The Supreme Lord Donghuang

Chapter 107: The Tang Family’s Attitude

As the chief of a tycoon family, Tang Liunian typically only rubbed shoulders with chiefs of premier grand families. He Wuyi was just the chief of an inferior grand family, so Tang Liunian would not have an impression of him even if they had met before.

Although Tang Liunian did not recognize him, He Wuyi did not dare to show any kind of displeasure as he forced out a smile and said courteously, “Tang chief, I am the chief of the grand He family, He Wuyi.”

“He family chief?” Tang Liunian’s eyes flashed coldly as he cried, “Bring your people and get out of my house! From today on, the Tang family will end all cooperation with the He family. Any family who works with the He family will receive the same treatment from the Tang family!” Tang Liunian turned as his gaze swept around the courtyard.

He did not know if their family had any connections with the He family. But he was sure that there were definitely some of the Tang business partners who also worked with the He family.

With that, the whole courtyard breathed in sharply as some muttered, “The He family is done for!”

“Who is this young man? The three biggest figures in the Tang family are treating him so respectfully.”

“Could he be the representative of the benefactor?”

“Just now, Elder Tang Zhanpeng asked him, but he denied it.”

“Then who could he be? In Yunyang country, there is no Zhou family? Unless he is from the Valley of Medicine Masters?”

...

Everybody in the courtyard knew that the He family was gone for after the Tang family chief’s words. Those who had connections with the He family had already decided to cut all ties with them once they went back.

He Wuyi was stunned, as was He Lin. They had never imagined that the Tang family chief would destroy their He family just to stand up for the young man in front of them! For sure, once Tang Liunian’s word spread, most of their business in the Chu royal city would collapse.

Piak!

He Wuyi slapped his daughter heavily as the loud sound rang through the air.

He Lin was completely shocked. As she opened her mouth and spat out blood, there were pieces of broken teeth mixed within. Clearly, her father had treated her with no mercy.

“Stupid girl, aren’t you going to apologize to Young Master Donghuang?” He Wuyi scolded her furiously. However, on the inside, he was filled with bitterness and helplessness. If he wanted to save their family, he had no choice but to treat his daughter like this.

He Lin was not dumb either and knew why her father, who always doted on her, had done that. Clenching her teeth, she dropped to her knees before Zhou Donghuang and begged, “Young Master Donghuang, I was foolish, please forgive me! Please! Please!!”

But Zhou Donghuang did not even glance at her.

Seeing this, He Lin turned to the young girl beside him and begged, “Sister Zixi, it was all my fault, I should not have been jealous of you, I should not have deserted you then, I was wrong, I know I was wrong! Please help me to ask Young Master Donghuang for mercy, ask him to let my family off! Please! Please!!”

He Lin kowtowed to the young girl desperately. Even as the skin on her forehead bled furiously, she did not stop. She knew that with one word, the young girl could save her whole family.

The young girl had never seen anything like this before. Instantly, her face showed a sign of pity as she looked towards the young man beside her.

“Zixi, some people treat you extremely well when you are in power... but when you are in the troughs, they’ll trample all over you.” Before Zixi could speak, Zhou Donghuang turned to her and said flatly, “Some lessons only need to be learned once.”

Over his millennia of experience, he had seen too many people like He Lin. People like her would not return the gratitude even if Yang Zixi spared her today.

The young girl nodded seriously. “Brother Zhou, I understand.” With that, no matter how desperately He Lin begged her, the young girl did not spare her a glance, because she trusted her Brother Zhou. Since he had put it that way, he must have had his reasons.

“Get out!” Tang Liunian shouted as he glanced at He Lin, then He Wuyi.

He Wuyi had turned pale with fright. He hurriedly dragged He Lin out of the courtyard and fled.

After the two had left, Tang Liunian then looked at the tenth elder, Tang Zhanpeng, and turned to the second elder, Tang Yong, standing beside him. “Second Elder, he is from your side, please take care of him.”

