Chapter 807: Chapter 274 Oath Chapter 807: Chapter 274 Oath Xin Huaide was scared out of his wits.
Because, this Lu Yitian…
This position.
This submissiveness.
This tone of voice…
This…
What the hell… master?
What the heck… where is the connection?
Is this still the Thunder Blade Guest Lu Yitian?
Damn…
Actually, it wasn’t just him, the other mbers of the Xin family were also stunned by this scene.
The situation they were witnessing was just too horrifying.
Each and every one here was a Heavenly Level expert. Even within their own families, such experts wouldn’t grovel so obsequiously to the family head, right?!
No, this was not just re submissiveness.
This was clearly… the utmost kowtowing and groveling!
Although the cultivation of Lu Yitian and the others was not yet comparable to his, but then…
So, who is the person inside that room who deserves such treatnt from these high-level martial artists?
They only heard an old voice from inside the room say, “You co to for such trivial matters, what’s the use of having you?!”
It was just such a simple sentence, yet those dozen or so n started shivering violently all at once.
“Yes, yes, we are… foolish and can’t think of… a solution…”
Lu Yitian’s teeth were chattering, his body trembling like a sieve.
And this condition made the hearts of everyone in the Xin family sink, a chill creeping from their throat all the way down to their toes.
Shit, I’ve never encountered anything so horrifying in my entire life!
“Elder! Elder! This is a misunderstanding!” Xin Huaide struggled and scread hoarsely.
But the voice paid him no heed, rely saying indifferently to Lu Yitian and the others, “A bunch of senseless fools dared to step on my doorstep and wreck my house! Even the Nine Colors Supre doesn’t have the audacity to do this! It’s simply outrageous! I don’t care about their backgrounds, I just want one thing.”
“Please show us the way, Master!”
Everyone held their breath in anticipation.
“Don’t let them die too easily! As for the rest… see to it yourselves.”
The old voice said indifferently, “You’ve been relatively well-behaved these days, so today can be considered an opportunity for you to relax.”
Upon hearing this, Xin Huaide’s eyes rolled back, and he fainted spectacularly.
It’s over!
Even the Nine Colors Supre doesn’t have such audacity — is this sothing that a person would say?
The one who could utter such words had either been killed early on, or, could kill anyone!
The faces of the others were also struck by thunder, showing an ash-gray hue of despair.
Soon, they saw a group of vicious-looking fellows walking over, sneering.
“Finally, I can have so fun today. These days have really suffocated …”
…
The early morning had arrived in the blink of an eye, as Xin Qianqiu awoke from a daze, not knowing how long he had been sitting there. He was just reflecting on his past life.
After reminiscing about bygone days, he could only sigh endlessly.
He rembered that ti when his son caused trouble outside, ending up on the hit list of the Heavenly Judge and was dragged back to the family by himself. He had directly broken both of his legs and forced him to recite the family rules over and over again, pushing him to swear a venomous oath to reform and never commit offenses again.
He also rembered that poisonous oath his eldest son had taken.
“Henceforth, I will turn over a new leaf, beco a new person, be kind, and be good! If I break this vow, let the heavens punish with a humiliating death!”
At that ti, Xin Qianqiu was furious and scolded, “What do you an by a humiliating death? Such vague terms, what kind of oath is that?!”
As a result, Xin Huaide swore, “…If I break this oath, I will endure endless suffering and be subjected to infinite humiliation, dying from forcible indignity!”
When Xin Qianqiu heard this vow back then, he felt chilled to the bone. He truly thought the oath was too malicious, beyond words.
He then judged that his son was truly remorseful, so he let him go.
But reflecting on it now, he couldn’t help but smile wryly.
This was clearly a nonsense rationale. How would a man be forcibly defiled to death by another man?
At that ti, that boy was playing mind gas with him, tricking both him and the heavens!
“When my cultivation has recovered, and I return, I’ll have the energy to deal with your antics. If you don’t improve by then, I would rather lock you up in the family for half of your remaining life!”
Xin Qianqiu made up his mind silently.
At this mont, there was a sudden strange noise at the door, and it was Doctor Feng who pushed the door and walked in.
Upon seeing Xin Qianqiu, Feng Yin was taken aback for a mont. He had not expected that the elderly man would have been sitting here all night without even lighting a lamp.
“Why do you trouble yourself so, Elder?”
Feng Yin couldn’t help saying.
“In this life, I have acted with a clear conscience, but I cannot absolve myself from the wrongdoing of my son. I have contemplated the whole night in this precious place about how to discipline him.”
Xin Qianqiu sighed, “I have embarrassed myself in front of Doctor Feng.”
Feng Yin’s gaze flickered for a mont as he spoke softly, “The sins they have committed will have their own retribution; there is no need for you to bla yourself so.”
“But after all, I am their father. If a child is not taught, the fault lies with the parent. It’s not just a matter of talk.”
