Chapter 18: Bringing Shame Upon Oneself

  The voice of the White Dragon was not intentionally lowered, and it was heard by all the people surrounding him, for a time they all showed a playful smile, quietly watching the changes in the scene, wanting to see how Du Fei Yun would react.

  Before Du Fei Yun could speak, Liu Zhong, the steward of the Liu family, stepped forward and blocked his path, his face cold and stern as he gazed at Bai Long. His voice was icy as he said: "Young Master Bai, today Young Master Du is here to participate in the clan comparison as a member of our Liu family, so please restrain yourself and do not be rude!"

  As soon as this was said, the white dragon was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing, pointing at Du Feiyun with one hand, his face full of contempt: "Haha, is he going to represent the Liu family in the clan comparison conference? Haha, it's really laughable! He's not even as good as that waste Liu Heng, and yet he still wants to participate in the comparison? This mongrel would be a target for me even if he got on stage!"

  Bai Long's face turned red with rage as he burst out laughing, Du Fei Yun's eyes turned cold, a hint of mockery in his smile, and then said indifferently: "Trash? That's still better than the kind that falls into the toilet pit, what do you think, Young Master Bai Long?"

  One day last year, Baidong got drunk and chased after a servant girl in the backyard, but accidentally fell into a toilet pit. The news spread throughout Baishi Town and became a laughing stock.

  As soon as this was said, the onlookers also burst out laughing, and one by one they looked at White Dragon with strange expressions. White Dragon's loud laughter suddenly stopped, his face turned black in an instant, and a pair of narrow long eyes gleamed with cold light as he glared at Du Feiyun, gritting his teeth and cursing: "You dog bastard, I'll skin you alive! You wait for me, once we get on the arena, I'll definitely beat you until you kneel down and beg for mercy, if I don't cripple you, I'm useless!"

  When the white dragon spoke such venomous words, the onlookers were all stunned and stopped smiling, feeling some sympathy for Du Feiyun. After all, White Dragon's spoiled habits far surpassed those of Qin Shaoxiaoye, Qin Shouyi, and the people of Baishi Town avoided him like a ghost.

  Du Feiyun's mouth curled up slightly, and he said with a playful smile: "I'm really looking forward to seeing you kneel down and beg for mercy, I hope you won't disappoint me!"

  When he finished speaking, Du Fei Yun no longer looked at Bai Long's iron-green face, turned around and took Liu Zhong to pay respects to the Liu family. There, Mrs. Liu and Liu Xiang Tian were already seated, paying attention to the situation here.

  Inside the cool shed, Mrs. Liu and Liu Xiangtian sat in the front row, while behind them were four young members of the Liu family: Liu Xiangtian's eldest son, Liu Heng, and his three cousins. When they saw Liu Zhong bring Du Feiyun over, Mrs. Liu smiled warmly and invited Du Feiyun to sit down, but Liu Xiangtian was cold and distant, not even glancing at him as he surveyed the Qin and Bai families nearby.

  As for Liu Xiangtian's nephew, Liu Heng, he had a look of disdain on his face, with disgust in his eyes as he stared straight at Du Feiyun.

  Everyone's reaction fell into Du Feiyun's eyes, he ignored it and calmly came to sit beside Mrs. Liu, his gaze swept across the scene, observing the younger generation of the Bai and Qin families.

  "Hmph! A good-for-nothing who has disgraced the Liu family, and yet he dares to come here and make a fool of himself!" Seated behind Liu Xiangtian, Liu Heng gazed at Du Feiyun's back, his face complex as he muttered under his breath, his eyes filled with intense hatred.

  Obviously, as the young master of the Liu family, he was not trusted in his strength and instead needed the help of an outsider to participate in the clan comparison conference. He naturally felt humiliated, and his hatred for Du Feiyun grew even more intense.

  Liu Heng's voice was not loud, but it still fell into the ears of the people around him. The three Liu family misses beside him all had an expression of deep sympathy, looking at Du Feiyun with disdain. Liu Xiangtian remained calm and collected, his thoughts unknown, while only Old Lady Liu, who was currently briefing Du Feiyun on the situation of the other two families' younger generation, suddenly changed color.

  Du Feiyun's fists suddenly clenched under his sleeves, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. Mrs. Liu abruptly turned her head, her face sternly staring at Liu Heng, her voice severe as she scolded: "You wicked child, you don't cultivate yourself, idle away every day, can't bring glory to the Liu family, yet instead of repenting, you dare to utter malicious words, tonight when you return home, you'll be dealt with by the family law!"

  Seeing his own grandmother, who had always doted on him, suddenly fly into a rage and scold him, Liu Heng felt wronged in his heart and hated Du Feiyun even more. He looked up at Liu Xiangtian, hoping that his father would take his side, but Liu Xiangtian remained indifferent.

  At the age of thirteen, Liu Heng was spoiled by his parents every day. Today, he was scolded by his grandmother in front of everyone. He couldn't bear this kind of humiliation and glared at Du Feiyun with extreme anger before getting up to leave.

  Du Feiyun slowly stood up, his calm eyes gazing at Liu Heng with a hint of coldness.

  "Since Young Master Liu thinks I, Du Feiyun, am not worthy of participating in the family competition and believes my strength is lowly, then please let me see how much strength you have and what qualifications you have to look down on me?"

