Chapter 10


Chapter 10: Crisis (2)


The biggest reason why Second and Third Uncle allowed Luo Zheng to live for so long was not because of kindness, but because his strength was too low. He was just like an insignificant ant, unable to pose any threat to them.


However, if Luo Zheng, this ant, were to bite them, they would not hesitate to crush him to death.


“However, I’m quite satisfied with what you did with that old fart surnamed Huang!" Luo Dalong laughed. "We have long disliked him!”


It wasn’t just Luo Dalong who was venting his anger. Other than the people from the second and third branch, all the other members of the Luo Clan felt like venting their anger as well.


Although the disciples of the Luo Clan didn’t say it out loud as Luo Dalong did, their eyes clearly said it all.


The actions of the Second and Third House over the past two years could be described as doing things in reverse. There were many examples of disciples from the other branches being stepped on. Even servants that was not a Luo dared to climb over them.


Almost all of the resources were focused on Luo Pieran and Luo Cheng. It would be strange if the disciples from the other branches weren’t able to keep their wits calm.


Everyone was now missing the time when Luo Zheng’s father was the clan head. Back then, the clan rules were stringent. The Luo Clan didn’t have that many scheming schemes. No servant dared to bully others.


Things were fair!


Unfortunately, such good times would never come back.


Even this sort of nostalgia was something that only the Luo Clan’s disciples dared to hide in their hearts. They didn’t dare speak of it in public. They were afraid that if they used any of their strength, they would be punished by the “clan’s rules.”



This Luo Clan is rotten to death!


Luo Zheng sighed in his heart.


If there’s a chance, once I grow stronger, I will gouge out all of the Luo Clan’s eyesores!



***


In front of the luxurious mansion of the Luo Clan’s Third House.


Huang Ge’s head was covered by layers upon layers of gauze, revealing only his nose, eyes and mouth. With a plop, he kneeled on the ground and cried out in a high-pitched voice, “You have to be the one in charge of avenging this little one, Young Master!”


Directly in front of the yellow lattice, a black-clothed youth was leaning back in a chair. This youth was handsome, but there was a sense of domineering and ruthless aura coming from him. He was the Luo Clan’s Second Young master, Luo Cheng.


“I heard you wanted to take Luo Zheng as your servant and to take care of your daily necessities?” Luo Chengyun tilted his head and laughed.


“Young Master, it’s not like that…” Huang Ge denied with a hint of tears in his voice.


Luo Chengyun did not listen to Huang Ge’s explanation and laughed. “Although Luo Zheng has been demoted to a servant, his surname is still Luo. Also, he was once the young master of the Luo Clan. Even if I took him in as a servant, it would not be appropriate.


Huang Ge kowtowed and continued to cry. “Young Master Cheng, this time I was wrong, but you still have to be my judge…” He quietly made a hand gesture to the side as he cried.



A middle-aged woman who appeared to be in her forties walked to Huang Ge’s side without a word and knelt down as well.


This middle-aged woman was Huang Ge’s wife and also Luo Cheng’s wet nurse. She had taken care of Luo Cheng since she was young. Luo Cheng had a very good relationship with this wet nurse and was very close to her.


“Second Mother, there’s no need to kneel. Huang Ge, you should also stand up!” Luo Cheng waved his hand.


“Young Master, you’ve agreed?” Huang Ge’s voice trembled.


Luo Chengyun stood up from his chair and took two steps forward, then said, “Cousin Pieran said before that if Luo Zheng wanted to take his life, he wouldn’t stand by idly. However, Luo Zheng is not someone important, and now that Cousin Peiran is about to leave for the Clear Heaven Sect, I will help Cousin Peiran deal with him!”


Hearing this, Huang Ge’s shapeless mouth opened wide, saying, “Many thanks to Young Master Cheng!”


“However, there is still a need to wait for this matter. “Luo Chengyun scratched his head and said,” I just swallowed the clan’s last Heaven and Earth Rebirth Pill. This month, I will also be in closed-door training to purify the medicinal effects of the pill.”



With that, Luo Cheng’s face began to emit layers of killing intent.


The day of refining was also the day when the Luo Family’s disciples checked on their strength. The elders of the Luo Clan would step in and review the results of their training.


At the same time, the day of the clan’s refinement was also a chance for a meat target to regain their freedom. As long as one could survive in this kind of environment, one would be able to regain his freedom.


Even the lowliest meat target had the right to freedom. If they could not see the dawn of freedom, they would not be able to bear the pressure of being beaten every day and die quickly.


By setting this rule, all meat targets had a glimmer of hope. They hoped that after suffering a life and death struggle on the day of the clan’s refining, they would be able to leave the Luo Clan and would no longer have to be a lowly meat target.


However, this “fight to the death” environment was not fair in and of itself. Meat targets were often beaten up and suffered from various injuries and illnesses. How could they fight with the trained elites of the Luo Clan?


Who knew how many meat targets would be beaten to death on the day of the clan’s training.


That day was the day when the elders of the Luo Clan checked the strength of the disciples according to their strength, they would receive a reward.


“Alright, Young Master, we’ll let that kid Luo Zheng live for one more month!” Huang Ge kowtowed a few more times and finally got up from the ground. His pair of eyes under the gauze revealed a ferocious light of hatred.


After Luo Cheng left, the middle-aged woman persuaded Huang Ge, “That Luo Zheng youth is too pitiful, why must you force him to death?”


However, Huang Ge said, “As a woman, what do you know other than being compassionate?”


After being scolded by her husband, the middle-aged woman mumbled a few sentences before sighing and falling silent.