Xin Qianqiu gave a wry smile.
“Others may shirk their responsibilities, but I, alone, cannot evade mine no matter what I say.”
Feng Yin remained silent then slowly extended three pills.
“These three pills, if you take two of them, should restore your old vigor and bring you back to your pri.”
Xin Qianqiu was stunned, “Two pills are already enough, why are there three?”
“As for this third one… consider it an extra gift for you, to be kept for a rainy day. I believe you are aware of the drawbacks of this miracle pill; it must be preserved with the coldest of ice to maintain its potency. In tis of crisis, it might prove useful.”
Feng Yin said softly, “If you feel you don’t deserve this, consider it… a small compensation for the fourfold consultation fee. You have been upright and chivalrous for many years; such reward is only right and fair, for justice resides in the hearts of people.”
Xin Qianqiu said excitedly, “Thank you, Doctor Feng!”
He carefully stored the third pill away, feeling that all the years he had spent upholding justice were truly worth it!
But following that was the sha he felt from his son’s behavior, which was even more profound.
“Well, if you have no objections, take them here,” Feng Yin said.
“All right.”
“In that case, I won’t disturb you while you take your dicine. After you have recovered, you can leave on your own.”
Feng Yin smiled, exited through the door amidst Xin Qianqiu’s profuse thanks, and when he stepped into the snow, he finally let out a sigh.
“Right and wrong, rits and faults, need not be so clearly distinguished, but… how can one truly not make the distinction?”
Was that extra pill really, as Feng Yin said, a compensation for being chivalrous? A payback for fourfold the consultation fee?
Justice resides in the hearts of people?
Feng Yin chuckled bitterly to himself and quickly disappeared into the snow.
…
When Xin Qianqiu ca out to et his brother Xin Qianli, the two brothers were overjoyed.
Even though they had complete confidence in Doctor Feng’s unfailing treatnts, Xin Qianli still harbored a sliver of doubt in his heart.
After all, the doctor… had reservations against the Xin family.
It wasn’t until he saw his brother, full of life, vitality and ruddy complexion, that he finally eased the worry he had been holding in his heart.
The feeling of strength and youthful vigor, long absent, almost brought Xin Qianli to tears.
Ever since his brother was injured, he had been living in a twilight state for years. No matter how spirited he seed, the underlying despair had always been felt by those around him.
But today… it was different!
Absolutely different!
The spirit and radiance seed to overflow from his bones, spilling out without stopping!
“Brother… Are you well??”
Xin Qianli approached, looking at Xin Qianqiu with excitent, asking the question he already knew the answer to, yet still asking reflexively.
“Well! Completely well!”
Xin Qianqiu’s eyes also reddened as he patted Xin Qianli’s shoulders heavily: “You’ve worked hard these past years. From now on, I’ll take on the family matters.”
Xin Qianli’s eyes imdiately reddened, and he felt like he was a child again.
No matter what trouble he got into or who he offended, there was always a voice in his ear saying, “What’s there to be afraid of, your brother is here to take care of you.”
That incomparable sense of security and reliance had returned!
“Good, good, good.”
Xin Qianli replied softly with a thick nasal voice, nodding vigorously.
“Let’s go ho!”
“Ho!”
Xin Qianli followed behind Xin Qianqiu, complaining as they walked, “Brother, those little bastards of yours are beyond redemption if left undisciplined, almost inhuman! For the tiniest benefits, they’d disregard kinship. When we get back, they must be severely punished!”
“Hmm.”
Xin Qianqiu said, “I know. It’s a fortunate turn of fate that I have recovered. I must rectify our family’s ways. Otherwise, how can we live up to our ancestors’ legacy? If we continue to allow those beasts to act recklessly, it will only bring sha to our forebears and we will not be able to rest.”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Xin Qianli agreed readily.
“When we return, regardless of whether they repent or not, each one will be confined for ten years to start.”
Xin Qianqiu’s eyes showed determination, “If they still do not repent, better to confine them for life than to let them bring disaster upon the world!”
Xin Qianli was startled, “Confinent for life? Brother, isn’t that too harsh? They are your own sons. Huai Dao has just left us, and if you confine them…”
“Confinent isn’t the sa as imprisonnt. It just ans they’re not allowed to leave the house. Our Xin family owns a vast land, how could that smother them? But to let them run wild… Look at what happened to Huai Dao… ah.”
Xin Qianqiu sighed deeply, “They have made too many enemies in the jianghu. Despite being restrained on this trip out compared to before, wasn’t he still killed right under our noses…”
“I’d rather confine them for life than see them killed, better than having to bury my own children. Last night’s conversation with Doctor Feng made reflect more on the karma of this world, it’s not that it won’t be repaid, it’s just a matter of ti.”
Xin Qianli was silent.
Just let out a deep sigh.
