Volume 10 Chapter 14: Leave It Up To Fate
“Understood! Let us go now!” As that was said, Long Qiqiang and Shinzo had to grab Keith and drag him out. Yes, drag. The man himself was refusing to leave, wanting to continue to pick a fight against those elders! With the help of the others, he was quickly moved out.
“What is wrong with you?!”
“Keith! You can't go off like that!” What was this guy thinking?! Long Lihua had lost her cool when she saw what he did.
“Do you know who you were exploding on?!” Even Long Qiqiang and Shinzo were too shocked to say anything during that situation.
“You were talking down to the elders like that?! You’re one insane kid!” That was something no one had expected as they talked. Keith was daring. However, no one had thought he would be daring enough to go on a rage!
Keith shook his head, “I just don’t like it that they were talking down to us like it was our fault.” It really didn’t sit well with him. They were the ones who asked for help, not the other way around. Since Cadmus gave his guarantee, that should help out. So it didn’t sit well as they continued to look down at them.
“Sorry about what had occurred.” Long Lihua quickly apologized. When they thought about it, it was pretty unfair in Keith’s situation. Anyone would be mad getting badmouthed in the face.
Keith waved, “I don’t care so much about that.”
“Really?” Last time I checked, you almost picked a fight with the people who were the highest authority!
“Those elders need to tone it down with their haughty attitude. If they did that to Cadmus, they would probably be sent flying across the island.”
“...” The four gulped when they heard that. Carolyn and Krystal could imagine that happening. One simple thing could ignite the dragon. He was just as bad as this man here.
“For now, we can just cool off.” Long Qiqiang sighed. Both sides needed to cool off and calm down. There was no point in gutting one another like this.
“You can stay at either one’s home. Who do you want to go to?”
“We’re not getting an inn?”
“Of course not. You’re going to live with Ayaka or me,” Long Lihua chuckled. Of course, they wouldn’t throw them into an inn.
“Does it matter?”
“Not so much. Basically, we live next to one another,” Long Lihua laughed. Essentially, the two were next-door neighbors. It really didn’t matter who they went with.
“Please come with us home,” Shinzo quickly grabbed Keith’s hand.
“Eh?”
“What? He’s going to come home with us.” Long Qiqiang’s eyes darkened as he stared. Long Lihua tilted her head, “Cousin, you don’t live with me.” Did he forget that he lived somewhere else?
“So they want the food, huh?” That was definitely on the two’s minds; their eyes said it all.
“Who are you going to choose?”
“We’ll leave it up to fate,” Keith stated as he tapped the two girls’ shoulders, “It’s up to you guys.”
“Huh?”
…
“Hmmmmm,” Long Qiqiang hummed as he walked. But as he did so, Shinzo’s expression darkened, “Stop humming; it’s annoying.”
“Is someone salty? You have to accept the fact of divine fate.”
“Sister! How could you lose?!”
“It was all about probability!” How was this her fault? Well, it was more about luck than anything. To decide who they would stay with, the two girls decided to go with rock-paper-scissors. Winner was the one who chucked rock.
“Where is this place?” Keith looked around and noticed how everything had changed. It was more traditional housing, with each one in a large quarter.
“Ahh, this place is only for those in the Long and Kazemori clan.” Long Lihua explained. This was only for the two clans.
“What the?”
“What do you expect?”
“That is not next-door neighbors! Her door is so far away!” Keith pointed the next door over. It was so far away!
“Either way, the two of us are neighbors. So see ya later,” Shinzo waved his hand; everyone could see the tears in his eyes as Ayaka dragged him away.
“Mmhmm,” Ayaka nodded as she headed into her home.
“Well, let’s-” “You’re going home as well.” Long Lihua hit her cousin. Did he forget or something?
“But-” “Young master!” That was when everyone turned around to see a couple of maids rushing over.
“Why-”
“We need you to come with us!” “Please!” Without any hesitation, he was dragged away, kicking and screaming.
“...” Everyone had no words to say about this.
“Welcome to my abode.” That was when they entered.
“So elegant,” Carolyn muttered.
Siheyuan. That was the only way to describe it. It was a traditional courtyard house. But it was on a grander scale, with the houses having two floors. Not only that, there seemed to be different gates as well.
“Should I bow or something? I feel like I should.” Krystal muttered. She felt like she had to.
“Ahh, Lihua, you’ve returned,” Everyone looked at one of the doors to see a couple before them.
“Mother, Father, I’ve returned.”
“Umm, Hello.” Keith bowed his head. Caroly and Krystal did the same as well.
“There’s no need to bow. I heard about it from Lihua; you are my guest.” Long Lihua’s father, Long Aotian, smiled. His wife, Zhu Liqin, had a cold look as she stared at them.
