Chapter 426 The Truth of the Matter!
Chapter 426 The Truth of the Matter!
"BLECH—"
"PTOOEY! PTOOEY! PTOOEY!"
Zhang Cangsong felt like he was going to die. A violent wave of nausea washed over him, and he began to vomit uncontrollably.
It was fucking dog shit! He had actually eaten dog shit!
As the young master of the Zhang Family, he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. The only things that ever passed his lips were precious medicinal herbs and gourmet foods. But now...
For a moment, he wished he could just dig a hole on the spot and bury himself in it. After eating dog shit in public, how could he ever show his face again?!
Nearby, Han Zongwei was also being roused by Qi Yuanchen. He looked up, utterly bewildered. A powerful stench assaulted his senses, making him feel the urge to vomit as well, and he instinctively covered his nose and mouth.
Then, he noticed the members of Dragon Gate roaring with laughter, which only confused him more. What’s going on? What are they all laughing about?
His eyes then fell upon Zhang Cangsong, who was retching nonstop. He asked with curiosity, "Zhang Cangsong, why does it stink so much over here?"
Hearing his name, Zhang Cangsong immediately turned his head.
"You..."
The sight of Zhang Cangsong’s face, smeared with a black, sticky substance that he was still spitting out, stunned Han Zongwei. Shocked, he blurted out, "What the hell are you eating?"
Qi Yuanchen answered for him. "He’s eating dog shit."
"!!!"
Han Zongwei’s eyes widened in horror.
Dog...
His mind went blank. He was dumbfounded. I never imagined Zhang Cangsong’s tastes were so extreme. Are there really people who like to eat this stuff?!
Seeing Han Zongwei awake, Zhang Cangsong’s eyes lit up as if he were grabbing a lifeline. The overwhelming shame had made him completely forget the intense pain in his body. He struggled to his feet and stumbled toward Han Zongwei. "Brother... Brother Han, I..."
"What the hell!" Han Zongwei yelped, leaping up from the ground. "Don’t come near me! Get away from me and eat your...!"
But Zhang Cangsong was relentless, desperately chasing after him.
Unable to take it anymore, Han Zongwei tried to kick Zhang Cangsong away. However, his injuries made the attempt pitifully weak. Not only did the kick fail to push Zhang Cangsong back, but Zhang Cangsong managed to grab his leg.
Thrown off balance, Han Zongwei crashed to the ground, bringing Zhang Cangsong down with him.
By a terrible twist of fate, Zhang Cangsong fell right on top of him.
A jolt of pure terror shot through Han Zongwei. He tried to dodge, but it was too late.
Zhang Cangsong’s face slammed squarely against his. A direct hit.
Han Zongwei wanted to die. Just moments ago, he had been fine. Now, thanks to this idiot Zhang Cangsong, he had also tasted the vile stuff.
In a fit of fury, he summoned all of his energies. His clenched fist slammed into Zhang Cangsong’s mouth!
"ARGH!"
Zhang Cangsong screamed in agony as a mouthful of teeth scattered across the ground.
"B-Brother Han..." Zhang Cangsong looked at Han Zongwei, his face a mask of innocence.
"Shut up!" Han Zongwei was livid. "Get the hell out of my sight! I don’t want to see you! I really fucking want to strangle you to death right here, right now!"
Startled, Zhang Cangsong snapped his mouth shut, not daring to utter another word.
"HAHAHA—"
"This is hilarious!"
"Two members of the Baiyue Sect fighting over freshly served dog shit! When this bombshell gets out, it’s going to shake the whole sect."
"As expected of the Baiyue Sect! So united! They even share their delicacies with their teammates!"
Seeing the spectacle, Qi Yuanchen and the others erupted in laughter. Zhang Cangsong and Han Zongwei were mortified, wishing the ground would swallow them whole.
Though humiliated, Han Zongwei wasn’t about to back down. He snarled, "You people from Dragon Gate have some nerve! I swear you’ll pay a painful price for this!"
"Oh, we’re so scared!" Qi Yuanchen feigned terror, though his eyes were filled with contempt. "Looks like the shit from earlier wasn’t enough to shut your mouth! Come on, make us pay. Let’s see how steep the price is. Let’s see if you have the strength to back up your words, or if it’s all just talk."
Seeing Qi Yuanchen’s brazen arrogance, Han Zongwei felt like he was about to explode. He desperately wanted to eliminate him on the spot, but in his current state, all he could do was fantasize. The frustration was unbearable.
Long Chen turned to Qi Yuanchen. "I’ll leave these two to you. Handle it properly, understand?"
Qi Yuanchen nodded. "Sect Master, rest assured. I’ll teach them a lesson and make them submit."
"Good." Long Chen acknowledged him, then led Long Xin and the others to a nearby pavilion to wait for the outcome.
"Let us go!" Han Zongwei shouted. "I’m warning you, if you don’t release us, the Baiyue Sect will make you regret this! If Dragon Gate knows what’s good for it, you’ll let us go. As long as you release me, I can let today’s incident slide..."
Before he could finish, Qi Yuanchen cut him off. "Scared now? Weren’t you pretty arrogant a moment ago?"
Without his teeth, Han Zongwei’s words whistled, making his speech utterly comical. He shook his head frantically. "Let me go! If you let me go, I’ll owe you a favor..."
"Stop right there!" Qi Yuanchen’s voice was cold as ice. "I don’t need a favor from you. I just need you to tell the truth!"
Han Zongwei looked at him, confused. "The truth about what?"
Qi Yuanchen’s voice grew stern. "Tell me about your underhanded scheme. Tell me exactly how you managed to sabotage our last batch of Elixir Pills!"
Still unrepentant, Han Zongwei continued to play dumb. "This is outrageous! This has nothing to do with us! You can’t just use this as an excuse to frame us! You people from Dragon Gate..."
"Oh," Qi Yuanchen replied with chilling indifference. He turned to another Dragon Gate member and ordered, "Go and invite our fellow disciples over. Let them have a good look at the current state of Brother Han and Zhang Cangsong."
"What?!"
Hearing this, the color drained from Zhang Cangsong’s and Han Zongwei’s faces. They cried out in unison, "Don’t!"
"Please don’t call anyone over!"
If everyone came and saw them in this condition, would they ever have a place in the sect again?
