Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 9: The deal
"Fifth Prince, Seventh Prince, please sit down." Zhang Lei invited the two princes to sit in the main place.
Xuan Wu-Fifth Prince-and Xuan Yin-Seventh Prince-nodded then sat down at the spot.
Zhang Lei also sat down, then signaled to the waiter to come and bring him some food.
Starting from snacks to heavy meals, all were issued to satisfy the desires of the two princes. Not to forget also with wine as a complement that must be in a banquet.
"Fifth Prince, Seventh Prince, please try our dishes. Although it looks ordinary, but this old man can guarantee it feels amazing."
"Patriarch Zhang, don't be too shy. We are not very picky about food. As long as it's delicious, that's more than enough. Isn't that right, Seventh Brother?"
"..."
Xuan Wu frowned in not getting an answer from his brother. He turned his face to the side and found Xuan Yin busy with herself.
"Seventh Sister, what are you doing?" xuan Wu asked in a soft voice.
"It's okay." Xuan Yin replied origin. But he still could not calm down and circulated his gaze around.
Ever since entering the hall he felt someone continue to pay attention to him. Not an ordinary gaze as shown by some others, but rather clingy and dangerous.
Strangely, however, while trying to figure it out by observing everyone within the hall, he could not find it.
"Patriarch Zhang, it looks like I can't linger here for long. I'm going out to get some fresh air." Xuan Yin got up from her seat and directly left without waiting for Zhang Lei's reply.
Upon Xuan Yin's departure, almost everyone there raised their heads in surprise. So did Xuan Wu who spontaneously put his food back on the table.
"Seventh Brother, you can't go as you please! Seventh Brother ...." Xuan Wu wanted to stop Xuan Yin. But instead of stopping after hearing his sentence, Xuan Yin instead grew staunchly left the hall.
"Fifth Prince, let the Seventh Prince seek fresh air. Maybe it's too crowded and annoying." Zhang Lei waved his hand, asking some people to go accompany the Seventh Prince.
Xuan Wu was finally only able to sigh. He sat back quietly while trying to ignore what had just happened.
...
Meanwhile outside the hall. Xuan Yin who had just come out immediately sensed the whereabouts of others following him silently.
His footsteps stopped and slowly twisted his body. "This is the first and last warning. Come back and don't follow me, or you'll feel the consequences!"
The two people ruled by Zhang Lei were unwilling to come out. They bowed and apologized. "I'm sorry, Seventh Prince. We're just following the Patriarch's orders."
Xuan Yin snorted. "Go! I don't like bullies very much."
The two middle-aged men looked at each other for a moment, then they returned to the hall.
Seeing this Xuan Yin snorted. He was intending to continue his steps, until one sound made him flinch on the spot.
"Why is the Seventh Prince so rushed? Too bad the food that has been prepared so not eaten."
Xuan Yin pulled her gaze forward and found the familiar figure of the man. In a short time his forehead shriveled.
"You-I ... It just so happens to meet here. I'm gonna kill you!" Xuan Yin directly pulled out a sword. But when he was about to attack, one sentence made him speechless
"Seventh Prince, if you forget, I know your great secret."
The deg!
Xuan Yin's face became grim. He was momentarily silent, but a second later began to carve out a fluffy smile. "As long as I kill you quickly, won't you have a chance to tell others?"
Hehe...
Zhang Yu laughed. The suddenness of it made Xuan Yin stare full of warning. "What's so funny? Stop laughing!"
Xuan Yin's white face flushed perfectly. He had dozens of words to say, but it was as if it was stuck in the throat.
"You're just bluffing, aren't you?" tanyanya.
"Please try. That's also if Prince-O doesn't, I mean Seventh Princess dares to do it."
"..."
Xuan Yin was truly furious at this moment. However, he did not dare to take the risk. In the end, he could only compromise.
"What do you want?"
"I know you came because you had a purpose. So there's no need to make small talk and say what you want!" In his life, he had never been in a situation like this. Really, he wanted to swing his sword.
But unfortunately he could not do anything because this concerned his identity. Do not let his efforts for years disappear just because of one problem.
"He-he, it's not hard. The Seventh Princess only needs to follow my one wish."
When he heard Zhang Yu's remark, Xuan Yin's facial water instantly changed. His hand as fast as lightning shot up to point the sword. "Don't go too far! I still haven't counted when you peeked at me in the lake. Don't think that because you keep a secret you can act on it."
Zhang Yu cleared his throat slowly while scratching the nape of his non-itchy head. "Egem ... That's really a misunderstanding. So no need to bring it up again. And as for my request, I just want you to help me on the maturity show."
Xuan Yin's frown further furrowed after Zhang Yu explained his wish. He turned his blushing face away, and asked to be sure. "Is it really just that?"
"Sure,"
Xuan Yin pondered. He wanted to hide his face in shame. Thinking Zhang Yu would ask for something outrageous. But it turned out to only ask for help during maturity events.
"All right, I'll do it. But as a man you must hold your word."
"Seventh Daughter, ...."
"Don't call me Seventh Princess!" cut Xuan Yin raised her tone.
Zhang Yu smiled wryly, but still followed Xuan Yin's wishes. "The Seventh Prince need not worry. I'm not gonna tell anyone this secret."
"Tomorrow, when you're a judge, you just have to defend and support me on the show of maturity."
"Why did you ask for that? you feel you can't escape?" xuan Yin asked sneered.
However, Zhang Yu responded lightly. "Because there's this kind of help, of course it should be taken advantage of. If not, isn't it a waste?"
"You shameless cunning man!" grunts Xuan Yin.
"Of course it's not comparable to the Seventh Princess deceiving so many people."
"You ...."
"Seventh Brother, what are you doing here?"
Before finishing his sentence, Xuan Yin quickly twisted his body once he realized the arrival of his fifth brother, Xuan Wu. The tail of his eyes glanced at Zhang Yu's place, but already did not find the man.
Is he gone?
"Seventh Brother, I'm asking you." Xuan Wu approached. He patted Xuan Yin's shoulder until the girl jumped over.
"Fifth Brother, since when did you get here? Is the banquet over?" Xuan Yin was worried that this brother of his was hearing his conversation. But after seeing her unchanging expression, she became calmer.
"The banquet finished sooner because you weren't there."
"really? I was starting to get hungry. But never mind, we'll just go back." Xuan Yin waltzed away after saying so. He tried to stay away from his fifth brother to avoid questions.
