“Oh? What words? What is the matter?” replied Cheng Biyuan nonchalantly.The hint of qi as a martial king slightly pressuring Gu Junxian.
He thought he was in the right.He was full of confidence when he stood up, but he didn’t expect the Cheng’sfather and daughter just denied everything. Enraged, he started screaming, “OhI see. Now that the Cheng’s standing has changed, the words they have said inthe past were like fart1. There’s no credibility in your words, you are nothingbut crooks!”
SMACK!
A slap on his handsome face and immediate a handprint appeared.
Gu Junxian was startled by the slap out of nowhere. He rolled his eyesbut he didn’t even see who it was that struck him. And only a few there knewwho the real culprit was.
Under everybody’s watchful eyes, hundreds of pairs of eyes, the personstruck at such lightning speed that barely a few person was able to catchsight.
When his son was struck, Gu Gaoyi, who had originally wanted to stay outof all of this, couldn’t remain silent any longer. He stepped forward rightaway and, even though he didn’t really saw who it was that acted, said straightat Cheng Biyuan with a deep voice, “Housemaster Cheng, wasn’t that a bit much?Never mind that Junxian was in the right, even if he wasn’t, is that how asenior should behave?”
By now Cheng Biyuan had given up completely, he was ready to draw thatline between them, “Housemaster Gu, are you sure you know what you are talkingabout? You saw me hitting your son?”
“Was it not?”
As soon he finished saying, the dean of School of Divine Condor shook hishead, “Housemaster Gu, I don’t think you should just place blame if you didn’tactually knew who it was that acted. It really wasn’t little Biyuan who struckyour son.”
Gu Gaoyi would never doubt the words of the old dean. After all, hisstanding was well respected and would never lie to him. Well then, if it wasn’tCheng Biyuan, then….
He turned and locked onto Cheng Xiao Xiao and scolded lightly, “XiaoXiao, you are becoming more of a shrew as you get older. You think you can juststrike someone like that?”
“Hey, can you stop spewing bulls.h.i.t all over the place? You look like arapid dog that’s just biting anyone within sight. Is that how all the Gu’sare?” said Cheng Xiao Xiao impolitely.
“You!”
Gu Gaoyi’s face darkened and his body exudes a chilling aura. This shrewin front of him was the only one who care call him a dog publicly.
When this scene unfolded, everybody there now understood that the Gu’sand the Cheng’s had severed all ties and there would be more brotherlyrelationships.
Gu Junxian was slapped, followed by his father being insulted. His faceturned beet red from anger and veins were popping on his forehead. His browsstanding almost straight up and his neck was about to explode.
“Housemaster Gu, you are still wrong. It wasn’t maiden Cheng Xiao Xiaoeither. You both have the wrong person!”
Now, both Gu’s father and son was stunned. Their vicious expressionfrozen on their faces.
Watching their looks, Cheng Xiao Xiao almost laughed out loud. This olddean certainly know when to speak up, he….
Yes, he actually wasn’t a jerk.
“Who? Then who was it?” shouted Gu Gaoyi loudly, having thoroughlyembarra.s.sed himself.
SMACK!
The sound of another slap resounded inside the canopy and this time itwasn’t Gu Junxian who got smacked; it was Gu Gaoyi. Now both the father and sonhave a hand print on their faces..
“It was you!”
The father and son finally noticed the man standing behind Cheng XiaoXiao – it was Old Man Ying!
The cold and prideful looking Old Man Ying pursed his lips and said,“Your mouths stank. I suggest for you to keep them shut. If I smell them againI am going to strike again. Hrm!”
