Old man Ying didn’t even know to respond to the little guy.
He didn’t come to rob or kill this time, okay? Geez, must he be so mean
to a grandpa?
Ever since his mindset had been readjusted, he was also a lot less
violent and more friendly. But, of course, Cheng Xiao Xiao was the only one who
knew about the changes, not the others present.
Cheng Biyuan still looked ghastly, but he noticed that the old man
didn’t make any movements, nor was he exuding any killer. He calmed down
quickly and, at the same time, remember his daughter’s words. Did she….
If Cheng Biyuan’s reaction had given Zhu Xiangyu any suspicion; then
Cheng Zheng Yuan’s words definitely made him think of something. He was stunned
all over again.
Hearing her brother’s words, Cheng Xiao Xiao teased and said, “Zheng
Yuan, you better be careful. Elder Ying and squish you into minced meat with
just one of his little fingers!”
“Miss, please don’t say that. I think young master is already mad enough
at me!” said Old man Ying with a bitter smile.
Just that one line from him stunned everyone there immediately. All of
their eyes widened and they all looked incredulous.
“What? He is an elder of our house?” asked the stupefied Cheng Zheng
Yuan.
Cheng Xiao Xiao nodded. Looking at her father and the rest who were
still stoned, she couldn’t help but covered up her mouth and smiled, “Yes,
Elder Ying will be our Deacon Elder starting today. Not only will he help us
guard our home; he will also help dad and Uncle Zhou with other matters
concerning the family!”
“I am Ying Ziliang. Greetings, Master, Madam!” Old man Ying cupped his
hand and greeted Cheng Biyuan. His tone and mannerism very respectful and
didn’t seem fake at all.
Cheng Biyuan let out a deep, long breath and suppressed his roiling
emotions. He nodded at him and said, “Greetings, Elder Ying. Treat this as your
own home from now on!”
“Exactly, we will let bygone be bygone and no need to bring any of those
up every again. We will help each other out going forward!” Smiling, Cheng Xiao
Xiao chimed in.
Zhu Xiangyu really wanted to smack himself upside his own head. He
really wanted to know if he was dreaming!
If he was right about it, the martial emperor who had attacked the
Cheng’s eight nights ago had just became the Cheng’s deacon elder. Was this
some sort of a joke?
He couldn’t lift his eyes off of this martial emperor. He was dying to
know why he’d decide to stay at the Cheng’s. Even if you pooled every single
person at the Cheng’s, they were still no match for a martial emperor.
In other words, this martial emperor could come and go as he pleased.
There were no reason at all for him to stay and serve the Cheng’s.
Zhu Xiangyu examined him up and down with his eyes and couldn’t discover
anything out of place with the martial emperor. There were no signs that he was
staying against his will. From his look and eyes, he seemed to be staying out
of his own will.
“Hey, kid, didn’t your mother teach you that it’s rude to stare at
someone like that?”
Old man Ying was respectful to the Cheng’s, but that didn’t mean he
would be respectful to everyone. He was still that prideful martial emperor. He
would still annihilate anyone who was rude to him.
“Ugh.” Under the sharp stare of Old Man Ying, he retracted his look with
slight embarrassment. Cupping his hands, he said, “Junior is Zhu Xiangyu of the
Green Mountain Manor. Greetings, Senior!”
“Hrm, don’t bother dropping names in front of me. I couldn’t care less
about those!” Old Man Ying was still a prideful man!
Zhu Xiangyu felt very awkward in front of the hard-to-please old man.
Alas, what could he do about that?
