Legend of the Heavenly Swordsman
Ch.134 - Family Nobles and Opportunities

"Hey look! They're out!"

"That's a big cake."

People started to applaud them as the Xiao Feng family entourage had walked out of their homes. A half meter high cake was also prepared there.

The front row of the table of the guests is a place for representatives from other nobles. The place has a different atmosphere to the surrounding bench because it is occupied by people with high competition.

When the cake cutting event had begun, Xiao Yin who was still accompanying Fu Chen began to move and approached his family.

Fu Chen did not pay much attention to the entire event as his goal was indeed not for it. His gaze had been locked onto Xiao Jung who was also participating in the celebration, he had only first seen Xiao Jung's smile that was so wide.

When the cake cutting was over, Xiao Yin whispered something to her father while pointing at Fu Chen. Xiao Feng briefly widened his eyes when he heard his son's words, as Fu Chen's quite striking clothes made Xiao Feng easily find the young man.

Xiao Feng wanted to greet the young man directly, but it seemed like he would have to wait until this event was over first. Fu Chen only nodded slowly with a simple smile as his gaze met with Xiao Feng.

From Fu Chen's observations so far, it didn't seem like all of the Nobles' heads had been present at this event. Some of them just sent their representatives.

Fu Chen simply stayed in his chair while enjoying the dishes provided during the event. Even as people began to queue up to give their gifts, Fu Chen seemed to still be calm in his place.

Fu Chen only smiled wryly as he saw the Nobles boast of each other the gifts they gave. The gifts were indeed extraordinary, even the Xiao family had to provide a special place to accommodate everything.

"What the fuck is that kid, did he come just to eat?" said friend Lee Camel with ketus.

"Hmph! The village boy just doesn't seem to have enough money to buy a decent present" Lee Camel replied as he looked at Fu Chen cynically.

Fu Chen then began to approach the Xiao family entourage as the queue of glasses slightly. He became the last person in line and made her the center of attention once again.

"Sister Chen?" Xiao Ji widened his eyes when he saw Fu Chen, he threw some presents in his hand and ran over to Fu Chen.

"Haha. You're a big boy now huh." Fu Chen raised the child's body with a wide smile. Actually, their age was only three years apart, but because Fu Chen's physical and innate calm made him look much more mature.

Fu Chen then lowered the child while rubbing his hair, then whispered, "I'll show you your gift later. The gift that you gave me is quite a secret."

Xiao Ji seemed to be smiling widely, he was very curious what kind of gift Fu Chen would give.

"Chen'er, you've been so different since I last saw you." Xiao Jung smiled kindly from his seat, Fu Chen then gave a soft nod in response to the young man.

When Fu Chen crossed paths with Xiao Feng, the Patriarch of the Xiao family suddenly pulled Fu Chen's hand and hugged the young man's body. Many people there were surprised to see him, even Fu Chen himself did not expect the actions of this man.

"Who exactly is that boy, he's been making me curious ever since!" said a man from the front desk.

Xiao Feng seemed to have no intention of letting go of Fu Chen, before he had not had the chance to see the face of his helper due to having to do the treatment, and he was very unexpected when he found out that person was a young man.

"Master Xiao, I think it's a little excessive." Fu Chen's breath was slightly restrained, this man held it too tightly.

"Ah I'm sorry, I couldn't help but feel this happiness when I saw you in person." Xiao Feng let go of his embrace, his face looking sad from being happy.

Xiao Feng then invited Fu Chen to eat at the same table as him. The table was quite large and long, and those who were there were only the representatives of each family.

While observing one by one the people there turned out to be Su Anna was also present with her family. Fu Chen only remembered that if Xiao Feng's wife was also from the Su noble, surely these two families had quite a close relationship.

"So this is the young man you told me about yesterday, Anna'er." said a man next to Su Anna as he stroked his chin.

"I'm so grateful to you, son, I'll give you a gift that's worth your while for what you did when we got back." Su Luoru shook Fu Chen's hand, not believing that this young man had saved his son from the captors.

"We'd better talk about it later, it's not good to talk about it when we're celebrating someone else's birthday." Fu Chen smiled awkwardly, he was worried that the representatives of the Huang family would watch over him and the plan he had painstakingly put together would collapse.

After all the festivities were over, Lee Camel who had been watching Fu Chen since then began to dare to come to him. The young man challenged Fu Chen to practice his match over Fu Chen's previous treatment.

Fu Chen was actually quite reluctant to accept the offer, but Xiao Feng and a few others were also curious about Fu Chen's abilities.

"What's the young man? Do you dare not accept my son's offer? If you don't want to do it then bow down and beg for mercy" said a man beside Lee Untae.

Fu Chen only raised both shoulders with a faint smile, "Who is not afraid when fighting the son of a knight from this Empire…? But since I also have my pride, then just prepare first aid for your child later."

"Heh, you're good at talking young people." Lee Camel's father smiled cynically, he immediately asked the waiter to clean the garden and give enough space for Fu Chen and Lee Camel to compete.

"Chen'er, don't overdo it on him, however he's our current guest." Xiao Jung advised Fu Chen with a gentle smile, he was sure that the ability of this young man was already much higher now.

"Sister, is this enough?" Xiao Ji approached Fu Chen with a wooden branch, Fu Chen asked him to be made a weapon.

"Well this is enough," Fu Chen then opened his robe, he left the robe to Xiao Ji and made the child happy when he received it, "Take it for brother, yes."

"Hum…!" Xiao Ji nodded his head quickly, he rubbed Fu Chen's robe several times while paying attention to the dragon's complexion in the robe, "It's awesome!"

***

"Did you underestimate me?" Lee Camel looked displeased when she saw Fu Chen just carrying a piece of twig against her.

"This twig is a form of respect for you, because in fact, one hand alone is enough to fight a snot like you." Fu Chen smiled faintly.

"You-you!"

"Isn't it less interesting if it's just like this?" Fu Chen raised his palms to shoulder level, his gaze pointing at Lee Camel's father to ask the man's opinion.

"What do you mean?" replied Lee Camel's father.

"I just want to make a bet. With this bet our spirits will surely increase." Fu Chen gave a faint grin.

"Heh, look at your situation before you speak, boy-"

"It's okay dad, just accept the request, this kid is digging a hole for himself." Lee Untae smiled sinisterly as he looked at Fu Chen, from his father's observation the young man was no more than a late stage second-rate swordsman, while he had reached an early stage first-rate swordsman, while he had reached the first-rate swordsman, defeating Fu Chen was certainly an easy matter.

"Ha-ha-ha. You are my son, "The man then stroked his chin, thinking what kind of bet the boy would keep remembering for life.

"Well, if you lose to my son, you're gonna have to run around the city and take off all your clothes."

Fu Chen grinned widely but it only lasted for an instant before his expression returned to normal, "Alright, then the same goes for your son!"

"Ha-ha-ha! with this the match will start soon!"

"Haish... This child's illness recurred, did the resources I had previously given him no effect on him?" Dou Huang let out a long sigh as he shook his head slowly, not knowing anymore what he should do with the personality of this disciple of his.
