Chapter 4 - Been too Long

Zhu Jiao walked in front of the both of them as he cocked his head.

"Err… Can I just check, what am I apologising for?"

The youth behind his uncle took a step forward as he shouted loudly!

"You don't know what you're apologising for? Of course you're apologising for…."

He instantly turned around and asked his father

"What exactly is he apologising for dad?"

Lin er's face turned red as he pointed towards Zhu Jiao as he shouted.

"Of course this wastrel is apologising for…."

Zhu Jiao's eyes lit up green as he smirked as he watched the two of them get confused and lose all their composure and thoughts.

- As someone who hates homework, Zhu Jiao developed this ability when he was younger in school, removing the short term memory of the teachers, to avoid getting scolding. He does it so often that it becomes a reflex action.

The head of the Yang family shook his head as he spoke up,

"He doesn't need to kneel and apologise. Let's talk, I know that your grandfather and I made a promise that our first child of our first sons would be brothers or sisters if they were the same gender and husband and wife if they are of a different gender, but my granddaughter has made up her mind and…"

"Let's go home grandpa, it's okay…"

Yang Yan immediately rushed forwards and held on to her grandfather's hand and tried to pull him away.

"What do you mean…..?"

The head of the Yang family looked confused and stared at Yang Yan in confusion.

Yang Yan blushed as she looked on the ground, giving off the vibe of a shy maiden. Zhu Jiao's cousin at the side started blushing as well at the sight of her.

"Do I have to say it? I'm still going to marry him…"

Zhu Jiao's face shone a bright shade of red, before it started dissipating?

"That's not how it's supposed to go? Wtf? You're supposed to scold me and say that I'm not worthy of you. I'll tear the engagement paper and tell you that you'll regret it! Now I have to look for motivation to get stronger. Damn it" He mumbled to himself.

"We're leaving now! I'll see you again Lin Dong. I'll send some of my chefs to learn of the kar soo from your chefs."

Yang Yan immediately left pulling her grandfather along as they left the hall.

Snapping out of his thoughts he immediately turned and shouted,

"It's Katsu! Damn it!"

Lin Er and his son stood there confused at all that happened. They turned towards Zhu Jiao and wanted to get an answer out of him.

Zhu Jiao shrugged and mumbled under his breath. "Don't look at me, you can't even do your jobs well now you're making me troubled."

Lin Er and his son stood there even more confused than before as Zhu Jiao stepped out of the door walking out into the main street.

"Damn it nothing is falling into plan! I can't believe it, 4 chapters in and there still isn't much of a face slapping scene. I need to get it done!"

Walking out into the main street Zhu Jiao looked around trying to see if anything was going on if he could butt in and make himself a target. He shook his head as he lifted his finger and pointed to the air before bringing it down and putting it on his forehead. Waves of light spread out from his forehead as he opened his eyes and it lit up blue.

Using his psychic waves Zhu Jiao can use his far sight to look at everything from a birds eye view with a 5 km radius. This ability first manifested as a kid when his parents lost him at a crowded theme park. Young Zhu Jiao was too lazy to walk around and find his parents so this ability manifested.

"HAH! Got it! Let's roll" Zhu Jiao immediately jumped into the air floating across several rooftops before landing in an alleyway. "Hehehe, it's face slapping time."

In a dark alleyway an old beggar is taking a swig of his alcohol from his calabash, chugging down every ounce of his delicious rice wine.

'Crash!'

Zhu Jiao landed beside the beggar, startling the beggar so badly he almost dropped his calabash. The contents of his calabash spilled out and landed on the shoes of our Zhu Jiao.

"Mr Immortal sir, I'm sorry for dirtying your clothes, I'll clean it up!" The beggar got on his knees and tried to wipe the shoes of Zhu Jiao.

"No problem man, I'm not an immortal either." Zhu Jiao smiled as he walked away out to the main street.

----

Looking at Zhu Jiao's silhouette vanishing into the distance, the beggar spat on the ground.

"Pui!"

"I can't believe I sucked up to a regular guy! This rice wine must have been some amazing stuff."

The beggar turned around and wandered back to his corner, but before he could do that he tripped over uneven ground and fell face first.

Sitting up and rubbing his knees and elbows he looked at the ground and saw that he tripped over a crack. Following the crack he found 2 indents on the ground in the shape of shoes.

"Damn it, this drink must really be spiked, how can a normal human do this?"

----

Zhu Jiao excitedly walked out to the main road, a distance away a large procession of people on horses and fierce guards leading the way.

"Hide! Close your stores! Get out of the way! The young master of the Long family is coming!" Someone from the crowd there exclaimed.

Zhu Jiao's eyes lit up with a shade of blue as he peered into the mind of the man who was shouting, his lips curved upwards into a smile.

"Here's my chance finally! Looks like this young master is the kind that treats people badly and always gets away with everything. Let's play it cool, how should I approach the situation."

Zhu Jiao looked around as the procession came closer and closer.

"Get out of the way! Young master Long is passing by!" A guard in front shouted as they moved closer and closer towards Zhu Jiao.

Zhu Jiao's eyes met with a girl standing at a corner looking down on the ground.

"Hehe! Here we go, yeet!"

Zhu Jiao made a grasping motion and pulled the girl with his,

- A skill he picked up after he reached the peak of his laziness. Lying on his bed he would be too lazy to move to even take his food so his Psychokinesis manifested and allowed him to easily get what he needed to get from wherever he needed to get it from.

The poor girl lost her balance and fell onto the road, blocking the path of the huge procession of the young master of the Long family.

"YOU BRAT! HOW DARE YOU BLOCK THE WAY OF YOUNG MASTER LONG!"

The young girl on the floor looked up with fear in the eyes as she stared at the large guard who wanted to kick her out of the way.
