Cultivation Daddy-Chapter 98: Apologies

Li Cheng lay on the floor breathing heavily when they were taken from the crystal mini world.

"You look so wasted." Li Zhang laughed softly when he saw his older brother laying on the ground weakly.

"You still have the nerve to laugh. How dare you hit me so hard? I’m your twin for God’s sake!" Li Cheng shouted angrily and sat up from the floor. His body felt like a piece of broken wood after all the exertions just now.

Li Zhang rolled his eyes and scoffed.

"If you’d given up and allowed me to mark you one more time, I wouldn’t have been forced to hit you repeatedly."

"Nonsense! Why would I give up? The whole point is to protect the tower." Li Cheng said looking at Li Zhang as if he was an idiot.

"Hmph! Then don’t complain about being hit."

Li Zhang rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"Oh please, if it wasn’t because brother Han was there as well, I would’ve easily beaten you into a pulp. You wouldn’t have survived without his help." Li Cheng said.

"Of course, I would’ve lived without his help. How much effort does it take to beat you up? Without cultivation, you guys are all talk." Li Zhang mocked sarcastically.

"You want to say that again?!"

Li Cheng stood up and stared at Li Zhang.

"Just kidding, just joking." Li Zhang tried to dodge his twin brother’s wrathful stare.

"Go clean up and do your daily activities, dinner will be in an hour." Li Jain told the two.

"Ok!" Li Cheng and Li Zhang replied.

They both rushed out of the room.

It was already five o’clock in the evening, but it felt like it had only been a few minutes since they returned home.

"Hey, I still don’t know how you won that game." Yuhan said to Yujian as they entered the house.

"That’s a secret~" Yujian winked at Yuhan.

Yuhan rolled his eyes: "So mysterious."

"Alright, it was all thanks to you focusing on irrelevant things at the beginning and not farming resources. When I saw that Cheng and Sheng won’t be a match for you and Zhang in actual hand combat, I told Sheng to retreat. Among the resources they collected, there was a speed boost and invisibility charm.

Using your blind spots, Sheng ran to your base and dismissed the trap you set up. The rest was easy. You guys didn’t even release your minions. With our minions within your tower range, the rest was easy." Li Yujian explained .

Yuhan looked at his brother and shook his head disapprovingly: "Yujian, you’re so cunning.

"I know, it’s why I’m great!" Li Yujian smirked, he was in a rare good mood.

"I want to play next time." Li Jingxuan said sourly, he was the most excited about the game, yet he was the one who didn’t get to play.

Yuhan rubs Jingxuan’s hair lovingly: "Sure, you and Zhang will play for our team next time. I want to see what the overview of the field looks like."

"Ok," Jingxuan said happily.

"Next time, we’ll surely win!" Yuhan grinned at Li Yujian while he spoke.

"Good luck, that’ll not happen." Li Yujian chuckled: "I’ll be playing as well and Cheng will be our captain. Do you still think you stand a chance?"

Yuhan: "..."

"Anyway, don’t underestimate us!" Jingxuan said boldly, patting the back of Yuhan’s hand so he shouldn’t worry.

"We’ll see," Yujian smirk, he wasn’t planning on going easy on his brothers.

....

Dinner at Li’s residence was the same as usual. Fan Ruyin was used to it by now. The only stain in her eyes is Liu Xiong. The more she watched harmoniously he got along with everyone, the angrier she became.

She just can’t believe how the kids accept his relationship with their father!

What she didn’t know is, the children didn’t accept Liu Xiong from the beginning, it was all thanks to her ulterior thoughts that they rather chose Liu Xiong than have her as their mother.

After dinner, the Li household receives an unexpected guest.

"Sir, the old man from the Yan family is here to see you." Bai Lian sent a voice message through the communication talisman.

"Got it," Li Jian said, then walked outside.

Li Yuhan and Li Zhang heard the Yan family and quickly followed right behind him.

They entered the pavilion where the guests were waiting. Madam Yan, known as Yan Qing greets, was standing with her son Yan Zhenghao along with the old master Yan.

