Chapter 4718
“Father, Kai beat me to this state—you have to avenge me!” Lin Kedong demanded.
“Revenge?” Lin Chong’s eyes blazed with anger. “Do you have no shame? You’re at the peak of the ninth level of the Mahayana Realm, and yet a cultivator at the second level managed to beat you until you spat blood. And you have the audacity to demand revenge?”
“Go to the Cliff of Regret and reflect on your actions. Aside from essential healing medicine, you’re banned from receiving any resources!”
Lin Kedong was stunned and shouted in protest. “Father, that’s not fair! It’s not fair—my little sister—”
“Take him away!” Lin Chong waved impatiently.
Lin Kefan stepped forward to escort Lin Kedong, but Kedong suddenly stood up and yelled, “Father! Fine, if you don’t want to avenge me for the beating, that’s one thing. But Kai insulted my mother—you can’t ignore that, can you?”
Lin Chong’s brows furrowed. “He insulted your mother? What did he say?”
“Kai is unbelievably arrogant! Not only did he beat me, but he also said he wanted to play with my mother. You can’t let that slide, can you?”
Boom!
Lin Chong’s fury erupted. The air around him trembled as he slammed his palm against the stone table, shattering it into dust.
“What audacity! How dare he utter such vile words?” Lin Chong’s face was red with rage, his voice trembling. “Kefan, take men with you and bring Kai to me immediately!”
“Father, about Kai—”
“Silence! I said bring him now!” Lin Chong’s eyes blazed, his expression fierce enough to spit fire.
Lin Kefan, sensing the gravity of the situation, dared not speak further and hurriedly left to carry out the order.
Lin Kedong grinned smugly. He was certain that Kai was doomed now.
Lin Chong was famous for his devotion to his wife. Blasphemous words directed at her? There was no way Lin Chong would let Kai walk away unscathed.
“Get out!” Lin Chong roared, his fury still burning.
Seeing Lin Kedong’s smug expression, Lin Chong roared in anger.
Lin Kedong’s body trembled, and with Lin Ruoya’s support, he hurriedly left the hall.
“Emperor Lin, please calm down. There may be some misunderstanding here,” Taoist Wuji said as he stepped forward from the back of the hall.
“Taoist, is this the kind of man you found for Ting’er? He has no manners whatsoever!” Lin Chong fumed. “He even… even dared to talk about playing with his mother-in-law! How can this be tolerated?”
His rage was so intense that he struggled to say it out loud.
“Emperor Lin, I believe that if Kai did say such a thing, it was likely a thoughtless slip of the tongue,” Taoist Wuji reasoned.
“I urge you to think carefully. Ting’er is deeply attached to Kai, thinking about him day and night. Please don’t make her suffer.”
Taoist Wuji hoped to prevent Lin Chong from making a rash decision and killing Kai outright.
Despite Kai’s impressive strength—strong enough to defeat a peak ninth-level Mahayana cultivator—he was still no match for Lin Chong. The Emperor of Sun Moon City could crush him effortlessly.
“Master, whether it was a misunderstanding or not, I’ll find out when the boy is brought here. But I won’t let him off easily. He needs to suffer some physical pain.”
“Talking about playing with someone else’s mother at such a young age—unacceptable! For Ting’er’s sake, I must teach him a lesson!”
Lin Chong’s determination was evident. Even if he didn’t kill Kai, a severe punishment was inevitable.
Taoist Wuji sighed and chose not to press further. As long as Kai’s life was spared, enduring some physical punishment was expected.
Now, Taoist Wuji’s primary hope was that Kai wouldn’t provoke Lin Kefan when they crossed paths.
If the two clashed, chaos would erupt, and any injuries would only deepen the misunderstanding.
“Stubborn boy, you’d better come quietly and keep your mouth shut,” Taoist Wuji muttered under his breath, silently hoping Kai wouldn’t aggravate the situation.
