"Spare you all?" Huang Xiaolong repeatedly coldly.
However, at this moment, Huang Wei was looking at Huang Xiaolong full of burning hatred and said to Huang Ming and Huang Jun, "Dad, Big Brother, no need to beg this doggie, I don't believe this doggie to dares to do anything to us!"
Hearing this, Huang Ming and Huang Jun's face changed for the worse.
"Quickly kneel down, and admit your faults to Xiaolong!" Huang Ming was exasperated and enraged at the same time; in fact, he was so anxious that when he jumped up, his palm already slapped Huang Wei's face on the right side.
And Huang Ming slapped so hard that it made Huang Wei dizzy and disoriented.
This animal, already in this kind of situation yet he doesn't know the severity of the moment. Till this point, still, he dares to oppose that 'doggie' Huang Xiaolong, isn't he tired of living?!
A cold light flashed across Huang Xiaolong's eyes as he watched Huang Wei.
Huang Qide who has been standing at one side chose to interject at this time. He looked pleadingly at Huang Xiaolong and said, "Xiaolong, Huang Wei is still young and naïve. Grandfather beg you, for your Father's sake, spare them! Grandfather guarantees, this kind of thing will never happen again in the future!"
Su Yan was standing close by and heard everything but she did not say anything.
Then, all of a sudden, sounds of weak footsteps could be heard coming from the inner courtyard and the heavily injured Huang Peng was exerting every effort for each step was seen coming out with the help of a servant.
Even inside, Huang Peng could hear the blasts from Liu Wei and Marshal Haotian's battle, and due to his worry about his son, he stubbornly insisted to go out of his room to look at the situation, disregarding his own damaged body.
The first thing he saw coming out was Liu Wei's body lying on the ground with blood still flowing out from his neck. However, there was no breath left.
Liu Wei, Big Sword Sect Sect Leader, was already dead?!
Huang Peng was greatly shocked, finding it hard to believe.
Liu Wei is a Xiantian realm expert, yet in the end, he was killed. Who was the one who killed him?!
"Peng Ge, why did you come out?!" Seeing Huang Peng, Su Yan asked with worry as she quickly ran to his side and held his arms.
Huang Peng shook his head, insisting "I'm okay." Then, he came to Huang Xiaolong's side, watching his Big Brother Huang Ming, Huang Jun, and Huang Wei kneeling in front of Huang Xiaolong. Although he doesn't know what exactly took place, he could guess more or less what happened.
"Huang Peng, you tell Xiaolong to spare them. Huang Ming and his sons know their mistakes!" Huang Qide quickly said when he saw Huang Peng coming over.
Huang Peng's head turns towards his son, saying "Xiaolong, why don't you spare them?"
To Huang Peng, Huang Xiaolong said, "Dad, you ask me to let them go, but two days ago, did they spare you? When Liu Wei injured you, did Grandfather tell Huang Ming to spare you?!" Huang Xiaolong pointed a finger at Huang Qide, at that time, Huang Qide did not speak up for Huang Peng, telling Huang Ming to spare his parents at all!
"Just now, when Liu Wei said he wanted to waste my cultivation, did Grandfather beg Huang Ming or anyone of them to spare me?" Huang Xiaolong continued, his cold eyes staring at Huang Qide.
If not for the coincidence that he brought Marshal Haotian back with him this time, then, the one who died would absolutely be Fei Hou!
And he would be turned into a waste and a cripple!
Huang Ming, Huang Jun, and Huang Wei will think of many means to torture him; like what Liu Wei stated earlier, death is better than living and death would be a luxury.
Listening to the questions coming from Huang Xiaolong, Huang Qide's head bowed down in shame and no words would come out from his mouth. Huang Ming and Huang Jun also looked down silence.
Huang Peng sighed, and said, "Xiaolong, even so, forgive them this time."
"Fine, I won't kill them." Since his Dad pleaded for them, he couldn't bear to let his father be disappointed. His cold gaze fell on the trio of father and sons; Huang Ming, Huang Jun, and Huang Wei. "Call for the Huang Clan's Elder council and we'll decide this matter according to Huang Clan Manor's rules!"
Decide according to Huang Clan Manor's rules!
