54 Chen Long, Back To Grand Sword City, Little Boy?
(Dining Hall, Chen Long's Family Estate)
(Bu Cai POV)
...
Currently... I am in bliss.
Shoveling down mouthfuls of unimaginably scrumptious food, one after another. I feel as though I look like a starving pig...
However. This is not a time for shame, or to care about my face; as I am having food more delectable than any other I've had before.
'All this fuss for some good food?' You may ask.
Well then... All I can say is that you are ignorant and foolish!
If I elaborate further in Xianxia Terms (As I should), I would even say,
'You do not know the Immensity of Heaven and Earth!'
Trust me, Although it may look like mere words on a page to you. This food is so flavourful, that calling it 'food' feels insulting...
*Cough*
Anyways, I am currently at The Clan leader's family Dining room.
This is actually a common occurrence since I've became friends with Chen Fei, and It's nostalgic.
I've missed the feeling of being able to eat together with people, after having left home and my parents for a long time.
And being able to do this, really brought me closer to the Chens (At least the Clan Leader and the siblings).
And Speaking of the Clan Leader, Chen Long, he is currently sitting at the head chair, with a peaceful smile adorning his handsome and youthful face, Whilst he watches the Chen Siblings bicker.
...
I really can't help but admire him as a person.
He is the complete opposite of a usual YM's Father.
He is Neither Arrogant or hypocritical.
He doesn't disdain me at all due to my 'Peasant' origins, and even treats me better than his own son sometimes!
He is a completely down to earth guy. Who, if you don't purposefully piss off, is a reasonable and nice person.
Of course, he acts domineering and mighty in front of Clan Elders, and in Public/Formal situations;
However, At the dining table, he doesn't put on the airs of a Clan Leader or mighty cultivator at all, rather, he acts as a father spending time with family.
Therefore I respect him a lot...
Whether it be for his Power, Status, Or his Attitude.
...
As the Dinner progresses, Chen Fei, Chen Long, Chen Ru and I, all have a great time in each others company, and I was feeling very satisfied with my day off...
However... This all ends tomorrow; as this next period of time will determine whether all my struggles will bare fruit or not.
The tournament begins next week, and it will take 5 days to arrive at the capital, therefore I will have 2 days before it actually begins, and I have shit to do:
The first on this list would be to solidify all the connections I have made over the years, by spending some time with them.
I also must make sure that I meet up with Xie Xinyi again, as I am sure that cold little girl hasn't forgotten her first 'Friend' of sorts (Just how cold beauties are).
Most importantly, was Keeping the interest of Song Ju...
This has been something very stressing for me, Not only am I sure that she has God-Grade Spirit roots, her instant comprehension will also make sure her techniques and skills are not sloppy.
It's simply difficult and if I am honest, It'll be a long shot.
...
But the bad feeling I am getting isn't coming from all of the things I know about, much rather, it is the things I don't know about.
I'm basically sure that Long Tian will appear.
And it worries me.
He has the experiences of a Godking which has lived for ages, and has been able to peacefully raise his strength under the tutelage of a powerful master.
And I am not sure on how strong his companions are now either...
Ah, Forget it...
Stressing about something I cannot control is dumb.
I soon part ways with Chen Ru, who escorted me out, and Went home to get in some sleep in, before the Trip towards the stage where everything will be determined, The Capital.
-------------------------------------------------------------
(Just After The Travel)
(Grand Sword City, Chen Manor)
After Arrival, I instantly head to my luxurious room, and flop myself onto the soft bed mattress and let myself sink into it's embrace.
Thinking about the pains of the trip, I sigh internally, and lament over the pains of appeasing Chen Ru.
She clung to me for the whole time, and wouldn't let me have my privacy at all!
Are women meant to go crazy whilst in love?
And whenever I gave my 'Sworn Brother' Chen Fei, a gaze that pled for help, however the bastard just looked the other way and ignored my pleas.
The only interesting part about this journey was that I was able to see Chen Guanting again.
The man who brought me to the Chen Clan 8 years ago.
He looked like he hadn't aged a day since I last met him, and had the same friendly attitude towards me just like when I first met him.
Got to know that he was promoted to a higher position, and we also talked a bit about life.
Yep, K-Pop guy is still chill.
I couldn't find the urge to hold a grudge against him for my year of servitude, as although he brought me to the Chen clan, it's not like he was the one that schemed against me...
Hehehe, speaking of the perpetrators, those blood supremacy bastards are now just a bunch of headless chickens who don't dare to do anything to me anymore.
After my King-Grade Roots were revealed, They didn't take it well at all.
I shit you not, their faces after seeing the purple was a sight to behold!
I never expected, in my life, I'd see so many peoples' faces could turn so ugly at one time.
Not only were they on the verge of bursting a blood vessel from rage, they also had to congratulate me for my good fortune.
Needless to say, I had a good laugh when I got home.
...
As I was reminiscing over the past, A knock on the door snapped me out of my thoughts.
Who is the bastard that wants me now?!
I walk over and pray to god that it isn't Chen Ru, I'm not mentally prepared to deal with her right now.
As the Door clicks open, I see... no one.
What? Is this a prank?
However, as I look down a bit, I see the perpetrator.
...
A small boy who looks like 10, is looking up at me with a furious glare, and a large frown on his small face.
Who's this little shit? And what's his issue?
Did someone shit in his cereal this morning?
This boy looked quite cute in all honesty, He had long Golden hair flowing down his back, he was clothed in some shiny and glamorous Golden Robe, and his eyes were a Blue/Green colour.
Inspecting his robe more, I see words which instantly make my eyes widen...
The robes a the Word 'WU' engraved on it in bold...
R-R-Royalty!?
He then said with a cold but was still squeaky tone,
"How DARE you steal what this prince desires!"
...
Who the fuck did I offend this time!
Is my plate not already full!?
:(
...Life truly isn't easy.

Author's Note:
Finally decided to introduce a member of the royal family.
Thought it would make sense that one would appear to see the Chen Siblings.
Hope you enjoyed the chapter and any suggestions or feedback is appreciated.
