Chapter 673: Slapping Oneself in the Face in Public_1

Seeing Yin Tian so leisurely, the expressions on Xuanyuan Yuhao and Lin Yunzhi’s faces also turned very ugly.

However, they dared not express the slightest bit of resentment.

"Yin Tian, human life is at stake, you just said it yourself, Sir Du has less than an hour left!"

Lin Yunzhi said through gritted teeth, looking at Yin Tian, "Are you really going to just watch this happen?"

"You both are aware that there is not much time left, so why waste it on me?"

Yin Tian waved his hand dismissively, "Besides, I’m not just watching; I’m closing my eyes."

"You!"

Xuanyuan Yuhao was about to explode with rage but suddenly realized that they still needed something from Yin Tian, and ultimately suppressed his anger, "Yin Tian, saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story stupa, if you don’t go, not only will our two families suffer, your Yin Family will not be spared either!"

"The affairs of my Yin Family need not concern you, Master Xuanyuan, you should rather consider what kind of attitude you should adopt when you’ll be serving dishes to others, once your Xuanyuan Family becomes a fifth-class family."

Yin Tian spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Yin Tian, what will it take for you to come with us?"

Lin Yunzhi, tired of arguing with Yin Tian, just let out a low shout.

"Didn’t I make it very clear over the phone?"

Yin Tian slightly opened his eyes and glanced at Lin Yunzhi and Xuanyuan Yuhao, "As long as your apologies are sincere enough to move me, I will go out with you."

"You!"

Lin Yunzhi stared hard at Yin Tian.

Yin Tian just talked about the sincerity of an apology; how could he know what counted as sincere?

Watching the two of them lost in thought, Yin Tian smirked, "How about this, you start by slapping your own faces, you must slap hard, and after five hundred slaps, I’ll go there and have a look."

"Five hundred slaps?"

The expressions on both Lin Yunzhi and Xuanyuan Yuhao’s faces stiffened, "Yin Tian! Don’t go too far!"

"One thousand slaps."

Yin Tian spoke emotionlessly.

"Yin Tian, do you think that..."

"One thousand five hundred slaps."

Seeing Xuanyuan Yuhao about to say more, Lin Yunzhi quickly reached out and covered Xuanyuan Yuhao’s mouth.

"Yin Tian."

Lin Yunzhi looked at Yin Tian with a grave expression, "Can’t you propose another condition?"

"Ah..."

Yin Tian shook his head and stood up, picking up the recliner and walking towards the Yin Mansion, "Unwilling to pay even a little for it, yet thinking of getting my labor for free, where on earth is there such a good deal?"

"Wait!"

Seeing Yin Tian about to leave, Lin Yunzhi bit down hard on his teeth, looking at Yin Tian, "Fine! We’ll do it! But with so many slaps, we’ll probably run out of time."

"How about this, you come with us first, then we’ll continue slapping afterward, how does that sound?"

"Why go through all that trouble?"

Yin Tian’s face broke into a smile, "From here, it only takes at most half an hour on foot to that place, we can walk there together while you two slap your faces. By the time we get there, I reckon you should have finished, right?"

Hearing Yin Tian’s words, Lin Yunzhi and Xuanyuan Yuhao’s complexions changed drastically.

This was not only a lesson for the two of them but also meant to utterly humiliate them!

"What? Not willing? Then there’s nothing I can do."

Yin Tian shrugged his shoulders, speaking as if he had no other choice.

"Stop right there!"

Lin Yunzhi called out to Yin Tian once more, "Alright! We’ll do it!"

He wore an expression of resignation.

Rather than waiting for something to happen to Sir Du, then having the Du Family of the Imperial City blame his own clan, it was better for him to endure some humiliation—at least that would ensure his family’s safety!

"Lin Yunzhi, are you really going to do this?"

"Stop wasting words, you think you can escape responsibility?"

As he spoke, Lin Yunzhi already slapped his own face.

His slap was not gentle, instantly turning his half of his cheek red.

Xuanyuan Yuhao also knew there was no turning back; he had no choice but to resignedly slap himself as well.

"Let’s go."

Yin Tian grinned and started walking away.

Behind him, Lin Yunzhi and Xuanyuan Yuhao kept slapping their own faces, one after another.

At this time, there were many people on the road.

Some of them recognized Lin Yunzhi and Xuanyuan Yuhao.

"Hiss!"

"Isn’t that Master Lin of the Lin Family and the young master of the Xuanyuan Family?"

"What are these two doing? Why are they hitting their own faces?"

"Who is that person in front? He looks unfamiliar; I’ve never seen him before."

"I am more curious, why these two young masters from first-class families are slapping themselves in public!"

The crowd was abuzz with discussion.

Lin Yunzhi and Xuanyuan Yuhao both felt a burning pain in their faces.

Part of it was from the slaps, and the other part was from shame.

As the young masters of their clans, they also represented the honor of a powerful family.

This act of self-mutilation in public truly made them wish they could find a hole to crawl into.

Finally.

The three of them arrived in front of a small courtyard.

By that time, the faces of Lin Yunzhi and Xuanyuan Yuhao were swollen beyond recognition.

Even people who knew them well might not be able to identify them.
