Friends who often go on blind dates know that it's incredibly annoying when you encounter a psycho who won't leave you alone, regardless of your gender.
Many friends don't know how to handle this situation and are at a loss for what to do.
That "two-ha" (a playful term for a person) will secretly tell you, based on their experience: of course, you unleash the crazy person to tear the psycho apart!
Just like now, this crazy person, standing with his foot on a coffin, head touching the sky, and hands holding the sun, moon, and stars, is making a grand entrance to tear the psycho who's trying to take his sister away into pieces.
"What do you mean by that?"
Huo Huaisheng immediately became enraged upon hearing this.
"You're scattering paper money, sending a coffin, and even asking me to lie down inside. Which god have I offended?"
Liang Hao replied coldly, "You haven't offended me. You've offended my little sister. So, you're going to lie down in that coffin today. Otherwise, I can't go back and report."
Huo Huaisheng was a bit confused. "Damn it, who the hell is your little sister? Do I even know her?"
Liang Hao said, "Looks like you're determined to tough it out? I admire your rebellious attitude right now.
I hope you can keep it up and try to break the record for the Nine Realms' biggest coward, who usually kneels down in under three minutes."
Huo Kang, who was standing to the side, could no longer bear it. He immediately yelled at the servants, "Who do you all eat from? Someone's come to beat us up, and you don't even know how to protect your master! Take this madman down!"
"Kill him!"
With their master's order, the servants immediately roared and pounced on Liang Hao.
Liang Hao just sneered, "You think you're tough just because there's a lot of you? Haven't you heard the saying, 'a mantis trying to stop a chariot'? You're overestimating yourselves!"
After he finished speaking, he immediately unleashed a "Heavenly Frost Fist".
In the next moment, the small fry who were charging forward were instantly covered in frost, frozen in place like ice sculptures.
"Shiii…"
"Damn, is he that strong?"
Huo Kang and his son's faces turned ashen. They never expected this guy to be so formidable.
"See? This is the ultimate display of class, the posture a strong person should have.
While you're still patting yourselves on the back for just breaking through a few small realms,
Little do you know that in a place you can't see, a glimmer of the morning sun is rising from the end of the sea!"
"Father, what should we do now?"
Huo Huaisheng's legs wouldn't stop trembling as he shakily asked Huo Kang.
Slap!
In response, Huo Kang gave him a resounding slap.
"You son of a bitch, what the hell did you do to offend this immortal?"
"How the hell would I know? I've never even seen this person before."
Huo Huaisheng covered his face and protested with a wronged expression.
Slap!
As soon as the words left his mouth, another slap landed.
"You must have been running wild outside, causing this disaster for the Huo family! If I'd known, I should have just smashed you against a wall back then!"
Huo Huaisheng didn't say a word, afraid that if he spoke another word, he'd be slapped again.
Liang Hao was also getting impatient, and immediately interrupted their father-son exchange: "Hey, are you two done talking? If you're done, hurry up and get in the coffin so I can go back and prepare the feast."
Huo Kang heard this and immediately put on a flattering face, smiling apologetically: "Great Immortal, please calm down. Please give me a reason, Great Immortal. Where exactly did this unfilial son of mine offend you?"
"Old man, are you deaf, or do you have amnesia? I already made it clear what your son did wrong, do I need to repeat myself?"
Huo Kang heard this and turned around, kicking Huo Huaisheng to the ground: "You unfilial son, which good woman did you get involved with? You've brought such a disaster upon the Huo family!"
Huo Huaisheng was about to go crazy with grievance: "Father, I really didn't get involved with any good women. You know I rarely even go to places of entertainment, how could I do something so damaging to the family's reputation?"
Liang Hao's eyes narrowed immediately. "You didn't? You're really talking nonsense with your eyes wide open.
This morning, you swaggered into the Pin Yue Ju with a bunch of lackeys, boasting that you were my little sister's fiancé, weren't you arrogant then?
Why are you such a coward now? Don't be a coward, get up, straighten your back, and put on a good show of an ant trying to fight against the heavens.
Then, in your unwilling resentment, you'll turn into a withered skeleton."
Huo Huaisheng finally realized, "You're... Su Yunying's brother? But that's not right. I haven't seen you among Su Family's three direct sons."
Huo Kang muttered, "Could he be Su Lingzhang's illegitimate son?"
Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Kang was sent flying with a punch, landing on the ground.
