Chapter 3261: I Have to Salute You?
Noticing that there was something not right with Huang Baoguiâs reaction, Huang Bo ventured cautiously, âThird Uncle, you know Huang Datouâs uncle?â
After Huang Houde had taken over the Huang Familyâs patriarch position, Huang Xiaolong had become a taboo subject. No one had dared to mention Huang Xiaolong anymore, thus juniors in the same generation as Huang Bo had not heard of Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Baoqui regained his composure and asked Huang Bo, âAre you certain that heâs Huang Datouâs eldest uncle?!â
âPositive!â Huang Bo nodded and seeing Huang Baoguiâs serious face, he tried asking, âThird Uncle, whatâs the matter? Does Huang Datouâs eldest uncle has a powerful background?â
Huang Baogui breathed in deeply and literally exhaled his words, âIf it is really him, then itâs going to be big trouble!â
Huang Bo had never seen his Third Uncle look so solemn, and it scared him a little, âThird Uncle, that, canât possibly be, right? Huang Datouâs uncle doesnât look like some big shot to me? Moreover, heâs only one person!â
Huang Baogui shook his head, âYou donât understand!â
Donât understand? Huang Bo was visibly baffled.
âHeâs called Huang Xiaolong!â It seemed difficult for Huang Baogui to say those words. âHe and our patriarch are of the same generations, and they were once hailed as the Huang Familyâs twin dragons. He is an outstanding talent!â
Huang Bo was shocked. âThird Uncle, you mean Huang Xiaolong is as talented as our patriarch?â
Huang Baogui glanced at Huang Bo out of the corner of his eye as he said, âAs talented? Although our patriarch and him were hailed as the twin dragons of the younger generation, his talent is much higher than our Lord Patriarch!â
âEven more terrifying is his ability to comprehend! Even the Old Ancestor praises his talent in comprehending any martial arts given to him!â Huang Baogui went on, âAny martial arts, as long as he takes one look at them, he can learn the essence of it!â
Huang Bo was dumbfounded.
Any martial arts, as long as he saw them once, he can learn the essence of it!
âThat, thatâs exaggerating!â Huang Bo exclaimed sharply.
Huang Baogui nodded. âHuang Xiaolongâs talent is indeed terrifying, originally, the Huang Familyâs patriarch position should have been his!â
Huang Bo swallowed hard after hearing that. DamnâŠ
Huang Datouâs uncle was actually so amazing!
At the same time, he thought of a problem. Does that mean, Huang Datouâs uncleâs true qi can be released more than one thousand meters outside of his body?
âBut what happened to Huang Xiaolong later?â Huang Bo asked. He wondered if Huang Xiaolong could have taken over the Huang Familyâs patriarch position, then why was it his grandfather Huang Houde who sat in the position in the end?
Huang Baogui went on, âFor some reason, when Huang Xiaolong was sixteen or seventeen, he suddenly went missing one day. It was as if he completely vanished from the face of the Earth, and no matter where we searched, we couldnât find a trace of him, until now! He has been missing for a hundred years!â
A hundred years! Huang Bo was flabbergasted.
âThird Uncle, with Huang Xiaolongâs talent, do you think heâs alreadyâŠ?â Huang Bo asked anxiously.
Huang Baogui knew what Huang Bo was asking and answered with certainty, âWith Huang Xiaolongâs talent, he definitely has stepped into Nascent Soul Realm, and itâs very likely heâs a high-level Nascent Soul expert!â
âNas-Nacent, high-level Nascent Soul expert!â Huang Bo repeatedly dazedly, and his face had turned several shades paler. He had sent Honorary Elder Chen Yu to deal with Huang Xiaolong, and according to his subordinate, Chen Yu had gone to look for Huang Xiaolong on that day. If Huang Xiaolong discovered Chen Yu, wouldnât that mean?
