Tempered Into Immortal Chapter 4: Fiercely Beat The Head Steward

Proofread by Nie Qiao

The whole night, Zheng Luo is too excited to sleep. As a result, he sleeps for only an hour but is full of spirit and energy.

In the early morning of next day, some servants of Luo family unlock the door of the bas.e.m.e.nt. They dresses Zheng Luo in leather armor and takes him out.

Zheng Luo's body changed totally after he enters the Level of Bone. The change is so thorough that even his way of walking is changed. He feels that every step is easier than before.

The feeling is so strong that he would almost rush forward instead of walking step by step if not for the constraint of the d.a.m.n handcuffs and shackles.

Following the servants, Zheng Luo finds there is something strange with the road.

Luo family occupies a large area of land that is well laid out. Except for the Tournament Hall, the Meeting Room, the Herb Yard and the Smelting Room, which are commonly shared by the whole family, all other buildings are established on the front yard.

But the road heads to the back yard of Luo family's mansion.

Zheng Luo frowns but doesn't say a word. He wants to wait and see.

He hasn't been to the back yard of Luo's mansion for a long time and it changes a lot. It is especially true of the residences of the second branch and the third branch, to which many pavilions, pools, bridges and delicate buildings have been added.

The buildings all have intricate carvings of loong and phoenix decorated with gold and gemstones on their doors and ridgepoles.

Seeing the behavior of the second branch and the third branch, Zheng Luo sighs in his mind. Although Luo family is rich enough to afford the expense, nowadays only people with strong power can survive, and money is the last thing they pay attention to. Apparently, a family indulging in entertainment is in danger.

Luo family may be destroyed by his two uncles.

Zheng Luo pa.s.ses by a pool and enters a yard.

There are two people drinking tea and talking cheerfully in the yard.

One of them is steward Fang who has missed for two days, and the other is about fifty years old dressed in silk. Zheng Luo finds he knows the person whose name is Ge Huang, a former servant of Luo family.

Because Ge Huang's wife is the nurse of Zhengyun Luo, the first son of Zheng Luo's uncle, and Ge Huang is good at flattering, which secures him a wonderful relations.h.i.+p with the third branch of Luo family and his status is rising quickly too.

Now, because Zheng Luo's two uncles dominate the business of the whole Luo family, Ge Huang owns more power than ever before. He is the head steward of Luo family and even shows no respect to some collateral Luo offspring.

Zheng Luo has heard about his arrogant behaviors long since.

Before Zheng Luo walks in the yard, he hears the words of Fang telling to Ge Huang, "Huang, the yard Master Chengyun gave to you is an elaborative work. I guess the jade loong on the plaque is carved from good corundum, isn't it?"

"You are a discerning man. Not only the jade loong, but the coppery lion as well was carved by the best craftsman of Chongyang Prefecture," Ge Huang laughs and says.

Steward Fang admires all of the decorations and says, "Lord Huang, your yard is good in every aspect except one."

"My yard is perfect. It lacks nothing." Ge Huang says complacently.

Fang says, "You lack an efficient servant. Now, the servant is here. It will bring you dignity to take him as your servant."

"Who is that servant?" Ge Huang says curiously.

Fang points to the doorway of the yard and says, "Look, Lord Huang."

Ge Huang looks in the direction Fang is pointing to and sees Zheng Luo, the famous former young lord of Luo family. How could Ge Huang not know him?

Hearing the conversion of Fang and Huang clearly, Zheng Luo feels a fire of anger burning in his heart. How dare they say that kind of words!

Although he is demoted to domestic servant, it is the private thing of their Luo family.

Even some collateral Luo offspring show respect to him due to his former status, the son of the head branch.

How Fang dares to persuade Ge Huang to take him as a lower servant!

Ge Huang looks Zheng Luo up and down. A sneaky smile appears on his fully wrinkled old face, and he says: "It is appropriate to ask him to serve me. But will Master Chengyun disagree?"

"Be a.s.sured, Lord Huang. You are our head steward, and you can transfer Zheng Luo from the Tournament Hall hands down. Now Zheng Luo is a normal domestic servant who is sent to the Tournament Hall and beaten heavily every day. Working for you is more comfortable and what he needs to do at most is empty urinary basin." Fang says.

Fang' words have moved Ge Huang. People like Ge Huang who has moved up in the worldl from the bottom cla.s.s think of their prestige highly. It is really an interesting thing that the former young lord of Luo family empties urinary basin for him. Ge Huang nods at Fang and says, "That's a good idea."

"Just do it," Fang nods and rises to ask the servants to bring Zheng Luo in.

But Zheng Luo still stands there without movement. Although the servants drag him, he doesn't move.

Though the servants are somewhat strong, how could they move Zheng Luo who has entered the Level of Bone?

Zheng Luo stands stably as if his feet were rooted to the ground. The servants try to move him with all their strength, breathlessly and sweatily.

"ZhengLuo! I give you a chance to serve lord Huang! Do not be ungrateful!" Fang cries.

