. Why would he think it was you? Should I slap him a few more times to help him see things clearly?” said Old Man Ying with a smile.
Listening to the conversation between the two of them, Cheng Yutang figured out that he had made a mistake. He gave Old Man Ying an angry and deadly stare.
That did not bother Old Man Ying at all. Never mind it was just a slap, even if he was to kill him, it was just a matter of lifting a finger.
