He was resurrected indefinitely and handed over to the state by the headmistress.

When Zang Feng saw that Lu Chen's face had darkened, his heart skipped a beat. He thought that his son had not entertained the distinguished guest well and had neglected him. His anger flared up again.

He turned around and lashed the dragon in the lotus cage several more times with his belt, yelling and cursing as he did so.

"You bastard!"

Young Master Lu is here. Don't you know you should treat him to the best food and wine?

Did a donkey kick your brain?!

This is disrespectful to our guests! It shows a lack of manners!

Since the last incident in the newbie dungeon plaza,

Upon returning, Zang Feng used all his connections to secretly investigate Lu Chen.

He discovered that the access permissions for information about Lu Chen were extremely high, and he couldn't find any valuable information at all.

But that's precisely what's most terrifying!

The background and potential of someone who could be personally taken away by that "God of Slaughter" are self-evident!

He had long ago decided to cultivate a good relationship with Lu Chen before Lu Chen fully rose to power.

Unexpectedly, his good-for-nothing son...

Not only did they fail to build a good relationship, they also offended the other person.

Judging from Lu Chen's expression, he was definitely unhappy!

"Dad! Stop hitting me! I was wrong! I really know I was wrong!"

Canglong held his head and cried his heart out.

He now understood that he couldn't escape this beating no matter what.

Regardless of the truth, Dad needed someone to vent his anger on.

He couldn't bear to hit his uncle and cousin.

In the end, you'll only be the one who suffers.

"Brother-in-law?! You...you're not angry? This is Canglong's 'boyfriend'!"

Hua Wuji finally couldn't hold back any longer, pointing at Lu Chen and asking incredulously.

My brother-in-law's reaction is so unusual!

Instead of being angry, why was he so polite to the "culprit"?

Zang Feng then realized what was happening, his gaze shifting back and forth between Lu Chen and his own son, his expression uncertain, as if he were weighing something.

Finally, as if he had made up his mind, a smile returned to his face, and he turned to Lu Chen, asking cautiously:

"Young Master Lu... um,"

If you... really like this one...

I... I immediately arranged for someone to "strip him clean"!

What do you think? I guarantee it will be spotless, with absolutely no future problems!

"puff--!"

Hua Wuji almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Uncle! You..."

Hua Manyue was so shocked she couldn't speak; her mouth was agape enough to fit an egg.

"Dad! No! Dad! My own father! I'm your own son!"

The hidden dragon was terrified, struggling desperately in the lotus cage, its cries heart-wrenching.

"Boss! Boss Lu Chen! Please say something!"

I can't lose my little brother! A man can't live without it!

Lu Chen watched this family's chaotic performance, and the corner of his mouth twitched violently a few times.

Goodness, does this family... have some kind of problem?

They're all incredibly imaginative and ruthless; it feels like Canglong could sit at the same table as a dog.

However, considering that Zhu Qingqing said the Zang family were descendants of loyal martyrs, and that Zang Long had been quite sensible before, he didn't bother to argue any further.

He took a deep breath and spoke loudly:

"I, Lu Chen, hereby solemnly declare:"

First, I don't like men; my sexual orientation is perfectly normal!

Second, this one—"

He took Zhu Qingqing's hand and raised it up, saying, "Zhu Qingqing, she's my wife!"

Zhu Qingqing was caught off guard when Lu Chen publicly declared his "sovereignty" over her.

Two blushes instantly appeared on her usually cool face. She lowered her head slightly, but did not break free from Lu Chen's hand.

Lu Chen continued:

"Uncle Zang, I've come to your residence at the invitation of Zang Long, and also to... lend a small favor."

Unexpectedly, I was misunderstood as soon as I entered the door and almost got beaten up.

"About this matter, what do you think..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zang Feng's expression changed instantly.

The anger that had just been suppressed surged up again, even more intensely than before!

His aura suddenly erupted, and the pressure of a level 100 expert caused the surrounding air to freeze.

"Who?! Who dares to hit you?! I'll kill him!!"

Zang Feng's beard and hair stood on end, his gaze sweeping across the entire area like lightning, finally settling on Zang Long.

"You brat, was that you?! Is this how you treat our honored guests?!"

Unable to find anyone else, his anger naturally turned to Canglongtou, and he raised his belt as if to strike him.

"Ouch—! It hurts—! Dad, stop hitting me! I was wrong! It was all a misunderstanding!"

Hidden Dragon screamed repeatedly, feeling incredibly wronged.

But he knew that explaining anything at this point would be useless, so he could only silently pray that his father would go easy on him.

"Ahem... Brother-in-law, it's... it's me."

Hua Wuji blushed and awkwardly raised his hand.

After all that commotion, it turned out I had misunderstood and almost hit my esteemed guest. What a huge blunder!

"You? Why?"

Zang Feng frowned, unable to understand why his usually steady brother-in-law would be so reckless.

"Dad! Listen to me! This is what happened..."

Zanglong seized the opportunity and quickly recounted the whole story.

After hearing Canglong's explanation, Cangfeng's anger did not subside; instead, his resentment grew even stronger!

He raised the seven wolves again and gave Canglong's buttocks an even harder beating, cursing as he did so:

"You bastard!"

Is your mouth only for eating shit?!

Can't even speak properly?!

Would it kill you to explain this earlier?!

what? !

You almost scared young Brother Lu! Can you take responsibility for that?!

I'll beat you to death, you worthless piece of trash!

"Waaaaah—"

This time, Canglong truly shed tears, his heart filled with a sense of injustice, as if stuffed with cotton.

He knew that among everyone present, he was the most suitable punching bag, and that he had taken the beating for nothing.

"Hehe, sorry, young brother Lu, look at the mess you've made..."

Exhausted and panting, Zang Feng turned to Lu Chen again, his face once more plastered with a fawning smile. He rubbed his hands together, his tone humble.

"It's all my fault for failing to raise my son properly and for not being strict enough with his upbringing. I've disturbed you."

Whatever compensation you need, just say the word!

My collector will do everything in my power to satisfy you!

Seeing that his attitude was quite sincere, Lu Chen's displeasure dissipated.

He waved his hand: "Uncle Zang, let's just let it go this time. I don't need any compensation."

"It's getting late, let's put Canglong down first and get on with our business."

"Important business?" Zang Feng was taken aback. What important business?

However, he reacted very quickly, immediately echoing Lu Chen's words:

"Okay! No problem! I'll follow Brother Lu's arrangements!"

He then glared at Hua Wuji and scolded him:

"Put this brat down right now! His recklessness almost caused a disaster!"

"Yes, brother-in-law!"

Knowing he was in the wrong, Hua Wuji quickly waved his hand to remove the Lotus Blood Hand.

"Ouch!"

Canglong fell from mid-air, landing on his bottom, wincing in pain.

He was beaten by his uncle before, then by his father, and now he's been thrown to the ground. He's really had the worst luck today.

"You!"

Hua Wuji walked to his daughter Hua Manyue's side, tapped her forehead with his finger, and scolded her.

"In the future, don't always believe everything you hear. Use your brain more and ask more questions to clarify things!"

Do you know how close we got to disaster?

Hua Manyue shrank back in grievance and muttered under her breath:

"I...I thought what Sister Ruhua said was true..."

Otherwise, why wouldn't my cousin be interested in such a beautiful woman like her?

Even I was almost tempted, there's no reason why my cousin wouldn't like it...

Her words made Hua Wuji uneasy.

Yes, that girl from the Ran family is beautiful and comes from a good family, so why does my nephew just not like her?

Could it be... that he/she really has some hidden illness?

It seems I need to find some time to take him to see a psychologist.
