The Supreme Lord Donghuang - Chapter 70

Chapter 70: Call Second Master Here

“Aunt, this is the one who threw me out just now,” Lian Ping told the well-dressed, elegant lady beside him as he stared coldly at Fu.

The lady glanced past Fu and stared at Zhou Donghuang, a hint of a smile appearing on her face. “I am the lady boss of Liuxiang Restaurant, Lian Feng. How may I address you?”

At first, knowing that this young man’s servant who was not even twenty years old could defeat her nephew, she had guessed that this was no simple young man. Now, as she saw him in the flesh, the young man seemed to display some extraordinary aura that made her feel that this man must have some prestigious background. Hence, she was very cautious and courteous with her words.

“Zhou Donghuang.” Zhou Donghuang rose slowly, threw a glance at Lian Feng, then looked back down at the dishes on the table. The whole time, he looked extremely calm, as if there was not a tinge of surprise.

“So it is Young Master Donghuang.” Lian Feng’s smile widened as she said, “But Young Master Donghuang, where do you come from?”

At the same time, Lian Feng was racking her brains to think of any Zhou families in the country of Yunyang, but after thinking for a while, she could not recall any families named Zhou… from the imperial court to the preeminent families, none of them were named Zhou.

“Yunfeng prefecture,” responded Zhou Donghuang, without even raising his head.

With that, he called Fu, “Fu, quickly finish your food, we’ll leave once we’re done.”

“Yes, Young Master,” replied Fu as he ducked back into the food.

Zhou Donghuang and Fu, master and servant, ate the food ravenously as if there was nobody else, completely ignoring Lian Feng, Lian Ping and the rest.

“Yunfeng prefecture?” Lian Feng frowned. Wasn’t that an inferior prefecture? Her eldest nephew, which was the first young master of the Wu governor’s household, Wu Nanxun, had married a lady from a preeminent family in Yunfeng prefecture as a concubine. To her, Yunfeng prefecture was an insignificant place where even birds would not lay an egg. Even the governor of Yunfeng prefecture had to be respectful to her.

“Young Master Donghuang, you must have passed by Yunfeng prefecture on your way to Guangling prefecture. Someone like you does not look like you grew up in that inferior prefecture,” Lian Feng probed as she smiled. She was a patient person.

“What? Are you looking down on us from Yunfeng prefecture?” Zhou Donghuang was finally full. He put his chopsticks down, raised his head and looked playfully at Lian Feng.

“You really are from Yunfeng?” asked Lian Feng. She froze as she stared unblinkingly at Zhou Donghuang. Up till now, she did not dare to believe that this young man could have come from a small place like Yunfeng prefecture.

“No doubt about it,” replied Zhou Donghuang.

“Aunt, you’re being too careful… someone from an inferior prefecture, even if there is a strong servant beside him, what kind of background could he possibly have?” Hearing that Zhou Donghuang was from Yunfeng prefecture, Lian Ping’s gaze turned icy cold. Now, hearing his response to Lian Feng, Lian Ping could not help but stand up and tell her, “Aunt, just now, he allowed his evil servant to throw me out of this booth… You must stand up for me!!” He cried angrily as he stared at Lian Feng with fiery eyes.

At the same time, Lian Feng’s face also turned stone cold. “This guest, you ate at my Liuxiang Restaurant, but insulted my nephew… don’t you owe me an explanation?” After getting Zhou Donghuang’s confirmation twice and verified that he was indeed from Yunfeng prefecture, Lian Feng also did not think that he could possibly have any surprising background… Just as her nephew had said, what kind of background could someone from an inferior prefecture have? Hence, she had nothing to fear. In fact, she even felt that being so respectful to someone from an inferior prefecture was simply beneath her status. The more she thought of how she had just acted, the more disgusted and furious she was at herself. Thus, upon hearing Lian Ping’s words, Lian Feng’s expression changed completely.

“Owe you an explanation?” Zhou Donghuang looked at Lian Feng with a curious look on his face and laughed. “Why don’t you ask me why I asked Fu to throw your nephew out?”

Lian Feng laughed coldly. “I, Lian Feng, am the lady boss of this restaurant. Of course, my nephew has priority to use the heavenly dining booth… since the dishes were not served yet, you should have given up the booth when he asked you to. In fact… with just a call from me, I can blacklist you and bar you from ever coming back to Liuxiang Restaurant!” said Lian Feng in a low voice.

