Chapter 1955

"You are truly overbearing, Sir!"

Long Zhidu's eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at He Pingsheng: "It has been many years since anyone has spoken to me like this!"

Old Cao took up the thread: "That is only because you have not seen anyone of a higher level all these years; a frog at the bottom of a well, yet you dare to bark wildly before our Young Master?"

"You..." Old Cao's single sentence broke Long Zhidu's composure.

"Good, good, good..."

"Good, good, good..."

Long Zhidu was stung into silence for a good while and could not recover, yet he did not dare to flare up easily.

After a long time, a woman of the Long family said: "Patriarch He... the fact that you trapped three of our Long family members remains a fact, does it not!"

"It is a fact!" He Pingsheng said blandly, "The first time, two came: one called Fu Bo, one called Long Yutai!"

"These two were extremely rude; upon arriving at my He family they demanded to challenge us at our doorstep!"

"A doorstep challenge would have been fine, but your Long Yutai was arrogant to the extreme, actually harboring the delusion of seizing this Young Master's Dao Companion!"

"He made a wager with my He family, and then both sides engaged in a contest of the Dao!"

"After this Young Master defeated him, he fulfilled his promise and left both himself and Fu Bo at my He family to become the He family's servants — what overbearing behavior can be spoken of here?"

The moment He Pingsheng's voice fell, Old Cao waved a hand, displaying the arrogant and shameless behavior of Long Yutai and Fu Bo when they first came to the He family.

After watching this segment of footage, everyone in the great hall fell silent.

Because what was shown in that footage — the two were truly too arrogant.

Not only arrogant, but also rude, greedy!

"Good..." Long Zhidu said: "Even so, did you really defeat our family's Old Seventeenth?"

Old Cao said: "Don't rush; I knew you wouldn't admit it — I still have footage!"

Next, the footage of He Pingsheng's contest with Long Yutai was played.

In the footage, when He Pingsheng raised his glove a second time intending to attack, Long Yutai directly surrendered.

The footage came to an abrupt halt there.

"Huu..." Long Zhidu let out a deep breath and said: "Even so, my Long family's Second Elder Long Yi came — why did you also trap her in the He family?"

"Good question!" Old Cao laughed cheekily: "This question... Elder Long Yi saw that I, Old Cao, cut a dignified figure, and actually wanted to forcefully take me as a Dao Companion!"

"I, Old Cao, resisted with all my might, and nearly fell prey to her!"

"Fortunately the Young Master arrived in time to save me, and only then was she also trapped in the He family!"

"Hehehe... everyone, this involves Cao's own privacy, so I won't show you the footage..."

Old Cao smiled with a bashful expression, then shut his mouth.

"You..." This time the Long family members were so angry they nearly lost control.

Long Yi... she has always been dignified; how could she possibly develop feelings for a rotten old man like you?

This is clearly a lie.

But now, the Long family people are actually helpless.

"Patriarch He..." a woman asked He Pingsheng: "How did you trap my Long family disciples? You are merely a two-star family; our Long family's elders are all Middle Gods of the God Monarch Realm!"

This question drew doubtful gazes from the others as well.

Everyone wanted to know.

He Pingsheng merely smiled and said: "Why should I tell you? This is our He family's secret!"

"If you really want to know, you can try making a move first!"

"The moment you make a move, I will immediately let you know!"

"Do you want to know or not?"

"If we fight, we fight..." a Long family woman suddenly stepped forward, fully releasing the pressure and divine power on her body, Dao laws pressing down one after another.

Her thought was simple: directly seize He Pingsheng.

No matter what method you used, you are only three ants below the God Realm.

I'll seize you, this He family Patriarch, first — then won't the initiative be in my hands?

As for this woman's attack, the other elders and the Long family Ancestor did not stop her, even tacitly permitting it.

They also wanted to see: if the Patriarch were controlled, what could the He family do?

The result...

Whoosh...

A thin red rope suddenly flew out from the woman behind He Pingsheng, instantly binding the Long family elder's body tight, and with a bang flung her onto the gunboat's floor.

The entire gunboat shook violently.

This...

Only then did everyone's gazes land on Yu Si.

"You... you're not God Spirit Realm?" Long Zhidu also reacted.

"You guessed right!" Yu Si flipped her jade hand, the red rope flying out again, this time heading straight for Long Zhidu.

Long Zhidu took a deep breath and responded carefully, but alas, when he tried to act, he suddenly discovered he could not move.

He was horrified: Damn it... what cultivation does this woman actually have?

How can she immobilize me?

Could it be God Venerable Realm?

Good, good, good... a mere two-star family actually has a God Venerable Realm expert.

Bang...

While Long Zhidu's mind raced, he was already slammed face-first heavily onto the floor.

"Ah..." Yu Si waved her hand again, and the remaining three were also tied up securely.

Five people, five Middle Gods at the God Monarch realm, all brought under control.

"Hahaha..." He Pingsheng watched and laughed heartily, saying: "Now you know how I trapped your God Monarchs, right?"

As he spoke, He Pingsheng's gaze shifted, and he looked toward the two from the Lu family.

The two from the Lu family shrank back in fright.

That Lu family head, Lu Tianci, said: "Young Master He... I... we... if there's nothing else, we'll be leaving first!"

"Don't!" He Pingsheng said: "Senior Lu had better not leave. I happen to need to negotiate some matters with the Long family head; Senior Lu staying behind can serve as a witness, no?"

"Yes, yes, yes..." Lu Tianci could only nod in agreement.

Lu Jian, seeing this scoundrel, was so frightened he trembled like a sieve, not daring to speak at all.

He was even thinking whether to return the five female slaves he had taken from the He family before.

No, no, no...

Five definitely won't do; later I have to pay back double to Old Cao. That guy, he actually hid his depth this well?

"Deputy City Lord Long!" He Pingsheng sat down leisurely in the seat!

That Deputy City Lord Long and the other several elders also climbed up from the ground, tied up and thrown into the chairs to the side.

"Now, you are the fish and meat, I am the knife and chopping block!"

"If this Young Master wants to exterminate your Long family, it would only take a moment!"

"Do you believe it?"

"Believe, believe, believe..." Long Zhi had to believe even if he didn't; he subconsciously glanced at Yu Si.

He Pingsheng pointed at Yu Si and said: "Don't look. This slave of mine is a God King, not someone you can oppose!"

"Yes, yes, yes..." Long Zhi nodded: "Please forgive our rashness, Senior. We absolutely won't dare again. As long as Senior lets us go, everything is negotiable!"

He Pingsheng continued: "Letting you go isn't impossible!"

"Just need to agree to a few conditions of mine!"

"Satisfy my conditions, and this Young Master will not only let you go, but can also guarantee you continue to sit securely in the Deputy City Lord position!"
