Chapter 109: Come Over and Call Me Master
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After the comprehensive assessment, Xu Bai gave Zhu Cong a call, expressing his thoughts implicitly.
“Who exactly is An Ya?”
“…You have to acknowledge me as your master first.”
When Zhu Cong heard Xu Bail s call, he was stunned for a moment before answering subconsciously.
Initially, even though he said that, he no longer had any expectations for Xu Bai. He even subconsciously began to think that Xu Bail s promised place should not be his thief sect.
After all, Xu Bai’s potential was there.
Compared to the eight righteous path sects, his thief sect was clearly not enough. Moreover, there were no good techniques in the thief sect. He also felt that if Xu Bai joined, he might waste Xu Bails potential.
But…
This was what Xu Bai wanted from Zhu Cong.
“I’d like that.”
Zhu Cong was stunned.
He seriously suspected that he had heard wrongly. Or rather, it was because he had thoughts in the day and dreams at night. As a result, he had a beautiful dream in broad daylight.
What did he hear?
Zhu Cong subconsciously took the phone from his ear and glanced at it. It was indeed the interface of the call. Then, he put the phone back to his ear and opened his mouth. “…What did you say?”
“I said yes.”
Xu Bail s tone remained unchanged as if he was drinking tea. “Then can you tell me who An Ya is now?”
Zhu Cong’s face instantly darkened.
He understood.
This guy was playing with him for nothing.
Delicate.
He was the one who was taking advantage of others for nothing.
That wasn’t right.
He was the leader of the thief sect. Xu Bai was still far from showing off in front of him.
Zhu Cong reacted and mistakenly thought that Xu Bai was playing some low-end tricks here. He did not expose him and directly stroked his beard. “I’ve paid my respects to the Ancestral Masters. After drinking the apprenticeship wine and preaching the Dao, it’s considered. How about this? Come over on Monday and I’ll tell you when you’re done.”
Xu Bai nodded. “Alright, I’ll go over on Monday. You should get ready first.”
With that, Xu Bai hung up the phone.
Done!
After Monday, if nothing went wrong, he would be the future leader of the thief sect, the 54th sect master of the Miracle Hands Sect.
Look.
This identity.
This status.
Wasn’t he up in an instant?
What’s more, the way he begged others to acknowledge him as their master was different. Then, he had to experience a soul-stirring and even melodramatic internal sect conflict before the sect master took notice.
Xu Bai had fought for the position of the future sect master just by standing.
Zhu Cong, who was listening to the dial tone on the other end of the phone, was in a daze for a long time.
Hiss!
Could it be that he really wants to join my thief sect?
That wasn’t right.
Was this guy trying to provoke him?
Zhu Cong recovered from his shock.
The next second.
“Nianyan!”
“…Grandpa?”
“Let’s go and buy yellow paper and five animals with Grandpa.” “Ah! Is someone going to acknowledge me as their master?”
“Yes, Xu Bai.”
Zhu Nianyan, who was holding a motorcycle helmet and wearing a leather jacket and pants, was about to drive the motorcycle to a tunnel to take photos and clock in. When she heard this, she blinked at her grandfather who was walking upstairs.
Immediately after.
Zhu Nianyan seemed to have thought of something. Her smoky makeup turned a little red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At night.
At this moment, Chao Yin Hotel in the central district was heavily guarded. The security of the hotel, which was also under the Su Banking Group, was almost every three steps to ensure the hotel’s safety tonight.
From the beginning, those who could walk into the Chao Yin Hotel tonight with an invitation letter were either the high-ranking officials of Feng City or the well-known people of society.
Su Ruyu, who was graceful and noble, listened to the report from her subordinates. The chairman of Fu Manlou and the chairman of Tianqing Jewelry nodded calmly when they arrived. She could not help but heave a sigh of relief after her subordinates left.
“Brother, they’re coming.”
“Yeah. ”
Compared to his younger sister, who could only keep her cool a little, Su
Bancheng, as the older brother, was naturally better. Hearing this, Su
Bancheng did not show much expression and only nodded. “Got it.”
She frowned. “Brother, why do you think Mengmeng’s Master is doing this? It’s not like Mengmeng didn’t invite him over. He’s the one who didn’t come.”
She also knew why so many guests who had already agreed on it would suddenly call to reject tonight’s banquet.
But…
Even when she was young, she had experienced scumbags, her daughter’s premature labor, and the open and secret attacks in the business world. She could not figure out the purpose of this operation no matter how hard she racked her brains.
After all, the only answer she could think of was already rejected by Su Bancheng.
