: Papatonks

Morning, seniors, ha-ha-ha

Bright and early, Zhuo Fan and young Sanzi were heading towards the door and were startled to see someone already there. But that didnt stop him from greeting with a smile.

The exit had guards in place, Soul Harmony experts with mighty auras.

Glancing over, the two men put their hand out, blocking the way.

Zhuo Fan looked at them puzzled as they mocked, Sorry, Sir Gu, youre the Clan Heads nephew. For your safety, its best you stay inside.

Oh, I see, now Im someone of value, ha-ha-ha

Zhuo Fan gave a strained laugh, Youre taking our safety very seriously I see. He-he-he, why thank you.

Bobbing his face with a bright smile, Zhuo Fan took young Sanzi back, not thinking of leaving again.

The men held nothing but disdain for the two.

Gu Santong looked bleak, gnas.h.i.+ng his teeth, d.a.m.n these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, they take our home and now are locking us in!

Easy now, young Sanzi. Didnt I tell you already? Yesterday was going to be our last day of leisure.

With a sinister smile, Zhuo Fan continued, Which works best for us. They want to keep us here so well use this to see their every move. Once they act and fight with the Flying Cloud manor, well be sure to reap the rewards, completing our mission.

Gu Santong nodded, but that didnt mean he liked it, With these cowards, who knows how long well be stuck here before that happens?

Ha-ha-ha, these blokes wont last long. The more they wait the more dangerous it gets. Theyre more desperate than us to finish and go home.

Rubbing Gu Santongs head, Zhuo Fans eyes shone, feeling in complete control of everything, All we have to do now is just wait.

Gu Santong sighed a nod.

[Lets go back to our cell. Not like I havent done it in Tianyu]

Did you come from outside?

The two were startled by a bright voice. Turning around, they saw the young miss.

First came her unique fragrance, then Shangguan Qingyans graceful figure. Seeing Gu Santong, she went for a hug, pinching his cheeks, Young Sanzi, did you miss auntie last night?

Zhuo Fan rolled his eyes.

[Hey lady, its only been a night, not years. Not even your relatives will miss you.]

[And youre not close to young Sanzi anyway. Whod ever miss you?]

Gu Santong was of the same mind, judging by that cold look, Whod ever miss you?

Ugh!

That one went straight to her heart as Shangguan Qingyan showed a bitter smile, Young Sanzi, youre still so stubborn.

Let go of me! Im going back to sleep. Gu Santong huffed, looking elsewhere.

Shangguan Qingyan was stumped.

[Why is he so cold to me, and angry? Who is he angry at? ]

Glancing at Zhuo Fan, he chuckled, Dont mind it, hes just being a brat. I promised to take him out to play, but You know how Im now a new man, with the clan worried for my safety. So I have to stay inside for now, and the child

Theyre holding you here?

Shangguan Qingyan exploded, This is your home and were just guests. How can they do this? Thats just crossing the line! Humph, Shangguan clan isnt so shameless! Young Sanzi, dont worry, auntie here will take you out.

Shangguan Qingyan carried Gu Santong as she marched for the door; a woman on a crusade.

Zhuo Fan smirked, enjoying the show that followed.

Young miss!

The two men bowed before Shangguan Qingyan, unlike how they treated Zhuo Fan.

Shangguan Qingyan barked, What do you think youre doing? This is the Gu household, so why are you stopping the two of them? Are you settling in the role of robbers, taking anothers home? Have you forgotten all the values Shangguan clan stands for?

Young miss, please

The two bowed again, feeling conflicted, Its Clan Heads order. Were just the messengers.

Shangguan Qingyans brow shook, Dad? No way! He clearly said to look after the father and son, to be friendly. He even sees him as nephew

Uh, yeah, yeah, it must be that Clan Head was worried for his new nephew that he didnt want him to go out. The town isnt safe

Bulls.h.i.+t!

Shangguan Qingyan cut them off with her outburst, You cant lie to me! They have nothing to do with the Shangguan clan. No ones after them in Flying Cloud City. Youre just trapping them here. Humph, I brought you all here and this is what you do? It is my duty to hold the true owner of this houses side. Now shove off! Im taking young Sanzi and Sir Zhuo for a walk.

[Uh]

Frowning, the two were very conflicted, indecisive.

Zhuo Fan looked from the side. He wanted Shangguan clan to pave his way, but it wasnt bad making waves and stirring things up either.

Lest some guy from the Shangguan clan wanted to push him around. If he didnt stand out, hed suffer.

This noise came at the best time, showing everyone Shangguan clans young miss was on their side and scaring off some bored chaps looking for trouble.

Zhuo Fan simply watched the show unfold with a hidden smile.

As the situation became tense, a shout came, Cousin, uncle is calling you. The Gu father and son can come as well.

The two men sighed, the Clan Head finally asked for young miss. It was getting a bit too tense for them, having to choose between duty and respect.

Ill go see dad and then well go out.

Glaring at them, Shangguan Qingyan hugged Gu Santong as she went, Sir Gu, well explain it all to dad.

Zhuo Fan nodded, walking behind her.

Bam!

Something blocked his view then, knocking into it and stumbling five steps back.

It was Shangguan Yulin.

Zhuo Fan sneered inside.

[Here it comes, making it hard on me. First last night and now today. Hes clearly looking for trouble.]

Shangguan Qingyan was enraged, holding Gu Santong as she went, while oblivious to Zhuo Fans predicament.

Shangguan Yulin watched her go then mocked Zhuo Fan, Stay away from young miss. Wretched social climbers like you two wont get anywhere.

Shangguan Yulin left after that.

Zhuo Fan raised an eyebrow, staring hard at him, then he shook his head.

[Such are clansmen, empty of talent yet full of conceit and petty. While youre looking after the Shangguan clans name, I have a way bigger goal in mind.]

Zhuo Fan shook his head before going as well.

People gathered into the parlor, where Shangguan Qingyan and Shangguan Feixiong were already present. Seeing her dad, Shangguan Qingyan started whining.

Ha-ha-ha, alright, I was only thinking of the twos safety. Ill make sure to berate those insensible men.

Shangguan Feixiong was a leader after all, easily handling this trifle. Then he turned to Zhuo Fan, Yifan, youre part of the Shangguan clan now and must shoulder the burden. None of us can walk outside and the task of gathering information falls to you. Qingyan, Yulin, youll provide a.s.sistance in the light and in shadows.

Shangguan Qingyan lit up, Then young Sanzi can go outside?

Of course!

Shangguan Feixiong smiled, I said that they misunderstood my intention. I never wanted to hold the two here.

Great!

Shangguan Qingyan cheered, hugging young Sanzi close. Young Sanzi was also smiling.

Only Zhuo Fan had a calculative look
