In Heavenly Water City, we only acknowledge Lord He, the City Lord is nothing!
Listen to that, how arrogant these words are!
Gao Fei had to admit, he was angered, he originally wanted to keep a low profile, to avoid trouble as much as possible, but the other party was so assertive and overbearing, it was too much, leaving him no choice but to use his Thunderous thods to suppress them, I am the City Lord! I am the highest Controller of Heavenly Water City, everyone must obey my commands.
"Hmph!" Gao Fei snorted coldly: "Let He Hentian co out to see !"
"What? What did you say?" The general's eyes widened, the audacity of the other party, to directly call Lord He by his na.
"What? You didn't hear clearly? Well then, I'll say it again." Gao Fei said indifferently: "Let He Hentian co out to see !"
"You..."
"What's with the 'you'? Go and find He Hentian now!"
"I..."
"What's with the 'I'? Are my words not clear enough?"
"Do you know our Lord He?" The general was intimidated by Gao Fei, his tone becoming more polite.
Gao Fei smirked: "What do you think?" Gao Fei purposely put on a mysterious front, aiming to frighten the general across from him, and it seed to be working well.
"Who is it that wishes to see ?" A man's voice ca from afar.
"Lord He has arrived!" The general's body shook, he quickly turned around, knelt to the ground, and kowtowed in salute: "This subordinate greets Lord He!"
"Whooosh!"
The other soldiers also knelt down one after another, performing a kowtowing salute.
In the distance, eight stalwart n carried a luxurious sedan chair, inside which sat a man wearing a golden crown and a yellow robe, handso in appearance, revealing an air of nobility in every movent, followed by a squad of fully-ard soldiers.
Gao Fei's eyes narrowed, he thought to himself: The man sitting in the sedan chair must be He Hentian, right? Indeed, his presence is daunting!
While Gao Fei was observing He Hentian, He Hentian was also sizing up Gao Fei, and soon, their gazes t in the air.
"You're the new City Lord?" He Hentian asked with a detached air.
"Yes," Gao Fei nodded: "My na is Gao Fei."
"Gao Fei? That na is quite vulgar," He Hentian said with disdain: "You might as well be nad 'Gao Feitian.' What do you think? Are you willing to change your na? I seldom offer to na others."
"No need, I am quite satisfied with my own na, there's no need to change it," Gao Fei replied.
"Ungrateful," He Hentian snorted: "Gao Fei, is it? Listen well, I am the ruler of Heavenly Water City, if you want to save your life, you'd better obediently follow my words, if I say go east, you can't go west, if I say catch a chicken, you can't chase a dog, as long as you are orderly, honest, and obedient, I won't make it difficult for you, otherwise..." At this point, He Hentian's tone turned cold: "If you dare act recklessly and challenge my authority, I will make sure you die a miserable death."
"Die a miserable death?" Gao Fei laughed, his smile bright: "May I ask what your official title is?"
"I have no official title."
"Then I really don't understand, if you have no official title, how can you decide my life or death?"
"Didn't that old fellow tell you anything when you ca here?" He Hentian sneered.
"Old fellow?" Gao Fei was startled, then quickly realized: "Are you referring to His Majesty the Human Emperor?"
"Right, it's him."
"His Majesty the Human Emperor indeed told quite a few things, including about you."
"So you are aware of my identity?"
"I know." Gao Fei nodded, "You are the Emperor's grandson."
"Shut up!" He Hentian roared in fury, "I have nothing to do with that old fart! If you dare to spout more nonsense, I will tear your mouth apart."
"The truth is the truth, and it will never change."
"You..."
"He Hentian! Do you dare to make a wager with ?"
"A wager?"
"Yes! Do you dare!" Gao Fei yelled at the top of his voice, "Do you dare!"
"What a joke! There's nothing in this world that I dare not do!" He Hentian snorted, "Speak up, what wager do you want to make!"
"Do you dare to leave alone for a month," Gao Fei articulated each word, "do you dare!"
"Leave you alone?" He Hentian frowned.
"That is to say, within a month, no matter what I do, you cannot interfere or stop . Simply put, you give a month of freedom to try and change you, change Heavenly Water City. How about it, do you dare to take this bet?"
"Change ?" He Hentian burst into laughter, "That's utterly ludicrous! You think you can change ? Dream on."
"Stop talking nonsense, just answer , do you dare to make a wager with ! If you don't dare, then pretend I never said anything. I see you don't have the guts..."
"Who says I've got no guts?!"
"So, do you dare to take the bet?"
"What's there not to dare! It's just a wager. I accept!"
"Good!" Gao Fei nodded, "Empty talks an nothing, better put it in writing. If you go back on your word and refuse to own up, I'll publicize this matter, tell the whole world that you are a faithless and despicable villain."
"Nonsense! I would never go back on my word!"
"Then let's put it in writing!"
"Fine! Let's put it in writing, who's afraid of whom!"
Soone imdiately fetched paper and brush, and at Gao Fei's request, they drafted two copies of the agreent. Both Gao Fei and He Hentian signed and affixed their seals before each took one copy.
"See this?" Gao Fei flicked the agreent in his hand and smiled, "If you don't want to be known as a faithless villain, then just follow the agreent obediently."
"Rest assured," He Hentian huffed, "I may not be a gentleman, but I at least keep my word. Since I promised you, I will certainly not go back on it! You only have one month, and if you can't change within that ti, you'll be the one to die."
"Thinking of killing ? That won't be so easy! Anyway, I'm off to the City Lord's Mansion to take a look around, we can chat so other ti." Dropping that line, Gao Fei swaggered off, with Chen San and Liu Qing quickly following behind.
"What audacity! A re Unity of Heaven and Man Realm fellow dares to challenge , utterly ignorant of his own mortality!"
"The old man is becoming more senile by the day, appointing such a third-rate piece to be the city lord, I really don't know what he is thinking."
"Eh? Wait! Dammit, I've been duped!"
When He Hentian cald down, he realized sothing was wrong. He ca to find fault with Gao Fei, not to wager. Damn it! What a cunning guy, purposely provoking , then setting up this bet. Now, he has a month of safety, and in that ti, I can't lay a finger on him?
After figuring it out, He Hentian couldn't help feeling nauseated. He wanted to go back on his word? But at the sa ti, he didn't want to carry the reputation of being "faithless."
"Fine! Let him have his month!" He Hentian stomped his foot, "Just a month! I refuse to believe he can stir up any trouble! After one month, I'll take my ti dealing with him!" He felt annoyed at having been unwittingly outsmarted.
Have I beco too comfortable in Heavenly Water City, causing my intelligence to decline?
He Hentian muttered to himself, determined: No, I must stay alert in the future, and not beco complacent again!
