The Crazy Son-In-Law

“Dad…”

Ye Jisheng covered his swollen cheek in disbelief, looking at his father, Ye Nantian.

From childhood to adulthood, this was the first time his father had ever hit him!

Ye Nantian completely ignored the sorrowful look in his son’s eyes and angrily shouted, “Kneel down!”

“Plump!”

On his knees, Ye Jisheng obediently followed the command without any dissatisfaction.

“I told you to kneel down and apologize to Mr. Xiao, not to me!” Ye Nantian said furiously, pointing to Xiao Shun not far away.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jisheng was dumbfounded.

What’s going on? Father actually wants me to kneel to a bodyguard!

With this thought, he couldn’t help but be enraged, “Dad, why should I apologize to a bodyguard? Is he even worthy of it?”

“Slap!”

The crisp sound of a slap resounded in the villa’s living room once again, and Ye Jisheng’s other cheek also swelled up red this time.

Retracting his hand, Ye Jisheng glared fiercely at his son.

“You’ve been acting recklessly and arrogant, becoming more and more disrespectful. Mr. Xiao has become a ‘nobody master’ in your eyes?” Ye Nantian scolded.

Despite feeling embarrassed, Ye Jisheng continued to argue, showing no improvement in his intelligence.

“Just a nobody master, Dad, you are the branch head of the Old School Society. Why should I be afraid of him? I’m your son!”

Xiao Shun, on the side, couldn’t help but find it amusing. Ye Jisheng was truly displaying his incompetence to the fullest, making him wonder if he was ignorant or just plain foolish.

As the esteemed branch head of the Old School Society, Ye Nantian was at a loss with his son and had to quickly walk over to Xiao Shun, bowing and apologizing.

“Mr. Xiao, I’m truly sorry. My son is ignorant of the Old School Society’s affairs besides indulging in debauchery. His disrespect towards you was uncalled for, and I apologize on his behalf as a father!” Ye Nantian apologized.

While apologizing, he also sneakily glanced at Cao Wanqing sitting on the sofa.

Seeing her composed demeanor, except for some wrinkles in her clothes, put his mind slightly at ease.

Glancing at the respectfully behaving Ye Nantian, Xiao Shun calmly said, “The young master needs better discipline. I’ll let it go this time, but there won’t be a next time!”

He didn’t plan on letting Ye Jisheng off lightly, as a dandy like him needed a lesson to learn from. However, considering the conditions set by Ye Nantian earlier, Xiao Shun decided to forgive Ye Jisheng for now, but this was a one-time grace.

Ye Nantian was relieved at Xiao Shun’s warning and immediately set an example, “Mr. Xiao, rest assured, I will discipline this unfilial son when we return home. If he dares to disrespect you in the future, I will bring him to apologize in person!”

“Alright.” Xiao Shun nodded, then turned his attention to Ye Nantian, “Regarding what Mr. Ye said in the meeting room earlier, I wonder…”

Upon hearing this, Ye Nantian’s relaxed expression stiffened, and he became troubled once again.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

His words in the Old School Society meeting room were spoken in haste to save his son. But now, faced with making a decision, Ye Nantian hesitated.

In his view, though the New School Society was currently strong, there was still a significant gap compared to the Old School Society.

Not to mention other factors, just in terms of scale, there was a noticeable difference between the two societies!

The New School Society only held control over the cities of Harrow and Northleap, while the Old School Society controlled over seventy percent of cultivators in Wradeogon!

Seeing Ye Nantian indecisive, Xiao Shun smiled faintly.

“Mr. Ye, I value integrity. I believe you should understand that from your son’s current situation.”

His words carried a profound meaning, and as someone who had roamed the Jianghu for decades, Ye Nantian could easily detect Xiao Shun’s veiled threat.

Realizing this, Ye Nantian looked at the Old School Society men still kneeling and ordered, “Take this disobedient one away!”

“Yes, branch head!”

Yan and the others nodded in agreement and then escorted the reluctant Ye Jisheng out of the villa.

As he was being carried away, Ye Jisheng struggled vehemently, shouting, “Let me go! My dad must have been deceived by that bastard. Why should I apologize to just a bodyguard?”

“I’ll kill him, I’ll kill him!”

Seeing this, Yan advised, “Young Master Ye, you can’t act rashly. That man is Xiao Shun, the leader of the New School Society. He wouldn’t hesitate to kill a branch head in front of the Old School Society’s high-ranked members!”

“What did you say?”

Ye Jisheng paused, his face displaying shock.

The reason for his reaction wasn’t Xiao Shun’s identity but rather an important realization.

To kill a branch head? Wasn’t his father also a branch head?

Finally calming down, Ye Jisheng felt a sense of relief in realizing that he hadn’t acted against Cao Wanqing earlier. Otherwise, he would have been in serious trouble.

With this thought, cold sweat broke out on Ye Jisheng’s forehead.

Seeing him no longer causing a commotion, Yan and the others quickened their pace to the garage.

At the same time, inside the villa, Xiao Shun and Ye Nantian faced each other. Cao Wanqing, due to the Cartilage Powder and her relaxed nerves after seeing Xiao Shun, had fallen into a deep sleep.

Seeing Cao Wanqing peacefully asleep, Xiao Shun shook his head helplessly and then took off his coat, draping it over her.

After a long silence, Ye Nantian eventually spoke up.

“Mr. Xiao, even though the New School Society is flourishing and can even compete with the Old School Society in some conflicts, please understand my predicament. Leading a city’s cultivators to defect from the Old School Society is not a simple matter.”

Nodding, Xiao Shun chuckled lightly.

“I understand your concerns. You’re worried about your personal safety and the security of your cultivation resources after joining the New School Society, right?”

“Mr. Xiao, your consideration is greatly appreciated!” Ye Nantian’s face relaxed.

“Actually, you’re wrong,” Xiao Shun shook his head playfully.

“I’m not showing you sympathy; I simply want to offer you an opportunity!”

“An opportunity?” Ye Nantian was puzzled. “What opportunity?”

“Since you’re concerned about my strength, I should give you a chance to see for yourself!” Xiao Shun smirked and sat upright, his gaze sharp. “Tell me about Nie Jiu Zhong’s whereabouts in Cliffside, and then you’ll know what kind of strength I possess!”