Tang Zhanpeng was from Tang Yong’s side of the family, and called Tang Yong “Uncle.”

“Yes, Chief,” responded Tang Yong as his eyes flashed resolutely. He stepped forward, and as Tang Zhanpeng looked on in despair, his palm landed squarely on Tang Zhanpeng’s head, killing him instantly.

Tang Zhanpeng was dead before he could ask for mercy.

Boom!!

Tang Zhanpeng’s lifeless body fell to the ground, his eyes still open. Perhaps he never would have imagined that his careless mistake would lead to such an outcome.

With that, a hush fell over the whole courtyard once again.

From how the Tang family chief had treated the two from the He family just now, they had realized how important this young man was in Tang Liunian’s eyes. But they would never have imagined that the tenth elder of the Tang family would be executed by the second elder just because he had offended this young man!

The tenth elder of the Tang family was a level-six adept and could easily support an entire grand family. But someone as powerful as him had been executed just because he had offended the young man here.

“Who exactly is this young man?”

Now, even the three elders from the three premier tycoon families of the Chu royal city all looked upon the figure in white with shock. They knew that even if Tang Zhanpeng had offended one of them in that manner, he would not be executed by the family, but at most punished before them.

The young man was in flowing white, with handsome features and a distinguished aura. His expression did not flinch, even as Tang Zhanpeng was killed right in front of him.

The young girl standing beside him was filled with horror as he looked at the lifeless body of Tang Zhanpeng lying on the ground. This was the tenth elder of the Tang family. The Tang family had just killed him just to show her Brother Zhou?

“Looks like the special benefactor for which the banquet was hosted today is none other than Brother Zhou.” Now, the young girl realized this.

Pong! Pong!

Before everyone could respond to the execution of Tang Zhanpeng, Zheng Qiuhe, the third lady of the grand Zheng family, and Xie Tingting, the second lady of the grand Xie family, both fell to the ground in shock.

“Zheng Qiuhe and Xie Tingting must have never dreamed that the young man whom they had treated so condescendingly had such status.”

“The Zheng family and the Xie family are in trouble.”

...

Many grand family disciples glanced at the two ladies on the ground and shook their heads, but many of them had glee in their eyes. Many of them had disapproved of their behavior.

Previously, both Zheng Donglai, chief of the ground Zheng family, and Xie Yixun, chief of the grand Xie family, were away talking to the tycoon family chiefs and had not noticed what had happened.

Now, seeing the outcome of the He family, they too felt that the He family was really unfortunate indeed. But they never would have expected that their daughters had offended the young man and lady, just like He Lin had.

As they heard the muttering from the rest of the grand family disciples, their expressions changed into fear.

“Zheng family? Xie family?” Tang Liunian looked coldly at the two ladies sitting on the ground. “From today on, the Tang family and all those who work with us will no longer have any connection with the Zheng or Xie family. Now, scram!”

Before Zheng Donglai or Xie Yixun could say anything, Tang Liunian had kicked them out. Seeing what had happened to the He family, the two did not dare to say anything further because they knew that any pleading would be useless. They grabbed their daughters and left the courtyard, their hurried figures disappearing into the distance. They were well aware that from that day on, the Zheng and Xie family would face the same fate as the He family of being ostracized by all the other families in the city.

All the premier tycoon families of the Chu royal city, and even the Chu royal household, could easily disregard Tang Liunian’s warning, but those families would never work with them anyway. As for the families who would work with them, none would dare to go against the orders of the chief of the premier tycoon family.

As Zheng Qiuhe and Xie Tingting were being led away, their faces were crestfallen. They pinched their faces to check if they were in a dream. But the pinch reminded them that all of this was really happening in real life!

Especially for Zheng Qiuhe, her face was filled with despair and regret, her eyes empty and forlorn. “How could this be... how could it be... how could it possibly be him...”
