Chapter 34: Instant Slap in the Face

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Song Lin was taken aback. “What? That’s Lu Yu?”

Song Lin had just heard from the dojo master of the East End Dojo, Tan Jun, all about Lu Yu’s achievements.

In just a year, he had advanced from a Grade 1 Martial Arts Warrior to a Great Martial Master. His speed of advancement was astonishing and unheard of.

Moreover, during the battle with the Fearsome Beasts attacking the city just now, Lu Yu alone had slain his way through the hordes of attacking beasts, turning the defensive battle into an offensive battle. In the end, he successfully repelled this wave of Fearsome Beasts.

After this battle, his powerful combat ability was held in high regard by the City Lord and even the Military Lord. He was thereafter appointed as the new dojo master and the new captain of the 4th Squadron.

Instantly, Song Lin’s face was filled with panic.

The Great Martial Master, dojo master of the Central Dojo, and Captain of the 4th Squadron.

Any one of these three identities by itself was already so much more powerful than him, the head of a branch of the Song family, let alone all three identities concentrated on one single person.

Standing on one side, Song Ding didn’t know about Lu Yu’s achievements and identity. He asked with a puzzled expression,

“Dad, do you guys know this Lu Yu? But he bullied me. Dad, you must help me seek justice.”

When Song Lin heard that, he slapped Song Ding angrily and scolded, “Justice your head! Do you know who you’ve offended? I myself don’t even dare to provoke the other party.”

“What? How is that possible?”

Song Ding was very shocked to hear this. Logically speaking, this shouldn’t be the case. His father knew all the famous and influential people in this city. Song Ding had the guts to extort protection fees from Lu Yu precisely because he thought Lu Yu did not possess much ability and was a nobody . He didn’t expect such a reaction from his father.

......

Song Lin was panicking at his moment. If the other party pursued the matter, they would be finished.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Song Lin still decided to protect his son.

“Go! As punishment, write out the family rules 10 times. After you’re done, quickly follow me to go out,” Song Lin said angrily.

Song Ding had a blank look on his face. “Dad, why did you suddenly ask me to write out the family rules? Besides, I’m still injured.”

Song Lin’s expression was icy cold. “Just go when I tell you to. Do you hear me?”

Song Ding didn’t dare to say anything else. He didn’t even dare to breathe out loud and immediately started writing.

After Song Ding had copied out the family rules 10 times, Song Lin brought Song Ding out.

…

At the tall building housing the old dojo,

Lu Yu was resting on the 9th floor while the workers were still renovating the first floor.

At this point, Song Lin brought Song Ding and a large group of people over to the dojo. Among them, the East End Dojo Master, Tan Jun, also tagged along to take a look.

When the workers saw that so many people had arrived, and many of them had strong auras and were obviously powerful martial arts practitioners, they immediately panicked.

“Isn’t this the person who was injured by the Honorable Mr. Lu?” One of the workers recognized Song Ding.

“Quick, inform Mr. Lu,” another worker said.

Song Lin entered with the large group of people and asked, “Where is Mr. Lu Yu?”

Out of fear, a worker revealed that Lu Yu was on the 9th floor.

Song Lin then brought his men upstairs.

On the 9th floor,

Lu Yu was resting when a worker rushed over frantically.

“Sir, bad news. The person that you taught a lesson to has returned and there’s a large group of people with him. I think a few of them are extraordinary and should be very powerful. What should we do?” the worker asked frantically.

Hearing this, Lu Yu, who was resting and conserving his energy with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and said with a calm expression, “Got it. You guys stay on one side so that you don’t get hurt. I’ll go meet them.”

Just as Lu Yu was about to go downstairs, Song Lin came up with a group of people.

Seeing Lu Yu, Song Lin narrowed his eyes. From Lu Yu’s body, Song Lin didn’t sense any powerful aura. He only felt that Lu Yu was an advanced Martial Arts Warrior. He didn’t even have the strength of a Martial Master, let alone a Great Martial Master. Song Lin immediately felt that this guy did not quite live up to the hype.

However, Song Lin still stepped forward and said with a smile, “Nice to meet you. You must be Mr. Lu Yu, right? I’m Song Lin, the head of a branch of the Song Family. My useless son has just offended you, so he’s here to offer comfort.”

Hearing this, Lu Yu frowned. Offer comfort? This phrase sounded a bit ridiculous.

Lu Yu nodded slightly. “That’s right. I’m Lu Yu.”

Song Lin hurriedly stepped forward and shook his hand. He put on an ingratiating front to get close to Lu Yu, then began chatting with him,

“I’m really sorry about this. This child is really thoughtless.”

“Look, I’ve already made him copy the family rules 10 times. I’ll definitely strengthen his education in the future.”

“Mr. Lu Yu, as a magnanimous person, I hope you won’t hold it against a mere child.”

“This is actually a misunderstanding all along. He didn’t know it was you. If he knew, he definitely wouldn’t have provoked you.”

“Besides, you’ve already beaten up my son. So we are considered even now. This matter is settled then.”

“…”

As Lu Yu listened to the other party’s long-winded speech, it was all about forgiving them. There was no sincerity in apologizing, nor was there any intention of compensating him.

In particular, the other party seemed to think that there was nothing wrong with this matter, and that it was only because of Lu Yu that he bothered to make this trip.

If it was someone else, wouldn’t that mean that he would let his son act with complete disregard for the law?

He was simply bullying the weak and fearing the strong!

Lu Yu laughed scornfully and said, “In other words, if it was someone else who was not as powerful as you guys, you can bully them without a second thought?”

When Song Lin heard this, he was stunned for a moment. The logic was like this, but it was obviously inappropriate to say it out directly.

“No, no, that’s not what I meant.” Song Lin waved his hands in denial.

Lu Yu’s face was already filled with anger as he said, “Your son injured my workers and smashed my things. He didn’t even apologize and still had the balls to come and ask for my forgiveness? What a joke!”

Song Lin’s expression immediately turned awkward. He usually lived like a prince, so who would dare to be so disrespectful to him?

On top of that, in his opinion, Song Lin’s attitude towards Lu Yu was so pleasant, but Lu Yu refused to let the matter rest. That was too much.

However, Lu Yu turned to Song Ding standing by the side and said sternly, “Didn’t I tell you to pay me protection fees every time you see me? If you don’t pay up now, then prepare to get beaten up!”

With that, Lu Yu activated Shadowstep. With a flash of his body, he cleverly bypassed Song Lin and reached Song Ding.

Song Ding, who had suffered at Lu Yu’s hands earlier, was filled with fear.

Song Lin, who was now behind him, recovered himself and his face turned menacing. He shouted in a threatening manner, “How dare you! What do you want?”

However, Lu Yu completely ignored his question and threw a punch at his son.

How could Song Ding, a junior Martial Arts Warrior, be a match for Lu Yu? He was sent flying by Lu Yu in an instant, smashing into the wall before coming to a stop. He kept coughing up blood.

With just a single punch, he was already severely injured.

Song Lin hurried over to check on his son’s situation. His injuries were not light, and he would need at least half a month to recover.

Instantly, Song Lin’s face turned ashen.

It was truly a slap in the face for him to have his son be lectured in public.

Song Lin looked at Lu Yu and said in a menacing voice, “How dare you! I respected you and wanted to calm things down between us, but you showed me this kind of attitude. On top of that, you dare to attack my son again? Do you really think I’m such a pushover? Today, if I don’t let you have a taste of your own medicine, you don’t know what’s good for you!”

With these words, Song Lin slowly walked over to Lu Yu and prepared to attack.
