Just like a bloodthirsty beast, Jeralt charged at with his hands outstretched, ready to pounce and probably rip my head off in the process. He greatly resembled his younger brother who also is a fan of physically enhancing his body and attacking. Well, that's probably the only specialty he had and I wouldn't even bla them. They radiate stepping-stones energy, and undeniably unfortunate that they t - their match.
As I had ntioned before, their cultivation level is obviously far higher than mine, approximately one to two Planes higher, which puts at a great disadvantage no matter where you look at it. But then again, I have Hui-ying and the System with , and with my unmatched skills, I was fully confident that I'd be able to tank whatever attack he'd inflict upon .
Swish!
But as it turned out, I really didn't need to do anything about that, just because soone stepped in in front of ... and it was none other than Yan Sun's grandfather.
"Jeralt, what are you doing?!" The grandfather bellowed, his beard making those sudden jerking motion because he was on the verge of exploding. It was clear in his expression that he was enraged at Jeralt's actions. As for , I just stood there, sticking my tongue out to Jeralt to rile him up even more.bender
"Greetings, Master, I didn't an to do anything wrong. I just wanted to teach this disciple a lesson after the disservice he'd done against my brother. Please allow to rough him up a little bit, it would serve as a good lesson for him and it will help him learn that he shouldn't bully others just because he is stronger than them." "You an... how Rutger lost face after attacking first and being defeated by soone a few levels lower than him? Is that what you call a disservice? And did you just say that it will serve a good lesson for him so he wouldn't bully others weaker than them? Right now,
Jeralt, what are you doing right now? Isn't this hypocrisy I'm seeing?" The grandfather spoke with a slightly suspicious tone.
Yeah! You go get him grandpa!
When Yan Sun's grandfather spoke with such clarity, Jeralt didn't know what to say. He was in the wrong and he knew it, but he didn't want to admit anything. That's why he just silently drooped his head, cupped his hands, and headed towards the Threshold where he ca from.
"Wait just a damned mont." Yan Sun's grandfather spoke icily, his voice sending chills up and down everyone's spine as if death was drawing near. Even I felt a little nervous- just a little. "Where do you think you're going, Jeralt? Don't you owe an apology for causing a disturbance in the Third Threshold? You do know how important this Threshold is when it cos to the Black Spirit Tournant, right? Would you like to cut your robe in half?"
There was no need to explain what cutting soone's robe in half ans. It basically depicts soone's removal from a Household, in this case, Jeralt's removal from the Gulong Household. Well, Yan Sun's grandfather probably didn't an anything by it but he was serious when he said that as a warning.
Jeralt was speechless and I watch his confidence crumble down as the grandfather's serious words reached his ears. Without further ado, he cupped his hands and knelt in front of him. "I'm sorry for the disturbance I've caused... and... I'm sorry." He continued after we locked eyes with each other. There was a pure rage in his eyes which clearly told that he'd get back at later but I don't care at all that much. After all, the Black Spirit Tournant is bound to happen soon and he can't touch until that's over.
When the commotion was finally over, Chu-Hua walked up to , her cheeks flushed red with anger. "I would've stepped in, but it turns out I didn't need to. Those brothers really are shaless. If only they didn't have that much influence in this Household, I'd have dealt with them myself." She continued. "In any case, congrats on getting chosen to participate in the Black Spirit Tournant! It seems like we'll be together tomorrow." Chu-Hua continued.
"What do you an?" I asked, cluelessly.
"Well, our Master went out of his way to step in for you... don't you think that ans sothing?" Chu-Hua smiled, patting on the shoulder. "If you still didn't get it, that small gesture basically ant they didn't want any harm to befall you until later on. They're trying to protect you until the Black Spirit Tournant is up!"
"Oh... is that how it works?" I casually confird since I really didn't know. I an, it's only been a few hours since I got here, how would I be able to know their traditions and such in a short span of ti? And of course, I'm not one to read between the lines of soone's gesture.
"Wait... but how do you know that you're chosen as well?"
"Oh, that?" Chu-Hua leaned in to whisper at my ears. "Well, my dad is part of the Inner Court, which is by the Main Building of the Gulong Household. He updates of our Household Master's decisions every now and then. Don't tell anyone though, it's a little secret of mine."
"Are you sure you should trust with that information? It seems a little important. I an, rest assured that I'll keep it a secret, but what makes you think you can trust ? We literally just t a few hours ago."
"Well, it's either I trust you with my life or we die together in the Black Spirit Tournant. Either way, we're stuck with each other so I don't really have a lot of options. Besides, I've taken quite a liking to you... I also took you up on your offer a few monts ago— that I'll follow you for life thingy." She pointed out.
Ah yes, how could I forget. "Suit yourself then. And all the best for the two of us."
"Yep, all the best."
