Chapter 64 Yu Yuanzhen, Full of Confidence
Silence reigned in front of Yu Yuanzhen's residence.
Yu Yuanzhen's face was grim, his fists clenched tightly.
[Ye Hengchuan, standing to the side, also lost his anticipation at the sudden sound, his expression turning to anger.]
Yu Xiaogang himself, however, showed no reaction to the sudden sound.
[In the past, when they talked about him like that, Yu Xiaogang couldn't refute it.]
[But from now on, Yu Xiaogang won't need to refute such statements.]
Because no amount of explanation can compare to demonstrating that he possesses the number one spirit ring in a millennium.
[Anyone who says anything, once they utter it, you can then check your own spirit ring configuration.]
[You're calling me useless?]
"That's interesting. You can't even compare to a piece of trash, so what are you?"
Yu Xiaogang, a cold smile playing on his lips, looked in the direction from which the sound came.
"It's him!"
Upon seeing the speaker, Yu Qingya, Yu Xiaogang suddenly realized who it was.
[When I excitedly returned home after completing my Whale Glue experiment, ready to tell my father the results, this was the guy standing at my doorstep.]
[What did you say, 'You good-for-nothing who brings shame to the family, how dare you run around like this?']
[His arrogant attitude at the time made Yu Xiaogang particularly dislike him.]
I didn't expect it to come out again today.
For a moment, Yu Xiaogang felt a surge of anticipation, wanting to watch the show unfold.
After all, it wasn't just him who had been holding back his anger; his father, Yu Yuanzhen, had also been doing so.
In the world of Douluo Continent, strength reigns supreme!
Although Yu Xiaogang discovered Whale Glue before, as long as his strength doesn't improve, he will still be looked down upon by many.
But everything changed with the acquisition of the first spirit ring.
At this moment, Yu Yuanzhen was finally able to hold his head high and no longer be speechless with rebuttal, as he had been before.
As expected, Yu Yuanzhen spoke the next second.
"Who said that?"
A cold yet somewhat calm voice broke the silence.
Those who know Yu Yuanzhen's temperament understand that this current calm is merely the calm before a volcanic eruption.
The Third Elder frowned, glared fiercely at his son, and then stepped forward.
"Haha, what's with this stiff silence?"
"Sect Master, you've been gone for many days. The sect has a mountain of matters waiting for your decision. Please rest and discuss them with us."
The Third Elder tried to smooth things over and change the subject.
As he spoke, he glanced at the First Elder and the Second Elder.
The two men met his gaze, sighed, and stepped forward, hoping to put the current unpleasantness behind them.
Based on their understanding of Yu Yuanzhen, anger was inevitable, but as long as they gave him a way out, he would accept it.
But this time, the elders miscalculated.
"We'll talk about that later. Right now, I'm asking who said those words just now?"
Yu Yuanzhen's voice remained cold and icy.
Upon hearing this, the First Elder and the Second Elder exchanged a glance, looking at each other in bewilderment.
Is this a sign they're going to pursue this to the end?
But pursuing this matter like this isn't worth it.
[Yu Qingya, as the son of the Third Elder, has already reached level sixty-eight and is considered a highly valued individual by the sect.]
At his current cultivation pace, he should be able to advance to the Soul Saint level in just a few years.
[There's a very high chance he'll become a Contra Master in the future.]
Therefore, Yu Qingya is no longer considered a genius of the sect, but rather a powerful figure.
Today, Yu Yuanzhen clashed with a powerful figure in the sect because of his son, Yu Xiaogang. Tomorrow, there will definitely be gossip circulating within the sect.
[What kind of sect leader doesn't even allow people to speak the truth?]
[How can a sect possibly thrive if it clashes with a powerful figure over a son with low talent?]
Both the First Elder and the Second Elder could imagine that if today's events escalated, Yu Yuanzhen's reputation would suffer another blow.
"Alright, alright, Sect Master, calm down."
He accidentally said something wrong, and I made him apologize to you afterwards.
The Grand Elder approached Yu Yuanzhen, his demeanor softening once more. After speaking, he whispered in Yu Yuanzhen's ear:
"That's enough. I know you care about your son, but getting into a conflict over a single sentence isn't good for you, and it's even worse for Xiaogang."
The meaning behind the Elder's words is quite clear.
[Continuing this commotion will only make things more difficult for Yu Xiaogang within the sect.]
[As the son of a Title Douluo, his lack of talent means he has to endure public scrutiny. Now that he's finally achieved some success, you're causing trouble again. Aren't you just inviting trouble for your son?]
The Grand Elder's words were very considerate of Yu Yuanzhen and his son Yu Xiaogang.
Unfortunately, Yu Yuanzhen was very confident today.
[Some people in the family had previously gossiped about Yu Xiaogang, but he held back because he didn't want Yu Xiaogang to suffer further in the sect, based on the Grand Elder's wishes.]
But now, his son has defied fate and changed his destiny.
In particular, Yu Xiaogang risked his life to accomplish this.
He risked his life to wash away the humiliation he and his son had suffered.
[If his son has gone to such lengths, and he, as the father, is still timid and hesitant, then he doesn't deserve to be Yu Xiaogang's father.]
Moreover, Yu Yuanzhen had sworn an oath during the day and night he watched over Yu Xiaogang absorb the soul ring.
Once Yu Xiaogang succeeds, he will never allow anyone to mock them again.
Now is the perfect time to establish our authority!
Raising his hand to remove the Grand Elder's grip on his arm, Yu Yuanzhen's face showed an unwavering resolve that was not easily questioned.
"I'm making this clear: I'm going to get to the bottom of this, and no one can change my mind!"
"It's the same question: who said that? Step forward!"
[When Yu Yuanzhen asked the question for the third time, everyone finally understood that Yu Yuanzhen was not going to let the person who spoke off the hook today.]
All eyes turned to Yu Qingya.
Everyone, including Yu Yuanzhen, knew who was speaking, but Yu Yuanzhen wanted Yu Qingya to step forward himself.
For Yu Qingya, this was tantamount to a public trial.
[Punish him, this guy who talks badly about people behind their backs.]
Gritting his teeth, Yu Qingya finally stepped forward.
"I said it, how could I be wrong?"
Yu Qingya dared not meet Yu Yuanzhen's gloomy gaze, so he focused his attention on Yu Xiaogang.
"Look at him! He got injured like this just from absorbing a spirit ring. Does he even deserve to enjoy the sect's resources? He just got lucky and found something good."
"The family's resources should be used by the right people. Giving so many resources to a good-for-nothing like him is a waste—ah!!"
"I'll blow your mother's head off!!"
With a loud shout, Yu Yuanzhen suddenly sprang up and kicked Yu Qingya in the back, sending him flying.
Everyone stared in disbelief at Yu Yuanzhen's sudden outburst, unable to recover for a long time.