Huang Ming, Huang Jun, and Huang Wei were secretly relieved in their hearts. However, their faces also turned a shade paler at the same time.
According to Huang Clan Manor's rules, colluding with outsiders to injure brothers of the clan would be punished by having their cultivation destroyed and being expelled out of Huang Clan Manor!
Night arrived.
Snow continued to fall.
Huang Xiaolong stood in his small yard staring at the dark night sky, letting the snow to fall on his body.
Earlier in the afternoon, Grandfather Huang Qide called for the Elder's Council, and as per the rules of Huang Clan Manor dealt with Huang Ming, Huang Jun, and Huang Wei.
But, during the meeting, his Dad once again pleaded for his Eldest Uncle and in the end, only the three's cultivation were destroyed, but they still remained in Huang Clan Manor.
It was Grandfather Huang Qide who instructed the Chief Steward, Chen Ying to do the act.
The council meeting, Huang Xiaolong did not join, he knew because just moments ago, Su Yan came over and told him the results.
At this point, Marshal Haotian and Fei Hou came behind Huang Xiaolong.
"Sovereign, this matter, please don't blame the Second Manor Lord. After all, that Huang Ming is your Eldest Uncle." Marshal Haotian comforted.
Huang Xiaolong nodded: "I understand." Despite Huang Ming treating Huang Peng that way, his father still pleaded for them. Huang Xiaolong did not blame his father in the slightest.
Minutes later, Huang Xiaolong left the small yard with Marshal Haotian and Fei Hou, and the three of them went to Huang Peng's room.
Both his father and mother were present in the room.
After undergoing the treatment from Huang Xiaolong using the Body Metamorphose Scripture's internal force, Huang Peng's injury had healed a lot, and he was no longer confined to the bed.
"Xiaolong!" Huang Peng and Su Yan seeing Huang Xiaolong walk in with Marshal Haotian and Fei Hou, both of them stood up in a haste.
"Greeting Lord Marshal!" Then, Huang Peng and Su Yan nodded in greeting at Marshal Haotian.
By this time, Huang Peng already knew Marshal Haotian's identity.
"No, no!" Seeing Huang Peng and Su Yan greeted him ceremoniously, Marshal Haotian was a little flustered and he hurried up to hold both Huang Peng and Su Yan. Looking at the two, he smiled bitterly, "In the future, just call me and Fei Hou by name. Both of us are Young Master's Subordinates, we dare not receive such big greetings from the Second Manor Lord and Madam!"
What Marshal Haotian said was the truth; although he is Luo Tong Kingdom's only Marshal, above thousands of soldiers and under one King, before Huang Xiaolong, he is but a Subordinate.
Despite Marshal Haotian's words, Huang Peng and Su Yan still dared not call Marshal Haotian by his name.
This was their Luo Tong Kingdom one and only Marshal Haotian ah!
If this was in the past, they did not even have the qualifications to greet Marshal Haotian.
Moments later, all of them were seated.
Before Huang Peng and Su Yan's eyes, Huang Xiaolong took out twenty cycad fruits.
"This, this is cycad fruit!" Two pairs of eyes were widened in surprised.
Huang Xiaolong smiled and nodded, "Yes, these twenty cycad fruits were something son found by luck. Dad, Mom, both of you take these cycad fruits and cultivate."
Both Huang Peng and Su Yan were about to open their mouth to decline, but Huang Xiaolong was a second faster than them. Shaking his head, Huang Xiaolong said "No need to say anything, I have taken quite a number of cycad fruits. Furthermore, I still have some more of them."
Therefore, Huang Peng and Su Yan could only keep the cycad fruits.
Just when both of them were elated by the cycad fruits, Huang Xiaolong took out two small bottles and to Huang Peng and Su Yan, he said the following: "Dad, Mom, this one is a high grade Grade Four Spirit Dan, Xingyao Dan, whereas this one is a high Grade Five Spirit Dan, Qi Sea Dan. Take it."
High Grade Four Spirit Dan, Xingyao Dan!
High Grade Five Spirit Dan, Qi Sea Dan!
Huang Peng and Su Yan trembled, looking at their son with an inconceivable expression.
