While Jun Mo Xie was chatting with Chu Yue'er, the trap that he laid for the Li family with the Jade Coral came to fruition.Ā
Jun Mo Xie certainly didn't anticipate that the mixture of his Spiritual Energy and the pure energy of this word would trigger a formidable explosive reaction.
That explosion utterly severed Grand Preceptor Li's hope to restore his Xuan Qi. Not only that, the damage to Li Shang's already feeble body was like adding hail to snow such that he was almost at death's door!
Now except for Jun Mo Xie himself, there was no one who could help restore Li Shang's dantian!Ā
Not only that, the explosion caused damage to Li Youran too. His once handsome and confident face was now covered with seven or eight scars! But these seven or eight scars had completely disfigured his face!
If Li Youran had not instantly reacted by closing his eyes, perhaps he would have already become blind!
But even so, Li Youran would have to wear a veil for the rest of his life.
Even though the mood of the Li Family was very bad but it was nothing compared to the Dugu Family who was actually about to explode like a volcano!
Ever since Princess Ling Ming paid a visit, the Dugu Family was like a massive barrel of gunpowder that just detonated.
Dugu Xiao Yi was discreetly shuttled away under the arrangement of her grandmother.
Dugu Zongheng pointed at Dugu Wudi's face as he let loose a torrent of profanity for two entire hours, sporadically letting loose extremely angry kicks and punches.
Great General Dugu Wudi grimaced in pain but did not dare to resist as he continued to agree obsequiously; the anger in his heart was not any less than his father's.
"You're a pig!? You are a useless son of a bitch! Look at your daughter! Is this how you look after your daughter? HUH? Damned good for nothing! You downright pig!" Grandfather Dugu was infuriated. "I'm looking at a pig! But you're still better to look at than Jun Mo Xie! Fuck! How could it be that Jun Mo Xie? How could your eyes be so blind?"
Dugu Wudi's face was covered in spit, but he didn't dare to wipe if off. He stammered with some difficulty. "I also didn't know about this. If I had known earlier..."
This comment set off another round of howling wind and torrential rain.
"Ptui! You didn't know? You didn't even know this much, and you call yourself a father!" Grandfather Dugu almost went insane with anger. "That Jun Mo Xie is the capital's infamous debauchee; respectable people stay three days' march from him, and even notorious people stay clear of him! A daughter of a respectable household wanted to marry him? And she happens to be our family's, Xiao Yi?! Is the inside of your head stuffed with bean curd dregs or filled with water? Or do you just want to get your ass kicked?! Damn you for being a stupid and unbearable shit! Idiot! How did I, your brilliant father, raise you into a spoiled and rotten pig?!"
Dugu Wudi submissively endured the torrential rain of sputter and could not even open his eyes. "Father, please calm down. Xiao Yi's indiscretion had started just recently. We can assume that the relationship between the two hadn't made much headway. There is still time..."
His words thoroughly poked the hornet's nest.
Dugu Zongheng stood up in a fit of violent rage and let loose a flying kick that launched Dugu Wudi's tall and sturdy body into the air. He stomped his feet and let out a rain of curses.
"YOU! I can't believe the words that are coming out of your mouth! What do you even mean that they haven't made much headway? Do you want them to have made progress? Not too late? Does your daughter have to be pregnant for it to be too late? You don't think Jun Mo Xie that son of a bitch can make it happen?!"
The more he talked, the angrier he became.
Dugu Zongheng grabbed his son and beat him up!
His mother normally would have intervened long ago, but she actually stood to the side and hadn't made any indication to step in. Instead, she fanned the flames and said.
"You deserve this! How did this old woman give birth to such a dim-witted son??!"
Dugu Zongheng finally vented some of his anger after beating the living daylight out of his son. He said with a dark expression on his face. "We must put an end to this. Use this time that Xiao Yi is accompanying the princess in the palace and handle this affair in a satisfactory manner! If I hear something like this happen again, I'll kick the shit out of you! Why haven't you left yet? Do you want this old man to go personally?!"
A bloody-nosed, swollen-faced Great General Dugu Wudi hastily scrambled up off the ground, turned tail, and ran.
Once Dugu Wudi returned to his courtyard, it immediately devolved into panic and chaos. He first vented his frustrations by yelling at his wife and concubines before passing down an order: Dugu Ying, Dugu Xiong, Dugu Hao, Dugu Jie, Dugu Chong, Dugu Shang, and Dugu Qian are to return immediately from the army camps outside the city! There must be no delay! If they are even late half a step, then they will be punished by martial law, no,...family law!
Great General Dugu wanted to behead Jun Mo Xie!
That abominable little brat dared to seduce my daughter and caused I, your father, to suffer my father's outburst and abuse! Are you bored of life? You think I, your father, won't dare to move against you because of your grandfather? I won't be satisfied until I skin you alive just he beating I suffered today, not to mention teasing my baby Xiao Yi! Humph! Humph!
The seven men identified by Dugu Wudi were all precisely the younger generation of the Dugu family.
Dugu Zongheng had chosen their names such that the seven men's given names combined to mean "Heroes and legends bravely rushing forward"!
A very imposing name.
Dugu Zongheng had originally meant this to be the first line of a couplet, with the second line being "dragons, tigers, leopards, and wolves flying through the heavens!"
He had been waiting for his three sons to work hard to complete the couplet, but he didn't expect that after the birth of these seven grandsons, only one precious granddaughter, Dugu Xiao Yi, was born.
The old man decided to keep his hopes up, but alas, it was just not written in his fate.Ā
The greatly disappointed Dugu Zongheng had directed quite a few scowls, stare-downs, and curses at his three sons for failing to live up to expectations.
For this reason, his other two sons, Dugu Wushang and Dugu Wutong, were defending the Kingdom's southern and eastern borders and had made no plans to ever return; the direct result of the old man's abuse over the years.
