Chapter 227: Chapter 227- Kowtow and Apologise (2)

If that was really the case, if somebody really leaked the pill recipe to the latter, it was not hard to imagine who could do something like this.

What’s more, they cannot just ignore this incident, if it was really what he thought it was, it would be a great scandal that could potentially destroy the reputation of their association. He would have to investigate it later.

As if seeing through the thoughts of Elder Du, Song Ming next to him barely controlled himself from making an extremely ugly expression and lashing out at his nephew.

This waste of his clan, not only did he make him lose his face today, but he was even going to put him deeper into trouble. After all, if it was found out that he was the one who leaked the pill recipe to Song Zhen, not only would he be kicked out of the association, but his alchemist badge and license could also be revoked.

"Song Zhen!!! Do you think this is the song clan where you can say anything? Apologise to the young man and everyone here for the nonsense that you just made up. If you don’t accept your fault, then you will be forcing my hand. I will not see whose son you are at that time"

Song Ming barked, outraged. Being the sly fox that he was, he immediately came up with an idea to make whatever his nephew said, nonsense.

After all, even though Song Zhen was in his mid thirties, he was still a generation younger than them, which made him their junior. And who would take the words of Junior who was not even a tier 1 alchemist seriously?

The words that Song Ming said to save his own skin, was also the lifeboat for Song Zhen. He knew that he had let slip something that he shouldn’t and could only obediently back down. But to apologise to the brat, he felt it was beyond humiliating.

"Song Zhen, are you going to defy your elders till the very end?"

Song Ming spoke with a grim voice. From how stirred up his soul energy was, one could tell that he was extremely unhappy with Song Zhen’s behaviour.

Cowering at the sight of his uncle, he finally acquiesced "I was wrong in accusing you of something you haven’t done. Please forgive me"

Cupping his hands towards Yang Chen, Song Zhen apologised. That said, although he said words of apology, his tone or his behaviour suggested that he was the least bit apologetic.

On the contrary, Yang Chen even felt killing intent and enmity coming off of him. From the others, he knew that Song Zhen’s personality was the worst. There was no way he would let this incident go and definitely seek revenge.

Since that was the case, since he had formed a proper grudge with the other party, Yang Chen would not let this go easily too.

In front of everyone, he started his acting. His eyes became red and his voice wavered as if he was deeply hurt.

"How can you say something like this? This is deeply insulting, I have been practising alchemy with all my heart. All the elders and everyone here have seen me refine the pill. Yet you say that I have cheated. Your words have not only insulted me, but my master too. I cannot simply accept your apology"

With Yang Chen’s acting and those words, everyone felt that he was right. How could he just accept an apology like that? Everyone was of the same mind as him and wanted Song Zhen to apologise properly.

Feeling everyone’s piercing gaze on him, the latter could only ask "Then what should I do?"...

"Let’s see, since you have not only insulted me but my master too by accusing me of cheating, you need to kowtow and apologise to my master. I can let the insults on me slide; however, the slight on my master who has raised me like his own son and taught me alchemy, I cannot forgive you for that. Kowtow to my master three times and say that you were the ones who cheated and not me"

Yang Chen spoke with a trace of anger and determination, leaving no room for anyone to get any say edge wise. His words were also uncompromising, if Song Zhen did not kowtow three times, he wouldn’t forgive him.

Everyone in the hall was surprised by his words including the two elders. However, they also understood why he was so angry. Throwing an accusation of cheating on him was equivalent to throwing an accusation at his master who taught him.

How could anyone just forgive someone who slighted someone they respected? They felt like it should be how the young man said.

Little did they know that Yang Chen had no master and all of this was just an act to gather their sympathy. Since the other party had bared their killing intent, he would not hesitate to be ruthless.

If he cannot kill them, he will crush their spirit and grind them into dust. That’s how he dealt with all of his enemies.

Unbeknownst to them, Yang Chen influenced their mind. Without even them noticing they were playing into his palm. That was how effective his acting was. Not having foreseen such a situation Song Zhen was completely at a loss.

How can he kowtow to a brat who he thought was beneath him? How can he do something so humiliating? Impossible, there was no way he would do that.

That said, the decision that he would kowtow or not, was not up to him. Having heard that the young man had a master, which should have been obvious to him given the godly skill that he had just shown, Elder Du was completely on Yang Chen’s side and wanted to win him over no matter what.

Heck forget about kowtowing to his master, even if the latter said that he wanted Song Zhen to kowtow to him, he would still support him.
