"Ten thousand it shall be…" Then, when Yin Lieyang understood what the thing in his hand was, he regretted instantly. "Ten thousand?! Ten thousand 50% energy gems?!"Yin Tianzong grinned, looking all c.o.c.ky. "Father, you promised me earlier. You wouldn"t lie to me, right?" His smile was so villainous that if he had grown a tail, he"d be exactly like devils that appeared in television shows.
Yin Lieyang"s face turned red instantly. He looked at the excellent gemstone in his hand and was stunned for half a minute!
Jiang Duxing"s expression was even more interesting. He turned his head around, his face muscles all scrunched up together. His shoulders kept trembling, it was clear he was having a hard time holding it in—he was just saying when he said he would gift Yin Tianzong a few, but Yin Lieyang had promised it…
Tang Muxin almost laughed out loud. She buried her head in Li Nianwei"s arms and whispered, "Sister Nianwei, could this be what we always hear, cheating his own father?"
"It should be." Li Nianwei was having a hard time trying not to laugh as well, she turned around with Li Nianwei. "As it seems, Yin Tianzong is not as irritating as I thought he was."
"Indeed, no matter who, as long as they spend too much time with Hong Dali, they would become amusing idiots." Lucifer"s words were spot on.
His IQ was high, indeed. Summarizing the entire situation with just one phrase!
"Cough, cough, cough!" Yin Lieyang was stunned for a while, then he started coughing. "Duxing ah, it"s been so long since we met, how about we go have a drink?"
"Sure, let"s go have a drink…" Jiang Duxing"s face turned red with embarra.s.sment. Just now, he had said he would gift Yin Tianzong a few of those. Although he was joking, this 50% energy gem… Cough cough, I didn"t say anything just now!
"En, alright." When everyone quietened down, Yin Lieyang waved his hand slightly. "You can all go out, I want to have a few words with Hong Dali."
Jiang Duxing was here to mediate. Naturally, he cooperated. "Everyone, go out. Wait outside for a while."
Soon, only Yin Lieyang and Hong Dali were left in the room.
"Your name is Hong Dali, right," Yin Tianzong asked calmly. "Do you know why I didn"t attack you directly when you bullied my son Tianzong?"
Now that no one else was around, Hong Dali"s IQ quickly returned to normal. There was no need to pretend anymore. Finally, both their wits were clearly displayed. Speaking of which, the last time he considered something so seriously was when he had just transmigrated. Hong Dali said, "Uncle has a protective character. I"m also a very protective person."
"Hahahaha, good." Hearing that, Yin Lieyang laughed out loud. "Not bad, you"re not bad."
"Actually, when I heard that you electrocuted my Tianzong, even if you were connected to Mo Tianji, but you had bullied by Tianzong, my intention was to blow up your planet. Then, get Shenluo City"s guards to kill all of you.
"But later, I heard that you did that to protect a friend. Hence, I changed my mind.
"You are a protective person, going against Galaxy Aristocrats for the sake of your friend. I have to admit, you are quite capable.
"My opinion of you changed.
"Although we are Galaxy Aristocrats and have a fairly large control over things, there is one thing that will never change.
"I may be a Galaxy Aristocrat, but I"m also a father.
"The father of my Tianzong. Now, in the future, and forever.
"As a father, I have to consider my Tianzong. My Tianzong"s character is a little immature. I"m sure you can tell. Originally, I was worried about that. But you appeared at the right time.
"You are capable, have guts, and are protective. You also have a lot of good things.
"Energy gems are very rare, I admit. But I won"t have any funny ideas on you. Since you have agreed for Tianzong to become your friend, I believe you won"t ill-treat him."
Yin Lieyang slowly said, and Hong Dali listened carefully. The atmosphere surrounding them was calm and gentle.
Speaking of which, Hong Dali did not have any evil thoughts about Yin Lieyang.
Because from Yin Lieyang, Hong Dali could see the shadow of his father, Hong Weiguo.
Similarities?
They both cared deeply for their child and were afraid that their child would encounter any bit of unhappiness.
"Don"t worry, Uncle." Hong Dali smiled. "Anyone who is my friend, I will take good care of them."
"Hahaha." Yin Lieyang laughed out loud. "If someone else had said this, I would think they"re bluffing me. But coming from you, I believe you. Because you have proved yourself with your actions. En, in that case, next, in Shenluo City, as long as you don"t get into trouble that you cannot resolve, I can take care of the rest."
With Yin Lieyang"s words, it was no exaggeration to say that Hong Dali was free to do anything in Shenluo City.
"Uh, that." Hong Dali touched his nose. "Is squandering considered trouble that cannot be resolved?"
