Divine King of Honour

Chapter 289 Playing the Old Man

Zhao Qingqing chasing after me?

Xu Nian truly wanted to laugh at this moment but had to forcefully hold it back.

He really wanted to walk up to Zhao Qingqing and ask her a question.

"Zhao Qingqing, do you know that your Master is a goof?"

"Really, you don't believe me? If you don't, I can call Zhao Qingqing over for you," the old man hastily said.

"No, no, no, I believe you, but I already have a wife. Senior, please tell Zhao Qingqing to forget about me," Xu Nian said with a face that showed no shame.

The people around them were about to burst into laughter.

This Xu Nian and the old man were clearly deceiving each other!

"A wife? I don't believe it, how old are you even?" the old man said, shaking his head.

"Senior, it's true, and I have more than one wife. Look, these two are my wives, one is the third, and the other is the seventh, and there are several more at home," Xu Nian said, pointing to Zhao Yanyun and Chen Yao.

"Huh?" The old man was stunned, only then noticing the two beauties sitting beside Xu Nian.

Zhao Yanyun and Chen Yao were both feeling embarrassed.

But they knew Xu Nian was messing with the old man and still played along with a smile.

The third wife?

The seventh wife?

He came up with some crazy stuff.

Seeing that the two women did not object, the old man started to believe it.

He was, however, a bit surprised.

How young was this kid, and he already had at least seven wives?

"No, I must take him as my disciple." The old man, realizing that his beauty trap did not work, quickly cleared his throat and struck a pose of an expert.

"Young lad, even if you're not interested in Zhao Qingqing, it would be best for you to join our Wuji Sect," the old man said, not giving up.

"Oh? And why is that?" Xu Nian again pretended to be perplexed.

This old man really did not get discouraged.

When one trick didn't work, he switched to another.

The dishes and drinks hadn't arrived yet, so he might as well continue to tease him.

"To tell you the truth, I am a Marquis Level powerhouse. If you become my disciple, I can cover for you, and that way you can be sure nobody would dare to bully you when you go out," the old man said proudly.

Xu Nian found it amusing inside; this old man was really something.

"It's the Four Great Families. I have more or less grudges with all of them, and my grievances with the Imperial Family are irreconcilable," Xu Nian answered earnestly.

In reality, most of what he said was true, but at that moment, it sounded utterly ridiculous to the listeners.

The old man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, once again uncertain of what to say.

"Elder, I think it's better to forget about it. I know it's tough for you, and I wouldn't want to drag the Wuji Sect into this," Xu Nian said with a look of great sorrow.

"Don't lose heart. Your situation is indeed a bit special. In a few days, when the Sect leaders arrive, I will consult with them," the old man hurried to console him.

Having said that, he prepared to leave.

"Hey, elder, do you think I have any destiny with the Wuji Sect?" Suddenly, Chen Wudi butted in.

The old man gave Chen Wudi a look and declared, "No fate!"

"Then what about your female disciple? If I join your Sect, could I possibly win her affection? Don't worry, I have no wife and no enemies," Chen Wudi joked with a smile.

The old man shot Chen Wudi a glance and then dejectedly returned to his own table.

Everyone burst into laughter.

Chen Wudi looked helplessly; he had intended to tease the old man.

He didn't expect the old man to dismiss him outright.

Of course, if he were to reveal the secret of his Star Battle Body, the old man would probably come begging to him.

"How did it go, Master? Were you successful?" Zhao Qingqing looked at her Master returning and asked with some surprise.

The old man let out a sigh and shook his head.

Instantly, Zhao Qingqing understood that her Master had failed.

Her brows knit slightly as she thought to herself, "Could he really be that proud, looking down on our Wuji Sect?".

Chu Lin, standing nearby, let out a cold snort, disdainfully saying, "Hmph, he has a bit of talent, and he dares to look down on our Wuji Sect? I really want to see what's so great about him that makes him so arrogant."

After that, Chu Lin stood up and started walking towards Xu Nian's table.

"Chu Lin, come back!" the old man quickly shouted sternly.

But Chu Lin had no intention of listening and continued towards Xu Nian, full of anger.

Xu Nian, hearing this, could only helplessly shake his head.

He came up with these lies, first, because it was fun to tease the old man.

Secondly, he wanted to let the old man back off gracefully, rather than outright rejecting him and causing offense.

However, he didn't expect Chu Lin to have such resentment against him, intent on picking a fight.

"Xu Nian, get out here! I want to fight you one-on-one; I want to see what makes you so arrogant that you dare to look down on our Wuji Sect," Chu Lin arrived at Xu Nian's table and roared with fury.
