Chapter 166: Settling Score-02

The paper in Ximen Hao’s hand seemed to be the list of compensation he had prepared beforehand. He continued to read it.

“As compensation, the Ximen Clan is ready to cover all construction materials and costs. We will also pay for all the servants required to run the estate of your choice, as well as all maintenance costs for the estate for the rest of your life. The terms can also be negotiated to include all of your descendants.”

“For your severed arm, the Ximen Clan will give you a high grade body rejuvenation pill or above for you to consume so that your arm will grow back. With the efficacy of the pill and your talent, we believe your body will be enhanced further, making your physique stronger and your cultivation path wider.”

“As for the humiliation, the Ximen Clan is ready to compensate you with cultivation resources until you reach the Soul Formation Realm. The terms can also be negotiated. How about that?”

“As for Xiao Mei, I did not force her. It was a transaction. She served as my secretary and attendant, and in return I cured her father’s illness. It was a purely transactional arrangement, and it has just ended. I advise you to speak with her for the details,” Ximen Hao said plainly, without any nonsense.

“You… you think your wealth will always save you? Ximen Hao, you think all it takes is for you to throw money at me and everything will be fine?” Yun Feng pointed at Ximen Hao in anger.

“No,” Ximen Hao said firmly. “I do not think my wealth will always save me. But I do think my wealth can compensate for your losses and the bitter experience you had to face because of me. And I also think that my wealth will end this dispute, and each of us will go our own way.”

Wei Chen was clearly surprised. He did not think he would hear something like this from a typical young master like Ximen Hao.

Or maybe this guy had already evolved? No. It should be called growing up, to be precise.

“You think your wealth will end this dispute? In your dreams! I will return what you did to me tenfold. No, a hundredfold!” Yun Feng screamed in anger and then spat on the ground.

Ximen Hao had indeed grown up and calmed down a lot. However, he had already offered a solution and felt that he had compromised greatly. Being rejected and even humiliated like this caused anger to rise in his heart.

This was nothing short of a slap in the face even though he had already tried to be polite.

His smile vanished and a cold, haughty glare returned to his expression. This was the usual tyrant young master who did not care about others, especially those he considered beneath him or not worth his time.

“Tch…” Ximen Hao clicked his tongue in irritation.

Wei Chen saw that things were starting to get out of hand and that Ximen Hao’s guards were ready. To stop things from escalating and causing his performance to drop because of a sudden massacre, he decided to intervene before Ximen Hao said something that would worsen the situation.

“Hold up. Stop right there, buddy. Let me step in for a moment.” Wei Chen raised his hand, then walked forward and stood between Yun Feng and Ximen Hao.

“So… Edgelord… what exactly do you want?” Wei Chen asked.

This question mattered the most. If he knew the answer, he could proceed from there.

“I want revenge! I want to return what he did to me tenfold. No, a hundredfold!”

Wei Chen nodded. “A hundredfold? Okay. Other than burning your house and snatching your girl to be his servant, do you remember exactly what he did?” Wei Chen said as he took out his U-Phone 2 and opened the recording function.

“This…” Yun Feng paused. To be honest, he did not remember exactly how many times he had been bullied by Ximen Hao.

He remembered being slapped in the face a few times, kicked a few dozen times, beaten up several times, and subjected to countless verbal humiliations.

Yun Feng gathered his thoughts and told Wei Chen everything about it. Wei Chen recorded it and then called one of Ximen Hao’s servants to write it down on paper, including the rough number of times Ximen Hao had bullied him.

In conclusion, Ximen Hao had met this guy about four or five times because he wanted to get into Xiao Mei’s pants and was jealous. Since he had been a typical young master back then, he did everything to vent his jealousy.

However, he only stopped at bullying and never went as far as killing. That was because he enjoyed bullying people more.

Wei Chen took the finished paper and let Yun Feng check it first.

“Is this correct? Check it, and if you confirm that this is everything, sign your name,” said Wei Chen.

Yun Feng took the paper and read it. Honestly, he thought the numbers were exaggerated a bit. However, since his good brother Wei was trying to help him, he believed he would get what he wanted. So he signed his name and handed it back to Wei Chen.

