Son, Put Your Father To The Test - Chapter 39

Chapter 39: The Art of Stirring up Trouble

Translator: Zayn_

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

Qin Chuan and his son had a very peaceful and smooth life in the Seven Martial Sect. There were no unexpected conflicts.

Of course, Qin Chuan knew that with his son’s temperament, it was only a matter of time before he stirred up trouble.

Now that nothing had happened, it was probably because of his status as an elder that most of the trouble had been eliminated.

After all, under normal circumstances, the initial conflict happened to the main character because he had no background and was provoked and ridiculed by the small villains.

Then, he would slap their faces and the conflict would escalate.

And now, his cheap son had an elder for a father, so those small villains naturally didn’t have a chance to show off.

However…

The Son of Heaven was born with a constitution that could attract hatred. Now that nothing had happened, it didn’t mean that the cheap son had a good interpersonal relationship in the sect.

Perhaps many people already hated his son, but they weren’t angry enough to explode.

Then, why not let his son take the initiative to provoke the strong?

For example, insulting the elders, provoking the sect master, throwing stones at the Grand Elder, and untying his pants to water the statue of the patriarch[1]…

Because it didn’t work like that!

First, his cheap son had his own standards of judgment and wouldn’t do such an obvious and unreasonable thing. If he forced his son to do it, it would probably lower his image in his son’s heart.

Second, if his son took the initiative to cause trouble, then he wouldn’t be able to gain the upper hand. After causing public anger, the old monster of the sect would suppress him!

The system wouldn’t work either.

If the other party targeted his son, he would become stronger. But if the other party didn’t target his son and directly judged him?

As the saying went, if the son didn’t learn well, the father would be at fault.

Just like how your child stole Uncle Wang’s fruit next door. If the other party directly hit your child, of course you could say, “He’s still just a child” and then your battle prowess would soar, and you could angrily rebuke Uncle Wang next door.

But the problem was…

It was unlikely that Uncle Wang next door would hit your kid. Instead, he would catch your kid red-handed, bring him to you, and ask you to pay for it.

What would you do?

Could you still lash out at him?

Of course not, because you were in the wrong!

Think about that scene.

Qin Zi was escorted to him by a few elders, and then the Grand Elder at the Heaven realm questioned him, ‘Why did you teach your son to be so unreasonable?’

How was he going to answer?

If he didn’t admit it and said that his son did this on his own and had nothing to do with him, his image in his son’s heart would completely collapse.

If he used the aura that an invincible expert should have and said domineeringly, “I, Qin, don’t need to explain anything to you in my life.” He would probably be beaten to sh*t on the spot, and that would be even worse!

In conclusion.

Even if he were to cause trouble, he couldn’t take the initiative to cause trouble, and he couldn’t act too unsightly. Instead, he had to follow the principle of passively causing trouble.

Whether it was fishing for law enforcement or deliberately luring someone, in short, he had to let the antagonist provoke his son first and make the first move!

This was because only in this way could he be in an invincible position in terms of ‘morality’, and he wouldn’t be rendered speechless by others.

In this world, there weren’t many reasons, but most people liked to be ‘reasonable’.

The point was… to be reasonable.

It didn’t matter what the truth was. As long as you refuted the other party’s words with reason and confidence, then you were reasonable!

“Elder Qin, something bad has happened. Qin Zi has caused trouble!”

At this moment, an anxious voice sounded. Qin Chuan turned his head and saw a tall and sturdy young man who was panting heavily.

Qin Chuan remembered that this was Qin Zi’s new friend in the sect. He was the grandson of an elder and was called Niu Mang.

“What’s the matter?”

Qin Chuan asked calmly.

“Elder Qin, Qin Zi… broke a few ribs of Elder Wu’s grandson, Wu Xiu. It seems that… his dantian is gone!”

Niu Mang said anxiously.

“Why are they fighting?”

Qin Chuan was as steady as an old dog.

“It seems that Wu Xiu’s lackey wanted to make things difficult for a brother and sister who just joined the sect. He was taught a lesson by Qin Zi.”

“After Wu Xiu heard about it, he came to Qin Zi to ask for an explanation. It seems that he wanted Qin Zi to apologize. Then, Qin Zi scolded Wu Xiu on the spot for not disciplining his lackey properly, and the two of them got into a fight…”

Niu Mang said carefully.

