”Yun Fan.”

Zheng Jiang turned his face to look behind him, and lightly called out, his expression somewhat sinister.

”Father, I was unable to properly arrange this operation. Please punish me.”

Zheng Yunfan lowered his head and cupped his hands, he was extremely clear about his father's temperament. At this moment, his words were as if he was seeking death.

”It's good that you know you're wrong. Although you've made a mistake this time, the biggest fault is not with you. It's fine that you're punished. Go and do what you should.” If we make another mistake this time, your father will not forgive you. ” Zheng Jiang said as he waved his hand.

”Yes, your son will take his leave.” Zheng Yunfan bowed and replied, then turned and walked out of the hall.

Walking out of the hall, the giant boulder that was pressing down on Zheng Yunfan's chest finally landed. After looking around for a moment, Zheng Yunfan left the Zheng Family's courtyard and headed east of the city.

Three days later, Zhou Tong followed the escort team back to Cang Lan City.

This trip was less than three hundred kilometers from Cang Lan City and it had only been four days since they arrived. On the way, besides the ambush from Zheng Family, they did not encounter any other vicious people.

After returning home, Zhou Yuqin went straight to Zhou Yuchuan's residence. The clan had placed a spy in the Zheng Family, so they had to inform him immediately, but Zhou Tong thought about it and decided not to follow her. He chatted with his aunt for a bit before returning to his residence.

Just as he arrived in front of the door, Zhou Tong heard intermittent sounds of flutes in the room.

Zhou Tong curled his lips and laughed, then pushed open the door and entered the room.

”Wan'er, you don't play the flute like that.” Zhou Tong closed the door and walked to the side of the table, extending his hand to pat his sister's head.

Zhou Wan’er pouted his lips, looking at Zhou Tong, he stuck out his tongue, and a deep imprint appeared on his lips from Yu Xiao's blow.

Zhou Tong took out the Sumeru Pearl s that his father had gifted him. With a raise of his hand, a streak of white light flashed and a few exquisite small wooden boxes appeared on the table. When he opened them, he found that inside were all the best candied fruits and snacks that he had sold in this darting destination city.

”All for me?” Zhou Wan’er blinked his eyes, his eyes shining with starlight.

”It's all for you.” Zhou Tong took Yu Xiao from his sister's hands and pushed forward a few boxes of dim sum.

Zhou Wan’er's small face was immediately filled with joy, she grabbed a piece of cake and stuffed it into her mouth. Not long later, her mouth became oily and filled with satisfaction.

”Young Master, Master wants you to go.”

Just as Zhou Tong was packing his things, the voice of the butler came from outside the door. Zhou Tong grinned;

After a moment, Zhou Tong arrived at the Main Hall of the clan. Zhou Yuchuan, along with the five elders, sat in the hall, while trembling and kneeling on the floor.

”Ah, what's wrong with you, big brother?” They hadn't seen each other for a few days, so how could they have suffered such injuries? Could it be that we have been plotted against? ”

Zhou Tong walked forward, tilted his head, and glanced at Zhou Lin. His tone was filled with incomparable mockery, and he was secretly laughing to himself, the people from the Zheng Family should have already arrived. After a while, the wounds he had left at the family meeting had not healed yet, and they had been replaced with new wounds.

”Tong'er, don't be rude.” Zhou Yuchuan sat on the chair and called out lightly.

”Yes, Zhou Tong pays his respect to the elders.” Zhou Tong laughed, and then knelt down on one knee.

”Zhou Tong, you have not yet obtained permission to enter the escort company, you went out to follow the escort company without permission, do you know what kind of action you are taking?” The Head Elder asked coldly as he sipped on his tea.

Zhou Tong's mouth twitched, he coldly looked at the Great Clan Elder and cupped his fists, ”I, Zhou Tong do not know, Great Clan Elder, please enlighten me.”

”Without permission, you went out to cast your darts without permission and almost caused an accident to the escort team. This action of yours, if we were to discuss the clan rules, you should be punished with a staff for thirty years, and then you will be punished with three months of imprisonment!” The Great Clan Elder glared at Zhou Tong and bellowed.

”Then, what should we do if we were to secretly leak out the clan's dart routes to others?” Zhou Tong stood up and raised his chin to look at the Great Clan Elder.

”Impudent!” How dare you be so arrogant in front of all these elders! Men, put Zhou Tong down, I want your staff for thirty! ”

The Head Elder slammed the table and stood up in anger. The servants holding sticks on both sides of him immediately walked over.

Zhou Tong looked around at the servants. Although they were all eyeing him covetously, they did not dare to go up right away.
