110 Trouble Has Arrived (1/2)
Dugu Zong Heng suddenly felt like he was suffocating as the surrounding air completely stopped flowing. In front of him, Jun Zhan Tian was currently giving off an enormous pressure!
He never imagined that Jun Zhan Tian would make such face over for his waste of a grandson.
Hmmph!
He opened his eyes wide as an aura erupted from his body to counter the overbearing pressure exuded by Jun Zhan Tian, not moving back even half an inch. Are you going to treat that trash like some treasure? Damn it! If I, your father, want to teach him a lesson, then consider it your grandson's good fortune! Ptui!
Jun Zhan Tian looked at him with a stern expression. ”Dugu Zong Heng, what did my grandson do to offend you? You actually had to personally get involved? You must give me an explanation for this!”
Dugu Zong Heng snorted. ”I wouldn't care if he had only offended me. I've always been a magnanimous old man; I'd just consider it as childish nonsense. At most I'd just smack his butt once and let him go! But the one thing your grandson really should not have done was to tease my baby Xiao Yi! And that little shit was brazen enough to do it! I'm telling you, Jun Zhan Tian, that your grandson is lucky that nothing has happened yet. But if something were to happen, I'm afraid that you won't even be able to find your grandson's corpse when I'm done with him!”
”If there is even one hair missing on Mo Xie, Dugu Zong Heng, I can guarantee that your Dugu Family will regret it forever!” Jun Zhan Tian glared at him with a dark expression for a long time before he spoke up.
”If anything happens to my family's Xiao Yi, Jun Zhan Tian, I can promise that your Jun Family will be worse off than my Dugu Family!” Dugu Zong Heng said coldly. He did not intend to back down and stared back at Jun Zhan Tian.
The two military big shots were standing toe to toe outside the Imperial Palace; two pairs of perfectly round eyes glared at each other as if a fight will break out at any moment. The two families' personal guards were all sweating profusely as they milled about in desperation and at a complete loss as to what to do.
Not even the Emperor himself will be able to stop them if these two begin to fight!
Right at this moment—
”I was just asking myself who was causing such a ruckus, and it turned out to be you, two geezers, fooling around.” The sound of Tang Wan Li's candid laughter rose up. ”Don't you two feel ashamed? Both of your ages add up to 156 years old. Look at you two. As people with one foot in the grave, are you not afraid that you will be laughed at by the younger generation?!” Tang Wan Li carried himself haughtily. ”You two really lack elegance compared to me.”
The two old men standing opposite one another simultaneously spit in contempt; the clouds all over the sky instantly dissipated.
Jun Zhan Tian snorted coldly. He looked at Tang Wan Li and Dugu Zong Heng with an expressionless face, and, without saying a word, turned around and left.
”It's already too late for you to go back.” Dugu Zong Heng snorted twice. ”My seven grandsons have already arrived at your residence by now. Old man, you had better buy some ointments on your way home to treat your grandson's injuries.” Dugu Zong Heng was laughing heartily but was actually regretting quite a bit in his heart.
Who would have thought that Jun Zhan Tian cared so much about his thoroughly disappointing wastrel of a grandson? If his seven grandchildren had senselessly beaten up the brat, what is to be done?
Those seven youngsters had always treated Dugu Xiao Yi like a precious treasure. They had all been in an uproar once they heard about what happened to their sister and had swarmed around pushing and shouting to get out of the house. After that, he had received news of Li Shang's accident and had to make haste to the imperial palace. Although he had only left instructions to capture Jun Mo Xie before he left, it is very likely that the latter would suffer grievously at the hands of his grandsons.
Jun Zhan Tian abruptly stopped and leapt up not to mount his horse, but directly circulated his Xuan Qi and disappeared in a flash of blue light. In mid-air, a bellow echoed out. ”Dugu Zong Heng, I'm not finished with you yet. It's already too late for regrets!”
Grandpa Jun was absolutely livid and had unexpectedly burst out in a storm of obscene language.
”Old Dugu, why are you pissing Old Jun off? To go as far as to be at daggers drawn?” Tang Wan Li was just watching curiously from the sideline without any idea what was going on.
Dugu Zong Heng had a belly full of anger. Upon having heard what was said, his eyes flashed as he cursed. ”Fuck off motherfucker! It's none of your fucking business?”
Swish. He swiftly mounted his horse and left.
His words had caused Tang Wan Li to look as though he would choke on anger. It had taken a long time before his boiling anger was able to calm down a little, his fingers still shaking uncontrollably.
If it weren't for me, you two would already have come to blows. I had intervened out of the goodness of my heart, but unexpectedly… unexpectedly blew up on me! Just remembering how one had ignored him and the other had not appreciated his kindness, Tang Wan Li's white beard trembled and felt like he had been slapped in the face. Next time I will be nice, I will eat a hat before that happens.
He suddenly went all out and angrily roared. ”I am a dumbass son of a bitch!” The sound of his voice shook like thunder and echoed into the distance.
The old men from the major families who still had not left yet all stumbled at the same time. This sounded like the voice of that old geezer Tang Wan Li. What the hell is he doing now? Has he gone mad to unexpectedly declare to the world that he is a dumbass son of a bitch? Don't tell me that he got his head kicked in by his horse?!
Their curiosity was growing and all of them thought that it would be a pity not to look. An opportunity like this only knocks but once!
The old men talked it over and all decided to head to the Tang Family full of expectations, each one faster than the last as if competing with one another; the lethargy from earlier in the imperial court had already disappeared without a trace. Even able-bodied young men would not be able to compete with their current ferocity.
If this scene was beheld by the Emperor, he might just be so angry that he would vomit blood!