Wei Chen took it and then handed the paper to Ximen Hao. “Check and see if this is what happened back then.”

Ximen Hao took the paper and read it.

“Umm… I think the numbers here are a little higher than my own calculations,” he muttered.

“Ha! See? Brother Wei! This man is trying to weasel his way out. He…” Yun Feng pointed at Ximen Hao, but…

“Fine. I will allow it. Think of it as interest.” Ximen Hao signed his name on the paper.

“Huh?”

Wei Chen took the paper, read it, and nodded.

“Before we begin…” He looked at Yun Feng. “Let me ask you this. Are you really sure you want exactly a hundredfold of what is written on this paper, and not the compensation that Ximen Hao offered you earlier?” Wei Chen looked directly into Yun Feng’s eyes.

“Yes! I am sure!” Yun Feng nodded with determination. To him, money was like grains of sand. It could not measure his pride.

“Okay, then let’s begin. First, 25 slaps to the face. A hundredfold makes it 2,500 slaps to the face. You may begin,” Wei Chen declared.

“You dare!” One of the protectors rushed toward Wei Chen. When Ximen Hao saw this, he quickly tried to stop the reckless man, but…

Slap! Bam!

Wei Chen slapped the man so hard that his face smashed into the floor, cracking the ground.

“You…” The protector wanted to curse, but Ximen Hao grabbed his shoulder and stopped him.

“Stop it, Left Protector. Brother Wei is a Void Refining Realm expert. You cannot defeat him.”

Hearing that the man in front of him was a Void Refining Realm expert, the Left Protector’s face turned pale. This man’s combat power was equal to the grand elders of the Vermilion Bird Dynasty or even the sect leaders of the great sects.

The Left Protector quickly stood up and bowed, cupping his fists. “This junior had eyes but failed to see Mount Tai. Please do not hold it against this junior.”

Wei Chen’s face twisted in disbelief. Junior my ass. I am sure you are old enough to be my grandfather. However, he kept the thought to himself and let it go.

He waved his hand to shoo the Left Protector away like he was shooing a dog. The Left Protector bowed again and quickly made himself scarce.

“Where were we? Ah yes… slapping,” Wei Chen continued. “Go on. Slap him. Chop chop.” He said this to Yun Feng.

Hearing this, Yun Feng showed a bloodthirsty smile. He would slap this arrogant young master until the man could not even remember his own name. And there was still a long list on that paper.

“I have been waiting for this!” Yun Feng said, his voice filled with bloodlust. He channeled all his power into his right hand and prepared to strike. This slap would surely send the man flying.

“Die!” Yun Feng shouted as he swung his hand.

But…

His hand was caught by someone. That slap could have even killed a Core Formation Realm expert if it had connected. Yet someone had received it without even a trace of residual energy. What kind of cultivation and control was required for that?

An expert!

Yun Feng thought this and quickly looked at the person who had caught his slap.

It was Wei Chen.

“Hold up! Hold up!”

“Brother Wei… are you trying to help this bastard?” Yun Feng said in disbelief. He felt betrayed.

“Oi… I am trying to help both of you here. Also, what the f*ck are you trying to do? Are you trying to kill him?” Wei Chen said as he showed Yun Feng’s hand, which was filled with powerful qi. It even contained sword qi.

“I am… I am trying to slap him, just like it is written on the paper,” Yun Feng said.

“Yes, and you said exactly a hundredfold of what you received. Remember?”

“Yes. What is wrong?” Yun Feng asked, now confused.

“Buddy, there are a lot of things wrong here. Was the slap you received back then strong enough to kill a cultivator?” Wei Chen asked.

Yun Feng paused to think and then shook his head. At that time he had only been a mortal. Yes, it stung and was humiliating, but at most the slap had only split his lip. Nothing serious.

“No, right? Then what you need to do is slap this guy 2,500 times with the strength that would not cause a serious wound to a mortal. Or give one slap with 2,500 times that exact strength,” Wei Chen clarified.

“Wait… what?”
