[Slap…]A crisp sound suddenly echoed through the street.
The Zhou Family’s eldest son, who had just been slapped, was about to explode in anger.
As he lifted his head, he saw a face that was all too familiar.
“Dad?”
“You… How are you here?”
...
As he spoke, the Zhou Family’s eldest son touched his head with his right hand and said with a somewhat aggrieved expression, “Why did you hit me?”
“This is, this is in public.”
“At least, save me some face…”
Before the Zhou Family’s eldest son could finish speaking,
The robust current Family Head of the Zhou Family, his face filled with rage like that of a tiger or wolf, firmly slapped his naive and immature son once again.
“Face?”
“Save you face?”
“I’m already being very nice by not beating you to death.”
“Do you have any idea what you’ve done?”
Upon hearing these words, the Zhou Family’s eldest son cupped his face, his expression growing even more aggrieved, “What did I do? I, I was just…”
“Just had a little dispute with that guy from the Liang Family, right?”
“What’s the big deal?”
The situation might have been somewhat manageable if the Zhou Family’s eldest son had not spoken these words.
However, as soon as they slipped out of his mouth,
The anger in the eyes of the current Family Head of the Zhou Family, one of the Five Great Families of Qingshi City, seemed almost ready to overflow.
“Just a little dispute?”
The current Family Head of the Zhou Family said as he fiercely hit his son’s face with his right hand once again.
The sound was so crisp.
The force was immense.
It was just incredible.
At this moment, the current Family Head of the Zhou Family seemed to completely forget that the person before him was his own son.
The force of the blow was nearly murderous.
It was truly a sight that would make onlookers’ hearts ache and bring tears to their eyes.
Even the Liang Family’s eldest son, another member of the Five Great Families of Qingshi City who was standing to the side, was somewhat dumbstruck by the scene.
But after a moment of astonishment,
The Liang Family’s eldest son regained his composure.
He smiled and quietly stood to the side to enjoy the drama.
Even though he didn’t quite understand
Why the current Family Head of the Zhou Family was treating his son like this,
The understanding or lack thereof was no longer important.
At present, for Young Master Liang of the Liang Family, what truly mattered was to watch the show.
To stand there attentively, meticulously, without missing a single detail.
It wasn’t often that one witnessed Young Master Zhou of the Zhou Family being beaten up so wildly, after all.
“Hey, Dad, you’re here too?”
“Quick, come over here, let’s watch the drama together…”
“Watching that lofty Young Master Zhou being beaten up by his own father, it’s really quite something.”
At this moment, Young Master Liang continued to speak with interest to his own father, who was rapidly approaching and seemed to be putting all his energy into it.
“Dad, please stand here.”
“This spot has a good view.”
When his father finally arrived,
Young Master Liang silently made room for the best view of the spectacle.
He had intended to watch the drama together with his father,
But, to Young Master Liang’s surprise,
As soon as his father arrived, he immediately raised his somewhat chubby yet powerful hand
And heavily smacked his face.
[Slap…]
The crisp sound gradually rose in the air.
Like the Zhou Family’s eldest son, Young Master Liang had now also joined the ranks of those being furiously beaten by their fathers.
…
An extremely peculiar turn of events unfolded.
Making most of the onlookers and cultivators present at the scene somewhat puzzled.
What in heaven’s name was going on?
Based on the development of events, shouldn’t the two Family Heads of the Five Great Families of Qingshi City have been supporting their sons?
And then there’s the standoff between the Zhou and Liang Families.
But, why…
Had things developed to such an extent?
It was quite baffling, truly baffling.
…
“Dad, what, what are you doing?”
“What’s this all about?”
Initially bewildered and having been soundly thrashed,
After coming back to his senses, both the Zhou Family’s eldest son and Young Master Liang swiftly created distance from their fathers,
And looked at their fathers with confusion.
However, their puzzled and inquiring gazes,
Failed to elicit any sympathy from their fathers.
Instead, they received an even harsher beating.
In the end, relentless punishment was the simple answer.
For now, at least the two of them hadn’t provoked the heir apparent of the next Family Head of the Luo Family of Qingshi City.
With that, there was still room for the situation to turn around.
Besides, no matter how fierce the beating, it wasn’t likely to be fatal or leave them maimed.
Should they anger Young Master Luo of the Luo Family, however, things would get complicated.
By then, if the two of them wanted to administer punishment, it would be too late.
…
“So, all this is a performance for my benefit?”
Luo Yao watched silently as the two pairs of fathers and sons unfolded before him.
He sighed softly to himself.
Forget it, forget it.
Since things had come to this,
And since the current heads of both the Zhou and Liang Families had stepped forward already,
And even went so far as to beat their sons so severely,
What could a member of the Luo Family like him do?
Most importantly of all…
The Zhou Family’s eldest son and Young Master Liang had not yet had the chance to strike him,
Or to speak ill of him.
