At that moment, Fang Linxuan stood up and said, "Little Commander was indeed wrong; he shouldn't have let the dog bite people."
Luo Shuai's mother raged, "My son has been scared ! If something happens, you can't escape responsibility either!"
Fang Linxuan's face darkened. In this family, she felt as if she had no right to speak. Ever since her father passed away, she and her mother had relied on each other, finding it difficult to get a word in within this family.
Seeing the Luos talking amongst themselves, each with their own opinions, as if searching for a sense of validation, Chu Hao couldn't help but say, "You think I'll leave just because you tell me to? What a joke! Where does that leave the reputation of this Taoist Master?" Chapters first released on N()velFire.net
Everyone was stunned. There were actually people this shameless.
Gao Yuzhen said coldly, "Chu Hao, who do you think you are? This is the Luo Family."
Chu Hao looked at him icily and said, "And who are you? You haven't even properly entered the Luo Family's doors yet; do you have the right to speak to me?"
"You!" Gao Yuzhen was beside himself with anger, also in a sorry state, having been bitten quite badly by the dogs.
The Luos pointed and whispered, their comments varied, and some of them were quite unpleasant.
"Heh... this kid is pretty arrogant, acting as if the Luo Family is just any old place."
"Yeah! If Luo Yan hadn't brought him here, did he really think he could just walt_z into the Luo Family's main gate?"
"Where did Luo Yan find such a thick-skinned person?"
A woman from the Luo family said in a low voice, "Could he be her little lover? Her mother was quite the flirt, and she's no exception. Tsk, tsk... so young, yet so bold. What will become of her?"
Truth be told, the women in the Luo Family had their issues with Fang Linxuan. This woman was nearing fifty yet still looked as young as thirty, which always led to gossip and nitpicking.
Chu Hao, with his exceptional hearing, heard everyone's words very clearly.
No wonder Luo Yan had left Longxi City. This was what a wealthy family was like—utterly lacking any feeling of home, entirely consumed by scheming and plotting.
Luo Yan's expression was the most unsightly, her lips tightly pursed.
Fang Linxuan subconsciously clenched her fists, her gaze fixed on Old Master Luo.
Old Master Luo's face was expressionless. He was old, and there was nothing he hadn't seen before. The Luo Family's fortune was immense, with connections in all fields across the country. Internal power struggles within the family were inevitable.
Chu Hao couldn't stand it anymore. Luo Yan was actually living in such a wealthy family. He had seen things clearly now and said to Luo Yan, "Sister Luo Yan, let's go. We can't stay here anymore."
Luo Yun sneered, "Go with you! Who do you think you are?"
Luo Shuai's mother said in a rage, "Do you think you can come and go from the Luo Family as you please? If you can't clear up this matter, don't even think about leaving through this door!"
Chu Hao glanced at her. An inexplicable, domineering aura emanated from him as he said indifferently, "This Taoist Master will leave if he wants to leave and stay if he wants to stay. To be blunt, who among you can keep me here?"
"Ding... Host has successfully shown off, gaining 200 Pretentiousness Points."
When these words were spoken, the people of the Luo Family exploded.
This kid is too arrogant! Who does he think he is?
Glares were directed at him, and several people had already called for their bodyguards.
"Such arrogance in the Luo Family! And they're actually calling the bodyguards!"
"Kid, you're very arrogant, but you're done for."
Gao Yuzhen was pleased; this was the scene he had been hoping for. It would be best if things blew up. If Chu Hao offended the Luo Family, he wouldn't be able to survive anywhere in Huaxia.
At this time, Master Kong, who was beside Old Master Luo, smiled and said, "I would like to ask, do you by any chance possess the True Word Brush? Chu Hao... that name sounds very familiar."
Yesterday, he had received a message about the True Word Brush surfacing in the world, which had shocked him. The True Word Brush! That was a supreme treasure of their Taoism! Moreover, upon hearing the name Chu Hao, he had his suspicions. Could it really be him?
Chu Hao glanced at Master Kong and said, "That's right, the True Word Brush is with me. Do you have a problem with that?"
Master Kong's breathing became rapid. It really was him! His heart raced. Despite his normally calm demeanor, he couldn't remain calm now. He said, "Young man, the True Word Brush is of great significance to our Taoism. I implore you to please return it."
Chu Hao curled his lip and said, "You old fart, you actually dare to say 'return it.'"
Master Kong's face turned dark as he said, "What did you call me?"
Chu Hao waved his hand and said, "To tell you the truth, many desire the True Word Brush, but… they are all dead. If you're thinking of taking it, you won't be the last, nor were you the first."
"Ding… The Host's nonchalant display of arrogance has earned 200 Pretentiousness Points."
Master Kong's eyes widened as he began to ponder how much truth there was in Chu Hao's words.
Everyone else who heard this felt a chill run down their spines. Had he killed people? No wonder his gaze just now was so terrifying.
Finally, Old Master Luo spoke up, saying, "I don't care about whatever True Word Brush you have! I'm an old man, and I can't stand the sight of blood." Old Master Luo looked at the blood of the fierce dogs on the ground, frowning slightly. He had been fond of a few of those dogs.
Everyone held their breath. Old Master Luo was finally speaking. He was a legend in the Luo Family, its ultimate authority.
Old Master Luo continued, "Out of consideration for you being Luo Yan's friend, and since tomorrow is my grand birthday celebration, I do not wish for any further mishaps. Let's consider this matter closed. I do not wish to see it happen again."
The members of the Luo Family were shocked. Was that it? Was this brat going to get away with his brazen attitude?
Luo Shuai's mother and Luo Yun looked grim. Since Old Master Luo had spoken, they couldn't do anything to Chu Hao now. But… once he left the Luo residence, that would be a different story.
Everyone sneered inwardly. Old Master Luo's words clearly showed his dissatisfaction with Chu Hao. After all, a person of his high status wouldn't stoop to argue with this kid, but others were different. This conflict was only just beginning…
Luo Yan regretted bringing Chu Hao to the Luo residence. She hung her head in silence.
Everyone thought the matter was settled.
Just as they were about to leave, they heard Chu Hao speak coldly, "You may consider it settled, but I certainly don't."
Those who were about to depart whirled around, their faces filled with disbelief.
What did he say? Were their ears deceiving them? The Luo Family is letting you off the hook, and now you want to cause them trouble? Holy shit!! Where does he get such audacity?
Chu Hao stood with his hands behind his back, facing the astonished gazes of the crowd with no sign of nervousness. He had faced countless grand displays of arrogance before; even if the sky fell, wouldn't his thick skin sustain him?
He said coldly again, "Your grandson set his dogs on me! Are we just going to let that go? When you were all gossiping about me, did you really think I was easy to bully? Heh… too naive."
"Let me tell you, anyone who makes my life difficult, I will repay it a hundredfold. And… even if you kneel down and beg me, this matter is far from over."
When Chu Hao said these words, the members of the Luo Family and the outsiders were all struck dumb.
"Ding… The Host has successfully shown off, earning 200 Pretentiousness Points."
"Ding… The Host has successfully shown off, earning 200 Pretentiousness Points."
What a joke!! Would the Divine Master Bi Wang be afraid of your Luo Family? A wealthy family? So what? Immense wealth? So what? If Brother Hao could swallow such an insult, would the audience agree? The answer is no.
One of Brother Hao's famous sayings: "No one has ever been important enough for me to give them face; it's always I who give face to you all."
That is me, a breath of fresh air in the world of pretentiousness.
