Chapter 288 - Old Master Vs Uncle Hai
Upon hearing the remark, Old Master broke into a confident smile.
“Rest assured, the Jade King's safety is in good hands with my grandson Jiang Hao. He's even safer with him than with us here!”
Old Master's words brimmed with unwavering confidence in his grandson.
Uncle Hai, taken aback, pondered the meaning behind Old Master's statement.
Especially the last part, ‘The Jade King's safety is even more secure with my grandson than with us.'
Uncle Hai mulled it over. Was Old Master implying that Jiang Hao's strength surpassed both of ours combined?
At that moment, the exchange between Old Master and Uncle Hai left everyone baffled.
Only the Jade King seemed to have an inkling of the truth.
The Jade King glanced at Old Master, then at Uncle Hai, and quickly grasped the situation.
With everything said, Uncle Hai found himself in a quandary and looked to Soong Wanzhong for guidance.
“Master, your thoughts?”
Soong Wanzhong, observing Uncle Hai and Old Master, then replied,
“If Jiang Old Master holds you in such high regard, why not spend some time chatting with him?”
“As for my safety, Jiang Old Master has spoken. There's no need for concern!”
Old Master, upon hearing this, turned to Uncle Hai with a smile.
“See, even the Jade King agrees. Let's be on our way!”
With that, he addressed the crowd with a brief remark before departing.
“Don't fret, this young man and I will return shortly!”
After a moment's hesitation, Uncle Hai made his decision, addressing Old Master respectfully,
“Then Feng shall follow your lead with due respect!”
He then turned to the Jade King, saying,
“Master, we'll return shortly!”
The Jade King nodded in acknowledgment.
“My apologies, everyone. We'll be back soon!”
With that, Uncle Hai followed suit, and the two of them departed in succession.
The crowd remained perplexed.
“Don't worry, folks. Old Master and Da Hai may have hit it off from the start!”
“They'll return before you know it!”
“Now, what I'm really eager to find out is when we'll get to enjoy Jiang nephew's delectable dishes! I'm growing impatient!”
The Jade King's words lightened the mood.
……
Meanwhile, Old Master and Uncle Hai descended the stairs and made their way to a secluded spot.
Old Master, with a smile, turned to Uncle Hai.
“Little brother, you're a martial cultivator as well?”
Instead of answering, Uncle Hai turned his gaze to the Old Master and posed a question of his own.
“Is Master Jiang a martial cultivator too?”
Their exchange sparked a mutual anticipation in their eyes.
Without further ado, each assumed a starting position.
In an instant, they began to spar.
At that moment, the Old Master was like a man in his prime, his punches generating gusts of wind, causing the leaves on the ground to dance as if in sync with his movements.
He exuded an aura of undeniable dominance.
Uncle Hai's face took on a grave expression at the sight.
He had thought he'd overestimated the Old Master, but now it was clear that the Old Master was even stronger than he'd anticipated.
It was no surprise he had sensed a lethal threat emanating from the Old Master.
As the Old Master launched his attack, Uncle Hai moved with exceptional agility, engaging in a fluid combat dance with the Old Master.
In just moments, they had exchanged dozens of moves!
But then, Uncle Hai suddenly retreated several steps and ceased fighting.
Staring at the Old Master, Uncle Hai's forehead was slick with cold sweat, his complexion turning a shade paler.
“Master Jiang, I admit defeat,” he conceded.
“You had at least four opportunities to take me down with a single move. I am thoroughly convinced!”
Seeing Uncle Hai withdraw, the Old Master, still yearning for more, reluctantly stopped as well.
Hearing Uncle Hai's admission, the Old Master responded with a chuckle.
“No need for such formalities. We were just sparring, after all. There's no question of winning or losing here!”
