Chapter 10, Reversal

Saying this, he stood up directly and walked out, calling to two disciples, leaving in a leisurely manner

Sang Ji, however, had a great interest in Hao Qiang. After asking a few questions, he confirmed his suspicions: Chu Yunhao had insulted Chu Yanqi, which he could not tolerate. He then took action, facing five opponents alone, leading to this outcome.

"Grandfather, Yunhao is seriously injured, please go take a look..." Chu Yunjie said anxiously, touching his scorched face. He and Chu Yunhao are cousins who have played together since childhood. Seeing him so badly hurt today, how could he not be worried?

However, ... ... Grandfather ... ... Chu Yunjie has always been proud and arrogant, how could he swallow such humiliation? Now, his grandfather even wants him to serve that good-for-nothing as a servant, as a dog

"I know... I know..." Chu Zhengming nodded repeatedly.

"I will go see him, who will come to see me?" Chu Zhengming thought of the magic fire contract that Sang Ji had placed upon him, all stemming from Chu Yunhao's mockery of Chu Yanqi. He immediately became furious and said, "If he is not dead, he can consider himself lucky. You are to instruct that no doctor is to be called for his treatment; let his life or death be left to chance"

"You fool!" Chu Zhengming scolded fiercely, "Can't you see? You have been humiliating Chu Yanqi. The Sang family is very angry. If all the past matters are brought to light, you might not be able to bear the consequences. It would be better to shift all the blame onto Chu Yunhao now; at least you can distance yourself from it. In the future, even if it comes up, it will be said that he was the one leading, and you were merely following."

How is Young Master Yanqi's injury?" Sangji sat down on a chair in the hall downstairs and then deliberately asked.

Upon seeing him, Chu Zhengming was instantly filled with rage and raised his hand to deliver a slap, leaving Chu Yunjie utterly bewildered, as if he were a monk of two zhang unable to comprehend the situation

"When I take Young Master Yanqi away, I will naturally dissolve the magic fire contract and bestow upon you the elixir," Sang Ji said again

Hmph! Sang Ji let out a cold snort and said, "Negligence? This kind of negligence can cost lives, do you understand?"

Therefore, there was a sense of compassion for his talent, and after asking a few more questions, it was learned that he had grown up alongside Chu Yanqi since childhood, and the two shared a very close relationship, with Chu Yanqi not treating him as a slave.

I do not care about the past of Young Master Yanqi, but since you are aware that he is about to become the young master of our family, you should not allow him to reside in a place meant for servants and subordinates. " Sangji said with a cold smile, "Moreover, you actually condone the family disciples in humiliating and tormenting Young Master Yanqi. Do you still regard our Cangwu City with any respect?"

Sang Ji opened his eyes, raised his hand, and a spark of fire entered Chu Zhengming's forehead, quickly disappearing. However, Chu Zhengming trembled in pain all over and involuntarily let out a loud cry, collapsing straight to the ground.

"You need not be afraid; I will personally go to Kunlan Mountain to search for a medicinal herb. During these days, I will trouble you to attend to Young Master Yanqi. When I return, you know the consequences." Sangji slowly said as he lifted the teacup.

Zhang Zhengming was at a loss for words, wondering how he should explain this. He initially thought that the husband of a lovesick young lady was merely a cultivation failure, and that the Sang family did not care at all; they were just reluctant to part with that lovesick young lady and had no choice but to go along with it.

"Get up, don't play dead." Sang Ji sneered slightly before slowly saying, "I have planted the Demon Fire Contract on you..."

Regardless of the circumstances, Chu Zhengming is very clear about one thing: if Chu Yanqi encounters any trouble in the Chu family, he should not expect any elixirs.

Sang Ji had observed the four young disciples, all of whom were at the fifth or sixth level of the Spirit Cultivation stage. Chu Yunhao, however, was on par with them, having also reached the Great Perfection of the Spirit Cultivation stage, and was merely waiting to break through into the Yuan Spirit stage. As a result, the five of them joined forces, yet they were still defeated by Hao Qiang alone, suffering injuries and severe damage.

"Master Sang just mentioned that he is going into the mountains to search for a medicinal herb, so he naturally has no time to take care of Chu Yanqi. Therefore, in the coming days, you still have the opportunity to improve your relationship with him." Chu Zhengming pondered for a moment and said, "In any case, you must endure and maintain a good relationship with him. Even if you have to act like a dog, you must do your job as a dog well."

Chu Zhengming remained frozen on the spot, and it was unclear how much time had passed when Chu Yunjie quietly walked in. Upon seeing his great-grandfather dazed and kneeling on the ground, he hurried over to help Chu Zhengming up, saying, "Great-grandfather, what has happened to you?"

But what is it?" Chu Zhengming glared at him fiercely, as if he were a grandson, and scolded, "For this, for the Chu family, for your own future, think about it yourself. Do you think you are the only one who has suffered? Later, your great-grandfather will go up and bow to that useless person to apologize. As the head of the Chu family, at my age, I have accepted this humiliation. What else can you not endure?"

Sang Ji reached out and touched Hao Qiang, discovering that this person had muscles as hard as iron, with smooth meridians and pure spiritual energy. He couldn't help but nod inwardly, thinking: "This kid is indeed a genius in cultivation."

Sang Ji listened, but had other plans in mind. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Chu Zhengming coming down from upstairs. He immediately instructed Hao Qiang to go upstairs to take care of Chu Yanqi, and sent Chu Yunjie along with his two disciples out. He kept Chu Zhengming behind to have a conversation.

It now appears that the Sang family places great importance on this good-for-nothing, or rather, that the infatuated young lady holds an unusual status within the Sang family

Oh? Sang Ji heard this and said coldly, "Chu Zhengming, can you explain to me what happened today at this moment?"

"Great-grandfather ... ... " Chu Yunjie stared in astonishment at Chu Zhengming

"Come closer." Sangji leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes, and said indifferently

"Yes, the immortal master is benevolent. I, Chu, am willing to pledge my loyalty to the immortal master, with no ulterior motives." Chu Zhengming hurriedly expressed his loyalty

"Forget it, your loyalty or lack thereof is not important to me," Sang Ji said淡淡地. "If you want the elixir, the rest is up to you to handle."

There is nothing serious, just some minor injuries, and a bit of fright. At this moment, feeling sleepy, Chu has already fallen asleep under the attentive care of hetushucomcom. Chu Zhengming hurriedly replied respectfully.

"Beasts, I have repeatedly warned you not to provoke Chu Yanqi, not to provoke him. Why do you not listen?" Chu Zhengming said angrily

Grandfather ... ... I ... ... "Chu Yunjie is also aggrieved, he is just a good-for-nothing, what else can he do after being humiliated? What is even more unjust is that he was not present today, so this slap was received for nothing

Chu Zhengming was drenched in cold sweat, unable to stand any longer. His legs weakened, and he knelt down again, hurriedly saying: "It was my oversight, I did not pay attention to the children's mischief. I ask for your forgiveness, esteemed master."

Chu Zhengming had long been frightened to the point that his bones felt weak, and he did not dare to rise. He immediately crawled to his feet in front of him

Chu Yunjie was momentarily taken aback, but soon understood, and hurriedly nodded, saying: "What great-grandfather said is true"

Chu Zhengming felt as if his entire body had plunged into an ice cave, unable to suppress a shiver. He naturally understood what the Demon Fire Contract was; it was a type of slave contract formed using spiritual energy. As long as the other party had a single thought, he would suffer a fate worse than death. Unless his cultivation could surpass that of the other party, he would be unable to dissolve the Demon Fire Contract; otherwise, he would be subject to their control for the rest of his life.