“Your husband is Wu Jingtao?” asked Zhou Donghuang suddenly.

“That’s right!” answered Lian Feng as she nodded. “My husband is not only the owner of this restaurant, but also the second master of the Wu governor’s family, and a level-six adept… Today, if he was here, you wouldn’t be walking out alive!” As she spoke, a menacing glint flashed across her eyes as she looked at Zhou Donghuang.

“Really?” responded Zhou Donghuang with a smile. “That Wu Jingtao is so bold? I couldn’t tell.”

“You know my husband?” Lian Feng frowned.

“I wouldn’t say ‘know’, but we’ve met,” replied Zhou Donghuang calmly.

“Aunt.” Just then, Lian Ping spoke up, “Don’t forget I told you just now… his evil servant boasted to me that even if Uncle was here, he would not dare to misbehave in front of his young master.”

“I forgot about that.” Lian Feng then remembered what Lian Ping had told her. Immediately, a layer of ice seemed to freeze over her face. “You hurt my nephew in my restaurant and even disrespected my family’s second master and the boss of this restaurant. Today, if you and your servant don’t leave something behind, don’t even think of leaving!” Lian Feng’s eyes flashed with fury.

“Oh?” Zhou Donghuang’s eyes shone. “So what… would you like us to leave?”

Before Lian Feng could answer, Lian Ping jumped in and said coldly, “Leave a leg behind!”

“Is that what you mean too?” Zhou Donghuang’s eyes narrowed sharply, his tone turning cold as he looked calmly at Lian Feng.

Lian Feng’s eyes flashed. “That is exactly what I meant!” With that, Lian Feng ordered, “Wu Gan, break off one of their legs and then throw them out of the restaurant!”

“Yes, ma’am.” The man behind Lian Feng was none other than Wu Gan, the disciple whom Wu Jingtao had sent to protect her. Wu Gan then turned and looked sharply at Zhou Donghuang and Fu. He walked forward towards them quickly.

“Fu.” Before Wu Gan did anything, Zhou Donghuang could tell that he was of decent power, but had not entered level-five of the gathered qi. Such an opponent would be good training for Fu. Although Fu was powerful, he lacked real fighting experience and needed more sparring practice. This Wu Gan would be a good test for him.

Ho! Instantly, Fu rose to his feet and advanced towards Wu Gan using Star-Stepping Footwork. Although his movements seemed more unfamiliar than what Zhou Donghuang exhibited, his speed was not slower than that of his opponent’s lesser-grade swiftness technique.

In a moment, the two reached each other and began their battle. At the beginning, Fu was being overpowered by Wu Gan, but soon, Fu turned the tables and completely subdued his opponent.

This sight alarmed Lian Feng and the rest. Wu Gan was not just any level-four adept but was the supreme level-four adept in the Wu family. That was why he had been sent to protect Lian Feng.

Bang!! In another few moments, Fu, who had become very well-versed in the Star-Stepping Footwork and the Weighted Sand Palm, drifted in a flash and landed his palm on Wu Gan’s chest, pushing him backward and defeating him.

“Ma’am, I can’t fight him,” Wu Gan told Lian Feng with a bitter smile as fresh blood spilled from his mouth.

“I can see that.” Lian Feng’s expression was extremely dark as she turned to the maid and said, “You, go back to the household and call Second Master here!”

After the maid had left, Lian Feng looked at Zhou Donghuang and Fu coldly. “The two of you don’t even think of escaping now… Even if you leave Liuxiang Restaurant or even Guangling prefecture, you won’t be able to escape from the clutches of our Wu family. Our Wu family is the governor of Guangling prefecture!”

“Young Master,” Fu ignored Lian Feng and asked Zhou Donghuang politely. “Now that we’re done eating… should we leave now or later?”

“Let’s leave later,” replied Zhou Donghuang. Now, he was in no hurry to leave. He wanted to see what Lian Feng’s husband, the second master of the Wu governor’s household, Wu Jingtao, had to say about this. Furthermore, seeing Fu defeat Wu Gan made him think of a task that he could get Wu Jingtao to do.

“At least you know your place!” Seeing that Zhou Donghuang had no intention of leaving, Lian Ping said with an evil laugh. “If you don’t escape, you’ll only leave a leg behind… But if you do, once this matter blows up and the governor sends his troops after you, you will both be dead!”
