Chapter 72
Xiao Yu wanted to leave baby dragon with Antonidas but it didnât want to stay back as Tyrande, Leah and Siwen were leaving with him. As a result, Xiao Yu let Leah held the baby dragon.
They walked along a road to stand in front of a magnificent manor. There were two, three meter tall lion statues, by the gates of the manor. They were carved very well and looked alive and mighty. Xiao Yu secretly whispered in his heart: âMy Lion town is too shabby in comparison to this city. No wonder, Housekeeper Mo looked down at me and my territory.â
Housekeeper Mo directly went inside. The guards at the gates bowed in salute and their attitude was very respectful towards Housekeeper Mo. However, they didnât care about Siwen as if she was a stranger.
They walked through the mansion. There were many trails which took the travelers to different parts of the mansion.
Housekeeper Mo didnât look back as he moved forward. Right now, he didnât care much about Xiao Yu as he didnât tried to discuss or talk with him. Instead he was wondering how to put bad words about Xiao Yu in front of his lord to make him suffer.
In comparison, Xiao Yu was like a tourist walking inside the mansion. He would stop here and there to look at different parts of the residence. It seemed as if he was checking the âForbidden Cityâ.
Housekeeper Mo said in his heart: âYou will see what happens to you in a while.â
They passed through many corridors and reached a small but secluded courtyard. The courtyard was designed in a unique way. There were status everywhere. There was even a waterfall.
âNice place.â Xiao Yu praised the manor.
Housekeeper Mo didnât dare to directly enter through the door of the courtyard. Instead he said something to the guard.
Xiao Yu saw that there was a flower garden in the courtyard. There were variety of beautiful flowers. He went in to fold them out. Baby dragon saw that Xiao Yu was picking flowers so it jumped out of Leahâs arms and join Xiao Yu in action. It began to pick all the most beautiful and lush flowers.
Housekeeper Moâs face turned green when he saw the sight. âYouâŠYouâŠâ He was only able to say two words but couldnât continue. It was the flower garden that was the Lordâs favorite. His lord had spend hundreds of thousands of gold coins to buy rare species of flowers and special gardeners to grow the garden. Anyone who dared to pick a flower from the garden would be beheaded!
However, this hooligan dared to pick everything that he took a liking to.
The guard came from inside and said something to Housekeeper Mo.
Housekeeper Mo nodded his head. He suppressed the anger in his heart and turned towards Xiao Yu: âLord Yu, Lord is waiting for us.â
Xiao Yu waved his hand: âWait for few minutes. There are several more beautiful flowers that I have to pick or I will feel bad until my death.â
âYou ⊠â Housekeeper Moâs hands trembled. The lord ordered them to enter while this hooligan was indifferent to Lordâs order but continued to spoil the flower garden.
âXiao Yu, we shouldnât make father wait.â Siwen said as she saw Xiao Yu act indifferent.
Xiao Yu reluctantly came out from the flower garden after Siwenâs words. The baby dragon also brought flowers. They gave them to Leah, Tyrande and Siwen. Siwen didnât dare to take them. But Leah and Tyrande didnât care as they inserted those flowers onto their hair or cloths.
They passed through the gate and came to stand in front of a large hall. Xiao Yu didnât know whether it was a European style or Chinese architecture but the place looked very elegant.
âLord, 4th Miss has come back.â Housekeeper Mo said as he stood outside the door.
âSiwen greets father.â The door wasnât open but Siwen respectfully saluted her father.
After a long while a sound echoed: âGreat! She came back.â
Nothing was said after those words.
Xiao Yu couldnât help but roll his eyes. If the other side wasnât Siwenâs father he would have kicked open the door and entered the place.
âLord, Lord of the Lion town, Xiao Yu has personally come to visit you.â Housekeeper Mo said once more.
âOh, even nephew Yu has come. I have been busy with the affairs of the territory so Iâm ashamed not to greet my friends son.â
The door to the hall opened and Xiao Yu was able to see Siwenâs father sit in his seat.
