I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

When Zheng Hongye and Zheng Shaoqing returned to the Zheng family's old residence, Zheng Hongyin and his father Zheng Shixun were already waiting for them.

Zheng Hongyin busied himself, personally serving tea and water, massaging shoulders, backs, and legs.

"Dad, Big Brother!"

"How is Zhanming doing? Is he alright?"

Zheng Hongye's smile was stiff; he still had to act, and his attitude needed to be correct.

Zheng Shaoqing, standing behind him, couldn't even manage a smile.

"How dare you mention Zhan Ming?"

Jung Se-hoon grabbed a cane from the side and slammed it into the ground. "Kneel down!"

"Dad, don't be angry, your health is important!"

Zheng Hongye knelt down quickly, as if he had been prepared in advance. "It's all my fault, please calm down and don't hurt yourself."

As he spoke, he glared at his son, and Zheng Shaoqing had no choice but to kneel down reluctantly as well.

"I'm not angry..."

Jung Se-hoon swung his cane at Jung Hong-ye on the back, "How can you expect me not to be angry?"

"Tell me, what happened to Zhanming? Did you have someone hurt him?"

"Now that Hongyin is in charge, you can tell me anything you have to say or anything you're unhappy about!"

"We're all family, did you really have to hurt Zhan Ming like that?"

"Zhanming is not only my grandson, he's also your nephew. He calls you Second Uncle!"

Zheng Hongye quickly explained, "Dad, this is a misunderstanding. I'm also heartbroken that Zhanming is injured!"

"We were entertaining a leader of the Shadow Martial Hall at the Cloud Top Restaurant at the time. Zhan Ming happened to be in a hurry to use that private room, which led to a conflict."

"They're all young and hot-tempered. I never expected Zhan Ming to suddenly attack; there was no time to stop him!"

"Besides, Qin Ge is a master; even if I wanted to stop him, there's no way I could..."

Zheng Shaoqing's eyes lit up when he heard this. So this matter could be described?

As expected, experience is the best teacher. How come I didn't think of that?

The old man is trying to shirk all responsibility. He says he was wrong, but in reality, everything he says is Zheng Zhanming's fault!

Even if Qin Ge is also at fault, there's nothing we can do because of his special status!

It seems they've even set a trap for Zheng Hongyin...

Zheng Shixun was stunned for a while, clearly because the information was quite different from what he expected and he couldn't process it for a moment.

He glanced at Zheng Hongyin, who immediately said, "Hongye, what you're saying doesn't seem quite right, does it?"

"I heard that the one who injured Zhan Ming was a young man, but in your words he's the head of the Shadow Martial Hall!"

"It seems that young man named Qin Ge is Qiu Yi's boyfriend, right? Although he said he was from the Shadow Martial Hall, that hasn't been verified yet. Now that he's in front of Dad, he's suddenly become the hall master?"

"You can't deliberately elevate that person's status to shirk responsibility and spout nonsense in front of Dad, can you?"

Zheng Shaoqing was struggling to suppress his laughter. His father was truly brilliant; Zheng Hongyin had indeed fallen for his trick!

Those who don't know Qin Ge's background would find it hard to believe that he is the head of a branch of the Shadow Martial Hall.

"Brother, I know Zhanming hurt you and it's tough for you, but I'm telling the truth!"

Zheng Hongye looked completely innocent. "It's true that Qin Ge and Qiu Yi are together, but he really is the head of the Shadow Martial Hall, at least that's what he said."

"Wait a minute!" Zheng Shixun looked suspicious. "Isn't Qiu Yi already engaged to the Liang family? How come she has another boyfriend?"

"How come you've never mentioned something this big?"

"Dad, this was a decision made by Hongye and the others on their own; I wasn't aware of it beforehand," Zheng Hongyin seized the opportunity to fan the flames.

"Qiuyi is, after all, Hongye's daughter. There's a difference in kinship, and I can't control that!"

"My prestige is far inferior to yours, Father. It's understandable that they sometimes don't take me, the head of the family, seriously. We're all family, there's nothing to fuss about."

"Over the years, I've worked tirelessly for the Zheng family, but no matter how hard I try, I can't make up for my lack of ability. If it weren't for my concern for your health, Father, I would really want you to come back and take charge!"

He looked down at Zheng Hongye, "Hongye, you keep saying that Qin Ge is some kind of hall master, so he must have some skills, right?"

"If I send someone to deal with him, won't he be able to handle it?"

Zheng Hongye exclaimed in surprise, "Big brother, you sent someone to look for Qin Ge?!"

"You didn't really send someone to Cloud Dwelling Abode, did you?"

"What's wrong, getting nervous?" Zheng Hongyin was even more pleased with Zheng Hongye's reaction. "I really didn't expect you to care so much about this future son-in-law!"

"There's no use being nervous now. Butler Zhou and the others are already on their way and should be arriving at Yunxi Residence soon!"

"But you don't need to worry too much. Although Butler Zhou is a master, didn't you say Qin Ge is some kind of hall master?"

"As far as I know, the leader of the Shadow Martial Hall must be at least a Heavenly Realm expert, so dealing with Steward Zhou shouldn't be a problem!"

"Qin Ge broke both of Zhan Ming's legs and still dared to leave his address. This is no longer a simple conflict, but a provocation against our Zheng family!"

"If we do nothing, how will the Zheng family maintain its foothold in Beidu?"

"Brother, we can't go to Yunxi Residence!" Zheng Hongye shouted anxiously, but in reality, he was overjoyed by this unexpected surprise.

Zheng Hongyin, you're really confused. You lost your composure when you saw your son being beaten up.

It's one thing if you don't know what happened at Yunxi Residence, but you actually sent Steward Zhou there without even asking around. Isn't that just asking for trouble?

Poor Steward Zhou, the Zheng family's top expert, went to Yunxi Residence without knowing anything about the situation, and no one knows what the outcome will be.

"Oh? Tell me why you can't go?" Zheng Hongyin looked at his younger brother with interest. "It seems you're really worried about Qin Ge, your future son-in-law!"

"You still dare to say that Qin Ge injured Zhan Ming not at your behest?!"

Zheng Hongye returned a look that seemed to express pity for someone with intellectual disabilities. "Big brother, it's not what you're saying!"

"You really don't know what happened at Yunxi Residence?"

"You'd better call Butler Zhou back right now, or it'll be too late!"

Zheng Hongyin sneered, "Don't worry, Butler Zhou will come back, and he'll bring Qin Ge back with him!"

"I'll definitely ask Qin Ge a good question then, and find out who ordered him to injure Zhan Ming!"

"If you're feeling guilty, you still have a chance to tell the truth."

"Out of consideration for our family ties, I can plead for you on your behalf for deceiving Father. Otherwise, once I find out the truth, the situation will be completely different!"

Zheng Shaoqing also spoke up, "Uncle, what my father said is true. I think you should call Butler Zhou back right away!"

He really couldn't hold it in any longer; if he didn't say something soon, he might burst out laughing.

The father was really good at this; he knew perfectly well that Zheng Hongyin wouldn't listen to advice, but he still tried his best to dissuade him.

While luring Zheng Hongyin into a trap, they also completely shirked their responsibility.

I advised you, but you wouldn't listen.
