28: Strange things happen every year, but this year there are more

Everyone’s eyes widened, staring in disbelief at the scene before them.

Did Chen Zaian just slap his grandson, Chen Haobin?

And that slap was incredibly vicious.

His blood and teeth were knocked out!

This left everyone in disbelief.

Strange things happen every year, but this year is exceptionally full of them!

Why is this happening?

“Ah?”

Jiang Ying blinked.

She had thought something serious was about to happen.

Why did Chen Zaian turn around and slap his own grandson?

Dean Qin Zhenhai was also utterly bewildered.

When he saw Chen Haobin beaten to such a state, and then recalled that Chen Zaian had specifically come for Chu Yunxuan by name.

He had a feeling that Chu Yunxuan was in trouble!

However, the next scene left him completely dumbfounded.

This plot… isn’t right, is it?

Chen Haobin was even more stunned.

No…

The person who arrived was his grandfather, Chen Zaian.

Why was he the one getting hit?

Huh?

“You scoundrel! Kneel to Chu Yunxuan and apologize!”

Chen Zaian pointed at his grandson, Chen Haobin, and roared.

Everyone: ???

They exchanged bewildered glances.

Their Faces were full of confusion.

Apologize to Chu Yunxuan?

Why?

And for what reason?

Even if they went back ten thousand steps, no matter what happened, even if Chen Haobin was in the wrong.

Why would he need to apologize to Chu Yunxuan?

And even kneel?

“Grandpa, I, your grandson! Chen Haobin!”

Chen Haobin looked at Chen Zaian, utterly confused.

“Slap—”

Chen Zaian slapped him again with a backhand.

Chen Zaian angrily said, “Do I need to tell you a third time? Kneel down for me! Apologize to Chu Yunxuan!”

Everyone: ???

“No… why? I’m the one who was bullied.”

“Thud—”

The next instant, Chen Zaian kicked him from behind at his knee joint.

Chen Haobin immediately knelt before Chu Yunxuan.

“I said, apologize!”

Chen Zaian roared again.

“Crack, crack, crack—”

Chen Haobin clenched his fists tightly.

Why!

What on earth is going on!

What did he do wrong?

Even if he did something wrong!

His own grandfather is the President of the Bounty Hunter Guild!

He’s making him kneel and apologize to Chu Yunxuan in front of so many people?

Huh?

“Hurry up!”

Chen Zaian roared.

Chen Haobin clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and lowered his head.

“I’m sorry…”

Everyone was completely bewildered.

Then, Chen Zaian looked at Chu Yunxuan, revealing a fawning smile.

“Chu Yunxuan, I’m truly sorry, my grandson is ignorant and spoiled. Please be more tolerant of any offenses.”

Everyone: ???

“Whoosh—”

Everyone was in an uproar.

“What the hell? What happened? Who exactly is Chen Zaian’s grandson?”

“Why does Chen Zaian seem so wary of Chu Yunxuan? Why? He’s the President of the Tianhua City Bounty Hunter Guild.”

“Does Chu Yunxuan have a background? No, he only has a powerful older sister.”

“I’m dumbfounded, what the hell? That’s Chen Zaian.”

“Chen Haobin came over aggressively to challenge, and ended up like this?”

“…”

Chu Yunxuan then said, “It’s best not to let him run around freely when there’s nothing wrong in the future.”

Chen Haobin clenched his fists tightly.

What does he mean?

Treating me like a dog?

Chen Zaian had a fawning smile, “You are right!”

Then he angrily shouted at Chen Haobin, “Did you hear that!?”

“I heard it,” Chen Haobin said weakly.

Jiang Ying’s beautiful eyes looked at Chu Yunxuan with curiosity.

Quite interesting.

Pretty handsome.

“Ding… Jiang Ying’s favorability towards you +3, current favorability: 20.”

“Get lost immediately! You’re embarrassing me!”

Chen Zaian roared again.

Chen Haobin, with a dark expression, got up and walked away.

Then, Chen Zaian stretched out his hand.

His spatial ring flashed.

A fiery red sword appeared in his hand.

The moment the sword appeared, everyone around could clearly feel the temperature rising.

“Cough, cough, Chu Yunxuan, this is for you.”

Chen Zaian handed the sword to Chu Yunxuan.

Everyone: ???

