“Preposterous!” Xia Xun was infuriated. “Is this how you speak to your elder? In your eyes, do you still see me as your second uncle?”

Xia Qingchen had tolerated this second uncle of his for a very long time. He coldly bit back, “Second uncle? Which second uncle from any family would arrange for their nephew to be seated at a corner and be neglected? Are there any second uncles that would allow an outsider to insult and bully their nephew like this? Would a second uncle impatiently help an outsider to blame their nephew after their nephew turned the tide of the situation?

“Stop pasting gold on your face! Who the hell you think you are? Are you even worthy to be my second uncle?” Xia Qingchen’s gaze was sharp. It was a formless, cold arrogance that seemed as though he held everything in the world in disdain.

He treated Xia Yuan as his father because Xia Yuan’s actions were worthy of the word ‘father’.

Who the hell did Xia Xun think he was? Was he even worthy of being his second uncle?

“You extremely rude thing!” Xia Xun rushed over, his posture was ready to deliver a slap.

Xia Qingchen’s words had completely caused him to lose all face.

“The one surnamed Xia, if you hit my son once, this old man will break your son’s legs.” A thunderous voice erupted forth from the crowd.

The civil and gentle-looking Xia Yuan was now like an enraged lion, staring at Xia Xun in anger.

Xia Xun glanced over. He then berated, “Xia Yuan, are you going to allow your son to commit this act of aggression?”

Everyone should understand who was the one committing an act of aggression.

Those who didn’t understand were people who spoke blindly despite their eyes being open.

“Xia Xun. Even if you are a bully, you should know when to stop!” Xia Yuan’s eyes were extremely cold. “I can tolerate the disrespect from you and your son. But I definitely cannot endure the two of you bullying my son!”

He finally spoke out the words in his heart, completely letting go of this kinship which had already ceased to exist a long time ago.

“Just with you?” Xia Xun released an aura that indicated his evidently higher cultivation base.

“My strength is indeed inferior to yours. However, if you truly antagonize me, do you think it will be difficult for me to kill your son silently in the dark?”

These words completely scared Xia Qilin who was in the crowd.

His talent was very good, but after all, his cultivation time was too short. Before an elder like Xia Yuan who had cultivated for many years, he was as weak as an ant.

If he truly was targeted by Xia Yuan, he wouldn’t dare to take even half a step out of the Northern Xia Manor.

Xia Xun felt some fear in his heart. He silently mused whether he had forced this father-and-son duo too far, actually causing Xia Yuan to be so enraged.

Now, even someone who valued relationships as much as Xia Yuan wanted to sever their brotherly relationship.

Xia Cangliu who was seated in the host seat stared at the pair of brothers that had turned to enemies, feeling extremely complicated in his heart.

Who was right, who was wrong? He saw it very clearly.

The ones in the wrong were truly Xia Xun and his son. They were too overbearing, and this was what caused the current situation.

Emotionally speaking, he ought to speak up for Xia Yuan and his son who were being wronged.

But he was an extremely pragmatic and rational person.

“Xia Yuan, bring your son along with you and leave the Xia Manor immediately!” Xia Cangliu apathetically spoke. “The two of you are too insensible, causing me to feel extreme disappointment!”

Xia Yuan stared at his father, feeling an unspeakable chill in his heart.

Clearly, he and his son were being bullied. But in the end, Xia Cangliu actually blamed them for being insensible?

Could it be that his son, Xia Qingchen, really had to be forced to the ground and learn how to bark like a dog before he, Xia Yuan, could be considered sensible?

His heart went completely cold.

“Father, take care of your body.” Xia Yuan forcibly endured his tears. He waved his hands at Xia Qingchen, telling him to come along. “Qingchen, let’s go!”

Xia Qingchen cast a deep glance at Xia Cangliu.

If one was to say that his second uncle was blind in the eye, his grandfather would then be considered blind in the heart.

His grandfather couldn’t see the true filial piety and could only see benefits, not using his hearts!

Under the stare of all the guests, Xia Qingchen left the Northern Xia Manor along with his father.
