Chapter 94: Dad, Don’t Eat These Dishes
Before Hu Guangyi’s group came, they changed their clothes, washed their faces, and even sprayed on perfume.
After all, they were here to meet a legendary big shot. They could not be sloppy.
When the sun completely set, they arrived at the main hall.
The people from the Flag Mountain Martial Arts Academy were completely hostile towards them.
Hu Guangyi asked a youth, “Where’s your dean?”
The youth ignored him and walked away.
“Heh, you little brat!” The old man with the eyebrow slit looked livid.
Hu Guangyi’s face darkened as he said harshly, “Guangbo, control yourself. Must you embarrass the Crimson Summit?”
Hu Guangbo immediately realized his mistake and immediately restrained himself.
Then, Hu Guangyi asked another young man, “Little brother, where’s your dean?”
This young man answered him.
“The dean is in the inner room.”
“Please inform him that Hu Guangyi of the Crimson Summit Martial Arts Academy wishes to meet him.”
“Alright!” The youth readily agreed.
The youth then found his elder and explained the situation.
…
“Great-grandfather, the people from the Crimson Summit Martial Arts Academy are here,” an old man said.
Gu Hongtao opened the door and asked, “Who is it?”
The old man answered, “It’s Hu Guangyi, Hu Guangbo, and Hu Guangyun.”
“Them?” Gu Hongtao’s face darkened. He was sure that they were here to meet the senior.
“Did they say anything?”
“They said they wanted to see you, great-grandfather.”
“No,” Gu Hongtao replied directly.
The old man was stunned for a moment before saying, “Great-grandfather, that’s not right.”
“There’s nothing not right about it. Anyway, reply to them like that. Don’t say anything else.” Gu Hongtao wore a determined look.
“Yes!”
The old man said nothing more.
Soon, the old man passed the message to Hu Guangyi and company.
“This old fogey!” Hu Guangbo was furious. He wanted to fight them there and then.
Hu Guangyi and Hu Guangyun were very calm, as if they already knew that this would happen.
They both dragged Hu Guangbo out of the main hall.
“Big brother, don’t stop me this time. I must reason with that old man.” Hu Guangbo was extremely angry.
Hu Guangyi sighed and said, “To be honest, I really shouldn’t have brought you. With your irritable personality, how many people would you offend?”
“There’s nothing wrong with my personality. He’s the one who’s wronging us!” Hu Guangbo retorted.
Hu Guangyi could not be bothered to argue. “Then let’s wait outside!”
“Wait for that old man?” Hu Guangbo could not understand.
Hu Guangyun said, “Second Brother, we’re not waiting for Gu Hongtao. We’re waiting for that senior.”
“Why don’t we just go in directly? Must we wait outside?”
“Second Brother, this is their territory. It would be rude for us to go in directly. We’ll leave a bad impression on that senior,” Hu Guangyun explained patiently.
“Then… alright then!” Although Hu Guangbo was impulsive, he could still be reasoned with.
There, the three of them stood outside the main hall like statues.
During this time, someone brought stools, but they did not sit down and continued to stand.
At the same time, Gu Hongtao also heard about what they were doing outside.
He couldn’t chase them away, so he could only silently allow them to do stay.
Time slowly passed.
The main hall was brightly lit, and the table was filled with delicacies. The banquet was ready, and only the guests were missing.
“Great-grandfather, all the dishes have been served.” Someone came over to inform him.
“Sure!”
“Great-grandfather, Hu Guangyi and the other two haven’t left yet.”
“I understand.”
Gu Hongtao said calmly.
He had expected Hu Guangyi to do this, and he could guess their motives too.
He was prepared for anything.
When he returned to the room, he respectfully said to Wang Zhixing, “Senior, the banquet has been prepared. Please take your seat.”
Wang Zhixing sat up. “Alright, let’s go now!”
“Jiajun, remember to bring the cake with you. If you’re hungry, you can eat some of that.”
“…”
The group walked out of the room and arrived at the main hall.
At this moment, the lounge was decorated splendidly. Young men and women played the zither and played music. Young men, strong men, and old men stood up in rows respectfully. Everything looked especially grand.
When Hu Guangyi’s group noticed the commotion, they immediately went to the door.
When they saw the extraordinary aura around Wang Zhixing, all of them were utterly shocked.
“D*mn, his aura massive.” Even Hu Guangyi, who was usually very calm, couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Big brother, the other transcendent realm cultivator we met before was nothing compared to this senior. It’s night and day!” Hu Guangyun said.
Hu Guangyi nodded. “They can’t even compare.”
“And he’s so young. He must have returned to his natural state, closer to his youtth.”
“To think that we would be lucky enough to encounter such a powerful being. I no longer have regrets in this life!”
“Big brother, what are we waiting for?” Hu Guangbo’s gaze was fervent and restless. He wanted to enter immediately.
“Wait!” Hu Guangyi stopped him. “Let’s check our makeup first. We must definitely leave a good impression on our Senior…”
“Brother, I brought perfume. Do you want some?” asked Hu Guangyun.
“Sure!”
“I also have lipstick, do you want me to put some on for you?”
“Sure!”
“Shall I draw on your eyebrows as well?”
“Do it!”
The three of them immediately got busy, just like musical actors backstage.
After a few minutes, they were finally done.
Presently, everyone was seated in the lounge.
Gu Hongtao introduced the dishes on the table.
He was very proud. He said that these dishes were rare even at the most prestigious banquet in the capital.
Wang Zhixing smiled but did not say anything. He let Gu Hongtao go on as he liked.
Wang Jiajun, on the other hand, looked as if he was sitting on the tip of a needle. He had a long face and looked very uncomfortable.
Half of the delicacies on the table came from the country’s rare animals. Any one of them could put them in prison for three to five years.
And there were so many dishes. This case was severe enough to constitute a death sentence.
He even took photos as evidence so that he could convict them later.
Gu Hongtao didn’t mind Wang Jiajun taking photos, so he didn’t stop him.
“Dad, don’t eat these dishes on the table,” Wang Jiajun whispered to Wang Zhixing.
Wang Zhixing asked in confusion, “What’s wrong?”
Wang Jiajun said in a low voice, “These meats come from the country’s rare and protected animals. Eating them is a crime.”
Wang Zhixing could not help but be startled. “We cannot eat them!”
After a while.
“Dad, I just checked online again.”
“What do you find?”
“These vegetables also belong to the country’s rare protected plants.”
“Ah? Then we can’t eat them either.”
“Mm!”
“Then I can only drink soup.”
“No, what if something else is mixed in? Just to be safe, don’t drink the soup too!”
“Alright!” Wang Zhixing sighed helplessly. “I guess I can only drink plain water.”
“We still have cake.” Wang Jiajun patted the box beside his hand meaningfully.
“…”
…
After introducing the dishes, Gu Hongtao picked up his wine glass.
“Senior and Young Master Wang, this is your first time here. I’m sorry for my poor hospitality, please forgive me. I’ll drink this first.”
With that said, he raised his glass to drink.
At that moment, Hu Guangyi and the other two entered with heavy makeup on.
