Acai's Sky

Chapter 598 Midu Immortal Realm 51

At this time, the head of the Zhao family slowly walked out of the study.

He glanced expressionlessly at Pighead Three lying in a pool of blood, a barely perceptible hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and then he nodded slightly.

"Humph, it looks like this guy has at least several broken ribs." Patriarch Zhao snorted coldly, turned around and shouted behind him, "Someone come!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a burly guard immediately stepped forward, respectfully saluted the head of the Zhao family, and then stood quietly aside, waiting for his master's instructions.

"Everyone who followed this kid to Xiangqian Village to cause trouble today will have three ribs broken and one leg crippled, and then they will be dragged to Xiangqian Village to make amends and apologize." The head of the Zhao family gave the order coldly.

After saying this, the flames of anger in Patriarch Zhao's heart didn't seem to be quelled by the punch just now, but instead burned even more fiercely.

I saw him staring with eyes wide open, his face flushed red, veins bulging on his forehead, like a bunch of hideous earthworms wriggling.

Then, he kicked out again, this kick was filled with endless anger and strength, and it kicked straight towards Zhutou San's body like a cannonball.

There was a dull "bang" sound, and Pighead Three fell heavily to the ground like a flying sandbag.

It was accompanied by a scream so miserable that it seemed to pierce one's eardrums - the sound was truly like the scream of a pig being slaughtered.

His body rolled several times on the hard ground before he barely stopped and lay there in a miserable state.

"You are a bunch of ignorant, ignorant people! How dare you run outside and cause trouble!"

The Zhao family leader was furious and started cursing at the people on the ground.

"Especially you, this pig-headed guy, you're just a natural at courting death!"

While the head of the Zhao family was scolding, he slammed the table beside him with his hands, shaking the teacups on the table so much that they jumped up.

"You even dare to provoke those foreign monks?

Are you still dreaming of getting any benefits from others?

snort!

You are so stupid, so foolish!"

At this moment, the so-called Mr. Zhao, who was usually arrogant and domineering - also known as Pighead Three.

I was already frightened out of my wits, trembling all over like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind.

His fat face was full of fear, beads of sweat the size of beans kept sliding down his forehead, and his eyes were filled with deep regret and unspeakable fear.

In the past, he relied on the power of his family to act tyrannically and domineeringly, but now in front of the head of the family, he instantly turned into a docile sheep, even more humble and pitiful than a sheep.

The Zhao family head said viciously, "Our Zhao family does not need this kind of trash who can only cause trouble and cannot bring any benefits to the family!

From now on, if you dare to set foot in the Zhao family again, I will tear out your tendons and bones, leaving you with neither life nor death!"

He slowly returned to the study and his gaze fell on Elder Zhao Qiu again, with a hint of inquiry and dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"Are you coveting the position of patriarch?" His voice was low and majestic, as if it could penetrate people's souls.

Zhao Qiu raised his head, looked at him, and then quickly lowered his head, not daring to confront him for a long time.

However, the silence did not last long, and he immediately sneered disdainfully:

"Well, it's good to have ideas.

But unfortunately, you have ambition but no real talent or knowledge, and you allow your good-for-nothing subordinates to cause trouble everywhere.

With such ability, you still dream of ascending the throne of the patriarch?

It's just a foolish dream!"

After saying that, he stood up suddenly and strode towards Zhao Qiu.

Every step brought with it invisible pressure, causing Zhao Qiu to retreat involuntarily.

When he got closer, he looked down at Zhao Qiu from a superior position, his eyes full of contempt.

"Look at what you've done over the years!

You've almost completely destroyed the clan's prestige.

Even if you are lucky enough to become the clan leader one day, can you still rebuild the lost prestige?

Stop wishful thinking! "

His words were like a sharp sword, piercing Zhao Qiu's heart.

"Besides, you are so selfish, have you never reflected on why you haven't made any progress in your cultivation over the years?

He only cared about pursuing personal gain all day long, allowing his sons and nephews to do whatever they wanted, completely disregarding the interests and reputation of the family.

How can someone like you who has no ambition be worthy of the position of clan leader?"

A series of questions came at Zhao Qiu like a storm, making it difficult for him to cope.

Finally, under the fierce attack of the patriarch, Zhao Qiu could no longer suppress his inner anger and unwillingness, and his emotions burst out in an instant.

"That's right, I just want to be the clan leader! Why can Third Brother do it but I can't?"

His face flushed, his eyes widened, and he shouted loudly.

