Chapter 06: It Is Useless to Beg Me!

Sitting in the hall, although Huang Ming finds Huang Peng and Huang Xiaolong’s visit a little sudden, but remains seated and did not rise when Huang Peng entered the hall.      

"Second Manor Lord." Zhou Guang and his son, Zhou Xuedong seeing it was Huang Peng, immediately stood up and greeted, not daring to remain seated like Huang Ming.

Huang Peng first nodded at the Zhou father and son then turned to Huang Ming: "Big Brother.”

Huang Xiaolong followed by a somewhat reluctant voice: "Eldest Uncle." 

Huang Ming’s face was expressionless as usual, said: "Second Brother, you’re here. Sit."

Huang Peng and Huang Xiaolong sat down on the chairs at the side. As Huang Peng was sitting down he was thinking how he should word out his request to Huang Ming.

"Second Brother, what brings you over here?" At this moment Huang Ming asked.

Huang Peng hesitated for a moment, honestly said: "Big Brother, I heard that Huang Wei said at the annual Clan Assembly at the end of the year, he will cripple both of Xiaolong’s arms, so…” Huang Peng’s words trailed off here.

"Oh, is there such a matter?" Huang Ming looked astonished.

Huang Xiaolong looking at his Uncle Huang Ming’s deadpan expression snickered inwardly, even his father Huang Peng have heard about the matter which means the matter had spread to the entire Huang Clan Manor, there is no way Huang Ming does not know about it.

"Huang Wei, is there such matter?"  Huang Ming turned over and asked his son, Huang Wei.

Huang Wei answered with unblinking eyes and unchanging facial expression: “There is no such thing.” Glancing at Huang Peng and Huang Xiaolong, Huang Wei continued: ”In my opinion, there are people  who deliberately uses this as an excuse to cause trouble for our  Northern Courtyard.”           

Huang Peng’s face was beet-red in anger when he heard this, does this mean that he and his son are idle people with nothing better to do that they’ll run over here to cause trouble for Huang Ming and his son?  

Huang Xiaolong watching Huang Ming and Huang Wei, this pair of father and sons’ ‘performance’; where one person asks and the other answers, sneered in his heart.

"Big Brother, what do you say about this matter?!" Holding back his anger, Huang Peng turned to Huang Ming.

Huang Ming waved, still maintaining his deadpan expression: "Well, Second Brother since there is no such thing, you can go back now."

No such thing! The meaning behind Huang Ming’s words is extremely clear; that Huang Peng came over to look for trouble.  

Repressing his rising anger, Huang Peng said: "Big Brother, you mean to say that us, father and son, had nothing better to do that we'll come over here to make trouble for you!”

Huang Ming frowned as his face turn cold: "Even if the matter is true, what about it? Sparring between same age peer during the Clan Assembly is a common event.”

Huang Ming said frivolously but did not mention anything about Huang Wei wanting to cripple both of Huang Xiaolong’s arms.  

Huang Peng stood up in rage staring at his Big Brother Huang Ming: "Are you saying even if Huang Wei wasted both of Xiaolong’s arms, it is normal?!"

With indifference on his face, Huang Ming said: "Then, are you implying that I should ban the peer sparring event during the annual Clan Assembly? The peer sparring event is a rule set down by Father do you mean to say the rules set by Father is wrong?”

A harsh light glinted in Huang Xiaolong eyes. His father Huang Peng intention is just to have Huang Ming to advise his son Huang Wei to let him off, everyone in the hall knows what his father’s intention is, but Huang Ming twisted the facts claiming that Huang Peng is requesting him, Huang Ming, to ban an event set by their Father, making things difficult for him.

Zhou Guang and Zhou Xuedong, both father and son, sat there without speaking, but in their eyes their gloating pleasure is obvious.   

Huang Peng face flushed red with anger, clenching both his fists, taking a deep breath and said to Huang Ming: "Xiaolong is your nephew!”

