Chapter 109 Fang Yaozu's Arrogance
Fang Yaozu's expression shifted. He stepped forward and said, "Try laying a hand on me! My uncle is the head of the Yu family. If you dare to touch me, my uncle will not let you off!"
As soon as he spoke, many wealthy individuals gritted their teeth in hatred, their faces revealing a hint of terror.
The Yu family was a prominent family in the provincial capital. While they were all wealthy, they were still far inferior to the Yu family.
Seeing the fearful gazes, Fang Yaozu revealed a hint of pride.
Heh heh, scared now, aren't you! How can you afford to offend the Yu family?
"Then I'll seek your guidance on magical artifacts another day."
Fang Yaozu said slowly and waved his hand, intending to leave with Master Lu.
"Others may fear you, but I, Murong Yuan, do not. You're not leaving today!" Murong Yuan said with a grim expression.
Fang Yaozu stopped, his face contorted as he stared at Murong Yuan. "Mr. Murong, do you really intend to oppose me, Fang Yaozu?"
"If the head of the Yu family were here personally, perhaps I would give him some face. But you, a mere brat, dare to harm the wealthy magnates of Jiangbei. I will absolutely not let this slide!"
Murong Yuan had no intention of backing down.
Fang Yaozu was sweating profusely, anxious.
"Guards, give Young Master Fang a lesson." Murong Yuan waved and called a few people over.
But at that moment, a servant suddenly rushed in, panicking. "The head of the Yu family has arrived with his men! I couldn't stop them, and they're already heading this way..."
As soon as this was said, the entire place fell silent.
Even Murong Yuan's expression changed dramatically.
Everyone held their breath, daring not to exhale.
They never expected the head of the Yu family to show up!
If the head of the Yu family came, who would dare to touch Fang Yaozu?
Not only would the wealthy of Jiangbei suffer, but Chen Xuan would also be in trouble!
Zhou Tiancheng showed a worried expression. Chen Xuan had exposed Fang Yaozu, and Fang Yaozu would likely not let Chen Xuan off.
He couldn't help but glance at Chen Xuan, but he saw that Chen Xuan's expression was completely opposite to that of the wealthy Jiangbei magnates. He appeared calm and exuded a subtle confidence, as if he had known Yu Tiansheng would arrive.
Fang Yaozu blinked in surprise, doubting if he had heard correctly. Why would Yu Tiansheng come to such an occasion? He suddenly looked at the servant and quickly asked, "Who has arrived?"
The servant swallowed and replied, "The head of the Yu family."
Fang Yaozu confirmed it, and his face instantly lit up with unbridled joy!
He narrowed his eyes, fished out his ear, coughed a couple of times, and stared at Murong Yuan, saying, "Ahem, Mr. Murong, you said earlier that you wouldn't let me leave, right? Did I hear that correctly?"
Murong Yuan's face turned ashen. "You used Gu worm breeding vessels to impersonate magical artifacts and harmed the wealthy of Jiangbei. I will discuss this matter with the head of the Yu family."
Fang Yaozu scoffed and shouted, "Murong Yuan, you old geezer, why are you acting so high and mighty? My uncle is here, do you dare to fart?"
Murong Yuan was so angered by these words that he couldn't breathe, his face flushing red. It seemed his condition had flared up. He gasped, "Good... good... you, Fang..."
Fang Yaozu curled his lips. "It serves you right to die of anger, you old geezer."
"Mr. Murong, there's no need to get angry. I'll make him apologize to you later."
With that, Chen Xuan raised his hand and tapped a few pressure points on Murong Yuan's chest.
Murong Yuan thought Chen Xuan was boasting and was about to warn Chen Xuan, but the next moment, the tightness in his chest disappeared.
He had suffered from coronary heart disease for many years. When his condition acted up, he usually had to take quick-acting heart-saving pills to dilate his blood vessels. Yet, Chen Xuan had cured him with just a few taps.
This was too miraculous!
He stared at Chen Xuan in astonishment.
"Huh? You still want me to apologize?"
Fang Yaozu was somewhat surprised that Chen Xuan dared to show his face in this situation. His gaze fell on Chen Xuan, his expression filled with malice. He said viciously, "Kid, you exposed me earlier and ruined my grand plan. Today, I will definitely make you pay the price!"
Chen Xuan smiled playfully. "What price do you want me to pay?"
"Kneel before me and lick my feet. Perhaps I'll spare you today. Otherwise, I'll make your life worse than death," Fang Yaozu said fiercely.
