"I know him too …" Xie Haiyang's breathing quickened and his eyes glazed over. He felt as if his brain wasn't working properly. A figure had appeared instinctively in his mind, but in the next instant, he had forcibly erased it. He even kept telling himself that it was impossible …
"That's right. You know him too." Grand Senior Sister coughed, her expression changing from strange to solemn. However, there was a gleam of pride in her eyes that Xie Haiyang couldn't see. She forced herself to keep a straight face and spoke calmly.
"He's your … Sixteenth Martial Uncle, Wang Baole!"
Xie Haiyang's entire body trembled. He felt as if a million bolts of lightning had exploded in his head, splitting his cheap master's voice into countless echoes that reverberated in his ears.
"You …"
"Sixteenth … Martial Uncle …"
"Wang Baole …"
Xie Haiyang's head was completely dizzy. He could not help but raise his hand and hit his head hard. His expression was a little dazed as he stared blankly at his Master and Grandmaster. His Master had yet to finish speaking.
"Yang 'er, I've heard your grandmaster talk about you. You're usually a very shrewd person, and you're close to Wang Baole. Don't you know that in our lineage, he and Chen Qing are like family?" She even shook her head and sighed to match her words, causing a sense of helplessness to appear on her face.
Xie Haiyang was completely dumbfounded. He looked at Inferno Laozu and stammered, "Grand … Grandmaster … didn't you say … that you had a disciple who was close to Chen Qing? But, but … at that time, Wang Baole hadn't formally acknowledged you as his master yet!"
"That's right. Wang Baole is indeed my disciple. Although he hadn't formally acknowledged me as his master yet, in my heart, he is my disciple. What, you're the one who misunderstood and now you're blaming me?" Inferno Laozu put on a displeased expression, as if to say, "I'm not lying. You're the one who didn't realize it, kid."
"I … You …" Xie Haiyang suddenly stood up, gasping for breath. His eyes were wide open, and his body was trembling non-stop. He had already begun to wail in his heart. He felt wronged, wronged as if the heavens were overflowing.
He never would have thought that after going through so much trouble, the one who could really do the job was actually by his side!!
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have left House Xie's marketplace so anxiously that day. He wouldn't have been so worried that he had to come up with a solution. He wouldn't have been so worried these days. He wouldn't have racked his brains to find someone familiar with Chen Qing.
At this moment, he even felt that he had helped Wang Baole at the Xie family market that day. At that time, he reckoned that if he had said a few words, the other party would most likely have considered it. If he had put in a little more capital, this matter would have been perfectly resolved long ago.
Why did it have to be like this …
Not long ago, Wang Baole had asked him why he was looking for Chen Qing. Now that he thought about it, it was clear that Wang Baole wanted to help him.
But he hadn't paid attention just now …
"Heavens … I … I …" Xie Haiyang wanted to cry, but no tears came out. A strong sense of unwillingness erupted from the bottom of his heart. He now understood that Lie Yan Laozu had misled him.
"What about you? You have no respect for your elders! "Lie Yan Laozu frowned and snorted coldly. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and a powerful aura spread out.
This scene immediately made Xie Haiyang's body tremble, and he came to his senses. He felt as if Lie Yan Laozu had turned into a supervolcano that was about to erupt. Once it did, the heavens would collapse and the earth would shatter.
The expression of the Eldest Senior Sister also changed. She immediately stepped forward and pulled Xie Haiyang, who was trembling all over. Standing in front of him, she directly bowed to the Flame Ancestor, who was obviously angry.
"Master, please calm down!!"
"Calm down? Dong 'er, I was wrong. I shouldn't have let you take this disciple. Fine, I'll abolish his identity today. The Blaze Family doesn't have such an insolent person! " As he spoke, Lie Yan Laozu raised his right hand. However, Grand Senior Sister's expression was extremely anxious, and she immediately knelt down.
"Master!!"
"Disciple has never accepted a disciple before. Now that I've personally agreed to accept Yang 'er as my disciple, he is my disciple. Master, please let him off the hook for the sake of his ignorance. He … he's still a child!"
