I, I was just…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just had a little dispute with that guy from the Liang Family, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the big deal?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation might have been somewhat manageable if the Zhou Family’s eldest son had not spoken these words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as soon as they slipped out of his mouth,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The anger in the eyes of the current Family Head of the Zhou Family, one of the Five Great Families of Qingshi City, seemed almost ready to overflow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just a little dispute?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current Family Head of the Zhou Family said as he fiercely hit his son’s face with his right hand once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound was so crisp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The force was immense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just incredible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the current Family Head of the Zhou Family seemed to completely forget that the person before him was his own son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The force of the blow was nearly murderous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was truly a sight that would make onlookers’ hearts ache and bring tears to their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Liang Family’s eldest son, another member of the Five Great Families of Qingshi City who was standing to the side, was somewhat dumbstruck by the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after a moment of astonishment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Liang Family’s eldest son regained his composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled and quietly stood to the side to enjoy the drama.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he didn’t quite understand\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why the current Family Head of the Zhou Family was treating his son like this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The understanding or lack thereof was no longer important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At present, for Young Master Liang of the Liang Family, what truly mattered was to watch the show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To stand there attentively, meticulously, without missing a single detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t often that one witnessed Young Master Zhou of the Zhou Family being beaten up so wildly, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, Dad, you’re here too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quick, come over here, let’s watch the drama together…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Watching that lofty Young Master Zhou being beaten up by his own father, it’s really quite something.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Young Master Liang continued to speak with interest to his own father, who was rapidly approaching and seemed to be putting all his energy into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dad, please stand here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This spot has a good view.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When his father finally arrived,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Liang silently made room for the best view of the spectacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had intended to watch the drama together with his father,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, to Young Master Liang’s surprise,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as his father arrived, he immediately raised his somewhat chubby yet powerful hand\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And heavily smacked his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Slap…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crisp sound gradually rose in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the Zhou Family’s eldest son, Young Master Liang had now also joined the ranks of those being furiously beaten by their fathers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An extremely peculiar turn of events unfolded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making most of the onlookers and cultivators present at the scene somewhat puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What in heaven’s name was going on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on the development of events, shouldn’t the two Family Heads of the Five Great Families of Qingshi City have been supporting their sons?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then there’s the standoff between the Zhou and Liang Families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, why…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had things developed to such an extent?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was quite baffling, truly baffling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dad, what, what are you doing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s this all about?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially bewildered and having been soundly thrashed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After coming back to his senses, both the Zhou Family’s eldest son and Young Master Liang swiftly created distance from their fathers,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And looked at their fathers with confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, their puzzled and inquiring gazes,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Failed to elicit any sympathy from their fathers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they received an even harsher beating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, relentless punishment was the simple answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, at least the two of them hadn’t provoked the heir apparent of the next Family Head of the Luo Family of Qingshi City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, there was still room for the situation to turn around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, no matter how fierce the beating, it wasn’t likely to be fatal or leave them maimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should they anger Young Master Luo of the Luo Family, however, things would get complicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, if the two of them wanted to administer punishment, it would be too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, all this is a performance for my benefit?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Yao watched silently as the two pairs of fathers and sons unfolded before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed softly to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget it, forget it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since things had come to this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And since the current heads of both the Zhou and Liang Families had stepped forward already,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even went so far as to beat their sons so severely,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What could a member of the Luo Family like him do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly of all…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zhou Family’s eldest son and Young Master Liang had not yet had the chance to strike him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or to speak ill of him.\u003C\u002Fp>",978,"2026-06-03T12:44:27.358Z","2026-06-03T12:44:26.417Z",1,"novelbin.me","963072e5ea594534d8f045044ed392b382f04fa9246007ff3568f21c06e8ba79","immortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--chapter-705","immortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--chapter-703",2094,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--cover.jpg"]
