Despite strong insistence from Shang Yunze and Lin Zhixia, Chu Changliu still left.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell him, "You must go easy on me."
He clung to Zhou Ping with lingering affection, only letting go when Shang Yunze pulled him away.
"Wife, wife, I'm waiting for you to come find me!" Chu Changliu waved to Zhou Ping, almost bursting into tears.
Zhou Ping covered his face with one hand, somewhat helplessly, "I'll come find you tomorrow."
Chu Changliu was dragged away and, upon returning home, was subjected to a multi-faceted interrogation.
Lin Zhixia had already learned about their chat history from Shang Yunze. Having just changed her mind and accepted the boyfriend her son brought home yesterday, she instantly switched sides.
She reached out and grabbed Chu Changliu's cheek, somewhat annoyed, and demanded, "You were just fooled by one person like that?"
Chu Changliu exclaimed "Huh?" and then quickly shook his head. "No, I wasn't lied to."
What's going on? They look like they're about to interrogate me.
Did he do something wrong?
Lin Zhixia immediately grabbed Chu Changliu's shoulders with both hands, "You still say you weren't fooled? Your father told me everything!"
"You believe everything he says? That Zhou Ping... he claims to be a sword immortal? How could you fall for such a trick?" Lin Zhixia questioned him directly, and then said seriously, "In short, Mom doesn't approve of your relationship!"
Shang Yunze nodded in agreement, "Dad doesn't agree either. Look at the kind of person you've chosen!"
"And also, you just act like that with people..." Shang Yunze paused for a moment, then continued, "Yan Yan, you can't do that again!"
Chu Changliu never expected that the two people who originally shared the same inclination would all reject him at once.
His expression faltered slightly before he retorted, "I think I've found someone great... He's smart and capable, he does all the housework, and he takes good care of me when we go out... Apart from not being very good at cooking, there's nothing wrong with him."
Lin Zhixia and Shang Yunze exchanged a glance.
Lin Zhixia: Why didn't you tell me about this?
Shang Yunze: I was too busy being angry. Besides, my son hadn't mentioned this before.
However, Shang Yunze still didn't believe it. He snorted, "I've already called your uncle and his family. They own a martial arts school. Tomorrow I'll see if he's as good as you say!"
Chu Changliu had an expression that said it was indeed true. After hesitating for a moment, he advised, "Dad, maybe we shouldn't do it. Uncle is getting old..."
"How dare you talk like that, brat!" Shang Yunze thought Chu Changliu was siding with Zhou Ping and didn't want the two of them to clash. He snorted, "Don't you know you're still going strong even in your old age!"
Chu Changliu: ...
Regardless of the age, he was genuinely afraid that if he and Zhou Ping got into a fight, Zhou Ping might accidentally hurt one of the elderly people.
What should I say then?
Is this abuse of a 50-year-old?
Chu Changliu held back for a while before slowly speaking, and what he said was exactly what Shang Yunze didn't want to hear, "Dad, let alone Uncle, even if all three of Uncles attacked together, they might not be able to beat him..."
Upon hearing this, Shang Yunze blushed for two seconds. "Hey, you brat, why are you always boosting the morale of others while diminishing our own?"
"If he can beat your second uncle, then I'll believe he's really capable and isn't lying to me," Shang Yunze said, determined to test Zhou Ping.
If that person were just a showy but incompetent fighter, he would definitely get a beating, but that would also put an end to his covetousness towards his son.
Shang Yunze felt he had found an excellent method.
He was already getting impatient for tomorrow to come.
Hmph, if you dare to lie to his son, you'd better be prepared to get a beating!
Shang Yunze thought to himself.
The next day, Shang Yunze, along with Chu Changliu's three uncles whom he had contacted by phone the day before, headed towards the place he had agreed upon with Zhou Ping.
Zhou Ping hadn't expected that teaching him a lesson would require so many people to participate.
If Chu Changliu hadn't given him a heads-up yesterday, Zhou Ping might have really gone too far this time.
Because of some reservations, Zhou Ping only knocked the three uncles unconscious and put them on the ground.
Shang Yunze, who witnessed the whole thing from behind, wiped his eyes.
What just happened?
In just a split second, these three older brothers were taken down?
Are you kidding me?
For a moment, Shang Yunze even wondered if he was dreaming.
It wasn't until Zhou Ping coughed twice that Shang Yunze was brought back to his senses.
Zhou Ping stepped forward, a warm smile on his face.
Shang Yunze took a step back without changing his expression. "What are you doing?"
Is this kid going to beat him up too?
Shang Yunze swallowed hard, thinking to himself, "I should have brought more people with me today."
“Uncle, Yan Yan is right.” Zhou Ping didn’t know how to demonstrate his abilities to gain acceptance, so he simply reached out and took Shang Yunze for a spin in the air.
After landing on the ground, he helped Shang Yunze, whose legs were weak and unsteady, and patiently explained, "I really am... a sword immortal."
Shang Yunze was somewhat dazed. When he landed on the ground, he reached out and patted Zhou Ping on the shoulder.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Ping asked, somewhat puzzled.
"You're an immortal?" This world is too crazy. There really are sword immortals?
Only through personal experience can one truly believe, and Shang Yunze now completely believes it.
Shang Yunze was somewhat annoyed. He regretted saying, "If you were a sword immortal, I would worship you!" because now he had really been proven wrong.
Seeing Shang Yunze's face turn red and white, Zhou Ping seemed to have guessed it all along. He mustered up his courage and said, "Uncle, I really didn't lie to you. Did I lie to Xiaoyan? Can I come into the house now?"
It had been a night since Zhou Ping had seen Chu Changliu. When they parted, it seemed like they were both doing well, but Zhou Ping was still a little anxious.
Shang Yunze quickly snapped out of his daze. Seeing Zhou Ping looking at him earnestly, he swallowed hard. "...Alright, come with me."
Unexpectedly, his son was talking about a real sword immortal. Shang Yunze felt a little shocked, but mostly relieved.
Since the other party is a deity, and seems to be a good one, then it's unlikely that he's deceiving his son. The possibility that the two are mutually in love has greatly increased.
After letting out a slow breath, Shang Yunze bent down to help up his eldest and second eldest brothers who were lying in the corner.
Zhou Ping quickly came over to lend a hand, "Let me do it, Uncle."
He carried one in each hand without feeling tired at all.
