Young Master Liu was furious to the extreme. With another fierce slap, the burning pain made his overwhelming rage uncontrollable.
"You still dare to hit me? When did I insult your intelligence?"
Lin Xiaotian's response was even simpler.
"Slap!"
The slap landed, and Young Master Liu fell to the ground, his mind a mess, feeling like countless flies were buzzing in his head.
When his enraged, reddened eyes looked up, they met Lin Xiaotian's gaze. Upon seeing his icy eyes, he couldn't help but shiver.
The anger in his heart was instantly extinguished like cold water poured over it.
Fear appeared in his heart.
His eyes were filled with dread and apprehension.
"What exactly do you want?"
"Can you stop resorting to violence at the slightest disagreement?"
"What do you want? Just say it, I haven't refused anything."
Lin Xiaotian said with a half-smile, "I already told you earlier, to call your dad."
"You still thought I wasn't worthy, this is to teach you a lesson, some things shouldn't be said carelessly."
"Now, you call immediately, and I'll give you another chance. If you don't call, then prepare to be beaten to death by me!"
Upon hearing this, Young Master Liu didn't dare to hesitate and took out his phone.
His phone had been turned off for the past two days.
The reason he didn't dare to turn it on was his fear of his father's trouble, as he had botched a simple task.
He knew he would be scolded upon returning home, but now he couldn't afford to worry about that. Being scolded by his father was better than facing this lunatic. Lin Xiaotian was truly determined to kill him.
He quickly connected, and the enraged voice of the Liu family head came through.
"Shao Xuan, I've been looking for you for over a day, where have you been?"
"There's also a very important matter I need to discuss with you, and you dare to turn off your phone!"
Liu Shaoxuan's eyes were filled with grievance, and he said fearfully, "Dad, don't talk about those things first, can you come and save me? I'm about to be beaten to death!"
"He said he wants me to call you, and for you to come here in person."
"And he wants you to scold me in front of him. He doesn't take our entire Liu family seriously at all, he doesn't care about us."
"I've mentioned your name multiple times, but he dismissed it with disdain."
The Liu family head had been blinded by rage these past two days.
His daughter's death had already pushed him to his limit. To think that someone would cause trouble for him at this time, he was in dire need of a scapegoat.
"Good, someone dares to disrespect our Liu family. I'll bring people over immediately."
"You dare to hit my son? I'll make him wish he were dead."
"Send me the location, I'm coming right now."
"Wait for me there. I have something very important to tell you when I arrive."
The other end hung up the phone immediately.
Liu Shaoxuan's words had enraged the Liu family head. Someone killing his daughter had already made him explode with anger, but after all, they were from the Wu family.
He didn't know what Wu Jie was thinking, he still hadn't found that person.
Now, someone was targeting his son. Did they really think he was a pushover?
Liu Shaoxuan could clearly hear the fury in his father's voice, and he felt touched.
He never expected his father to be so angry because he was beaten, a reaction that had only ever been shown to his sister before.
He was actually receiving such treatment.
His father would definitely bring many experts. He vowed to make Lin Xiaotian pay a thousand times over.
However, he dared not voice these thoughts, as he was still facing Lin Xiaotian. He was no match for Lin Xiaotian, and if he acted too arrogantly, Lin Xiaotian might beat him to death. Then, he wouldn't even have a place to cry.
Lin Xiaotian said with a half-smile, "You still haven't sent the location, what are you spacing out for?"
Liu Shaoxuan finally came to his senses, lost in his thoughts and almost forgetting the important matter.
"Thank you for reminding me, I almost forgot. It's just that my dad scolded me on the phone, and I was afraid he'd come looking for trouble, so I got a bit distracted."
He tried his best to show his submissive side.
At least he had to prevent Lin Xiaotian from continuing to hit him.
Lin Xiaotian had already guessed what he was thinking, and a slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He was actually looking forward to the arrival of the Liu family head.
"The location has already been sent, so let's chat about something else!"
"For example, does your family have any good treasures? The Wu family sent me several thousand-year-old ginsengs before, which are said to be priceless. I haven't used them yet."
"However, thousand-year-old ginseng is of great benefit to me. Does your family collect such items?"
Liu Shaoxuan didn't believe Lin Xiaotian could truly deal with their family. He thought Lin Xiaotian was just stalling for time and sneered inwardly.
On his face, he deliberately put on a smug smile, though the clear slap marks made it look somewhat comical.
"Our Liu family is much stronger than the Wu family. What is thousand-year-old ginseng? Our family also has ten-thousand-year-old Vermillion Fruits, seven-colored Ganoderma lucidum from thousands of years ago, and..."
However, before he could finish, Lin Xiaotian slapped him directly.
This slap sent Liu Shaoxuan flying backward.
He crashed heavily into the wall, his bones feeling like they had all come apart.
As Liu Shaoxuan fell to the ground, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, mixed with a few teeth. The intense pain brought tears to his eyes.
"I wasn't finished speaking, why did you hit me again?"
"Did you say something wrong?"
Lin Xiaotian said with a smile, "Why are you pretending in front of me?"
"Your family can't produce a single item you mentioned. Forget your family, even those aristocratic families with thousands of years of history can't produce such precious items."
"Those medicinal herbs cannot be preserved for thousands of years. The limit is a few hundred years at most. Any longer, and the medicinal efficacy will be completely wasted. Are you planning to bring me a fossil?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Shaoxuan realized why he had been beaten again – he had bragged too much.
His expression was somewhat stiff.
He still said stubbornly, "Although our family doesn't have ten-thousand-year-old Vermillion Fruits, we do have medicinal herbs from thousands of years ago."
"If I'm lying to you, may I die a terrible death!"