Hearing this, the clan leader was slightly startled, then sneered:

"Haha, what an ignorant fellow!

Not to mention that your ability is far inferior, your reputation has long been notorious.

If it weren't for your various misdeeds, you might still have a chance to take the position of patriarch.

As for selfishness, who doesn’t have it?

But at least I'm not as unscrupulous and greedy as you!

When resources were allocated, did you ever see me taking even a fraction more? "

...

The night sky is dotted with stars, and the moonlight falls on the roof like water.

Ah Cai hugged the gold ingot tightly, curled up and squatted there quietly.

She would open her mouth wide and yawn softly from time to time, muttering to herself, "Oh, this is so boring! These guys are no match for the Zhao family leader. They are not enough for him to play with alone!"

Ah Cai shook her head helplessly, thinking to herself, "This Zhao Qiu is truly stupid! Can't he see that the Zhao family leader is clearly using us outsiders to punish the people within his own family!"

At this time, Jin Yuanbao in his arms seemed to sense his master's annoyance. He stretched out his little claws and gently rubbed Ah Cai's arm, saying in a baby voice:

"Master, let's go back to sleep!

There is really no fun here. We have become other people's pawns without realizing it!

Just thinking about it makes me feel so aggrieved. My little darling is almost pissed off to the point of having a lung ache!"

Acai picked up the gold ingot and turned away.

"I don't know how long Patriarch Zhao has been wanting to deal with them. They are all ignorant of their own lives."

...

With a depressed look on his face, Ah Cai led his animals, which were once lively but now listless, and slowly walked towards Xiangqian Village.

With every step, the animals seemed to drag their feet, their heads drooping almost to the ground, completely losing their former vitality and spirit.

Tong Jiayuan, who was standing aside and witnessing all this, tried hard to suppress his laughter and not laugh out loud.

He looked at the animals who followed their master and all looked depressed, and couldn't help thinking to himself: Looking at them like this, it's obvious that this operation didn't achieve the expected goal!

Tong Jiayuan was very familiar with this familiar scene.

After all, he was well aware of the responsibilities and pressures that a family patriarch had to bear.

So, he said earnestly, "This is how a true family patriarch should behave.

How could they be like those clan leaders described in novels, who act recklessly and wantonly all day long, as if under a spell?

After saying this, he gently patted Ah Cai and the other beasts on the shoulders and continued to comfort them, "Don't be discouraged. There will be many times in the future when we will need your help. There are plenty of opportunities!"

...

The next day.

The second elder of the Zhao family led a group of disabled people slowly into Xiangqian Village with a solemn expression on his face.

They looked somewhat dejected and embarrassed, but everyone's face revealed a sense of sincerity and apology.

When this group of uninvited guests appeared in front of the villagers, the originally noisy village suddenly became quiet, and everyone cast puzzled and vigilant glances at them.

The second elder of the Zhao family bowed deeply, and then said in a slightly hoarse voice:

"Dear fellow villagers, on behalf of the Zhao family, I come here to apologize to you all!

We, the Zhao family, have offended your village a lot recently, and we are extremely ashamed!

Today we have brought some small gifts to show our sincerity."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the followers behind him immediately brought up boxes and bags full of grain.

Then, the second elder of the Zhao family personally distributed each bag of food to the villagers and bowed again to apologize:

"Here are ten bags of food for each villager. I hope this can make up for the mistakes we made earlier. Please accept them."

At this time, Senior Sister Feng stood in the crowd with her hands holding the sword, and she watched everything happening in front of her quietly.

The second elder of the Zhao family was struggling to drag a man who was beaten into a pig's head. It was the guy called "Mr. Zhao".

At this moment, Master Zhao lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the angry eyes around him.

The second elder of the Zhao family dragged Pighead Three and went door to door to knock on the doors and apologize.

Every time he arrived at the door of a house, he would stop and ask Mr. Zhao to bow deeply, while constantly muttering words of apology.

Feng Xingtong, who was standing by and watching, couldn't help but move closer to Senior Sister Feng and asked curiously in a low voice, "Senior Sister, do you think the Zhao family's Patriarch used this trick to win people's hearts?"

Senior Sister Feng frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then replied, "Perhaps. Regardless, the Zhao family did show great sincerity this time. However... whether there's something else going on here requires further observation."

Wu Xinghe wiped his sword and said, "Just now, the head of the Tong family said that they did this to show us outsiders."

"On the other hand, this is for the Ou family to see. This village is the Ou family's sphere of influence." He thought for a moment and continued.
