Chapter 1930: Young Master Xu and them are doing well?
The Guo Family Second Ancestor made a sudden, incredibly smooth kneel.
Seeing the strange old man who suddenly appeared before him, Ye Zhangqing froze.
He asked, his eyes full of doubt.
"Senior, who are you?"
I don't know this old man at all, but the Guo Family Third Ancestor beside him spoke up to explain.
"Ye youngster, this is my second older brother."
"Old Three, you're being rude; how can you address him like that? Quickly call him Young Master Ye."
Huh???
Old Three is simple-minded, didn't understand the current situation, but the Guo Family Second Ancestor saw through it completely.
When he just entered the Dong Fu, he had been carefully observing; unlike Old Three, who only thought about Ye Zhangqing's safety.
When Hei Lao brought him into this lakeside cottage nestled against the hills, the Guo Family Second Ancestor immediately glanced at everyone present without showing any emotion.
He might not know the others, but Bai Yuan knows him — he's the Deputy City Lord of the Cooking King Immortal City.
And when the Guo Family Third Ancestor called out 'Ye youngster,' he naturally also saw Ye Zhangqing sitting and chatting happily with Bai Yuan and the others at the same table.
This completely confirmed it: the Young City Lord Ye that Hei Lao just mentioned is none other than the Ye Zhangqing that Old Three has been thinking about.
Although I don't know how this youngster became the Young City Lord.
He's only been here for a year, and he's only at the Emperor Sovereign Realm, yet he became the Young City Lord.
Moreover, being able to sit and chat happily with Bai Yuan at the same table shows how much the Cooking King Immortal City values him.
And the Young City Lord of the Cooking King Immortal City is, for the Guo Family, absolutely someone to curry favor with.
Old Three, this idiot, doesn't even know how to cling to such a thick thigh.
Relying on the various connections the Guo Family previously had with Ye Zhangqing, they've practically seized the initiative.
Now, as long as they perform normally and don't do anything stupid, they can securely hold onto this thigh.
So, while the Guo Family Second Ancestor was speaking, he gave Old Three a fierce glare.
Faced with his older brother's gaze, the Guo Family Third Ancestor hadn't reacted yet, wondering what was going on.
Seeing Old Three's eyes full of pure stupidity, the Guo Family Second Ancestor knew this foolish brother hadn't caught on again, so he had to keep reminding him.
"What status does the Young City Lord have? How can you address him like that? Hurry up and call him Young City Lord."
This was almost explicitly said; upon hearing this, the Guo Family Third Ancestor didn't know if he understood, but he still called out as instructed.
"Young City Lord."
But he still couldn't match his older brother's level; that smooth kneel left him dumbfounded.
Hearing their conversation, Ye Zhangqing also realized the old man kneeling before him; his mouth twitched, his eyelids jumped, and he forced a smile.
"Senior, please get up; I, as a junior, can't bear this."
Without saying another word, he just performed a smooth kneel, which actually left him at a loss.
Only after Ye Zhangqing's repeated persuasion did the Guo Family Second Ancestor agree to rise.
Afterwards, Ye Zhangqing invited the two to sit down; Bai Yuan and the others had no objection.
Moreover, because of Ye Zhangqing, they were even very friendly toward the Guo Family Second Ancestor and his companion.
This made the Guo Family Second Ancestor increasingly shocked; it seemed Ye Zhangqing's status in the Cooking King Immortal City was far higher than he had imagined.
Until Wu Zhong personally poured tea for him; at first he didn't pay attention, thinking he was just an ordinary disciple.
But when he inadvertently glanced at Wu Zhong, the Guo Family Second Ancestor's brows furrowed slightly, and the image of the Wu Family Young Master suddenly appeared in his mind.
The more he thought about it, the more it resembled; he then cautiously asked.
"Wu Family Young Master?"
"Senior, your discerning eye is correct; I am indeed Wu Zhong."
Huh???
"You are.................."
"I, the junior, now follow Senior Brother Ye around; please, senior, have some tea."
Huh???
Hearing Wu Zhong's words, the Guo Family Second Ancestor went numb; so what is the situation now?
If he's not mistaken, this Wu Family Young Master is also one of the Young City Lords of the Cooking King Immortal City.
This Young City Lord has become a follower of another Young City Lord; has the Cooking King Immortal City really become this wild?
Watching Wu Zhong finish pouring tea and then respectfully retreat behind Ye Zhangqing, the Guo Family Second Ancestor felt that their Guo Family might really take off this time.
This thigh before him is far thicker than imagined.
If they hold onto this thigh well, what more do the Guo Family need to strive for? They'd just boom into place.
Unconsciously turning his head to look at Ye Zhangqing, just that glance made the Guo Family Second Ancestor's face darken directly.
He silently cursed, 'worthless thing.'
All that could be seen, the Guo Family Third Ancestor was completely unaware of where their Guo Family's opportunity lay.
He was just chatting with Ye Zhangqing about family matters, asking this and that, and still speaking from the perspective of an elder.
Even some of his words carried a hint of blame.
"Youngster, take it easy with your affairs; if something happens, I might not have time to save you."
Calling him 'youngster' over and over made the Guo Family Second Ancestor's heart race; 'Is that what you can call him? Hurry up and call him Young Master Ye.'
The Guo Family Second Ancestor was anxious in his heart, fearing that whatever Old Three says might upset Ye Zhangqing, causing their Guo Family to miss out on this heaven‑shaking wealth and honor.
But seeing Ye Zhangqing and Old Three chatting heatedly, at that moment the Guo Family Second Ancestor couldn't find a chance to interject, so he could only forcibly endure.
This endurance made the Guo Family Second Ancestor's mood like riding a spiritual vessel, rising and falling, which was quite stimulating.
Finally, as Ye Zhangqing asked a question.
"I wonder if my Shī xiōng and the others are still alright?"
As soon as those words were spoken, the Guo Family's Second Ancestor's eyes lit up; at last he had gotten the opportunity he'd been waiting for, and he hurriedly spoke respectfully.
"Young Master Ye, rest assured, Master Xu and the others are all now in the Guo Family, doing well."
"We still often mention Young Master Ye, we miss him dearly; look, we two old men, as soon as the city opened, came right away to respectfully welcome Young Master Ye back home."
When the Guo Family's Second Ancestor spoke, his fawning demeanor could be felt even from eight hundred li away.
Ye Zhangqing felt somewhat helpless about this, while the Guo Family's Third Ancestor, this iron simpleton, then didn't quite understand and said.
"Second Brother, you don't need to be like this; Young Master Ye is not an outsider."
"Old Three, what kind of talk is this? I've told you many times, you must address him as 'Young Master', understand?"
"Before I could, I was.............."
"What before, call him Young Master."
"Senior, you really don't need to be like this; the Guo Family has shown kindness to us juniors, we won't forget it, no matter now or in the future, no matter what our status, as long as the Guo Family doesn't fail us juniors, we juniors will not fail the Guo Family."
Seeing the Guo Family's Second Ancestor's fawning look, Ye Zhangqing helplessly spoke up.
Besides, there's already Wu Zhong, this sycophant, by his side; adding another one, Ye Zhangqing feels he should be somewhat unable to cope.
And as Ye Zhangqing's words came out, the Guo Family's Second Ancestor was overjoyed, saying 'good, good, good,' their Guo Family really is about to take off.
The ancestral graves are smoking, and it's a collective smoking kind; the blessings of all our forebears, this tremendous fortune, has finally fallen upon the heads of our Guo Family.
A beautiful future lies right before our eyes.
