Long Ziyang’s father was Long Potian, and in the eyes of servants he was the Young Master—no one dared offend him.

That type of family trash who, because they couldn’t cultivate, would be kicked around by all sorts of brainless servants—that was quite rare on Xingyun Continent.

So when the guard came to report, he not only addressed him as “Young Master Ziyang,” but his tone was also respectful.

“What?”

Long Potian stood up and said, “That little bastard came back?”

As a father, he naturally loved his own child.

But with so many elders present, he could only pretend to be angry, saying, “Good that he’s here! Arrest him and serve him family law!”

“…”

Black lines immediately rose on the elders’ foreheads.

If the Long Family’s family law is just getting beaten with boards, if this gets out, people will definitely laugh their teeth off.

“Family Head!”

The guard said, “Young Master Ziyang brought back quite a few people. They’ve already entered the inner courtyard!”

“Brought quite a few people?”

Long Potian was startled and strode out of the great hall.

Several Long Family elders hurried to follow, thinking discontentedly to themselves, “Did this brat forget that not just anyone can casually enter the Long Family!”

The Long Family was one of the three great families in Longyang City.

In terms of strength, compared to Saint Spring Sect and Mount Cang Sect, they were absolutely only stronger, not weaker.

For this kind of family, ordinary people couldn’t just casually come in.

Even when heads of small and medium-sized families came to visit, they had to wait politely for notification.

If permission was granted they could enter; if not granted they could only sigh and leave.

For Long Ziyang to bring people in on his own authority—this was somewhat problematic!

It was fortunate he had a father who was the Family Head covering for him. Otherwise, instead of family law, he’d be served with severe punishment—a complete package deal.

…

Inner courtyard.

Jun Changxiao stood with his disciples on the martial arts training ground.

“This Long Family is really magnificent!”

Su Xiaomo stood at the back, his eyes insufficient to look everywhere, deeply shocked by the splendid and resplendent buildings on all sides.

Tian Qi and Li Fei also had the appearance of Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

Lu Qianqian and Ye Xingchen were both people who had seen the world—one remained aloof, the other remained proud.

Li Qingyang was also observing, memorizing some nice architectural styles in his heart, secretly thinking that next time the sect underwent renovation, he could borrow from these for reference.

Look at that awareness!

Not giving him the position of Grand Internal Affairs Steward would absolutely be wasting his talents!

“Look at your lack of ambition.”

Jun Changxiao said, “Everyone straighten your backs for this seat.”

“Yes!”

Su Xiaomo and the others raised their heads and chests, hands behind their backs, standing straight as poles.

“Sect Master.”

Long Ziyang said, “I’ll go make the announcement.”

Sect Master?

The gate guards who had followed them in were all dumbfounded.

This youth who looked only eighteen or nineteen years old would be a sect’s sect master?

Also, the Young Master had been away from home so long—he joined a sect?

“Ahem.”

Just then, the Long Family Head came out of the great hall with the elders.

Upon seeing his son, he immediately launched into a tirade, saying, “You damned bastard, where in the world have you been running off to all this time!”

“…”

The corner of Jun Changxiao’s mouth twitched.

This “where in the world”—isn’t that my Tiegu Sect?

“Thud!”

When Long Ziyang saw Long Potian, his legs went weak and he directly knelt on the ground.

When he was young, he had been incredibly naughty and was constantly being punished with beatings by the Family Head. As his age increased, not only did his height grow, but his butt was also beaten into roundness and perkiness.

Don’t believe it?

Lift up his uniform in the back and you’d definitely see our Long Ziyang’s perky little butt.

Because the family discipline was too strict, Long Ziyang developed a strong sense of fear toward his father. Especially when he was angry, his legs would inevitably become disobedient from fright.

Jun Changxiao’s face darkened as he said, “Ziyang, this seat once said that a man’s knees don’t kneel to heaven or earth, only to the parents who gave birth to and raised him.”

He wanted all his disciples to have backbone and integrity.

Even if the other party was a family head, even if they themselves were juniors, they absolutely could not kneel!

“Sect Master…”

Long Ziyang said in a low voice, “He… he’s my father…”

“Even your father can’t…”

Father?

Jun Changxiao’s serious face instantly disappeared as he pretended to look at the magnificent buildings, saying, “Then just keep kneeling.”

