Chapter 279: Clash of the Two Heroes! (3)
The root of the issue lay in a single remark made by Jing Menghun. With his status, he certainly had the right to interject within Diwu Qingrou's group. Not only could he interject, but he could also make decisions!
The first throne of the Golden Horse Knights Hall was not something to be taken lightly.
However, his interjection now allowed Chu Yang to take hold of his little weakness in an almost unreasonable manner!
With a display of utmost arrogance and unreasonable behavior, he forcefully gave Diwu Qingrou a taste of his authority!
Diwu Qingrou had come to test the waters, so if Chu Yang showed any sign of weakness, his true identity would be seen through. Therefore, Chu Yang could not afford to show any weakness.
On the contrary, he was a young master from the upper heavens! How noble and how transcendent was his status?
You, Diwu Qingrou, a chancellor from a secular nation, I gracing you with an audience is already a tremendous honor! No matter if you are a heroic overlord of a generation or a coward, in my eyes, you are nothing!
I can turn hostile whenever I wish! I can do as I please!
If I grasp a flaw from your subordinate, I can influence the purpose behind your visit! Although I may be rude, I am simply rude—what can you do about it?
Chu Yang's unreasonable antics seemed to exude a sense of arrogance, but combined with his demeanor and gentle temperament, it perfectly showcased the strength of an ‘upper heavens super noble family’!
Jing Menghun was enraged, Diwu Qingrou was depressed, yet Chu Imperial Seat felt a bit anxious.
After all, he was facing Diwu Qingrou!
Who could have imagined whether such a freak like Diwu Qingrou could see through the discrepancies?
Once inside the room, both sides took their places.
However, the previous cordial atmosphere had been entirely shattered under Chu Yama's unreasonable antics!
“Please, this is Amethyst tea I collected from Purple Cloud Mountain; even among the upper heavens, it is one of a kind!” Chu Yang graciously presented the tea cup, but the tea table only had two seats.
One for the host and one for the guest.
It was clear that Young Master Chu had not prepared a seat for a "servant," let alone to enjoy his fine tea leisurely: “Back in the day, Chu Family Ancestral Patriarch, the illustrious Chu Bixiao, wielded a long sword, traversing the upper heavens, claiming countless souls under his blade. His legendary fame and divine might are something that future generations admire and aspire to…”
“Lord Xiang might be mistaken; the weapon used by our Ancestral Patriarch back then was not a sword.” Chu Yang frowned, his face showing some displeasure: “Lord Xiang, such words cannot be spoken carelessly…”
“Ha ha…” Diwu Qingrou's eyes flickered as he replied, “Am I mistaken?”
“Hmph.” Chu Yang coldly snorted, “Lord Xiang, today, I am in a good mood. If it were someone else from the Chu family, I fear they would not take such jokes lightly.”
Considering jokes, since Chu Yang intended to impersonate a Chu family young master, how could he not thoroughly understand the affairs of the Chu family in front of the person in blue?
Not to mention that night, when the person in blue painstakingly dealt with Chu Yang's endless questions, one could clearly see that Diwu Qingrou's probing was out of the question! Chu Imperial Seat had practically asked about every direction of the Chu family’s outhouses… nearly driving the person in blue to madness!
However, Diwu Qingrou's focus lay elsewhere.
“Ah, time has passed for so long; many past matters are forgotten. Yet there is one thing that I still ponder over,” Diwu Qingrou sighed wistfully, “I remember back then, I had a few encounters with Brother Feiling. His lifelong regret makes me lament, and I often wonder if it has been resolved by now…”
“In the vast sea of people, where can one seek…” Chu Yang sighed in lament, “Uncle Feiling’s heartache is likely… difficult…”
