"Please, this way."
Samuel's voice came from outside the loft. Marco came back to his senses. Then he saw Master Xiang leading an old and a young man over.
The old man wore sackcloth and was a hunchback. But Marco had experienced a lot, so he could tell at a glance that the old man was a strong warrior.
The young man was about thirty years old. He was burly with big eyes. He was wearing a black vest. Besides, his sturdy arms were bulging like old tree roots, which was shocking.
"Father, this is Master Young, right?" Marco walked quickly to them and greeted friendly.
Samuel nodded, "Yes, this is Master Young. This is Master Young's apprentice, Seth Clarke. Although he is very young, he is very powerful."
"Hahaha, Master Young, Seth, please sit down."
The four were seated and drank the tea.
Samuel said, "Master Young, thank you for coming here to help me this time."
The old man nodded, his voice hoarse, "Never mind. I've already entered Earth List. Even if I'm the bottom of Earth List, not everyone can't beat me."
"Master Xiang, don't worry. I can settle everything." Seth looked arrogant.
"Seth, you shouldn't take the enemy lightly."
Marco was worried. This time, it seemed that the Lloyd family was full prepared.
In Jinling, the Xiang family and the Lloyd family had been always against each other. As Master Xiang got older and worse, the Lloyd family took actions frequently.
Today, at Master Xiang's birthday party, the Lloyd family would definitely make a move.
Fortunately, the Lloyd family didn't know that Master Xiang's illness had been cured. As long as Master Xiang got through a period of recovery, he could cultivate again and even make further progress.
By then, the Xiang family would still be the top family in Jinling.
...
Outfield, a small fish pond.
Katherine looked at Charlie getting fish one after another, and said angrily, "Why do fish like to eat your bait? They don’t even come to bite my bait."
"Even the fish is obsessed by me."
"Get over yourself."
Katherine pouted and inadvertently noticed that May and her old boyfriend came to them slowly.
Katherine frowned. Then May said, "Miss Hunt, after fishing for long, don't you feel tired?"
"If you have something to say, just say it quickly. Don't disturb me fishing."
May chuckled and said, "I heard that you two were stopped just now when you was going to go to the infield. You said that it was Marco who personally invited you, which made you embarrassed."
"If you came to taunt me deliberately, I have already received it. Now, you can disappear." Katherine continued to fish with a cold face.
"No, no, no. I just want to say that my boyfriend can bring one more person in besides me. If you want to come in, you can follow me."
May said, looking at Charlie, "But your husband can only stay here to fish. It seemed that he is good at it. He can catch more fish and take them home."
Although there was no dirty word in May's words, it sounded harsh and uncomfortable. The meaning of sarcasm was obvious.
Katherine ignored her. Charlie didn't bother to take a look.
Not far away, a man in Chinese clothes looked at this side with interest. A servant next to him was saying something.
"I help you but you refuse it? Who do you think you are?" May showed her real face. After sneering, she held the man with a big belly to the infield.
As soon as she left here, the man in Chinese clothes appeared next to Katherine.
"Katherine."
"Huh? Charles, it's you."
Katherine was slightly surprised, and then became indifferent.
Charlie, who was fishing, also looked up. Their eyes happened to meet with each other. Charles's face was gloomy, pretending to be angry.
He said, "I heard the servants say that you want to enter the infield. Charlie, you are so stupid. How could you make up such a ridiculous lie? Marco personally invited you? You’re fine with it. But Katherine is laughed at by everyone."
After Charles finished speaking, he said softly to Katherine, "Katherine, if you want to go in, follow me. I’m here with you. No one dares to laugh at you!"
"Only bring one person?"
"Of course."
Katherine shook her head, "I won't go."
Charles laughed, "I am kidding. It's okay to bring two people in. Charlie, come together."
After speaking, Charles got up and went away.
Charlie, who had been fishing all the time, looked unhappy. This crazy behavior of hitting on his wife made him very annoyed.
Originally, he was going to leave. The way of receiving him from the Xiang family had already made him to lose some of his only good impression on the Xiang family.
However, watching Katherine look at the infield from time to time, his heart softened, "Let's go. Let's go to the infield to take a look."
"Charlie, I am not..."