"You're the bastard! Your whole family is!"
"Looks like after today, the Huo Family will be completely erased from the Southern Region."
"Ouch! No, no, we can't! Don't do this!"
Hearing that the Huo Family was about to be finished, Huo Kang sprang up like a coiled spring, scrambling and crawling to the coffin board, wailing loudly.
"Immortal, please calm your anger! As they say, misfortune shouldn't befall one's family. This is all my rebellious son's fault, it has nothing to do with the entire Huo Family."
Huo Huaisheng was shocked upon hearing this: "Father, what do you mean? You're just going to sell me out like this?"
Huo Kang immediately stopped crying, turning around with a cold snort: "It's all because of you, you rebellious son! What did I teach you every day?
One man's actions, one man's responsibility. Since you offended this Immortal's younger sister, then you should pay the price for your actions."
"So much for father-son love! When trouble comes, you just push me out to take the fall. You really are a good dad!"
"Stop talking nonsense. As the saying goes, raising a child for a thousand days is for use in times of need.
Now, it's time for you to show your loyalty to the Huo family. Quickly kowtow to the immortal and admit your mistakes, then obediently lie in the coffin."
Then, he said to the butler who was still trembling beside him, "Don't just stand there like an idiot. Quickly go down and set up the mourning hall. Have someone go to the east side of the city and invite Chef Zhang to the Huo family to prepare the feast."
Huo Huaisheng's face was full of disbelief: "Wait, Father, are you in such a hurry? You've already made all the arrangements before I'm even dead. Looks like I'm really doomed this time?"
Liang Hao snorted coldly: "Are you done talking? If you are, then hurry up and get in."
As soon as he finished speaking, the coffin lid fell directly, scaring Huo Huaisheng to break out in a cold sweat.
In that instant, he burst forth with a strong desire to survive, and he threw himself at Liang Hao's feet, begging for mercy: "Fellow Daoist, can you give me a chance? I'm still young, I can't just die like this."
Liang Hao: "No, you must die today. This concerns the fundamental principles of the Public Arbitration Council, and cannot be changed on a whim."
Huo Huaisheng: "Is there really no room for negotiation? At least give me some time to leave some descendants for the Huo family before I die, alright?"
Liang Hao: "There is room, but you definitely can't do it!"
Huo Huaisheng: "At this point, I'm about to kick the bucket. Why not take a gamble? Fellow Daoist, please give me a chance and point me towards a path of survival!"
Liang Hao was thoughtful for a moment, then said, "This coffin is made of the finest Golden Thread Phoebe, and there's only one in the entire Juzhou City. You say..."
Huo Huaisheng's eyes immediately lit up, and he immediately took out his storage bag: "Immortal, I'm willing to pay a hundred times the price to buy this coffin. Please be accommodating."
Liang Hao showed a displeased expression: "What? Just these measly few coins, and you think you can buy your life?
It seems you don't take the Public Arbitration Council seriously at all. Fine, let the entire Huo family be exterminated."
Huo Kang, upon hearing this, slapped Huo Huaisheng across the face in a fit of rage: "You rebellious son! I truly regret raising you.
Damn it, if only you had died, this would all be over. Now, the entire Huo family will be implicated because of you."
Then, he turned to Liang Hao with a face full of smiles: "Immortal, as long as you can spare my Huo family, just name your conditions."
Liang Hao: "Really, anything?"
"Absolutely!"
"Good!"
Seeing Huo Kang's decisive answer, Liang Hao immediately stated his conditions.
"Firstly, the marriage between your son and my adopted sister, Su Yunying, is hereby nullified. If I ever see your face again…"
"I guarantee your bodies will be scattered across the Nine Realms by tomorrow. You understand what I mean?"
"Yes, yes, of course, no problem."
After this ordeal, how could the Huo family dare to let Su Yunying enter their home? With such a powerful and temperamental elder brother as her backing, could their Huo family afford to offend him?
"Secondly, your outrageous behavior has caused significant mental and reputational damage to my adopted sister. Therefore, I demand that your Huo family relinquish half of your assets to compensate my little sister for her emotional trauma."
"Uh, this?"
Upon hearing that they had to give up so much money, Huo Kang was unwilling.
Huo Huaisheng was even more exasperated in his heart: Go to hell with the emotional trauma! I don't know if his little sister has any emotional trauma, but my young heart is about to explode.
