Han Lingling’s response was very firm. Indeed, in her heart, she could not imagine apologizing to Yang Chen. However, just as this thought crossed her mind, a loud slap suddenly rang out.
Han Lingling could not believe it as she covered her face; she saw it very clearly and felt it very clearly. Her father had actually slapped her heavily.
Her father had never hit her from childhood until now.
Moreover, he had never hit her in front of so many people.
Han Lingling felt extremely humiliated, and tears were about to fall from her eyes. She choked out, “You…you hit me?”
“Pa!”
Han Tianying looked normal, but his eyes were filled with anger. He slapped Han Lingling’s face without holding back.
Han Tianying’s heart was filled with rage.
How could he have raised Han Lingling to be like this? If Han Lingling had shown the slightest bit of reasonableness, perhaps he would not have slapped her twice today. But what did Han Lingling do? After being slapped once by him, she stopped calling him ‘Father’ and just called him ‘you’ directly.
With such a lack of upbringing, she dared to call her own father ‘you.’ How could a father not be angry when his daughter addressed him like this?
Han Tianying pointed at Han Lingling with an expressionless face and said, “Apologize!”
Han Lingling’s eyes were moist, and feeling the astonishing aura emanating from her father, she finally looked at Yang Chen and said through clenched teeth, “Sorry, Yang Chen!”
Seeing that Han Lingling had no intention of apologizing, Han Tianying sighed. These days, he had heard from his subordinates about the trouble Han Lingling had caused. He had come today to teach his daughter a lesson. He never expected that after years of closed-door cultivation, his daughter had grown up to be like this!
With such sinister intentions, Han Tianying couldn’t help but be disturbed.
Han Tianying looked at Yang Chen and bowed his hands, “Yang Chen, as a father, I apologize on behalf of Lingling. It was Lingling who provoked you first. I, as a father, am also at fault. I hope you will not take it to heart, and do not let this affect the relationship between Beishan Main City and Yuanshan Sect.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Chen couldn’t help but feel a little amused.
He could see that Han Tianying was an upright person, but unfortunately, he had a spoiled daughter.
Since the saying goes, “You don’t hit a smiling face,” Yang Chen bowed his hands, “Elder Han is joking. How could an elder like you apologize to someone like me, who is a junior? I wouldn’t dare accept it.”
At the same time, Yang Chen felt sorry for Han Lingling.
Why sorry? Because Han Lingling made her father lose face just because her apology didn’t come across as sincere enough. Isn’t her father’s face worth more than hers?
Yang Chen could understand why Han Tianying took this approach.
If Han Tianying had been more domineering, today’s matter could have been settled easily. But in a matter of time, the reputation of Beishan Main City would be ruined. And as one of the Three Great Protectors, how could Han Tianying let the reputation of Beishan Main City be tarnished so easily?
Han Tianying slowly said, “In any case, my daughter was wrong this time. As a father, it’s only right for me to apologize. Fortunately, my friend Yang Chen has exceptional talent, and winning against Shao Ming today did not cause huge problems for my daughter. Everyone, let’s disperse.”
Seeing Han Tianying’s generous words, everyone nodded inwardly in agreement.
In a short while, the crowd dispersed, and Han Tianying left with the aggrieved Han Lingling.
Han Tianying had already decided that this time, he would teach his daughter a good lesson when they returned.
As for Yang Chen, he stood there, surrounded by the disciples of the Yuanshan Sect’s branch in no time.
“Young Sect Master!”
“Young Sect Master, what are you going to do next?”
Yang Chen listened to the questions and thought about it. He said, “I should return to the sect.”
As he said, he had been out long enough this time. Since he had stormed the Trial Tower twice, he had no reason to stay any longer. It was time to return to the sect and meet with Elder Hu, Elder Yun, and some of the Yuanshan Sect’s elder disciples who were not at ease with him, and return to the Yuanshan Sect together.
Yang Chen’s status was indeed extraordinary. This return naturally attracted the attention of many people. The outer and inner sects of the Yuanshan Sect were all decorated with lanterns and banners, welcoming Yang Chen’s return. This momentum was even more prestigious than when Mù Báish?ng had returned from outside the sect.
This was normal because no one would flatter Mù Báish?ng. After all, how old was Mù Báish?ng? Would he still care for such things?
Moreover, Mù Báish?ng was always elusive and hard to find upon his return. Unlike Yang Chen, who was noticed by the patrolling disciples outside the Mountain Gate before he even reached the Yuanshan Sect. Naturally, there were no shortage of people who liked to curry favor and seize the opportunity to welcome Yang Chen.
“Congratulations, Young Sect Master, on your return.”
“Young Sect Master is back.”
The welcoming voices entered Yang Chen’s ears, making him somewhat unable to laugh or cry, as he felt the ‘enthusiasm’ of the Yuanshan Sect’s disciples.
Now, he couldn’t even go straight back to the peak to see Gu Mingyue.
As his thoughts swirled, suddenly, an astonishing Qi appeared. Yang Chen looked up and saw the person who appeared was none other than the Sect Leader of the Yuanshan Sect, Mù Báish?ng!
It wasn’t just Yang Chen who had noticed Mù Báish?ng’s appearance. When they saw Mù Báish?ng, everyone respectfully said, “Greetings, Sect Leader!”
“Sect Leader!”
Yang Chen also respectfully said, “Sect Leader!”
Mù Báish?ng smiled and said, “Hehe, Yang Chen, how was your time in Beishan Main City? How was storming the Trial Tower? I hope the people of Beishan Main City didn’t give you a hard time.”
“How could they? Sect Leader, you don’t know, Young Sect Master defeated all the old-generation geniuses in Beishan Main City. It was really refreshing. Hahaha! Even if Beishan Main City wanted to give Young Sect Master a hard time, do they have the ability to?” Elder Hu could not help but exclaim, not hiding his praise.
Mù Báish?ng, who had been in the Yuanshan Sect, naturally did not know what had happened in Beishan Main City. At this moment, hearing Elder Hu’s words, he raised his eyebrows and kindly said, “Oh? It seems everything went smoothly. In that case, there shouldn’t be any problems with storming the Trial Tower. Your Martial Arts Cultivation must have improved quite a bit.”
Yang Chen said softly, “Indeed, I have improved quite a bit.”
“You’ve improved your Martial Arts Cultivation again in such a short time? Yang Chen, before bragging, you should first weigh whether you have the standard.” Just when the atmosphere was normal and peaceful, a yin-yang-like voice suddenly rang out.