  Liu Hong suddenly stopped in his tracks, staring straight at Du Fei Yun. The stubborn teenager's anger burst forth as he glared at Du Fei Yun: "Hmph, if it weren't for Grandma favoring you, what qualifications do you have to stand here? With your mere Refining Body Fourth Layer strength, you dare to spout such arrogant words?"

  In the end, Liu Heng's knot was still about being upstaged by Du Feiyun at this family competition. Although he was young, he also knew that the Liu family had actually invited outsiders to participate in the family competition, and how the people of Baishi Town would mock him behind his back as the young master of the Liu family.

  "Too much talk, let me see your skills!" Du Feiyun's mouth corner revealed a hint of a sneer, disdainfully glancing at Liu Heng. Instantly, it again enraged Liu Heng, whose anger flared up. His heart surged with energy, and without hesitation, he twisted his waist and pounced towards Du Feiyun, his fists clenched tightly, carrying the wind as they smashed down towards Du Feiyun's face.

  This is the Liu family's inherited martial art, called Split Hanging Fist. When combined with Liu Heng's physical strength of five layers, it naturally has extraordinary power and a fierce gust of wind.

  "Stop!" Seeing the two of them come to blows at odds over a single word, both Old Lady Liu and Liu Xiangtian shouted in unison. After all, Liu Heng was unaware that these two had already reached the sixth layer of the Refining Body stage, just like Du Feiyun.

  How could Liu Heng stop halfway when he had already made up his mind to teach Du Feiyun a lesson and regain face?

  His massive fists instantly blasted to Du Fei Yun's face, just one inch away from his nose bridge. The next moment would have smashed into his nasal bone. But he saw a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and his feet suddenly shifted to the left for several feet, stepping on a floating and agile pace, ghostly flashing behind Liu Heng's back.

  Suddenly losing Du Feiyun's figure in front of him, Liu Heng secretly thought it was bad and hurriedly turned his waist to look back, but it was already too late. At the same time, a severe blow had arrived.

  In an instant, Du Feiyun flashed behind Liu Heng's back. The right arm that had been hanging at his side suddenly stretched out, with his palm flat and thrusting forward, carrying a fierce and powerful energy that instantly slapped Liu Heng's back. With the Flowing Water Palm Strike, Liu Heng was struck, and an overwhelming surge of primal energy burst forth in an instant, unleashing unmatched power that sent Liu Heng tumbling backward, rolling several zhang away before slowly coming to a stop.

  For a moment, the entire audience was silent, and many people who were paying attention to this scene were silently agape, staring incredulously at Du Feiyun's calm demeanor, then looking at Liu Heng, who was covered in dust and curled up on the ground, their hearts filled with shock and bewilderment.

  It happened suddenly, and many people did not expect Du Feiyun to fight with Liu Heng. When they looked over here, they only saw Du Feiyun standing calmly, and Liu Heng who had been knocked out of the pavilion and was lying on the ground in pain.

  Mrs. Liu and Liu Xiangtian were also stunned on the spot, their faces turning extremely ugly. Liu Xiangtian flashed out of the cool shed, leaving a residual shadow flying to Liu Heng's side, and quickly helped him up to examine his injuries.

  Mrs. Liu looked at Du Feiyun with a complex expression, then glanced at Liu Heng who was almost fainting with a pale face, her lips moved slightly, but in the end she just sighed and didn't say anything.

  Liu Xiangtian carried the nearly unconscious Liu Heng back to the cool shed, his eyes blazing with fury as he glared at Du Feiyun, his eyebrows twitching violently, clearly on the verge of losing control.

  "I won't offend anyone if no one offends me. Since someone has brought shame upon himself, I'll just have to teach him a lesson on behalf of the master of the Liu family. You won't blame me for this, will you, Master Liu?" Du Feiyun stood with his hands behind his back, completely ignoring Liu Xiangtian's furious gaze, his tone as calm and gentle as a cloud on a breezy day.

  As soon as this was said, even Old Lady Liu's expression changed slightly, worried that Liu Xiangtian would explode in anger and strike Du Feiyun. She hastily stepped forward two steps, blocking Du Feiyun's path.

  Liu Xiangtian gazed at Du Feiyun for a long time, his body trembling slightly with anger. After a while, he finally suppressed the flames of anger in his heart, turned away, and said in a low voice: "My son is disobedient, it's my fault for not teaching him well, don't bother yourself."

  Du Feiyun shrugged and stopped paying attention to him, turning around to sit down and continue observing the younger generations of the Qin and Bai families. Seeing that Liu Xiangtian had not lost his composure in his rage, Old Lady Liu also secretly let out a sigh of relief and hastily ordered the servants to send Liu Heng back to the Liu manor for treatment.

  There was a scene where many onlookers in the field were discussing and speculating about what had just happened, and for a time the field was filled with noise. Qin Wannian and Bai Yusheng also saw this scene, while secretly rejoicing at the misfortune of others, they were also quietly observing Du Feiyun, and many doubts arose in their hearts.

  At this moment, a middle-aged man in a blue robe ascended the platform along the steps. This person was Liu Zhuanggui from Baishizhen's Zhenbaozhai, who was invited by the three major families to preside over the family comparison meeting.

  After glancing around, seeing that the crowd had gradually quieted down, Liu Zhuanggui, who was stout and had a benevolent face, spoke in a loud and clear voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, the White Stone Town Grand Gathering, which is held once every ten years, and the family competition of the three major families, will now begin!"
