Xiao Chong was slapped on the face and fell to the ground with staggering steps.
His face was already swollen like a pig's head, but he was slapped again by Xiao Zhan. Several blood marks immediately opened and blood gushed out.
He fell to the ground, covering his bleeding cheeks with his hands, and looked at Xiao Zhan in disbelief.
"You actually hit me! The bastard from the third room hit me. Instead of avenging me, you actually hit me... You don't deserve to be my father!"
Xiao Chong was trembling with anger, staring at Xiao Zhan with cold eyes, and roared in a low voice.
Xiao Zhan almost vomited blood because of his anger. He stood up suddenly with violent anger all over his body and scolded in a deep voice: "You bastard, are you still stubborn to this day?
Please wake up to me and think about the name ‘Xiao Han’!”
"What do I think?" Xiao Chong glared at him tit for tat, and roared even more furiously: "Isn't he just a bastard from the third room? Isn't he just living a few more decades?
You usually brag about how awesome you are, but now that your son is being bullied, you don't even dare to fart, and you only dare to hit me!
I’m going to tell my mother that I have to go to the Law Hall and let the law elders judge me!”
As he spoke, Xiao Chong got up from the ground and rushed out of the study.
"Come back!" Xiao Zhan's face turned purple with anger, and with a wave of his sleeve, he caught Xiao Chong back.
He twisted Xiao Chong's collar and shouted angrily: "Xiao Chong! Do you want to kill us? Please calm down and think about who Xiao Han is?
He is the pride of our Xiao clan and the pillar of the Xiao clan! Is he someone you and I can offend?"
Xiao Chong, who was in a state of excitement, suddenly thought of something when he heard Xiao Zhan's reminder.
"Xiao Han... Xiao Han! Is he that... Donglin Divine General??"
Xiao Zhan shouted angrily with a cold tone: "Nonsense! Who else could it be if it wasn't him?"
"It's actually him?" Xiao Chong was dumbfounded on the spot, stunned and stunned, his anger turned into nothing.
He felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him, from head to toe, and even his back was feeling chilly.
Xiao Han is the pride of the Xiao clan and an unparalleled strong man worshiped by all the young generation.
The most important thing is that the top two in this Holy Fire Festival assessment will be taken out of the Xiao clan by Xiao Han and will be cared for and cultivated.
And he had already made a mistake and was slapped twice by Xiao Han.
But he screamed at Xiao Han, never letting Xiao Han go, and even looking for legal elders to comment.
After something like this happened, how does Xiao Han feel about him? Will he still support and cultivate him?
Thinking of this, Xiao Chong suddenly fell limply on his chair and murmured in despair: "This is impossible! How is this possible? How could it be such a coincidence?
Why? He hasn’t been back to the Xiao clan for decades, why is he coming back today?
He doesn't know Xiao Ling'er at all, so why should he defend Xiao Ling'er?
No...I am not willing to do so!"
Xiao Zhan also gradually calmed down, and said with a solemn expression: "Chong'er, please tell me the origin and process of the matter, exactly, without any omissions!"
Xiao was full of fear. Of course he didn't dare to hide the truth anymore, nor did he dare to add fuel to the fire. He could only tell the truth.
After he told the whole story, Xiao Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "Although this matter is your and Xiao Ke's fault, there is still room for remedy.
This is the grudge between you and Xiao Ke, Xiao Linger, and Xiao Tianxing. It is a matter for your younger generation. Fortunately, you did not directly conflict with Xiao Han.
Now you follow me to Tingfeng Yuan and apologize to Xiao Han in person!"
"Ah?" Xiao Chong was stunned and said in disbelief: "Dad, do we really have to endure this and go to Xiao Han to apologize?
There are so many people in the whole clan watching. Let’s go to the thorn bush to apologize. Tomorrow this matter will be spread throughout the Xiao clan.
At that time, we will be the joke of the whole clan and will be ridiculed for the rest of our lives!"
Xiao Zhan glared at him angrily and scolded: "You bastard! Until now, don't you understand the importance of this matter?
Compared with the status and resources we already have, what is that little face?
Besides, what kind of shame is this for bearing a thorn to plead guilty to Donglin God General?
Not just us, who among the nine houses can offend him?"
Xiao Chong fell silent immediately, still hesitating and thinking.
Xiao Zhan didn't let him think too much. He stretched out his hand to hold his neck and dragged him out of the study and rushed towards Tingfeng Garden.
…
Tingfeng Garden is brightly lit and quiet at night.
Xiao Han was standing in a dimly lit boulder passage, with the door of the secret room behind him.
He has been waiting outside the secret room door for several hours.
He paced back and forth, praying silently in his heart: "Tian Xing, you must succeed! The third uncle's health is deteriorating, and the third room's status is in jeopardy.
If you can cure Uncle San’s injury, you can allow Sanfang to continue and fulfill my wish..."
At this moment, a guard rushed over and reported respectfully: "Your Majesty, there is someone in the main hall who wants to see you."
Xiao Han raised his eyebrows and asked: "Who wants to see me in the middle of the night?"
The guard answered truthfully: "It's Xiao Zhan from the second room, bringing his son Xiao Chong, saying he's here to apologize to you!
Both father and son were naked, carrying thorns on their backs, and were kneeling in the main hall."
Xiao Han frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Ignore them and let them kneel for a while."
Now he was only worried about the third elder's injury and didn't bother to pay attention to Xiao Zhan and his son.
The guard quickly turned around and left, not daring to disturb him again.
Soon, another hour passed.
There was still no movement in the secret room, Xiao Han was still pacing back and forth, waiting anxiously.
At this time, the guard left and returned, and reported to Xiao Han again: "Your Majesty, two more people have come to see you."
Xiao Zhan frowned displeased and asked, "Who is it this time?"
The guard replied: "It's Xiao Ke and his son, also naked and carrying thorn strips, kneeling in the main hall to plead guilty."
Xiao Han frowned and said with a contemptuous sneer: "These guys are really sensible, and they really ignored their face and came to plead guilty.
In this case, I have to teach them an unforgettable lesson."
After that, he ordered the guards: "Go and tell them to kneel in the hall and they are not allowed to leave until dawn.
Let them take care of their own heirs and stop being arrogant and lawless in the Xiao clan, otherwise disaster will come sooner or later!"
The guard said he obeyed and quickly turned around and left.
Xiao Han did not take this matter to heart and continued to pace outside the secret room door, always paying attention to what was going on in the secret room.
He was silently calculating in his mind that Ji Tianxing had said before that the third elder's injury could be cured before dawn.
It is already early morning, and in two hours it will be dawn.
