He was not old, with a delicate face, somewhat resembling the young Chu Yunfei.
His eyes were filled with bitterness, yet before Chu Yunfei could speak, he knelt down with a thud, and knocked his head hard on the ground:
"Unfilial son Chu Qing, greets Father."
Chu Qing raised an eyebrow, giving a cold smile.
They truly exerted effort... But seeing this person’s look, Chu Qing was even more sure that person didn’t know his true identity.
Based on this person’s appearance alone, deceiving Chu Yunfei would be easy.
After seven years apart, appearing different as the features matured, was only natural.
This face somewhat resembling Chu Yunfei’s was enough to pass as him.
As these thoughts raced in his mind, Chu Yunfei let out a deep sigh:
"Unfilial son! You still know to come back!?"
He suddenly stood up, reached ’Chu Qing’s’ front in one step, and raised his hand to strike.
Gathering inner strength in his palm, causing the wine pots and tea cups on the table to tremble slightly, making a clattering sound.
’Chu Qing’ remained kneeling without lifting his head:
"I know I am unfilial, deserving ten thousand deaths, please father punish me!!"
The raised hand, in the end, didn’t fall, instead, his eyes turned red, gritting his teeth and saying:
"You... you unfilial son, how could you be so heartless?
"Seven years... for a whole seven years, there has been no news from you, do you know... you left easily, but where does that leave your family’s loved ones?
"Your second brother is with the Taiyi Sect; every time he sends a letter home, he must inquire after you, and has even asked the sect’s elders to keep an eye out for you while traveling in the Martial World.
"Your eldest brother is still searching for you to this day; whenever there’s any sign, he goes personally, always leaving with hope and returning with disappointment.
"How could you be so heartless... not returning for seven years!!"
Saying this, he glanced at Wu Qianhuan again, his anger flaring understandably:
"Moreover, when you left, did you know all the rumors in the city fell on Qianhuan?
"She is the young mistress of Celestial Dance City, and while people don’t dare speak openly, what good words could there be behind the scenes?
"You... you, today I must beat you to death!!"
Wu Qianhuan had been watching the kneeling ’Chu Qing,’ but from the moment he came in, he kept his head low, never once looking at her.
After waiting for quite some time without seeing him raise his head, Chu Yunfei was almost about to act, she hurried forward to pull on Chu Yunfei’s arm:
"Uncle Chu, you..."
Before finishing her sentence, the kneeling ’Chu Qing’ abruptly raised his head, flicked his sleeves, revealing two daggers in his hands, thrusting them toward Chu Yunfei’s chest and abdomen, leaving the second half of her sentence to be turned into a cry of alarm:
"Careful!!"
This shock was indeed no trivial matter, the voice rang out, but there was no time to react.
And with this turn of events, everyone present couldn’t react.
Plainly, a reunion of father and son, who could have thought this son harbored such malicious intent!?
Seeing Chu Yunfei caught off guard, and about to be harmed by the dual blades.
A sword scar appeared from thin air.
Like a meteor, like a lightning bolt, leaving an indelible mark in the eyes of all guests present... a sword scar!