Siwenâs fatherâs name was Wang Tian Hu. He was also a fierce warrior of the sky Lion Dynasty. He had fought along with Xiao Zhan Tian and done a lot of military feats. As a result, the emperor of the dynasty had bestowed title of Count to Wang Tian Hu and given him territory.
âWell.â Housekeeper Mo went inside without offering Xiao Yu to enter first.
Xiao Yu winked at baby dragon and looked at Housekeeper Mo. The baby dragon was as wicked as Xiao Yu as it jumped from Leahâs arms and spat fire at the long dress of Housekeeper Mo.
Baby dragonâs breath of flame was powerful. It was able to even burn down branches of trees let alone cloths.
As a result, Housekeeper Moâs cloth burst in fire. He shouted out as he quickly ran in front. Baby dragon seemed happy as it looked after Housekeeper Mo running in flames.
The quiet places turned chaotic in moments. Housekeeper Mo was wildly running around as he shouted out loud.
Xiao Yu laughed: âI didnât expect Housekeeper Mo to be able to ran so fast at such age!â
Wang Tian Hu was sitting in the main seat and chatting with his guests. Housekeeper Moâs outburst had created a chaotic scene which turned the place something similar to a circus which displeased him. At the same time, an icy blue air burst out as it wrapped around Housekeeper Moâs body. The flames were turned off in an instant.
Xiao Yu turned to look towards a man wearing a magicianâs gown. He was gesturing with his hands while chanting something.
âA mage?â Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes as he looked at the man.
âIT seems he is a third-rank magician. Wangs are smart to win over such a mage.â Xiao Yu secretly said.
âThanks master Lu.â Wang Tian Hu said.
Xiao Yu turned towards the main seat. A burly middle-aged man with thick eyebrows was sitting there. He had the eyes of a tiger. The man was Wang Tian Hu.
âThanks Master Lu for saving me. Lord please punish the villain.â Housekeeper Mo lost face in front of so many people. So he begged Wang Tian Hu to solve out his problem.
Wang Tian Hu glanced at Xiao Yu.
âHousekeeper, you have traveled for a long time. Sit and rest.â A coldness flashed past Wang Tian Huâs eyes.
Siwen didnât dare to even breathe because of fear. She was afraid of her father since early age. She never knew what a fatherly love meant.
Xiao Yu laughed as he picked baby dragon and faced Wang Tian Hu: âIt must be uncle Wang. Iâm embarrassed by my petâs actions. I will have to discipline it after I go back.â
Xiao Yu was holding the baby dragon as he stood still and straight. He didnât bend down to show respect.
âYour pet tried to burn Wang familyâs housekeeper! As a younger generation you didnât even kneel to stand in ceremony after seeing your elder. Is this the way your father educated you?â A noble sitting in the seat of guests said in a cold tone as he stood up.
Xiao Yu turned over to look at the youth: âWhatâs you motherâs name?â
âYou âŠâ The young noble snapped at Xiao Yuâs words.
âI want a duel!â The youth shouted out.
Xiao Yuâs face turned serious when he saw the young noble dare to ask him for a duel: âYou dare to roar loudly in my uncle Wangâs mansion? Is this the noble attitude? You seem old but donât understand the etiquette. How did you father brought you up?â
Xiao Yu made the youth eat back his words.
âYou âŠâ The youth was angered. He pulled out his sword from his waist.
âUncle Wang, if you canât educated the man then Iâm more than pleased to throw away the garbage from this place.â Xiao Yu looked at Wang Tian Hu. It was as if he was speaking to his childhood friend rather than an elder.
