Chapter 146: 3) The Zhao Family.
Meanwhile,
The sound of footsteps came from the courtyard's entrance.
Two people, a boy and a girl around some sixteen seventeen years old walked in.
The boy frowned as he saw Wang busy himself with refining some concoction.
"Wang, what are you doing here?! The Patriarch has summoned all the family members and servants to pay respect to the Young Master who came from the capital... Don't you wanna see the Young Master from the capital?" he asked, his voice full of disdain towards the cocky wang.
"Also what's this? Even a waste like you wants to refine pills now? Have you taken a look at your reflection in the mirror? Ops I forgot mirror breaks when it has to show your reflection. Haha... Maybe you can check your reflection when I take a piss... Shouldn't you first learn the basics of Alchemy before jumping into the act not to mention you don't even possess profound consciousness?"
"Hmph!" The girl next to the boy couldn't help but mock him with a sneer.
Someone who couldn't even be bothered with cultivation had suddenly changed his mind and started refining pills…they thought that Wang had finally lost his sanity!
Both the boy and girl were a follower of Young Master Zhao Tui, so, of course, they regarded Wang as an enemy to bully and good down upon.
Although he was the most unwanted servant, the Zhao family took extra care of him because his father had once saved the Patriarch Zhao.
...
Wang's expression soured as soon as he heard their taunts.
He was a traveller... Someone with cheat, the almighty system.
Pay respects to the Young Master from the capital?
Dog blood... My foot!
What kind of dog-shit was that? Was he even worthy?
"I heard, The Young Lord seems to have some terrifying background, and even the Patriarch and ancestor has to be respectful before him…"
"I heard that too! The origin of that Young Lord is something we can't even imagine… the young lord is even connected to the emperor, managing the cheif judiciary,"
The two didn't pay any attention to Wang's expression and kept talking to themselves about the Bai Lung... Two NPC providing the information to the chosen son of heaven about the villain.
How magical...
---
An unfathomable Young Lord? Chief judiciary? Connected to the emperor? Terrifying background?
Haha! What a joke... Wang is someone who has read countless cringe cultivation novels, from the tip he can easily tell that this person is like a cheap cannon fodder antagonist of the story.
Wang can even tell that this Young Master has no talent in cultivation even though the subject of cultivation wasn't brought up.
Wang who likes to analyze things can easily tell who is weak, who is strong and who is sheep pretending to be a tiger.
Anyone who starts by saying I am in Ding Dong realm and my Father is Ching Chong, that person is weak... Anyone who is introduced with his family as Ning Nong and does Bing Bong is a sheep pretending to be a tiger.
The absolute powerhouse is always introduced with a poetic setting.
Not to mention, Wang possesses a system... Who even was this Young Master? Haah* at best this young master can wash his feet after some years.
Before him, all the existences of the East Mountains were nothing more than wooden toys he could move around at whim.
The strongest in the Realm was nothing more than any that could be squashed under his pinky.
---
Wang simply dismissed their existence and decided to go back to his own matters and make some pills.
Thanks to the system he had already awakened the mere profound consciousness.
"I am not interested in meeting any Young Master or whatever. You two should get the heck out of my place!"
Wang had no good feelings for the two who arrived and mocked him, so he immediately put on a harsh expression and dismissed his guests with a cold command.
This was his area... The place given to him, he holds every right to send them away.
"You… You! Good! Good! Good! ... Very good!"
His sudden arrogance stunned and enraged the two.
Wang wasn't like this on regular days.
Had he gone crazy or what? He must have hit his head real bad.
His behavior was kind of weird and more withdrawn than before.
The youth was ready to teach Wang a lesson for his insolence, but the girl next to him held him back and said:-
"Let's not ruin our chances by causing a ruckus here. We should inform the Patriarch…the Patriarch will surely punish him for his actions!"
The girl said her piece and pulled the boy to leave.
Wang, on the other hand, was shocked out of his mind.
...
'Whatever! I will just go and join them. I have to see who is the Young Master of this unfathomable background with great connection…'
Wang's expression changed and he silently followed after the two as soon as he reasoned about the matter in his mind not wanting to anger the patriarch.
As a servant, he didn't wish to sleep with pigs.
...
Upon seeing him walking behind them, the two couldn't help but laugh out. What happened to the guts he showed just a moment ago? Sure enough, the Patriarch's threat could tone him down!
"Hahaha…"
"Didn't he say he wasn't interested?"
"It seems he still knows his place and understands that he's nothing but a servant,"
The two in the front ridiculed in soft voices, but Wang heard every word that rolled off their tongues.
His complexion turned even more unsightly, and a murderous intent rose from the depths of his eyes.
As someone from the modern world, it's only reasonable for him to be easily offended.
He might even start a war if someone mistakenly said him miss instead of sir.
Still, he held back!
He couldn't reveal his origin and his powers yet.
He was just a small fish growing in a big pond.
The two youths in front of him didn't know that they had walked down the path to Hell, and a Yama was watching them with great intent ready to unleash that whip of death.
Although Wang's cultivation base wasn't all that high right now, he could still easily make minced meat out of the two using methods from his previous life.
Kame hame ha, tho fairly a weak art, could still be enough to put these two to sleep.
[ Ding! Negative... It isn't even powerful to kill an ant in this realm ]
'oh!' Wang got a hard reality check.
….
In the Ancient Zhao Family's Great Hall
Many powerful figures stood around inside the Hall.
Their mighty spirit energy surged around, and Divine lights loomed around their figures.
Sacred magical runes intertwined around them, showing the profound heritage of the Ancient Zhao Family at its best.
Many more members of the Ancient Zhao family also stood outside the Hall.
Most of them were youths, male and female, who were shrouded in talented halos. They were the elite geniuses of the mighty Zhao Family, and they were quite famous in the areas.
All of them watched on with great curiosity and excitement, but none dared to make a sound... It was a rare moment, someone form the capital was here, someone big.
Not to mention, the people inside the Hall were the highest-ranking Elders of their Family!
Even the Great Elder who had gone into seclusion thousands of years ago, and was considered to have died amidst his seclusion, had come out to personally receive the newcomers!
Just who was the young man in black sitting at the head seat and drinking tea with an indifferent expression?
The maid next to him was a breathtaking beauty, too! Just like a Fairy who had descended from the Ninth Heaven!
The life seemed fairly good... Riches, maidens, Influence, connections.
Every male servant felt jealous seeing the life of the Young master while female servants hoped to be a little maid of this Young master.
One should only eat as much as they can swallow.
Sippp!
Meanwhile,
Bai Lung look around the people of Zhao family with sharp interest.
He could feel the weight of their gazes upon him, sensing their curiosity and excitement at his presence.
He calmly took another sip of his tea, enjoying the taste while seemingly unfazed by his surroundings.
The atmosphere in the room was one of eager anticipation, with everyone wondering what this Young Master from the capital could possibly want with the Zhao family.
Some of the younger members couldn't help but whisper amongst themselves, speculating about who this mysterious visitor might be and what kind of fearsome power he must wield.
The sight of the Great Elder, who had gone into seclusion for thousands of years, being present for the occasion was not lost on Bai Lung.
The importance of his visit was clear, and the fact that such an important figure had come out of seclusion specifically for him spoke volumes, the depths.
