"Good, then let's have a confrontation."
Du Zhenwu looked at Du Shaofu, his eyes slightly fluctuating. However, this was Du Shaofu's first suggestion, so he nodded and said to the people in the hall, "Then quickly call Du Hao and the others over."
Hearing Du Zhenwu's words, many gossipy women immediately walked out happily. As long as they had a confrontation, Du Shaofu would not be able to deny it.
"Shaofu, sit down and wait."
Du Zhixiong had been sitting there without saying anything. After seeing those gossipy women go out, he opened his mouth to speak.
"Thank you, Second Uncle."
Du Shaofu did not stand on ceremony, nor did he look for an empty seat at the bottom of the hall. Instead, he directly sat where Ye Zijin had sat not long ago. It could be considered as the head of the hall, giving off a feeling of superiority. Du Shaofu did not sit where Ye Baolin had sat, so he was on the same level as Eldest Uncle.
Many people saw Du Shaofu directly sitting at the head of the hall, and their eyes had some opinions, but they did not dare to say anything at this time.
After all, Du Shaofu was the nephew of the Clan Head and Second Master. At this time, under the intimidation of the Clan Head and Second Master, no one dared to directly express anything. They could only allow those gossipy women to make a fuss first. Firstly, the Clan Head could not say anything, and secondly, it was a test of the waters.
After all, now everyone knew that Du Shaofu was no longer that foolish young master. With his identity as the son of the Third Master, he naturally had a much higher status than his peers in the clan.
The Du Clan was divided into the main branch and the side branch, but there was no doubt that Du Shaofu's identity was the main branch of the main branch.
Du Shaofu did not bother to pay attention to the gazes of others, nor did he intend to pay attention to them. He directly opened the brocade box in his hand, and then a one meter long sword appeared in his hand.
The scabbard was simple, and the decorations were simple, revealing a heavy aura.
"Buzz!"
Du Shaofu unsheathed his sword, and the sword hummed like a rainbow. The three feet long sword was completely black in color, and runes were engraved on it. A fierce aura immediately swept out.
Everyone's gazes were fixed on the ink-black sword. They looked at it quietly, but it was as if they were looking at a living creature. It was like a sleeping dragon or a hibernating beast. It made people's hearts tremble for no reason.
"What a good Ink Spirit Sword. It's a mid-grade spirit weapon."
In the great hall, many gazes were fixed on Du Shaofu as the Ink Spirit Sword in his hand became heated. If it weren't for the presence of the Patriarch and the Second Master, there would probably be people who would not be able to resist the urge to charge up. A Middle Grade Spirit Artifact was something that an ordinary Pulsation Realm expert would not be able to afford even if they sold their entire fortune.
"Du Shaofu sure is lucky."
The owners of the heated gazes wanted nothing more than to tear Du Shaofu to shreds. Without a doubt, Du Shaofu's luck was too good this time. Ye Baolin's first move was a Middle Grade Spirit Artifact. One had to know that this Ink Spirit Sword was famous in the entire Stone City.
Du Zhixiong and Du Zhenwu's gazes also fell on the Ink Spirit Sword. They faintly smiled, but there were serious doubts in their eyes, as if they were thinking about something.
In this world, there were Spirit Artifacts, Talisman Artifacts, Magic Artifacts, Dao Artifacts, and Saint Artifacts. In fact, these were all weapons. However, weapons that had reached the Spirit Artifact level could not be compared to those ordinary items. They had all reached the level of treasures.
Spirit Artifacts, Talisman Artifacts, Magic Artifacts, Dao Artifacts, and Saint Artifacts. Every single one of them was further divided into the Elementary Grade, Middle Grade, and High Grade. According to legend, those Magic Artifacts and Dao Artifacts already possessed the might to move mountains and overturn seas. If they were refined by an expert for their own use, they would be capable of penetrating the heavens and earth and shaking mountains and rivers.
As a martial artist, a good weapon could naturally greatly increase one's strength. If two people of similar strength had a weapon that was much stronger than the other, then the chances of winning would naturally be more than 99%.
Du Shaofu knew that this Ink Spirit Sword was not ordinary. From the surprised voices in the great hall, he could tell that this Ink Spirit Sword was a Middle Grade Spirit Artifact. Although it was only a Middle Grade Spirit Artifact, its value was already shocking. This time, the Ye Family was extremely generous.
"It seems like I have not cultivated any sword martial techniques."
However, he had not cultivated any sword martial techniques. Currently, he had no use for this Ink Spirit Sword. Sheathing the sword, Du Shaofu put the Ink Spirit Sword back into the brocade box under the blazing gazes of the crowd.