"You …" Lie Yan Laozu's expression was ugly. His gaze fell on his eldest disciple, and then he looked at Xie Haiyang, who was clearly frightened by him. After a long while, he snorted coldly.
"Xie Haiyang, if your master hadn't pleaded for you, I would've punished you according to the sect rules … Fine, he's your disciple. You decide what to do with him!" With that, Lie Yan Laozu flicked his sleeves and left, looking very angry.
As he left, the pressure in the tower dissipated, and everything returned to normal.
If Wang Baole were here and saw this scene, he would definitely cry out in his heart. He would think that his master was playing too realistically with him, even putting on a show of self-injury …
But Xie Haiyang didn't know that. He saw that he had angered Lie Yan Laozu, saw Lie Yan Laozu's aura explode, and saw his new master plead for mercy in order to save him. He was instantly shaken to the core.
"Master …"
Grand Senior Sister sighed and stood up to look at Xie Haiyang.
"Yang 'er, since you've joined the Blaze Family, you have to abide by the sect rules. Today, you've offended your grandmaster. If there's a next time … even I can't help you.
"Also, think about it carefully. Did you lose out?" Grand Senior Sister gave Xie Haiyang a meaningful look. That look caused Xie Haiyang's body to shake violently, and he finally came to his senses.
He knew that his master was right. Even if his grandmaster had misled him, in the end, he was the one who had misunderstood …
He instantly realized that he had lost his composure and his train of thought had deviated. Since he had joined the Blaze Family, he was considered a member of the Blaze Galaxy. At the same time, he didn't lose anything. Because he was in the same sect as Wang Baole, it would be easier and easier to ask for his help.
Besides, after joining the Fiery Flame Bloodline, his position in the Xie Family would be higher. His business would be smoother in the future. After all, his background was much bigger than before. Most importantly … he was just one of the many members of the Xie Family. If there was trouble, the Forefather of the Xie Family wouldn't necessarily take action for him. However, in the Fiery Flame Star System, he was the only third-generation disciple. Once there was trouble, the Forefather of the Fiery Flame Star System, who was famous for his protective nature, would definitely take action.
Thinking of this, Xie Haiyang's eyes immediately brightened. He felt that he had gained something. Although he had to call Wang Baole Martial Uncle from now on, this was the only thing he could do.
Therefore, Xie Haiyang took a deep breath and knelt before his master.
"Thank you for your guidance, Master!"
The Grand Senior Sister looked at Xie Haiyang with a gentle expression. Her eyes were filled with kindness, and she gently patted Xie Haiyang's head. However, she quickly retracted her hand and quietly touched the back of Xie Haiyang's clothes. It was really … the hair gel on Xie Haiyang's head was too heavy. However, there was a gratified expression on her face.
"Good child, go find your Sixteenth Martial Uncle. Remember to cheer him up. If he is happy, your matter … will be a problem?"
"This disciple understands!" Xie Haiyang raised his head and spoke loudly. His eyes shone brightly as he stood up and prepared to leave. However, he had only taken a few steps when his master, who was also Wang Baole's Eldest Senior Sister, couldn't help but speak.
"Yang 'er, in the future, don't use too much hair gel. It will get on Master's hands …"
Xie Haiyang was a little embarrassed when he heard this. He hurriedly nodded and quickly left the tower. Standing outside, he looked at the sky and earth in the distance, the hot wind blowing on his face. He thought back to everything that had happened recently. It felt like a dream.
"Master is right. What's the big deal? Isn't it just calling him Martial Uncle? If I can join the Blazing Flames Lineage, my status in the Xie Family will be different!" After giving himself a constant hypnotic pep talk, Xie Haiyang was in high spirits as he flew towards Wang Baole's pagoda. As he neared, before he even entered the door, Xie Haiyang shouted loudly from outside.
"Junior Xie Haiyang requests an audience with the most handsome man in the Federation, Sixteenth Martial Uncle!"
