CHAPTER 103
Make amends
"What happened?!"
A moment later, the Patriarch of the Guan Clan, Guan Hongye, appeared in the hall with a gloomy face.
"Family head, Luo Zheng has already entered the Blood-Tempering Realm. Furthermore, it is very likely that he has already become a soldier of the Five Beast Army."
In a daze, Guan Yuanye recounted what had happened.
"How is this possible?!"
After Guan Hongye heard this, he almost fainted. After a while, he recovered and made a decision. He hurriedly shouted, "Quick, go and call all the people in power in the clan. We must apologize to Guan Lan and her children. No matter what price we have to pay, we must make Luo Zheng forgive us. This is the hope of our Guan Family's prosperity. Also, today's matter must be sealed. No one is allowed to leak a single word. Violators will be charged with treason. "
"Also, send back the betrothal gifts from the Yu Family!"
In just a short while, all the leaders of the Guan Family had gathered to discuss how to make amends.
For a time, the Guan Clan Mansion was in chaos.
Luo Zheng took his mother back to the small courtyard. He called Luo Qing, who was practicing, and prepared to pack up and leave.
"Madam, Patriarch Guan Hongye, along with First Elder Guan Xingye, Second Elder Guan Yuanye, and other leaders of the Guan Family have come to pay their respects."
At this moment, a servant came in to report.
When the servant opened the door and saw the leaders of the Guan Clan, he was shocked and wanted to greet them. However, Guan Hongye only asked him to announce the arrival of the leaders of the Guan Clan, and he even bowed respectfully.
"Mother …"
Luo Zheng looked at his mother, Guan Lan. If it were up to him, he would just ignore the Guan family. However, the Guan family was where his mother grew up, so he still had to listen to her.
"Zheng 'er …" Guan Lan hesitated.
"Alright! How about we see the sincerity of the Guan Family? " Luo Zheng understood what his mother meant. After all, they were blood relatives. Since the Guan family had given in, they should give them a chance.
He looked at the servant and said, "Go and ask them what they want."
The servant hurriedly left. After a while, he returned and stammered, "Young Master Zheng, the Patriarch and the others said that they are here to apologize. This is the list of gifts."
The servant was scared out of his wits. When the family head, Guan Hongye, personally said that he had come to apologize, he didn't dare to believe it. He had to ask several times to confirm it.
The servant hurriedly handed over the gift list in his hand.
"Read it." Luo Zheng waved his hand lightly, too lazy to look at it.
"Five hundred thousand gold taels."
"Nine shops on the main street of Linyang City."
"Three shops in Linyangwu City."
"Thirty male and female slaves."
"One top-grade white jade ruyi."
"Place the ice coral on the table."
"Three bolts of silk brocade from the Western Region."
…
What a long list. The servant's mouth was dry from all the talking. His heart was incomparably shocked. He had been a servant of the Guan Clan for thirty years. From what he knew, this was almost all of the Guan Clan's wealth. It was worth at least three million taels of gold.
"Hmph, tell them that I can accept the gift list, but on one condition. Guan Shuyan and Guan Ye must kneel in front of me and admit their mistakes."
Luo Zheng pondered for a moment and said coldly.
"Guan Shuyan and Guan Ye must kneel in front of me and admit their mistakes."
Hearing Luo Zheng's agreement, everyone heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Guan Hongye and Guan Yuanye.
This time, the Guan Clan had already taken out all of their wealth. If they were to give out these things, the Guan Clan would be unable to breathe for the next three years. All of their disciples' elixirs would be cut off.
The price was too high, but if this price could be exchanged for Luo Zheng's forgiveness, it would be worth it. At the age of fourteen, he was already in the Blood Tempering Realm, enough to defeat Guan Yuanye. His future was too bright.
Of course, the Guan Clan didn't know that Luo Zheng's strength was far beyond what they had seen.
"Agree to it. Shuyan was the one who asked Guan Ye to cripple Luo Zheng's hands. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't be able to tolerate it. Kneeling is already being merciful!"
Guan Hongye nodded. As the head of the Guan Clan, he had to put the clan's interests first. Moreover, the one at fault was his daughter.
Guan Yuanye didn't have any objections. As long as he could get Luo Zheng back, everything would be fine.
Half a day later, the Guan Clan opened the main door and welcomed Guan Lan, Luo Zheng, and Luo Qing inside.
"Aunt Lan!"
"Hello Auntie Lan!"
"Cousin Zheng! Cousin Qing! "
"Cousin Tie! Cousin Qing 'er has become prettier. "
Guan Kai, Guan Yi, and the others who were mocking Luo Zheng yesterday were now surrounding him and flattering him. The Hundred Battles Dynasty had always respected the strong. Strength represented everything. Everyone worshipped strong martial artists. Luo Zheng's cultivation was much stronger than theirs.
At this moment, Guan Ye and Guan Shuyan had already arrived at the Guan Clan's main hall.
In the main hall, the elders of the Guan Family were waiting as well.
At this moment, Luo Zheng walked slowly towards the main hall with his mother and sister.
Some of the ordinary members of the Guan Clan felt that something was wrong. However, no one dared to say anything. Today, all the important figures of the Guan Clan were present. This was a serious matter.
The Luo Clan members sat on the left side. The right side was empty for Luo Zheng and his family. Guan Yuanye felt ashamed and didn't attend.
Luo Zheng was very satisfied with the arrangement. He invited Guan Lan to sit in the main seat while he and Luo Qing sat below.
"Alright, let's begin!"
Guan Hongye glanced at Guan Ye, who was standing to the side, and gave him a look.
Guan Ye's face was flushed red. He had always been the most outstanding among his peers in the Guan Clan. He even had a chance to compete for the position of Patriarch. Today, he had to kneel and apologize to Luo Zheng in front of everyone. He was unwilling to do so.
However, when he thought of the terrifying strength that Luo Zheng had displayed, not only did he shatter his grandfather Guan Yuanye's Genuine Qi attack with a single punch, but he had also caused him to be in a sorry state and almost unable to resist, the unwillingness in his heart lessened greatly.
"Your cousin Luo Zheng has amazing talent in martial arts. He will have a bright future ahead of him. You must sincerely apologize to him. Don't be perfunctory. As long as he forgives you, there will be many unexpected benefits in the future. After all, we are the closest to his family in the Guan Clan. "
Guan Yuanye had said this to Guan Ye before entering the main hall. Thinking of these words, his gaze turned sincere.
Guan Ye walked up to Luo Zheng.
"Auntie Lan, Cousin Zheng, I made a mistake this morning and did something wrong. I really deserve to die. I hope that Auntie and Cousin can forgive me this once. Today, in front of all the clansmen, I apologize to you!"
As he spoke, Guan Ye bent his knees and knelt down heavily.
However, he stopped in the middle of kneeling. Luo Zheng's True Qi surged out and helped Guan Ye up.
The Luo Clan leaders' eyes lit up. Guan Yuanye and a few other juniors had seen Luo Zheng use his True Qi. Although Luo Zheng was a Blood Tempering Realm expert, they were still a little worried because they hadn't seen it with their own eyes.
