Chapter 11 3 Grandsons (Seeking Recommendations and Collections)

Zheng Gongxuan clenched his fists tightly, as a flame raged wildly in his heart!

The feud between him and Zheng Hu was almost known to the entire Qingchuan County, and now, with the family letting Zheng Hu become the vice Town Chief at this time and claiming the reason for him to take over Luming Town while he was injured, the purpose was clear as day.

Although it was an order from the family, in reality, it was the Great Elder and his faction causing trouble.

The reason for their meddling was that he hadn't willingly and respectfully given up the chance to enter Jade Blood Pool, which he had earned for his son through life-threatening efforts.

Seeing the proud Zheng Hu, and beside him, the Third Elder looking at him with sinister eyes, Zheng Gongxuan knew that at this moment, he had to endure.

Setting aside the Third Elder's Ninth Grade Cultivation Level, even Zheng Hu, he himself, severely injured, had no strength left to fight.

What's more, they were brandishing the family's commands; if he resisted, not just he, but his entire household could be doomed beyond recovery.

"Uncle Li!" Standing behind Zheng Gongxuan, Zheng Heng shouted loudly towards Zheng Dali, who was being dragged by a rope.

Zheng Dali, who had just walked out of Zheng Mansion in good condition, was now covered in blood, barely clinging to life.

Zheng Dali had a very good relationship with Zheng Gongxuan's family; he could be said to be Zheng Gongxuan's most trusted confidant and even his brother.

Zheng Gongxuan's eyes were filled with fury as he coldly looked at Zheng Dali, who lay on the ground like a slaughtered pig or dog; he finally couldn't suppress his rage and said, "Third Elder, Zheng Dali is the captain of our Luming Town Guard. May I ask what wrong he has committed to be punished in such a manner?"

"For recklessly colliding with the Third Elder's carriage frame, the crime is unforgivable. If not for the Third Elder's benevolence, for such disrespectful scum, I would have chopped him with a single knife!"

As Zheng Hu spoke, he stretched out his hand and directly grabbed Zheng Heng, who was rushing over, revealing a slight sneer on his face, "Kid, you've grown quite a bit. Let uncle test how good your cultivation is."

With these words, Zheng Hu's arm suddenly bulged, and the hand holding Zheng Heng emitted the sound of trembling joints.

Zheng Heng's face started to turn pale. Although his cultivation had reached the Eleventh Rank, compared to rank 10 Zheng Hu, the difference was too vast.

Not to mention, in terms of sheer strength, he was no match for Zheng Hu.

But at this moment, Zheng Heng didn't say a word. He spurred his Inner Strength, resisting the tremendous force of Zheng Hu's grip, which felt like thousands of pounds.

Zheng Gongxuan, watching his son struggle, disregarded his own injuries. His palm swung, and he used the Bear King Roar from the Bear King Fist, fiercely smashing it towards Zheng Hu.

Zheng Hu swung his other hand, also displaying the Bear King Roar. The two were nearly equal in their mastery of the Bear King Fist, but Zheng Gongxuan had, after all, been severely injured during the attack on Tiger's Roar Village.

Their fists collided, and Zheng Gongxuan was forced back three steps, droplets of blood seeping through his clothes.

"Father, you can't fight now!" In that moment, Zheng Heng violently broke free from Zheng Hu's grasp, quickly running towards Zheng Gongxuan.

"Hahaha, Zheng Gongxuan, it seems you still need to rest some more!" Zheng Hu looked at the bloodstains on Zheng Gongxuan's body and laughed boisterously.

Seeing Zheng Hu's demeanor, almost all the Zheng family members had flames in their eyes, and some had already gripped their weapons tightly.

Their gazes all turned towards Zheng Gongxuan, waiting for his command. If he gave the word, these sentinels who had followed him for many years would rush over and chop Zheng Hu to pieces.

But Zheng Gongxuan couldn't give that order.

He knew that if he did, not only would it not resolve anything, but the entire Zheng family of Luming Town would be finished.

In the Third Elder's sinister gaze, there was a cold smile. From this smile, it was not hard to see that he was very much looking forward to Zheng Gongxuan losing his reason and attacking them.

To take advantage of the situation and kill Zheng Gongxuan would then become a justified act, smoothly accomplished!

"Third Elder, please come this way!" Zheng Gongxuan waved his hand and said solemnly.

Zheng Gongxuan's voice wasn't loud, but it contained a coldness, a gritted tenacity that was chilling to the bone.

This chill gave the Third Elder a bit of a shiver, and his determination to dispose of Zheng Gongxuan only grew firmer.

"Hahaha, a bunch of cowards! I've long lost any interest in your shabby house; I wouldn't want to dirty my feet. Send out that trash from your family. Laozi is here for an appointment and doesn't have time to mess with you people," said Zheng Jinlong, standing beside the Third Elder, in a languid tone.

Zheng Gongxuan, watching Zheng Jinlong's arrogant demeanor, wished he could grind him into dust.

He had fought desperately for his son's opportunity, yet now he had to yield it to this bastard; how could he bear it!

But under the current circumstances, he had no other choice.

Zheng Jinlong was at the beginning of the Twelfth Rank, and Ming Er would be no match for him.

