Chapter 2023: [Chapter 2023] Of course not
"Heh, my ass, Yang Xiong isn’t that stupid. Let’s drop it and focus on other matters," said Yang Hui, glancing sidelong at Wei Dong with a knowing look.
Their faces all broke into a smile of understanding, knowing that if Wei Dong intended to vie with Yang Hui for the future Sect Leader position, they had to suppress him.
Even if it meant sacrificing Wei Dong to an unexpected accident, it wasn’t out of the question.
"Third Elder."
"Greetings to the Third Elder!"
"Has the Third Elder arrived?"
...
The disciples around greeted and bowed, after all, Zhou Tong was a late-stage Quasi-Divine Realm expert! He was the fifth-ranked master in the Heavenly Secret Sect!
Zhou Tong nodded slightly, deliberately walking towards Yang Hui. Yang Hui couldn’t pretend not to see and had no choice but to salute with his hands clasped.
"Greetings, Third Uncle."
Zhou Tong had followed Yang Feiyu for several decades, and they had sworn a brotherly oath long ago. Yang Hui had a lot of respect for Zhou Tong.
Zhou Tong just gave Yang Hui a faint glance and commanded with an emotionless face, "Xiao Hui, go call Seventh Elder here."
The corners of Yang Hui’s mouth twitched uncontrollably, damn it! Zhou Tong was treating him like a lackey! He was the Young Master, after all; being ordered about in front of so many people was utterly embarrassing, right?
But Yang Hui dare not disobey, because if he caused a scene that reached his old man, his father would definitely side with Zhou Tong without a second thought!
After all, Zhou Tong had twice carried Yang Feiyu on his back out of piles of corpses! A life-saving grace was greater than heaven!
"Yes, Third Uncle," Yang Hui could only pinch his nose and head towards the resting room.
Qin Yu felt a headache coming on. He knew this was his cheap father-in-law creating recognition for him! But for Qin Yu, this was utterly unhelpful!
Originally, Yang Hui was already furious with Yang Xiong, and Zhou Tong’s actions only made Yang Hui hate Yang Xiong more!
It seemed he would need to be extra careful in the coming days!
While Qin Yu’s mind was racing, Yang Hui had brought Seventh Elder Wu Kun out.
Wu Kun approached with a big, warm smile on his face.
"Third brother, what brings you here? Has the Sect Leader given you a new task? Is it your turn to lead the team?"
"Lead your face, I’ve brought you two newbies," Zhou Tong glared at Wu Kun without any good humor.
Wu Kun laughed and said, "Third brother, this is what I admire about you, always so concerned about the kids! Rest assured, once at the Prisoner’s Graveyard, I’ll take good care of Zhou Cong."
Zhou Tong’s expression grew odd. Goddamn, how should he respond to that?
"Cough cough... that thing."
Seeing Zhou Tong’s difficulty, Wu Kun laughed and said, "Third brother, what’s there to hesitate about? This must be your son-in-law, Yang Xiong, right? Does he want to take a look around?
He’s welcome to look around as much as he likes!
Whenever he breaks through to the Heavenly Human Realm, he can come and sign up with me anytime."
"Cough cough... that thing is, actually, I’ve brought you two newbies," Zhou Tong emphasized the word ’two.’
Two? Damn it! Wu Kun’s expression became incredibly animated, looking at Qin Yu with disbelief.
"Third brother, you’re not joking, are you?"
"Of course not."
Zhou Tong glared fiercely at Qin Yu, his expression almost saying, you little rascal, I’ve lost all face for you! You better not make me lose any more face!
Qin Yu scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.
Wu Kun was on the verge of depression, goddamn, what kind of things was he running into! Wu Kun carefully chose his words, and said somewhat awkwardly, "Third brother, the Sect Leader has rules..."
"Of course, I know the Sect Leader has rules. He and I are as close as brothers; he will surely give me this much face," Zhou Tong said, though he glanced at Yang Hui nearby somewhat guiltily, afraid that Yang Hui would reveal his bluff.
