Under the gazes of everyone, Xia Qingchen slowly stood up. He calmly spoke, Thank you to all the guests who came here for my grandfathers birthday celebration. You guys can continue, I will bid my farewell first.

The situation of the banquet was already bad to this extent. There was no longer a need for him to continue partic.i.p.ating.

But if he wished to leave, would Li Yaozong permit him to?

Hold it right there! Li Yaozongs countenance was green.

Xia Qingchen indifferently glanced at him. Frog in the well, why are you stopping me?

Li Yaozongs face turned rigid. He then spoke, Your words are rude and have insulted the students of the martial pavilions upper court. This is a sign of disrespect to the martial pavilion. As a part of the martial pavilion, I cannot stand aside and ignore this.

He had completely lost all face and wanted to depend on this to gain back some.

You are originally a frog in the well. Im merely speaking the truth. If you feel that your existence has insulted the martial pavilion, why dont you just quit and leave? Dont continue to blacken the reputation of the martial pavilion, Xia Qingchen seriously suggested.

Li Yaozongs heart burned in fury. Anger showed on his face. The one surnamed Xia. Stop being an annoying troublemaker. Now, in the name of a student of the martial pavilions upper court, Im going to punish you!

Xia Qingchen didnt say anything. He merely stared at Xia Cangliu, Xia Xun, and Xia Qilin.

The three of them were all silent, not a single one of them stepped out to speak for him.

Silence was equivalent to tacit approval.

Maybe they felt that Xia Qingchen was in too much of a limelight today. They hoped to use some outsiders to ruthlessly suppress his arrogance.

At this moment, Xia Qingchen was completely disappointed with the kins.h.i.+p of the Xia Clan.

Other than bloodline, he didnt have a shred of connection with the Northern Xia Manor.

But the guests actually wanted to speak up for Xia Qingchen. They wanted to use this chance to rope him in so that they could ask for the divine water.

But upon glancing at Li Weifeng who was remaining silent and slowly drinking his tea, no one dared to speak.

It seemed like Li Weifeng also wanted his son to act to diminish Xia Qingchens sharpness.

Xia Yuan strode over with a heavy expression.

Being in the Northern Xia Manor was like being in an enemys nest. His own kin didnt even support them with any protective words.

This caused his kins.h.i.+p feeling to waver.

Who dares to touch my son? Xia Yuan bellowed.

Li Weifengs brows twitched. He calmly stared at Xia Yuan. Manor Lord Xia, just treat it as a spar between the younger generations. You, as an elder, should just watch from the side.

Spar?

What a joke!

Someone who was eliminated from the martial pavilions examination against a member of the martial pavilion? It would be a one-sided beating!

Li Weifeng was intentionally allowing his son to do this!

He was about to say something, but Xia Qingchen calmly interjected, Father, I can settle this myself.

Xia Yuan was startled. He gazed at Xia Qingchen who was being encircled by the crowd. An unfamiliar feeling arose in his heart.

It was like his son grew up overnight and had matured to the point where he couldnt recognize him.

His heart wavered for a moment. Xia Yuan then spoke, Alright, be careful.

He decided that he would definitely act to save his son at a crucial moment. He absolutely wouldnt allow his son to be humiliated and insulted even if he would offend Li Weifeng!

You have guts! Li Yaozong sneered. As per your insult to the martial pavilion, Ive decided to press you down on the ground so you can learn to bark like a dog! Ill let you know that in this world where the strong eat the weak. If you are not among the strong, you should act like a dog and lower your head. If you incline your head, you would only be smacked harshly and end up feeling extremely pained!

Your granny! Whats wrong with being a dog? This doggy master is going to bite you to death. You are just something that has no father to teach you! the little puppy cursed.

He scolded Li Yaozong and Li Weifeng at the same time.

Little b.a.s.t.a.r.d. I will kill you later! Li Yaozong cast an evil glare over. Everyone stepped back! Watch how I punish those disrespectful to the martial pavilion!

The group of people retreated, leaving a huge empty s.p.a.ce.

Li Yaozong put his arms together and activated the four great meridians in his body. From the surface of his skin, a faint white qi could be seen.

This was the inner force of the fourth radiance-level at the minor constellation stage!

