Chapter 10

"Yaofeng, you sent Mazhou to harm me! Now, it's time for payback!"

Wang Chong squatted on Yaofeng's back, with the help of his little sister, using all his strength to punch Yaofeng from both sides, aiming his fists at Yaofeng's face, beating him until his nose was bruised and his face swollen.

Wang Chong was filled with intense hatred. The Yaos, both old and young, had plotted to harm his father and had set up Mazhou to deal with him. Neither of them was any good!

If it weren't for his return to the age of fifteen, the Wang family would have been destroyed by them.

"This punch is for my elder brother!"

"This punch is for myself!"

...

Wang Chong's iron fists rained down, using all his strength. Despite Yaofeng's far superior cultivation, he was still made of flesh and blood. Moreover, Wang Chong, with his thirty years of military experience, knew all the torture techniques and where the most vulnerable spots were.

At first, Yaofeng remained tough, unwilling to lose face in front of two children, gritting his teeth and staying silent. But after a few punches, he realized that although Wang Chong's strength was small, the pain was ten times worse, and he finally couldn't help but cry out in agony.

"You little brat, how dare you!"

With a loud rumble, the ground trembled as Yao Guangyi broke through the floor, only to see this scene. Even though Yao Guangyi was known for his deep scheming and never showing his emotions, seeing Yaofeng's miserable state made him so angry that his hair stood on end.

Yaofeng's situation was something he never expected.

"You two little brats, I'll take your lives!"

Yao Guangyi's face turned ashen, and his body trembled as he lunged at Wang Chong and Wang Xiaoyao, his right hand spread wide, with light flames gathering between his fingers, forming a small sun that emitted a powerful aura, enveloping Wang Chong and Wang Xiaoyao.

Although Wang Xiaoyao was known for her incredible strength, she was no match for the overwhelming light flames, which made her seem insignificant in comparison.

"Little brother!"

Wang Xiaoyao's face turned pale with fear. She was naturally fearless, but she was no match for Yao Guangyi, a seasoned veteran of the battlefield.

"Stop! Whoever dares to move, I'll kill this kid first!"

The light flames rushed toward Wang Chong, blinding him and making it impossible to see who was attacking. However, this didn't stop Wang Chong from countering.

With a sharp sound, a small knife sprang from his sleeve, and a sharp blade immediately pressed against Yaofeng's neck. A thin line of blood appeared, and it was clear that a few more inches would mean the end of Yaofeng at the hands of this fifteen-year-old.

Buzz! The intense light flames stopped just a few feet away from Wang Chong and his sister. Behind the blinding light, Yao Guangyi's ashen face was revealed.

"Yao Guangyi!!"

Wang Chong's heart raced as he finally recognized who was attacking him. In his previous life, he had only met Yao Guangyi a few times, but this was the first time in this life.

Yao Guangyi's gaze was as sinister as Wang Chong remembered, the look of a ruthless hero.

"Little brat, if you dare to hurt my Feng, I'll tear you to pieces!"

Yao Guangyi's face was ashen, and his expression was terrifying. If looks could kill, Wang Chong would have died countless times already.

"Heh heh! Is that so?"

Wang Chong sneered. He hated being threatened, especially by someone like Yao Guangyi.

"You want me to be torn to pieces, I'll make you childless and heirless. I want to see if your son Yaofeng is made of iron, and if he can withstand my knife."

As Wang Chong spoke, he pressed the knife deeper, causing a thin line of blood to appear, making both Yao Guangyi and Yaofeng turn pale.

"No!"

Yaofeng cried out in shock.

"Master!"

The people around them were also shocked. Wang Chong and Wang Xiaoyao were the Wang family's children, and this was just a minor fight. They wouldn't dare to harm the Yao family's master, given the relationship between the two families.

But seeing Wang Chong's expression, everyone realized that he was even more reckless than his sister, and he was capable of doing something extreme in his madness.

"Little brat, how dare you!"

Yao Guangyi's eyes bulged with anger, his body trembling, and his teeth grinding in fury.

"Rebellious son! Stop this now!"

A thunderous voice echoed in the room, and a stern and familiar figure, like a mountain standing firm, appeared behind Yao Guangyi.

"Father!"

"Father!"

...

Wang Chong and Wang Xiaoyao called out in relief.

"Rebellious son! Look at what you've done!"

Wang Yan's face was even more severe than Yao Guangyi's. He detested those who defied the law. Earlier, while drinking with Yao Guangyi, he had mentioned the capital being a place where people shouldn't cause trouble.

However, Wang Yan never expected that the troublemakers in Guanghe Tower would be his own children!

Wang Chong didn't think much about it. Seeing his father, he was thrilled. As long as he could draw his father out and disrupt the meeting with Yao Guangyi, his efforts would be worth it.

"Father, it's not what you think."

Wang Chong quickly explained, "It was Yao and his people who started it."

"Silence!"

Wang Yan roared, his anger evident, "You have disappointed me greatly! Your mother and I thought you had turned over a new leaf, but it seems you haven't changed. You have disappointed me greatly!"