"Xiao, Xiaolong, you, you say, inside these two bottles are…?" Huang Peng was tongue-tied, stammering as he tried to try to ask Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong chuckled, "That's right. Actually, I am a Cosmic Star Academy's student. This time in the Academy's competition I won the First Year category and was rewarded with this Xingyao Dan. As for this Qi Sea Dan, it was gifted to me by Principal Sun Zhang and Vice-Principal Xiong Chu."
Cosmic Star Academy Student!
First Year Champion!
The Principal gifted a high Grade Five Spirit Dan to him!
Huang Peng and Su Yan felt as if their heads were spinning, feeling dizzy.
Cosmic Star Academy student ah! Where the entire Luo Tong Kingdom's most talented juniors gathered! Their son was actually a Cosmic Star Academy student; not only that, Xiaolong was the First Year Champion and was given a high Grade Five Spirit Dan from the Principal. What does this mean? Both of them were well aware; this news, however, came too much of a sudden, and it was too shocking and too unbelievable to the point that both of them weren't able to accept it all at the same time.
After what seemed like a very long time, Huang Peng and Su Yan gradually recovered from their shock and excitement; exchanging a look between themselves, Huang Peng shook his head mentally: this son, neither of them could see through him anymore.
Before it was a peak late-Tenth Order Fei Hou following his son, calling him Young Master, and now, even more shocking was the Luo Tong Kingdom's Marshal Haotian also following his son, becoming their son's subordinate.
On top of that, he had become a student of the Cosmic Star Academy, and he was the First Year's number one student, and he was gifted a high Grade Five Spirit Dan for no reason and at no cost!
Everything that happened made them unable to see through the mysteries surrounding their son.
At last, they could only accept the two bottles containing Xingyao Dan and Qi Sea Dan.
Holding the one dan each in their hands, they don't know whether they should be excited or happy.
However, after they have calmed down and accepted the two dans, Huang Xiaolong once again took out two sets of manual, saying "This is a set of an Earth rank cultivation technique and a battle skill."
"What? Earth rank cultivation technique and battle skill!" The newly recovered Huang Peng and Su Yan were once again struck dizzy.
Earth rank!
A buzz continued to resound in their brains.
A long time later, they gradually calmed down.
Taking the Earth rank cultivation technique and battle skill, both were already speechless.
"Dad, Mom, after the New Year two days later, move to the Luo Tong Royal City with me." Huang Xiaolong's voice was serious and low.
"To the Luo Tong Royal City? This…" Huang Peng and Su Yan were surprised at their son's abrupt suggestion and hesitated.
"Due to Liu Wei's death, Huang Clan Manor is no longer safe. Moreover, I bought a mansion in the Royal City." Huang Xiaolong said. Very soon, the Big Sword Sect will know that Liu Wei was killed by him; if his parents and siblings remained in Huang Clan Manor, it is certainly not safe.
Both Huang Peng and Su Yan knew the seriousness of the matter, and they had no conflict in moving to the Royal City; it's just that they have been living in Huang Clan Manor for so long, especially Huang Peng-- from the moment he was born, he had always been here.
"Then, your Grandfather?" When Huang Peng mentioned this, Huang Xiaolong decisively shook his head: "Not possible, Dad. There is no need to bring this matter up anymore."
Huang Peng sighed in his heart; initially, he had wanted to ask his son to bring his father together with them.
But he knew it was impossible for his son to bring Grandfather Huang Qide along. Although his son did not kill Huang Ming and his sons, it doesn't mean Xiaolong had forgiven them. It was because he pleaded for mercy that Xiaolong let the matter be handled according to Huang Clan Manor's rules.
Father Huang Qide had always been partial towards Huang Ming's side, and Huang Peng is aware that is was not possible for his son to forgive his father, Huang Qide.
Huang Peng could already imagine the scene after they left for the Royal City.
The arrival of Big Sword Sect's experts descending onto Huang Clan Manor; Liu Wei dying in Huang Clan Manor, and that meant Huang Clan Manor would not be able to escape Big Sword Sect's wrath. From top to bottom, the manor would be….!!
Huang Peng was struggling in his heart.
Two days came and went.
The New Year is here.
Cold snow was falling outside while the Eastern Courtyard was in a lively mood; little sister, Huang Min, and his little brother, Huang Xiaohai, were pestering for Huang Xiaolong to play with them.