Wang Tian Huâs eyebrows wrinkled as he looked at Xiao Yu and slowly said: âHue, put down your sword. Your father will punish you if knows that you have taken out sword in my presence.â
The youth called Hue realized his rude action and put away his sword. However, he didnât sit down but looked at Xiao Yu: âIf you are a man then accept my challenge after we leave this mansion.â
Xiao Yu rolled his eyes: âWho the hell are you? Why should I accept your challenge?â
Wang Tian Hu saw that Hue wasnât Xiao Yuâs opponent so he waved his hand: âNephew Yu, its rare to see you come to visit me. I havenât seen you since you were just a small kid. I didnât expect you to grow up to be such a man.â
Xiao Yu smiled as he knew that Wang Tian Hu was using sarcasm: âFather had often mentioned uncle Wangâs bravery and I have admired you since young age. In fact, uncle Wang is a hero in my eyes.â
Wang Tian Hu laughed: âNephew Yu is too polite. Your father and I have gone to way too many expeditions. He was the real hero that I admired.â
Xiao Yu smiled: âHe was a hero but after he passed over Uncle Wang is the one left in this world.â
Xiao Yu didnât wait for Wang Tian Hu continue to speak as he went forward and sat down on a chair.
Grom, Tyrande and Leah followed and stood behind Xiao Yu.
Siwen was standing outside the door as she didnât dare to step in because of her father.
âThe boy from the village. Donât you know the rules? The guards canât come to this place.â A fat noble wearing luxury gown said in a cold town when he saw Xiao Yu sat down without showing respect to anyone.
Xiao Yu looked up and down at the fat noble: âWho are you? Whatâs your name?â
The fat man laughed: âYou are not qualified to know my name.â
Wang Tian Hu interrupted: âNephew Yu isnât aware but he is my friend. He is Earl Yun who has his territory in the southwest of the Sky Lion Dynasty. He is a famous and well respected man.â
Xiao Yu opened his mouth: âOh, so it turned out to be Earl Yun from the south. However, Earl Yun doesnât act like a cloud.â (yun means cloud in chinese so he is making a wordplay by saying that he should be like clouds)
Earl Yun replied: âNonsense.â
Xiao Yu once again said: âIs your mother doing alright?â
Earl Yun froze for a moment. He pointed towards Xiao Yu: âYou⊠YouâŠ!â
Xiao Yu smiled: âDonât get excited. Iâm a polite man since birth. My father taught my to be humble against the others so Iâve always been acting so.â
âCount Wang, who is the man? Who is this bastard that acts without following the etiquette?â Earl Yun stood up as his big belly swayed right and left.
Xiao Yu was surprised when he saw the man stand up. He said in a cold tone: âWho did you say a bastard is? Who did you say doesnât follow the rules?â
After lots of battles and wars the killing intent in Xiao Yuâs eyes were much impressive. The Earl Yun was a normal ordinary civil service man in comparison to Xiao Yu.
Nevertheless, Earl Yun didnât think that Xiao Yu would dare to act rashly in here: âYou didnât get house ownerâs permission but sat wherever you wanted! You brought your bodyguards with you! As a junior you had to follow the rules. Now you dare to ask me who the bastard is?â
Xiao Yu shouted while his eyes turned cold: âI donât follow the rules? Are you all members of the Sky Lion Dynasty?â
Earl Yun replied: âDonât spout nonsense.â
Xiao Yu coldly said: âIs everyone part of the Sky Lion Dynasty in here?â
Earl Yun replied: âOf course we are. What do you want to do? Do you want to rebel?â
Xiao Yu cursed as he looked at Earl Yun: âSince all of you are part of Sky Lion Dynasty⊠Then why none of you follow the rules of the Dynasty? What is the biggest rule in the dynasty? The civilians must respect nobles. Nobles canât go beyond their own when meeting higher nobles. Arenât you aware of this rule? Donât you know that you have stand in ceremony and follow the ritual when you meet higher nobles? You are a shitty count or earl and Iâm an Imperial Duke! Who do you think weighs more? Who has to stand in ceremony? Isnât it that all of you have to stand in ceremony in front of me? Why didnât all of you stand up? Why didnât you salute me? And here you are telling me to follow the rules. Iâm the fucking law in here! I can relieve a fat bastard like you from the status given by the Sky Lion Dynasty⊠These are the fucking rules!â
