Chapter 627: Chapter 172: The Ding Family’s Third Young Master? Still Too Young_3
,,,
"You’re in the late-stage Innate, right?"
After sitting down, Tian Zheng suddenly whispered a question to his attendant, not knowing what had crossed his mind.
"???"
Taken by surprise, the attendant was momentarily unable to react.
But he still nodded.
"What would the young master like done?"
Even if he didn’t always agree with Tian Zheng’s foolish behavior, he had to be obedient as Tian Zheng was the master’s offspring.
"Hmm! Not bad!"
Upon hearing the attendant admit to having late-stage Innate strength,
Tian Zheng nodded in satisfaction. Instead of directly stating his purpose, he disdainfully muttered for a while.
"I’ve heard that although Ding Feichen has some talent, he is currently only at the early-stage Innate. A lowly brat is still a lowly brat. Even this counts as talent? These rumors must have been spread by himself!"
Clearly, Tian Zheng harbors significant malice towards Ding Feichen.
However, Tian Zheng did manage to guess some truths.
These rumors were indeed spread by Ding Feichen himself in secret.
The purpose was straightforward—naturally to expand his prestige.
"..."
However, looking at Tian Zheng’s disdainful appearance,
The attendant felt a bit aghast. Ding Feichen entering the Innate at this age is nothing special. Young master, have you perhaps forgotten that you haven’t even reached Postnatal yet?
Of course.
These thoughts remained internal, far from being foolishly uttered in Tian Zheng’s presence.
After a brief silence,
The attendant adjusted his breath and cautiously asked the question on his mind.
"So, what does the young master intend to do?"
"That’s right!"
Tian Zheng first nodded in agreement, then gestured for the attendant to lean closer.
"After the auction ends, we’ll tail Ding Feichen. Once he leaves the Xie family’s territory, we’ll take him out!"
Though arrogant, Tian Zheng wasn’t completely brainless. At the very least, he knew better than to stir trouble directly within the Xie family’s territory.
Upon hearing this,
The attendant found it unsurprising, given the young master’s vengeful nature. After losing face to such a degree, wanting to retaliate against Ding Feichen seemed quite natural.
"But he’s still the third young master of the Ding family. Wouldn’t it be improper to act directly?"
The Ding family does have a Grandmaster, though reportedly only at the early-stage Grandmaster level. But an early-stage Grandmaster is also a Grandmaster, not someone they could easily handle.
"What are you afraid of!"
Tian Zheng seemed utterly dismissive.
"Ding Feichen is just a lowly brat, born of a maid. What status could he possibly hold in the Ding family? Moreover, while the Ding family Patriarch is a Grandmaster, isn’t my father also a Grandmaster? Can Ding Feichen’s position in Ding’s Escort Agency possibly match my standing with my father?"
At this point,
Tian Zheng appeared quite proud. At least, his bloodline was pure, unlike Ding Feichen.
"..."
You truly have no idea that the master is about to give up on you already?
Seeing Tian Zheng’s smug expression, the attendant sighed inwardly. It’s because Tian Zheng lacked any Swordsmanship Talent.
Anyway.
Having reached this point, the attendant didn’t say much else.
He merely nodded slightly.
"Understood, rest assured, young master!"
After all, he’s merely an attendant. If trouble arises, Tian Zheng will bear the brunt, and it won’t affect him much.
"Good!"
However,
This response made Tian Zheng look at the attendant with even greater satisfaction, treating him more like one of his own.
"Don’t worry, if you follow me, you’ll definitely enjoy the good life!"
"..."
Can I say that I’ve already decided to steer clear of you once we return?
In a few years, the young masters can start training too. Their talents may be uncertain, but staying close to them seems more promising than serving Tian Zheng!
Of course.
The attendant didn’t express these thoughts out loud.
He maintained a serious demeanor and nodded.
"Thank you, young master!"
Tian Zheng lacked any Mind Reading Magic, leaving him unaware of the attendant’s inner thoughts.
He appeared exceedingly satisfied.
Feeling like everything was under his control.
,,,
With Tian Zheng and Ding Feichen quieted down,
The auction, which had been lively moments ago, suddenly plunged into silence.
Some hidden conversations ensued among attendees.
But regarding the auction item on stage, interest seemed to have vanished, with no one paying attention.
"This..."
Faced with this situation,
The Xie family members hosting the auction were witnessing such a scene for the first time.
Despite presiding over numerous auctions before, experiencing such circumstances was indeed baffling.
No other choice.
The host turned and looked towards Xie Fenghao offstage for guidance.
To this, Xie Fenghao decisively waved his hand.
He indicated that the item should be removed and replaced with another. The Xie family wasn’t short on auction items, so if it didn’t sell now, it would simply go back to the treasury for next time.
To calm the current situation down first.
Just moments ago, Tian Zheng’s behavior had prompted Xie Fenghao to consider stepping in himself.
A mere Saber Skill user posed no real threat to Xie Fenghao.
But unexpectedly, Ding Feichen emerged.
With Xie Fenghao’s discerning eyes, he quickly perceived Ding Feichen’s intentions.
Admittedly, it showed some cunning.
But!
As Xie Fenghao’s gaze shifted, he saw Tian Zheng’s mouth adorned with a cruel smile.
Clearly.
Ding Feichen remained inexperienced at understanding the complexities and dangers of human nature!
