C5 (1/2)

With a crisp clank, the wine cup shattered into fine powder.

In the Zhou Mansion's hall, the banquet for the hundred people suddenly quieted down. Zhou Tong's actions in succession caused the people at the banquet to keep quiet, waiting for the elders to finish.

The second elder was so angry that his nose was crooked. The other few elders did not say anything but were gloating instead.

Zhou Tong was even angrier, not only did he injure Zhou Kang, he even imitated his previous tone and pretended to be a hypocrite. In that moment, the Second Elder did not know how to react.

However, what surprised the Second Elder even more was that when facing his might, not only was Zhou Tong not afraid in the slightest, he looked as if he did not care about it at all, as if he was nothing in front of Zhou Tong.

”Zhou Tong, Zhou Kang is your second brother after all, you heavily injured him to such a state, how do you think he will be able to unleash his full strength during the clan gathering in the future?”

The Second Elder clenched his teeth and pointed at Zhou Tong. Zhou Kang was no longer able to stand, and was carried out by the servants.

Zhou Tong secretly laughed, as though this Zhou Kang was making things up? On the other hand, this Second Elder had immediately taken off his tall hat. He was so shameless that it was laughable.

Second Elder, the purpose of the clan gathering is to check if the young generation have the qualifications to enter the clan's escort team, to assume the position of Escort, is that right? Zhou Tong tilted his body, both of his hands returned back into his pockets, and looked at the Second Clan Elder with an inquiring look.

”Of course there's no problem with that, but what does it have to do with you injuring Zhou Kang?”

If looks could kill, then Zhou Tong's body would most likely be riddled with thousands of holes.

”If that's the case, then may I ask second elder? If second elder brother were to fight with me in the clan gathering, what would the result be?”

When Zhou Tong said this, many of the people around started to snicker. Was there even a need to ask? That strike just now was enough to explain everything.

Many of these Zhou disciples who were not direct descendants had been suppressed by Zhou Kang, but because of Zhou Kang's identity, they could only be angry but not say anything. Now, not only did Zhou Tong injure Zhou Kang, he even said that he would take revenge on the Second Elder.

With this question, the Second Elder's face immediately lit up. He did not know if it was hatred or resentment, wanting to find some crime to beat it up. However, he had nothing to say and could only hold it in until his round face turned green.

”If the Second Elder doesn't say anything, does that mean that second brother will lose?”

”If that's the case, then is there any influence to second brother's ability to participate in the gathering?” ”Even I, a mere Stage Six Qi Condensation cultivator, cannot defeat him. If I enter the escort company and meet him, wouldn't it be a waste of my life to meet him on the way?”

”Enough!”

The Second Clan Elder waved his hand and interrupted Zhou Tong. His face was filled with grievance, ”What's the use of talking nonsense? I'll send someone to deliver it to you after the Meteor Iron banquet. Return to your seat. If you want to cause trouble again, then don't blame me, your elder, for teaching you a lesson! ”

Zhou Yuchuan stood at the side and watched the old and young duo bicker, seeing that the time was right, he immediately stood up and agreed.

Zhou Tong secretly laughed in his heart, seeing that his father did not have any intention to punish him, and even opened his mouth to find a way out, he immediately put away his arrogant attitude, and cupped his hands to greet the second clan elder.

”Thank you for your magnanimity, Second Elder. If this junior knows my wrongs, I will definitely shut my doors and think it through and not cause any more trouble.”

”Alright, alright. You can leave now.” However, I will remember what you have said today. If you are unable to display your so-called strength during the clan gathering, don't blame me for punishing you! ”

The Second Elder waved his hand impatiently and then sat down gloomily to eat.

Zhou Tong turned and walked back to his seat. Separated by a few tables, his father gave him a thumbs up. Zhou Tong glanced at him, then smiled and started to take care of Zhou Wan’er's food and drinks.

Zhou Tong did not like the noise, and he did not like interacting with the rest of the people in the clan. After eating their fill, the brother and sister duo immediately left, and did not greet anyone.

Returning to his room, Zhou Wan’er started to play a tune with Zhou Tong, causing him to feel extremely helpless. In his previous life, the only thing that could be considered as an elegant hobby became Zhou Wan’er's favorite in this life instead.

He picked up the flute, and before he could finish playing the melody, there was a knock on the door.

When he opened the door, Zhou Tong saw his father standing outside with his hands behind his back.
