Chapter 110: 110: Cruise Ship Party (4)

Upper Deck of the Cruise Ship

Yue Xuexia, upon being spotted by Elder Tian, was invited by the kind old man to join him on the upper deck of the ship. The upper decks are a special viewing venue where one can enjoy privacy and even do some fishing. When Yue Xuexia and Taiyang reached the deck, they saw a group of five old men with similar gray hair. Some were wearing Chinese tang suits, like Elder Tian. The other is wearing a military uniform. Some wore old suits from their generation, and the others were not much different themselves.

Two of the five elders were holding their fishing rods. The other three include Elder Tian, who is playing go while having tea with one of the Elders. The other one is watching the pair play. As soon as Yue Xuexia and Taiyang arrived at the scene. The five elders turned their heads and looked at them.

Elder Tian happily welcomed his guest, saying, "Xiao Xue, you've come. Also, the young man, welcome."

"This junior, Yue Xuexia, greets all the five seniors!" Yue Xuexia clasped her hand in front of her and lightly lowered her head in greeting. She treated all five seniors equally, as they are friends of Grandpa Tian, whom she is acquainted with.

Yue Xuexia remained calm and politely greeted the elders, while the young man remained expressionless, standing beside the polite young lady and turning blind to them and everything around him. They had only seen this kind of demeanor towards those cultivators from another realm. So, the five elders, especially Long Juedi, who was mixing within the scene, chose to quietly observe the young man.

At this moment, Taiyang is calm and looks relaxed. Though he didn't acknowledge their presence, the other seniors were not offended as they heard from their friend, Long Juedi, what kind of person this young man is. He might look amiable, but when he made his move, it was extremely cruel and merciless. They had eaten more salt than the others and chose not to offend such a devil.

Thus, they all focus their eyes on the young girl, who politely greets them as elders when it comes to age. They look at the young girl, whose appearance is beyond this world and could cause calamities anywhere. Thankfully, they have already passed their prime and have much more experience than the brats below the deck. They returned the greeting of the young lady.

"Greetings, Young Lady Yue."

"We have heard a lot about you from Lao Tian and Lao Long here!"

"Come sit with us, Xiao Xue. You can ignore your Grandpa Long. He came here uninvited," said Elder Tian.

Elder Long pouted, but he didn't openly complain, as he could still feel the cold gaze of Taiyang that suddenly fell on him the moment he recognized him. He can feel a chill on his spine, especially when he meets those icy eyes. He instinctively swallowed as he tried to calm his erratically fast heartbeat.

"Xiao Xue. This old man is wrong. I apologize for everything. I hope you accept my apology, but this is still your choice. I promise what happened before shall never happen for a second time."

Long Juedi, who was determined to apologize for what happened, finally lowered his head before Yue Xuexia. This is because he knew that he was wrong about what happened that night. The words he had spouted cannot be taken back, but a proper apology must be said, even if it was a bit late.

As soon as Long Juedi lowered his head before the little girl, his peers were rendered speechless, except Elder Tian, who had long expected this. He allowed Long Juedi to join this charity party and gain the opportunity to meet Yue Xuexia in exchange for him apologizing to Yue Xuexia in public.

"I accept your apology, Grandpa Long."

This time, Yue Xuexia looked at the lowered head of the old man who had protected the country for years. She only sighed and was about to help him up when Taiyang suddenly spoke up.

"There shall be no second time. Because if that happens again, your life shall end as it is under my hands." His words were cold and full of threats, but these words gave Long Juedi relief as if the mountain on his back was finally taken away.

The other seniors frowned, but they didn't speak up when they saw Long Juedi, who sighed in relief. He even looked in the young man's direction and nodded his head in agreement with the words Taiyang had just spoken. The young man didn't return his nod and instead looked at the young lady who had sat with these seniors.

Taiyang said, "Xue'er, you can enjoy yourself. I will come pick you up after you finish your business with them."

Among the five seniors is cultivator Ling Wen, who hasn't spoken a word since Yue Xuexia and Taiyang appeared on the upper deck of the ship. First, he had no face to see the young lady, and second, he was afraid that he would also offend this big shot and lose his life.

Yue Xuexia didn't mind Taiyang leaving, as she knew that he would most likely head to the banquet in the main ground area of the ship to eat as much as he wanted. "Okay. Enjoy yourself as well, Yangyang."

Taiyang, before taking his leave, glanced at Ling Wen and said, "If something happens to Xue'er, the consequences will fall on you."

After saying these words, Ling Wen bowed his head, and everyone watched as Taiyang disappeared on the spot, leaving them dumbfounded. Silence temporarily fell in the area, and only the sounds of the boisterous on the lower deck and the sound of the waves lingered in their ears.

Only when Butler Cui had arrived drinking that spiritual tea had Yue Xuexia asked to be served that these old men's tension eased a little bit, especially when the scent of that relaxing tea could penetrate the ailments on their bodies, and they all sighed at the good effects this tea could provide them.

