Chapter 150 Communication
“Of course,” the man named Awei stepped forward first. “Who wants to go first?”
Upon seeing this scene, the two brothers both looked at Xu Yao.
Seeing the looks in the eyes of these two guys, Xu Yao shook his head helplessly.
Oh well, let him be. It's really not a big deal.
When he saw that it was Xu Yao who came up, Awei laughed.
"Seriously? Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
"Whether it's good or not, why don't you try my fist and see?"
After saying that, Xu Yao threw a punch at Awei.
Upon seeing Xu Yao's movement, Awei's pupils suddenly contracted. He quickly used both hands to defend himself.
However, the moment his hands touched Xu Yao's fists, he couldn't help but stagger backward.
Before he could even regain his footing, Xu Yao charged at him again.
With a bang, the punch landed on Ah Wei, slamming him to the ground.
Amid the pain, Ah Wei couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.
He can't even stand up now, so he's no longer qualified to fight Xu Yao. He's lost completely.
Xu Yao chuckled and sheathed his longsword: "I've learned a lot."
Upon seeing this, Zhang Xiaomei's parents applauded.
“Excellent, truly excellent. To have such strength at such a young age, and you’re just a follower. The three of you will surely achieve great things in the future.”
Du Cheng and Du Gong, unashamed, laughed at the two men.
At that moment, Zhang Xiaomei's father coughed lightly, and his expression became serious.
He stared intently at Du Gong.
"Uncle, what's wrong?"
"Du Gong, you should start addressing me differently now. Just call me Father from now on."
Zhang Xiaomei's parents exchanged a glance and then smiled gently.
"I can pretty much guess why you've come today. You must be here to propose, right? When do you want to get married? Has the date been set yet?"
"What?" Du Cheng and Du Gong were both stunned when they heard this.
Du Cheng looked on with envy, jealousy, and hatred, and was about to stuff a handkerchief into his mouth and bite it.
Du Gong looked incredibly happy.
Love comes too fast, like a tornado.
After the initial euphoria, Du Gong suddenly felt dejected.
"To be honest, I didn't come here to propose marriage. I haven't completed my apprenticeship yet, and my return this time is due to my master's arrangement."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaomei's father waved his hand and said, "There's no rush. It's been almost two years already, and my daughter has been waiting for you for almost three years. Even if you have to go back to the mountain later, it's not a big deal to give my daughter a proper status for now."
Du Gong nodded upon hearing this.
"How about this: after you finish your mission this time, you two can get married, okay?"
Du Gong was taken aback. "This... I really hadn't thought of that."
As he spoke, he glanced at Zhang Xiaomei, who was covering her mouth and chuckling, and said, "But I think it's pretty good."
Zhang Xiaomei's father nodded: "Alright, it's settled then."
At this moment, Du Cheng looked like he was about to break down.
"Ugh, the older sister next door is getting married to my brother. I should celebrate with them, but..."
Du Cheng pointed to his heart. "It hurts so much here. Brother Xu, can I lean on your shoulder?"
After saying that, Du Cheng tried to stick close to Xu Yao.
Xu Yao, annoyed, shoved Du Cheng out.
Du Gong suddenly wants to get married, something he never even imagined.
Although it's a good thing, it's still more important to get down to business.
Thinking this, Xu Yao looked at Zhang Xiaomei's parents.
"Gentlemen, have you heard anything about what has happened in Qinghe Village recently?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaomei's parents exchanged a glance.
"I know, but not much."
Zhang Xiaomei's father sighed, "I don't know what's been happening lately, but in the area north of the village, I heard that some people witnessed monsters appearing and killing dozens of people. I also heard that some strange secret realm has appeared."
"However, things have been much quieter lately. After all, some people have hired people to hunt magical beasts, and they've killed quite a few. And I've heard that a considerable number of people are also actively searching for the location of the secret realm."
"I don't know the details, but there's a tavern south of the village entrance. You can go there and ask around."
According to Zhang Xiaomei's father, the tavern was usually packed with people, and now it was even busier. It was truly a place where all sorts of people mingled.
Moreover, I've heard that this tavern openly sells information that people need, so it's likely that the place knows something.
However, Zhang Xiaomei's father had almost no contact with that tavern, and he knew nothing else about it.
Upon hearing this, Xu Yao nodded.
"Du Cheng, Du Gong, it's time for us to set off."
Du Cheng nodded, but Du Gong was still immersed in a sea of happiness, his blissful expression practically overflowing with love.
With a loud slap, Xu Yao gave Du Gong a slap across the face.
"That's enough for now. The sooner you finish, the sooner you can get married. Then you can do whatever you want with your wife, right? Can't you hurry up?"
Du Gong then came to his senses and nodded repeatedly, following behind Xu Yao.
As the three left, Zhang Xiaomei's mother exclaimed, "Truly, heroes emerge from among the young! These three children are all full of heroic spirit."
"Old man, which of the three do you think will be the most outstanding in the future?"
Zhang Xiaomei's father silently pointed at Xu Yao, "Him."
"Him? Isn't he just a lackey? How can he compare to Du Cheng and Du Gong?"
"I know those two lads, Du Cheng and Du Gong, too well. Haven't they bragged a lot?"
"This kid is outstanding in appearance. Although he usually keeps a low profile, his sharp edge is fully revealed when he's in battle. That's what makes him a fearsome guy."
Zhang Xiaomei's father stroked his beard as he said this, "If possible, I would like to marry my daughter to him."
"Dad~" Zhang Xiaomei said coquettishly.
"I was just saying, don't take it seriously. Father knows you and Du Gong are truly in love, he definitely won't break you up. Hasn't he already proposed marriage to you?"
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaomei laughed happily once again.
Ah Wei, who was standing to the side, pondered for a while before shouting out as if he had suddenly realized something.
"Damn it, those two brats tricked me again?"
"Could it be that I didn't beat the weakest one, but actually the strongest of the three?"
Zhang Xiaomei's father gave Awei a look that seemed to say, "You only understand now? Isn't it a little too late?"
"Damn it, I was even a little embarrassed after losing. When that brat Du Gong gets married, I'm going to make sure he drinks himself to death!"
