Chapter 818 - 818 72 Righteous Uncle of the Skies Extra for Alliance Hierarch Huamu!
818: Chapter 72: Righteous Uncle of the Skies (Extra for Alliance Hierarch Huamu!) 818: Chapter 72: Righteous Uncle of the Skies (Extra for Alliance Hierarch Huamu!) By this time, in Linzi, who Zhongxuan Sheng was, no longer needed much introduction.Even the foolish knew the weight of Zhongxuan Sheng’s words differed greatly from that of Zhongxuan Mingguang’s.
Although both bore the surname Zhongxuan, Zhongxuan Mingguang completely lacked the qualifications to represent the Zhong Xuan Family.
At this moment, although Zhongxuan Sheng smiled brilliantly and spoke gently, the word “force” was not something that these old, weak, women, and children could withstand.
Indeed, not many in Linzi could bear it either.
Even if Zhongxuan Mingguang offered many advantages, it wouldn’t work.
“Ah Sheng, this is where you are wrong, how could you say someone forced you?”
Zhongxuan Mingguang immediately jumped out to throw his weight around saying, “They can’t survive anymore, shouldn’t we be responsible?”
Calling him foolish, he yet had some cleverness, knowing how to irritate others.
Calling him clever, but he was indeed foolish!
His irritation did not even target the right issues.
These people coming to Xiao Shan Villa to cause a commotion, it was more than just a loss of face for Zhongxuan Sheng.
To put it seriously, this was like splashing dirty water on the Zhongxuan surname.
This scene of commotion at Xia Shan Villa provoked all those who divided Zhongxuan Zun’s business.
But no matter how you put it, this was also a father making some effort and struggle for his son who was in cultivation seclusion at Under Jixuegong.
Seeing that Zhongxuan Sheng’s influence was growing stronger, and having taken off the top Divine Skills, the Law of Heaven and Earth, Zhongxuan Mingguang worried that before Zhongxuan Zun left Under Jixuegong, the position of Family Head would already be settled.
Although perhaps doing nothing could have been better for Zhongxuan Zun.
He truly believed in his son, taking great pride in Zhongxuan Zun.
But clearly, he did not understand just how formidable Zhongxuan Zun truly was.
Merely this name was enough for people to wait.
The outcome was far from settled.
He knew nothing.
Perhaps he even thought that the reason why Zhongxuan Zun gained widespread attention was much credited to him, his father.
“Uncle is right, we should be responsible.
Our Zhong Xuan Family will definitely take responsibility.”
Zhongxuan Sheng was respectfully deferential towards Zhongxuan Mingguang; he had no reason to be disrespectful towards his uncle, and he even wished his uncle a joyful and prolonged life of five hundred years.
“However, let’s set this matter aside for now.
Allow your young nephew to handle some family affairs first.”
He turned around to face the two doormen, his expression calm, “What is your duty?”
The two men looked at each other, ultimately daring not to reply, they tremulously said: “To guard the gate for the young master.”
“Did you fulfill it?” Zhongxuan Sheng asked indifferently.
His voice was not harsh, yet fell like a mountain’s pressure.
The two doormen could hardly bear their responsibility, immediately turning ashen-faced, they knelt on the ground.
One of them explained, “The master insisted on bringing them in, and we dared not stop him…”
“No need to explain to me.” Zhongxuan Sheng waved his hand: “In my Zhong Xuan Family, we have always sought merit on the battlefield and ruled the family as one would the army.
You failed in your duties, not even sending a notice before letting people in.
How could I trust you with my gate?
Go to the back courtyard and receive your punishment!”
“Yes!”
The two doormen left with fear on their faces.
Zhongxuan Mingguang came to cause trouble, but somehow, seeing this plump nephew manage the estate in such a manner, he suddenly forgot what to say.
It seemed like this little fatty had truly grown up, he thought.
For a fleeting moment, it seemed as if he saw Ming Tu…
“Enough.” He suddenly lost interest, about to take his leave, letting this plump nephew off the hook.
But then he heard Zhongxuan Sheng say, “This matter is easy to handle!”
Easy to handle?
Zhongxuan Mingguang’s anger resurfaced; this was a “scheme” he had racked his brains to concoct.
How dare this little fatty belittle it?
“Let’s hear it!” he said sternly, squeezing out authority, “If it’s not fair, Uncle won’t agree with you.”
Zhongxuan Sheng smiled, “Fair enough.”
“Ah!”
At that moment, screams appropriately came from the direction of the back courtyard, presumably the two doormen undergoing their punishment.
Their voices were lamentably agonizing, making one’s teeth ache on hearing them.
Zhongxuan Mingguang’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably, not to mention the group he had brought along, each of their expressions turning clearly panicked.
