Chapter 320 The Bai Family! Three Generations of Heroes!
Bai Menya was truly angry.
His grandfather was the person he admired the most!
His grandfather was the elder who had loved him the most!
A lonely genius, yet from childhood, he had endured countless hardships.
He was treated as a hostage by his family, seen as an outsider by his peers, ostracized by his clan, and faced insurmountable challenges...
The setbacks a genius faces are different from those of ordinary people.
The pain of a genius is also different from that of ordinary people.
What ordinary people can endure, a genius finds difficult to bear.
What ordinary people don't have to endure, a genius must shoulder entirely.
During his darkest, most hopeless, and most helpless moments...
When he strayed onto the wrong path, stepped into darkness, and fell so low that he even hated himself...
His father was more like a judge, his cold eyes filled with disappointment, disgust, and indifference.
Only his grandfather treated him with such gentleness.
It was his grandfather's kindness that reignited his hope and restored his confidence.
It was also his grandfather's meticulous guidance that helped him break through the fog and live up to the name of a genius!
It was his grandfather's deep and vast love that allowed him to become himself.
To become the Bai family head who now stood tall and proud, looking down on the world!
And yet, this wild man spoke of his grandfather without the slightest reverence!
In Bai Menya's heart, his grandfather was sacred!
He was pure!
He was perfect!
He was not to be mocked or joked about!
No matter who you are, if you dare to speak ill of my grandfather, I will cut you down!
Bai Menya was truly angry.
This was not only evident to E Lai, who knew him well, but even Lu Chengwen and the others could see it.
Long Aotian, clutching his wound, moved closer, "Master, this kid seems to have quite the temper!"
"Yeah," Huntian Gang said, "Takes after his grandfather."
Lu Chengwen asked, "Master, was his grandfather like this when he was young?"
"No, no, no," Huntian Gang said, "He seems to like gentle types, but his grandfather preferred wild and unrestrained ones."
Bai Menya's eyes widened, "You're asking for death!"
With that, he raised his sword and charged forward again.
Huntian Gang muttered, "Good technique!"
He gently pushed Lu Chengwen into a soft patch of grass and kicked Long Aotian onto a pile of rocks.
Huntian Gang dashed forward again, clashing with Bai Menya!
Long Aotian lay in the pile of rocks, clutching his lower back, "Damn, my back! Ouch, these rocks are killing me!"
He then shouted at Huntian Gang while holding his chest, "Stop kicking me!"
Lu Chengwen lay in the grass, sat up, and plucked a blade of grass to chew on, "Damn! This is a battle of gods! Bai Menya must be beyond the Upper Four Gates, right? He's way too strong!"
He quickly crawled over to Hua Xuening, "Xuening, how are you feeling..."
"Master, wait!" Hua Xuening stopped him. She was completely engrossed in watching the two fight.
Lu Chengwen saw that she was captivated and didn't disturb her. He noticed Qi Meishao was also focused on the battle.
Lu Chengwen felt frustrated.
He was too weak.
Long Aotian, Hua Xuening, and Qi Meishao were all engrossed in the battle, watching intently.
They could all understand what was happening and learn from it.
But him? He could only watch the spectacle and shout, "Damn, that's amazing!"
Bai Menya landed on the ground and turned to look at Huntian Gang.
Huntian Gang clicked his tongue in admiration, "Kid! You're really something! Your Bai family is practically a family of freaks! Geniuses are as common as cabbages in a market! And every generation produces a genius among geniuses to carry the banner! And you, you're even more impressive than your grandfather was back in the day!"
"Scoundrel! Stop talking about my grandfather!"
"Look at you, look at you!" Huntian Gang said, "This is where you fall short of your grandfather! Your grandfather wasn't like this when he was young! He was always cheerful and full of charm. Once, we got drunk and went to steal watermelons, but we got caught and beaten..."
"Thief! Today, I will kill you to honor my grandfather! White Emperor's Sword—White—"
Slap—!
Bai Menya was stunned!
His "White Emperor's Ascension" had never been interrupted during its activation phase!
And this guy had just been about twenty steps away from him!
How did he suddenly slap him with a shoe sole and interrupt his White Emperor's Ascension!?
Huntian Gang said, "Ah, why are you so serious? I'm your grandfather's friend after all. Why are you resorting to your ultimate move? If your grandfather knew I pushed you to use White Emperor's Ascension, he'd scold me from the afterlife for bullying a junior!"
Bai Menya lightly leaped back, "Who exactly are you!?"
Huntian Gang stared at him, "Go home and ask your father. Oh, wait, no, your father probably doesn't remember me. I held him when he was still in diapers... I saw him a few times after that, but only from a distance while he was playing... He probably has no memory of me."
Huntian Gang seemed to suddenly remember something, "Hey, how's your father doing now?"
Bai Menya stared intently at Huntian Gang, now somewhat suspicious.
Given his age and tone, could he really be a friend of my grandfather?
"He's gone."
Huntian Gang froze in place, "Dead... dead... dead? He's gone too!?"
Bai Menya was furious!
This man had no manners at all!
But then, Huntian Gang seemed to lose all his strength. He slumped and turned around, walking back to the large rock, where he sat down heavily and let out a deep sigh.
"Dead, they're all dead... Even the younger generation is leaving before me... Hah, and yet this old bone of mine is still here..."
Bai Menya asked, "You said you didn't know my father?"
"Bai Longjing... He took on the responsibility of the Bai family in a time of crisis. It wasn't easy for him to hold onto the family's legacy. Back then, he was a bit too domineering and made a lot of enemies. But... perhaps in his eyes, that was the only thing he could do."