“Ah? The Yan Yang Sword? That’s an Earth Rank Three-star Spiritual Artifact! In all of Tianhua City, besides this Yan Yang Sword, I don’t know if there’s any other Earth Rank Spiritual Weapon.”

“He gave it to Chu Yunxuan? He just gave it to Chu Yunxuan like that? What the hell?”

“I’m bewildered! What on earth happened? Could it be that Chen Zaian’s wife or daughter-in-law took a fancy to Chu Yunxuan? So in order to keep Chu Yunxuan away from them, he had no choice but to do this? I can only think of this reason to explain everything that’s happening.”

“Most likely, and it makes sense considering what happens to Chu Yunxuan.”

“…”

Chu Yunxuan feigned ignorance and asked, “For me?”

“Yes! For you!”

Chen Zaian quickly nodded.

Then Chu Yunxuan shook his head and said, “I don’t want it.”

Everyone stared longingly at the Yan Yang Sword.

Huh?

Someone gives it to you and you don’t want it?

Qin Zhenhai was also utterly bewildered.

Was he still half-asleep?

“This is the Earth Rank Three-star Yan Yang Sword,” Chen Zaian hurriedly said.

Chu Yunxuan shook his head, “Then I still don’t want it.”

“Why not?” Chen Zaian asked.

“It’s a hot potato, and showing kindness for no reason means there’s something fishy, I wouldn’t dare take it,” Chu Yunxuan said.

Chen Zaian became anxious.

If he didn’t give this sword away, then the powerful person who cursed him would surely take his life!

When he first arrived and saw his grandson speaking disrespectfully to Chu Yunxuan.

His heart sank.

He was afraid of angering the powerful person behind Chu Yunxuan.

That’s why he quickly made Chen Haobin kneel and apologize!

He certainly lost Face!

But which is more important, Face or life?

“Chu Yunxuan, please take it. I don’t want you to do anything, and I don’t need you to pay any price, truly! It’s purely because I feel a connection with you and want to give it to you! Please take it.”

Chen Zaian said with a bitter expression.

“President Chen, do you believe that yourself?” Chu Yunxuan asked.

“Truly, truly!”

Chen Zaian was dying of anxiety.

“Chu Yunxuan, I swear! I swear in front of all these people that I have no ulterior motives, nor will I have any schemes! I’m simply giving you this sword, truly!”

Jiang Ying then secretly pointed at Chu Yunxuan and looked at Xiao Qiyue.

Her meaning was clear.

Did he… get involved with Chen Zaian’s daughter-in-law?

Xiao Qiyue shrugged her shoulders, indicating she didn’t know.

“Still not appropriate.”

Chu Yunxuan shook his head.

“Thud—”

Chen Zaian directly knelt before Chu Yunxuan.

“Please just accept it! I beg you! Consider it me begging you! Please just accept it.”

Everyone’s mouths hung open.

Jiang Ying held up two fingers to Xiao Qiyue.

Meaning…

Judging by the situation, it might not just be his daughter-in-law, but at least two people.

Xiao Qiyue pondered for a moment, then quietly nodded in agreement.

“President Chen, there’s no need,” Chu Yunxuan said.

Chen Zaian eagerly said, “There is a need! There is a need, please accept it! I beg you!”

“Alright, then I’ll accept it,”

Chu Yunxuan reached out and took the Yan Yang Sword.

Seeing this, Chen Zaian let out a long sigh of relief.

That’s great!

That’s really great!

Then Chu Yunxuan looked at the Yan Yang Sword in his hand and muttered, “But I don’t need it. I’d rather have a spatial ring.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Zaian quickly pulled out a spatial ring.

“I have one! Here.”

Chu Yunxuan scratched his head, then grinned, “How embarrassing.”

“There’s nothing to be embarrassed about, take it! I, Chen Zaian, want to be friends with you!”

Chu Yunxuan cupped his fist, “President Chen is so sincere, I, Chu Yunxuan, will also be friends with President Chen!”

“Whoosh—”

Chen Zaian let out a long sigh of relief.

He finally survived.

“Well, if there’s nothing else, you all continue, I’ll be leaving now, farewell!”

Chen Zaian then hurriedly left.

Leaving behind the bewildered crowd.

This was probably the strangest day they had ever experienced.
