"Shaofu, it was all Auntie's fault. You have to forgive Auntie."
"Shaofu, quickly take a seat. I have a few healing pills here that will help you recover your Xuan Qi. Quickly take them."
In the Du family's hall, those gossipy women who had made things difficult for Du Shaofu in the past were now standing beside Du Shaofu with flushed faces, smiling awkwardly.
"You are all my elders. I have long forgotten what happened in the past."
As the saying goes, one does not hit a smiling face. Du Shaofu knew that these gossipy women were not bad people. They were just overly protective of their children, just like how his Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle would protect him. Therefore, Du Shaofu naturally would not be so stingy. After all, he would not suffer any losses.
"A bunch of bastards, come over here."
A loud shout resounded through the hall. An old man pulled Du Hao to Du Shaofu's side. Behind Du Hao, there were Du Yan and the others who usually hung out with Du Hao, Du Yan, Du Gui and the others. However, there was no doubt that they had been taught a lesson by Du Shaofu.
"Great Elder."
When the old man appeared, everyone in the Du family immediately saluted. Du Guangyao, the Great Elder of the Du family, had an extremely high status in the Du family. He was also one of the elders of the Du family. His status was not much lower than the patriarch's.
"Great Elder."
Du Shaofu knew the Great Elder. However, since young, he had the impression that the Great Elder was not very talkative. Today, the Great Elder was also present in the square.
"Shaofu, I have brought this group of bastards here. Let them apologize to you properly."
The Great Elder looked at Du Shaofu with a very gentle expression. Then, he turned around and glared at Du Hao and the others behind him. However, his temper was extremely bad. He said, "A bunch of bastards, you used to bully Shaofu. If it was not for Shaofu, I am afraid that many of your bones would have been broken. This time, if it was not for Shaofu, how could our Du family win the championship? Could it be that we relied on you guys? Qin family, Bai family, Ye family, and Jian family, which one of them is not better than you?"
Du Hao, Du Gui, Du Yan and the others were reprimanded by the Great Elder..
"Great Elder, they are still children, let's forget about it..
. "Du Zhenwu, Du Zhixiong and the others had all come up. Du Hao was the grandson of the Great Elder. Now that the Great Elder had personally come to express his attitude, the meaning was different.
"If we don't beat these bastards up, I am afraid that our future in this life will be ruined. How can we strengthen and prosper our Du family?"
The Great Elder did not give Du Zhenwu and Du Zhixiong too much face. He angrily pulled Du Hao's ear and directly pulled him in front of Du Shaofu. He said, "Hurry up and apologize to your cousin Shaofu. In the future, let your cousin Shaofu properly guide you bunch of good-for-nothings. Perhaps in the future, he will be able to contribute a little to strengthen our Du family."
"Cousin Shaofu, we were wrong in the past …"
"Please forgive us, cousin Shaofu."
Du Hao, Du Gui and Du Yan did not dare to disobey. They all lowered their heads and admitted their mistakes.
"I have already forgotten about those things. We are all disciples of the Du family. There is no need to be like this."
Du Shaofu was not a petty person. He nodded at Du Hao and the others. After all, they were all disciples of the Du family.
"That's right. Behave yourselves in the future."
The Great Elder let Du Hao go. A smile appeared on his aged face. He then said to Du Shaofu, "Shaofu, these good-for-nothing cousins of yours are not as good as you. You don't need to bicker with these good-for-nothings. In the future, find some time to guide them. Don't let them go out and embarrass the Du family."
"The Great Elder is not old. His mind is clearer than anyone else."
Du Zhenwu, Du Zhixiong and the others sighed inwardly. They were all secretly admiring the Great Elder. It seemed that the Great Elder was favoring them and even fawning over Du Shaofu. But in fact, it was for Du Hao and the others. Of course, this was also for the entire Du family.
"The Great Elder is too serious."
Du Shaofu nodded. How could Du Shaofu not see through the Great Elder's thoughts? He also admired and respected the Great Elder in his heart.
"Good boy, Tingxuan has a good son. Our Du family is fortunate."
The Great Elder nodded. His eyes flashed with a sharp light. Then, he left the hall under the escort of the crowd.
At dusk, the sun slowly penetrated the thin layer of clouds and turned into a red ball. The red clouds spread in all directions and covered half the sky. Layer by layer, they gradually faded until the sky became greyish white.
Du Shaofu returned to the courtyard. It was rare for his drunkard father to stay at home. However, he still hugged the wine jug and gently leaned on the rattan chair, looking at the setting sun.
"Why is the wine jug I bought for you useless?" Du Shaofu walked to his drunkard father's side and sat down on the rattan chair. He also looked at the setting sun.
"After using it for a long time, I developed feelings for it. I can't bear to throw it away."
Du Tingxuan didn't say a word. He opened the wine jug's stopper and took a big sip of wine.
Du Shaofu continued to look at the setting sun. After a moment, he softly said, "Today, in the competition between the younger generation of the five great families, I won."
Du Tingxuan didn't say anything. The father and son just sat there quietly, but it looked very warm.
"Have a drink."
After a moment of silence, Du Tingxuan handed the wine jug in his hand to Du Shaofu.
Du Shaofu took the wine jug and drank a big mouthful. A burning feeling passed through his throat, and then a breath of wine came out. After a burp, he returned the wine jug to his drunkard father.
"Stone Castle is too small." Du Shaoting took the wine jug and continued to lean on the rattan chair.
"If there is a chance, I will go outside and take a look," Du Shaofu said.
"It's too big outside," Du Tingxuan said again.
Du Shaofu didn't say anything, and neither did Du Tingxuan. The father and son quietly sat like this for a long time.
It wasn't until night completely covered the sky that Du Shaofu returned to his room.
Stone Castle was bustling with noise in the night.
"I can't accept this, I can't accept this."
At home, Chuo Long's eyes were lost and his expression was gloomy. He couldn't accept today's result.
"That Du Shaofu and Cao Qitai are both very strong. Their talents are terrifying, especially that Du Shaofu. He is too abnormal." Chuo Long's expression was gloomy.
Qiang Qingsong sat upright with a gloomy expression on his face. Soon after, a cold smile appeared on his lips as he looked at Chuo Long and said, "Chuo Long, focus on healing your injuries. Victory or defeat doesn't matter. We still have a chance, a great chance. What's the point of cultivating in the lightning pool? Obtaining the mysterious bones and blood essence left behind by that existence is the most important thing. As long as you can obtain them, it will be enough to trample Du Shaofu and Cao Qitai under your feet. Even among your peers in the entire empire, it will be enough for you to contend for supremacy!"
"Yes, I still have a chance. Compared to the mysterious bones and essence blood left behind by that existence, the lightning pool is nothing. Let that Du Shaofu test the waters first. As long as I can obtain the mysterious bones and essence blood of the lightning lion, I will be able to change my situation. In the future, no one will be able to compete with me!" Chuo Long's face suddenly revealed a cold smile. …
In the courtyard, the night was enchanting.
"I didn't think that Du Shaofu would be so strong. Unbelievable." Qin Zongqiong stood with his hands behind his back. His expression wasn't very good.
"Father, what should we do now?" Qin Xiaolu's delicate face was somewhat pale. She seemed to have lost all color.
Qin Zongqiong paced back and forth, then said, "Wait. The Chuo Clan and the Bai Clan are waiting. We will also wait. Wait for them to make a move. Wait for the Ye Clan to make a move. We will also wait for the Cao Clan to make a move. The Cao Clan won't give up so easily."
"Brothers, tomorrow will be the day of the auction. As usual, there will be a great explosion tomorrow. Brothers and sisters, please support us tomorrow. "
