48: C48 Father Was Humiliated

C48 Father Was Humiliated

The Heavenly Cloud City market was as lively as usual. There was a continuous stream of people coming and going. In a weapon shop in the Xiao family, Xiao Yuanshan was leaning against the lounge. Since it was already noon, he laid down on the lounge chair to rest and recover his energy.

Due to his son's absence and the incident in the Ye family a few months ago, Xiao Yuanshan had been worrying about his son. Recently, he had been unable to eat or sleep, and had been worrying about his son all the time.

Ever since his wife passed away, he and his son had been relying on each other. His son was the biggest concern in his life. It was all he had, and it was also the strength that kept him alive.

Although his son did not like to practice martial arts and was obsessed with the mountains and rivers, the legends of the predecessors, and the introduction of danger zones, Xiao Yuanshan had a trace of disappointment, but he had never given up.

Sure enough, his son seemed to have become a completely different person ever since he woke up after being severely injured by the second young master of Ye family. Xiao Yuanshan started to pay attention to his martial arts. He could often see his son practicing his martial arts at home, or go to the back mountain of the Xiao family by himself. Xiao Yuanshan had secretly followed him and seen him practicing his martial arts.

Xiao Yuanshan was relieved when he found out that his son was only cultivating in the outer region of the Devil Beast Mountain Range and did not go any further. He felt gratified and secretly drove away all the Xiao Jians within five miles of the place where Xiao Jian usually cultivated, so that Xiao Jian wouldn't have to worry about anything and could cultivate with peace of mind.

Since his son didn't want him to know, Xiao Yuanshan didn't point it out.

Every time he thought of his son's painstaking cultivation, Xiao Yuanshan felt gratified. But now, his son was outside. As the Clan Competition drew near at the end of the year, the deadline he had agreed upon with his son. . . It was getting closer and closer, but his son still had no news of him until now. Xiao Yuanshan couldn't help but feel anxious, but he had nowhere to find him. So even though he was lying on the deck chair, his heart could not calm down. He couldn't fall asleep.

Just as his thoughts were flying all over the place, a noise suddenly came from the front hall. Xiao Yuanshan immediately got up, put on his coat, and walked out of the lounge. He arrived at the front hall in an instant.

He saw two fat young men in luxurious clothes standing in the lobby. Behind them were a dozen or so men in black with solemn expressions. They stretched out their hands, and with one look, it was obvious that they were the guards of the second person.

When rich families and aristocratic families went out, they liked to bring their guards or followers of their own factions. Firstly, they wanted to put on a facade. Secondly, they wanted to be safe. Thirdly, when they couldn't bully them. . . These playboys were mostly ignorant and incompetent. With a low cultivation in martial arts, even if it was an ordinary martial artist. . . Most of them would not be able to take it lying down.

Therefore, they wanted to bully others. They could only bring the slightly stronger guards of the family. These guards were mostly lone warriors hired by the family with money. Some of them were Demon Hunters who were tired of their Demon Hunter career, and some of them were descendants of the branch families. Or they were trained by the orphans they had adopted since they were young. Comparatively speaking, these people would be even more loyal.

When Xiao Yuanshan came out of the lounge, he raised his eyes and saw the two of them. He could not help but frown slightly.

These two young men were famous playboys in Heavenly Cloud City. They were ignorant all day long and flirted with other girls. Usually, they would forcefully snatch young and beautiful girls. This was something that they had done quite a number of times. They had no qualms about it. Even if they did it, at most, they could settle it with an extra amount of silver. To them, this was not a big deal.

Therefore, the more they did it, the bolder they became. When they saw a beautiful young woman, they would have dirty thoughts about occupying her. When the young women saw them, they would be like sheep who saw tigers, wolves, and wild beasts, avoiding them in a hurry and taking a detour.

"Kid, it's best to call out your manager. How about I teach you a lesson today!" One of the slightly shorter young men angrily flung down his sleeves and pointed at the waiter in front of the hall. The fat on his face trembled intensely due to the swinging of his arm. A vicious glint appeared in his eyes. He was clearly extremely dissatisfied.

Both of them were wealthy families in Heavenly Cloud City. One of them was called Ma Yuan, and the other was called Tian Qing.

The Ma family had a lot of property. It was the largest restaurant in the market, the Immortal Assembling Pavilion. It was the property of the Ma family. Their annual income was at least a few hundred thousand taels. Therefore, Ma Yuan was ignorant and incompetent all day long. He was lazy and gluttonous, just like a fat ball. But he was the only one in the Ma family, so his father let him be. As long as he didn't cause any trouble, or if he couldn't afford to offend any power. . . Even though Ma Yuan was ignorant and incompetent all day long, He knew who he was messing with. Who he couldn't mess with.

Tian Qing was the second young master of a rich family that sold grains in Heavenly Cloud City. Since the two of them were both from rich families and had the same appearance and wealth, they spent all their days together. Tian Qing followed Ma Yuan's lead.

"Two young masters, this sword was broken by you two. Don't make things difficult for me!" The waiter was only about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was so frightened by the two of them that he almost cried.

