Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Look at that!

"Miss Mei-Lu has come this way!"

Where is she?!

"Why has she come this way? Or did she come to me?!"

"Are you dreaming!? How could you think she would come to meet someone with a face like yours? Look! She's walking towards the table of the young man who just played the flute."

Umm!

While Zheng-Fu and the two Young Masters from the two major clans, Sang-Long and Guan-Yong, were chatting happily, Mei-Lu walked up to them with several young women and three or four guards who were at the initial Great Deity Stage.

"Respect, Young Master Sang-Long, Young Master Guan-Yong, and… err... Excuse me, sir, what's Young Master's name? I have never seen you before." As soon as Mei-Lu arrived, she immediately greeted Sang-Long and Guan-Yong before turning to greet Zheng-Fu. However, she did not know his name, so she asked him in an extremely polite and gentle tone.

"I'm just a lowly person, not worthy of Miss Mei-Lu knowing my name. Please forgive me," Zheng-Fu replied in a plain tone. He did not expect that young woman to come to them, but he could tell that she came to their table because of him.

Vulgar!

"Lady asked your name, why didn't you answer, lowly guy? Or do you want to get hurt before you speak?!" Suddenly, a guard shouted at Zheng-Fu with disdain, seeing that Zheng-Fu was just an ordinary person.

That guard's actions immediately made Sang-Long and Guan-Yong's faces turn displeased. If they did not think that those guards were stronger than they, they would have taught them a lesson.

You guys!

"Stop right now! Why are you guys being so rude? Don't you see that Young Master came with Young Master Sang and Young Master Guan? Why don't you guys hurriedly apologize to him!?"

But before the two young men could say anything, Mei-Lu interrupted with an unhappy look and scolded the guard who had spoken rudely to Zheng-Fu.

"Sor... sorry, Lady. I was wrong."

"Don't apologize to me. You must apologize to him!"

Ah!

"Miss Mei-Lu, there's no need to apologize to me. I don't hold any grudge against him anyway. I'm just a lowly country bumpkin. Don't mind me!"

Others might not know, but Zheng-Fu knew that this guard did not do it himself. He was ordered to speak to him like that. He guessed that it was Mei-Lu who had ordered the guard to test him and see what kind of relationship he had with Sang-Long and Guan-Yong.

"Young Master, my guard is at fault, so he should apologize to you. Otherwise, people will think I didn't train my subordinates well. I hope you'll accept his apology." Mei-Lu was still trying to get her guard to apologize to Zheng-Fu as if she had some plan.

Umm!

"Then, let that brother drink this tumbler of liquor as an apology. How about that?" Zheng-Fu did not expect the young woman to be so stubborn, but he was not afraid at all because he had quite a bit of experience in dealing with such situations.

Erm…

"Just do as Young Master says."

Yes, sir, Lady!

The guard turned to Mei-Lu for an answer. Since the orders he had received were not like that, he did not dare to do anything without permission first. Mei-Lu saw that her plan was not going as she wanted, so she had to let it go.

'I did not expect him to handle the situation so well. There's no way he's just a forest dweller. He's also not an ordinary martial master. He did not seem afraid at all, even in front of the Great Deity Stage masters. Who exactly is he?!' The more Mei-Lu thought about Zheng-Fu, the more doubtful and curious she was. She believed that Zheng-Fu was definitely not an ordinary person.

Gulp!

Umm!

Huh!

"You guys are lucky that Younger Brother Zheng-Fu only wanted that. If he wanted your lives as compensation, I'd be willing to help him with all my might!" However, Sang-Long was still in a bad mood. He was very dissatisfied with the actions of the guard, who spoke poorly to Zheng-Fu. He thought that if Zheng-Fu did not forgive that man easily, he would help to handle this matter to the fullest.

"Me too. Although I don't have much power in Guan Clan, but just killing you guys, I think I can do it!" Guan-Yong also spoke in favor of Zheng-Fu. At that time, Zheng-Fu was like his comrade, and he would not let people look down on his comrade.

"I… I apologize to Young Masters. I won't do it again, sir!"

The guard trembled all over when he heard that. Even though he was the first level of the Great Deity Stage master, he was not the strongest. Especially in front of the young masters from the major clans, people of his level were no different from an ant. So, he hurriedly apologized to Sang-Long and Guan-Yong.