This attitude change was way too damn fast!

“Ziyang.”

Long Potian glanced at Jun Changxiao, Li Qingyang, and the others, his face stern as he said, “Running away from home is one thing, but why did you bring so many people back? What do you think the Long Family is?”

“Father!”

Long Ziyang hurried to say, “He is…”

Just as he was about to speak, a Long Family elder behind coldly shouted, “How can such riffraff set foot in our Long Family? Quickly get out!”

The corner of Jun Changxiao’s mouth twitched.

Are all great families this domineering?

“My apologies.”

Jun Changxiao spread his hands, saying, “This seat has always walked places and doesn’t know how to roll. Why don’t you demonstrate it yourself?”

“Pfft.”

Liu Wanshi covered her mouth and laughed.

The Sect Master’s words are so funny!

That Long Family elder glared furiously, saying, “Boy, are you provoking this old one?”

“No, no, no.”

Jun Changxiao raised both hands and extended his middle fingers, his face full of disdain as he said, “This is what provocation looks like.”

Indeed, giving someone the middle finger was definitely provocation!

If this were on Earth, especially if you showed it to foreigners who were very sensitive to the middle finger, there would definitely be a fight.

Although Xingyun Continent didn’t have this highly insulting gesture of raising the middle finger, the Long Family elder could tell from Jun Changxiao’s facial expression that he was humiliating him!

At his own family’s doorstep, daring to be so arrogant!

This was intolerable!

“Whoosh whoosh!”

The Long Family elder’s sleeves rose without wind, and the cultivation of a Rank Six Wuzong instantly erupted. Streams of spiritual energy diffused outward, and that old face was filled with fury!

“Swoosh! Swoosh!”

Xiao Ziji was the first to block in front of the Sect Master, establishing communication with the Steadfast Iron Shield in his spatial ring, ready to retrieve it at any moment.

Tiegu Sect’s tank role—at any time his duty was to protect the Sect Master from harm!

Li Qingyang, Li Fei, and Tian Qi also moved closer.

Lu Qianqian raised her eyebrows, and her fair and icy jade hand had quietly rested on her sword hilt.

In contrast, Ye Xingchen made no movement at all. Looking at the Long Family elder who was erupting with cultivation, he said disdainfully, “Vulgar brute.”

Long Ziyang panicked.

He hurriedly said, “Father, this person is…”

“Ziyang.”

Jun Changxiao interrupted, saying, “This must be your Long Family’s special way of receiving guests. Since this seat has come, naturally I must experience it.”

Having said that, he waved his hand, saying, “Stand down.”

“Swoosh!”

Xiao Ziji, Li Qingyang, and the others stepped back.

“Arrogant junior, daring to cause trouble in my Long Family—you must have eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard!” The Long Family elder shouted coldly, the cultivation erupting from his body becoming even more imposing.

The corner of Long Ziyang’s mouth twitched.

My Second Elder, the Sect Master has completely crushed a Rank Two Wuwang before. If you think you’re stronger than a Wuwang, then please continue your show-off performance.

“Dragon’s Roar…”

“Wait a moment!”

The Second Elder’s hands were already circling, just about to unleash the Long Family martial technique when Long Potian raised his hand to stop him, saying, “Your Excellency refers to himself as ‘this seat’—could it be you’re someone of status?”

“Not very high.”

Jun Changxiao said, “The master of one sect.”

The master of one sect?

The Long Family elders immediately sneered.

This young man looked only eighteen or nineteen years old—he would be the master of a sect? This boasting was really something.

Or was it that because Tiegu Sect’s Sect Master was young and had gained widespread fame, many youngsters whose hair hadn’t even grown in yet were imitating him, casually gathering a few people to establish sects?

Long Potian said, “Which gate, which sect?”

He understood his own son—he wouldn’t bring strangers in for no reason.

These young people might not be simple, or perhaps they were brought here wanting to secure a good position in the family.

My son has finally grown up.

Going out once and bringing back several young people with good presence to add bricks and tiles to the family.

“Iron Bones Clanging Sect.”

Jun Changxiao’s voice was very calm.

But when Long Potian and the Long Family elders heard this, they were all stunned like wooden chickens.