At this time, Xiao Yuanshan had already walked into the lobby. Ma Yuan and Tian Qing turned around and looked at Xiao Yuanshan.

"You are the manager of this weapon shop?"

"Young masters, I don't know what happened. I am the manager of Xiao family's weapon store, Xiao Yuanshan. " Xiao Yuanshan said in a loud voice.

"Humph! I just bought a sword from your Xiao family's weapon store two days ago. It cost me more than a hundred taels of silver. But when I was sparring with a few friends. . . I was hit like a sawtooth by the opponent in just a few moves, causing me to lose face. Is this the weapon sold by your Xiao family's weapon store? Tell me! How are you going to compensate me for my losses?! "

As he spoke, he slammed the gorgeous longsword in his hand onto the table.

"Bang!" The sound shook the table, causing the water in the cup to splash onto the table.

Xiao Yuanshan walked over, "Clang!" He pulled out the long sword in his hand. The front end of the sword was full of bumps and hollows.

"Swords used for ornamental purposes are usually unsealed. The material is much worse, but the appearance is very gorgeous. Silver light flows. Looks like it was attracted by the gorgeous appearance that I bought this sword!

Yesterday, I was out on business. When I came back, the waiter reported to me that he had sold a sword. I didn't ask about it in detail. Could it be that he bought it? "

Xiao Yuanshan thought to himself.

Xiao Yuanshan couldn't help looking at the waiter. At this time, another waiter walked up and stammered, "Manager Xiao. This sword was chosen by this young master yesterday. We said that this sword is for ornamental purposes and can't be used for duels. However, they didn't listen to us and left after paying. "2

"Kid, your weapon is so useless. Do you blame me? It seems like I won't give you guys a chance to see how powerful it is. You all still think that this young master is easy to bully! " Tian Qing spoke first from the side.

"Li Er, go! Slapping him ten times to make him remember what happened before he spoke. He should have thought it through. What should be said and what should not be said! "

"Yes! Young Master!" After saying that, the burly black-clothed man walked towards the waiter.

"Young Master Tian, please slow down! The waiter is insensible. How about this, the money you paid for the sword yesterday. . . We will return it to you. You can choose another sword! The sword here is purely for ornamental purposes. This row is filled with ordinary weapons, which can kill some ordinary beasts. They could also hurt people. This row was a sharp weapon that could cut through iron like mud. Young Master Ma, take a look. Which one do you want? "

Ma Yuan proudly raised his head and walked towards the row of sharp weapons. After walking around in a circle, he took a fancy to a six foot long silver sword. The sword's body was carved with mountains, rivers, and plants. It was very gorgeous.

Ma Yuan weighed the sword in his hand. "Clang!" He pulled out the sword. A silver light flashed and disappeared. The sword's body flickered with silver light. It was clearly a good sword.

Tian Qing also added, "Brother Ma, once you hold this sword, you will become even more handsome and heroic. I think this sword is tailor-made for you!"

Ma Yuan looked at the sword in his hand and liked it very much. When he heard Tian Qing's congratulations, he enjoyed it very much and laughed happily. However, his eyes were originally small and coupled with his fat face, with this smile, there was only a thin line left in his eyes.

"Young Master Ma, this Silver Light Sword is a rare treasure in our shop! It's priced at 3,600 silver taels, so I'll give it to you cheaper. 3,200 silver taels! Hehe, what do you think? " Xiao Yuanshan said with a smile.

"Three thousand two hundred taels! The losses I have suffered, are they worthless? Ah Er, go. Give him three thousand taels. Let's go!" As he spoke, he held the longsword in his hand and prepared to turn around and leave.

A thin man took out three silver notes worth one thousand taels and slammed them on the table.

"It's already considered not bad that our young master is willing to give you 3000 silver. If it wasn't for the fact that you are a weapon store opened by the Xiao family, you wouldn't even be able to get a single one!" After saying that, he walked away in a carefree manner.

"Young Master Ma, three thousand taels is really not enough. Three thousand two hundred taels is already the lowest price I can give you!" Xiao Yuanshan said helplessly.

"I know these two masters will be very troublesome, but I didn't expect them to be so difficult to deal with!"

"No, three thousand taels today. Don't even think about it! I'm not short of two hundred taels. Perhaps these two hundred taels will take a long time for you to earn. But for me, I just need to stretch out my hand. . . My monthly allowance is over ten thousand taels, but you have caused me to lose all my face in front of my friends. Why? Are you not convinced? If you are not convinced, you can sue me in the Xiao family and see if the Xiao family will blame me. Let me tell you, you have offended this young master. Consider yourself unlucky. You are merely a servant of the Xiao family! Take these two hundred taels as the money for me to drink and relieve my worries! "

After saying that, he arrogantly left with his men, leaving Xiao Yuanshan standing alone in the same spot. His facial expression changed constantly. There was anger, loneliness, and helplessness.

"Manager, what should we do about this? What should we say when we ask about it?" The waiter also said with a frown.

Xiao Yuanshan waved his hand and said, "Withdraw. I will handle this matter. "

As he spoke, he walked towards the lounge with a desolate expression. He seemed to have aged by about ten years in an instant.