The blazing gazes were somewhat restrained this time. If Du Shaofu had this Ink Spirit Sword in his hands two months ago, not to mention those of the same generation who would fight for it, even the elders of the Du Family who were currently seated would definitely put aside their pride to fight for it.
"Family Head, Elders, Du Hao and the rest have all arrived."
At this moment, those gossipy women who had hurriedly gone to confront the others hurriedly returned. Every one of them had a cold smile on their faces, waiting for Du Shaofu to be unable to explain himself. They were afraid that in front of the truth, there was absolutely no room for denial.
"Greetings, Patriarch. Greetings, Elders."
Du Hao, Du Yan and the rest had all arrived. Instantly, they bowed towards the Family Head and the elders of the Du Family, feeling wronged. Every one of them was wrapped in gauze and their faces were smeared with ointment. From the looks of it, before coming here, they had definitely dressed up meticulously.
"Family Head, Elders, Du Shaofu has gone too far. He ruthlessly beat us up and even stole our belongings. Family Head, Elders, please uphold justice for us."
After more than ten young men and women who were wrapped up meticulously bowed, Du Hao was the first to kneel down. His face was filled with grievance, and his eyes were almost watery, making him look very pitiful.
"Family Head, Elders, please uphold justice for us and severely punish the murderer, Du Shaofu."
Du Yan and the rest immediately followed Du Hao and kneeled down. All the spearheads were naturally focused on Du Shaofu. Indeed, they were all beaten up by Du Shaofu. This could not be considered unjust. They were also beaten up quite badly.
The few elders were visibly moved as they looked at Du Zhenwu, waiting for him to speak. These injuries were indeed real, and the beating was not light. It was just that the bandages were a little overdone, but that was purely for visual effect. It did not affect the vicious gazes of the experts present. Du Hao and the others were not lightly beaten, definitely not lightly.
Du Zhenwu and Du Zhixiong looked at Du Hao and the rest. Their gazes also changed slightly. They naturally could see that Du Hao, Du Yan and the rest had suffered a lot.
Du Zhenwu looked at Du Shaofu and calmly asked, "Shaofu, do you have any explanation?"
"Yes."
Du Shaofu nodded. Looking at Du Hao and the rest who were kneeling on the ground in front of him, he opened his mouth and said, "Didn't you say that Du Hao, Du Yan and the rest were beaten up by me to the point where they could not get out of bed for a year and a half? Why did they come out now?"
How could Du Shaofu not know the severity of the people he beat up? Although he didn't beat them lightly, it was impossible for him to really beat up those guys.
"This …"
Hearing Du Shaofu's words, Du Hao and the rest of the gossipy women were suddenly speechless.
In fact, the Du Family members present already knew in their hearts that it was a bit exaggerated to say that Du Hao and the rest would not be able to get out of the house for a year and a half. However, this was only a modifier. It proved that Du Hao and the rest were really beaten up badly. Who would have thought that Du Shaofu would actually go off topic and use this sentence to make an issue out of it, leaving them somewhat speechless.
"Du Shaofu, what does this have to do with you mercilessly bullying your brothers and sisters? Now that the facts are in front of you, do you still want to deny it? " A somewhat fierce looking woman stepped forward bravely. She did not want to be involved with Du Shaofu on these unrelated issues.
Du Shaofu looked at the woman, his calm and clear eyes suddenly became fierce. He said in a deep voice, "How can it not be related? You said that Du Hao and the rest were beaten up by me to the point where they could not get out of bed and could not get out of the house. Now it seems that you are obviously lying. You are wronging me. As the saying goes, if there is a first, there will be a second. Therefore, you said that I beat up Du Hao and the rest, you are also wronging me.
"Du Shaofu, you …"
Hearing Du Shaofu's words, the woman was so angry that she almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Du Shaofu, you are denying it."
"Du Shaofu, you are pestering endlessly. Clearly, you are the one who was merciless and seriously injured Yan 'er and the rest."
"… …"
One by one, the gossipy women began to criticize Du Shaofu. How could they allow Du Shaofu to deny it?
Du Shaofu looked at the gossipy gossipy women. His clear eyes were filled with fierceness. He said, "You are all my elders. Now, so many elders are bullying me, besieging me, and framing me. It doesn't matter if I am wronged or wronged by you, but if this spread out, don't you think that the Du Family's face will be lost because of you?"
"… … …"
When the gossipy gossipy women heard this, their voices came to an abrupt stop. Their faces turned red, and blood flowed out from the corners of their mouths.