Huang Ming raised hid eyelids, glanced at Huang Xiaolong and said to Huang Peng said: "Do I need you to remind me about this? Don’t I know he is my nephew? Even if he is my nephew, it is useless for you to beg me!"

Huang Peng laugh despite angered: "Good, good." Now, he finally sees his Big Brother true face, a chilling feeling filled his heart, decades of brotherhood yet are no better than strangers!

Huang Xiaolong couldn’t resist saying in a cold voice: "Huang Ming, do you truly think that your son is capable of crippling me during the Clan Assembly?

“Impudent!” Seeing a little brat like Huang Xiaolong dared to refer to him by name in front of Zhou Guang furiously stood up, a palm strike out at Huang Xiaolong, an overbearing battle aiming towards Huang Xiaolong’s chest, suddenly a silhouette flashed blocking in front of Huang Xiaolong.

"Hong!" An explosion resounded and the silhouette blocking in front of Huang Xiaolong staggered back heavily with “deng deng” sound.

"Dad, are you okay ?!" Huang Xiaolong an anxious, sideways Huang Peng came to the side, just take over Huang Ming is Huangpeng.

Huang Peng waved his hand, shaking his head: "I'm fine.”

In the end, Huang Xiaolong is still Huang Ming’s pro-nephew, although angered, Huang Ming’s strike with a sense of propriety, otherwise, with Huang Peng late-Sixth Order strength it is insufficient to block a palm from Huang Ming, a late-Seventh Order.              

Huang Xiaolong seeing that his father is not injured breathed a sigh of relief.

 At this time Huang Wei who was on the side came up and said: " Second Uncle if you want me to let Huang Xiaolong off, it is not impossible, as long as Huang Xiaolong kneel down, kowtow three times loudly, and let me slap twenty times at end of the year Clan Assembly, I will let him off!’

Kowtow three times and twenty slaps? Huang Peng’s brows creased tightly and looked at his son.

Huang Xiaolong looked at Huang Wei, said with a cold voice: "In the past or now, I Huang Xiaolong kneeled before Heaven and kneeled before Earth, but never before a person!” Then, turning to Huang Peng and said: "Father, let’s go!’

Kneeled before Heaven, kneeled before Earth, but never before a person! Huang Peng was startled then smiled appreciatively: "Good son, let's go!" Saying that, Huang Peng and Huang Xiaolong turn to leave.

Huang Wei looking at Huang Peng and Huang Xiaolong’s leaving silhouettes, anger rising in his heart, yelling at Huang Xiaolong’s back: "Huang Xiaolong, do you think I wouldn’t dare to cripple your arms during the Clan Assembly?”

Huang Ming looking at the two disappearing figures, his face complicated.

“Eldest Manor Lord, this Huang Xiaolong just caused of his identity, disrespectful to family elders, even dared to refer to Eldest Manor Lord by name, this is too" At this time, Zhou Guang came up to and said.

However, the words have yet to finish, Huang Ming palm swept past Zhou Guang’s face leaving a clear red five finger mark on his face. 

Huang Ming looked at Zhou Guang, his face expressionless but his eyes are like a knife: "This is something between us our brothers, you are not qualified to butt in!"

"Yes, yes, Eldest Manor Lord, it is subordinate’s indiscretion, subordinate’s indiscretion!" Zhou Guang panicked, apologizing over and over again.

After a while, Huang Xiaolong and his father Huang Peng returned to Eastern Courtyard, Su Yan knowing that Huang Xiaolong and Huang Peng had returned quickly came up and asked in a worried voice:” How was it?”

Huang Peng did not know how to explain instead it was Huang Xiaolong who said: "Mom, you don’t have to worry about the Clan Assembly, I will be fine, nothing will happen to me.”

Su Yan hearing this thought Huang Wei has promised to let Huang Xiaolong off during the Clan Assembly sparring event, her worried heart finally appease, smiling she said: "That's good, then all is good!"

Huang Peng opened his mouth wanting to say something but looking at his wife’s happy face, in the end, he said nothing.
