Inside the Zhang family courtyard.

Jiang Gubei, pale and emaciated, knelt weakly in the Jiang family's main hall. After that night's fierce battle, Jiang Gubei seemed to have been drained of all his energy.

Sitting in front of Jiang Gubei were Zhang Zhentian, the head of the Zhang family, Zhang Liufang, the eldest son of the Zhang family, Zhang Liusu, the second son, Zhang Liunian, the third son, Zhang An'an, the youngest sister of the Zhang family, and some other important figures.

Zhang Zhentian took a sip of tea, glancing sideways at Jiang Gubei kneeling on the ground with nothing but mockery in his eyes.

He couldn't understand why his youngest daughter, who came from a martial arts family, would fall for someone from a business family.

In the eyes of families that practice martial arts and Taoism, families that engage in business are like ants, something that cannot be brought to the table.

What's more, these families even go so far as to invite third-rate martial artists abandoned by other martial arts families to provide them with protection, treating those third-rate martial artists like ancestors. This makes Zhang Zhentian even more contemptuous of these families.

Not only Zhang Zhentian had a mocking expression on his face, but the other members of the Zhang family also wore expressions full of ridicule.

No one respected this plaything of the second sister of the Zhang family.

"Dad, Gu Bei and I are truly in love."

"And now Gu Bei is also willing to marry into our Zhang family."

"Hurry up and help Gu Bei get up."

Zhang Zhenzhen pleaded with Zhang Zhentian from the side.

Upon hearing Zhang Zhenzhen's words, her eldest and second eldest brothers frantically gave her meaningful glances.

"Zhenzhen, how could I not know whether this guy truly loves you or not?"

"He is the second-generation scion of the Jiang family."

Zhang Liufang chimed in from the side.

“Father, I verified Jiang Gubei’s sincerity yesterday. Jiang Gubei truly loves my younger sister.”

Hearing his eldest son's words and seeing his youngest daughter's pitiful eyes, Zhang Zhentian's heart softened.

He said this to Jiang Gubei in a calm tone.

"Get up!"

“But Jiang Gubei, you need to know that you are marrying into our Zhang family. You must obey my youngest daughter, Zhenzhen. If you dare to make my youngest daughter unhappy in the slightest…”

"Then my Zhang family can cripple you at any time!!!"

"Dad, I love you."

Zhang Zhenzhen excitedly hugged Zhang Zhentian.

Seeing his daughter, who looked like an elephant, charging towards him, Zhang Zhentian jumped up from his chair and dodged to the side.

If Zhang Zhentian were to be hugged by Zhang Zhenzhen, he might end up with a broken rib, just like Jiang Gubei.

"snort!"

"Dad, I'm not happy at all that you won't let me hug you."

Zhang Zhenzhen was so angry that she crossed her arms and stomped her feet.

Zhang Zhentian was secretly relieved that he had escaped a disaster.

He then asked Jiang Gubei.

"Tell me, what is your demand?"

"revenge!!!"

"My only request is that you avenge my dead father!!!"

Jiang Gubei said coldly, his eyes filled with furious flames.

"What? You mean your father, Jiang Shang, is dead?"

Zhang Zhentian looked slightly surprised when he heard the news.

However, things quickly returned to calm.

"That's right!"

"My father was killed by a guy named Niu Dachun!"

"I'm going to get revenge on that Niu Dachun!"

As Jiang Gubei spoke, he suddenly knelt down on the ground again.

"As long as you can avenge my father, I'm willing to do anything, even have your family be our slaves."

After the ordeal of last night, Jiang Gubei had long since let go of everything. Now, all he cared about was avenging his father.

"Gu Bei, get up quickly."

“With me here, they won’t dare to treat you like a slave.” Zhang Zhenzhen helped Jiang Gubei up.

"Liu Fang, Liu Su, Liu Nian, which of you should go and resolve this matter for your brother-in-law?"

"Wait a minute, aren't you going to ask who I, Niu Dachun, am?"

Jiang Gubei said in surprise.

Upon hearing Jiang Gubei's words, Zhang Zhentian, Zhang Liusu, and Zhang Liunian couldn't help but laugh.

Zhang Liunian gave Jiang Gubei a mocking look and said.

"Please don't casually compare your Jiang family with our martial arts family, the Zhang family. I could wipe out your Jiang family with the flick of a finger."

"Do you think those third-rate martial artists your Jiang family keeps can beat anyone? Those guys are only good at business, but in the martial arts world, they wouldn't even be worthy of licking my shoes."

"That guy only managed to run into your Jiang family. If he had run into our Zhang family, I would have made him bloom into a bloody flower in no time."

Looking at Zhang Liunian in front of him, Jiang Gubei felt an overwhelming pressure that made it hard for him to breathe, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Jiang Gubei couldn't imagine how badly his family's martial artists would be humiliated if they encountered the real martial artists from the Zhang family.

Zhang Liusu, standing to the side, said lazily.

"Then I'll leave the task of helping my brother-in-law get revenge to you."

"I've been busy breaking through to the peak of martial arts these past few days, so I don't have time to deal with these meaningless little things."

With that, Zhang Liusu hummed a little tune and left the hall.

"snort!"

"Second brother is the worst. I'm going to punch him in the chest with my little fists later."

Zhang Zhenzhen said angrily.

“Zhenzhen, Liusu is right.”

“Helping Jiang Gubei take revenge is a meaningless thing in itself.”

"Moreover, our opponent is from Cangning County. That wretched county town hasn't produced a single martial artist in a hundred years. For us, a prestigious martial arts family, to deal with such trash is simply an insult to us."