Unlike the previous day in Fengwu City, they look less arrogant and more humble.

Just one look and you can tell that this mother and son pair has been disciplined, hence it was easy to imagine what kind of treatment they undergo to make them this humble looking in just two days.

The old patriarch Yan smiled lightly: "Greeting, Xiao Jain. Sorry for the trouble my grandson and daughter in-law caused. This old man has taken it upon himself and has made sure that such a thing won’t happen again."

"It’s alright Sir, you didn’t have to come all the way here. I have already vented my anger. " Li Jian said politely.

The truth is, he had already forgotten about this mother and son pair. After all, he was sure that it wouldn’t happen again.

Otherwise...

Old patriarch Yan observed Li Jain’s expression closely, to make sure that he’d really let the matter go and wasn’t just being polite.

Seeing that Li Jian didn’t show any intention of getting angry, Old Yan was finally relieved.

"Thank you Xiao Jain for understanding, my foolish son isn’t strict with his wives so they’re getting bolder by the day. As his father I am ashamed to admit his stupidity." Old Yan smiled apologetically.

Yan Qing was ashamed, her face was red, she lowered her head.

Old Yan turned his attention toward Yan Zhenghao: "The Li Brothers are here, why aren’t you apologizing?"

"Ah...ah...yes!" Yan Zhenghao stuttered while staring at Li Yuhan and Li Zhang.

He was used to bullying Yuhan who doesn’t fight back, but he’d never met Li Zhang. Yet today, he was a little bit scared of the kid that was obviously younger than him.

However, he didn’t dare to speak his thoughts or say anything disrespectful. For Yan Zhenghao who the entire Yan family treats as a treasure, these past two days have been a nightmare to him. He doesn’t want to go through anything like that again.

He quickly knelt down to the two brothers: "Please forgive me. I take back everything I said, it won’t happen again."

The two brothers were surprised to see Yan Zhenghao kowtowing. Especially Yuhan, he hadn’t seen the young master Yan Zhenghao act like this before. No matter what wrong he did, the family always tolerated him because of his talent and also because his father was the current patriarch.

Even so, Yuhan knew very well that Yan Zhenghao wasn’t just pretending to behave submissively in front of him just to show off and impress his grandfather.

No matter what sort of punishment he went through, he deserved it.

Before Yuhan could respond, Li Zhang stepped forward: "Don’t think you can pretend to be submissive in front of the elders and insult my brother behind their backs. The next time I catch you doing that, I will beat you into a pulp again!"

When Li Zhang mentioned that, he glared fiercely at Yan Zhenghao.

This threat seems to be effective. Yan Zhenghao’s face immediately became pale and he shivered in fear: "I’m not pretending, I’m really sorry."

"Hmph, whatever. You should be apologizing to my second brother." Li Jain scoffed

"Yes, yes!" Yan Zhenghao quickly nodded and immediately bowed to Li Yuhan.

The old patriarch Yan looks at their interactions and laughs, now this is what it means to intermediate someone. Only when they know what you’re capable of, would they fear you. He thought to himself.

He decided to ignore Yan Zhenghao’s situation and instead he directed his smile towards Li Jain: "Let the children settle their differences, I need to talk to you about something." He paused and turned to Yan Qing: "Find something else to do woman, and be glad that Mr Li decided to let this go, otherwise..." he said with a stern tone.

Yan Qing knows that the old man has worked hard to build his Yan family and won’t stand anyone who brings shame on his family or tries to ruin it. Li Jain is someone the old man sees as an allie and has great respect for. If she continues to provoke Li Jain’s family, she would suffer severe consequences.

"Yes, sir!" she bowed and hurriedly left the area.

Among the younger generations of the Yan family, Yan Zhenghao is the one with the highest talent for cultivation. His chance for being the future patriarch is very high, she can’t afford to ruin her son’s opportunity. If she loses her favor, it’s over.

After Yan Qing left, old Yan and Li Jain walked to the side to talk.
