This was the first time Dao Protector Zhao had been humiliated to this degree. Even when he was a young man without much strength, he had never been humiliated like this. At most, his senior brother would beat him up and let it end there, and he never had to suffer such extreme humiliation.

Especially not from someone he had looked down on just moments ago.

He gritted his teeth and roared, "A man can be killed but not humiliated. Kill me if you dare, and see if the Song family will…"

Slap!

Another slap landed, and his face, along with a few of his front teeth, hit the ground.

"What the f*ck is wrong with you? You want to die that badly? If you want to die, then kill yourself. I won't kill you, and I will continue to teach you a lesson. What are you going to do about it? Can't take it? Cry to your mama then!"

Slap! Slap! Slap!

Repeated slaps echoed through the area, landing on Dao Protector Zhao's head every few words Wei Chen spoke.

Young Master Song smiled wryly. This expert had no demeanor of an expert at all. He was more like a hooligan. No, like a mortal hooligan who loved to show off and humiliate fallen opponents with vulgar language and without any class.

At this rate, Dao Protector Zhao might really do something rash, and that was the last thing Young Master Song wanted. He still needed Dao Protector Zhao to protect him on his cultivation path.

He could not let his protector be beaten until he became depressed and chose to commit suicide, could he?

"Er… senior," Young Master Song said as he cupped his fists toward Wei Chen, who was still slapping his Dao Protector.

Wei Chen paused his hand and looked toward Young Master Song.

"What the f*ck you want?"

Being greeted with such a rude sentence, Young Master Song's face twisted, but he did not dare show his anger. He quickly swallowed it and calmed himself down.

"Senior, what my Dao Protector meant by virtue is virtue based on strength. Since this divine pagoda belongs to senior, and senior also has the strength that matches such virtue, it undoubtedly belongs to senior," Young Master Song said, mixing his words with flattery.

Listening to this, Wei Chen frowned and scratched his head.

"Urrghhh…" Dao Protector Zhao groaned in agony and tried to get up, but…

Boom!

A punch from Wei Chen struck the back of his head, knocking him unconscious. Wei Chen then sealed his dantian.

Seeing that this hooligan only knocked his Dao Protector out and sealed his cultivation, Young Master Song let out a sigh of relief. At least his Dao Protector's life had been spared. With this outcome, his Dao Protector would owe him a favor. Maybe encountering this hooligan was not so bad after all.

While Young Master Song calculated in his mind, Wei Chen stood up and took out a broadcasting orb.

Young Master Song was confused and wondered what Wei Chen had just done, as he did not notice the broadcasting orb.

After Wei Chen made sure that Young Master Song was within the camera's view, he opened the introduction of his broadcast and edited it in his mind to display the title.

"Common Sense Education Season-1"

— Meanwhile - Ximen Clan Ancestor Estate —

In front of the main palace, built with spirit jade and golden nanmu wood, stood red and green dragon statues that were lifelike and eye catching, as if the dragons might rise into the sky at any moment. These were the signature statues of the Ximen Clan, and it was said that they were the statues Patriarch Ximen Hong loved the most.

There was a rumor that even his most beloved son, Ximen Hao, once drew on one of the statues. The patriarch immediately punished his son with several lashes and then ordered his servants to clean the drawing.

Inside the main estate, within the study room, a charismatic middle aged man sat behind a large desk, reading the report handed to him by his right hand man.

There was a frown on his face, along with a trace of confusion, as if the report were telling him that the sun had risen in the west.

The report stated that his useless son, Ximen Hao, had stopped all of his nonsense, such as bullying people or kidnapping girls from outside and forcing them to become his women. It also stated that he no longer caused trouble that required his father to intervene.

In fact, it had been a few weeks since he last needed to clean up after his foolish son when he made a mess outside.

There was a time long ago when Ximen Hao kidnapped the daughter of a general under the command of the Murong Clan. At that time, Ximen Hong even had to compensate the other side with a Miraculous Yin Lotus, one of the most precious ingredients of the Heaven Soothing Pill, which could help one withstand heavenly tribulation.

Now, he no longer needed to clean up his son's mess. He felt both relieved and worried.

He was relieved because, perhaps, just perhaps, his foolish son had finally grown up.

As for the worry, he feared that this foolish son was planning to do something extremely stupid, such as offending the Divine Vermilion Bird Emperor, or kidnapping the beloved daughter of the Song Clan or even the Murong Clan Patriarch.

There was another reason for his concern.

"Tian Hu," Ximen Hong addressed his right hand man, who was standing in front of him.

"Yes, my lord," Tian Hu replied.

"Are you sure there is no foreign soul, such as the soul of an old monster who cheated death, inside my son's body?" Ximen Hong asked. This was one of his greatest worries.

"Please rest assured, my lord. I personally checked it myself. I guarantee that there is no foreign soul in Young Master's body. Besides, before his behavior changed, he had not entered any secret realm either," Tian Hu reported.

Hearing this, Ximen Hong felt somewhat relieved. However, deep in his heart, it was still difficult for him to believe that his foolish son had grown up on his own without anything forcing him to change.

At this moment, a guard rushed into the study room.

"My lord, my lord, there is a situation!" the guard said in panic.

Hearing this, a ridiculing smile appeared on Ximen Hong's face. "And here I thought that foolish son of mine had grown up," he muttered under his breath before addressing the guard.

"What happened? Did my stupid son do something outrageous again? Did he decide to kidnap the jade like daughter of the Murong Clan or some saintess from a sect this time? Tell me," Ximen Hong asked.

Hearing the question, the guard looked confused. "Err… My lord…. I do not think Young Master did anything like that. He has already boarded the flying ark and gone to the Martial Exchange Grand Stage in Azure River Province."

"So it is just some girl in that mediocre province? Hmm, that is fine," Ximen Hong said with a sigh of relief.

"No, my lord, this is not 'the usual' case," the guard said. He scratched his head and smiled wryly, emphasizing the words "the usual."

"Then what is this about? Say it clearly, damn it!" Ximen Hong snapped, growing annoyed at the guard for beating around the bush.

"My lord, in the ancestral estate square, there is a strange giant screen that has appeared in the main square!" the guard finally reported.

"What did you say?"

— Meanwhile - Ximen Clan Flying Ark—

Within the study room, Ximen Hao was working on the finances of the Law Enforcement Hall. This was something he needed to handle personally if he wanted to win the support of the master of the Vault of Prosperity Hall.

If he succeeded, it would be as if he had gained control of the Ximen Clan's wallet, which would cause his influence to increase by leaps and bounds.

At this time, a graceful figure walked into the study room and placed a tray with tea and osmanthus cake on the table.

Ximen Hao paused and looked up. The newcomer was Xiao Mei, Yun Feng's childhood sweetheart.

"Young Master, please rest for a bit," Xiao Mei said in her usual soothing voice.

Ximen Hao put down his brush, took a sip of tea, and set the cup aside before tasting the osmanthus cake on the plate.

"Seriously, I do not know why you wanted to follow me. Do you not have classes in the Hall of Nurturing Wisdom? If you skip your studies too often, they might not let you pass," Ximen Hao said while munching on the cake.

"Please rest assured, Young Master. I have already passed the second level test. My teacher told me to rest for now and also to follow Young Master to serve you," Xiao Mei replied calmly.

At this moment, a beeping sound came from the U-Phone placed on the table, and Ximen Hao immediately opened it to check.

"Oh? A new broadcast? Interesting. Let's see what it is about," Ximen Hao said with amusement before opening the broadcast screen.