Kneel and call me grandpa! Li Yaozong strode over, issuing a palm strike at Xia Qingchens head.

Calmness was reflected in Xia Qingchens eyes. It was like he had no intention of blocking.

Only when his opponent was within three feet of him did he casually lift his palm.

Pak~

He moved later, but his attack reached before Li Yaozongs. A slap smacked into Li Yaozongs face.

The resounding noise was extremely clear, echoing loud throughout the entire place!

Li Yaozong was caught off guard and stumbled from that slap.

He covered his numb and swollen face, yet he couldnt cover the shock in his eyes.

He was filled with disbelief. He clearly attacked first, yet why was he the one slapped?

However, this caused him to be even angrier. d.a.m.n YOU, YOU ARE COURTING DEATH!

Li Yaozong lunged over in hatred. He was extremely ferocious. Just his aura alone was enough to frighten people.

Pak~

Xia Qingchen issued another casual slap, forcing Li Yaozong who was lunging over to retreat from the impact.

He was in the air and his mouth was filled with blood due to his two front teeth being knocked out.

Thud!

This time, he directly smashed into a table. The countless dishes and cups of wine on the table overturned on him. He was in an extremely miserable state.

Everyone was completely shocked.

If it had been a coincidence earlier, in that case, was this second slap still one?

Finally, someone discovered that a faint white qi was also emitting from Xia Qingchens body.

He is at the fourth radiance-level of the minor constellation stage!

How can it be? Two months ago, he was still at the third radiance-level!

They didnt know that Xia Qingchens true strength was actually equivalent to the fifth radiance-level of the minor constellation stage.

Xia Qingchen had his hands crossed behind his back as he walked toward Li Yaozong. He calmly spoke, The thing I loathe the most is this mouth of yours. You are noisy and your words are unpleasant to hear.

F*ck your mother! Li Yaozong was completely enraged. He took out a dagger and jumped about like a fish out of water.

However, even before he had the time to pierce forth with it, his hand that was holding on to the dagger was already grabbed by Xia Qingchen.

At the same time, Xia Qingchen stretched out his other hand and continuously issued ten slaps on Li Yaozongs face.

Each slap caused blood to splatter.

Li Yaozhong was angry, but he could do nothing about it. He was like a child being grabbed by Xia Qingchen, completely helpless. He could only allow himself to be slapped.

After the tenth slap, Li Yaozongs cheeks were as swollen as a baboons b.u.t.tocks.

He was smacked silly from the palm force and felt extremely giddy. He wasnt able to differentiate things clearly and slumped to the ground like a pile of rotten mud.

So this is a student from the martial pavilions upper court? Xia Qingchen indifferently spoke. Truthfully speaking, it is pretty weak.

Silence descended on this place.

They were shocked by Xia Qingchens cultivation base breakthrough and were filled with trepidation toward Li Weifeng who had a gloomy look on his face.

Xia Qingchen actually beat up his son so badly before him!

Xia Xun was also so angered that he was trembling!

If Li Weifeng s.h.i.+fted his rage onto their Northern Xia Manor, in the future, how would his son Xia Qilin still have any good days?

Upon thinking of this, he roared out in rage, Xia Qingchen, how can you commit such violent acts in public?!

His roar of anger caused many of the guests to wake up from their dazed state. All of them remained silent as they continued to observe. It seemed like Xia Xun wanted to make it clear that he was not on Xia Qingchens side.

Yet, Xia Qingchen didnt even look straight at him. He moved one of his feet and stepped upon Li Yaozongs face like how one would step on a dead dog. He calmly spoke, Just a spar between the younger generation. As an elder, you should just watch from the side. This sentence was personally said by martial tutor Li Weifeng. Second uncle, are you deaf? Didnt you hear it?

Xia Xun s.h.i.+fted the topic and reprimanded, A spar is a spar, but you are clearly filled with malice, bullying others.

Bullying? Xia Qingchen turned his calm gaze onto him. Second uncle, I thought you are only deaf but are you blind too? Who was the one who kept provoking me from the start? Who was the one who said he wanted to punish me? Who was the one who wanted to press me down on the ground so I can learn how to bark like a dog just because he felt that his cultivation base was stronger?

Who the true bully was could clearly be seen as long as one wasnt blind.
