Chongxu slapped Zhou Ran hard on the face, causing Zhou Ran to vomit blood on the spot, but this could not eliminate Chongxu's anger.
Nothing he asked Zhou Ran to do was ever done.
Every time, because of Zhou Ran's bad deeds, he had to bear the consequences, and the consequences became more serious every time.
This time Chongxu was most angry.
Of course, Zhou Ran cannot be entirely blamed for what happened this time, and Chongxu himself did not expect such a change to occur.
He also didn't expect that Chen Runyu would come out and intervene, knocking Zhang Chi unconscious and committing suicide.
Is this woman stupid?
Chongxu knew the reason in his heart, but he was very angry now. When he saw Zhou Ran, he became even more angry. He couldn't help but teach this useless grandson a lesson.
Zhou Ran was slapped by his grandfather, and Nuonuo did not dare to speak, but he lowered his head and his eyes were filled with resentment.
When you need him, treat him as your precious grandson. If things don't work out, blame him for being a waste.
Is this all his fault?
Zhou Ran doesn't think so.
For the first time, he felt that it was not that he was incompetent, but that he had just been plotted by Zhang Chi.
The second time, it was his father who was a loser and did things poorly, so he asked Zhang Chi to leave evidence with a photo stone. What does this have to do with him!
This time, it was even more ridiculous. Chongxu made a mistake in his own judgment, but he placed all the blame on him.
He is not convinced!
Chongxu didn't notice his grandson's emotions, he was still cursing and venting his anger at the failure of his plan.
"The father is a waste, and the son is also a waste. What use do I have for you! You can't even deal with a Qi Condensation Stage disciple, so I gave you so many cultivation resources in vain."
Zhou You also lowered his head, his face full of shame.
He also felt sorry for his son who was beaten, but now that the father was angry, he did not dare to speak for him.
Chongxu got angry when he saw how useless they were, and there was no point in cursing them.
"Get out, get out of here, when will Zhang Chi be dealt with and come see me again!"
He had given up hope for his children and grandchildren.
Counting on them, I might as well give birth to a new one myself.
Zhou Youru was granted amnesty and quickly pulled Zhou Ran away.
After walking for a while, he asked with concern: "My child, how are you?"
"You don't have to worry about it."
Zhou Ran opened his hand, obviously angry.
Zhou You quickly comforted you: "Don't be sad, your grandfather only beat you when he was angry. Don't take what he said to heart."
"Of course I won't take it seriously. If we say that there are three of us, grandfather and grandson, wouldn't it mean that grandfather is the most useless person?
With his strength, he could kill Zhang Chi quietly, but he didn't dare to do it himself, but instead blamed others for being useless, which is simply ridiculous."
When Zhou You heard his son say such filial words, he quickly stopped him and said, "You can't do that. How can you say that about your grandfather?"
"I'm not just talking about him, he's a waste, you are a waste too, leave me alone, he's just Zhang Chi, just wait for me to deal with him!"
After that, Zhou Ran left angrily.
Zhou You stood there for a long time, feeling a little at a loss.
When his father called him a waste, he accepted it. Now even his son calls him that, and his mentality has collapsed.
You were walking around in despair, not knowing where you were, when you suddenly heard a call: "Senior Brother Zhou."
He subconsciously looked towards the person who greeted him, and his whole body suddenly sobered up.
The person who called him was Zhang Chi!
At this time, Zhang Chi had just visited Chen Runyu and found that Chen Runyu was fine, so he simply said a few words and let her rest.
Then, he began to prepare for the chance encounter.
Chongxu's plan failed this time, and he would definitely have to divide the pot afterwards.
Zhang Chi knows this kind of thing very well.
Many people are naturally happy if they succeed in doing something, but if they fail, there will be a split-pot meeting.
Chongxu doesn't seem to be able to take the responsibility on himself. He is more likely to pass the blame to others.
In this way, even the biological children and grandchildren will turn away from morality.
But Zhou Ran, a young man, is impossible to win over, but traveling around is different.
He is more hypocritical and more indecisive.
Looking at his appearance now, Zhang Chi knew that what he had expected was right.
"Hall Master Zhou seems to be troubled?"
As soon as Zhang Chi opened his mouth, he exuded an aura of positive energy.
Zhou You felt ashamed of Zhang Chi. Now that he saw Zhang Chi taking the initiative to talk to him, he thought he was here to ridicule him, and his tone was very unfriendly, saying: "I am no longer the hall master, you don't have to laugh at me."
"Uh, sorry, Senior Brother Zhou, my name is Shunkou."
According to the rules of Jianzong, those who have a position are given priority by title, and those who do not have a position are called by seniority.
The title of Senior Brother Zhang Chi is also a position, and it represents the chief disciple of this term.
Disciples in the Foundation Establishment Period are equivalent to previous graduates. They cannot be considered elders if they have not become elders. No matter how old they are, they are all called senior brothers.
If the other party's master is of particularly high seniority, you need to address him accordingly.
None of the three Supreme Elders of Jianzong have accepted any more disciples, so there is no exception at present.
