I am the Young Master - Chapter 135

)

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

Han Junhui put a hand in his pocket and retrieved a storage ring and handed it to Li Huang. Li Huang looked at him and waited for his explanation as he didn’t know why he gave him this storage ring all of a sudden.

“This storage ring contains everything that I have gathered in that space and as you have completed the test, that makes you the rightful owner of it.” Han Junhui said as he could see that Li Huang had some questions about this.

“I will always be in your debt. You could have left my body there but you didn’t, and I got the chance to see everyone again…” Han Junhui said as he looked at his father, mother, brother, Borong, and others.

Li Huang talked to him a little more but let him get back and talk to his family as he had a lot to catch up on, after all, he wasn’t here for years and everyone would have a story or two to say.

Saying his goodbyes, Li Huang left the Sky Pillar sect’s tent with the storage ring that Han Junhui gave him. His new ‘uncle’ told him that he has to come and see them every once in a while and told him that he would send him the invitation for the wedding that would be on the way. Han Junxiong too told him that he can come to him if he needed anything as they are now brothers. Even Peng Borong came forward and thanked him personally and said that he can count on her if he needed any help as one would count on their bigger siblings.

Li Huang thanked them all but he was confused with all the brother, sister, and uncle that he gained in a day. Nonetheless, he was happy for the Han family and most importantly for Han Junhui as he didn’t expect that he would be alive after all these years.

On the way out, he also talked a little with Zheng Jingyi. They gave each other contact formations so that they can talk later if they wanted to.

With a calm mind, he got out of the Sky Pillar’s tent and walked as he took a deep breath.

‘Ahh, life can be really nice sometimes…’ He thought to himself as he was in a good mood after seeing the family interactions between Han Junxiong and others.

He had his eyes closed and thought that maybe that person wouldn’t come toward him but he was wrong. Not only did he come toward him he also started shaking him to garner his attention.

“Huang, we are going to die! Open your eyes!” Cai ZhenKang shouted at Li Huang as the situation was really urgent in his eyes.

Li Huang didn’t open his eyes as he didn’t want to get himself into a new drama and he knew that Cai ZhenKang had the tendency to over-exaggerate.

Unfortunately, this technique didn’t work as Cai ZhenKang continued shaking him.

“Come on ZhenKang! I’m sure that whatever it is, it is not as bad as you think…” Li Huang said as he decided to at least say something that may put Cai ZhenKang at ease.

Hearing this Cai ZhenKang stopped shaking Li Huang as he understood that Li Huang must have thought that he is going to tell him something stupid, so he cut the chase and told him the problem.

“I saw my master and your master talking and laughing with each other.” Cai ZhenKang said and Li Huang couldn’t say that he wasn’t shocked by this and his eyebrow even rose a little.

‘These two would not interact that much but it wasn’t weird that they would be happy in private.’ Li Huang thought.

“In public.” Cai ZhenKang said. His words stunned Li Huang and he opened his eyes suddenly.

It was an open secret that Heavenly Sword sect and Blue Bulls sect didn’t have a good relationship and they were always on the brink of war for the past hundreds of years, so seeing the leaders of these sects talking happily in public could not be a good sign for Li Huang and Cai ZhenKang.

Yes, this couldn’t be a good sign for them because their masters were rivals back in the day. There are even stories about them where they fought for days only for the fight to finish in a draw as they both passed out while standing. Sometimes they would injure each other but no one would willing to accept defeat and as they couldn’t kill each other they would pass out because of blood loss and sometimes it was because of the fatigue that they would lose consciousness.

Hao Changyin, sect master of the Blue Bulls sect, and Cai ZhenKang’s master was such an individual and when he and Li Long were laughing together this couldn’t be anything pleasant to their disciples, Li Huang and Cai ZhenKang.

“But why would they?” Li Huang asked no one in particular. He was thinking what could be their reason to be so immersed in their thoughts that they didn’t even care about showing their emotions in public.

It was at that moment that Li Huang remembered something.

“…Than I will give you the best training so that you can get stronger in the shortest time possible…” these words of his grandfather played back on his mind, and he didn’t want to accept that this was the plan that he came up with.

“He did not…” Li Huang said and Cai ZhenKang who saw Li Huang’s face lost all hope, as he knew that this has to have something with his being on friendly terms with Li Huang.

“W—What is it?” Cai ZhenKang asked hesitantly. He wasn’t sure if he wanted to know what Li Huang had figured out but he asked anyway…

“I think we are going to train together…” Li Huang said and Cai ZhenKang just looked at him weirdly. He wanted to ask what is so disheartening about training but a sound made them both turn toward it.

“Good thing that you are here!” Li Long said as he came closer to the duo.

Li Huang couldn’t believe that his grandpa choose this method to train him. He could guess what is going on but he let grandpa Long explain it himself.

Cai ZhenKang didn’t know if he should stay or leave, but he cupped his fists so that he doesn’t come off as rude. He thought he could always leave after a simple greeting, right?

…How wrong he was.

“I heard from Han Ciayi that you have found his son’s body and he is somehow alive. You have done well.” Li Long said to Li Huang after he nodded at Cai ZhenKang. He didn’t get the details but he knew that much and that was how he knew Li Huang should be here.

“Yes, I will give you the details later grandfather.” Li Huang said. He knew that his grandpa wanted to train him so he didn’t appreciate him going off-topic like this.

Li Long too understood this and didn’t beat around the bush anymore.

“Good. For now, you two are going to get trained by me.” Li Long said with an amiable smile on his face.

‘This is why they say appearances can be deceiving’ Li Huang thought as he was now sure that Li Long and Hao Changyin were laughing together as they planned to train them.

Cai ZhenKang was confused and didn’t know how Li Huang could see this coming so he asked directly.

“…But, my master…” He wanted to say something but he stopped, as he now understood why his master was laughing and he shuddered.

“Don’t worry, me and your master have already talked with each other so you have nothing to worry about.” Li Long said as he looked at Cai ZhenKang.

Seeing that they both were silent, Li Long decided to continue speaking.

“For the next six months, you two will be trained by me and sect master Hao Changyin.” Li Long said and looked at both of them. Li Huang who was looking for training was not worried at all as he got what he asked for but Cai ZhenKang felt like his knees would give out any minute now.

“The first three months I will be training you, and the next three months would be done by sect master Hao Changyin. Any questions?” Li Long said and asked.

“When do we start?” Li Huang asked. Now that he can be trained by not only one but two of the legendary figures in the divine central continent, he wanted to maximize his gains.

…Of course, the inevitable fight with grand elder Su Zhi helped in his resolve too.