Seeing the two hesitate, Liang Hao raised an eyebrow, "What? Do you have any objections?"
"No, no, no, there's nothing!"
At this point, the only solution was to pay up.
With great reluctance, Huo Kang could only grit his teeth and hand over half of the Huo family's assets to Liang Hao.
After checking the vast amount of Spirit Stones and spiritual herbs in the storage pouch, Liang Hao was finally satisfied. He then said to the two men, "Alright, I'll let you off this time. Remember, next time, my little sister's marriage is not something the Su family can decide."
"Yes, yes, yes, we'll remember the immortal's teachings."
Liang Hao nodded in satisfaction, then continued, "Now that my little sister's matter has been resolved, let's talk about official business.
How do you intend to make amends for openly provoking the authority of my Public Arbitration Council's enforcement elder in public?"
As soon as he said this, Huo Kang and his son were completely dumbfounded.
They didn't even know what the Public Arbitration Council was, how could they have provoked anyone?
For a moment, no one knew what to say.
"What, are you trying to escape the Public Arbitration Council's sanctions with silence? If so, you should consider the consequences yourselves."
Huo Kang shivered and cautiously asked, "Then, Immortal, how do you intend to handle this?"
Liang Hao: "That depends on your sincerity."
Upon hearing this, Huo Kang, feeling the pain, took out another storage bag.
"Here are ten thousand Spirit Stones. Please accept them, Immortal."
Liang Hao took it, looked at it, and then said, "Forget it, seeing that you're so cooperative, I won't make things difficult for you. Round it up, give me another ten thousand Spirit Stones, and let's just let this matter go."
"Pfft~"
Huo Kang vomited a mouthful of blood on the spot.
Half an hour later, Liang Hao, carrying a package made up of over a hundred storage bags, was beaming with satisfaction.
"Hmph, alright, since you all know you were wrong, we'll let this matter drop today.
In the future, it's best to investigate the other party's background before you act, lest you bring unnecessary disaster upon yourself."
With that, Liang Hao took to the air and left without looking back.
Finally seeing Liang Hao off, Huo Kang and his son gradually recovered from their shock.
Father and son stood in silence for about fifteen minutes before Huo Kang slapped Huo Huaisheng directly.
Unexpectedly, Huo Huaisheng had been prepared and dodged the slap in time.
"Father, what are you doing?"
"It's all because of you. Now, just like that, most of the Huo family's assets are gone, just like that. What do you say we do now?"
Thinking of losing half of the Huo family's assets, Huo Kang's heart ached terribly. He wished he could just kill Huo Huaisheng to vent his anger.
Huo Huaisheng said, "Father, how can you blame me for this? This is all because the Su family came to propose marriage, which caused this disaster. We didn't know anything about the background of the Su family's eldest daughter before."
Huo Kang was stunned, and after thinking about it, it made sense. He was immediately furious, "So, Su Lingzhang, you want to play like this, huh?
Don't think you can do whatever you want just because of your Fire Phoenix Clan background and some connections with the Ji Family. The Huo family is not so easy to provoke!"
Huo Huaisheng: "Father, what should we do now?"
Huo Kang: "Immediately call your second and third brothers. We leave for the Su Family at once. I want to question Su Lingzhang in person—what exactly is he up to!"
Huo Huaisheng nodded firmly: "I'll go do it right away."
Inside Pin Yue Ju, while Liang Hao was heading to the Huo Family to stand up for Su Yunying, Luo Fengjiao came to see Su Yunying again to discuss matters related to the Southern Region competition.
But Su Yunying was currently cultivating the Supreme Phoenix Pride Technique, at a crucial moment of entry, and was in a state of meditation. Only Shen Zhao could receive her.
"Young Hero Shen, I've already made the appropriate arrangements. If it's alright, we can set off for Daliang City in the next few days."
"Isn't there still two months? Why the rush?"
"There are indeed two months, but I think it's best to let Xiaoying go to Daliang City first to familiarize herself, so that we won't be in an awkward situation later because we don't know the way."
"That makes sense. I'll talk to the little girl after she's done practicing."
"In that case, thank you."
"Aren't you going?"
"The clan summoned me back to handle some matters. I probably can't go. I'll leave Xiaoying in your care."
"Alright, remember our agreement."
"Yes, then I won't bother you any further."
"No need to see you off."
Watching Luo Fengjiao leave, Shen Zhao nodded.
