Chapter 70 - Where Did This Bad Fruit Come From?
Crack!
Long lines of narrow and sharp cracks were seen on the walls of the corridors they were in due to the immense amount of pressure that the Head of the Le family was exerting in the atmosphere. It was simply too much to handle at once.
"Master, you have awakened." The tow guards who were kneeling on the ground got up in their feet and bowed down before Le Zuan who was glowing with a red aura surrounding his body.
"Zaotin!", " Zhen!"
He called both of their names, his voice commanding absolute control from them.
'This presence..' Both of them gulped down nervously as they felt the new strength of their master that was rippling through all of his body.
The head of the Le Family was indeed strong cultivator but he appeared much stronger than when he had went into the seclusion.
Le Zuan looked at the two people who were standing at some distance form him and was silent for a while. He looked at them with eyes which were glowing red in color, making him look more monstrous like than ever.
"Master! We will like to apologize for disturbing you." Both of them bowed down in unison to apologize as they thought they disturbed him in his seclusion.
Le Zuan did not speak anymore and simply raised his finger and, snapped it.
"Ugh.." Both Zaotin and Zhen groaned in pain but they tried their best to hold it in as a burning pain, as if thousands of hot and stinging needles were run being inserted in their neck by someone.
For better or for worse, the pain did not linger only on their neck.
They could feel their internal channels being pierced and fixed at the same time and the cycle continued. It was like spending a nightmarish life in loop.
After what seemed to be like eternity for them, although in reality only 1 minute had passed, Le Zuan released his power from over them and sighed heavily.
Both of them gasped for air when the pain finally subsided.
Le lao Ling who had been observing this whole situation from the floor was unconsciously trembling..
Trembling in excitement!!
He could not believe how cool his father was. He was able to bring the two useless and rude guards on their kness with just a snap of his finger.
He had wanted to make those people cower in fear by his own power but he was also happy seeing his dad doing the thing for him.
"Lao Ling!"historical
Le Zuan's cold and heavy voice thundered all over the hall way.
"Y-Yes, father.." He replied to him with a stuttering voice. Although he was really impressed by the power of his father, he was still frightened by him.
"What are you doing here?" He looked at him with a stern look on his face. There was not a sign of love and affection on the expressionless face of the man.
"Err, father.." He was trying to say something when he was interrupted by the man himself.
"Are you wasting your time like your good for nothing cousin?" He shouted at him with an absolute anger and disgust.
Le Zuan was still angered by the nephew of his who made his trip to the desolate village thousand times worse than he had expected. All the stupid and useless talks that the man did make him want to claw out his hair in frustration.
He was really tired of being around useless fools who were only big in their words but action was a big zero.
So, seeing his only son, cough, he did have a daughter but at the moment she was out of his mind, he was a bit angry and disappointed.
He was in seclusion for whole one month but the first thing he saw when he finally came out of the seclusion was his son being pinned down on the floor by another man and his son couldn't even fight back.
They were just lowly servants while he was from a Nobel family!!
His anger skyrocketed exponentially like how we would have wished the stock markets to go stonks!
"Father, I .." Lao Ling tried to say that he has been a god boy when he thought about the reason he came here today. It was much more important than anything at this moment.
"Yes, I came to ask you question." He stood up from the floor with great struggle as lying down on the floor in an uncomfortable position gave him a real pain in the ass and half of his limbs were as good as numb.
"That old man, I mean Grandmaster Lan came home today." He spoke as fast as he could even, unaware of the fact that he was spitting out the saliva from his mouth as he spoke in hurry.
"Speak slowly." Le Zuan wiped the spit bubble that fell on his cheek and looked at Le Lao Ling in anger."
He looked at the fool in front of him and tried to understand where the hell this bad fruit came out from. After meeting with Le Fang Ling who was just 16 but already good at what she was doing had made him raise his bar high.
He had seen the girl one month ago and now that he came out of the room, seeing his son acting like a stupid twerp despite him being 3 years older then her made him see how much of a differences the children held.
"Where is your little sister?" After being reminded of the girl, he wanted to see how she was doing.
"Oh wait, you said Grandmaster Lan was here?" He looked at him in surprise.
"Yes, that id what I was saying.." Lao Ling sighed in dejection.
"He said he was here to take away that bitc..I mean, to take away that new..my ..err..little sister." Lao Ling had no choice but to address to her in a very polite manner in case his father flipped out at him for calling the lowly girl bitch.
"Oh, so he came" Le Zuan nodded his head at the news. Before going to seclusion, he had asked him to take care of her after all.
'That child must learn how to use her power.' He mumbled to himself while totally ignoring the gibberish speech of his son.
'Then I can finally find it.' He tightened his hand in to a tight fist.
"..isn't it unfair?" The loud cry of Lao ling was the wakeup call for him when he was lost in his own thoughts.
"What is unfair?" Le Zuan scrunched his nose in a tight frown and looked at Lao Ling who had been barking at him for quite a while.
"I mean father," He pointed at himself.
"Aren't I supposed to be the one who was going to join the eternal blossom sect?" He pointed at him as if it was an obligation of the head of the Le Family to send his son to enroll in the biggest sect in the continent.
"..."
"Why do you think you get to do that?" Le Zuan asked him in speechlessness.
"Because I am your real child and the young master of the Le family of the southern province." He answered him in confidence Le Zuan had never seen before.
"No, you are going to learn the secret art of the Le Family and practice the eternal falling starts manual." He looked at Lao ling sternly.
They had their own clan here and own sect where martial arts was taught to young people. Lao Ling, given his affinity and attribute he was much suited to stay there and practice and cultivate with his fellow students.
"But.." He looked at Lao Ling who was trying to refute what was being said.
"You can complain all you want and even leave for the sect all by yourself.." Le Zuan pointed a finger at him and said.
"That is fi you do not want to inherit the Le Family then I have nothing else to say."
"Zaotin, Zhen!" He called out the names of the two guards who were standing like statute without involving themselves in the conversation of the son and father. It was a union after a one long month so they did not want to be bone in the kebab and quietly excused themselves to the sideline.
"Yes, Master." They both replied to him when their names were called out. They quickly followed beside him like the obedient slaves they were.
"I will be leaving for the Vermillion bird pick in a few days to meet Grandmaster Lan and also see the Fang Ling girly." He informed them as they exited out of the house.
"Make sure that all the preparations are met well." He gave off a menacing aura to make sure they understood what he meant by it.
"Yes! Master!"
.
Lao Ling was left standing on the floor all by himself. He could not believe not only his words were not heard, he was also ignored by his own father.
He saw a porcelain flower vase sitting on a desk right beside him which had survived the pressure form before.
"Hyaa..." He shouted at the top of his lungs and smashed the vase on the ground. The pieces shattered all over the floor and a few pieces even flew upward and entered his eyes.
A red line of blood trickled down from his eyes, making his red and angry face look like it belonged to heinous monster.
"You..All of you are going to pay for this." He gritted his teeth as he promised himself.
He snapped his finger and out of thin air, three thin golden, silvery and pearly white bracelets appeared in his hand.
"Just you wait." He gave a sickening snicker as he shook the bracelets in his hand.. The metal bracelets produced a soft clinking sound which echoed in the empty hall like a soft melody.
