Chapter 1553 - 1553 Friendship Back Then
1553 Friendship Back Then
Si Cheng suddenly pointed at Yu Huang and asked Mo Xiao, “There are no outsiders here. According to the sect rules, does Prime Emperor Mo Xiao also address Ah Huang as Second Senior Master?”
Mo Xiao was rendered speechless by Si Cheng.
Yu Huang was caught in the crossfire. She hurriedly ate the nutritious porridge with her head lowered and pretended not to hear their conversation.
“Heh.” After a snicker, Mo Xiao asked Si Cheng, “I wonder why you came to my house, Prime Emperor Si Cheng?”
Si Cheng smiled and said, “I heard that Grand Mentor is temporarily staying in Prime Emperor Mo Xiao’s residence. Since I’ve come to the Starlight Empire, I naturally have to visit him. Prime Emperor Mo Xiao has already become Grand Mentor’s disciple, so we’re disciples of the same sect. Prime Emperor Mo Xiao’s house is extraordinary, and there are many rooms. I thought about it. Instead of spending money to stay in a hotel, why don’t we stay at Prime Emperor Mo Xiao’s place for a few days so that we can improve our relationship as fellow disciples?”
!!
Mo Xiao sneered. “Who wants to develop a relationship with you?”
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting tense, Yu Huang spoke up in time to mediate the awkward situation. “G.o.dfather, I haven’t seen Second Uncle in a long time. Since Second Uncle is here, let him stay for a few days to accompany me. Besides, Old Madam Jing’s birthday is imminent. I want to hear Second Uncle tell me about the interesting things that happened when he and my parents were studying in the inner academy, so when we go to the Jing family, I can have something to talk about.”
Upon hearing this, Si Cheng gave Yu Huang a look of approval.
Mo Xiao had always indulged Yu Huang and he didn’t actually want to chase Si Cheng away. He just wanted to snub Si Cheng out of habit. Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao said to Si Cheng indifferently, “Since Ah Huang has spoken, please stay in the Mo residence for a few days, Prime Emperor Si Cheng.”
“Then I’m sorry to disturb you, Prime Emperor Mo Xiao.” With that, Si Cheng sat down on the stool opposite him and said to the butler, “Please add another set of bowls and chopsticks. I haven’t had lunch yet.”
Mo Xiao rolled his eyes.
The butler could tell that the Patriarch wasn’t really hostile to Prime Emperor Si Cheng, so he smiled as he went to get the bowl and chopsticks.
After dinner, the three of them moved to the tea room.
Mo Xiao held his teacup as he sat at the head of the table in a domineering posture. Then, he closed his eyes to rest. The spring afternoon sunlight shone on his body through the moon cave window and his smooth white hair emitted a charming silver light under the sunlight.
As Prime Emperor Si Cheng stared at this scene, he suddenly took out the pen he carried with him to draw on the white paper.
Si Cheng, who loved embroidery, was also very good at drawing.
He quickly drew a picture of a black fox lying under the spring sun.
When Yu Huang saw that the fox in the painting was very vivid, she s.n.a.t.c.hed the painting and handed it to Mo Xiao to take a look. Mo Xiao opened his eyes lazily and glanced at the painting. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. He reached out and took the painting as he said to Si Cheng, “You’re a little slovenly, but his drawing skills aren’t bad.”
Si Cheng was flattered to be praised by Mo Xiao.
“Alright, the two of you can talk about your stuff. Pretend that I don’t exist.” With that, Mo Xiao continued to rest.
After saying that, Si Cheng saw Yu Huang frown and realized that his words were inappropriate, so Si Cheng hurriedly explained, “Sorry, your mother’s code name in school was ‘demoness’. We used to call your mother ‘demoness’. This wasn’t to mock her, but to affirm her charm.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Huang’s expression improved a little.
Si Cheng continued, “Later on, your father went through many tests before he finally defeated Red Wolf, Zhou Yue, and the other compet.i.tors and successfully joined the elite team.”
Upon hearing the mention of the Red Wolf and Zhou Yue, the Red Wolf, who always loved to wear a red dress, and Miss Zhou, who was covered in tattoos and had a bald head, flashed across Yu Huang’s mind. “I’ve seen the two seniors you mentioned before in Ascension Town.”
“Yes, I know.” Si Cheng had been to Ascension Town before, so he naturally met the two of them.
“Then how did the three of you become like-minded friends and sworn buddies?” Yu Huang asked curiously.
Si Cheng suddenly laughed and said, “In the beginning, we all ostracized your father and looked down on his background. Later, when we went out to train, Zhang Zhanyi was almost bullied by an expert from another school, but it was your father who risked his life to save her. It was because of this matter that we truly accepted him as a teammate. It was also after that incident that the demoness began to think highly of Yin Mingjue.”
Yu Huang smiled. “So, the reason my father was able to obtain your recognition was because he saved the damsel in distress?”
Si Cheng picked up his teacup and took a sip. Then, he smiled and said, “Your uncle doted on your aunt the most. Your father successfully saved your aunt from those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, so your uncle was very grateful to your father. After that, your uncle and your father became good friends. Your uncle and I have always had a good relationship, so we became best buddies as well.”
“However, at that time, we didn’t know that Yin Mingjue’s goal in joining the elite team wasn’t just to become a big shot to represent the academy in the compet.i.tion. His real goal was actually your mother. However, at that time, we didn’t think highly of him. Knowing Yin Mingjue’s feelings for the demoness, who wouldn’t laugh at him?”
“But that kid was really capable and was really devoted to your mother. That year, when we partic.i.p.ated in the academies’ compet.i.tion, your mother was almost killed by the group of hooligans who bullied Zhang Zhanyi back then. In the critical moment, your father had an inspiration out of love and created the Blazing Moon Art in the arena. He used one move to defeat the enemy and turned the situation around. After that, your mother fell for your father.”
As he spoke, Si Cheng smacked his lips and lamented, “If I were the demoness, it would be difficult for me not to be tempted.”
When he heard this, Mo Xiao’s lips curled up slightly.
Yu Huang couldn’t help but imagine the scene back then according to the words described by Si Cheng. Just thinking about it made Yu Huang’s blood boil. She was so excited that she couldn’t help but dig her toes into the ground.
Her father was so handsome!
“Our team’s relationship has always been very good, but when we were about to graduate, for some reason, your mother’s relationship with your father became very strained. For a period of time, your uncle kept trying to break up your mother and father, but your mother had always been an a.s.sertive person and didn’t listen to your uncle at all. After graduation, your parents traveled around together to fight monsters and level up. The next time they reunited was at your uncle’s wedding.”
“After the wedding, your uncle and your father suddenly became close again. When we were drunk on the night of the wedding, everyone put on their gowns and ran to the rooftop of the hotel to sing together and talk about each other’s wishes and ideals.”
