"However …"

Su Xing intentionally dragged his voice out, "I can't kill you, so I should be able to beat you up, right?"

"No," Zhang Liang firmly objected, "If you dare to beat me, I can still let my father destroy the entire Cheng Family."

Su Xing was instantly enraged and directly slapped Zhang Liang in the face.

"The heck, it's one thing if I can't kill you, but it's another if I can't beat you up. Are you sure you think too much of yourself?"

Su Xing said, "Are the officials of the imperial government that impressive? "Even if His Majesty comes today, I'll still do the same. If you have the ability to come at me and use the Cheng family to threaten me, I'll see that you've had enough of living!"

Su Xing did not hold back his emotions at all. This slap almost stunned Zhang Liang.

"Bastard, you dare hit me. I swear, I'll definitely beat you …"

"Pa …"

Before Zhang Liang could shout out, Su Xing once again sent him flying with a slap.

A scorching pain burned Zhang Liang's face as he panted heavily. His fury caused him to be unable to hold back from showing off in front of Su Xing again and again.

However, every time he received a slap, it would be from Su Xing.

"Enough! Kid, what you are doing now will bring about a calamity to the Cheng family." Fu Shan reminded them.

"I'm not a member of the Cheng family, so I'm the one who did this. If you mention the Cheng family, do you want to try slapping them?" Su Xing laughed.

With a stern expression, Fu Shan said, "You dare!"

"Aiyo, you're f * cking putting on an act in front of laozi. I'll let you know now, do I dare or not!"

Su Xing directly raised his palm. However, just as he was about to slap downwards, a rushing wind sound suddenly appeared in the air.

A stone flew towards Su Xing from the direction of the main entrance.

The speed of the attack was so fast that it left everyone flabbergasted.

At the same time that Su Xing sensed danger, he hurriedly turned to the side before safely dodging the attack.

"How dare you!"

As he said that, a youth dressed in white walked in from the entrance. His attire was whiter than Su Xing's.

Su Xing gazed into the distance. Other than the white-clothed young man, there was also a lady with a pretty face following closely behind him.

With just a glance, Su Xing could tell that the two of them were extraordinary.

"Brother Zhou, little sister Yu Rou, quickly save us!"

When Zhang Liang and Fu Shan saw the newcomer, they became excited.

Sure enough, they were in the same group. Su Xing began to grow cautious. The two people that appeared later on were much stronger than Zhang Liang and Fu Shan.

"I called you here to scout, is that how you scout the road?" The youth in white said in a stern voice.

"Brother Zhou, it's all because of this kid. As soon as we entered, we were stopped by him. He didn't even put us in his eyes."

"Brother Zhou, you must avenge us!"

"Revenge for what?" At this moment, an aged voice sounded.

Su Xing noticed that when these few people from the capital heard this voice, they all quieted down. They looked extremely respectful.

"Elder Li!"

When this person walked in, these people all called out respectfully.

Su Xing didn't recognize Old Li, but he did recognize the person standing next to Old Li, Cheng Yao.

Yes, Cheng Yao was standing right next to Elder Li.

"Cheng Yao, ah, give me an explanation on this matter!" Elder Li said calmly.

Cheng Yao hastily nodded his head and said, "Elder Li, I'll definitely give you an explanation. However, I firmly believe that the members of our Cheng Clan won't act for no reason. Please give me a reason. I need to know what exactly happened."

Elder Li nodded his head. Only after Cheng Yao had invited everyone into the living room did he begin asking Su Xing and the others about the matter.

"Dad, this matter isn't obedient Su Xing. He did it to help us." Cheng Jin took the initiative to defend Su Xing.

"I just went out for a walk and something like this happened after I came back. Do you know who they are? They are the ones representing the Great Zhou Empire in the Everlasting Stone Monuments. Do you know how much trouble you have caused me?"

For the past few days, Cheng Yao had been busily preparing for his welcome. Now, however, even though he had been busy for so long, it was all ruined.

Cheng Yao looked at Cheng Jin and the others. Seeing how worried they were, he couldn't bear to scold them any further. He could only sigh and slowly ask, "What exactly happened? Tell me quickly!"

Only now did Cheng Jin recount everything that had just happened. After listening to his story, Cheng Yao's frown deepened.

Facing an important figure like Elder Li, he didn't dare to hide anything and could only speak in full detail. After he finished speaking, he pleaded, "It's just children messing around, I hope Elder Li can be magnanimous. Don't take it to heart."

When Elder Li finished listening, his expression immediately became more serious. He looked at Zhang Liang and Fu Shan and said in a deep voice, "How did I explain it to you before coming here? Or are you not listening at all?

"Brilliant and arrogant. Truly mighty. Do you think that you're very powerful?"

Elder Li's sudden words caused Zhang Liang and Fu Shan to tremble all over, and they immediately knelt down.

"Elder Li, we were wrong, we were really wrong!"

They were begging for mercy!

Seeing this scene, Su Xing thought to himself, "This old fogey isn't bad. He actually doesn't favor these two people."

However, just as this thought appeared in his mind, Elder Li's gaze swept over him once again.

At that instant, when they looked at each other, Su Xing felt a great sense of oppression.

Elder Li casually glanced at Su Xing before his gaze stopped on Cheng Yao.

"I know a bit about the habits of the two of them. It was their fault first, so I will naturally punish them severely."

Hearing Elder Li's words, Cheng Yao hurriedly shook his head. "No, no, no. It's normal for youngsters to have some sort of collision between themselves. There's no need to be too concerned …"

Before Cheng Yao could finish his sentence, he saw Elder Li close his eyes in silence.

At that moment, Cheng Yao felt as if he had committed a grave mistake. He actually dared to interrupt Elder Li's words. As a result, he directly cut off the latter part of his sentence and stood rooted to the spot in a daze.

"Ah, Cheng Yao. You've been here for ten years already, haven't you? You've been trying to find out about the information from the other two empires in our Great Zhou Empire, haven't you?"

Elder Li said, "You can be considered a meritorious general of our Great Zhou Empire. Of course, I will not care about so many things. However, there are some things that I have no choice but to care about."

Elder Li's words caused Cheng Yao to be alarmed.

Elder Li's gaze suddenly turned towards Su Xing as he continued, "This child dares to hurt someone from our imperial court. Even though he was the first to act in accordance to reason, his contempt for the Great Zhou Empire is unforgivable!"
