Zhou Sheng was not stupid; he knew he seed to have gotten himself into trouble.
However, he was not certain whether the person in front of him was Xu Hao or not.
If he begged for rcy imdiately, and it turned out not to be Xu Hao, wouldn't he lose all his face?
Zhou Sheng had made his mark in the vast expanse of Huadu, where face was essential, so he still harbored so hope against the odds.
He was unsure if the person before him was indeed Xu Hao, but he had to act as if he wasn't Xu Hao.
For if this really was Xu Hao, he knew he would definitely not be in for anything good, so he needed to get away, and the sooner the better.
Unfortunately, Xu Hao would not let him leave. He suddenly blocked Zhou Sheng's path to escape, speaking coldly, "Want to leave? Without my permission, no one can leave!"
The more domineering Xu Hao was, the more panicked Zhou Sheng beca.
If Xu Hao had given him an out, an opportunity to leave, he would have easily judged that this was not Xu Hao.
But given such a strong attitude, who else could it be if not Xu Hao?
Zhou Sheng finally softened his attitude, saying, "Brother, I really have an urgent matter at ho. We, the Zhou Family, just moved to Huadu not long ago, and I am unfamiliar with the local people here; please show rcy and let go."
"Unfamiliar with this place?" Xu Hao scoffed. "I also co from Jing'an, so why don't you recognize ? Don't say it's yourself today; even if the old ancestor of your Zhou Family ca forward, I wouldn't give him face!"
This was definitely Xu Hao!
At that mont, Zhou Sheng could be one hundred percent certain. If this was not Xu Hao, he could eat shit standing on his head!
Apart from Xu Hao, who dared speak that way to the elder Family Head of the Zhou Family?
Even Wu Yong, the Patriarchical Head of the Wu Family, who was a generation younger than the Zhou Family's elder, had to act at least politely, if not respectfully, in the presence of the Zhou Family's elder.
But Xu Hao alone seed to hold no regard for the authority of those great families; in his eyes, they were simply not fearso at all.
Master Xingyi, watching from the side, felt very pleased and nodded repeatedly.
Xu Hao clearly possessed Grandmaster Level strength, but if he acted timidly, Xingyi would actually look down on him.
The path of martial arts seeks a clear mind.
A muddled mind could easily hit a bottleneck, making progress extrely difficult.
Moreover, Xu Hao was still young, the pri ti for being vigorous; being restrained now could actually hinder his progress in the martial arts.
Constantly challenging stronger opponents and improving through battle was the best way for a talented martial artist to rise swiftly. Plodding along with re hard work was much too slow.
Wang Chun Jiao, however, was completely unaware of how dangerous Xu Hao could be; after all, given her social status, she really had no contact with Xu Hao.
She snorted disdainfully through her nose and said scornfully, "You're really sticking feathers in your tail—pretending to be a phoenix! It's bad enough you're sticking your nose where it doesn't belong, but you don't even give the Zhou Family's elder a second thought. Who do you think you are? Do you think you are more formidable than 'Boss' Chu Yunlong?"
Zhou Sheng, caught between tears and laughter, said, "Madam, you're really going to ruin ." Thischapterwasmadepossiblebythe*community.
He took two steps at a ti to get to Xu Hao and said, "Young Master Xu, I can now confirm that you indeed are the martially skilled Young Master Xu. Please, I beg you to show rcy and spare this ti."
Xu Hao spoke indifferently, "You are from the Jing'an Zhou Family, aren't you?"
"Yes," Zhou Sheng imdiately replied.
"Since you are from the Jing'an Zhou Family, then why don't you recognize ?"
"I thought that Young Master Xu wouldn't co to Huadu for the ti being. By the ti you beca famous, we were about to move away, so I didn't have the chance to see your portrait. All of this is my oversight; otherwise, it wouldn't be a case of 'the flood bringing confusion and monks hitting each other'—a situation where a misunderstanding arises between one of our own."
Xu Hao slightly waved his hand, saying, "Enough, you and I are not kin."
Zhou Sheng fawningly said, "Young Master Xu, we both co from Jing'an City. As the saying goes, 'when fellow villagers et, tears well up in their eyes.' When I see you, I am moved to tears of excitent!"
As he spoke, teardrops indeed appeared in his eyes, swirling around in his sockets.
"You really have terrific acting skills; not becoming an actor is truly a waste of your talent," Xu Hao said sowhat speechlessly. He had no deep grudge against Zhou Sheng, rely defending You Yaozong; the fleeting fierceness in his eyes was not directed at himself, and he certainly wouldn't have paranoid delusions leading him to harm Zhou Sheng.
Zhou Sheng quickly smiled and said, "You're right, Young Master Xu. Once your film studio starts up, I will definitely co here to be an extra, and who knows, maybe one day I might even beco a star. When that day cos, I will definitely say it's all thanks to Young Master Xu's grace."
To gain Xu Hao's favor, to avoid Xu Hao's hostility, Zhou Sheng was truly pulling out all the stops and maximizing his flattery.
Master Xingyi was slightly shocked; just by revealing his own na, Xu Hao had reduced the previously arrogant Zhou Sheng to this sorry state, indicating just how fearso Xu Hao's na really was.
Li Chenggong, however, was not very surprised. Just a few nights ago, Xu Hao had instantaneously killed eight of the Wu Family Bodyguards; this made him realize that despite Xu Hao's youth, he was not soft-hearted. Such a young man with extre strength was definitely bound to have a fierce reputation.
