Chapter 34: Crane Body
"Uncle, aren’t you my father’s only younger brother?"
Hearing his nephew’s question, Xu Jiaotou’s old face, which was as dark as lacquer, couldn’t help but flush with shame. Then, he grew angry and pointed at the incense burner in front of him, saying, “You little troublemaker, making friends so easily, sitting at the door and dragging people into an oath of brotherhood! You’ve ruined the reputation of the Xu family!”
His nephew looked at the incense table behind him, his tone clearly filled with confusion. “Xu family’s… reputation?”
“You—!”
“Exactly, don’t you see who my uncle is and whose disciple I am?” His nephew spoke again, sounding a bit exasperated.
“Alright, alright, he’s just a kid, doesn’t understand these things,” Zheng Fa quickly intervened, standing in front of Xu Jiaotou’s nephew, and gently advised, “Let’s talk things through, no need for violence!”
Xu Jiaotou looked at Zheng Fa, his face growing more awkward. His raised hand slowly lowered, and he muttered in a quieter voice, “Sorry for the embarrassment…”
Zheng Fa knew that if he didn’t offer some comfort now, Xu Jiaotou might never want to see him again in his life.
