Chapter 45: Cheating People Too Much

  There was no trace of the expected shock on Dongfang He's face, instead a mocking smile appeared, holding his daughter's hand, feeling her rapidly beating heart, he looked at Shui Mengyao with concern and said softly: "Mengyao, as long as Father is here, no one can force you to do something you don't want to do."

  What Shuiming said was not that he couldn't, but that he wouldn't, which showed his uncompromising attitude. The people from the Eastern World Family around him heard this and turned cold faces.

  Boldly, the Eastern Crane let out a loud cry, and the overbearing aura of a superior being suddenly burst forth from his not particularly tall body, with Shui Zhong Ming being the first to bear the brunt.

  Shuǐ Mèng Yáo felt that her grandfather was like an ancient demon god, standing majestically at the top of a thousand mountains, and she could only worship from afar, unable to muster even a hint of opposition in her heart. Especially with the aura emanating from his body, it made her heart almost jump out of her chest. She was behind Shuǐ Mèng Yīng, yet still felt this way, let alone her father who stood before her.

  In an instant, a flush of crimson surged up to his face, and a mouthful of blood gushed out from his throat. Unintentionally, some seeped out from the corner of his mouth. But Shui Ming was also a stubborn master, and he forcibly swallowed the fresh blood in his mouth, making his injuries even more severe by threefold. His foot stumbled, and he almost fell to the ground. Water Dream Jade was shocked and hastily supported her father, crying out: "Dad, what's wrong?"

  In the water, Ming Jiang forced himself to open his eyes because of the intense dizziness that made him want to close them. A bitter smile appeared on his face, "Dad is fine."

  "No, Father, I'll take you to the hospital," Shui Mengyao cried out. The fresh blood constantly coughed up from her father's mouth and his lifeless eyes were telling the story of how dire Shui Zhongming's situation was at that moment.

  The Eastern Crane's face showed no ripple, slowly raised his right hand and said faintly: "Zhong Ming, I'll ask you one last question, I hope you consider carefully."

  Shui Ming looked at the stern face of Dongfang He and the indifferent eyes around him, and smiled bitterly again, saying in a low voice: "Is this not retribution? In those years, I abandoned my beloved for wealth and glory, and although I got what I wanted, what's the point of all this now? I'd rather live under a thatched roof eating sweet potatoes, at least then I wouldn't have any regrets. Xiao Hong, I'm sorry."

  "Hmph, I didn't think you'd still be carrying on with Dream Jade's mother behind her back. This time, you won't be let off, Dongfang Bing said coldly, his right hand slowly pressing downwards in the direction of Ming in the water."

  In the water, Ming raised his head to look at the surrounding air that had almost solidified. A force as overwhelming as a mountain crushed down, seemingly like the arrival of doomsday, as if the sky was falling and the earth was sinking. Ordinary people under this force were so insignificant and weak, without the ability to dodge or resist.

  "Meng Yao, quickly move aside."

  "No, I won't," Water Dream Jade grasped her father's hand tightly and said firmly.

  In the water, Ming still wanted to push away Yu Yao, but his weak body couldn't do it. Just then, that power arrived beside the two of them.

  What's most terrifying is the unknown. Water Dreaming looked around and everything changed in an instant. The air that was normally untouchable turned into a wall of gas, and the oxygen inside her body was squandered in just a moment. She wanted to open her mouth to breathe, but found there was no air to inhale. Everything in front of her became blurry, and even the reflection in front of her couldn't be seen clearly. A strong dizzy feeling attacked her brain, what's happening to me? Am I going to die? No, I won't die! Water Dreaming shouted loudly, only to discover that her father was covered in blood, his hands tightly grasping his own neck, struggling to breathe on the ground, his body curled up and trembling constantly. Where was the county magistrate's demeanor now?

  "Guo Ming, Guo Ming, save me!" Shui Meng Yao suddenly thought of something and let out the loudest voice in history, using all her might to shout. After shouting this sentence, Shui Meng Yao's body ran out of oxygen, her brain felt dizzy, and she fainted to the ground.

  Outside, Guo Ming was originally idle, but suddenly heard something, and his eyes burst out with a dazzling divine light. This sudden change immediately caught the attention of several dozen Eastern World Family disciples on the periphery, who immediately became vigilant.

  Guo Ming pointed his index and middle fingers at his forehead, a flash of green light, and the scene that happened to Shui Mengyao earlier reappeared in his mind. Guo Ming cursed loudly and turned into an arrow shooting forward. The dozens of young masters from the Eastern World who were guarding the door looked at each other and simultaneously pushed their right hands outward.

  These people's strength may be very powerful in the secular world, but in Guo Ming's eyes, they are not worth looking at. He also has no patience to play with these people and directly relies on his physical strength to break through, immediately knocking over a dozen disciples. By the time they came back to their senses, Guo Ming had already entered the room.

  The remaining disciples exchanged a glance, and they saw the shock in each other's eyes. Looking at the more than ten disciples who spat up blood, they felt even colder. The combined strength of these people was enough to rival that of a four-star master, but the newcomer was simply reckless and impulsive. If he relied on his own inner power and the subtlety of his moves, how many people here could escape unscathed?

