Chapter 2309: Tears of the Grand Steward

The Young Master was clenching his fists, ready to cheer loudly, but his mouth opened and before he could make a sound, he saw the scene before him and immediately froze, dumbfounded.

“Who exactly is this Young man?”

This thought appeared in his mind for the first time.

He was very clear that all those around his cousin were experts, so how could they be easily dealt with by the other party's woman? This was too illogical.

Zhao Lin, kneeling there, felt the same way. For so many years, whenever his bodyguards acted, they were always victorious. This was the first time such a situation had occurred.

Ye Bufan looked at him, smiled slightly, bent down, and patted his cheek: “Da Shao, do you have any other tricks? Feel free to use them.”

Zhao Lin gritted his teeth: “You… Young man, I’m telling you, you’ve gotten yourself into big trouble today. Do you know who I am?”

“I don’t know. Then tell me who you are.”

Ye Bufan still had to stay in this Imperial City for a while and was not in a hurry to leave, so he patiently played along with the other party.

“Young man, I am a member of the Zhao Family!”

After Zhao Lin finished speaking, seeing that the other party had no reaction, he assumed he was an outsider who didn't know his identity, and then continued, “My grand-uncle is Zhao Huiying, the Grand Manager of the current Imperial Family, a Late Stage Void Tempering expert.”

Ye Bufan was stunned for a moment. He had just met Zhao Huiying and talked about his blind younger brother. He didn't expect to encounter his good-for-nothing nephew so soon.

“You said Grand Manager Zhao is your grand-uncle?”

“Of course!”

Seeing his appearance, Zhao Lin thought the other party was scared, and immediately felt confident again.

“Now you know fear, don’t you? I’m telling you, quickly kneel down and apologize to this Young Master.

Then take out all your Spirit Stones as compensation, and you might still keep your life, otherwise, you will definitely not leave this Imperial City alive!”

It was normal for him to have such thoughts. Under Zhao Huiying’s protection, the Zhao Family was definitely one of the few large Families in the entire Imperial City.

Whether it was the identity of the Grand Manager or the Aura of a Late Stage Void Tempering expert, it was enough for others to hold their Family in high regard.

It was precisely because of this that the Zhao Family became increasingly arrogant, and why such a profligate Young Master was raised.

Ye Bufan thought for a moment and said, “Since that’s the case, then you can call him over!”

“You won’t shed tears until you see the coffin. Young man, when my grand-uncle sees that you’ve beaten me like this, you’ll be in big trouble then.”

Zhao Lin said as he pulled out a communication jade slip, crying out miserably, “Grand-uncle, quick, save me! I’m about to be beaten to death!”

This fellow was the sole heir of the entire Zhao Family, and Zhao Huiying himself was unable to have children, so he treated him like his own son, even more dotingly.

In the past, if he encountered any intractable situations, as long as he brought out this grand-uncle, all problems would be solved easily.

This time, he also thought the same. Being made to kneel in front of so many people was equivalent to slapping the Zhao Family’s face.

According to Zhao Huiying’s temper, after he arrived, there would certainly be a storm-like retaliation.

This pale-faced Young man, an outsider with no background, would surely not survive.

Not only him, but the Young Master behind him also had the same thought, looking at Ye Bufan as if he were looking at a dead man.

Zhao Lin put away the communication jade slip and glared fiercely at Ye Bufan, “Young man, if you have the guts, wait here and don’t leave.”

“You two are truly close cousins, even your methods of showing off are the same.”

Ye Bufan smiled slightly, “I’ll wait right here. There’s one thing I want to tell you: sometimes, outsiders also have a background.”

“Hmph! Just you wait. When my grand-uncle arrives, any background you have will be trampled underfoot!”

Zhao Lin was full of disdain. In his eyes, besides the Emperor, his grand-uncle was the most powerful, and even those princes and nobles had to be polite to him.

At this moment, in a bathroom within the Imperial Palace, a stream of cold water poured down from above, splashing onto a perfect Physical Body.

This person was none other than Zhao Huiying, who had just taken the Heaven Mending Pill. His damaged body had now been repaired, and he was no longer an eunuch.

Although he was over a hundred years old, for a Void Tempering Realm expert, this age could only be considered middle-aged, not old.

He wiped the water droplets from his body and came to a huge bronze mirror, looking at his long-lost second brother who had returned, tears flowing uncontrollably.

For a man, it did not only mean the completeness of the Physical Body, but also represented a man’s dignity.

In other words, with it, you are called a man; without it, you can only be called a eunuch.

Back then, driven by the necessities of life, in order to survive with his younger brother, he was forced to enter the palace.

For so many years, the wound in his heart had never healed. He could only distract himself by desperately Cultivating.

But even as his Cultivation became higher and higher, reaching the Late Stage Void Tempering Realm, he still regretted not being a complete man.

He never expected Heaven to favor him, suddenly sending him a Divine Doctor today, repairing the long-standing defect.

Wiping away his tears, he took a deep breath to adjust his mood. Zhao Huiying murmured, “This Little Divine Doctor’s Medical skill is truly Heaven-Defying and divine. It seems I should foster a good relationship with him in the future. Who knows when he might be useful again.”

And just then, his mind stirred, and the communication jade slip reacted.

When Zhao Lin’s cry came from his mind, Zhao Huiying couldn’t help but frown slightly.

At this moment, he realized that his attitude towards this nephew had changed. Previously, because this was the only heir of the Zhao Family, he doted on him endlessly.

But in this instant, he felt that much of his doting had suddenly lessened. Instead, he felt that this nephew had too many flaws, was too profligate, and was not capable of achieving great things.

In fact, people’s mindsets change. He was an eunuch before, destined to have no children in this life, so he poured all his emotions into his nephew.

But now it was different. He had become a normal man and could have his own children, no longer needing to place his emotions on someone else’s son.

These were all subconscious changes. Perhaps he hadn’t realized it yet, but there was already a reaction within his heart.

But no matter what, Zhao Lin was ultimately his nephew, and he could not ignore a matter concerning the Zhao Family’s face.

He grabbed a robe and put it on, then instantly disappeared from the room.

On Ye Bufan’s side, the crowd around him grew larger and larger. These people dared not approach, only watching from afar.

Zhao Lin was still kneeling there, occasionally looking towards the other end of the long street, hoping for his grand-uncle to arrive quickly.

Others were also like this, all knowing that this Young man had provoked the Zhao Family, and wanted to see how he would respond when the Grand Manager arrived.

Under countless gazes, a figure suddenly appeared at the end of the long street, then walked over.

Although only one person came, his entire being exuded an incomparably powerful Aura. One person was enough to contend against a thousand troops.

In fact, reaching the Void Tempering Realm, every move can stir the power of heaven and earth, far beyond what ordinary people can compare to.

When Zhao Huiying arrived, others didn’t notice, but he immediately saw Zhao Lin kneeling there, and his expression instantly turned cold, an boundless killing intent emanating from his entire being.

Everyone knew that he was the Zhao Family’s backing. Making Zhao Lin kneel here was equivalent to directly slapping his face.

At the same time, Zhao Lin also saw him and immediately yelled at the top of his lungs, “Grand-uncle, quick, save me!

Kill this bastard and avenge me!”
