Chapter 807: A drop of Sweat
"Really!? It's that simple!? Ok, then go and check our room. If you don't mind the mess then be my guest!"
"What!?"
Tianlong Yun's response was completely out of expectations, as even an idiot would understand that he had been set up at this point, but this guy was just too calm and collected.
It looked like he had full certainty that whatever they were searching for wasn't inside his room, which clearly surprised the poor spokesperson.
"Just like I said, if you have those doubts then you can go over and check my room! But I want to hear this from the Family Head himself.
Oh yeah! Not to forget, I want to know what will happen if you don't find what you are searching for in our bedroom!"
The whole crowd was looking at the situation with different thoughts, and attitudes. Everyone knew just what kind of person their spokesperson was, and his character.
But at the same time they also couldn't help but back him up, no matter what blood was thicker than water, and many people were dissatisfied with Tianlong Yun's benefits.
First of all, because they had only heard of Tianlong Yun's power and prowess, so they were thinking that it was just a made-up fact from the Family Head and the others.
According to the rumors, they had heard this was a tactic of the Family Head to fight for personal benefits and full control of the family.
Well, most of them had just been bought and paid from the spokesperson and other people behind him, in order to set this whole thing up, but it didn't matter right now.
The spokesperson had been frightened when he heard Tianlong Yun agree to the search that easily but hearing these words now it made him feel like Tianlong Yun was trying to dodge the bullet by jumping ahead.
"Tianlong Yun don't try to dodge this matter, none of the members in here have any reason to rob the Family for resources, as they have been treated fairly and impartially.
Only when you came here did something like this happen! There is no one else who could be the perpetrator besides you!
So don't try to escape by making the Family Head act in your favor!"
It seemed like the spokesperson had come out for blood tonight, and there seemed to be no way he was backing down at this point.
Surprisingly even the Family Head was standing off the case this time, not trying to mediate between the two, clearly with his own goals and purposes in mind.
Tianlong Yun didn't really care for the guy, in fact, the more he stood silent the better it was for him. What he was afraid of now wasn't whether he dodged the search, but that his opponent might back down.
For that reason, he continued to press forward with strength,
"I wouldn't want my father-in-law to deal with someone like you either you don't have to worry about that!
As I said I am not against the search, but I can't have any Tom, Dick, and Harry threaten me like this for no reason at all now, can I!?
Otherwise wouldn't I drown into all the worthless chickens and dogs that I will have 'robbed'!?"
"Tianlong Yun don't try to escape if you are a man!"
"I don't think this has anything to do with my manliness, like I have already told you more than once, I have no plan on escaping!
I agree with the search!
What I am saying is, if it turns out that you are slandering me, and I have nothing to do with this issue, what will you do!"
"If you have nothing to do with this then I am ready to cut"
He was just about to make a serious swear when suddenly an old man screamed from behind,
"If you have nothing to do with this then he will apologize to you for slandering, and we will search for the guilty person!"
Tianlong Yun felt that he was about to receive a huge bun when he suddenly heard that old bastard behind putting a fierce block to his hopes.
This idiot that was trying to stand up to him was a thorough idiot, but the one behind was a cunny old fox!
"Hehehe~! What a good apologizing for slander! Are you shitting me, old thing!? Your son came here in front of the whole Tang Family, accusing me as a criminal, as a thief, and you want to just apologize!?
Is there such a good thing in this world!? Don't forget that while I don't care much about this bullshit I am still the son-in-law of the Family Head!
Accusing and slandering me is the same as accusing and slandering his sight and intentions on the Family!
And you want to escape with just an apology!?"
"Tianlong Yun don't go overboard, this is a matter of great importance, and everyone in the family has to cooperate and clear the doubts!"
"Hehehuahahahah~! Good words, but if that is the case why are you targeting me specifically!? Have you already searched through the whole Mansion!?
Have you already searched everyone in here!? If this is a family matter why isn't the Family Head coming forward to say these words, but it's you, father and son!?
Are you not putting this matter in your eyes or are you not putting the Family Head in your eyes!?"
These words carried a deep and heavy meaning if the Elder accepted these words, it was the same as declaring rebellion.
No, he couldn't let this situation go in that direction, so he changed his mind,
"There is no need to disturb the Family Head with this small issue, furthermore it's my right and duty as the punishment Elder to deal with it!"
"Oy, oy, Old man is this a big issue or a small one make up your mind! The whole crowd is being confused by your words!"
"The resources stolen aren't much of a big deal, but the fact that someone has stolen from the Family Treasury is a big deal!
So, we have to search for the culpable, and punish him heavily! Even cutting his hands wouldn't be a heavy punishment!"
"Really!? So, you want to cut my hands, huh!? Then shouldn't you place a big stake if you want my hands!?
After all, for a cultivator like me losing my hands is no simple matter, it's the same as cutting my future! So what are you going to do should it turn out false!?
Are you willing to cut your own hands!?"
"Preposterous who do you think you are talking to!?"
"I am talking to a cheap old man who has already set me up! What, did you lose confidence in your own trap!?"
While the Elder was angry, he didn't dare to attack, because he himself was just a 3 Boundary Ascension Realm cultivator.
Should Tianlong Yun be still injured then he would attack without scruples, but should he have recovered it was nothing but shaming himself.
Not to mention, that it would become a great reason for the Family Head and the others to act after that, and he would lose the small advantage he had.
Trying to reflect on the current situation, he started thinking whether Tianlong Yun was just trying to play it tough, or had he truly broken through their trap?
It should have been impossible, he and the Ancestor had been focused on this brat all this time, and he hadn't left his room!
Meaning that it was practically impossible for Tianlong Yun to have gotten rid of those things, even if he had burned them, or destroyed them, there were still traces left behind.
After all, amidst the trapping resources, there was a sort of flower that actually left a special kind of smell behind even if it was burned or destroyed.
Looking closer at Tianlong Yun's face in anger, he felt like he wanted to kill this bastard and make him unable to reincarnate.
But it was at this moment that he finally found something that completely overturned his fears, as he saw a drop of sweat on Tianlong Yun's forehead.
'Heheheh~! Tianlong Yun, you are too green to try and cheat this old man!'
Thinking like that, he seemed to have lost all his preceding rage, as he said in a cool and dignified manner,
"Well, if you are that hurt from this matter, then I will personally apologize to you, give you a 1000 year old ginseng, and even lash him 100 times!"
The 'him' in his words was none other than his own son, who couldn't believe what his father had just proposed.
Should that happen he would lose all the face and dignity to ever leave his room again! this was even worse than getting killed.
On the other hand, Tianlong Yun couldn't help but snicker and have a maniac laugh inside, while he turned to his father-in-law, and the whole crowd saying,
"Father-in-law, and everyone else in the crowd, I am taking all of you as witnesses to the bet, should these cheap guys try to avoid it once they get slapped through their faces!"
The Family Head and the crowd didn't know how to react, when the old man personally did the same thing, as he said,
"Family Head and everyone in the crowd, you have already seen how unbridled and disrespectful this youngster is. So I would like you to be witnesses to the bet as well!
If he loses, he will cut his arms and lose the quota to the Secret Pond."
A true venomous snake, trying to add more salt to the injury, but it didn't really matter the outcome was already decided
