Chapter 10: title in the end
"Let see this lost cousin of mine…" I chuckled to myself.
A few seconds passed but no answer has co from the lackeys.
With a small frown, I turned to the one who seed to be the leader of this bunch of idiots.
"Do I have to repeat myself again?"
After hearing my voice he seed to co out of his daze and kowtowed imdiately.
"Y-Yes young master! P-Please follow us…" he answered while stuttering.
Just as I was thinking about the order of things to do, an intense gaze was pinned on . Curious, I calmly turned to face that gaze.
I was a little surprised to see the one who was looking at intensely was non-other than our treasure girl.
She was looking at intensely but it was neither lust nor hate, it seems it is curiosity…
But why curiosity? Trying to solve the puzzle I directly asked her.
"Junior sister, you have stars in your eyes looking at . Why is that?" I asked her tilting my head.
She didn't avert her gaze and answered .
"Senior brother, I want to spar with you." She told without any fluctuation in her expression.
I was taken aback. This girl is not only straightforward but also says what she thinks without a filter.
To test if I guessed her personality right, I asked her a question.
"Do you think you have the qualification to spar with ?" I raised my eyebrow.
Without a delay, she answered .
"Senior brother, the qualification is earned not given. How can I earn the qualification if I don't face a worthy opponent?" she answered calmly and matter-of-factly.
"So what you are trying to say is that how can you get the qualification when you have no worthy opponents here, am I right?"I asked her with a smile.
"Yes." She answered shortly and efficiently.
I nodded to her. Well her logic doesn't have a flaw.
'Peeping eye of heaven'
With a hue of pink in my eyes, I looked at the girl in front of .
Looking at the girl and checking the artifact mories I was pleasantly shocked.
This girl has a rare physique nad [Fate Eluding Physique].
The na says it all for this physique, having this physique you can evade weapon slashes, projectiles, and martial skills instinctively.
The limitation is your speed and body power, aning that you can evade what you are theoretically capable of evading.
Even so, this physique is a powerful one.
"Hmmm. I tell you what, this so-called Li Heng needs a beating, you will fight him and then you and I will have the spar that you were looking for, what do you say?" I answered her after so thoughts.
Even though I want to chop him to pieces myself but I don't want to shit on my image for a low-level mob. A slap or two from should suffice, leaving the rest to this girl shouldn't be a problem…
Thinking for a bit she answered .
"Yes."
I nodded.
"Oh! Can you guide to the outer court punishnt hall?" rembering my plans I asked the girl.
"Yes."
I gestured to her to show the way and turned to the lackeys.
"You lot also follow."
"Yes." They answered and followed.
"By the way, junior sister what is your na?" I just rembered that I didn't ask her na.
"My na is Lai Xinyue, Senior brother." She answered .
"And I am Li Huang." I nodded and introduced myself.
She probably knows but I still did tell her my na just to be clear.
Besides, not introducing oneself is one of the classic moves of a traditional 'young master' so I won't be doing that…
On the other hand, why would I even assu everyone would know when I rarely show my face outside the sword mountain?
Moving towards the outer court punishnt hall we arrived at a big building. If you must know it is a Chinese-style building.
I an what did you expect? Statue of Liberty? Palace of Westminster?
Don't mind , I'm just grumpy…
As we got to the building a guard saw us and co at us almost running.
"Senior brother, is there anything that we can do for you?" he saluted while talking. He was an inner court disciple but in front of , he was very polite and submissive.
"Junior brother, can you tell the head elder here that Li Huang has an important matter to discuss that needs his attention?" I answered him with a smile.
As he heard my na it was like his doubts have faded and his face lost color a little.
"Yes. just a mont, I will relay the ssage to elder Yan." He bowed and answered hurriedly.
The next mont he was running to the outer court punishnt hall with large steps.
Not a minute after, I saw elder Yan who is supposedly the head elder here, coming out of the building towards .
