Chapter 799 - 799 272 Here it comes 2 in 1

Chapter 799: Chapter 272: Here it comes! [2 in 1] Chapter 799: Chapter 272: Here it comes! [2 in 1] But about this, Ximen Huai De dared not speak.

His father and uncle had repeatedly told him to behave, not to run around, and definitely not to entertain any notions of becoming a Beast Taming Master.

At present, the focus should be entirely on healing and treatment.

Once his wounds were healed, he should return home immediately and stay away from Yuezhou, this place of trouble.

Such admonishments had not been spoken once or twice; he’d truly been told countless times!

How could they admit that tonight they had used means to threaten He Xiangming, the head of the Beast Taming Sect here, to secure a chance to meet the master?

If their father found out, the punishment would be the least of their worries; they might even lose this hard-won opportunity…

Given that, wouldn’t it be better to wait for the meeting with the master, to buy a young beast, to establish a good relationship, or perhaps… Hmm?

With such a return to the family, it would be time for them to establish great merit. Who would care about a little disobedience at that time?

The message from He Xiangming was also urgent, stating that the master would depart tomorrow morning to look for young beasts…

If they didn’t see him today, who knows when he would return.

Moreover, this message came two hours earlier than the news of the divine healer treating illnesses. They had already prepared gifts for two hours.

This meeting was already a confirmed action. If it truly couldn’t happen… that would be utterly disastrous.

It had already been extremely difficult for them to hold out until now, feeling restless as ants on a hot pot!

But looking at the current scene, they feared that before they could finish drinking, their father would leave to treat his illness. By the time the banquet ended, conservatively, it would be the early hours of the morning, and by then, getting up… the dishes would not only be cold, but they might also be thrown into the trash.

Maybe in a little while, the master would already be thousands of miles away.

Where would they find him then?

“We truly have urgent matters… Third Uncle.”

Ximen Huai De bowed, with a pained expression, “Third Uncle, it’s not that we’re unfilial…”

Ximen Qianli glared at them, “Then tell me, what urgent matter do you have that is more important than your father’s recovery?”

“…”

Both men bowed, heads lowered, remaining silent, yet they did not return to their seats, just stood firm.

Ximen Qianli’s eyes flashed with intense anger, the sort that could almost become tangible, his mustache trembling and fingers shaking in fury, “You two, you unfilial sons…”

“Cough!”

Ximen Qianqiu looked over, and with his cultivation, naturally heard every word of the conversation clearly.

He was utterly disappointed with his sons’ behavior at this moment.

But with so many guests present, it wasn’t a good time to scold them, so he simply let out a breath and said aloud, “Let them go!”

Ximen Qianli took a deep breath, his gaze sharp, and sent a fierce message, “Once back at the family, I will personally enforce the family law!”

He moved his feet, stepping aside.

“Yes, we are unworthy. We have angered our uncle. Just wait for today to pass, and we will accept any punishment you impose, Third Uncle. We dare not have any objections!”

The brothers bowed deeply and then resolutely turned and hurriedly departed.

Ximen Qianli’s face was livid with rage as he watched his nephews leave with their entourage, furiously saying, “If you dare, then don’t come back!”

He flicked his sleeve and turned to go back to his room.

His last words effectively gave them one final chance, but they insisted on having their own way, true to the saying that they wouldn’t turn back until they hit the wall!

The heavy snow continued to fall, quickly covering the footsteps of Ximen Huai De and the others as they left, leaving no trace within moments.

As if their departure had never existed.

In the hall, the banquet was in full swing, with the fragrance of wine in the air and candlelights flickering.

Although Ximen Qianqiu had some displeasure in his heart, such an occasion was not suitable for outbursts. He stood up laughing and said, “I am going to keep my appointment. None of you should leave. When I return, we will continue drinking to our heart’s content!”

“We’ve all been waiting to hear the good news of the old master’s recovery, to share in the joy!”

The response was thunderous approval.

Several cultivators of similar age from other families raised their glasses in toast, smiling, “Come back soon! We’ll wait for your toast!”

“Good!”

Ximen Qianqiu rose and left, with Ximen Qianli escorting him.

“Brother, it’s all because you indulged them too much that we have this awkward situation today,” Ximen Qianli was still somewhat resentful.

“I had no choice… Their mother died in childbirth with the third one, and I was often in poor health, so I inevitably spoiled them a bit.”

“This cannot go on, or sooner or later, something big will happen. The world is so vast; not everyone will show respect to our Ximen family!” Ximen Qianli said.

Ximen Qianqiu sighed, “After I recover, I will teach them a good lesson.”

The brothers sighed one after the other.

With heavy hearts, they walked towards the Conscientious Medical Clinic. Although recovery was imminent and they ought to have been elated, the recent incident had dampened their spirits, and they felt no joy at all.

Even journeying through the heavy snow, they felt a deep sense of loss.

Every step they took in the snow was accompanied by a crunch, but their hearts felt emptier and emptier for reasons they couldn’t fathom.

The greatest helplessness for a man is to have an unworthy wife and unfilial sons, and this saying was fully exemplified in Ximen Qianqiu.

Because these were things he couldn’t just decide on his own.

No matter how formidable you are, if your son is worthless, what can you do?

Slap him to death?

Children grow up and have their own thoughts, and the teachings of the older generation… can only just be teachings.