The room fell silent. Wang Yan's reputation was so great that everyone in Guanghe Tower was afraid to speak. Wang Xiaoyao's face turned pale, and she shrank back in fear.

This was the first time she had seen her father so angry. She sensed that she had caused a major disaster.

Wang Chong understood his sister's feelings, holding her hand, feeling a deep sense of disappointment. The joy he had felt at seeing his father had vanished.

All his efforts were to resolve the family crisis, but in his father's eyes, he was still the rebellious son!

Wang Chong felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

"Yes, Father, I have learned my lesson. I was wrong."

Wang Chong lowered his head.

"Wrong? What wrong? They started it..."

Wang Xiaoyao immediately protested. She was fearless, but she feared her father the most. When he appeared, she turned pale and was silent. But hearing her brother's委屈 voice, she felt indignant and even dared to contradict her father.

Although she feared her father, she didn't want her brother to be wronged. Her brother had done nothing wrong, so why should he admit fault?

These people had ganged up on them, so how could it be their fault? Even though she didn't know why her brother was targeting them, she believed he had his reasons.

"Silence!"

Wang Yan was furious.

"Little sister, don't say anything more..."

Wang Chong quickly pulled his sister's hand. Although he was misunderstood by his father, he was relieved that his plan had succeeded. Everything else was irrelevant.

With this incident, in front of everyone, Yao Feng had been beaten half to death by him and his sister. Even if Yao Guangyi was cunning and eloquent, he couldn't possibly link his father to him or accuse him of betraying Prince Qi. Wang Chong could sense that Yao Guangyi was particularly angry because he realized this.

As for his father, Wang Yan...

One day, he would understand his efforts.

The Wang family father and son were arguing, and Yao Guangyi, with red eyes, couldn't stand it. Who knew if they were putting on a show?

"Little brat, let go of Feng now!"

"Yao Guangyi, be quiet!"

A loud roar shook the room, and Wang Yan's face turned dark, finally losing his patience.

No matter what, they were his children, but Yao Guangyi kept calling them "little brats" in front of him. Where did that leave him as a father?

Yao Guangyi had crossed the line!

Although they were colleagues, Wang Yan didn't need to be polite to Yao Guangyi. How he disciplined his own children was his business, and it wasn't Yao Guangyi's place to interfere!

Buzz!

As the sound faded, Yao Guangyi's face changed. The two men glared at each other, and the small room became tense with the hostility between the two Tang Dynasty generals!

Everyone in the room was silent, afraid to move.

All the Yao family guards showed signs of fear.

Wang Chong felt a slight comfort. His father was still on his side! However, he didn't want his father to conflict with Yao Guangyi at this moment.

"Yao Guangyi! Here's your son back!"

Wang Chong didn't give them a chance to fight. He knew the future, and although Yao Guangyi was despicable, it wasn't the right time for the two families to completely break ties and fight to the death.

With a thud, Wang Chong pushed Yao Guangyi, secretly pressing a point on Yaofeng's back to knock him unconscious before he could speak.

Wang Chong wouldn't risk being bitten by the tiger he was trying to tame. Yaofeng was much stronger than him, and if he let him go, who knew what trouble he would cause.

Yao Guangyi quickly caught his son.

"Wang Yan, look at the son you've raised!"

Seeing his son, beaten and bruised, Yao Guangyi's heart ached. He had prepared so much for today, inviting many subordinates and Prince Qi's advisors, but his plans were ruined by two young Wang family children.

Yao Guangyi wasn't sure if the father and son were acting together, but his plans were definitely ruined.

He had promised Prince Qi, and when Prince Qi heard the news, he would be disappointed and might even doubt his abilities!

Thinking of this, Yao Guangyi felt even more pain.

"Wang Yan, this won't be over. I'll take this to the emperor, and I'll make sure your family gives my son an explanation!"

Yao Guangyi glared at Wang Yan, his voice filled with hatred. Since his plan had failed, there was no need to pretend. He picked up his son and left with a group of Yao family experts without looking back.

As soon as Yao Guangyi left, Wang Yan's face turned dark.

"Rebellious son! Get home now! Do you want to embarrass me more here?"

Wang Yan glared at Wang Chong, his voice cold. He then turned to Wang Xiaoyao.

"Xiaoyao, you have disappointed me greatly. Stay away from your third brother, or you'll end up like him. ——When we get home, you'll be confined to your room for three days, not a step outside!"

"Father!"

Wang Xiaoyao cried out in distress. She could stay inside, but being confined to a small room would drive her crazy.

"No arguing, this is non-negotiable!"

Wang Yan said coldly.

Wang Chong felt a deep sense of disappointment. It would be hard to change his father's impression of him after the scandal with Mazhou and the fight with Yao Feng.

But no matter what his father believed, there was something Wang Chong had to say:

"Father, I know you won't believe me now, but please remember one thing! When you return to the border, if you find the Hu people crossing the border, retreat fifty miles first! Remember, you must!"

"What do you mean?"

Wang Yan, still furious, was taken aback by these words and instinctively asked.