She frowned and said, “Brother, are you sure that he’s not showing off his strength to let us know that although he came from a humble background, he’s a man. Does he really have no other intentions for Mengmeng?” Without a second thought, Su Bancheng looked at Su Ruyu.
“I’m not sure.”
Stunned, she looked at Su Bancheng. “Weren’t you…”
Su Bancheng interrupted her.
“An Ya was there too.”
“This…’
At this point, she paused and her pupils constricted. She looked up at Su
Bancheng. “Are you trying to say…”
Su Bancheng rudely interrupted again. “I didn’t say anything. Moreover, it’s best if you don’t say anything. At my and her Realm, there’s a long distance between us. If someone mutters about it, we might not feel it, but when we’re close, we’ll definitely be able to feel it.” Su Ruyu immediately stopped talking.
The look in her eyes…
He was extremely shocked.
Xu Bai.
My Mengmeng.
Team Leader An.
She shook her head. Although An Ya couldn’t say it, it didn’t mean that she couldn’t say it to others. “Is this Xu Bai… very special?”
“A little.”
Su Bancheng recalled his meeting with Xu Bai in Team Leader Zhou’s office and the information he had checked about Xu Bai. “It’s a little special, but it’s indescribably special.”
The Heavenly Secrets Technique that the Su family cultivated had a high level of cultivation. Not only could it predict heavenly secrets, but it could also sense one’s own fortune and misfortune. It could turn misfortune into fortune and avoid danger. Moreover, it could greatly increase their intuition. When their cultivation reached the highest level, they could even replace the heavens with their own thoughts.
Su Ruyu nodded.
“Then 1—1′
“No, you don’t have to do anything.”
“Yes?”
“Pretend you don’t know anything.”
Su Bancheng looked at Su Ruyu and shook his head. “That’s between Xu Bai and Su Meng. It’s best if we don’t interfere. If you interfere and do something, I won’t be able to stop An Ya from coming to you.”
He was just joking in the tea room at home just now.
And what happened?
The sword light almost hit his throat.
If his sister was more enthusiastic, An Ya would probably stab him while he was sleeping tonight.
Su Bancheng thought to himself.
Su Ruyu listened to him and nodded. She did not have any other thoughts.
Furthermore…
She was not a snobbish woman. She did not have the common opinions of a wealthy family, but she did have a little prejudice against men from humble backgrounds.
This was because Su Ruyu had suffered before.
If Su Meng had told her that she had another birthday party to attend tonight, she would definitely have had some ideas.
But now?
A person from a humble background did not have such strength. Just by relying on his handsome face, he had almost snatched away more than a third of her guests tonight.
Most importantly…
“Happy birthday, Mengmeng. By the way, this is my mother’s birthday present for you.” “President Su, this is my mother-in-law’s birthday present for Mengmeng.”
“And mine.” “My father-in-law’s.”
“My dad’s.”
“My uncle’s.” “Old Huang next door.”
“And Old Bull’s.”
Su Meng, who was chatting with her mother with one high-ranking official and socialite after another, looked at the gifts sent by the guests with a confused expression.
This year was so special.
Why did these people’s fathers, mothers, mothers-in-law, and uncles also give her gifts?
It had never happened before.
Su Meng’s heart was filled with confusion, but she still took the gift with a smile and thanked him sweetly. Then, she took a photo with every guest who wanted to take a photo after giving the gift.
“Mom, I’ve sent you the photos.”
“Granny, I’ve sent you tne pnoto.”
“Yes, the one next to me.”
“Uncle, take a look at the mail…”
Su Meng turned her head to look at the guests who had walked to their seats not far away after taking the photo with her. Finally, she could not help but raise her head and look at her mother, Su Ruyu, who was beside her. “Mom, don’t you think it’s strange?”
Su Ruyu looked at Su Meng curiously.
“Weird?”
“That’s right. Why did the elders of these guests send me gifts?”
“That’s not good.”
It was naturally good to have a gift.
But…
Looking at the expression on her daughter’s face, her heart remained calm. “Did your Master tell you when to go over to his side?”
Su Meng came back to her senses. When she heard this, she looked at her mother with a vigilant expression. “Mom, what do you want to do? Uncle has already promised me that I can go.”
Mother and uncle.
His uncle was like a father.
Although Su Meng’s nickname for her uncle, Su Bancheng, was an ordinary and confident man, Su Meng still respected her uncle, who had loved and doted on her since she was young.
Su Ruyu led Su Meng to the back and shook her head. “I didn’t ask you not to go. I’m saying that if you’re in a hurry, you can go on stage and say something when the banquet starts. You can leave after half an hour.” Su Meng was stunned for a moment before her eyes lit up.
“Really?”
“Of course it’s true.’
“But wasn’t it all before…
“It’s different this time.’