Qin Chuan nodded his head in relief when he heard that. As expected of the Son of Heaven, he always stood at the moral high ground every time he got into trouble!

The Son of Heaven was just like that.

As long as the starting point is based on upholding justice, then no matter how you want to play later, I will accompany you to the end!

In the end, the enemy would be uprooted and their family would be wiped out. The audience would even clap and cheer because… they were doing it for the welfare of the people.

But in fact, many people took the opportunity to throw a tantrum and vented their violence under the guise of justice.

Wasn’t that how cyber violence came about?

Some people who were dark and depressed usually had nowhere to vent. Therefore, as long as they heard any news on the Internet, they would seize the opportunity to vent their anger and try to make the other party never recover.

In the end, because of an unknown truth, they forced the other party to jump off a building and commit suicide. After that, they even felt that they were very righteous…

“Human nature is so ugly.”

“I’m also so ugly.”

Qin Chuan laughed self-deprecatingly. Then, he stood up and said, “Where are they? Take me there.”

“Follow me!”

Niu Mang turned around and ran out.

…

In the Mission Square.

A large group of people were watching, but they didn’t dare to approach. They all stood at the edge of the square, forming a large circle.

And in the middle of the square, there were two figures.

One of them was a handsome young man who was curled up on the ground, clutching his stomach. His face was pale, and bean-sized sweatdrops kept sliding down his forehead. However, he gritted his teeth, not letting himself scream.

The other young man was Qin Zi, who was standing not too far away. He seemed to be at a loss.

He did not expect that he would become so powerful after cultivating for half a month. The moment he exerted his strength, he was unable to stop himself.

At this moment, he was caught in a dilemma.

He could not run away, because not only would he appear weak, he would also appear to be fleeing in fear of punishment. It was not advisable.

However, waiting here like this was also a form of torture. That was because the other party’s parents were about to arrive.

He had beaten the other party up to such a state. How was he going to explain himself when the elders arrived?

To be fair, his attack this time was really a little too heavy. Therefore, he felt that he was in the wrong.

Once a person was in the wrong, even if he was facing an old man who did not have the strength to truss a chicken, he would still feel afraid in his heart.

“Xiu’er!”

At this moment, an aged voice sounded, and the surrounding crowd instantly opened up a path.

An old man dressed in a luxurious long robe walked over in a hurry. He squatted down and supported the young man’s head onto his knees.

“Grandfather…”

Wu Xiu loosened his tightly clenched teeth, and his voice trembled slightly. It was as if his words had pulled on his broken ribs, and he let out another miserable cry.

“Quick, eat this grade-three Bone Strengthening Pill.”

Elder Wu took out a milky-white pill and stuffed it into his grandson’s mouth without any explanation.

After Wu Xiu swallowed the medicinal pill, his face suddenly flushed red and his body began to convulse crazily like an epileptic.

“Pah Pah Pah!”

An intense and hurried sound came from his chest, as if his broken ribs were being rapidly restored.

After a long while, he finally stopped convulsing and lay on the ground exhausted. He was panting heavily, and his eyes were a little hollow…

Seeing this, Elder Wu heaved a sigh of relief.

No matter what, his life was finally saved!

Then, he laid his grandson flat on the ground, turned his head to look at Qin Zi and slowly stood up.

His slightly wrinkled face gradually darkened, and he asked coldly, “How do you explain this matter?”

Whoosh!

Qin Zi’s body instantly tensed up under this gaze, and every pore seemed to be pricked by needles.

“I… I didn’t do it on purpose.”

Qin Zi said weakly.

Even if his father was an invincible powerhouse, he still did not have enough confidence. After all… he had blown up his opponent’s dantian!

“Destroying someone’s dantian, destroying their future… Do you think just an apology is enough?”

Elder Wu said coldly.

“Then… What do you want?”

Qin Zi braced himself and asked.

“Hmph, an eye for an eye!”

Elder Wu’s eyes shot out a sharp and cold glare. He raised his skinny right hand and pointed at Qin Zi’s abdomen!

Xiu!

A cold light whistled out at an extreme speed. The power of that sharp light was simply invincible.

If he was hit, his dantian would be destroyed!
