<span style="font-weight:400">“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.
<span style="font-weight:400">“What is wrong with you?!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“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.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Do you know who you were exploding on?!” Even Long Qiqiang and Shinzo were too shocked to say anything during that situation.
<span style="font-weight:400">“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!
<span style="font-weight:400">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.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Sorry about what had urred.” 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.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith waved, “I don’t care so much about that.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Really?” Last time I checked, you almost picked a fight with the people who were the highest authority!
<span style="font-weight:400">“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 ind.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...” 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.
<span style="font-weight:400">“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.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“You can stay at either one’s home. Who do you want to go to?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“We’re not getting an inn?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“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.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Does it matter?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Not so much. Basically, we live next to one another,” Long Lihuaughed. Essentially, the two were next-door neighbors. It really didn’t matter who they went with.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Pleasee with us home,” Shinzo quickly grabbed Keith’s hand.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Eh?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“What? He’s going toe 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?
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“So they want the food, huh?” That was definitely on the two’s minds; their eyes said it all.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Who are you going to choose?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“We’ll leave it up to fate,” Keith stated as he tapped the two girls’ shoulders, “It’s up to you guys.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Huh?”
<span style="font-weight:400">…
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hmmmmm,” Long Qiqiang hummed as he walked. But as he did so, Shinzo’s expression darkened, “Stop humming; it’s annoying.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Is someone salty? You have to ept the fact of divine fate.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Sister! How could you lose?!”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“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.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Where is this ce?” Keith looked around and noticed how everything had changed. It was more traditional housing, with each one in arge quarter.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Ahh, this ce is only for those in the Long and Kazemori n.” Long Lihua exined. This was only for the two ns.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“What the?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“What do you expect?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“That is not next-door neighbors! Her door is so far away!” Keith pointed the next door over. It was so far away!
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Either way, the two of us are neighbors. So see yater,” Shinzo waved his hand; everyone could see the tears in his eyes as Ayaka dragged him away.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Mmhmm,” Ayaka nodded as she headed into her home.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Well, let’s-” “You’re going home as well.” Long Lihua hit her cousin. Did he forget or something?
<span style="font-weight:400">“But-” “Young master!” That was when everyone turned around to see a couple of maids rushing over.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Why-”
<span style="font-weight:400">“We need you toe with us!” “Please!” Without any hesitation, he was dragged away, kicking and screaming.
<span style="font-weight:400">“...” Everyone had no words to say about this.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Wee to my abode.” That was when they entered.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“So elegant,” Carolyn muttered.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">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.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Should I bow or something? I feel like I should.” Krystal muttered. She felt like she had to.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Ahh, Lihua, you’ve returned,” Everyone looked at one of the doors to see a couple before them.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Mother, Father, I’ve returned.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Umm, Hello.” Keith bowed his head. Caroly and Krystal did the same as well.
<span style="font-weight:400">“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.
