Unwelcome Guest
“Shifu, please take a seat.” Chou Jinghuan led Tian Jiancheng to the seat, a chair carved out of jade and inlaid with jewels, at the centre of the hall, while everyone else had to stand up in respect.
“Please be seated, everyone.” Once everyone was seated after him, Tian Jiancheng continued, “I am honoured to know so many of you would grace my new disciple and myself with your attendance. Please pardon us if there if we fail to live up to you standards.”
“It is everyone’s blessing for Master Chou to learn from you to serve, and it is our honour to be invited here,” the guests responded.
“Let the ceremony commence,” announced Tian Jiancheng.
Proceeding with the ceremony that helped Chou Jinghuan and Third Heaven Palace further their designs, Chou Jinghuan kowtowed to Tian Jiancheng three times and then served up a cup of tea. Smiling, Tian Jiancheng said, “Once I drink this cup of tea, you will officially be my disciple.”
The cup of tea promised Chou Jinghuan brighter prospects, not that Tian Jiancheng would be his last shifu; however, it served as a reminder for others that they needed to be wary even of family henceforth.
Waiting for the cup to almost touch Tian Jiancheng’s lips, Mu Yu suddenly jibed, “Tian Jiancheng, you sure you want to drink that tea? Are you not worried you’ll become the second Master Jinlang?”
Chou Jinghuan looked over his shoulder, blustering, “Who are you? Men, bring him to me.”
“You sure you have enough men? Wait, were you hoping Tian Jiancheng would?”Chou Jinghuan swept his gaze over to his men and found them all out cold and the door to the restaurant shut. He jumped to his feet, pointing at Mu Yu. “What gives you the right to address my shifu by his name?!”
“I hate scumbags playing gentleman and people who betray their family. Your kind is the type that deserves to drown in spit.”
“I’ll teach you not to wag your rude tongue on behalf of my shifu!” Chou Jinguhan summoned a black broadsword to his hand.
“Stop!” called Tian Jiancheng, setting his teacup down.
“Yes, Shifu. Shifu, will you personally execute him to teach others a lesson?”
Tian Jiancheng got to his feet and surveyed Mu Yu while everyone else braced themselves for a one-shot kill – the killer being Tian Jiancheng. Brows rose as high as they could go when the elder suddenly showed subservience with his knees.
“This old one is at your service.”
I was thinking I’d have to make him kneel even though I removed Hundred Face Illusion Formation for just him, Mu Yu inwardly commented. “Get up first.”
“Thank you, Sir.”
“Why did you kneel?”
“Master told me that I am to show you the same respect I show him. I am to take orders from you as I take orders from him.”
It sounds as though Xiang Nan keeps in contact with him, Mu Yu assumed. He trained his gaze on Chou Jinghuan, then stated, “I don’t like traitors.”
“Understood.”
Tian Jiancheng retreated back to Chou Jinghuan before lifting his head, sporting a grin that froze Chou Jinghuan stiff.
