Chapter 8: Aspiring to Become a Champion Among Thousands (Part 1)

At this moment, Dong Min walked in from outside the hall. He first cast a complex glance at Dong Fei, his eyes revealing a hint of fear

"Grandmother, how did you come here?" Dong Lei ran to the old lady's side and supported her.

The old lady is so fond of it that she is unwilling to part with this dragon-headed cane for even a moment

"Wretched child, wretched child... I will kill you!"

Many people are seated in this hall, and the slaughter in the training ground has even stirred the usually reclusive Dong family

Father-in-law, please calm down

Eighteen individuals, eighteen strong men, unexpectedly...

The woman of Qiang ethnicity stared blankly at Dong Fei, feeling a strange sensation within her: Why is he not my son? Why is he the son of that wretched maid? If I had a son like him, I would be willing to die.

Dong Min, also known as Uncle Ying, is a brother of Dong Zhuo. Within the Dong family, his abilities are not particularly strong. However, Dong Zhuo places great importance on family and takes good care of his siblings. Although Dong Min's capabilities are limited, his martial prowess is relatively outstanding. Therefore, his status within the Dong family is not too low.

Uncle Ying

With his head lowered, no one knew what he was thinking, not even when Niu Fu pushed him several times, as if he were oblivious to it all

You are shameless, while my wife still has her dignity. A forty-two-year-old person, knocked off a horse by a child; if I were to *illustrate* this, I would have long since dashed my head against a wall to spare myself the embarrassment here. Dong Ya's sons are truly capable, each one more successful than the last.

Child, the child is now forty-one years old

This, does not exist!

Dong Zhuo's dark face turned purple with anger

The old lady held Dong Fei's hand and said: "Grandma's heart has been racing since noon... Ah Chou, has someone been bullying you? Tell Grandma! I, this blind old woman, want to see who has the audacity to bully my Ah Chou!"

The old lady swung her dragon-headed cane and brought it down with a thud, striking Dong Min forcefully on the back

Dong Zhuo reached for his sword and strode forward, saying, "I will kill you, wretch, and consider it as if you never existed, you beast."

Dong Fei raised his head and said, "I will not kneel, I am not in the wrong"

"Kneel down, you wretch!"

Dong Min hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Yes"

Ah Chou, are you hurt?

In this hall, apart from his family, there are only his trusted aides. But at this moment, who would dare to speak up

Having spoken, she left the hall with her maid, not looking back

Uncle Ying, how old are you this year

From the moment the old lady appeared, Dong Lei knew he was safe

Dong Zhuo found himself in a dilemma, uncertain about what course of action to take

Dong Shi suddenly stood up and walked slowly to Dong Fei's front. She looked at Dong Fei, and Dong Fei looked back at her. After a moment, Dong Shi smiled. She reached out to stroke Dong Fei's cheek and softly said: "Ah Chou, how wonderful it would be if you were my son"

The old lady, leaning on a dragon-headed cane, appeared at the entrance of the hall with the assistance of several maidservants. The seven-foot-long dragon-headed cane was specially designed for the old lady by Dong Fei when he was five years old, and he spent a considerable sum to have it crafted by a carpenter from Lintao.

At this moment, Li Ru came to his senses and, flanking Dong Zhuo on the left and right, blocked his path.

I do not kill them, yet I will be killed by them? I know you do not like me, but I will never allow anyone to butcher me.

He did not kneel, even though Dong Zhuo ordered him to do so. However, Dong Fei was completely unfazed by the terrifying aura emanating from his father. With his neck held high, he glared at Dong Zhuo and shouted loudly: "I did nothing wrong. On what grounds do you demand that I kneel and admit my fault? I will not kneel!"

Dong Fei's attitude infuriated Dong Zhuo. In front of so many people, being contradicted by his own son, what face would he have left

In the eyes of others, this dragon-headed cane, weighing over 10 pounds, is not much different from a deadly weapon

Dong Min struck a cold cicada, quickly kneeling a few steps and prostrating himself before the old lady. He was accompanied by books.

