Chapter 544: Apologize to Your Uncle Wang

~7 min read 1,364 words

Following the instructions in Gu Xinran's message, Wang Jianqiang arrived before a small courtyard.

Not long after he triggered the Array outside the courtyard.

The courtyard gate opened, revealing the distorted space behind the door.

The next moment.

Two figures walked out from the distorted space one after another.

The person walking in front was none other than Gu Xinran.

"Daoist Friend Wang."

Upon seeing Wang Jianqiang, Gu Xinran wore a gentle smile and walked lightly to Wang Jianqiang's side.

Wang Jianqiang nodded with a smile.

"Come, Daoist Friend Wang, let me introduce you to my nephew." Gu Xinran pulled on Wang Jianqiang's palm and pointed toward the figure standing blankly at the entrance.

Just as she was about to speak.

An incredulous voice suddenly entered her ears.

"Wang Jianqiang, it's actually you, you bastard!"

Before the courtyard gate.

Feng Yichen glared fixedly at Wang Jianqiang, his gaze as if it could devour a person.

He had never imagined that.

The good friend his aunt spoke of would actually be Wang Jianqiang.

This bastard not only humiliated him and caused him to lose his family's most important Secret Technique, but he even wanted to be his uncle-in-law!!!

Too bullying!

A gentleman can endure what a gentleman cannot!

Thinking of this, his eyes turned red.

"You son of a bitch, I'll fight you to the death!"

"Today, either you die or I perish!"

Amidst an angry roar, he directly erupted with Spiritual Power and charged toward Wang Jianqiang.

The sudden turn of events startled Gu Xinran.

She subconsciously unleashed her Space Artistic Conception.

Freezing the space.

Feng Yichen was immediately restrained, his figure stiffened, unable to move.

Gu Xinran looked at Feng Yichen, her expression sinking, "Feng Yichen, have you gone mad? You know full well he is my good friend, yet you dare to be so rude?"

Feng Yichen glared at Wang Jianqiang with hatred, then looked at Gu Xinran, "Aunt, the arch-nemesis I told you about is him."

Hearing Feng Yichen's words, Gu Xinran was stunned.

The arch-nemesis Yichen spoke of was actually Wang Jianqiang?

Was it Wang Jianqiang who bullied Yichen?

After a good while, she finally came back to her senses.

She glared fiercely at Feng Yichen, "You brat have loved causing trouble since you were small; it must be that you were ignorant and offended Daoist Friend Wang."

Having said that, she looked at Wang Jianqiang, revealing an apologetic look, "Daoist Friend Wang, this child Yichen is ignorant; please do not hold it against him."

Hearing this, Feng Yichen couldn't help but widen his eyes.

No!

Wasn't his aunt supposed to be here specifically to back him up?

Why did the wind direction suddenly change?

And he hadn't even mentioned the details of his conflict with Wang Jianqiang to her, had he?

How could she be so sure it was his fault?

On the other side.

Wang Jianqiang was also somewhat dazed.

He also hadn't expected that Gu Xinran's nephew would be Feng Yichen.

After hearing Gu Xinran's words, he came back to his senses.

He cast a subtle glance at Feng Yichen and shook his head with a smile, "So Xinran's nephew is Yichen."

"If I had known earlier that Yichen was your nephew, I wouldn't have held a grudge when he caused me trouble back then."

"It's just a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King Temple."

As he spoke, a look of self-reproach appeared on his face.

Gu Xinran shook her head, "Daoist Friend, there is no need to blame yourself; when you and Yichen had your conflict, we had not yet met, so it is understandable."

"Besides, this child's personality has long needed correcting; it's good for him to suffer a little."

Feng Yichen listened to his aunt's tone, which was unbelievably gentle and filled with sweet reasonableness.

His eyes widened even further.

His eyeballs almost popped out.

Since when did his aunt speak so gently?

And although she was not a person who would stir up trouble, she was not a pushover in daily life either.

