Chapter 664 A Reckoning
Only Zhu Zhen, at the very back, was not knocked down by Chen Yang.
Zhu Zhen widened his eyes, glanced at his brothers lying on the ground, and then tremblingly looked at Chen Yang.
He had no idea how Chen Yang had moved just now.
In Zhu Zhen's vision, all the brothers he had brought with him had simply flown out.
But as Chen Yang walked towards him, the smile on his face made Zhu Zhen very sure that it was this guy in front of him who had done it!
"Impossible, how can you be so strong?"
"My uncle was only a Great Zhou Tian martial artist back then, and his strength should have regressed after so many years!"
"How could he be a Great Zhou Tian martial artist!"
As Zhu Zhen spoke, he fell to the ground. At this moment, he was so scared that tears were about to stream down his face.
If he had known that Chen Yang was a Great Zhou Tian martial artist, he would never have sought trouble with Chen Yang.
At this moment, Zhu Zhen was filled with regret!
Chen Yang almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Great Zhou Tian martial artist?
So these guys had no idea what Zhu Wenwu's current strength was.
"If I remember correctly, your name is Zhu Zhen, right?"
"Your father is also a martial artist. If you truly don't understand anything, you can go back and ask your father."
Chen Yang had no interest in teaching these brash youngsters a lesson.
After stepping over a few people, Chen Yang disappeared into the courtyard.
Zhu Zhen was then carried away by the steward, who had been observing everything from afar, and instructed his men to take him back.
Upon returning to his own private courtyard, Zhu Zhen immediately rushed into his father's study and asked, "Dad, what realm is my uncle's martial artist cultivation at now?"
"Great Zhou Tian?"
Zhu Wenming was currently on a call with several heads of the company. Zhu Zhen's sudden intrusion made him frown.
"Can't you see I'm on the phone!" Zhu Wenming reprimanded. After saying a few words to the person on the other end of the line, he simply hung up.
Zhu Wenming picked up his teacup, took a slow sip, and then asked, "Why are you suddenly asking this question?"
"Who asked you to ask?"
Although Zhu Wenwu's breakthrough to the peak of Grandmaster had already spread, many families still didn't believe it.
If it weren't for the fact that someone from the Zhu family had indeed fought against a peak Grandmaster once, there might still be people who suspected that this news was a fake message deliberately released by the Zhu family for their protection.
Now, all the families were not questioning whether the Zhu family had a peak Grandmaster, but who exactly this peak Grandmaster was!
These people could investigate this matter from any angle.
Zhu Wenming knew that his son often mingled with the younger generation of some families, and it was not impossible that he was being used as a pawn in this matter!
"Ah? No one asked me to ask, I just wanted to know myself." Zhu Zhen was a little confused why his father would ask this question.
Hearing the answer, Zhu Wenming's eyebrows twitched. After repeatedly asking a few more times, he finally learned the reason from Zhu Zhen.
The teacup in Zhu Wenming's hand trembled. He stared intently at his son, his anger welling up as he roared, "You scoundrel, you have quite the nerve!"
"To cause trouble within the Zhu family!"
"That Chen Yang was brought to the Zhu family by your grandfather himself, and he is a guest of the Zhu family. How could you be so stupid as to do something like this!"
Zhu Wenming had a lot of things he wanted to say, but the person in front of him was, after all, his son.
Zhu Wenming knew very well that his elder brother Zhu Wenwu's strength had reached the peak of Grandmaster.
As for Chen Yang, who had exchanged a palm strike with Zhu Wenwu at that time, Zhu Wenming couldn't quite fathom how powerful he was, but he was at least a very powerful Grandmaster. Whether he had reached the peak of Grandmaster was debatable.
Even so, offending such a powerful Grandmaster was not a good thing!
Zhu Wenming's mind immediately thought of a solution: "Come with me!"
Zhu Zhen was startled by his father's voice.
As he was being dragged forward, he asked, "Where are we going?"
Zhu Wenming suppressed the urge to kick him and said word by word, "You treated him like that within the Zhu family, so naturally, you have to apologize!"
Although Zhu Zhen wasn't very bright, having grown up in such a prominent family, he had an unusual sense of perception.
He immediately realized that it was likely because Chen Yang was extremely powerful.
At this time, Chen Yang, who was in the bamboo courtyard, also told Zhu Wenyu about this matter.
"Your Zhu family's younger generation is quite good among the scions of the noble families I've seen. At least they knew to spare your life."
Hearing Chen Yang's words, Zhu Wenyu let out an awkward smile.
The scions of noble families indeed possessed a considerable arrogance, even if many of them concealed this arrogance within their hearts.
But that innate sense of superiority was far from something that could be shed in a day or two.
Zhu Wenyu had spent more than ten years to achieve this.
For a child like Zhu Zhen, whose life had been smooth sailing for the first half, it was indeed difficult for him to abandon this "honor" that belonged to a noble family.
However, this mindset was acceptable in the southwest, and even in most places, it was quite effective.
But once they encountered some ruthless individuals, they would likely run into big trouble.
Zhu Wenyu could tell that Chen Yang completely regarded Zhu Zhen as a child and didn't take him seriously, otherwise, he wouldn't have just scared him.
"My second brother has been handling the Zhu family's affairs for many years, and his upbringing of Zhu Zhen has indeed been somewhat negligent."
"Zhu Zhen is indeed a bit mischievous, please bear with him. I will talk to him when I have the chance!"
As Zhu Wenyu spoke, something suddenly came to his mind: "How could I have forgotten this!"
Seeing Chen Yang looking at him with confusion, Zhu Wenyu's face showed a strange smile.
"Aren't we going to contact the Gu Master lineage?"
"In the entire Zhu family, the person who has some connection with the Gu Masters is probably my second brother, Zhu Wenming!"
"My second brother almost married someone from the Gu Master lineage back then."
"I'll go to my second brother's place later. Regardless, his son has offended you, so he at least needs to give an explanation."
As soon as Zhu Wenyu finished speaking, Chen Yang's eyelids twitched: "I don't think you need to go. They are already here."
The two looked out towards the bamboo courtyard from the attic and saw Zhu Wenming dragging his son in.
After inviting his second brother upstairs, Zhu Wenyu got straight to the point: "I've heard from Chen Yang about the matter. What Zhu Zhen did this time was indeed too excessive. If it were other martial artists, second brother, you should know the current situation."
Chen Yang, standing beside him, waved his hand: "Since we are guests at the Zhu family, we can't actually fight."
"Besides, he's just a child."