Noticing Huang Boâs unnatural expression, Huang Baogui asked, âWhat happened?â
Only then did Huang Bo tell Huang Baogui about hiring Honorary Elder Chen Yu to deal with Huang Xiaolong with two pieces of Roaring Dragon Jade.
âConfused!â Huang Baogui reprimanded Huang Bo, âWhen can you change your reckless personality? You didnât even check out who your enemy is, and you ran in blindly!â
Huang Bo panicked, âThird Uncle, Iâm wrong, but I didnât expect Huang Xiaolong to have such a background! What do you think we should do now?â
Seeing his nephew admit his mistake so swiftly, more than half of Huang Baoguiâs anger dissipated. He said sullenly, âYou donât have to worry for now. Even if Huang Xiaolong is really a high-level Nascent Soul expert now, heâs only one person. He wonât be able to stir any big waves. Our patriarch has been in that position for so long, the family from top to bottom obeys him. His status and prestige is not something Huang Xiaolong who had been missing for a hundred years can compare to. Moreover, our patriarch has the old ancestor on his side, and the old ancestor would not allow Huang Xiaolong to jeopardize the patriarchâs position!â
Huang Bo relaxed when he heard those words, and could even laugh. âThird Uncle is right. Even though Huang Xiaolongâs back now, he canât change reality.â
Huang Baogui stood up and started pacing in the hall. âHuang Xiaolongâs return is a big event, Iâll have people contact your second grandfather now to tell him.â
âUnnecessary,â right at this time, a tepid voice sounded.
The pair of uncle and nephew were stunned, and Huang Baogui spun around, looking all over vigilantly. âWhoâs there?!â
There was a tall and lean figure walking in from the outer hall!
Huang Boâs eyes widened in fear, and he backed away until he was behind Huang Baogui, âThird Uncle, itâs him. Heâs that Huang Xiaolong!â
Huang Baoguiâs eyes narrowed, veiling the shock he felt in his eyes. In truth, he had never seen Huang Xiaolong, but he had heard his father talk about Huang Xiaolongâs feats once or twice.
He looked at Huang Xiaolong entering at a leisurely pace, Huang Xiaolong was younger than he had expected!
Earlier when Huang Bo had said that Huang Xiaolong looked like he was in his twenties, Huang Baogui hadnât really believed it, but now, looking at Huang Xiaolong, he did not look a day older than twenty.
âYouâre Huang Datouâs eldest uncle, Huang Xiaolong?â Huang Baogui soon regained his composure and questioned Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong looked at Huang Baogui, âYouâre the one who deliberately sent my younger brother to the Dead Sea to kill a Six-Eyed Fish Monster, crippled my brother and caused my brother to be bedridden. Then, you forced my father to sell the main residence at a low price to your friend, Huang Baogui?â
Listening to a chain of accusations, Huang Baoguiâs face turned slightly ugly, and he hardened his voice, âHuang Xiaolong, please pay attention to your identity. Even if youâre really a Nascent Soul expert now, your status within the Huang Family has not been recognized by the familyâs grand elders. Youâre merely an ordinary disciple in the family, whereas I am a Huang Familyâs Elder!â
âWhat gives you the right to question me?â
âAfter seeing an Elder of the family, you have to salute me!â Huang Baogui looked extremely proud when he uttered the latter part.
âWhat gives me the right to question you?â Huang Xiaolong felt like laughing. âAnd I have to salute you?â
Huang Baogui sneered, âThatâs right, Huang Xiaolong. Otherwise, once I report this matter to the familyâs Enforcement Hall, youâll be charged with a big offense of disrespect!â
But just as he finished speaking, an overwhelming force dragged him, and to his horror, he couldnât break free nor had any control over his own body.
Huang Xiaolong clenched his palm over Huang Baoguiâs neck and his eyes filled with undisguised contempt. âBig offense of disrespect? Huang Familyâs Enforcement Hall?â
Huang Bo faked false bravado and shouted, âHuang Xiaolong, what are you doing, release my Third Uncle immediately. When my second grandfather learns about this, youâreâ!â