"Third Elder, we concede this match!" After hesitating for an instant, Zheng Gongxuan finally made up his mind.

"Hmph, you think you can cancel just because you say so? Who do you think you are, huh? I traveled all the way from Qingchuan County to this godforsaken place, and you think you can just send me away with one word?"

As Zheng Jinlong spoke, he turned to the Third Elder. "Since I'm here, let's gather the entire Zheng family of the town. I want to show everyone in front of the whole clan that trash is trash."

"Allowing trash to waste the family's resources is an insult to the clan!"

Trash, family's resources... Zheng Gongxuan's grip tightened. What family resources? He had fought tooth and nail for the opportunity at the Jade Blood Pool.

If it wasn't for the fact that he had taken ten strikes, if it wasn't for the severity of his injuries, how could he have let Zheng Hu be so arrogant?

Even with the Third Elder around, Zheng Gongxuan could still retrieve some face.

"You're nothing but a third-rate grandson!" The words, though only six characters long, rang in everyone's ears. As the words were spoken, many of the Zheng Family Members who were still furious just moments ago now had smiles on their faces.

Third-rate grandson, what an apt description!

Zheng Jinlong's face turned beet red. He had always been proud, proud of being the grandson of the Zheng Family's Great Elder.

To many, he was known as the Third Young Master, and now someone had the audacity to call him a third-rate grandson. How could Zheng Jinlong tolerate this?

Laozi am not your third-rate grandson, are you so fond of this title?

As Zheng Jinlong glared furiously at the speaker, he saw a young man in green, looking at him with a challenging smile. "This competition can be held anywhere, so that certain people don't think they can cover the sky with one hand just because they're the third-rate grandson in Qingchuan County."

Another third-rate grandson remark made Zheng Jinlong's eyes turn bloodshot.

"Pfft!" Someone couldn't help but burst out laughing, followed by the laughter of the Zheng Family Guards exploding all at once.

The knights who had come with Zheng Jinlong were also struggling to keep straight faces—they wanted to laugh too. Although they had come with Zheng Jinlong, to be honest, they didn't like this arrogant and overbearing young master.

However, they had to make a living, so they didn't dare to offend the Great Elder.

The Third Elder's face twitched. He too didn't think much of Zheng Jinlong, and he found the young man's use of 'third-rate grandson' somewhat appealing. However, he knew he had to help Zheng Jinlong out of this bind no matter what.

"Sharp-tongued brat, slap him!" the Third Elder ordered.

Just as the Third Elder gave the command, Zheng Hu was about to leap into action, but just as Zheng Hu was about to make his move, Zheng Jinlong spoke in a deep voice, "Ah Hu, there's no need for you to act. Wait a bit, and I'll personally knock his teeth out."

In the midst of speaking, he sinisterly swept a glance at Zheng Ming. "I was planning to defeat you with one move, but this time, I will make sure you're defeated by the third move!"

Zheng Ming's hand, which was reaching towards his waist pouch, ceased its movement. As soon as Zheng Hu made a move, his Flying Knife would be the first to fly out.

His eyes were fixed on the Third Elder, like a hungry wolf eyeing a piece of meat.

Thirteen thousand Prestige Points, and next to those thirteen thousand, a few hundred yellow Prestige Points.

Fu Yuqing had ten thousand yellow Prestige Points, so this Third Elder's yellow Prestige Points, numbering over three hundred, must have some unknown special uses.

And he, in this very moment, had only one yellow Prestige Point.

If he could snatch away the Third Elder's Prestige Points, he could draw more than ten random cards at the very least. Perhaps there was even a chance to pull out a treasure card similar to the ones Li Ruohai had!

"Zheng Gongxuan, call all the family members to start the competition now!" the Third Elder said with no room for argument.

Although he thought Zheng Ming's double usage of 'third-rate grandson' was rather apt, he wouldn't let even the slightest grudge form in the Great Elder's heart.

"Father, let me try!" Just as Zheng Gongxuan was about to forcibly refuse again, Zheng Ming's voice rang in his ear.

Seeing Zheng Ming's determined expression, Zheng Gongxuan felt a twinge of hesitation.

After a moment of contemplation, he finally nodded and said, "If it doesn't work out, concede. If we lose this opportunity, there will be a next time!"

Zheng Gongxuan's words sounded so easygoing, as if this was just another opportunity rather than one he had traded his life for!

Zheng Ming nodded. His gaze fell on Zheng Jinlong; while the latter's Prestige Points might not match the Third Elder's, they were not insignificant, with eight thousand two hundred red points and forty-five yellow ones.

For Zheng Ming, that too was a piece of meat, and besides, he really wanted to teach the third-rate grandson a lesson.

He wanted to severely slap the faces of those shameless people standing behind the third-rate grandson!

He wanted to show them that the Zheng family branch of Luming Town wasn't to be trifled with! As for gathering all the clan members for a public martial competition, Zheng Ming couldn't be more welcoming of the idea. What are Prestige Points? Prestige Points are reputation, are fear. What better way to increase one's Prestige than to defeat an opponent publicly?

"Be cautious!" Zheng Gongxuan patted Zheng Ming's shoulder and then instructed Zheng Heng, "Order our Divine Crossbow Team to come over!" PS: A new week is here, asking for your recommendations and favorites!
