The Heraldry of Xiao Clan II
Hai-Nan: “How are you going to compensate us!?”
Hai-Nan asked with extreme anger. He hated to see his guy lost and insisted that Xiao-Jiang pay for what happened, selfishly…
Tsk!
Xiao-Jiang: “Compensate!? You’re the one who should be compensating us for hurting our men so horribly. I’ll take this to the owner of the city. And you’ll be the one who has to pay…”
Xiao-Jiang said while making a face to look down on Hai-Nan with disgust…
“You!”
Hai-Nan was startled by what Xiao-Jiang said because he was well aware of the ‘No Fighting’ rule in In-See City. He could only clench his fist before shouting…
Hai-Nan: “Let’s go, boys! This is not the end! If you haven’t found your clan’s heraldry, then you know what would happen!”
When Hai-Nan finished his sentence, he and his men left the scene instantly. Xiao-Tong-Fang started to send the injured security guards to the infirmary…
Xiao-Jiang fell into a state of despair. She did not forget to feel grateful for the person who helped her earlier, but she did not know who that was. She looked around and saw no one who fit the profile of the person who took down the bad guy. When she turned to look behind her, she saw Zheng-Fu standing, with his innocent face…
Xiao-Jiang: “Are you alright, little Zheng-Fu?”
“I’m fine, sister!”
Zheng-Fu answered the question relaxedly as if nothing happened. Then he walked to Xiao-Jiang and took out a handkerchief to give to her…
“Take this, sister! Please don’t cry. Crying will diminish your beauty. Just smile! Smiling will make things better. We have ups and downs. Please let me know if you need me.”
Grab!
Xiao-Jiang bent down to hug Zheng-Fu. She then took the handkerchief from him and used it to wipe her tears. She smiled and said…
Xiao-Jiang: “Thank you so much. But I don’t want to bother you because this is the problem that our clan has to deal with…”
She said with a sorrowful facial expression before looking up to the sky and thinking about what just happened. Then Xiao-Tong-Fang walked to her and said…
Xiao-Tong-Fang: “What do we do, little miss Xiao-Jiang? The leader of the clan is away for a meeting. I guess that allowed Hai-Nan to come here to mock us today. If we could not find the heraldry before the leader gets back…”
When Xiao-Tong-Fang mentioned the missing of the heraldry, everybody started to feel sad. They had been together at the auction house for a long time as a big family. When the thought that they might lose the auction house hit them, they felt horrible instantaneously…
Sigh!
“I don’t know what’s actually going on between you and them, sister Xiao-Jiang, but I won’t let them hurt you! I have to go now though today. I’ll see you next time, sister.”
Zheng-Fu felt bad for Xiao-Jiang and her people. But he had a good feeling still about their situation because he had their heraldry with him. He intended to give it back to Xiao-Jiang, but he thought it would be best if no one knew that he was the one who returned the heraldry…
Xiao-Jiang: “Thank you, little Zheng-Fu. It was too bad that you had to witness the harsh fight today. I’m so sorry for that. Let me buy you some snacks next time!”
Hahaha!
“Thank you, sister Xiao-Jiang! But I don’t like snacks. I prefer drinking milk.”
Zheng-Fu said while staring at Xiao-Jiang’s bosom. When she saw that, she had to cover herself instantly. Then she let out a light laugh…
Zheng-Fu left her to the tavern as soon as he finished the sentence. He did not stop anywhere else on the way to the tavern because he believed that Tong-Kuang had been waiting for him. So, the tavern was where he aimed to go to…
At the tavern…
Bang!
“Darn!”
Hai-Nan and the group just happened to stay at the tavern where Zheng-Fu and his group stayed. Hai-Nan developed bulging veins because he was extremely angry at his guy who failed to attack Xiao-Jiang’s men even though he possessed the fifth level of the Foundation Building stage…
Hai-Nan: “You guys are so useless. From now on, I’ll feed you with paddy husks instead of rice!”
“I’m so sorry!”
“Ouch!”
The bad guy was still moaning in pain. Zheng-Fu’s punch fractured his bones in many places…
Yan-Yu: “Tsk! These guys must be bad guys. I supposed they got served big time, looking like that!”
At one of the corners of the tavern, Tong-Kuang, Dan-Chun-Gu, and the whole group were sitting, waiting for Zheng-Fu. They all had finished what they needed to do…
Squeak!
“That’s…!”
One of the bad guys in Hai-Nan’s group pointed at Zheng-Fu and urged everyone in the group to look at him when he walked into the tavern. He remembered that he saw Zheng-Fu at the In-See Napa Auction House with Xiao-Jiang, so he urged Hai-Nan to look at him. Tong-Kuang, seeing that, crinkled his eyebrows instantly…
???: “That boy was at the auction house a minute ago, Master Hai-Nan!”
Hai-Nan turned to look at Zheng-Fu who was walking inside the tavern. The sight of Zheng-Fu made him widen his eyes. A smile occurred on the corners of his lips instantly because he remembered seeing Zheng-Fu with Xiao-Jiang too. He saw him having a conversation with her…
Hai-Nan: “Take him to me!”
“Yes, sir!”
???: “Hey kid! Come with us!”
???: “If you don’t want to get hurt…!”
The bad guys talked to Zheng-Fu roughly to scare him to force him to come with them without fighting. Everybody at the tavern saw the whole thing, but would not dare to stop them, even though they knew that Hai-Nan’s men were nasty people…
“Come with you, uncles?”
“I’m not that old! I just look older than my age…”
???: “Just come with us and don’t argue!”
“What if I don’t want to?” Zheng-Fu asked while making an innocent face. His gesture caused everyone to laugh because they fell for his innocence when he asked that question…
???: “Just don’t say anything and follow us!”