Since when did she become so reasonable?

Isn't this favoritism a bit too obvious?

A friend is a person, but a nephew isn't??

Huh?

Most importantly...

He had already given up on taking revenge against Wang Jianqiang.

It was only under his aunt's earnest persuasion that he reignited his fighting spirit.

Unexpectedly.

His aunt turned around and directly betrayed him, dealing him a blow to the head herself.

Is this something a person would do??

If not for the sake of saving face.

Feng Yichen would be on the verge of tears right now.

"It's good that you can understand, Xinran," Wang Jianqiang said with a gentle smile.

Gu Xinran looked at Feng Yichen, then at Wang Jianqiang, and hesitated, "Then, about Yichen's offense just now..."

"It's fine, he's just a child, it's normal to make some mistakes," Wang Jianqiang waved his hand magnanimously.

A child???

Feng Yichen was so angry he nearly fainted.

This Wang Jianqiang isn't even two hundred years old, at least a hundred years younger than him, yet he calls him a child??

Have you no shame?

"Daoist Friend Wang is as magnanimous as ever."

A flash of admiration crossed Gu Xinran's eyes as she turned back to look at Feng Yichen.

With a thought.

She lifted the spatial confinement.

Feng Yichen immediately regained his freedom.

He did not impulsively attack Wang Jianqiang again, though his gaze toward Wang Jianqiang remained very unfriendly.

"Yichen, you were too impulsive just now."

"Why don't you hurry over and apologize to your Uncle Wang?"

Uncle Wang???

Hearing this form of address, Feng Yichen nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood.

"What, is it beneath you to call my friend Uncle Wang?" Gu Xinran glared at him.

Feng Yichen immediately revealed a conflicted expression, his face changing incessantly.

Wang Jianqiang looked at Feng Yichen with a smile, then looked at Gu Xinran, "Xinran, since the child can't bring himself to say it, why don't we just address each other as we see fit."

"How could that be?"

"Wouldn't that mess up the seniority?"

I don't know why.

On the issue of this form of address, Gu Xinran was unexpectedly insistent.

After speaking.

She looked at Feng Yichen, a dangerous glint flashing in her beautiful eyes.

"Feng Yichen, oh Feng Yichen, ever since I left the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, I've had very few chances to see you."

"I thought that since you were grown up, being as strict with your discipline as I was back then would be somewhat damaging to your dignity."

"That is why I haven't disciplined you for so many years."

"Do you feel like you've become capable again?"

"You dare to disobey what I say?"

Gu Xinran's voice was not loud, even somewhat soft.

But upon hearing Gu Xinran's words, Feng Yichen couldn't help but shudder all over.

He couldn't help but recall those unbearable memories from long ago.

The dignity in his heart was instantly discarded.

He looked at Gu Xinran with a mournful face.

"Aunt, don't be like this, I'm scared..."

"I'll call him, is that not enough?"

After speaking, he shifted his gaze to look at Wang Jianqiang, a smile that looked worse than crying appearing on his face, "Uncle Wang."

"Ah, good child."

Wang Jianqiang nodded with a smile.

Feng Yichen immediately felt as if he had eaten a dead fly, feeling incomparably uncomfortable.

"Is just calling him enough?"

"Your Uncle Wang is magnanimous and forgave your collision just now, so you're just going to act like it never happened?"

Gu Xinran glanced sideways at Feng Yichen.

Feng Yichen's expression stiffened.

"Uncle Wang, I was too impulsive."

"I shouldn't have cursed you, and even less should I have attacked you. Can you forgive me?"

Wang Jianqiang nodded with a smile.

Then he looked at Gu Xinran helplessly.

"Xinran, you are too strict, look at how you've scared the child."

"Didn't I say it already? Don't blame the child."

"Alright, stop being angry, you'll only end up making yourself sick."

As he spoke.

He raised an arm and wrapped it around Gu Xinran's shoulders.

Feng Yichen's vision went black.
