Chapter 83: Think for Yourself [Seeking Follow-up Reading]

Downstairs, the middle-aged shopkeeper came out from behind the counter with a smile on his face, bowed and saluted to the housekeeper who was leading several strong servants, "Master Zhou, what happened today? If there is something wrong, the clan can just send someone to inform us. Why bother you to bring someone here?"

Seeing that he was trying to use his status as a member of the Xu family to point at him, the housekeeper Zhou Liang, who was holding the little girl with one hand, looked up impatiently and said, "Master Sheng Hong misses the young lady, so he specially ordered me to take her back. You, a distant relative who has nothing to do with us, should stop interrupting us."

The shopkeeper was so angry at the impolite words that he dared not say anything.

Although his surname is also "Xu", there are differences between close and distant. He is so distant that even the head of the main room can easily cut his face.

"I dont go--"

The little girl who was being pulled by the collar was struggling desperately at this moment. Although she was still young, she also knew how her family had fallen to this point. So the so-called 'Brother Sheng Hong' missing her was like a weasel paying a New Year's visit to a chicken.

"I want to find my brother—"

"Don't be ungrateful!"

Seeing her struggling so hard, Zhou Liang grabbed her by the collar and raised his hand as if to slap her: "The clan leader is kind-hearted and doesn't care about your father's sins and wants to take you back. You, a lowly creature, don't know what's good for you and you like to serve a bunch of mud legs outside?"

The tea drinkers around looked annoyed upon hearing this.

But the Xu family is the Xu family, and they can only endure such humiliation, because here you can curse the emperor and the court at will, but if it has anything to do with the word "Xu"...

I'm sorry, see you at the blast furnace.

Zhou Liang didn't take the people around him seriously at all. He took the "chicken" in his hand and the servants and was about to go out to ask for credit from the young master.

"Woo-I want to go find my brother. I don't want to go back."

A strong sense of fear enveloped Xu Yan's heart. She seemed to be back to that afternoon when a group of clan uncles broke in and took her father away. Her brother and mother stepped forward to stop them but were knocked to the ground.

Not only did she never see her father again, but she and her brother and mother were kicked out of the house, left without a stable place to live. Her life fell into a slump, and her mother died of depression in poverty. It was her half-grown brother who raised her.

At this helpless moment, she could only cry and talk about her brother.

"elder brother--"

In the sound of crying.

Snapped!
As the group walked out of the teahouse, a teacup flew towards his head and shattered with such force that he staggered and his face was covered with tea and blood.

"who--"

"upstairs!"

Several servants subconsciously looked up and saw a handsome young man dressed as a ranger with his hands pressed against the window, looking down at this side with a relaxed upper body.

"Who are you!"

"Come down if you dare!"

No matter how much they shout, fools die early these days, and those who can make a living by martial arts have some foresight. Even if they are sure that the young man upstairs is dead, no one wants to be the first to test his status.

"What are you barking for! You are a bunch of cowards, why don't you go and call for help--"

Zhou Liang, who finally recovered, covered the wound on his forehead and raised his face with resentment, saying: "The man upstairs, if you can walk out of this building today, I will change my last name to yours!"

"Heh~"

A dazzlingly beautiful and gentle woman came over from upstairs, put her hand on the young man's shoulder and said to him, "What a poor toad from a remote village dares to dream."

Just as Zhou Liang was stunned, a man with heroic spirit came over from the other side of the young man, his arms folded, and a pair of peach blossom eyes looked down disdainfully:

"There are three surnames here, and you are not qualified to change any of them."

"..."

They say a person's temperament reflects his character. You can tell at a glance whether he has confidence or not. Zhou Liang's anger subsided a bit and his tone softened:
"You three are so arrogant! When you come to Xujia Town, you have to be known by your name before you can pass through. Before you speak, you'd better weigh your own weight!"

Hearing this, the young man in the middle pinched his chin and said in a joking voice, "Whether I am worthy enough or not, your master of the Xu family knows it best. You can yell as much as you want now, but I will let your master make the decision himself later."

"Clap clap clap!"

There was applause from a carriage on the side of the road, and then the driver opened the curtain, and Xu Shenghong stepped out. He looked up and squinted at the three people and said, "I don't know where these friends came from, but they came to my Xu family's territory and shouted to kill my Xu family's dog. It's really rude."

"Master!"

Zhou Liang covered his forehead and went to him to protest: "You saw it all, it was these people who started it first—"

Xu Shenghong pushed his face away without even looking at him, then looked upstairs patiently. If these three people were really important, it would be fine. But if not——

We can make good steel in the afternoon.

Ding ding.

The woman upstairs who made people's lower abdomen restless at a glance suddenly threw something down, and then the young man in the middle left the window without looking back. Before Xu Shenghong could get confused, the beautiful apricot tree by the window winked at him——

"You decide for yourself."

"..."

"Master."

The servant next to him handed over the token-like thing. Xu Shenghong took it and took a look at it, and his expression suddenly changed color.

'In the Chaotian Palace there is the Chaotian Palace, and in the Chaotian Palace there is the Chaotian Immortal. The Chaotian Immortal has pacified the world and given the whole sky a new look.'

'...'

"Master? Master, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Liang, who was standing next to him, felt a jolt in his heart and moved closer to take a look at the token.

Snapped!
As the crisp sound rang out, Zhou Liang covered his face and looked at Xu Shenghong in disbelief, only to see that the young master, who was usually lawless and dared to lay hands on the younger generations of some wealthy families, was now filled with fear.

"Master?"

This time when Zhou Liang called Xu Shenghong, he finally responded, but the fear in his eyes when he glanced at him had turned into cruelty.

"..."

"Young Master Dongfang!"

When the three of them came out, Xu Shenghong, whose face was covered in blood, came forward respectfully and held up a human head in his hand:
"Please come home. The barking of the dog at home is unpleasant. Please don't mind it. This servant is not even worthy of the surname Xu, so how can he be worthy of the surname Dongfang?"

At this moment, the spectators and servants around were all trembling as they watched this scene.

Snapped!
Snapped!
Two slaps were heard, and Qianglong withdrew his hands. He smiled at Xu Shenghong, whose expression remained unchanged.

"Do you know why I hit you twice?"

"My subordinates don't know."

The latter was as respectful as a dog lying on the ground: "But once the young master has beaten and taught me a lesson, I will understand."

Such a person, even if he is a dandy, will make people look at him with new eyes.

"One, there are children here."

The young man pointed at the pale-faced Xu Yan next to him and said in a lecturing voice, "What if you scare Guo Chao's flower bud like this and it doesn't grow taller in the future?"

"..."

"Second, my last name is Wei, not Dongfang. If someone else calls me like this, I will tear his head off. You—"

Seeing that the man was gradually trembling, the young man suddenly grinned and patted his shoulder:

"Never mind--"

"Who told you to be good?"