One of the bad guys started to reach his hand to touch Zheng-Fu, but then all of a sudden…
Crack!
A sound of a bone crack occurred and Tong-Kuang appeared in front of the bad guys…
“Argh!”
???: “My arm! My arm is broken….”
“Argh!”
“Boom!”
As soon as the bad guy’s arm was broken, Tong-Kuang projected his energy to prepare for a fight. It chilled the atmosphere in the tavern to the core…
Dan-Chun-Gu: “Brother Tong-Kuang is so superb. Even I could feel the pressure from the force that he’s producing…”
Dan-Chun-Gu and the rest did not have to show their skills. They thought that only Tong-Kuang could deal with the bad guys. Come to think about it, Zheng-Fu alone could take down the bad guys’ group. The people who surrounded Zheng-Fu now were not as great as him…
Hai-Nan: “Y…y…you! Who are you to butt in the business of the Hai Clan?”
Tong-Kuang: “It doesn’t matter that you come from Hai Clan or any other clans. When you bully my young master Zheng-Fu, I won’t leave you alone!”
Boom!
“Th…th…the seventh level of the Foundation Building stage!”
The bad guy with the broken arm who was lying on the ground was shocked all of a sudden after he felt the force that Tong-Kuang projected. He had encountered this kind of force before, so he knew right away which level Tong-Kuang was at. The pressure caused him to choke out blood…
“The seventh level of the Foundation Building stage!”
Hai-Nan’s face turned white. He could feel the cold sweat on his forehead the minute he realized Tong-Kuang’s energy level…
Hai-Nan: “P…p…please forgive my men’s stupidity, great martial artist. They got the wrong guy. Please forgive us…”
Hai-Nan rushed to clasp his hands together and started to speak politely because he was very frightened of Tong-Kuang’s force…
Grab!
“That’s enough, brother Tong-Kuang! They probably didn’t mean it.” Zheng-Fu said while giving a smile to Hai-Nan…
When Hai-Nan heard that, he let out a light smile because he was glad that he and his men would not be beaten up…
Hai-Nan: “Thank you very much, young master! What are you guys waiting for!? Say thanks to the master! Quick!”
“Thank you very much, young master!”
“It’s ok! Don’t make this kind of mistake again.”
Hai-Nan: “Got it, young master. I’ll tell my men not to do it again! Please excuse me!”
Hai-Nan rushed to get out of the tavern…
???: “Master! But we haven’t got upstairs to rest…”
“You go upstairs by yourself if you want to!”
Hai-Nan cursed his men with brutal words and rage. It was already bad that his men failed him at the auction house. Now they did it again at the tavern so much that he could not bear standing there any longer. So, he left immediately…
Tong-Kuang: “Are you alright, young master?”
“I’m good. Don’t worry about me. So, did you take care of the things?”
“Yes, young master!”
Zheng-Fu and Tong-Kuang walked back to the table that Dan-Chun-Gu was at…
Thud!
Dan-Chun-Gu: “Here is the money from selling all the monsters’ parts, young master!”
Dan-Chun-Gu put down three big bags of money on the table, which made the people in the area widen their eyes with greed. But they had to turn back to their business when they remembered how strong Tong-Kuang was…
Zheng-Fu took the bags and opened them. Each bag contained fifty thousand monster crystal coins. Three bags equaled one hundred and fifty thousand monster crystal coins. It was a lot of money…
“Thank you very much, Master Dan-Chun-Gu, for taking care of this. Here. These are your shares.”
Zheng-Fu took one bag and left the other two on the table…
Dan-Chun-Gu: “Young master! This is more than you promised us. I can’t take it!”
Dan-Chun-Gu quickly refused to take that much share because it was more than they had agreed. Initially, he came on a trip without expecting any money. He was here for Tong-Kuang. He thought that half of what he sold would already be too much for him to take…
The rest of the group also thought the same way, even though they liked the idea of taking what Zheng-Fu offered. But they did not really want to take it…
“It’s not that much. You guys have been working hard, especially when we had to go through that Monsters’ Route. This portion is what you guys deserve.” Zheng-Fu insisted on the group having the money. He made sure everyone deserved it with his confident gesture. He even looked at Dan-Chun-Gu with a stern assurance…
“Please take it! And I have to ask Master Lang-Guang-Kuang to do me a favor.”
Zheng-Fu said while handing a cloth package to Lang-Guang-Kuang. And then he further said…
“I would like you to take this to In-See Napa Auction House for me. Please give it to sister Xiao-Jiang.”
Grab!
Lang-Guang-Kuang took the package right away without saying anything. Then he left the tavern instantaneously…
Ji-Zhung-Gong: “Didn’t he care to take his share first?”
“Hahaha!”
Yan-Yu: “That’s him. You would keep his share for him anyway, big brother!”
Zheng-Fu turned to Tong-Kuang and tossed some money into his spatial ring. Then he handed Tong-Kuang a cloth bag…
“Here’s your share. You deserve it too.” Zheng-Fu smiled warmly after he gave Tong-Kuang the money…
When Tong-Kuang received the money bag, he expected to get about a few thousand monster crystal coins. But when he counted the money in the bag, he found that there were twenty-five thousand monster crystal coins in it. He knew that there were fifty thousand monster crystal coins in each bag, so this meant that Zheng-Fu gave half of his share to him…
“L…l…young master…”
“Take it! And don’t say any more words because I’m beat for today. We still have to go to the Cave of the Immortals tomorrow. Let’s go and take some rest.”
When Zheng-Fu finished his sentence, he left the group to his room without waiting to hear anyone say anything…!
