"Master Luo!"
Zhou Zhishan stood with his hands behind his back and shouted.
"Yes, master, I am here."
Master Luo replied respectfully, slightly bowing his shoulders.
"This kid can fight, you go and teach this arrogant dog a lesson!"
Zhou Zhishan pointed at Chen Xiao and said with a frown.
Master Luo asked, "Master, how should I teach him?"
Zhou Zhishan said sternly without thinking, "Beat him until he begs for mercy. If he doesn't kneel, take his dog life!"
"Yes, master."
Master Luo responded meekly, then took a step towards Chen Xiao.
However, when he spoke, he addressed Li Ziqing.
"Miss Li, before I kill your man, this old servant needs to say a few words to you."
"I must say, you are truly ungrateful. Back then, when you were being hunted by the five great families of the imperial city, it was Master who asked me to intervene, forcing them to show you leniency and stop their pursuit. Why are you repaying kindness with enmity today?"
His words were intended to put him on a moral high ground and condemn Li Ziqing.
Secondly, it demonstrated his strength; being able to force the five great families of the imperial city to do anything was enough to prove his capabilities.
He had intended to intimidate Chen Xiao with this, but to his surprise, Chen Xiao showed no reaction.
This was because he didn't know that Zhou Yuanyuan had already told Chen Xiao about this matter.
Upon hearing his words, Li Ziqing snorted disdainfully, "For me? He wished the five great families would join forces to kill me. What he asked you to do was merely for his own self-preservation, what does it have to do with me? Stop trying to morally blackmail me with such things!"
"Alright."
His little trick exposed, Master Luo was not angry. He simply looked at Chen Xiao and said calmly, "Young man, you can beg for mercy now! To avoid suffering physical pain!"
Chen Xiao sneered, "I, Chen Xiao, kneel only to heaven, to the earth, and in between, to my parents. Zhou Zhishan is merely a common man, what right does he have to make me kneel?"
"Presumptuous! To call him an old man repeatedly, is that how you should speak?"
Master Luo said angrily, "Since you refuse a toast and insist on a fine, then don't blame this old servant for being ruthless!"
As he spoke, a palpable killing intent emanated from Master Luo, and the surrounding temperature dropped several degrees.
"Wait, Uncle Luo, let me talk to him!"
Zhou Yuanyuan suddenly stepped forward and said to Chen Xiao, "Chen Xiao, don't be ungrateful. What's wrong with kneeling for a moment? What time is it? Is life more important or face more important?"
Chen Xiao sighed and said indifferently, "Aunt, I advise you not to meddle. In the Zhou family, you are considered a good person, but unfortunately, you cannot distinguish right from wrong..."
"I'm meddling?"
Zhou Yuanyuan was so angry she didn't know what to say.
"Little aunt, he doesn't appreciate your kindness, why are you still advising him?"
At this moment, Zhou Tai said sarcastically, "If you ask me, killing this kid is too good for him. It's best to castrate him and see what Li Ziqing will do then, whether she'll leave him?"
"If she leaves him, then he'll know how stupid he is. If she doesn't leave him, then Li Ziqing will only have to live as a widow for a lifetime. This is much more interesting than killing him!"
Zhou Tai said maliciously.
Hearing this, Chen Xiao's eyes lit up, "This is indeed a good idea."
Saying that, he picked up a peanut from the nearby table and threw it at Zhou Tai with lightning speed.
The peanut, thrown by Chen Xiao, shot towards Zhou Tai like a bullet, hitting him precisely in the crotch...
"Ah, damn it..."
Zhou Tai clutched his crotch and let out a painful groan.
"What's wrong, Tai'er?"
Zhou Zhishan and Zhou Xingguo asked almost in unison, the same anxiety etched on their faces.
Zhou Tai looked down and his face turned ashen.
"It's ruined, blown to pieces..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Tai collapsed to the ground, whether from anger or pain was unclear.
It was evident that Zhou Tai had been crippled, and Zhou Zhishan, who had always doted on him, was immediately enraged.
He pointed at Chen Xiao and ordered, "Master Luo, kill him for me, now, immediately!"
"Yes, master!"
Master Luo took a step forward, his face contorted with ferocity, "Brat, prepare to die!"
Chen Xiao sneered, "You've been dawdling for so long, why don't you make a move!"
"Die for me!"
Master Luo shouted, but at this moment, a roar suddenly came from the entrance of the banquet hall.
"Hold on, you stop!"
This roar was full of energy and extremely penetrating, as if it echoed directly in everyone's minds, making their heads buzz.
And with this roar, a person with a broad, round face, covered in dirt all over, looking like a beggar, appeared in everyone's sight.
Upon seeing this person, Master Luo's expression froze.
It's him... How did he find his way here?
Chen Xiao and Li Ziqing recognized this person immediately as the great fool, Lu Datou!
"What beggar is this? Do you know what kind of place this is? Get out!"
Zhou Fan shouted angrily. She had been eagerly waiting for Master Luo to kill Chen Xiao, but some beggar had disturbed her enjoyment.
As if still not appeased, she shouted again, "Security! Quickly escort this beggar out, he stinks..."
*Slap—*
Before she could finish speaking, she was suddenly slapped.
Looking up, she saw that the person who hit her was the 'beggar' she had just spoken of.
At this sight, everyone was astonished.
Because the beggar had been at the entrance of the hall just moments ago, more than twenty meters away from Zhou Fan. Yet, he had moved as if he could teleport, arriving in front of Zhou Fan in just a few steps.
Was this a human or a ghost?
"You girl, it's bad enough that you're ugly, but your mouth is also so foul. Be careful you don't get married!"
The 'beggar' said with disgust.
And his words had touched Zhou Fan's sore spot. She was over thirty and still unmarried, not because she was ugly but because she was troublesome and couldn't get married!
As a result, Zhou Fan forgot her shock and fear and lunged at him with bared teeth and claws.
"Good! You beggar, how dare you curse your Auntie! I'll scratch you to death!"
The 'beggar' didn't bother to entangle with her and slapped her away.
Zhou Fan's bulky body, like a kite with a broken string, crashed to the ground with a bang, unconscious and her fate unknown.
Zhou Zhishan's eyes sharpened, and he rebuked, "Who are you? Coming uninvited and causing trouble at my birthday banquet, who sent you?"
"Who sent me? Hahahaha—"
The 'beggar' laughed to the sky, "In my life, Lu Datou, I have acted as I pleased. The person who can command me is probably not born yet!"
