Zhang San, please behave yourself!

Chapter 154: Chapter 152: What if my daughter is free? Then haven’t I.. made a fortune!

After returning to the Town Martial Office, Principal Officer Ximen immediately summoned his deputy and asked him to help him write a letter.

The deputy knew that the handwriting of his boss, Principal Officer Ximen, was just like his appearance: honest and upright, but too ugly. Therefore, many times, official documents and personal letters of Principal Officer Ximen were ghostwritten by him.

However, this time, as Principal Officer Ximen dictated and he began to write, the deputy felt something was amiss after just a few sentences.

"Principal Officer, if you write like this, won’t the young mistress shred Zhang San to pieces when she arrives?"

Seeing that the Principal Officer seemed not to realize the severity of the situation, the deputy patiently persuaded him, "Principal Officer, don’t forget, the young mistress has never liked to listen to you since she was little, and now that she’s grown up, she’s even more... What is that word? Rebellious? Plotting a huge betrayal? Anyway, she loves to contradict you!"

Principal Officer Ximen snorted disdainfully.

"What does she know! That man is the Pharaoh’s closed-door disciple! It’s very likely he could be the future leader of Legalism!"

"Moreover, that Zhang San has completed the Secret Technique of our Ximen Family, the ’Tiger’s Life Spirit Gang,’ a feat none of our generations have achieved!"

"I’ve just reviewed it too, not just superficially, he truly comprehended the entire Secret Technique. The completed technique has no problems at all. After all, the technique I practiced was my own flawed completion, which is why it’s difficult for me to cultivate further."

"But Jin Xiang is still young. If she cultivates according to the technique completed by Zhang San, her strength will surely become even greater!"

The deputy felt Principal Officer Ximen still wasn’t grasping his point.

"Principal Officer, you know the temperament of the young mistress. If you talk to her like this, saying Zhang San is good, telling her to interact more and consider more, she definitely won’t give it any thought. Besides..."

"Zhang San looks cunning at a glance. Like you, the young mistress is straightforward, and even more naive. What if she’s deceived by Zhang San after she arrives, and then gets taken advantage of? What then?"

Despite not taking much notice of what was said earlier, the latter words made Principal Officer Ximen fall into contemplation.

Seeing that his boss was finally taking his advice, the deputy let out a sigh of relief.

He certainly didn’t want the young mistress to come over. Not to mention Zhang San; just the young mistress and the Principal Officer arguing every day was enough to exhaust him from mediating.

Madam, why did you leave so early, leaving behind such troubles for me to deal with?

Even though I’m her uncle, dealing with your father-daughter temperaments is too much!

At that moment, Principal Officer Ximen pulled his deputy up from the side of the desk, sat down himself, and tore up the original letter.

Then Principal Officer Ximen, with a bold stroke of his pen, began to write a letter to his daughter himself.

As the deputy read the content of Principal Officer Ximen’s letter, he was completely flabbergasted.

Previously, although Principal Officer Ximen had praised Zhang San in the letter, suggesting that the young mistress come to learn from him, his tone and attitude were still polite.

Now, the letter directly started with personal attacks!

From extolling Zhang San as smart, resourceful, and courageous to mentioning that even the Female Sect Master of the Purple Mansion Realm would not be worthy of his attention, let alone being the favored closed-door disciple of the Pharaoh.

If it had only said these things, it could still be considered as reasonable, but, inevitably, Principal Officer Ximen paired his praise for Zhang San with a depreciation of the young mistress.

From being ignorant and uneducated to having a crude temperament, he even said that the young mistress’s strength in the Capital was just due to others giving way to her; if she truly went to Chuan-Yu Road, she wouldn’t even be fit to carry Zhang San’s trousers!

Such an audacious tone, such a vile attitude, such angry emotions, and such intense words!

It made the deputy wonder if the young mistress was actually Principal Officer Ximen’s biological child.

Especially when Principal Officer Ximen finished the entire letter in one go, admired it, and then added one more line at the end—You, who are proud in the True Core Realm, come to Chuan-Yu Road and start from scratch as a martial artist for me! Stop bringing shame to the Ximen Family every single day!

After writing the last sentence, Principal Officer Ximen’s face showed a satisfied smile.

The deputy felt as though he could already see the young mistress tearing the letter to shreds and then, grabbing the Octagonal Plum Blossom Bright Silver Hammer, storming off toward Chuan-Yu Road from her boudoir.

"Brother-in-law, are you hoping Zhang San doesn’t die and instead want to use the young lady’s hammer as a means to kill?"

Principal Officer Ximen burst into hearty laughter and said, "What do you know? This girl has been opposing me since she was a child. So, I have to do the opposite with her! I say she’s not good and praise others, do you think she can tolerate that? The more I like something, the more she will want to smash it!"

"After seeing this letter, she will definitely come. And after she arrives, she will surely target Zhang San!"

The deputy officer said with a worried face, "I know that! I’m just concerned that instead of her targeting Zhang San, she’ll end up being targeted by Zhang San."

Principal Officer Ximen smiled and said in a low voice, "I’m her grandfather; how could I not understand her temperament? Although she always opposes me, if she really meets someone who can impress her, who knows what might happen."

"She can’t outwit Zhang San. When the time comes, she’ll just have to wait and be dealt with by Zhang San."

Upon hearing this, the deputy officer was taken aback.

"But what if the young mistress ends up really liking Zhang San after she arrives?"

When Principal Officer Ximen heard this, he laughed out loud.

"Wouldn’t that be a huge gain!"

Hearing this, the deputy officer turned pale.

Is this really how a father should act?

What a big heart he has!

After Zhang San returned to the Town Martial Office, he reported his leave and then came back to visit Big Head Wang.

So much time had passed, yet Big Head Wang was still in a coma.

Fortunately, Wang Ziteng was also there, so Zhang San immediately asked about Big Head Wang’s condition.

Wang Ziteng pulled Zhang San aside, and said in a low voice, "I have invited many famous doctors to examine him, and they all say that it’s remarkable that Big Head Wang has managed to hold onto his life given that his brain was injured."

Zhang San sighed deeply.

After all, Bai Yucheng’s sword had pierced into the back of his head and come out through his right eye.

Missing an eye was still okay, as long as his life was spared.

But to keep lying in a coma like a vegetable was no good!

At that moment, a deputy officer with a worried face arrived at the entrance and asked, "Is Zhang San here?"

"Yes."

"Zhang San, Principal Officer Ximen requests your presence."

Zhang San followed the deputy officer outside and saw Principal Officer Ximen standing at the entrance of his own courtyard, smiling at him genially.

For some reason, ever since he had said "Why should a man like a woman" to Principal Officer Ximen, Zhang San felt that Principal Officer Ximen’s gaze towards him had turned strange.

And he kept inquiring about what kind of woman he liked.

Wait a minute!

Bai Yucheng had been very good to him, but in the end, Bai Yucheng’s heart was even darker than Big Head Wang’s complexion.

Now Principal Officer Ximen was also being very good to him—could this guy have some special kind of fetish?

"Zhang San, what’s wrong? You look... uncomfortable?" asked Principal Officer Ximen with concern.

Zhang San smiled and shook his head, saying, "Nothing, just a bit of diarrhea today."
