Chapter 394 The World's Number One Filial Son, Even Heaven Favors Him
"You want to hit me, don't you?"
Yuwen Huaji gripped the spiked club tightly, the iron spikes on it gleaming coldly in the moonlight.
He glared fiercely, his chest heaving, staring intently at the rebellious son before him.
"No, you can't, you're my father."
Yuwen Chenglong chuckled, speaking sweet words, but his steps were anything but slow.
Before he finished speaking, he flashed forward, his right hand shooting out like lightning.
Yuwen Huaji felt his hand lighten, and the heavy spiked club slipped from his grasp, ending up in Yuwen Chenglong's hands in the blink of an eye.
"But what can you do to me?"
Yuwen Chenglong twirled the spiked club in his hand, then propped it up on the ground, raising his chin slightly with a provocative expression on his face.
Unlike his elder brother Yuwen Chengdu, he was not submissive and could be beaten or scolded by his father at will.
Yuwen Huaji was so angry that his beard stood on end. He roared at the gate, "Open the gate and let Chengdu out!"
With a creak, the vermilion gate of the Yuwen Mansion slowly opened.
A golden figure strode out from inside the door.
Yuwen Chengdu was clad in golden armor and a golden helmet, holding a phoenix-winged gilded cymbal, his face ashen.
With each step he took, he exuded a sense of oppression, like a moving mountain.
No matter how much Yuwen Chenglong fools around or messes up his father's life, Yuwen Chengdu will never take it seriously.
After all, he was his own younger brother. He would discipline him, but he never really hurt him.
But today is different. This kid actually announced in public that he had formed his own lineage and expelled himself from the Yuwen family.
This is not just nonsense, it's outrageous and blasphemous!
"You've even taken out the gong?"
When Yuwen Chenglong saw the phoenix-winged gilded cymbal, the smile on his face froze instantly.
Oh no, my older brother is really angry.
"Chengdu, why aren't you quick to teach this unfilial son a lesson on my behalf!"
Yuwen Huaji brought his two fingers together and pointed them directly at Yuwen Chenglong.
In the past, he commanded Yuwen Chengdu to do things mostly for his own selfish desires.
But today is different. This is called having a legitimate reason to do something. He shouted it with confidence and a clear conscience.
"be punished!"
Yuwen Chengdu let out a low shout, pushed off with both legs, and leaped into the air.
The phoenix-winged gilded axe was raised high above his head, carrying immense force, and smashed straight down on Yuwen Chenglong with a move called "Mount Tai Pressing Down".
"Are you serious?!"
Yuwen Chenglong's pupils shrank sharply, and he instinctively dodged to the side.
The phoenix-winged gilded axe slammed down almost past his shoulder with a loud bang, leaving a crater the size of a bowl in the ground.
Even Lü Xiao and Yang Ruyi, who were sitting across the hall watching the show, couldn't help but frown slightly at this moment.
Yuwen Chengdu's attack was indeed a bit too heavy-handed.
Lu Zhen sat in the chair, his back ramrod straight.
He slowly raised his hand and gently placed it on the back of his younger brother Lü Yan's head, patting it and then patting it.
"If you dare to make a big mistake in the future, I will be even more ruthless than your master."
His voice was not loud, it could even be described as very soft.
But the chill in his tone made Lü Yan shiver involuntarily.
Lu Yan shrank his neck. He had never realized before that his usually gentle and refined older brother was actually a ruthless person.
He nodded hurriedly, his little head bobbing like a chick pecking at rice: "No...no, I can't..."
"That would be best."
Lu Zhen withdrew his hand with satisfaction, sat up straight again, and turned his gaze back to the lively scene opposite him.
Today's performance was worthwhile; I've learned the meaning of brotherly love and respect, and the importance of respecting superiors and inferiors.
Yuwen Chenglong was chased around by Yuwen Chengdu and ended up in a sorry state.
He finally witnessed his older brother's full power.
If the fighting continues, he'll probably only be able to hold onto his newly appointed title of Duke for half a day.
"Stop! Stop!" Yuwen Chenglong rolled away to dodge another sweeping attack, raising his hands high. "Brother, I surrender! I surrender!"
Yuwen Chengdu put away his axe and stood there, his face still gloomy, but he did not continue the pursuit.
"You unfilial son, do you know you've done wrong?"
Yuwen Huaji twirled his sparse beard, unable to hide the smile on his face.
How many times has he suffered at the hands of this rebellious son over the years?
He was contradicted in public, sabotaged behind his back, so angry that he vomited blood, so angry that he fainted.
But things are different today.
He used his eldest son to vent his anger.
"Um……"
Yuwen Chenglong looked around and noticed that more and more people were gathering in their direction.
Most of them were court officials who, after celebrating their victories with wine, still remembered to come here to watch the play.
Thinking of this, Yuwen Chenglong's eyes lit up, and he immediately had an idea.
He won't go home if he's not allowed to, but he's still the son of the Yuwen family.
Just then, the sky suddenly darkened.
Dark clouds surged in from all directions, piling up layer upon layer in the sky.
Thunder rumbled and rolled through the clouds, growing louder as it approached.
A moment later, a light drizzle began to fall.
The rain did not dampen the crowd's enthusiasm for watching the spectacle; instead, it added a touch of tragic grandeur to the event.
Yuwen Chenglong raised his head, letting the rain hit his face.
He spoke slowly, his voice not loud, but exceptionally clear.
"Father, I know I was wrong!"
This shout was loud and clear, filled with sobs, remorse, and the sincere repentance of an unfilial son.
The crowd immediately stirred.
How did Yuwen Chenglong, who was just arrogant and domineering, suddenly kneel down and admit his mistake?
The speed at which this expression changed was even faster than the change in the weather.
Even Yuwen Huaji was stunned, his hand stroking his beard froze in mid-air, and the smile on his lips froze on his face.
This rebellious son suddenly changed his nature?
No, there must be something fishy going on here.
He knew his son too well. This kid never played by the rules since he was a child, and every time he admitted his mistake, it meant he was going to make an even bigger mistake next time.
"A grave mistake has been made, and I am filled with remorse."
Yuwen Chenglong knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily.
His forehead struck the wet flagstones with a dull thud.
"But no matter what, a child is always his father's son."
Even if Father wants to kill me, that child is still a member of the Yuwen family!
He kowtowed again, this time harder than before, breaking the skin on his forehead, and blood mixed with rainwater flowed down his nose.
But he was completely unaware and kowtowed a third time.
After kowtowing three times, his forehead was covered in blood and flesh.
Rainwater washed over his face, making it impossible to distinguish between raindrops and tears.
He knelt in the rain, soaked to the bone, looking as pathetic as a stray dog.
"So filial! So very filial!"
Pei Yuanqing squeezed out of the crowd at some point and stood at the very front.
He wiped the rain off his face, nodded slightly, and his tone was full of emotion and admiration.
To be honest, he also thought Yuwen Chenglong was an outrageous person.
They're capable of anything, from betraying their fathers to digging up ancestral graves.
But what he did today is truly a model of filial piety.
He's narrow-minded; he always sees people as little devils.
