Super God Grandmaster

Chapter 29: Chapter 26: Water Curtain Cave Chapter 29: Chapter 26: Water Curtain Cave It was already dark, and Zhan Ze was still pondering, afraid that there might be something overlooked, not completely prepared.

At this moment, someone shouted: “Young Master Ze, your father is here.”

This surprised Zhan Ze greatly, his father rarely visited. He was somewhat astonished, and a bit nervous, seeing his father suddenly showed up tonight.

Su Hong stepped in from outside.

“Father, how come you have time to visit me?” Zhan Ze asked.

Su Hong gave a cold chuckle first, then glanced around. The courtyard had been rearranged, quite different from the last time, after the celebration of Yu Qing’s arrival, it had never been changed back, and then no plans to revert either.

“Don’t you want me to come?” Su Hong counter-questioned.

“How could it be so? I’ve been hoping you would come every day, hoping you could come.”

“So nobody is watching you now, is it right?”

“What are you talking about, who says there’s no one watching over me.”

“What’s the matter with the girl named Lan?”

“Which Miss Lan?” Zhan Ze was stunned momentarily.

“Don’t pretend with me, the girl who got injured by the firecracker.”

“Oh, I’ve also heard about it. They said that Qiao Haoyu has offended too many people and someone set off firecrackers, injuring the girl. However, the person wasn’t caught.”

“Wasn’t it you who injured her?”

“Me, who said that, I dare not.” Zhan Ze replied.

“Wasn’t it you who set the firecracker?”

“Did Qiao Haoyu say that I set off the firecracker? This guy has falsely accused me.”

“Falsely accused you, didn’t you throw the firecracker in his courtyard for Qing’er?”

“No, it must be someone else. Haoyu is always flirting. Someone must have hated Haoyu so deeply and wanted to teach him a lesson, so they threw the firecracker in. Even if you gave me ten times the nerve, I wouldn’t dare to do that. If the firecracker really injured someone severely, I would never live peacefully the rest of my life. I absolutely wouldn’t dare do such a thing.” Muttering to himself, this damn Haoyu is such a snitch; he actually tattled on me for such a minor thing. What a wimp, I definitely can’t admit to this.

“Let me tell you, don’t ever do such a thing. You can play and make noise, but not with firecrackers. It’s not a joking matter. Operating without caution, if it ruins someone’s looks or life, that’s no joking matter.” Su Hong said.

Zhan Ze was continuously nodding his head and said, “Yes, father is right.”

“Play if you want, but there should be bottom lines; without them, it turns dangerous. It was just a lucky escape this time, what about next time?”

“Yes, father’s right, I remembered.”

Knowing the girl wasn’t severely injured, and seeing this side of Zhan Ze, Su Hong interrogation was over for now. He had said what he wanted and had to say, and then he asked, “How’s your recent training with He Weng?”

“Same old, just the basics.”

“What about Ye Chen?”

“Ye Chen, as he just arrived and was quite raw as he hadn’t practiced much in the countryside, he has to start anew everything. Learning the horse stance, standing stance, getting the foundation right. Elder He said, he’ll spend one month to solidify the base, then he will learn internal power and sword control with me and also beast control.”

Su Hong nodded upon hearing this and said, “If there’s anything you can help him with, be more supportive.”

“Don’t worry, even if you hadn’t mentioned it, I’d have offered my help. We’re great buddies now.”

“So quickly made buddies?”

“It’s merely mutual learning and helping.”

“You mustn’t lead him astray.”

“Hehe, normally parents are afraid that their own children would lead others astray, but you, father, are the opposite; afraid that your own son would be led astray by others.”

“I know what my own kid is made of.”

“Father, how could you say that about your own son?”

“Hehe, if you don’t want me to say this about you, do something proper and appropriate, and surprise me positively. Don’t keep causing me trouble.”

After hearing this, Zhan Ze snorted in disagreement.

“The martial arts competition is coming soon. At that time, make me proud for once. Don’t let people keep disparaging me behind my back, and let me see if there’s any improvement in you.”

“Sure, father, this time I will definitely show you my capabilities and let you know how outstanding your son is.”

“Outstanding? I hope you don’t end up at the bottom.”

“Bottom, how could that be, you are underestimating your son!”

Hearing this, Su Hong chuckled coldly and said, “You’re just goofing around, how can I believe in you? If you don’t progress, your mother has said, you’ll have to retreat with me.”

“What? Retreat, No, I don’t want that.”

“What’s wrong with retreating?”

“Hehe, going there, one doesn’t even change clothes for months, it’s like living like a caveman.”

“Hehe, scared even before going.”

“It’s not about being scared; it’s really not fit for humans.”

“If I could do it, why can’t you?”

“For father, who is single-mindedly devoted to martial arts, of course, you can, but I am too young, need more practice.”

“You’re good at making excuses for yourself.”

“Let father enjoy the mountains and rivers over there instead, don’t involve me. I’m not interested in it for now.”

“Not interested, if you keep messing around, you won’t be left with a choice. Even if you don’t want to go, you will have to go”
“Father is really harsh on your son.”

