I am the Young Master - Chapter 133

)

——(POV third person, inside the meeting room)——

Han Junxiong who got blasted in the face got smashed into the chair that he was sitting on. Unsurprisingly, the chair broke into tiny pieces as it was not designed to be subjected to such a power.

Han Junxiong got up and dusted off his robes as he scratched the back of his head.

“Ahaha, sister-in-law how about w—” Han Junxiong tried to say something but Peng Borong didn’t give him the chance to do so. Last time she blasted him in the face but this time she smashed him to the floor as she was still angry that he dared to hide Han Junhui’s return from her.

Li Huang was baffled by how thick-skinned Han Junxiong was. Even Cai ZhenKang would stop speaking after the initial failure so he couldn’t understand why Han Junxiong decided that it was wise to talk when these two love birds were having their moment.

To Han Junxiong’s credit, he didn’t even activate the might of his body cultivation to stop these attacks as he knew that if he were to put up a defense against them, it is like challenging Peng Borong and heaven knows that he doesn’t want that. If that were to happen he wouldn’t lose in a couple of moves, but the sect’s tent would be razed to the ground and they would have no face left in front of other holy lands.

All these years that Peng Borong has trained to attack the [Eternal wail trial] and free Han Junhui was not for naught as she is now one of the strongest martial art masters of the Sky Pillar sect.

What Li Huang didn’t know was that Han Junxiong was letting Peng Borong attack him like this, so that she may calm down as he knew he was at fault here. He was so surprised when he saw Han Junhui’s body that he forgot about everything else and just wanted to have a moment with his brother’s corpse, but when he found the soul cage everything changed and he knew that there is now a chance that his brother could come back.

This was when he consciously choose to keep Peng Borong in dark until they could make sure that his brother is fine. If he were to contact her and his brother has gone crazy or worst in that soul cage, it would be too much for Peng Borong to handle and he couldn’t bear to give her hope just to crush it the next instant. He could handle Peng Borong’s anger at him but he couldn’t let that to be her last interaction with his brother, he just couldn’t.

“I can expla—” Han Junxiong tried to say but the thrashing continued for a couple of more blows. Han Junhui too understood why his brother didn’t call for her now and he couldn’t agree more with him as the last thing he wanted was to cause her more pain. Even Li Huang who didn’t know the context enough to come up with a concrete conclusion guessed Han Junxiong’s reasonings and he was stunned by how thoughtful he was.

“Han Junxiong, you and I are not done yet.” Peng Borong said as she didn’t want to waste time on Han Junxiong when she had Han Junhui in her arms.

When this wholesome situation was happening inside the room, outside of the room was anything but wholesome.

——(moments ago, outside of the meeting room)——

The elders outside of the room who heard these sounds thought that Li Huang has been thrown like a rag doll. They shuddered at the thought but couldn’t do anything but wait for their patriarch to allow them to enter the room. All these elders were inner or core elders so they couldn’t barge in the room like how a grand elder could. What they could do was to think of something for handling this situation as this would not be a common issue.

The more thoughtful ones in them already contacted the grand elders of the sect about this and requested their assistance in this matter, because even if they wanted they could not do anything in front of the patriarch’s power as they knew they would not fare better than Li Huang in a fight with him.

They were waiting for the grand elders to come before the Heavenly sword sect get’s a wind of this and attack the tent. At least they were sure that their patriarch wouldn’t harm Li Huang severely so this situation was still salvageable.

On the other hand, Zheng Jingyi lost all color on his face as he heard the sound of something getting torn to pieces in the meeting room. He was the one who guided Li Huang here and introduced him to his master, and Li Huang was the one that helped everyone in the trial to get out of there alive so he owed him more than he could pay back but alas, he was powerless in this situation. Although he wanted to rush into the meeting room and beg his master for forgiveness he knew that this wouldn’t work as he knew his master better and doing so would only fuel his anger. He was conflicted on what to do as on one hand there was a chance that he could stop his master and on the other hand, he might make the situation worse.

His hands were clenched into fists and his nails were digging into his skin. Gathering his resolve he rushed toward the room as he couldn’t look at Li Huang’s face if he were to wait here without doing anything.

The elders who saw this tried to stop him but as they were waiting in a distance, they couldn’t stop him in time and he entered the meeting room unceremoniously.

——(moments ago, inside the Sky Pillar sect)——

Inside the sect, a couple of grand elders who received the message about what Han Junxiong was doing went toward the previous sect’s patriarch’s tent, Han Caiyi, father of Han twins.

This situation was something that needed him to interfere. As he was from the same generation as Li Long, when they have to talk to the other party it is better for a familiar face to be there and Han Caiyi would be that face in this case.

The moment the grand elders saw Han Caiyi, one of them sent a sound transmission to him to explain the situation and Han Caiyi was frowning the next second.

“That brat! He still acts like a street thug.” Han Caiyi said as he was rushing toward the teleportation formation. The other grand elders were also following him so that maybe they could also help de-escalate the situation.

If Han Junxiong were to know that what kind of misunderstanding he created by focusing on Peng Borong, he would bash his head to the wall. He was thinking so much about how to calm Peng Borong that he forgot that the elders outside would have a misunderstanding about this situation because no one saw Peng Borong get into the room as she teleported there directly.

Well, he would come to know that but he wouldn’t be the one to bash his head to the wall as this role will be filled by someone else.

Han Caiyi didn’t waste time and entered the teleportation formation and teleported to the meeting room of their sect in the eternal wail chasm.

——(inside the meeting room)——

The moment that Zheng Jingyi entered the room he started shouting to his master, as he didn’t know how much time he had before the elders start dragging him out of the room.

“Master, please stop! This is…” Zheng Jingyi shouted but stopped mid-sentence as he didn’t know what to say. It wasn’t his master that was beating Li Huang, Li Huang was standing still and it was the grand elder Peng who was beating his master while she was hugging someone.

This was too much for him to process. Shouldn’t Li Huang be in a problem because of what he said?  Then why is grand elder Peng hitting the patriarch? Also, who is that person in her arms?

Before his mind could explode from the sheer absurdity of the situation, a new group entered the room via teleportation.

Peng Borong wasn’t hugging Han Junhui anymore as she didn’t want to be this open in front of this many people. It was just now that she saw Li Huang who was just standing there without moving. Li Huang cupped his fists to her when they made eye contact and Peng Borong absentmindedly nodded to him.

It was then that Han Caiyi appeared in the room with other grand elders.

“Junxiong! Why are you always creating problems?” Han Caiyi said as he looked at his son.