"Brothers, you don't have to be so angry. Since it passed, let it go. I don't want to make a big fuss. Let's continue our eating and drinking!" Zheng-Fu tried to calm the situation down because he felt that his group was now the focus of everyone in the Cloud Gazing Hall, including the person who was hiding there.

"All right! Since Younger Brother said that, I'll just let it go." Sang-Long indulged Zheng Fu.

"If Younger Brother Zheng-Fu doesn't hold any grudges, then let's continue drinking!" Guan-Yong agreed, then suddenly remembered the young lady who had come to their table, "By the way, what business brought Miss Mei-Lu to us? Or do you just want to drink with us?!"

Umm!

Ah!

Both Mei-Lu and Sang-Long exclaimed at the same time, but with different feelings. Sang-Long just realized that the young woman he loved and admired, Mei-Lu, was right in front of him, and it seemed like she was going to join them for a drink. As for Mei-Lu, she did not intend to drink with those young men. She just wanted to ask about the song that Zheng-Fu played earlier.

"Mi... Miss... Miss Mei-Lu, please take a seat. If... if Miss Mei-..."

"Young Master Sang-Long is being too polite to me. I came only to ask about the song that Young Master Zheng-Fu played just now. I didn't mean to disturb your drinking time!"

Sang-Long wanted to say something, but he stammered, and Mei-Lu interrupted him first. Her words were clear and without any nervousness. It was obvious that she was not someone who was easily affected by anything.

Err!

When Sang-Long heard that, his face immediately changed. He was secretly happy that he would be able to drink with the young woman he admired, but it turned out that she had come to Zheng-Fu to ask about the song.

"Miss Mei-Lu, do you just want to know about my song or do you want to learn it?" Zheng-Fu saw that Sang-Long's face was sad after receiving Mei-Lu's answer. So, he thought of helping Sang-Long achieve his wish for once, and he tried to use that song to make the young woman stay with them.

Ah!

"Young Master Zheng-Fu, I actually just wanted to talk about your song. But if Young Master would kindly teach me, it would be a great favor!" Mei-Lu did not expect Zheng-Fu to ask so directly. In fact, she also wanted to learn how to play that song.

"If Miss Mei-Lu wants to learn, I'm willing to teach you. But... would Miss Mei-Lu please sit and drink with us while learning how to play my song?"

Daring!

"Do you know that Lady…"

Shut up!

When the guard heard Zheng-Fu's words, he immediately turned displeased and bawled. He was so angry that he was about to accidentally mention Mei-Lu's true identity, but the young woman quickly interrupted him with a fierce tone, ordering her people to stop talking and threatening to punish him and the others.

"How many times have I told you not to be so rude? If you still don't listen, I'll punish you all!"

"I was wrong, My Lady! Please forgive me!" That guard's face turned gloomy when he saw Mei-Lu's dissatisfied expression and warning, and he quickly apologized.

'It seems that this young woman has an extraordinary background. Even the guards at the initial Great Deity Stage have surrendered. She must be from the major clan.'

Observing the interactions between Mei-Lu and her guard, Zheng-Fu immediately knew that the young woman was definitely not an ordinary attendant of the Cloud Gazing Hall. Because if she were just that, no amount of beauty or fame would grant her this level of authority.

"Miss Mei-Lu, don't blame him. It was my fault for inviting you to have a drink with us when we had just met each other." Zheng-Fu wanted to know what Mei-Lu would say next if he pretended not to care and let it go.

"Young Master Zheng-Fu is being too polite. Since my people were at fault, they should be reprimanded. As for the invitation to have a drink with you, I'm very glad and honored, sir!"

Excellent!

Ah!

Sang-Long unconsciously exclaimed loudly when he saw Mei-Lu agreeing. But when he realized his mistake, he quickly raised one hand to cover his mouth and scratched his head with the other to relieve his embarrassment.

Hehe!

Ha ha ha!!!

When everyone in his group saw this, they burst into joyful laughter. Even Mei-Lu laughed softly, making her look very cute.

After that, Mei-Lu sat on the chair next to Zheng-Fu, replacing Sang-Long, who had been sitting before. He stood up to let her sit so that she would be able to learn the song from Zheng-Fu conveniently. However, he only moved to the next seat so that he could sit closer to her.

"Miss Mei-Lu, my song is not difficult. But to play it well depends on the mind and feeling you put into the song. I can't teach you that. So, whether you can play well depends on yourself!"

Umm!

"I understand. Young Master, please guide me!"

All right…