At this moment, there is a yell of rage from Zheng Luo. Because contractility of Zheng Luo's rib is more powerful than before after he entered the Level of Bone, the yell sounds like a clap of thunder, which numbs the ears of Ge Huang and servants.

"Ge Huang! Cong Fang! Even my uncle Bingquan Luo dare not ask me to serve him. And you, two menial servants, how dare you!

Zheng Luo's momentum overwhelms Fang and frightens off him. He hides behind Ge Huang.

Fang wants Ge Huang to cope with Zheng Luo, that's the reason why he brings Zheng Luo. Now, by observing Zheng Luo's performance, Ge Huang can make sure that his goal is nearly achieved. Ge Huang rises from the lowest cla.s.s of Luo family, and he hates that kind of people who call himself menial man. That's Zheng Luo's funeral.

Hearing Zheng Luo's words, Ge Huang narrows his eyes and smiles blackly. He says, "Zheng Luo, don't forget your ident.i.ty. You are a humble domestic servant, not our young lord anymore! Our young lord is Peiran Luo! It's your honor to serve me!"

"Hop it"

Zheng Luo s.h.i.+vers his body. The servants are all sprung out and tumble.

Ge Huang continues, "Zheng Luo, you are a sinner! Do you want to rebel? According to the tribe's laws, we can kill you by dismembering your body!"

Zheng Luo sneers and walks into the yard. He laughs uproariously, "the tribe's laws? A nonfamily servant, how could you say the tribe's laws? I will make you know what is called tribe's laws!"

Zheng Luo raises his hand and is about to slap Huang's face. There is a sound arising from his bones, which sounds as if someone cooks beans. That sound appears only when one uses his strength extremely.

"Zheng Luo! How dare you! If you slap me, Master Chenyun will not let you off! You pounching sandbag! You have no power in Luo family, you will be killed!" Ge Huang says, pretending to be calm.

Bang

Zheng Luo smacks Huang's face hard after he says the words. When Zheng Luo enters the Level of Bone, his power has doubled. Although he doesn't use his full power to slap Huang, the strength of his blow is heavy enough.

The print of Zheng Luo's five fingers appears clearly on Huang's old pale face and then half of his face becomes swollen like a hog face.

"According to the tribe's law, one jokes or gossip about other people, slap!"

Bang

"According to the tribe's laws, one gets above himself, slap!"

Bang

"According to the tribe's laws, one calls white black, slap!"

Bang

"According to the tribe's laws……"

Bang

Every slap causes a spray of blood. Fang s.h.i.+vers when he sees it.

This……this……

This is not what he has imagined. Zheng Luo is regarded as a punching bag and he seems to have lived with it. How could he dare to slap lord Huang?

Fang cannot understand that Zheng Luo doesn't want to dispute with the servants.

Now, many of Luo's young people crowd the doorway and witness Zheng Luo's behavior. They feel astonished and good as well.

Ge Huang has done many irritating things and almost regards himself as the lord of Luo family, for he has good relations.h.i.+p with Chengyun Luo. Some of Luo's collateral offspring are irritated by him but they try to smooth their anger because of Chengyun Luo and the second branch of Luo family. But Ge Huang becomes more arrogant only because they tolerate his offence all the time.

It is really a good thing someone can teach him a lesson.

But……

Those young men know clearly that the reason why Huang, a nonfamily servant, can be so arrogant is his relations.h.i.+p with Chengyun Luo.

Ge Huang has never shown his arrogance before the people of the second branch and the third branch. He flatters them and gains their favor.

Zheng Luo is a servant now and he will be in big trouble for he smacks Huang.

It is no doubt that Zheng Luo will face trouble……

Zheng Luo gives Ge Huang dozens of slaps and finally stops. Ge Huang's face has already been covered with blood, and it is hard to distinguish between his nose and mouth. His grey hair is dispersed, which makes him look like a ghost.

Ge Huang says vaguely, "you, you'd better be careful……"

Zheng Luo gives Huang a final slap before he could say his words fully. Ge Huang lies on the ground rolling his eyes up and faints.

Finis.h.i.+ng beating Ge Huang, Zheng Luo turns his attention to Fang.

Fang sees Zheng Luo's eyes and s.h.i.+vers uncontrollably. He steps back and claims, "Zheng Luo! You are only a domestic servant!"

"What happens to the domestic servant?" Zheng Luo walks towards Fang.

"How could a domestic servant hit his superior!" Fang says.

"What is superior? What is inferior? My family name is Luo, although I am a domestic. And I am stronger than you! So I am the superior!"

Zheng Luo catches Fang and slaps him. Because of his great power, those servants cannot rebel against him. Zheng Luo renders them a dozen of slaps.

Hearing the sounds of slap, those young people feel not so good. They can imagine the pain of Fang.

Zheng Luo throws Fang at Ge Huang and both of them cry painfully. Zheng Luo says, "Remember the lesson I teach you and remember the feeling of pain. Know what can be done and what can not be done!"

After his words he turns away and walks away from the yard. When he reaches the doorway, the young people and servants scatter.
