Bab 150: Chapter 149
"Oh. My. Sea God." Zhen Hua buried his face into his hands. He was embarrassed beyond that one time he was caught spying on his junior sister in the past.
That was probably one of the reasons why she chose Mu Chen instead of him.
They were in his office, him sitting in one of his comfy and expensive blue leather couch while on the opposite sitting on his other couch were Xiu Ye and his friends; awkwardly enjoying their beverages and pastries in silence.
All except for an old man wearing a chef's uniform, with a thick black with some grey hair goatee beard, laughing out boisterously like he was busting out his gut.
"Hahahahaha! Zhen Hua! Old Zhen, out of all the–hahaha! Out of all the stupidest situations you've been through, this one ranks in your top three-hehehe!"
Zhen Hua angrily glared at the old chef, stood up, flipped the bird at him and said.
"Shut up, old Mu! Don't go telling me off like you're any better! If I recall, there was that incident almost a century ago that involved you almost getting into the wanted list of the Federation–"
'That doesn't sound embarrassing.' Xiu Ye, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Gu Yue, Xu Xiaoyan, Ye Xinglan, Xu Lizhi and Wu Siduo simultaneously sipped their respective drinks.
"–by seducing the wife of a former War God with a banquet full of meals that had your literal blood, sweat, tears and...jizz." His face twisted into a utter disgust.
Pfffffffft–!?
Xiu Ye, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Gu Yue, Xu Xiaoyan, Ye Xinglan, Xu Lizhi and Wu Siduo all simultaneously did a spit take and turned to stare at the old chef with 'wtf?!' faces.
They could understand a man trying their best to court a woman they love and but to go that far? No. Just, no.
Old Mu, or otherwise known as Mu Ye, had his face completely red in rage and embarrassment. His disappeared from his spot, went behind Zhen Hua and had his arms chokehold the latter.
"You fucker! You promised you wouldn't mentioned that anymore!"
"Kak–yeah but you went and made fun of–kak! Me! You shit!"
Expectedly, they went and started beating each other up.
'W-Why are they going at it like children?' Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Gu Yue, Xu Xiaoyan, Ye Xinglan, Xu Lizhi and Wu Siduo watched at the two grown old men. One is renown in the entire world as the only Divine Blacksmith while the other was a mysterious chef that should be well known as the former hired him as both his personal chef and his bodyguard, and is able to easily bruise the Title Douluo blacksmith's face.
They were great powerhouses, yet, they're currently acting like children...
'This kind of mood...'
'Its hard to start a conversation.'
'Something's wrong.' Tang Wulin narrowed his eyes as Zhen Hua and Mu Ye continued on punching each other's faces, both ending up rolling around on the floor now.
Although he could understand the moments of when friends would start beating each other up for reasons being the power of friendship, but both Zhen Hua and Mu Ye were respectable and dignified men that would cut their own fingers than show such unsightly scene to young and easily impressionable children.
So why are they acting like this...? What if...
Tang Wulin spared a glance towards his cousin, who looked to be acting as if everything was normal and was enjoying his green tea.
'This strange behavior between uncle master and chef Mu... might have something to do with Ye!'
In the first place, this entire thing started because of him! Actually, why in the hell did he do that anyway?! Just because he yelled out...
Tang Wulin's face twitched.
Actually, thinking about it again, it really was a bad idea saying that out loud when he thinks about it.
He only said that because he was pissed to hear from his uncle master that the Federation is slowly starting a world war between the other continents in the world, it was something he did not like at all. He's been through a Unholy War between good and evil when he was just 11, the trauma he got was enough for one lifetime.
War, what is it good for?
While Tang Wulin was lost in thought, and Xie Xie and the rest staring confused at the still brawling old men.
'...Ye, what the hell is going on?' Ryūjin Jakka spoke through their mental link, his voice was that of a man that had witnessed something impossible and was having a hard time believing it.
'...Honestly? No clue.' Xiu Ye's face was blank.
How did making Tang Wulin avoid the claws of hiding paparazzi, reporters and journalists around the area to having Zhen Hua misunderstand his handling of his cousin and...this?! Just how?!
Xiu Ye groaned and pressed the bridge of his nose. 'Sure I wanted to get Zhen Hua's attention, cause I need to 'make a great impression' from what uncle Mu Chen said to me once when I one day encounter my uncle master in Heaven Dou City. I did make an impression, but not one that I had intended or wanted.'
He, and everyone who knew Zhen Hua and Mu Ye, know the full extent of the two's relationship. Sure for a few years they started as just an employee and employer relationship but as the years flew by even more, they became close friends and then as blood brothers.
Pride, dignity, ego, those wouldn't matter in the relationship between two brothers, siblings or in general–family. Because the most important thing in life will always be family.
He let out a exasperated sigh, eyes went lidded as the two old men now ended up in the bathroom before breaking through the wall and now crushing the couch in front of them.
Even when said family is choking the life out of you...
"Ahem." Xiu Ye cleared his throat, making Mu Ye stop strangling a now blue faced Zhen Hua.
"Uncle master, I'm sorry if I'm disrupting... whatever it is you two are doing. But I'd like to talk to you about something important."
Zhen Hua raised an eyebrow, acting normal despite having two large hands holding his throat like a vice, and spoke. "Oh? And whatever might it be?"
"It's about Shrek's annual final semester exam."
"Well, sure. I already helped little Wulin there–"
Xiu Ye cut him off. "No, that match had turned invalid due to a certain incident. Now the exam has changed, and I need your help with it."
"Uncle master, are you willing to borrow your body to the academy temporarily?" The corner of his lips tugged into a smirk.
