RPAGF Chapter 411 What does it have to do with you, Pei Yuanqing, if I insult the Pei family?
Chapter 411 What does it have to do with you, Pei Yuanqing, if I insult the Pei family?
"Second brother!"
Lu Xiao opened his eyes, his face hardening, and his voice becoming more stern.
His gaze swept diagonally across the rattan chair, and although he was lying down, he exuded an imposing aura without being angry.
"Father, my elder brother... he..."
Lu Yan reacted quickly, his eyes darting around before he immediately adopted a pitiful expression, his voice carrying a hint of accusation.
"He just watched me sleep and ignored me; he has absolutely no sense of responsibility as an older brother!"
Since he couldn't avoid this beating, he was determined to drag his older brother down with him.
If you have to get beaten up together, that's called brotherhood; that's sharing both good times and bad.
Although he had just been thinking of letting his older brother get beaten first, that didn't matter; what mattered was the result.
"Hehehe."
Lu Xiao shook his head, laughing in exasperation at the kid's train of thought.
The Yuwen family possesses a spirit pearl and a demon pill.
The Spirit Pearl is Yuwen Chengdu, and the Demon Orb is Yuwen Chenglong.
Then the Lü family seems to be no less formidable.
Lu Zhen is the eldest son; he's calm, sensible, and just like him.
Lü Yan was the second son, clever and mischievous, like a ruyi (a traditional Chinese ornament symbolizing good fortune).
This also marks the beginning of Little Demon's growth.
"Hehehe."
Seeing his father smile, Lü Yan quickly followed suit with a silly grin, trying to fool his father.
A smile will make it all go away; this trick always worked on my grandfather, and it also worked on my mother.
With my father...
It should work, right?
"Just put your hand out yourself."
Lü Xiao is not the type of parent who spoils their children.
If this little devil isn't dealt with properly, it'll cause chaos in the future.
A father's duty is to feel pain when it's necessary and to discipline when it's necessary.
"Brother...Big Brother!"
Lu Yan panicked immediately and turned around to ask for help, his voice trembling.
His mother and older brother beat him, but at least they held back some of their strength; they just gave him a token beating and that was it.
But when his father beat him, it showed absolutely no fatherly affection.
"Good luck to you."
Lu Zhen looked away, showing no intention of pleading for mercy.
"Your Highness, a letter from Hebei."
Just as tensions were about to rise, the guards from the mansion rushed in.
Upon seeing this, Lü Yan's lips immediately parted into a wide grin, a smile many times more genuine than his earlier silly grin.
He's from Hebei, so he must be related to the powerful and influential "King of the Mountain".
Father is busy with important matters and has no time to take care of me, so I can avoid a beating now.
Heaven didn't forsake Lü Yan!
Lu Xiao took the letter and unfolded it to read it carefully.
The handwriting on the letter was neat and tidy, each stroke written correctly, but the more he looked at it, the more something seemed off.
Although the letter was sent in Yang Lin's name, the handwriting on it was definitely not written by Yang Lin.
He had seen Yang Lin's handwriting countless times; it was strong and powerful, as if carved by a knife and axe, with each stroke carrying the sharpness of a veteran general.
"Tsk."
After reading the letter, Lü Xiao slowly stood up, his languid expression vanishing completely.
I thought that Qin Qiong would improve after becoming the Zhaowu Heavenly King, at least gaining some vision and composure.
But now it seems he's still the same old guy.
In order to win the war, even people from foreign lands were brought to the Central Plains.
The crime of bringing foreigners into the Central Plains is enough to nail this person to the pillar of shame forever, and make him cursed for generations to come.
"Someone, go and invite Pei Yuanqing, Yuwen Chenglong, Luo Cheng, and the others here."
Regardless of who wrote the letter, Lü Xiao will have to go through with it this time.
Qin Yong, one of Qin Qiong's subordinates, was a master hammer user, while Luo Shixin possessed immense strength and was capable of directly confronting Li Yuanba.
With these two around, it would be no easy task for Yang Lin to defeat them.
Now another Tuoba Lang Sima has emerged, who can even fight Jiang Song; he's no simple character either.
It seems impossible for him to continue his leisurely stay-at-home life.
"Then, Father, I'm leaving too."
Seeing that the adults were about to discuss matters, Lü Yan, with great shrewdness, said something and quietly took two steps toward the door.
"You can't leave."
Lu Xiao reached out with lightning speed and grabbed Lu Yan by the back of his neck.
The little guy lifted his feet off the ground and kicked a few times in the air, like a cat being choked.
Then Lü Xiao took out the teacher's ruler and struck him without saying a word.
One, two, neither too light nor too heavy, but very real.
Lu Yan is usually glib and unserious, but he has one redeeming quality.
Once he was hit, he would force himself to endure the pain without uttering a sound.
Her face was tense, she bit her lip, and tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.
Only after the injection is over, when the pain becomes unbearable, will she start to cry.
This might be what they mean by admitting your mistakes and standing at attention when you're being punished.
"Alright, that'll be enough for today."
Looking at Lü Yan's red little hands, Lü Xiao put away the ruler and softened his tone.
"I'm going to tell my grandfather!"
Lu Yan pulled his hand back, cupped it in his palm, blew on it gently, and said angrily.
"Even if you tell the King of Heaven, it won't work."
Lu Xiao laughed and cursed, then waved his hand at him, signaling Lu Zhen to take the little demon pill away.
As Lü Yan walked, he kept muttering something to himself, but Lü Zhen didn't listen and didn't bother to listen.
Before long, Pei Yuanqing, Yuwen Chenglong, Luo Cheng and others arrived one after another.
Luo Cheng was filled with excitement, his steps light as if he were walking on clouds.
Lu Xiao usually summons him when there's a battle to be fought.
Now, Lü Xiao has pacified most of the regions, having fought across the east, west, south, and north.
If there were any other rebels, it would be Qin Qiong, who usurped the throne.
The thought of avenging his father filled him with uncontrollable excitement.
I wish I could fly to Hebei right now and shoot that scoundrel dead.
"Yuwen Chenglong, why the hell do you keep insulting the Pei family every day?"
As they walked this way, Pei Yuanqing kept complaining.
"Who insulted the Pei family?"
Yuwen Chenglong walked along casually, looking completely innocent.
He's a scapegoat; he's taken the blame for a lot of things for Lü Xiao over the years, but he doesn't take the blame for everything.
Why should we acknowledge something we haven't done?
"You! You've been insulting my Pei family's ancestral home!"
"What does it matter to you if I insult your family? Just because you both have the surname Pei?"
Yuwen Chenglong paused, turned around, and asked in return with a serious expression.
"..."
Pei Yuanqing scratched his head.
That seems to make sense.
What is his relationship with those people in his family?
Those people looked down on his father, looked down on him, and looked down on their family members; he had wanted to curse them for a long time.
Yuwen Chenglong scolded him for him; he should be happy.
Although he didn't know the reasoning behind it, he was certain that Yuwen Chenglong hadn't scolded him.
"Your Highness, what have we been asked to do?"
Yuwen Chenglong ignored Pei Yuanqing and approached Lü Xiao, rubbing his hands together with anticipation on his face.
These days he's been causing trouble for the Pei family, and he's almost there.
Furthermore, he has almost figured out the ancestral graves of the Pei family members.