“Harsh, huh?”

Zhan Ze quickly stepped back.

“You should cherish the opportunity to study with He Weng, many people yearn for such an opportunity and don’t get it.”

“Don’t worry, dad, I’ll definitely cherish it.”

“This whole yard is turning into a Water Curtain Cave, even without this transformation, you’re almost like a monkey. And now we even have a Water Curtain Cave.” Su Hong was complaining.

“Isn’t the Water Curtain Cave beautiful?”

“If you create more mess, you don’t need to live here anymore, you might as well just go and live with your mother.”

“No, it’s good living here, didn’t you say that a boy who spends all his time with his parents can’t be independent?”

“If you can’t be independent, you’re like a wild buffalo that’s been let out to grass, needing a rope round your neck. Otherwise, you’ll really become a wild buffalo.” Su Hong continued, “By that time, everything will be managed by your mother, don’t blame me for not warning you in advance, you weigh up the pros and cons yourself.”

Young Master Ze lowered his head.

“Well, I’ve said everything that needed to be said. Show a good performance in the martial arts competition for your mother to see.”

“Don’t worry, son will seize the time to prepare for the martial arts assembly.”

Su Hong soon left.

Young Master Ze was still sweating, he never thought that the coward Qiao Haoyu would tell this to the adults. This wasn’t a childish argument, it was telling the grown-ups – if this wasn’t cowardice, what was it!

Morning fog had just formed, there was only faint light, it was going to get bright soon.

Ye Chen was still sleeping, but was woken up by the people next to the window. They knew which room Ye Chen was staying in, the one outside calling him was Ren Haotian, who shouted, “Hey, hurry up, if you don’t wake up now, we won’t wait for you.”

“I know,” Ye Chen replied.

“We’re going to Shi Zi’s, hurry over.”

Ye Chen responded again and put on the clothes that were prepared the night before.

At that time, his mother just got up.

Ye Chen quickly said goodbye to his mother. Ye Xue nodded.

“I’m leaving, I won’t be back until night.” Ye Chen said.

“Be careful when you’re up in the mountains.”

“I know, I will be careful.” His voice had already disappeared to the back of the door.

He hurried to Jingyue Pavilion.

Ren Haotian was still guarding the door, Yuan Jingxing had already gone inside.

“Where is Jingxing?” Ye Chen asked.

“Inside.”

“Let’s go.” Haotian called out, “Jingxing, we’re waiting for you at the pavilion by the river, get there as soon as you can, understood?”

Jingxing inside responded.

Haotian took Ye Chen and went to Zhan Ze’s house.

Young Master Ze had already woken up, packed all the food to be brought with him into bags.

“Wow, are you planning to have a big feast on the mountain? It’s a lot of food.” Ye Chen was surprised.

“I already did my best to choose some to bring, but it’s still this much.”

“It looks like your cooks are really afraid of starving you.” Ye Chen joked.

Young Master Ze smiled faintly and asked, “Where are they?”

“They’re washing their faces and getting stuff. I told them we’re waiting at the pavilion.” Haotian said.

Zhan Ze glanced outside, the morning fog was heavy today. But the day would get bright exceptionally fast. He shouted, “Hey, put that roast chicken in.”

The housekeeper behind heard and nodded his head.

“Hurry up.” Afraid that the sun would rise early, Ze arranged for Ye Chen to carry two bags, Qiao Haoyu two bags, and he himself took one bag.

Haotian said, “I think we might as well ask a couple of housekeepers to help us carry them up.”

“Hey, hurry up and stop dawdling. Climbing the mountain is exercise in the first place. If you are not even able to carry some stuff, you’ll soon need a cane.”

Haotian was at the front.

Zhan Ze was at the back, heading towards the pavilion, and said, “My dad mentioned last night about Lan’s injury.”

Haotian turned his head back and asked, “Does your dad know?”

“He doesn’t know yet, but I think someone has already spread the news.”

“It must be Qiao Haoyu’s people.”

Zhan Ze nodded and Ye Chen also said, “My mom also knows about this.”

Zhan Ze asked worriedly, “Didn’t your mom beat you again, did she?”

“No, don’t worry, she didn’t hit me, she just suspects me.”

“Well, I will not admit it, that wimp couldn’t catch us anyway. As long as we don’t admit to it, they can’t do anything to us.”

Ye Chen still said, “Setting off firecrackers is indeed dangerous, this time that girl wasn’t badly hurt, but in the future we should be more cautious.” He remembered last night’s incident at the artificial hill.

“What are you saying, it’s just some firecrackers, it’s not as serious as you say it is.” Haotian said.

Ye Chen continued, “It seems like Yu Qing also went to visit that injured girl.”

“Yu Qing went to visit the injured girl, how do you know?” Zhan Ze asked.

Ye Chen replied, “Last night, on the way back from your place, I bumped into her and Luo Rui near the artificial hill. The two of them decided last night to visit that girl.”

“Really! She didn’t tell me.” said Zhan Ze.
