Chapter 1024: Well Done

Editor: Henyee Translations

Xuan Dongsheng, considering the worst-case scenario, said, “Maybe you should just give him the money?”

Xuan Dongsi was silent for a moment. “No, giving in now means he will demand more later. We must not indulge him.”

Xuan Dongsheng, having witnessed Xuan Louze’s “great deeds,” knew his threats might not be mere jokes. “But what if he really hangs people at the mansion gate?”

Xuan Dongsi was confident. “He won’t. He’s just trying to intimidate us. Don’t worry, big brother. We must not give in, or his demands will grow.”

Xuan Dongsheng was still worried. “I have a feeling Xuan Louze won’t let this go.”

Xuan Dongsi, full of confidence, replied, “Don’t worry, big brother. I will handle this.”

He couldn’t believe Xuan Louze would do something so drastic. After all, he was still a member of the Xuan family.

…

At the Xuan family mansion’s gate, a crowd had gathered.

A banner beside the gate read, “These people were killed by me, Xuan Dongsi. They failed their mission, so I executed them all!”

“What kind of sin is this? How can they hang people at the gate like this?”

“The Xuan family is becoming more arrogant and lawless, treating human lives like dirt.”

“The ruler is still in power, and the Xuan family dares to use such brutal methods. This is too much!”

Xuan Dongsi rushed back upon hearing the news. Seeing the scene at the gate, he nearly fainted. He never expected Xuan Louze to actually do this.

Fuming, Xuan Dongsi shouted, “What are you looking at? Disperse immediately!”

The crowd, while cursing the Xuan family, began to scatter. The Xuan family’s reputation, once revered, had now turned to scorn within a single day, especially Xuan Dongsi, who was now viewed like filth.

In the study, the Xuan family head roared, “Xuan Dongsi, what is going on? Are you trying to ruin our family? Listen to what people are saying about us now!”

Xuan Dongsi tried to shift the blame to Xuan Louze. “Grandfather, we didn’t want this, but Xuan Louze is too wicked. He came back specifically to destroy us.”

The family head was exasperated. “As far as I know, you tried to kill him first, and this is his retaliation.”

Xuan Dongsi bowed his head, realizing he had underestimated Xuan Louze.

The family head was deeply disappointed in his descendants. “Can you all just be quiet for three days? After the succession ceremony, everything will be fine.”

Xuan Dongsi, quietly furious, responded, “Yes, Grandfather.” He vowed to himself that he would eliminate Xuan Louze.

The family head waved them away. “Think of a way to salvage this mess.”

“Yes, Grandfather.” Xuan Dongsi left the study and headed straight to the Fudong Courtyard. “Xuan Louze, come out!”

Xuan Louze emerged, and a sudden force sent Xuan Dongsi flying back. “What do you want?”

Xuan Dongsi crashed into a tree, causing it to shake violently. “You, you…”

Xuan Louze, showing no remorse despite his words, said, “Sorry, I accidentally let my internal force slip.”

Xuan Dongsi, trembling with anger, spat out blood. “Xuan Louze, you’re not human!”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Xuan Louze smiled mockingly. “If I’m not human, but you can understand my words, that makes you something else entirely.”

Xuan Dongsi realized Xuan Louze was calling him inhuman. “You…”

At that moment, a maid ran over. “Fifth Young Master, the Fifth Master invites you to dine with him.”

“Alright, I’m coming.” Xuan Louze wondered what scheme the Fifth Master had in mind. With little to gain at the Xuan family mansion, he was curious to find out.

Following the maid, Xuan Louze arrived at the Fifth Master’s courtyard. In the dining room, the Fifth Master, a young beauty, and several children were already eating happily.

Xuan Louze glanced around. “You’ve already started eating and just now decided to call me?”

“We’re calling you to eat; you should be grateful,” said Xuan Loufei.

The Fifth Master didn’t know how to react to Xuan Louze. “Since you’re here, sit and eat.”

Xuan Louze sat down and said blandly, “You’ve already eaten. Have them prepare something fresh.”

The Fifth Master slammed his chopsticks on the table, causing the dishes to rattle. “Eat or don’t eat, your choice!”

Xuan Louze calmly placed his hand on the table, stood up, and left.

As he walked away, the table shattered, dishes and food scattering to the floor.

The Fifth Master, now filled with murderous intent, shouted, “Xuan Louze, stop right there!”

Xuan Louze flew away, vanishing in the blink of an eye, leaving the Fifth Master clutching his chest in anger.

Xuan Loufei gritted her teeth. “Father, you must do something about Xuan Louze. He is too out of control!”

The Fifth Master, feeling helpless, said, “If you have any methods, use them. Teach your brother a lesson. He needs to know his place.”

Xuan Loufei’s face turned sinister. “Yes, Father.”

She chased after Xuan Louze, following him to the Fudong Courtyard. “Xuan Louze, come out! As the eldest sister, I must teach you some respect.”

Xuan Louze couldn’t be bothered with these people. He cast a spell, sealing the room to block any sound from entering.

Xuan Loufei shouted until she was hoarse but heard no response. She tried to open the door, but it wouldn’t budge. Frustrated and out of options, she yelled, “Xuan Louze, stay in there like a coward!”

As she was about to leave, Zeng Huo came out and slapped her thirty times, turning her once-pretty face into a swollen mess. “This is what you get for insulting the master!”

Xuan Louze, sensing this through his spiritual awareness, thought, “Well done.” Xuan Loufei’s face was now unrecognizable.

Zeng Huo then held up a mirror to show Xuan Loufei.

Seeing her reflection, she screamed, “A ghost!” and ran away.

Xuan Louze watched her flee in terror, unable to suppress a smile.

Just then, three maids entered the courtyard with food. “Fifth Young Master, the eldest son of the third branch ordered us to bring you this.”

“Come in,” came Xuan Louze’s voice from inside.

Zeng Huo opened the door, letting the maids in. “Put the food down and leave.”

“Yes,” the maids, having seen Xuan Loufei’s condition, dared not linger. They quickly set the table and fled in haste.
