Chapter 1107: Returning the Words
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
âItâs fine, thereâs no need for luxuries!â The older Pi practitioner said, the one they were calling Master Pi, âJust make the training room downstairs better!â
âDonât worry, Master Pi- Iâve already made the preparations. Anything you need, just tell us- weâll be able to provide for you!â Xiao Ji said.
It was then that the villaâs doorbell rang.
âBrother, can you get the door? Iâll accompany the two masters,â Xiao Ben said to Xiao Ji.
Xiao Ji knew what type of person he was, and was worried that he might mess something up with his rough personality. Naturally, heâd prefer letting his brother deal with this!
There had been a lot of noble houses calling them to ask for a business partnership already, so it wasnât weird to have a visitor.
Xiao Ji walked down the stairs and looked out- pausing. He wasnât expecting Zhaolong and Guifeng to be outside their iron door!
He was a rough and brash man, but even he knew what the Kangs were thinking, to be visiting now! His rage from the time they humiliated him rose up instantly!
Great- these guys came on their own to get messed up! He really needed to return the favor they paid to him last time, otherwise it wouldnât be right!
âOh? Isnât this the son and father of House Kang? Did you need something?â Xiao Ji used the same style of talking as what the Kangs used last time.
Guifeng and Zhaolong felt a chill- it seemed that this wouldnât be easy at all, as expected!
âXiao Bro, what are you saying? Arenât our families engaged in a marriage alliance? Visiting is simply normal, wouldnât you say?â Guifeng smiled.
âEngaged? Who are you talking about, when did our houses become engaged? Kang Guifeng, is there something wrong with your memory? You remembered wrong, right?â Xiao Ji said, smiling coldly in his heart. So now they were in a marriage alliance again? Didnât this guy say he had a bad memory? Well that was just fine!
âBig Bro Xiao, donât be mad⊠Yes, my memory is a little flaky, that time you came to my house, I couldnât remember, I forgot! Only when we went back did I remember after Zhaolong told me- our houses are really engaged in a marriage!â Guifeng said awkwardly, but fortunately for him he said he had a bad memory last time, so he could try and use that.
âKang Guifeng, I really donât know what youâre saying right now!â Xiaoji smiled coldly, âAfter all, we have too many relationships with other houses right now- who knows whether or not youâre telling the truth? Who are you engaged to, anyway? I still donât understand- weâre all men in House Xiao, and you keep talking about marriage engagements- my name may be Xiao Ji, but Iâm not gay!â
âWha??â Guifeng didnât know what he should say to that- the guy was clearly saying that he didnât know who they were, and that they should scram!
âAlright, stop dilly dallying- if you have evidence, take it out, if not, then scram- I have no time to deal with you, we have guests already, a Mystic late phase peak being one of them. If you come cause trouble again donât blame me for what Iâll do!â Xiaoji threatened impatiently.
With that, he turned and walked back into the house, slamming the door.
âUmâŠâ Guifeng looked at the solid door, sighing and shaking his head, âIt seems like this isnât possible- they donât want to talk to us at all!â
âFather, maybe we should try again? After all, weâve decided to suffer losses and give them the benefits- maybe theyâll have a change of heart?â Zhaolong didnât want to give up.
âDidnât you hear? He said that he has two masters in the house, one of them a Mystic late phase peak- among the noble houses, only House Yu has that kind of power! Why would they want to work with us when theyâre this strong now? Many are trying to work with them, we canât even get in the queue!â Guifeng smiled bitterly, âTheyâre not the old House Xiao anymore, they have no use for us anymore!â
âBut just giving up like thisâŠâ Zhaolong held a fist.
âBut what can we do? If they were interested, they wouldnât have behaved like that! Nothing we say will change this! Come, letâs go home,â Guifeng was quite accepting- fact was, he didnât want to suffer humiliation again!
Zhaolong nodded and got on the car with his father, leaving quietly.
Zhaolong was very unwilling, but he had no choice- those guys werenât giving him a chance at all!
Xiao Ji ran back to the villa and told everything to his younger brother, who felt that it was a bit of a waste, âWe couldâve had them pay up big time and give us a lot of compensation⊠After all weâre lacking in funds right nowâŠâ
âHeh, brother, we now have two masters on our side- money isnât a problem at all! Thereâll be plenty of partnerships forming soon, so why spend time on traitorous and honorless Kangs?â Xiao Ji didnât mind, âI said before, itâs their fault for what they did! They could lick my toes, and Iâd still kick them away!â
âAlright, itâs true that weâve had our revenge! Youâre right- with the strength we have now, money wouldnât be a problem at all!â Xiao Ben nodded, putting the issue to the back of his hea.d
The news of House Xiao had also passed onto Lin Yi, and while he wasnât aware of the situation regarding noble houses, Uncle Fu was- the fact that the hidden house Pi was supporting House Xiao meant only bad news for the Chuâs!
Uncel Fu notified Lin Yi right away upon receiving the news.
