Chapter 635: Hurry up and apologize!

The Xiao Clan elder laughed heartily and said.

"It's not that I'm just watching you spar; I'm feeling the urge to try some techniques."

"I also want to spar with you, Mr. Lin."

Lin Yang heard this, smiled and said.

"If that's the case, then I'll exchange a few moves with you, old sir."

Upon hearing this, the Xiao Clan elder laughed loudly and stood in front of Lin Yang.

"Good, let's have a bout."

Xiao Zhenxing looked on, feeling a bit anxious.

He wanted to stop it, but Xiao Zhenjun and the others prevented him.

"Zhenxing, they're just sparring; grandfather knows what he's doing, so you can relax."

"He won't hurt Lin Yang."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhenxing quickly said.

"I'm afraid grandfather doesn't know how formidable Lin Yang is and will get hurt by him."

Xiao Zhenyu gave a dismissive smile.

"You're just boosting others' prestige; how many years has Lin Yang trained?"

"Could he be a match for grandfather?"

At this moment, the Xiao Clan elder, looking at Lin Yang, chuckled and said.

"Let's put some stakes on our match; what do you think?"

Upon hearing that, Lin Yang nodded and said.

"Elder, what do you think would be a good stake?"

The old man took out a patched Sumeru Bag and chuckled.

"Let's use the Sumeru Bag as the stake."

"Whoever wins gets the Sumeru Bag."

Upon hearing that, Lin Yang produced his own Sumeru Bag.

Seeing Lin Yang's intact Sumeru Bag, the Xiao Clan elder's eyes filled with greed.

"If I could get my hands on that Sumeru Bag, how wonderful that would be."

"Elder, I'll go along with your suggestion."

Seeing Lin Yang readily agree, the old man burst out laughing.

"Good, straightforward."

At that moment, Xiao Guowei, who was returning home, heard the commotion in the rear courtyard and came over.

As soon as he appeared, many gazes gathered on him.

Xiao Zhenxing saw Xiao Guowei and immediately ran over.

"Dad, Grandfather wants to fight Lin Yang."

"You need to hurry and stop him."

"Otherwise, what will we do if Grandfather gets beaten to death!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Guowei's eyes widened.

"What's gotten into that old man? Wasn't he just going to eat a meal? How did he end up wanting to fight Lin Yang?"

Xiao Zhenxing said: "I'm not sure; perhaps he just wants to vent his frustration on the eldest brother and the others."

Upon hearing that, Xiao Guowei glanced at Xiao Zhenjun and Xiao Zhenyu.

When he saw the red mark on Xiao Zhenyu's face, his expression darkened and he said.

"Did Lin Yang do that?"

Xiao Zhenyu immediately nodded, looking aggrieved, and said.

"It was him who hit me; I dueled with him, yet he humiliated me like this!"

"This is utterly destroying our Xiao Clan's prestige!"

"And the elder brother keeps helping outsiders!"

Xiao Guowei wore a grim expression, stepped up to him, and dealt a harsh slap.

"I say, you hit too lightly!"

"How come you didn't beat him to death!"

"You wretched thing, do you intend to harm our Xiao Clan?"

With that, Xiao Zhenyu was utterly dumbfounded.

At that moment, Xiao Guowei shouted.

"Dad, hurry up and stop!"

He ran between the two, clasped his fists toward Lin Yang, and said.

"Mr. Lin, I'm truly sorry; my father is just an old child, acting on a whim, with no ill intent."

Upon hearing that, the Xiao Clan elder instantly became displeased.

"His own son actually apologized to Lin Yang."

"They're the Xiao Clan, after all!"

Lin Yang chuckled and said.

"It's fine; it's just a spar."

"A spar?"

Xiao Guowei turned his head to look at his father.

"Dad, you absolutely must not make a move."

"Otherwise, the consequences will be dire."

Hearing this, the Xiao Clan patriarch let out a cold snort.

"What's so terrible? I've at least reached Jié dān; even if she's formidable, it's still uncertain who will win."

Hearing his father's words, Xiao Guowei was speechless.

He could only walk over to the patriarch's side and speak softly.

"Dad, Lin Yang is a Nascent Soul Elder, the kind of Nascent Soul that can go toe-to-toe with the ancestors!"

"Once he harbors killing intent toward you, no one can protect you!"

"Don't forget, the ancestors haven't awakened; our Xiao Clan has no Nascent Soul Elder."

Upon hearing this, the Xiao Clan patriarch's eyes widened instantly, his face full of disbelief.

"You mean that young man is at the Nascent Soul realm?"

"Exactly, he entered Nascent Soul in Xianggang, and the ancestors sensed the disturbance."

"It was he who told us to go to Xianggang to seek this Nascent Soul Elder."

The matter of the Eight Great Families' ancestors awakening simultaneously is known among the Eight Great Families.

Even though he was abroad, he still received some news.

But he never expected that person to be Lin Yang!

"Guowei, you can't deceive me."

Xiao Guowei was so angry he laughed.

"What would I gain by deceiving you? Besides, he's the present-day Dragon King!"

"Do you think, without strength, one could bring the Dragon Group into line?"

Hearing his son's words, the Xiao Clan patriarch gave up fighting Lin Yang.

Seeing the patriarch take his words to heart, Xiao Guowei also breathed a sigh of relief.

He smiled slightly and said to Lin Yang.

"Mr. Lin, you're new to Yanjing; why not let Zhenxing show you around?"

Lin Yang merely smiled and looked at the old man.

"Old man, we aren't supposed to duel? We've already set the stakes."

"You don't intend to duel me?"

The Xiao Clan patriarch smiled and said.

"This old fellow just loves to forget things!"

"I completely don't remember what you said."

"Guowei, I'm a bit tired; I want to go upstairs to rest— you attend to the guest."

Seeing the Xiao Clan patriarch about to leave, Lin Yang chuckled and said.

"Patriarch, you don't want my Sumeru Bag?"

The old man hurriedly covered his own Sumeru Bag upon hearing that.

"No, no."

"I'm going to rest."

Having said that, he summoned a servant to help him walk away.

After returning to the living room, Xiao Guowei wore a grim face as he looked at Xiao Zhenjun and Xiao Zhenyu.

"You two are really something!"

"You dare to strike even our Xiao Clan's honored guest!"

"Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Lin, or face family punishment!"

Upon hearing that, Xiao Zhenjun and his brother wore looks of shock.

They stared at Xiao Guowei in disbelief.

"Dad, have you made a mistake?"

"What honored guest?"

Xiao Zhenyu had just finished speaking when Xiao Guowei slapped him.

"You unfilial wretch, at this time you still want to harm our Xiao Clan!"

"Say another word of nonsense and I'll break your leg!"

Xiao Zhenyu was struck so hard he almost cried.

He felt utterly wronged— why would his own father strike him for an outsider?

"Hurry up and apologize!"

Seeing Xiao Guowei flare up, the brothers dared not delay.

They stood before Lin Yang and immediately bowed in apology.

"Mr. Lin, sorry, we previously offended you!"

While they apologized, the Xiao Clan patriarch pondered, then went to the secret chamber to find the Xiao Clan ancestors.

As soon as he arrived at the secret chamber, before he could speak, the door opened.

A gaunt old man sat cross-legged on a futon.

"Hongjie, which family's ancestor has come to our Xiao Clan?"

Xiao Hongjie immediately shook his head upon hearing that.

No, ancestor, did you get it wrong?

Which Nascent Soul Elder appeared in our Xiao Clan!