"What exactly is your connection to our Bai family?"
All the juniors pricked up their ears to listen.
Amazing! Absolutely amazing!
It sounds like the Bai family is incredibly impressive!
And Huntian Gang seems equally impressive!
These two families have a deep connection, and there are so many stories to tell!
The generations of the Bai family are all remarkable!
Bai Menya, needless to say, is so young yet has earned Huntian Gang's high praise. He's the youngest family head in the history of the Bai family!
Bai Longjing also seems extraordinary! A great figure who turned the tide during a crisis! A strong-willed and domineering family head!
And Bai Qingyun is even more impressive!
He... liked Manli, preferred mature, wild, and unrestrained women.
That's all we know for now.
Bai Menya slowly sheathed his sword, "I can't defeat you today. In three years, I'll come back for your head."
"Good heavens!" Huntian Gang said, "Why are you picking a fight with an old man like me? I might not even live for three more years. If you come to my grave in three years with a shovel, you can have your revenge. Wait... what grudge do we even have?"
"Anyone who disrespects my grandfather, I will kill without exception!"
Huntian Gang widened his eyes, "I disrespected him!?"
Huntian Gang got worked up, stood up, and pointed at the ground with a look of defiance, "Back then, I was the one who paid most of the time when we went out! I was the one who found doctors to treat your grandfather when he got sick!"
Bai Menya was furious.
"Scoundrel! Just wait. In three years, I will come to challenge you!"
Huntian Gang was so angry he laughed, "Fine! If I'm dead by then, just find my eldest disciple! You can do whatever you want to him—kill him, slice him up, it's up to you!"
Long Aotian's eyes widened, "Master... this matter..."
Huntian Gang pressed Long Aotian's hand, "It's settled!"
Bai Menya glanced at them, then turned to leave.
Lu Chengwen and Huntian Gang shouted in unison, "Wait!"
Bai Menya stopped and coldly looked at Lu Chengwen and Huntian Gang.
Lu Chengwen said, "You wrecked my car, and I won't pursue that! You injured my senior brother but didn't finish him off, and I won't pursue that either!"
Long Aotian was furious, "Lu Chengwen, you bastard..."
Lu Chengwen shouted, "But your man hit my woman! This matter can't just be dropped!"
Huntian Gang slapped his thigh, "Exactly!"
Hua Xuening's heart raced: I... am his woman! He said it! It makes sense!
Long Aotian felt like he was just an afterthought.
"So... I got slashed so badly I can't even move, and that's not important, is it?"
Huntian Gang gestured at him, "Shh! We're negotiating!"
Lu Chengwen pointed at E Lai, "E Lai! You! Apologize to my Xuening and Meishao!"
E Lai's eyes widened, "What did you say!?"
Bai Menya narrowed his eyes.
Lu Chengwen said, "Apologize!"
E Lai gritted his teeth, "I, E Lai, have never apologized!"
"Damn it! That's your problem. Today, you must apologize, or you're not leaving!"
"You..."
Lu Chengwen stared at E Lai, "Otherwise, we'll fight again!"
Bai Menya walked up to Lu Chengwen, staring straight at him.
"You want an apology?"
"Yes."
Bai Menya smiled, "There's a sword at your feet."
He tapped the sword with his foot, and it flew into his hand.
He drew the sword and shoved it into Lu Chengwen's hand, then turned and said, "E Lai, stand still. Don't move."
E Lai proudly puffed out his chest, "Yes!"
Bai Menya leaned in close to Lu Chengwen, his eyes finally showing a hint of human complexity.
"We don't apologize."
His voice was soft but filled with pride, "I'm not a match for Huntian Gang right now. But... you can kill him. With my order, he won't fight back."
He gripped Lu Chengwen's hand, a mocking smile on his face, "Go ahead, aim for his chest, and plunge the sword into his heart. You can take his life, but you can't make him apologize."
Bai Menya sneered, "Don't tremble. Killing someone is easy. Just step forward, like this, and push the sword in! This sword is sharp. You don't need much force to take his life..."
Lu Chengwen struggled to break free but couldn't. He could only let go, and the sword fell to the ground.
Bai Menya tilted his head, shaking it in disappointment, "The way you are now is even more disappointing than if you had knelt."
Lu Chengwen gritted his teeth, "You're insane."
Bai Menya grabbed Lu Chengwen's face, his eyes sharp:
"You want fairness? Let me tell you, this world has no fairness. If it does, it's only forged with fists!"
"If Huntian Gang weren't here today, you wouldn't even get to choose how you die. An apology?"
"Just now, you were ready to risk your life to defend your last shred of dignity. Now you're just a third-rate thug hiding behind someone else's power... Lu Chengwen, how many more faces do you have that I haven't seen?"
Lu Chengwen pushed him away, stepping back and glaring at Bai Menya, "You're all trash!"
Bai Menya smirked, "You civilized city folk, without strength, shouldn't even speak. An apology?"
Bai Menya laughed, and E Lai joined in.
Huntian Gang nodded, "He's right."
Lu Chengwen was indignant but had no choice.
Strength—that's all they respect.
In front of people who only respect strength, your "reasoning" is like dog crap—utterly worthless.
E Lai sneered and turned to leave, but Huntian Gang stopped him.
"Old man! What do you want now!?"
"He's right! I agree!"
"You agree, so why are you stopping me!?"
Huntian Gang grinned, "Right now, I'm the strongest here! My fists are the hardest, so I can demand fairness, right?"
Then he dropped the smile and stared coldly at E Lai, "Apologize!"