  Guo Mingfei burst in, transforming into a water dragon without reserve. The dragon's roar echoed throughout the principal's office, and the majestic aura of the divine dragon shattered everything in the room into smithereens.

  The air wall of Dongfang He was also shattered by Guo Ming's violent shock, which shocked all the young masters of the Dongfang family, including Dongfang He. Guo Ming transformed into a human figure, hugged the falling Shui Mengyao, and urgently said: "Mengyao, wake up quickly."

  Shui Mengyao opened her dull eyes and saw Guo Ming holding herself, suddenly becoming excited, "It was you who saved me."

  Guo Ming nodded and looked at the gloomy Eastern Crane in the distance, saying: "Was it he who hurt you?"

  "Uh, just now he wanted to kill me and my dad. Ah, Dad!" Water Dream Jade hastily got up from Guo Ming's arms, knelt down to support her fainting father.

  Guo Ming saw the miserable state of Shui in the water and couldn't bear it. Shui Mengyao shook her father vigorously several times, but he still didn't wake up. She looked at Guo Ming and said: "Guo Ming, quickly save my dad!"

  Guo Ming crouched down, his right hand covering the pulse on Shui Ming's right wrist. After a while, Guo Ming withdrew his hand and sighed in front of Shui Mengyao's expectant gaze: "Your father's five internal organs have been completely shattered, it can be said that there is no life left."

  "What, Water Dream Jade only felt the sky spinning and the ground darkening, her feet stumbled once, almost fainting, scaring Guang Ming to hurry up and hold onto her."

  Shui Mengyao slowly let out a breath, her phoenix eyes gazing at Dongfang He, her eyes almost spewing fire as she gritted her teeth and said: "Today you killed my father, tomorrow I will take your head to avenge my father."

  "Haha, what makes you think that? Dongfang He's journey has been through ups and downs for decades, how could he be threatened by just a little maid like her? Upon hearing this, Xie laughed mockingly and said, 'I'll tell you something, today you must follow me.'"

  "What a big tone! Guo Ming stood up upon hearing the voice, pointing at Dongfang He, 'You're just a small aristocratic family, how dare you speak such arrogant words? Do you think the world belongs to your Dongfang family?'"

  The Eastern Crane did not immediately speak sarcastically, from the moment Guo Ming made his move earlier, he had been wary of him. His true energy had already sent out several waves, but each wave was ruthlessly swallowed by the opponent, who was this young man?

  "Who are you?" Dongfang He asked in a low voice.

  "I'm just a carefree person, but I like to get involved in things that I don't think are right," said Guo Ming with a chuckle.

  "Hmph, people like that usually don't live long, so I advise you to mind your own business. Dongfang He was already showing some weakness earlier, but unexpectedly the other party didn't know what's good for them. As the master of the esteemed Dongfang family, why should they be afraid of a small-time family heir? Even if the other party has a powerful background, so what? At most, I'll just apologize in person later. Who would dare not give face to a family master who apologizes in person?" The tone immediately became harsher.

  "You're threatening me? Guo Ming sneered, 'Do you believe I can make everyone here accompany me in death, including you?'"

  "Rampant, it seems your elders didn't teach you how to endure humiliation. Sword, teach him the way of being human." Dongfang He smiled coldly.

  Dongfang Jian's face changed, and he had been trying to retreat since Guo Ming arrived, but unexpectedly, the master still called him out. Dongfang Jian was truly at a loss, and with a fearful glance at Guo Ming, he gritted his teeth and said: "Grandfather, that person is too formidable, I'm no match for him."

  "What?! Dongfang He was furious, pointing at Dongfang Jian and shouting loudly, 'In the Dongfang family, there are only heroes who die in battle, not cowards who die of fear. You actually lost before even fighting, from now on do not appear in front of me again.'"

  Dongfang Jian's face sank, and he gave Guo Ming a gloomy look, but still didn't speak up. He quietly retreated, seemingly acquiescing to Dongfang He's words.

  Dongfang He was extremely disappointed, Dongfang Jian was his most beloved grandson, he never thought that he would turn out to be such a good-for-nothing. Before he could speak again, a young man loudly said: "Grandfather, I'm willing to go and teach that arrogant little brat a lesson on your behalf."

  "It's Leier, okay, okay," Dongfang He said with a smile. Dongfang Lei was also his grandson, but Dongfang Jian had always been the focus of his cultivation. Now that this grandson had stepped forward, he had already considered Dongfang Lei as the new focus of his cultivation in his heart. Those who knew how to seize fleeting opportunities and make the most of them for their own benefit were worth cultivating.

  Dongfang Jian couldn't help but laugh secretly, Dongfang Lei's plan was well thought out, but he had forgotten one thing. If he succeeded, he would surely be greatly used in the future, but if he failed, what then? Knowing that something can't be done yet doing it anyway is foolish. He could have anticipated what treatment he would receive after Guo Ming injured Dongfang Lei with his thunderous methods. It's likely to be even worse than before.