Understood, Grandma

No, A Chou is quite well and has not been injured

If A Chou is the son of the Dong family, no matter how ugly he is, he will still be cherished to the utmost extent

Dong Fei stood resolutely in the hall of the Dong residence, facing Dong Zhuo's gaze, showing not the slightest hint of fear

However, his gaze was fixed on Li Ru, who had been keeping his head down, his eyes darting around. Li Ru, this person seems quite famous, at least he has appeared in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms." I had known he was my sister's husband, but I had never actually met him. However, he doesn't look as described in the novels, with a sharp face and monkey-like features; he appears to be quite a refined person

Li Ru could feel Dong Fei's gaze, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead

Are you not mistaken? At such a young age, you have taken lives, and in your first act, you killed eighteen people? Dong Huang is your brother; even if he has countless faults, you should not engage in such rampant slaughter. Your uncle tried to stop you and nearly lost his life at your hands... You wretched child, with so many events transpiring, can you truly claim none of this is related to you? Kneel down before me now

I hope I haven't caught the attention of this little demon king; he must be blaming me for not helping him in the training ground... This is quite unfortunate

The people in the hall gasped in surprise

The old lady sneered, "Were you almost killed by A Chou?"

Indeed, this is his flesh and blood. Regardless of the myriad of grievances, he is still his own flesh and blood. I remember when this child was just born, he nearly had him drowned. Over these seven years, how much care has he, as a father, truly given him?

The old lady smiled, but everyone in the hall, except for Dong Fei, sensed the anger behind her smile.

Mother, the child is here

He heard Dong Zhuo's question and replied in a deep voice: "A total of eighteen people have died, Dong Huang's leg is broken, and he is still being rescued"

"Bastard, I have killed you!"

Oh?

The old lady snorted coldly, "Aren't they just eighteen useless good-for-nothings? If they are killed, so be it. Eighteen people joining forces can't even defeat a child; even if they survive, they are just wasting food. A Chou, well done, well done!"

Dong Zhuo was so embarrassed by the old lady's words that his face turned red, and he exclaimed: "But this wicked child nearly killed Uncle Ying."

After Li Ru entered the hall, he remained silent.

Hahaha, it's surprising that you still know your age. A person in their forties almost got killed by a child, and you still have the face to be here? I ask you, did A Chou ambush you?

Upon seeing the old lady appear, Dong Zhuo immediately felt a sense of relief. However, upon noticing the cane in her hand, he inwardly lamented. With the old lady's presence, he could no longer punish Dong Fei, and it was possible that he himself would end up being reprimanded by her.

Dong Zhuo said with a bitter smile: "Mother, no one wants to bully A Chou, it is A Chou who... killed someone"

Dong Min could not help but secretly complain: "Brother, please don't say any more. Can't you see? Mother is determined to protect this little demon king. The more people you drag into this, the worse our situation will become. Brother, it would be better if you just kept quiet."

Dong Zhuo could not discern the emotions on his face, squinting his eyes as he gazed at Dong Fei

Uncle Ying, has everything been taken care of?

At first, they thought that the situation at the training ground was a case of Dong Fei bullying others with his power. However, upon further inquiry, they discovered that it was actually nineteen adults attacking a child who was not even seven years old. Eighteen people! Could this guy really be a monster?

However, this child is truly lacking in respect. Even if they could just lower their head and admit a mistake, it would allow me to save face

"That is also a useless person!" The old lady said coldly, "Having learned a few flashy moves, he thinks he can show off in Lintao. Don't think that just because this old woman is blind, I don't know about the misdeeds he has committed. A'Chou, well done... Dying at the hands of one's own people is far better than being humiliated by others. A'Chou, if he doesn't improve next time, just kill him."

Dong Zhuo was stunned and frozen. The words of the Dong family seemed like a thunderclap exploding in his ears

However, he also injured Dong Huang

Dong Zhuo knelt down, and Dong Min and others quickly followed suit and knelt down