Seeing he co in front of and cupped his fists.
"Chief disciple Li, to what do I owe the pleasure of you coming here in person?" he talked and greeted politely and there was an undertone of fright in his sentence.
If I was in his shoes I might have been the sa. A 'child' with a shitload of power backing him is probably finding fault in your work, who wouldn't be frightened?
"Well, as I was taking a stroll in the outer court, I co to understand that it seems that I have a cousin that I do not know." I told him calmly.
He was visibly confused by my story but he let continue.
"But the problem is that my father doesn't have a sibling so this ans that either my grandfather or grandmother had illicit relationships." I continued calmly adding.
Elder Yan now got the gist of things and he didn't like where this was going.
"My grandfather aside, you must know that my grandmother is the matriarch of White Moon Sect so this is a clear stain to her honor.." I hardly stopped my grin from showing on my face.
"…When she get the wind of this, she would pass you before asking my grandfather for an answer, and even if you survive her in the first encounter, when she cos back with my grandfather after finding out that soone is using their na to gain benefits in the sect I don't think it would end well for you as an elder who is clearly in charge of checking for these things…" I told him as if I was sad about what is to happen to him.
In reality, I didn't loath anyone more than the ones who don't do the one thing that they are getting paid for it, so in my eyes, even if he is skinned alive it would serve him right.
I think he was imagining what would be happening to him if it goes as I say…
The blood was draining from his face at a fast speed as if a vampire was sucking him dry.
Calming himself he looked at with pleading eyes.
"Chief disciple Li, do you have any plans on how to punish this bastard?" he could barely contain his anger.
I, as one, was proud of him for cursing only once. I would curse as a way of communication if I was in the sa situation.
"But of course elder Yan, if not, I wouldn't be wasting your ti…" I smiled at him as a 'caring junior' would.
"Chief disciple Li, Please continue." He answered with a smile that didn't reach his frightened eyes.
How the fuck did he anger not one but two sect leaders from the seven holy grounds? He vowed to himself to find the bastard who didn't report this problem to him and punish him as hard as the rules would allow.
Li Huang, who did not know what the elder was thinking about, continued.
"Well, for starters, let us announce that whoever was wronged by the so-called 'Li Heng' can co to the outer court's punishnt hall to get justice!" I almost throw up when I said justice…
Every ti I used this word even in my last life, it was like I would get a shounen protagonist halo.
To distract myself from all the 'shounen protagonist' bullshit on my mind I kept on talking to elder Yan.
"In the anwhile, we would go to his courtyard and give him a small greeting. What do you think, elder?" I looked so happy when suggesting a greeting that you could almost believe and him being cousins.
Elder Yan swallowed his saliva and nodded.
"…Yes. This will do."
You could see him getting ready to beat the shit out of him.
After a few short calls to so people working for him to do as I told him, elder Yan joined us to go where 'Li Heng' is living.
As we were on the way I was thinking about my Grandmother.
Qiao Shi.
She is the matriarch of the White Moon sect and one of the most powerful experts in the world.
The only problem is that I have never seen her. Why? The reason is my father.
My grandmother wanted my father to marry her disciple but my father married soone with who he fell in love in his travels.
As a result, my grandmother grow cold with my father and refused to see him. And ti passed this way with my father asking his mother to accept his wife, and my grandmother telling him to fuck off.
This continued until my parents died and she still didn't co to see Huang, her grandchild.
I an I don't fault her, when you are a couple of centuries old, 14 years is nothing to you so she could be waiting for to age a bit. On another note, she might be waiting for to go visit her because of her personality, so there is that…
'Now that I think about it, my father was an MC for himself with all these things happening…'
Continuing on the road, I contacted Yuan Jia to tell her that the mission was successful and I will give her my report after I take care of so things.
She just told to be careful.
Looking at the courtyard that the lackey was pointing at as Li Heng's courtyard, I couldn't help but smile.
'let's get this over with...'
