Chapter 995: Chapter 989 Old Master Han

Hearing Han Zifeng’s words, Lu Tianxing’s face looked odd, focusing on cultivating moral character?

If it were someone else saying this, he might believe it, but if Old Master Han from the Han Family said it, he wouldn’t believe a word. In his memory, Old Master Han was a hot-tempered person, the kind who would explode at the slightest spark. If he really was cultivating moral character, he would have done so already, and Han Zifeng wouldn’t act like a mouse seeing a cat when meeting his own grandpa.

Just as Lu Tianxing was about to speak, he heard an elderly voice coming from the bamboo house: ”You little rascal, go a few days without a beating and now you’re tearing the roof off, huh? Daring to talk about me like this. Do you believe me if I say I’ll punish you by making you clean all the Han Family’s toilets?”

As the elderly voice came from within, a white-haired old man emerged from the bamboo house. Although his face looked old, his back was straight, exuding a robust military aura, clearly indicating this old man was once in the military.

Seeing this old man come out, Han Zifeng shrank his neck like a mouse meeting a cat, grinning sheepishly as he said, ”Grandpa, why did you come out? I was just saying that living here is wonderful and has such depth, like an ancient hermit. One day, I’ll wanna learn from you.”

”Hmph, if only you did learn from me. You’re young and all you’d think about every day is chasing girls. I’m warning you, I’ll give you one more year. After a year, you have to obediently marry and carry on the Han Family line. Otherwise, I’ll have someone drag you to the bridal chamber at gunpoint.” Old Master Han glared at Han Zifeng and snorted.

Lu Tianxing was accustomed to this scene, having previously accompanied Han Zifeng and experienced Old Master Han’s temper, so he wasn’t surprised at all.

Rose was a bit dumbfounded watching this scene unfold, not expecting someone living in such a serene place to have such a fiery temper, threatening to drag his grandson to the bridal chamber at gunpoint. Wasn’t that a bit extreme?

Hearing his grandpa, Han Zifeng’s face fell: ”Grandpa, you... you know this is the 21st century. We value free love, forced marriages aren’t sweet, and love doesn’t come just because you want it to...”

”Nonsense.”

Before Han Zifeng could finish, Old Master Han interrupted: ”I don’t care about your free love or whatever. I’m telling you straight, if you don’t bring home a bride in a year, I’ll personally arrange several marriages for you. Run, and I’ll break your legs. Our Han Family can afford a cripple, hmph.”

After hearing his grandpa, Han Zifeng’s face turned even more bitter, so he changed the subject: ”Grandpa, there are guests here, can’t you save face for me?”

”Why should I save face for you? Hmph, don’t think I don’t know who he is. Military Knife, he came to our Han Family with you before, that dark and lean guy. Hmph, just saying it makes me angry. At least you got your father’s genes, yet no wife. Look at him, back then, looking dark and skinny, but he found such a beautiful wife, and look at you, all alone. You embarrass me. If you weren’t my grandson, I’d slap you to death.” Old Master Han spoke bluntly.

Hearing Old Master Han’s words, Lu Tianxing could only helplessly rub his nose, unable to refute, since back in the army, Old Master Han was pretty much his superior’s superior, and he’d been reprimanded by him more than once, so he was used to it.

Rose listened to Old Master Han and blinked, her gaze curiously falling on Lu Tianxing, as if trying to see what made him so thin, though the dark skin was real. A soldier without a bronzed complexion would indeed be an embarrassment.

”Hmph, there’s nothing more for you here, hurry on out.”

Relieved to hear his grandpa’s words, Han Zifeng gave Lu Tianxing a farewell glance and swiftly left.

”Old Sir Han,” Lu Tianxing said, turning to Old Master Han after Han Zifeng left.

Old Master Han, hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, looked him up and down, sighed, and said, ”Military Knife, you’ve changed.”

”Old Sir Han, you’re joking. Nothing in this world stays the same. Anyone would change, and I’m no exception,” Lu Tianxing said with a smile.

”Yes, anyone would change.”

Old Master Han sighed. When he met Lu Tianxing for the first time, Lu Tianxing was thin, but radiated the toughness of a soldier. Now, although Lu Tianxing still carries a trace of military demeanor, it’s now tinged with a bloody aura. Not a single member of the Wang Family survived; the old Lu Tianxing would never have done that.

”Military Knife, are you interested in playing a game of chess with this old man?” Old Master Han suddenly asked, looking at Lu Tianxing.

Lu Tianxing nodded and said, ”Well, how could I refuse your invitation!”

”This way, please.”

Old Master Han led the way into the bamboo house.

”Rose, let’s go in.”

Lu Tianxing glanced at Rose, nodded, and the two followed Old Master Han into the bamboo house.

Nestled near the pond was a pavilion made of bamboo. Old Master Han was already seated inside, with a chessboard set in front of him, ready for a game of Chinese chess.

Lu Tianxing walked over, sat down without hesitation opposite Old Master Han, and said slowly, ”Old sir, my chess skills are unrefined. If I can’t entertain you, I hope you won’t mind.”

”Less talk. Come on, you take red, you make the first move.”

”In that case, old sir, I won’t hold back.”

Lu Tianxing didn’t waste words, immediately getting into the game. Though not a frequent player nor a grandmaster, he wasn’t a novice either. Facing Old Master Han, Lu Tianxing chose pure offense rather than just defending. To him, the best defense was a strong offense.

Lu Tianxing’s strategy made Old Master Han frown slightly. He invited Lu Tianxing for a chess game intending to gauge his character. A person’s true nature is like their chess game; character might be hidden, but chess style is hard to disguise.

Faced with Lu Tianxing’s fierce attack, Old Master Han balanced both defense and offense, like Tai Chi, seamless and well-guarded. For a time, the two exchanged moves back and forth, with few pieces remaining on the board.
