It was all thanks to his timely appearance that he managed to stop his nephew!
Otherwise, he really did not dare to think of the consequences!
That earlier scene also let him, as a third party, have a taste of his nephewâs viciousness!
Mu Yazhe greeted him neutrally, âSecond uncle, why are you here?â
âCrazy! Simply outrageous! Have you gone mad? What were you trying to do just then?â
âNothing at all!â A derisive laugh vibrated from his throat. âSurely, itâs time now to settle some decade-long scores with a certain someone!â
âPreposterous!â
The latterâs reply exasperated Mu Linfeng. He suddenly paused mid-track of his words and surveyed his surroundings with a clear, warning look.
Naturally understanding that look, Min Yu immediately got rid of the people around and retreated himself.
There were only the three of them left in the corridor!
Now that there was no one else around, the older man glared sternly at his nephew. âNo nonsense! Yazhe, heâs your fourth uncleâyour elder! Is your action proper? No matter what he did wrong, heâs still your elder and what you did is simply disrespectful!â
The younger manâs face instantly turned cold. âWhat is it, second uncle? From your tone, I guess youâre trying get Fourth Mu exonerated!â
He rebuked, âFourth Mu? Is that the way you should be addressing him given his seniority over you? You should address him as fourth uncle; donât you forget your manners. Youâre simply being disrespectful here!â
âSecond uncle, youâre the one whoâs unqualified to meddle in our feud!â The man scoffed, not giving his uncle a bit of face or an out this time at all!
Mu Linfeng almost fainted in anger at his arrogant tone!
âDo you still have any respect for your elders?!â He seethed almost ungracefully. âRemember this: Heâs your senior! Regardless of his wrongdoings, you have no right to create havoc here; do you understand?!â
âSecond uncle, are you getting yourself involved in this matter?â
âI have no idea what youâre talking about! I wonât interfere with your actions, but you must get the seniority ranking clear! I donât wish to see a repeat of the earlier scene!â
A smirk appeared on his nephewâs face as he gave him a meaningful glance. âIt looks as if youâre bent on protecting him!â
His tone was somber and cold!
While he could not contain his anger, he noticed his nephewâs unfathomable gaze!
âSecond uncle, arenât you afraid that your actions will cause a dent in our relationship?â
With balled up fists, he took in a deep breath then said, âIf the family lives in harmony, all affairs will prosper!â
As soon as he spoke, a cold derisive laugh burst out from his nephew!
It was as if what he had just said was a big joke to him!
âHow ridiculous and sad your words are!â
The younger manâs eyes narrowed as he walked over to his uncle and leaned down slightly; his cold gaze landed on the latterâs face. âHarmony and prosperity, indeed!â
âYou...â
Out of the blue, he remarked, âIâm sure you know what happened a decade ago!â
His second uncleâs face changed in an instant but very quickly regained its usual calmness. His brows furrowed as he shot his brother a complex look.
