Chapter 861: Opportune Nephew

Proofreader

: Papatonks

Everyone looked dumbstruck at the cra.s.s father-son pair.

[Whats wrong with these two? They have yet to come from old money and power, yet theyre acting more obnoxiously than a clan with a deep heritage. What, drop the Shangguan clans name around so no one will pick on you? I bet youre planning the opposite, to use the name to pick on people.]

[We came from the renowned Shangguan clan in the eastern lands, but were educated and know honor. We definitely wont let some disrespectful guys like you ruin our good name.]

Everyone turned to Shangguan Feixiong.

[Clan Head, you started it, now finish it!]

Shangguan Feixiong shook his head, his face twitching. There was no way he would just accept someone as his nephew.

He only used it as a leverage to become friends, but how was he to know there was such a brazen guy in the world, trying to leverage him instead.

[Hes just a punk!]

[I didnt think the owner of the house would be a b.a.s.t.a.r.d!]

As everyone had nothing but contempt for the two, Shangguan Qingyan laughed. Having been around them the past few days, this missie had gotten quite friendly, or maybe she understood them the best.

Seeing them declare this with a straight face, she liked it, Hey, how about you become my real cousin.

Zhuo Fan turned to her and shook his head.

[Who the h.e.l.l would? Its that I dont have a choice.]

Shangguan Feixiong would be p.i.s.sed if she could hear him.

[Oh please, for me to accept you as one is the greatest fortune of your lifetime. Its leapfrogging into power, yet you freakin shun it?]

[Youre nothing but a moron!]

Which was a moot point since he didnt know where to begin. He only felt that taking this pair into his fold would be the greatest mistake of his life.

But as the leader, his word was gold. Once spoken, he couldnt just take it back. He sighed, Then you will become Shangguan clans front, blocking the Flying CLoud manors investigation. When we all go to eastern lands, youll be rewarded for your efforts!

Yes, uncle!

With a genial smile, Zhuo Fan was open in his attempts. Shangguan Feixiong only felt pain instead. He looked from his real nephew, showing valor and att.i.tude, then at the new one, with a shrewd gaze and wretched-looking.

Hed better brace himself for when he returned home for a world of humiliation.

Sighing, Shangguan Feixiong waved his hand, tired like never before, Since were now in understanding, you are dismissed.

Shangguan Feixiong stood and walked towards the backyard.

Uncle, let me get you a nice room.

Zhuo Fan skipped next to him, like the most obvious toad there was, beaming, Ha-ha-ha, allow your nephew to lead you.

No, we already got our rooms. You just have to play your part. Shangguan Feixiong shunned him.

Zhuo Fan just didnt know when to quit, How can I? I have to do my duty for the family!

[Screw your duty! That was just a blunder of mine!]

Rolling his eyes, Shangguan Feixiong wanted to push Zhuo Fan away, but Zhuo Fan stuck with him with his nauseatingly sweat flatteries. It only vexed the Clan Head more.

Bam!

With a sudden sound, Zhuo Fan was suddenly pushed back hard. Looking up he found the genuine cousin there.

Shangguan Yulin gave him a cold gaze, then took Shangguan Feixiongs arm and left. This time he didnt refuse.

The rest shrugged at the event, mocking Zhuo Fan as they left.

It just so happened that some of the mockery reached the duos ears.

Humph, a social climber who doesnt know when to quit.

Shangguan clan will be shamed now, having these thugs.

Exactly, but what can you do? They just got lucky to meet us when we need them, ha-ha-ha. The name of Shangguan clan is enough for these fools for several lifetimes

Gu Santong clenched his fists, but Zhuo Fan pulled him back.

Young Sanzi, now Im your real aunt, hi-hi-hi

Shangguan Qingyan skipped over with glee, holding young Sanzis face with a smile.

Young Sanzi looked at her with a cold gaze and slapped her hands away, Youre no aunt of mine!

Gu Santong gave her the cold shoulder as he left.

Zhuo Fan sighed inside. Invincible Scamp had never been so humiliated in his life.

[Its all for the sake of the mission]

[Maybe I shouldve just left him with Kunpeng. Hes too young and Kunpeng wont touch him yet. There at least hes king]

[I shouldnt make choices for young Sanzi, whether good or wrong]

Shangguan Qingyan looked stunned, Whats with young Sanzi? Did I say something?

Its not you. You know kids, so volatile. Dont mind it. Zhuo Fan went after Gu Santong, Ill look after him. See you.

Seeing them go, Shangguan Qingyan looked concerned.

A tall man loomed from behind, Shangguan Yulin, smiling at her lost look, Cousin, what are you looking at?

I was just wondering why young Sanzi looked so annoyed.

Annoyed? Ha-ha-ha, for a pair of greedy people, getting into Shangguan clan should be a moment of celebration. Whats there to be annoyed about? Shangguan Yulin sneered.

Shangguan Qingyan glared at him, What do you know? They arent like that.

No? They just acted like brazen and obnoxious people. Anyone could see it. Why is it only you taking their side?

You dont know anything.

Shangguan Qingyan flicked her head away in annoyance, Ive been around them for the past days and theyre kind and cherish one another, and not power hungry people. If they were, theyd long since reported me to Flying Cloud manor

Thats because they were weak, afraid youd kill them

No, they were never afraid or tense around me. In fact, they always had biting remarks, p.i.s.sing me off! Shangguan Qingyan was firm, They have their own problems. The jeers and harsh tones are only a front. Dont misunderstand them.

Cousin, why do you always side with others?

Theyre no others, havent you heard dad calling sir Gu nephew?

Thats just the shameless punk trying to squeeze his way into the clan. Uncle is a man of virtue, not for someone like that thug to get close to.

I told you, dont judge a book by its cover! Shangguan Qingyan glared and left.

Shangguan Yulins eyes flashed with anger, his fists clenched.

[Ill deal with you soon, you d.a.m.n b.a.s.t.a.r.ds. Just you wait]

Zhuo Fan was back in his room and saw Gu Santong on the bed with sad look as he lay on the pillow.

Zhuo Fan patted his back and chuckled, Whats wrong, brat, angry? Ha-ha-ha, think about it. They mock us for our weakness. Its this weakness that will drop their guard and earn their trust. That when we use them to punch through. Were deceiving them, we should be the one laughing at them. Those morons, ha-ha-ha

Gu Santong began after a long pause, Were being watched by five Soul Harmony experts not a hundred meters away.

I know. Were outsiders so of course they wont believe us. They fear well snitch. But theyre wrong. Dont you think having five of them watching us is kind of small?

Zhuo Fan showed a devious grin, winking at Gu Santong.

Gu Santong smiled at last, Yeah, I can deal with five in one punch

Meanwhile, Shangguan Feixiong entered into a dark room.

Three elders were already here, sitting on the bed with eyes closed.

Feixiong, what is it? One spoke.

Bowing, Shangguan Feixiongs tone was respectful, Venerables, the owner of the house is a n.o.body. He even has an eight-year-old son. We can relax for now and deal with Feiyun!

Good, well use this foothold to make a second ambus.h.!.+

One elder shouted, This time, we will take the divine weapon back to eastern lands!
