"Father, you’ve arrived at the perfect ti. This damned brat not only severely injured Jingwen, but he also spouted wild claims. He clearly has no respect for our Hou Family, we must teach him a proper lesson!"
Hou Yaoxing, seeing the old master Hou coming out, showed a delighted expression and hastily went up to speak.
Smack!
At that mont, a crisp slap suddenly resounded, startling everyone in the private room.
All saw Hou Xiangguo suddenly slap his own son, Hou Yaoxing, on the face, spinning him around, leaving him with a dumbfounded expression. Everyone else was equally stunned, not having expected the old master Hou to act so abruptly.
"Father, what are you doing? Why did you hit ?" Hou Yaoxing asked hastily as he recovered.
"You foolish son, do you know who he is?" Hou Xiangguo’s face darkened as he glared at Hou Yaoxing and demanded coldly.
"Who is he?" Hou Yaoxing’s gaze briefly swept over Ye Luo, not understanding the situation.
"He is the benefactor who saved my life today. If it weren’t for him, I might well be dead now," Hou Xiangguo said with a stern look.
Hou Yaoxing’s face showed shock, his eyes revealing astonishnt. Everyone else in the private room was equally taken aback, not expecting this man to be the old master Hou’s lifesaver. How quickly things had changed.
At this mont, Qin Yuru and the other won finally realized why Ye Luo, despite having beaten up the young master of the Hou Family, remained so fearless. It turned out there was this twist in the tale.
"Old master, I didn’t expect we would et again so soon," Ye Luo said, looking at Hou Xiangguo and speaking without any hint of respect in his tone.
But Hou Xiangguo quickly stepped forward, ca up to Ye Luo, and bowed slightly, saying:
"Young man, I was just sending people to look for you, intending to properly thank you. I didn’t expect such an incident to happen, I am truly sorry for the trouble this has caused you."
Seeing such a distinguished figure, a founding hero of Huaxia, before whom even the leaders of Huaxia would show respect, the old master Hou was apologizing so humbly to a young man in his twenties.
Everyone felt incredulous, but Ye Luo remained very calm, facing this great figure as if he were just an ordinary person, without any restraint whatsoever.
"But Father, he beat Jingwen to this state, and also inflicted serious injuries on our Hou Family guards. Are we just going to let this go?"
Hou Jingwen said with a look of unwillingness.
"Shut up. This young man is my lifesaver, a great benefactor of our Hou Family. No matter what, people from our Hou Family must not be ungrateful," Hou Xiangguo stated righteously.
"If this guy hadn’t co here for no reason, disturbing my al and trying to drive us away, I wouldn’t have laid a hand on him. I advise you to better discipline your brainless son. Otherwise, if he makes the sa mistake and ends up in my hands again, you might be looking at a corpse next ti," Ye Luo said disdainfully, casting a glance at Hou Yaoxing and snorting coldly.
"You..."
Hearing Ye Luo’s words, Hou Yaoxing’s face turned furious, his eyes ablaze with angry flas, his fists clenched tightly, suppressing the anger in his heart.
"The young man is right, there should indeed be so proper discipline." Hou Xiangguo nodded in agreent, his gaze shifting toward Hou Jingwen, lying on the ground in the distance. His eyes flashed with pity as he turned to Hou Yaoxing and said:
"From now on, discipline Jingwen well. I do not wish to see this kind of incident anymore. I do not want to see the descendants of Huaxia’s Hou Family acting recklessly and causing trouble outside simply because of their status," Hou Xiangguo said. "Send Jingwen to the hospital right away."
"Yes, Father. I will certainly teach Jingwen a good lesson," Hou Yaoxing said through gritted teeth and then quickly had Hou Jingwen lifted up and carried out of the private room, rushing him to the hospital.
"Young man, I owe you an apology here. To show my sincerity, all your expenses today at Tianxiang Pavilion are on the house. Whatever you need, please feel free to ask," Elder Shi said, addressing Ye Luo.
Hou Xiangguo looked at Ye Luo as he spoke, and at that mont, Hou Yaoyue also ca over and said:
"Sir, from now on, you are Tianxiang Pavilion’s most honored guest. This place has been disrupted and is inconvenient for dining. Why don’t we move to the Supre Private Room? I will serve you a lavish feast to properly express our apologies."
"Since you’ve offered, we won’t be shy," Ye Luo replied bluntly, not bothering with courtesies.
"No problem, it’s the least we can do," Hou Yaoyue said to Ye Luo with a smile.
"Elder, since you’re being so gracious, let tell you sothing. I can help you remove the bullet fragnt from your brain," Ye Luo said indifferently to Hou Xiangguo, his words changing the expressions of everyone present.
"Young brother, are you serious?" Hou Xiangguo asked, looking at Ye Luo incredulously, his shock mirrored in the eyes of Hou Yaoyang and Hou Yaoyue.
"Believe it or not, it’s up to you. Let’s go, shall we? Weren’t we heading to the Supre Private Room? I haven’t had my fill yet," Ye Luo said to Hou Yaoyue, who quickly led Ye Luo and his group away from there.
"Father, do you think he was telling the truth? Can he really remove the bullet fragnt from your brain?" Hou Yaoyang asked, his eyes flickering as he looked at Hou Xiangguo.
"If he dared to say it, he must be confident in his ability. Besides, I don’t think he is just anyone," Hou Xiangguo said gravely.
"It’s unbelievable that even the National Doctor of Mu Country has trouble removing the bullet fragnt from your brain, yet this young man in his twenties claims he can do it," Hou Yaoyang said with a sigh.
"Appearances can be deceiving. The true experts in this world are those unknown to us. However, I’m curious about the young man’s true identity."
At that mont, Hou Yaoyang narrowed his eyes and said, "Father, I think I might know who he is."
"Oh? Who?" Hou Xiangguo’s eyes turned to his son.
"If I’m not mistaken, he is the Ye Luo who has been the talk of the Capital City recently. He’s the one who disrupted the Ji Family heir’s engagent ceremony and took away Qin Yuru, the helmsman of the Qin Group. It’s said that even Elder Shi and the War God’s team ca out to support him," Hou Yaoyang recounted.
"He also killed Sun Yu, the young master of the Sun Family, and managed to cause a stir with one of the Grand Elders of the Tian Group, Sun Zhenying."
"This man is rumored to have represented Rejuvenation Pavilion a few months ago in a dical contest with a disciple of the Korean dicine master Konggu from Goryeo Kingdom, defeating him soundly and severely denting the morale of Goryeo’s Han dicine practitioners."
"Earlier, as part of the Special Security Bureau, he completed several extrely difficult tasks for the state in the Island Country, earning unanimous praise from several leaders, and was even awarded the rank of Junior General," Hou Yaoyang continued.
