Boss Chu?
Where? Where was he?
Nianzu's eyes immediately fell on the figure many gestured towards and suddenly... Well, he was turned into stone.
"Junior... That can't be, right?"
Leisho almost rubbed his back pitifully, somewhat happy that someone else would also feel his pain. "If it makes you feel any better, even I doubted his existence the first time I saw him. But his bones aren't lying. He is indeed 16."
Dizzy... Myu felt his life was a joke!
He was tempted to fall on his knees, stamp the ground with his fists and ask the heavens: WHY!
"Boss Chu! You're here! This... This is our ancestor, the great Elder Myu."
Ancestor? Yes! Leisho had informed him of this guy's coming.
Tsk.
As expected, he looked just as menacing and intimidating as the xianxia novels said.
He was scared but happy his expectations were met.
Myu, on the other hand, cupped his fists, giving only a slight bow. His ancestor-title didn't permit him to bow so low. It was seen as a sign of weakness. Only when forced with no way out, would he do so.
Chu Che also saluted him the same way, shocking everyone else.
What? If they were not mistaken, this was the first person Chu Che was graciously saluting.
The way they looked at Myu changed.
(+?+)
As expected of their ancestor!
'_' [Myu]
"Ancestor Myu, I'm a very easy going person. So we can skip the formalities. For now, we have to leave in time."
Yes!
Everyone's eyes lit up, starting at the seconds count down on their cards.
5... 4... 3... 2... 1...
Nothing.
Eh? Where was it?
"Ah!- Look over there! Is it a bird? Is it a star?"
"No. It's---"
~Vmmmm!
A giant ship suddenly sealed down from the clouds above. Its golden-brown wooden body glistened in the sky, and its entire silhouette made many worldly designers want to kneel in hardship.
Godly!... Godly!... How can one make a ship fly?
Enchanted weapons and structures as huge as these were improbable to find in their little Lower realm.
Everyone, including the elders and the ancestor, all felt their legs turn to noodles.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I?... A fish?
(?0?)
-------------------------------------
~Swish!!!
The ship swished several times, displaying its magnificent body for all to see.
It was only now that many realized the ship looked precisely like the Going Merry in the realm of One Piece, only it was a whole lot bigger. And it didn't have any sails at all. Though at the ship's sides, the bold name: ‘Wenji Park’ was printed on it.
"Going Merry! Going Merry!"
"I didn't think I would see it in the flesh!"
The little princess, Lulu, had begged him to let her little disciple Mimo come along.
Mimo's parents had no qualms with this.
They knew Mimo was someone who had his own destined path to follow.
From birth, he was nothing like his playful disobedient elder brother, Moyen.
Mimo was smart and diligent, though hardly speaking.
Chu Che has said it severally.
This guy had the potential to be a domineering president. And of course, he was his parents' padded jacket compared to Moyen, that dishonest guy.
At this point, Moyen had long given up on how his parents saw him. He wasn't offended, only helpless.
That is... Was it his fault that before Boss Chu came into the picture, he always liked to look for different fun-filled activities to do?
Sure. He sometimes left his house duties to run off and play, but was he really that bad?
As Mimo's brother, he shamelessly begged to go in the name of watching over his little brother. And that was how it was settled.
He didn't feel as bad as his buddy Bho Jin because at the end of the day, he wasn't participating in the competition.
He will return to Wenji town! So he wanted to come along to see off Bho Jin and the others in case this was the last time they saw each other.
------------------------
"Young master...." Old Fru softly called out, standing next to a few Hyu villages, as well as village chief Yangku.
Old Fru feared this day would come. Chu Che had already told him about the possibility of him not coming back.
"Young master--"
"Let's leave things like that for now.” He wasn’t good at saying goodbyes.
Sigh~...
Chu Che felt a wave of emotions swell in his heart.
“Uncle Fru…”
Old Fru’s eyes moistened. It was rare of his young master to refer to him as such.
“Uncle… I promise to find Aunt Sayo when I get to Yanging's capital. We'll keep in touch through our cards... Keep the park safe, and take care of yourself."
Old Fru's lips quivered. "I will."
"Then it's time I leave."
Goodbye, Uncle Fru.
