Chapter 631 - 174: Fragile Pride, the Xie Family Treasury
"You!"
Tian Zheng never imagined that his father, the Sword Demon Celestial Frenzy, is a Grandmaster.
Yet Xie Fenghao would truly show no respect and even publicly tell him to leave.
The gazes from all around, even though no one said anything, made Tian Zheng feel as if those eyes were needles in his back, mocking him in their hearts!
Damn it!
Underneath his sleeve, Tian Zheng’s fist was clenched tightly, his fingertips digging into his palm.
But facing this Tian Zheng, Xie Fenghao simply looked on calmly, with no intention of saying more.
If he stays any longer, he’ll lose the last shred of dignity he has left.
Arrogant as he is, Tian Zheng clearly doesn’t understand what it means to feign cordiality or hidden endurance, only casting a hateful glance at Xie Fenghao and the grinning yet silent Ye Liuyun beside him.
In Tian Zheng’s view.
Ye Liuyun was also a cause of his humiliation.
These people will definitely feel his wrath.
"You just wait!"
After glaring at Ye Liuyun one last time, Tian Zheng turned and stormed off.
Witnessing this scene, the attendant beside breathed a sigh of relief instead.
Humiliated?
What a joke, it’s the young master who’s humiliated. How does that concern a mere attendant?
I was worried that this foolish young master might actually lose his cool and start a brawl right here on Xie family’s grounds.
Thank goodness he didn’t.
Right now, leaving is the most important thing, so the attendant didn’t hesitate and promptly got up to follow their young master.
When Tian Zheng left.
He happened to pass by Ding Feichen.
"?"
Noticing Tian Zheng’s gaze, Ding Feichen was momentarily stunned, then reflexively flashed a fake smile, a habit he’s cultivated from childhood.
Whenever he sees someone, he greets them with a ’friendly’ smile, regardless of its usefulness, to forge connections.
Who knows, it might develop into a network later.
This smile, which Ding Feichen practiced innumerable times privately, he considers the most perfect and flawless fake smile.
However.
Tian Zheng’s mind clearly works differently than most.
"..."
Already feeling extremely humiliated, this smile intensified the murderous intent in Tian Zheng’s eyes.
This guy!
He’s mocking, definitely mocking.
Not long ago, Ding Feichen publicly confronted me, and seeing me leave in disgrace now, he must be reveling inside!
Thinking about this.
Tian Zheng cast one final murderous glance at Ding Feichen before storming off!
"???"
However.
Ding Feichen, the person involved, was somewhat confused, evidently not understanding why.
The confrontation with Tian Zheng earlier was merely to make an impression and see if he could make connections with those present; Ding Feichen had no intention of truly offending Tian Zheng.
Yet to be looked at so fiercely, as if wishing to kill him.
’Forget it!’
I had heard Tian Zheng’s mind isn’t quite right early on, so this isn’t exactly surprising now.
Ding Feichen wasn’t particularly frightened.
After all, he is already an early-stage Innate Martial Artist, and Tian Zheng isn’t even a Postnatal Martial Artist; even with an attendant, if Ding Feichen wants to leave.
It should still be easy!
With this thought, Ding Feichen quickly adjusted his mindset.
"Young master!"
On Tian Zheng’s side, seeing their young master not utter a word, head lowered, face somber as he walked.
Only after completely leaving Xie family’s mansion.
Did the attendant finally hold back no more and speak.
"Do we head straight back to the master now?"
What the attendant wishes most now is to return to the mansion, fearing this foolish young master might cause trouble again.
"Return?"
Upon hearing this, Tian Zheng suddenly halted.
"How can we return? After losing face like this, we can’t just head back like that!"
"..."
We? Humiliation? It seems you were the only one embarrassed, the attendant didn’t feel humiliated.
Seeing Tian Zheng’s state, they worried—should they speak further, the foolish young master might actually anger himself to death.
"Hmph!"
Tian Zheng is oblivious to the attendant’s thoughts.
Seeing they’ve left Xie family’s mansion, he showed no restraint, snorted coldly, then spoke.
"Merely the Xie family; my presence is in itself a favor to them, and they dare humiliate me like this. If my father knows, he’ll definitely make them pay!"
"..."
No, I believe master would beat you first, and then take you to apologize to the Xie family!
Though the attendant didn’t speak openly, inwardly they couldn’t help but grumble.
No one’s a greenhorn just entering the martial world; everyone knows how to weigh the pros and cons.
Sword Demon Celestial Frenzy may be a Grandmaster, but the Patriarch of the Xie family is also a Grandmaster, and the Xie family has two Grandmaster Realm elders.
A total of three Grandmasters, how can you fight?
Moreover, the Xie family has extensive connections, counting several Grandmasters as allies; even though the ties may be ordinary, they could still act as mediators if needed.
