Chapter 1225 - 1225 589 Where Did This Greenhorn Come From

Chapter 1225: Chapter 589: Where Did This Greenhorn Come From! Chapter 1225: Chapter 589: Where Did This Greenhorn Come From! Xu Bo had become the Dao Protector for Zhao Ge shortly after Zhao Ge was born.

Zhao Ge was not only a direct disciple of a Grandmaster Creator but also his actual grandson.

Between Grandmaster Creators, there was fierce competition over the capabilities of their disciples, and taking one’s direct bloodline as a disciple was largely frowned upon, as it could easily become the subject of criticism.

The Dusk Master feared the judgment of other Grandmaster Creators and had always concealed Zhao Ge’s identity and had not publicly acknowledged Zhao Ge as his grandson.

However, Zhao Ge was well aware of his own identity, and the Dusk Master’s doting and indulgence had led to Zhao Ge developing a particularly foul temper, which Xu Bo found quite helpless.

In Xu Bo’s eyes, the Dusk Master was excellent in every aspect except for how he raised his grandson.

If Zhao Ge were his grandson, Xu Bo, even if he had to spend his fortune, would have corrected any issues upon discovery, never allowing his grandson to become so arrogant!

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ge angrily retorted.

“Uncle Xu, you didn’t turn a blind eye to the cold treatment I just received, so how come you end up taking their side now!?”

“So what if Grandfather arrives? Could it be that Grandfather would allow others to bully me!?”

Xu Bo couldn’t help but curl his lip upon hearing Zhao Ge’s angry attempts to cast himself as the victim; he was well aware of Zhao Ge’s little schemes.

Due to the Dusk Master’s influence, Zhao Ge was usually held in high esteem, and anyone who met him would give him face.

Some even went to the extreme and indulged Zhao Ge shamelessly, hoping to tap into a channel of resources through him.

Zhao Ge insisted on accompanying the Dusk Master to Guardian City this time, wanting to experience what it felt like to travel incognito.

Otherwise, based on Xu Bo’s understanding of Zhao Ge, he would never take the initiative to interact with others.

When powerful factions travel abroad, they typically only communicate with other factions that they have dealings with. It is quite normal to be refused a visit without disclosing one’s identity.

It was not just Zhao Ge who was targeted; it was heard that other visiting forces also faced the same rejection.

The guests had just arrived in Guardian City, naturally weary from the journey and in need of rest, so it simply wasn’t the right time to disturb them.

But Zhao Ge made a big deal out of it.

As a disciple of a Grandmaster Creator, every action outside represented the face of the Grandmaster Creator behind him, and such behavior, if it got out, would undoubtedly bring shame to the Dusk Master.

It would be a different story if it had happened elsewhere, but most of the forces that had come to Guardian City this time were likely backed by a Grandmaster Creator.

Without knowing the details of the other party, it was certainly not appropriate to pick a fight.

Just as Xu Bo was about to advise Zhao Ge to let the matter slide, Zhao Ge angrily stood up.

“The more I think about it, the more I can’t swallow this insult!”

“Uncle Xu, go gather our men and accompany me for another visit. I refuse to believe they’ll reject me this time!”

Zhao Ge’s emphasis was on “visit,” but it seemed more accurate to say he was seeking trouble.

Xu Bo lacked the power to stop Zhao Ge; he had been under the Dusk Master’s command since his Four-pointed Star Beast Master days, and as Zhao Ge’s Dao Protector, he was essentially also Zhao Ge’s servant.

Over the years, Xu Bo had cleaned up after Zhao Ge more than once.

Although Xu Bo couldn’t stop Zhao Ge, he still advised him.

“Ah Ge, when you’re out and about, you need to understand one thing – there’s always someone better than you, and sometimes it’s best to avoid trouble.”

“Have you forgotten the trouble you got into two years ago when you offended the disciple of Lord Han Ming’s assistant? You suffered quite a bit for that!”

Zhao Ge couldn’t help but spit in disgust.

“Pah, that fellow was two years older than me but couldn’t beat me in a fight; would I ever have apologized to him if he weren’t associated with Lord Han Ming? I even compensated him with plenty of elixirs.”

Mentioning this, Zhao Ge ground his teeth in anger as if he had been subjected to a grave injustice.

Xu Bo sighed helplessly; that assistant disciple of Han Ming had used his background to oppress Zhao Ge, yet wasn’t Zhao Ge doing the same thing now?

As a disciple of a Grandmaster Creator who only knew brute force and aggression, it was doubtful if Zhao Ge, even with some talent as a Creator, could truly inherit the mantle of the Dusk Master.

Since Zhao Ge wouldn’t listen to him, Xu Bo didn’t bother to say anything more.

Not long ago, the Dusk Master had advanced from Mid-level Grandmaster Creator to Senior Creation Zenith Master, and even factions related to Grandmaster Creators would not want to offend a direct disciple of a Senior Creation Zenith Master.

Upon revealing his identity, they would likely give Zhao Ge some face to avoid major conflicts.

Fang Mu had just finished talking with Jiang Weng, ready to leave his room and join Jun Feng, Zhang Yue, Shu Liangjun, and others for dinner.

She Wan, the She Family’s Noble Girl, not only had good culinary skills herself but was also quite talented, taking up the chef’s duties whenever Fang Mu was out.

Fang Mu had just sat down when he saw Jun Feng’s eyebrows suddenly furrow.

“Heh, looks like we have some unwelcome guests!”

As soon as Jun Feng’s voice faded, a vigorous knocking came from the front door, so intense it could almost be described as pounding.

Jun Feng used his spiritual power to determine the identity of the leading young man.

This young man had been here recently with others seeking a visit and was refused by Jun Feng; why now had he brought so many people?