"We are not short of money." Yin Tianzong smiled. "You can do anything. Alright, your villa is destroyed, right? It should be expected that that la.s.s Qianxue would keep you here. I will quickly arrange for matters regarding your villa. No one would dare to treat Tianzong"s friend shabbily."
Then, he left the room slowly.
Hong Dali sniffled. He did such a big thing, other things aside, he even got to hug such a big tree?
Soon, when both elders left, everyone got busy. Tang Muxin asked, "Dali, what did Uncle Yin tell you just now?"
"Ah, it"s nothing." Hong Dali smiled. "He acknowledged that I"m a friend of Big Brother Tianzong."
"Really?" Tang Muxin said in shock. "Uncle Yin is very understanding!"
"Indeed!"
Now that the crisis was over, everyone who tried so hard holding in finally burst out laughing. Jiang Qianxue laughed so much she couldn"t stand straight. "Hahaha, they were so interesting. One they heard they had to give 50% energy gems, they got so shocked their faces turned red."
"The ten thousand 50% energy gems…" Yin Tianzong was tearing. "My father was dumbfounded!"
"Ah, that," Hong Dali, who had the gaudy gold "Aristocrat.Dali" cloak over his shoulders, touched his nose and took out a few more from his s.p.a.ce watch. "You can have another since you like it. En, Miss Qianxue, here"s one for you too. I don"t have much use for them currently…"
If not, why else would Hong Dali be said to be protective? He was not just nice to friends. Otherwise, why would people around him be willing to risk their lives for him?
Jiang Qianxue finally understood why the people around him sided with him so much. This Hong Dali was generous, righteous, and willing to stand up for his friends. He was worth having followers.
"Such an expensive gift, how could I accept it…" Jiang Qianxue hesitated.
As a Galaxy Aristocrat, she did not care much about ordinary things. She had everything she wanted. Naturally, it was difficult for others to gift her anything. They"d run out of ideas and all they could gift were some flowers to represent their sincerity. It was the first time she had seen someone as generous as Hong Dali. Hence, she was a little embarra.s.sed—but her hands followed her heart. She clenched the gemstone in her hands…
Her little heart was racing.
Speaking of which, it was the first time she had accept a man"s gift…
Yin Tianzong had been very proud since he was young, he thought that there was nothing in the world that was worthy.
Hence, he was beaten today.
Before, he thought that he had been very generous when he tipped tens of thousand of Galaxy Dollars. But today, he understood what it meant to be a real nouveau riche—giving three +50% energy gems at one go in the blink of an eye!
Comparisons were odious. He was sure to be defeated if he compared himself with Hong Dali!
"That," Yin Tianzong was a little hesitant. "Dali ah, are we good friends from now on? If not, I"m a little embarra.s.sed to accept this…"
"Yes, we are already good friends!" Hong Dali nodded decisively. "Good things should be shared. I have no use for it, anyway."
"Good friends! We have to be good friends!" Yin Tianzong put his hand around Hong Dali"s neck. "If anyone dares bully in the future, let me know. I will settle everything for you, no questions asked!" This guy was a perfect example of forgetting the pain once the scar was healed. He was beaten up so badly by Hong Dali previously, now he was so good to him, even promising this…
But that was how Yin Tianzong was. It was actually quite cute.
He was straightforward and would not stab anyone in the back. If you were his enemy, he would go all out against you. But if you were his friend, his feelings were all expressed on his face. There was not a bit of insincerity.
Seeing that everything had been completely resolved, everyone let out a long breath.
"Alright, Dali." Jiang Qianxue smiled. "Since there"s nothing else, I"ll return first. I need to arrange your joining as an honorary aristocrat."
"En, en, okay." Hong Dali nodded. "Please go ahead, Miss Qianxue. Hehe, ah, oh right," Hong Dali thought for a while and said, "Don"t arrange for me to do any work. I"m lazy by nature. I can"t do any work. Just the name is fine."
Although he had become an honorary aristocrat, he would not do anything—his biggest reason to become an honorary aristocrat was how das.h.i.+ng the cloak looked. Otherwise, he couldn"t be bothered…
"I understand." Jiang Qianxue smiled. "The honorary aristocrats of the Saiyan clan are all warriors. Tianzong"s side are all in charge of businesses. Hence, there isn"t much work for my side. Even the performance a.s.sessment held once a year for the honorary aristocrats won"t have anything to do with you."
"Good, good." Hong Dali was satisfied with that. "Ah, my usual request is to be outside of the system, not constrained by any rules. Haha!"
Outside of the system, not constrained by any rules. See what this person said, how high cla.s.s!