Seeing Zhang Chi's apology, Zhou You also believed that Zhang Chi might have made an unintentional mistake, but he still felt a sense of sadness in his heart.
He was originally the promising deputy leader of the White Tiger Hall. Apart from the two hall leaders who were in name only, he was actually the real controller and could be considered a high-ranking authority.
After what happened before, his reputation was ruined, his identity as the hall master was lost, his former fellow disciples were also very alienated from him, and the younger generation of disciples also looked at him with contempt and disgust.
Many mistakes can be regarded as a thing of the past either if the sect does not investigate them or not.
Especially with Jiang Qingyun's handling of Zhou You, many people were actually dissatisfied.
People who are close to Zhou You feel the most.
If they make the same mistake as Zhou You, they will definitely have to abolish their cultivation and be expelled from the master. If they don't tell the truth honestly, they may not be able to escape Soul Search.
Is it fair that you can spend spirit stones to solve the problem of traveling around?
It makes sense for them to travel apart and travel apart.
But it was impossible for Zhou You to tell Zhang Chi about his own affairs. He waved his hand and said in a low mood: "Forget it, whether you mean it or not, there is nothing to talk about between you and me."
Hearing this, Zhang Chi sighed and said, "I heard that senior brother has been misunderstood recently and is in a difficult situation, and I feel a little guilty.
Others don’t know, but I believe that senior brother doesn’t mean to do evil, and often he can’t help himself.”
This sentence can be said in Zhou You's heart.
Although he was the one who set the fire, the one who lied, and the one who drove Zhang Chi away, Zhou You felt that he was forced and it was not his fault.
He should not be the only one to bear this sin, but no one in the entire Sword Sect could understand him. Unexpectedly, only this person who had been let down by him understood him.
Zhou You also sighed and said: "The matter has come to this, there is no point in talking about it."
"How could it be meaningless? Never forget the past, and be the guide for the future. What has happened before will happen again in the future. Do you have to be so helpless, senior brother?"
These words suddenly resounded in Zhou You's heart like thunder.
He looked at Zhang Chi in disbelief. Did this little brother mean to ask him to stab his own father in the back?
"What are you talking about? I don't understand."
Zhang Chi shook his head and said: "I don't mean anything else, I just hope that you can be yourself, senior brother.
I heard that my senior brother was also a genius in the Sword Sect when he was young. He was a young hero and a role model in the hearts of many disciples. Now that he has entered a trough, I hope that my senior brother can cheer up and regain his former glory."
hiss……
Zhou You felt that something deep inside was awakened.
Yes, who wasn’t a young genius back then?
Thinking about how many people secretly admired him back then, his reputation may not be any worse than Zhang Chi's now.
Now he was despised and spurned by others. The gap was so big that he felt even more uncomfortable.
If he hadn't interfered with too many worldly things in order to consolidate his father's power, with his talent, he should have become a god long ago. By then, he would have been even more prosperous. How could he be like this?
He was rejected by his classmates, scolded by his father, and even his son called him a waste.
But, he was also a genius!
The unwillingness deep inside Zhou You was awakened.
Even though he knew Zhang Chi was an enemy, he gradually let down his guard in front of Zhang Chi.
"Now that things have come to this, what should I do?"
"I once heard a story. A family raised a flock of sheep. One day the sheepfold was broken and a wolf came in and took away a sheep. The owner started to repair the sheepfold.
Others asked, if the sheep have been lost, why are we mending the sheepfold?
The master then replied, “Are you being stupid if you don’t mend the sheepfold even though one of the sheep has been lost?”
When I heard this, I suddenly became enlightened.
Isn't he the one who lost the sheep?
He has already lost a lot, and if he doesn't change now, he will lose even more in the future.
It's still too late to mend the sheepfold.
Seeing him like this, Zhang Chi knew that he had succeeded in deceiving him.
In fact, he didn't know much about what happened in Zhou Yu's past, so there was no need to waste time trying to find out the information, as it would easily leave traces.
A very simple truth, who can build a foundation, who has not been a genius boy before?
Even if he is not, he will still feel that he is.
And Zhang Chi's words also stimulated Zhou You's blood to boil, as if he wished that the world would be reopened soon.
Zhang Chi certainly didn't want to have anything to do with him in this state.
As long as the effect is achieved.
"Congratulations, senior brother, for breaking through the demonic barrier in your heart. I have something else to do and I can't stay long, so I'll take my leave now."
"Where are you going, junior brother?"
Zhou You asked casually, and Zhang Chi said: "I heard that Tang Ruoling was rescued, and I planned to go see her."
Zhou You suddenly felt something in his heart.
Zhang Chi is going out!
What Zhou Ran once said could not help but come to mind.
Chongxu can definitely kill Zhang Chi, simply and neatly.
And this strength is not just in vain, he also has it.
Now that Zhang Chi is killed, he can also push it onto Qing Hui.
If he accomplished such a big thing, his father and son would definitely view him differently.
At this moment, Zhou You was already murderous.
But when he thought of Zhang Chi encouraging him regardless of past grudges, he couldn't bear it.
"I can't do it, so I'd better let others do it..."
