ch 367 - Saw Through; Finishing Up With Constructions 2 (2/2)

Cheng Bihua was not young anymore, but he had always been spoiled since he was a child and has always have his ways within the Cheng’s, so he still has a very unruly personality, always just doing what came to his mind. He had further been named the next Housemaster by the First Elder, so over time, even his respect for Cheng Yutang was slowly fading away.

“How dare you!” shouted Cheng Yutang.

“Well, I am telling the truth!” Cheng Bihua knew that his dad wouldn’t do anything out of line in front of the First Elder, so he wasn’t worried of his dad right now.

“Alright…” The First Elder cast a nonchalant look at Cheng Yutang. After seeing that he had lowered his head, he turned back to Cheng Bihua and asked gently, “Well, where do you want to go this time?”

“First Elder, Bihua would like to pay a visit to Willows. I heard that Eleventh Elder was there already, so I thought…”

“Shut up! You ungrateful thing!”

Cheng Yutang let out a loud cry and swing his arm. SLAP!!! And it landed squarely on the cheek of the overexcited Cheng Bihua.

Cheng Bihua, his face now burning from the pain, shouted out, “Dad, why did you slap me?”

“Goddamn it, I am going to beat you to death. You never wanted to cultivate, just hang around all day long doing nothing. You want to stick your hand into every pot, and all you do is bring about more chaos. What else do you…..”

Frantic from anger, Cheng Yutang shouted at his son standing in front of him, looking like he was hopeless.

At this moment, First Elder, who was still sitting at his seat, was no longer looking tender at all. Coldly, he looked at the palm print that was now showing on Cheng Bihua’s face, as though he was trying to sear it into his memory.

On the other hand, Cheng Bihua was clueless why his father just slapped him. He was frightened and confused, and he cried up in discontent, “This wouldn’t be the first time I go and cause trouble at Willows, why can’t I go?”

“Because I said so!” Shouted Cheng Yutang. He turned around and, sure enough, saw that First Elder’s look was dark and cold. He immediately added, “First Elder, don’t worry. I would not let him head to Willows. I shall make him go back to cultivating behind closed doors!”
