Seeing Wang Zheng's unmistakable bullying demeanor, Duan Zhengkai took a deep breath.
"Young Master Wang, I admit that I was young and ignorant before. I was blind to your greatness and was deceived. I offended you without knowing what was good for me."
But look, you killed the main culprit, I've already paid compensation, and I haven't let my elders cause any trouble. How do you think this matter should be settled?
Upon hearing that Zheng Kai wanted to settle their score, Wang Zheng smiled.
"Being deceived? You didn't say that before..."
Hearing Wang Zheng say this, Duan Zhengkai realized that this guy in front of him was indeed planning to take revenge on him. He gritted his teeth and said defiantly:
"I shouldn't have done this, I should have done this. It's all my fault for offending you first. No matter what, I'll accept whatever you've said today!"
Wang Zheng was also somewhat surprised when he saw Duan Zhengkai's appearance.
It seems that no matter how bad a person was before, they are not necessarily immune to change. However, whether they have truly submitted or are just pretending, we still need to test them.
So Wang Zheng picked at the non-existent dust under his fingernails and said casually:
“I think what Duan Shao said makes some sense. After all, our parents have known each other for a while, and I don’t want things to get too ugly. So let’s just do as you said before and cut off both of our arms. That’s the end of it.”
After saying that, Wang Zheng took the Miao sword out of his storage space, twirled it in his hand, and then stuck it at Duan Zhengkai's feet.
Wang Zheng casually tossed the sharp blade, and it pierced more than half a meter deep.
Even though Duan Zhengkai was still some distance away from the Miao sword, he could still feel the chilling aura emanating from it.
Wang Zheng didn't even glance at him, and continued:
"Think it through carefully. I'm not forcing you; it's all voluntary. If you can't bring yourself to do it, you can just pretend I never said anything. It's okay..."
Wang Zheng's casual remark immediately darkened Duan Zhengkai's face.
He had his legs broken by Wang Zheng last time, and it took him several months to recover, which caused him to fall behind in his cultivation. Now he has to go through this again, and he has to completely cut off his own hand. It will probably take even longer to recover.
But if he didn't do as he was told, then according to Wang Zheng, the matter wouldn't be over, and he would definitely retaliate against him later.
Can I stop him? Or should I hide in the capital for the rest of my life?
Or should we just tell the truth and let Mom handle it?
With a wicked thought rising in his mind, Duan Zhengkai secretly glanced up at Wang Zheng.
At this moment, Wang Zheng crossed his arms, seemingly completely unconcerned, just smiling as he looked at him, as if waiting for his decision.
But that smile looked so fake, it even sent chills down your spine.
Duan Zhengkai glanced at Wang Zheng's forced smile, then at the ring on his hand emitting a strange fluctuation, but his gaze lingered most on the long sword on the ground, which gleamed with a cold light and was even better than the one his own father used.
At that moment, most of the anger in his heart subsided.
Although my mom can protect me for a while, she can't protect me forever. This bastard is so fearless; he must have something to rely on.
Moreover, Mom is currently at a crucial stage of her transformation. If she really falls out with the Wang family because of Wang Zheng, and Wang Shengrong comes after her to kill her, according to Old Pang, Mom and Dad will definitely be in danger as well...
Damn it, it's just two arms, I gave them to them!
It's not like I can't keep up. At worst, I can stop practicing martial arts for a year and focus on that visualization method.
Anyway, the teacher said that this technique would help me improve my mental strength and contract with exotic beasts. I might as well take this time to calm down and build up my relationship with the fourth-grade exotic beast, the Cheese Snow Leopard, that my mom gave me.
Duan Zhengkai kept weighing the pros and cons in his mind, finding various excuses to comfort himself, trying to convince himself that he was not at a loss.
Then, after steeling his resolve, he finally made up his mind.
He picked up the Miao knife from the ground and lifted it with some difficulty.
"Let's do as Young Master Wang says, it's a deal!"
Having said that, he closed his eyes and was about to slash the long sword at his own arm...
In the blink of an eye, a crisp "ding" was heard, followed by a tremendous reaction force emanating from the Miao sword.
Duan Zhengkai subconsciously opened his eyes and saw that Wang Zheng, who had just been standing in the distance, had reached out and grabbed the blade that he was about to slash down.
Duan Zhengkai, who had finally mentally prepared himself for the possibility of losing both arms, suddenly collapsed to his knees with a thud in front of Wang Zheng.
The strength in my heart dissipated, and I felt completely drained, unable to stand up any longer.
At this moment, Duan Zhengkai's face was as pale as paper. The feeling of surviving a disaster made his heart pound violently, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.
Seeing Duan Zhengkai's expression, Wang Zheng had already made up his mind. He took the Miao knife from Duan's hand and then said calmly:
"Forget it, let bygones be bygones. Considering the relationship between our two families, I won't pursue it any further."
However, people shouldn't go unpunished when they do wrong. I'll prepare those 100 spirit crystals I just mentioned before I leave the capital. After that, we'll be even. Young Master Duan, take care of yourself..."
Upon hearing this, Duan Zhengkai's expression immediately turned even more bitter.
"100? When did I start owing this? Where am I supposed to find so many spirit crystals? Can I pay in installments?"
Wang Zheng was so angry he laughed.