"Fang Yaozu, they may fear you, but I, Zhou Tiancheng, do not!"
Zhou Tiancheng shouted indignantly, "If you dare to touch a single hair on my brother-in-law's head, we are not done!"
He originally didn't want to cause trouble for the Su family, but now that Fang Yaozu was threatening Chen Xuan, he had to step forward.
"Brother-in-law?" Fang Yaozu was stunned, then seemed to remember something. His sinister gaze scanned Chen Xuan from head to toe.
Zhou Tiancheng realized he had let it slip and his face changed slightly. He quickly covered his mouth.
If Fang Yaozu found out Chen Xuan's identity, this Fang Yaozu would probably turn into a rabid dog.
Fang Yaozu stared at Chen Xuan and said sinisterly, "I didn't expect you to be that Chen Xuan from Jiangzhou."
Chen Xuan nodded calmly. "You guessed right."
Chen Xuan?
The wealthy individuals present all knew of a young man in Jiangzhou who dared to oppose the Yu family. They hadn't expected it to be this young man before them. They looked at Chen Xuan with strange expressions.
Fang Yaozu licked his lips and said grimly, "Kneel down now, and I might let you suffer a little less pain when I torture you later. Otherwise, when my uncle arrives, your fate might not be so simple."
"Do you really think Yu Tiansheng is here for you?" Chen Xuan smiled.
"Why else? Stop talking nonsense and kneel down for me!" Fang Yaozu said coldly.
Chen Xuan's expression turned cold. "When Yu Tiansheng arrives, he will have to kneel and call me 'Dad.' Who do you think you are to dare tell me to kneel?"
Kneel? Call 'Dad'?
Fang Yaozu's fury erupted, and he shouted, "You dare! You clearly won't shed a tear until you see the coffin! Just you wait!"
The wealthy magnates of Jiangbei looked at Chen Xuan with surprise.
To speak like that, wasn't he too arrogant?
Murong Yuan sighed inwardly at Chen Xuan's audacity.
Chen Xuan had used some unknown method to help him earlier. He was willing to offend Yu Tiansheng and protect Chen Xuan, but Chen Xuan had made a grave mistake by saying such things. If he stepped forward now, he wouldn't be able to resolve the situation.
Zhou Tiancheng said with a grim face, "Brother-in-law, there's a back door over there. Quickly go and avoid the storm. I'll hold him back."
Chen Xuan smiled and shook his head. "Since I'm here, it's just right."
"Brother-in-law, it's wise to listen to advice. If you continue like this, you might truly be finished," Zhou Tiancheng couldn't help but say.
"Kid, you are truly too arrogant! My uncle is here, and if he doesn't skin you alive, then I'll lose!" Fang Yaozu said with a smug smile.
Before his words could fall, two men rushed into the hall. One was gorgeously dressed, clearly a wealthy man, while the other had disheveled hair and looked like a beggar.
As the two entered, their gazes swept across the hall. Upon seeing Chen Xuan's face, their eyes immediately focused.
Then, the disheveled man stumbled forward. He fell to his knees before Chen Xuan and repeatedly kowtowed, saying, "I... I know I was wrong. I... shouldn't have broken my oath. Please spare me."
Chen Xuan looked at the disheveled man with some surprise. It seemed the Karma Talisman was terrifying enough to torture the proud head of the Yu family into a pathetic state.
Fang Yaozu looked at the disheveled man with disgust. Seizing the opportunity, he began to mock Zhou Tiancheng again. "Zhou Tiancheng, you're the young master of Jiangzhou, yet you don't even have basic security measures. You actually let a beggar sneak in. Can't you even afford security guards? I'll send you a few."
Zhou Tiancheng, however, frowned. He felt the disheveled man looked familiar. Suddenly, his eyes widened in surprise, and he looked at Chen Xuan, then at the disheveled man...
What the hell, how is it him? Is this brother-in-law of mine an immortal? To make him kneel?
Seeing Zhou Tiancheng unmoved, Fang Yaozu shouted at the disheveled man, "Damn it, you stinking beggar, where did you come from? My uncle will be here soon, get out of here, quickly!"
Upon hearing Fang Yaozu's words, Yu Tiansheng slowly raised his head and cast a cold glance at Fang Yaozu.
Fang Yaozu's gaze met Yu Tiansheng's. He felt as if something was stuck in his throat, and his face flushed with terror. He stammered, "Unc... Uncle, why are you here?"
