Chapter 1609: Grandchild Of Destiny (1)
"Father!"
Su Yu rolled his eyes. He had just returned, full of expectations of an emotional reunion. What was this? Why was his old man telling him to return again?
Su Long had a look of grief.
"Damn you! You! You are going to embarrass me thoroughly!"
He sighed and said, "Last night, I bragged to your Uncle Chen that with my son coming back, things were so busy here that it felt like a festival. But you! You returned so silently! With no fanfare!"
In short, he had bragged in front of his old friends. He had claimed that his son would return gloriously. But his son had returned without so much as a foot soldier as an escort.
When one left home to work elsewhere, it didn't matter how well one did unless one returned with glory. Yes, yes, Su Yu could claim to be very strong and all. But what was the point? Su Long wasn't even strong enough to sense Su Yu's strength. He could only judge Su Yu's accomplishment by what he could see with his own eyes.
Su Yu rolled his eyes and said, "You want more people? Sure. I'll get like a few hundred thousand people here later."
"A few hundred thousand?" Su Long gasped and said, "That's a bit too much, right?"
Su Yu rolled his eyes again and said, "Tens of thousands of people?"
"It's fine...cough, cough. Uhm...are you close with the prefect? Just...get the prefect to have one meal at our place?"
He was naturally referring to Xia Longwu here, not Xia Huyou or Marquis Xia. Xia Longwu was the previous leader of the Devil Subduing Army. He used to be a superior of Su Long. And he was someone Su Long admired most. In fact, Su Yu had grown up listening to stories about Xia Longwu from Su Long. It had been Su Long's dream to join the Martial Dragon Guard. Alas, he wasn't strong enough.