“Ladies and gentlemen…”
Zhongxuan Sheng, unaffected by the screams, looked toward the elderly, weak, women and children brought by Zhongxuan Mingguang, his expression as usual, “That you have suffered such hard days is due to this young master’s negligence.
There will be an account of this matter…
Bring someone!”
A man in black entered indifferently and stood by his side.
“Take down their details one by one, last name, first name, what they are called, whose family they belong to, for whom they are grieving, and make sure not a single one is missed.”
The screams from the back courtyard continued unabated, but they didn’t affect Zhongxuan Sheng from giving orders at all.
Especially that man in black, who was a Shadow Guard subordinate to Zhongxuan Sheng, his gaze sweeping across like looking at the dead, nowhere close to a clerk, clearly more like an assassin!
“Ah Sheng,” hearing the continuous screams, Zhongxuan Mingguang couldn’t hold back anymore, “Don’t be too harsh on the doorman, it was the uncle who forcefully wanted to enter the mansion, how could they stop him?
Even if you were guarding the door yourself, you couldn’t stop uncle either!”
“Uncle speaks the truth,” Zhongxuan Sheng smiled brilliantly, “For uncle’s sake, today I will not kill them.”
These words chilled everyone’s heart.
Are the rules of the Zhong Xuan Family so strict?
Merely for not guarding the door well and failing to stop Grand Master Zhong Xuan, they would be executed?
And this brutal beating was already considering Grand Master Zhong Xuan’s face?
Within the courtyard, as everyone trembled with fear, Zhongxuan Sheng looked at them again, still smiling, but the feeling he gave was especially cold, “Do not crowd or scramble.
Cooperate well with the recording.
This young master will accord each match personally, ensuring not a single one is missed.
Each family will be given a hundred taels of silver to help you through these hard times!”
“Oh dear, look at my memory!” an old man seemed to suddenly come to his senses, “I forgot to bring in the sun-dried grain, I really am getting old, I better hurry back and check.”
Saying so, he quickly turned around and hurried toward the gate.
No one knew where this grain was coming from in the spring.
Jokingly, to have one’s name remembered by this ruthless and ruthless young master, how could one have a good future?
They feared having silver but no life to spend it!
“Little darling, didn’t you want to eat sugared figurines?
Let’s hurry; I’m afraid they’ll close shop if we’re late.” A woman holding a child quickly left.
Suddenly, everyone in the courtyard had bizarre excuses, running out as if fleeing.
Zhongxuan Sheng, failing to stop them from behind, yelled, “Hey, don’t go, don’t go, I represent the Zhong Xuan Family to give silver!”
He even stomped his foot, “If you all leave like this, how am I to explain to my honorable uncle!”
Zhongxuan Mingguang, even if naive, realized the absurdity of his own actions at this moment and his face turned extremely unsightly.
Zhongxuan Sheng’s expression, as the crowd dispersed, gradually calmed.
He watched the now empty courtyard and ordered in a quiet voice, “Follow them, find out everyone, where they live, which family they belong to.”
His personal Shadow Guard proceeded to execute the order.
Zhongxuan Mingguang suddenly became furious, “What are you trying to do?
They are all people I gathered, are you still going to dig to the root?
If you want to show your ferocity, why not direct it at your uncle!”
How else to say he was but a pillow of embroidery, a moment of irritation revealing all he wished to hide.
“Great Uncle,” Zhongxuan Sheng’s attitude remained respectful, “Please, don’t be upset.
I am not intending to harm them; I truly intend to settle them properly.
How can the reputation of the Zhong Xuan Family be neglected?”
He sighed, “The mud you’ve gotten on yourself, it’s only right for your nephew to wash your trousers.”
Zhongxuan Mingguang was momentarily lost for words.
Zhongxuan Sheng then said, “How about going to the side room for some tea?
It’d also be good to think about how to explain to grandfather.”
Zhongxuan Mingguang glared fiercely, his eyes fierce but with a hint of reservation, “What do I have to explain!”
“The matter just now,” Zhongxuan Sheng was still smiling, “I’ve already had someone tell him.
Imagining uncle being so filial, surely you wouldn’t hide family matters from grandfather, right?”
Zhongxuan Mingguang was always the one to make complaints.
This was using his own methods against him.
“You!” Zhongxuan Mingguang pointed shakily and after a long moment couldn’t conclude his point, eventually flinging his sleeve angrily and leaving.
Jiang Wang, who had been watching this uninteresting farce in silence, shook his head and returned to his room.
As he left the courtyard, he heard the sincerity in Zhongxuan Sheng’s sigh—
“I truly hope my brother Xuan Zun would inherit a third of my uncle’s wisdom!”
…
…
…
(This member of the Huamu Alliance rarely shows up, huh, I wonder who this master is.
O, O.)
(Also, a map of Qi Country is posted, everyone can have a look.
Hopefully, this phrase doesn’t get censored…)