As close friends of Long Juedi and Tian Qiuji, they knew the existence of spiritual tea. This is a special tea leaf made from immortal herbs. It enhanced qi in their bodies, which not only healed their illness but also strengthened their bodies. Yue Xuexia gifted these tea leaves to Elder Tian and Elder Long, which Elder Ling Wen and the other two seniors had tried before as well.

So, when that familiar, refreshing scent of the spiritual tea was served, their eyes all showed delight. One of the two unnamed elders even exclaimed.

"Spiritual Tea! Yatou (little girl), is it something you brought?" an old man in military uniform exclaimed.

"Yes. Please enjoy. There should be enough for seniors to have tonight," responded Yue Xuexia.

"Xiao Yue, this old man is called Fu Renzen. You may call me Grandpa Fu. I may not be as powerful as Old Tian and Old Long, but if you have some problems in the south, you can come and find me. So, can you give this old man that tea?"

"Old Fu, you thick-skinned old bastard, how could you jump ahead of this old man? Yatou, you can call me Grandpa Lu. The name is Xingen. I'm an old general who is still on duty. I can send military help with you anytime without going through Lao Long next time. I'm also the one who sent those men to clean up the Xu Clan for you. I wouldn't hate it if you gave me a can of this good tea."

Elder Tian, Elder Long, and even Cultivator Ling Wen felt embarrassed by these two shameless old men. They could only cover their faces as they didn't want to tell others that these two embarrassing old men were their peers.

Yue Xuexia didn't mind and only felt that these old men were acting cute. She laughed with them and said, "Of course. I will definitely send the seniors these gifts. I will ask Yangyang to send some to each grandpa as a greeting gift."

"Haha~ this Yatou is a good girl. Don't worry. When you visit the mainland, this Grandpa Lu will be your biggest backer," said Old General Lu.

Grandpa Fu said, "Don't believe that muscle-brain old brat. He is forgetful and annoying. Just don't forget to visit this old man when you go to the south in the future."

"Who are you calling a muscle-brained old brat!? You scholar men who are all thin with only bones left on you!" retorted Grandpa Lu.

"Who are you calling thin and all bones!?" retorted Grandpa Fu.

Grandpa Lu said, "It's you. You. You!!"

SIGHS

Just as the two began a childish brawl, the other three pulled Yue Xuexia to play with them. After all, it would take a long before those two idiots stopped fighting. All of a sudden, Butler Cui approached the young lady.

"Young Mistress Yue, there is a young man called Zen Fanyu below saying he knows about you," said Butler Cui.

On the other hand, Yue Xuexia looked confused for a moment as she couldn't recall who this man called Zen Fanyu. A bewildered look appeared on her face, and she said, "I'm sorry, Grandpa Cui. But I don't know anyone named Zen Fanyu. Maybe he mistook me for someone else."

Upon seeing the clear confused look on the young lady, Butler Cui also thinks that the young man must have known Young Mistress Yue one-sidedly, or like those other opportunists, they wanted to fake their relationship with someone as amazing as Miss Yue and approach her in such a way.

Butler Cui responded, "Young Mistress Yue, this is my mistake. I promise I will send this stranger away."

"Old Cui, next time don't easily believe the words of youngsters, especially men looking at women like Xiao Xue," Elder Tian said.

Butler Cui's face turned a bit pale for a moment, and he bowed his head to his old master. "Yes, Master!"

"I don't mind, Grandpa Cui. Thanks for the hard world," said Yue Xuexia.

Butler Cui smiled and said, "It's nothing, Young Mistress Yue. Please excuse me for a moment."

As he went down to once again meet the young man who almost embarrassed him in front of his master, his former friendly demeanor from before was completely gone, especially after meeting Zen Fanyu for the second time.

On the other hand, Zen Fanyu is still anticipating his reunion with Yue Xuexia. When he saw the old butler from before and saw no one on his back, he frowned with disappointment.

"Sir, where is Xuexue?"

Butler Cui's face turned dark when he heard that intimate nickname, which made him mistake this young man for an acquaintance of the young mistress when he was not. He is more annoyed now than when he thought that Zen Fanyu was still acting when he was already busted.

"Young man, the young mistress said she doesn't know anyone with your name. You made me lose face in front of my master, the other seniors, and the young mistress! Guards, drag this man away. He is forbidden from approaching this place. Hmp!"

The guards looked at each other and took a step forward, grabbing each arm of Zen Fanyu. They forcibly pulled the young man away, as they could feel the anger of the elite butler. It was obvious to them that this young man was trying to gain an opportunity to meet his Young Mistress Yue Xuexia. After all, what kind of man would be able to ignore such a goddess?

"Please wait! There must be some kind of mistake. I truly know Xuexue!" Zen Fanyu was stunned, as he didn't believe that this was the result he would get.