Even though Huang Min suffered a kick from Huang Wei, her injury was lighter than Huang Peng's. And after treatment from Huang Xiaolong, she was almost completely healed.
This New Year was one of the happiest New Year ever for the two little guys.
The warmth and liveliness in the Eastern Courtyard was the complete opposite from the rest of Huang Clan Manor that was drowned in an eerie silence, especially the Northern Courtyard as if it was cursed with a dead atmosphere.
The New Year ended quickly.
On the Third Day of New Year, Huang Xiaolong brought his parents, and siblings away from Huang Clan Manor, heading to the Luo Tong Royal City.
When they were leaving, Huang Peng brought along seven to eight guards and servants; these guards and servants followed Huang Peng since he was little, and all of them were undoubtedly loyal.
Towards this, Huang Xiaolong has no objections.
"Big Brother, is there really a lot a lot of fun places in the Royal City?" On the road, Huang Min asked Huang Xiaolong. When the two little guys found out that they were going to the Royal City, both were jumping with joy. All the way, both were chattering nonstop.
"The Royal City is a fun place." Huang Xiaolong smiled and said.
"Big Brother, do we need to go back to Huang Clan Manor in the future?" Huang Xiaohai asked.
This year, Huang Xiaohai reached the age of seven and had already gone through the martial spirit awakening ceremony. His talent was good, possessing a top grade eight martial spirit.
"What about you, do you want to go back to Huang Clan Manor?" Instead of answering, Huang Xiaolong asked smilingly.
"I never want to go back to Huang Clan Manor!" Huang Xiaohai shook his head vigorously: "I don't want to see that jerk Huang Wei again!"
Huang Peng and Su Yan remained mum on this topic.
Because this time Huang Xiaolong was traveling with his family, the speed of their journey was quite slow, using six days to travel out of Canglan County.
At the speed they were moving, it would take at least a month for them to reach Luo Tong Royal City.
As they left Canglan County, Marshal Haotian informed Huang Xiaolong; Huang Qide, Huang Ming, and the clan moved away from the manor, leaving Huang Clan Manor behind.
Huang Xiaolong nodded.
This was within his expectation.
Huang Qide was afraid Big Sword Sect will vent their wrath on Huang Clan Manor, so he would surely move Huang Clan away to a safer place.
Very quickly, twenty days had passed in the journey.
In the entire journey, no one felt dull with Huang Min and Huang Xiaohai 'twittering' all the way; due to the many days spent together, Huang Min, Huang Xiaohai, and the little violet monkey grew familiar, the three often horsed around together.
One day, deep into the quiet night.
Huang Xiaolong was resting in a spot of open place near a forest.
Everyone gathered around the bonfire, and hanging above the bonfire was the Sandyfern Beast and its fragrant smell wafted around from roasting the meat. Huang Min, Huang Xiaohai, and the little violet monkey were very well-behaved, waiting obediently at the side with saliva drooling from their mouths as big, round eyes stared fixedly on the piece of roasting meat. Fire glowed and casted an orangey-red shadow over his parents' silhouette.
Watching this scene, a burst of warmth filled Huang Xiaolong's heart.
At this time, Marshal Haotian suddenly came behind Huang Xiaolong, and in a low voice whispered: "Young Master, Subordinate has something to report about the Huang Clan Manor."
Huang Xiaolong stood up and walked some distance away from the bonfire, more than a dozen meters away to be exact.
"What is it?" Huang Xiaolong asked.
"Young Master, Subordinate just received a report saying Big Sword Sect has found Huang Qide and the rest." Marshal Haotian relayed honestly, "Huang Qide is dead, Huang Ming, Huang Jun, and Huang Wei were also killed off by people from Big Sword Sect."
Huang Xiaolong was silent for a moment, and then nodded: "I know." After saying that, he turned around, returning to the bonfire.
"Xiaolong, what is it?" Huang Peng asked as if already he already guessed the outcome.
Huang Xiaolong nodded, "Haotian just reported that the people of the Huang Clan Manor was found by the Big Sword Sect." Regarding this matter, Huang Xiaolong did not want to hide it from his father.
