The Crazy Son-In-Law

“Yes, we are all respectable people, this is too humiliating,” someone voiced.

“Why don’t we let Mr. Nie pour you a cup of wine, and we’ll forget about this incident. Once we’re out of this room, we’ll erase it from our minds, what do you think?”

“Words spoken when drunk shouldn’t be taken seriously, I think we should let it go, no need to take it to heart.”

The others chimed in agreement.

Clatter, clatter, clatter! Xiao Shun pounded on the table, his gaze slowly sweeping over everyone present, and he let out a cold laugh.

“Would you all say the same if I were the one losing?” he challenged.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

“Would you let me off if I lost, Mr. Xia?”

“Who handed you these double standards, were they born with you?”

With each sentence, his voice grew louder, carrying an undeniable pressure.

Immediately, the people who just spoke were left speechless, their faces turning the color of pig liver.

Cheng Yu, on the other hand, was calm. This was the effect he wanted. His previous words were meant just for Nie Yue.

However, Xiao Shun was brainless, not knowing when to stop.

Not only had he offended Nie Yue, he had also offended everyone present.

These people were all important upcoming figures from their families; if he really wanted to make a name for himself in the capital, he would undoubtedly face immense resistance.

At this point, Nie Yue was already unable to contain his anger. He tried to stand up for his beloved girl, but was outmaneuvered, which was already humiliating enough.

Now, he was being asked to kneel and kowtow, which was worse than death!

His father was the vice president of the Old School Society in the southeast, a real local lord. Even the rich children in the capital, including those from the three big families, had to show him some respect.

In the capital, aside from the second generation of those in the big courtyards, there were few he didn’t dare to provoke.

Today, he was unexpectedly outwitted by a country bumpkin, how could he swallow this?

Tang Shishi also knew that Nie Yue was not to be trifled with, and quietly tugged at Xiao Shun’s shirt.

For the sake of being more agile during archery, and due to the indoor heat, he had taken off his suit jacket and placed it on the sofa earlier.

She murmured softly, “Maybe we should just let it go.”

Kong Yi was thoughtfully swirling the wine in his glass, remaining silent, lost in his thoughts.

As soon as Tang Shishi’s words fell…

Whoosh! An arrow cut through the air, heading straight for Xiao Shun.

In the blink of an eye, he quickly grabbed his suit jacket from the side, gave it a swift shake, and with a swoosh, caught the speeding arrow inside it.

The room immediately descended into chaos, filled with screams of surprise. No one had expected Nie Yue to suddenly attack.

Even though the bow and arrow weren’t designed for killing like those on the ancient battlefield, a hit in the vital spot could still be fatal.

Everyone had just witnessed Nie Yue’s archery skills; he could easily hit a vital spot if he wanted to.

Even Kong Yi, who had been relatively calm, quickly dodged to the side, afraid of getting injured.

If he were to be hurt by this madman Nie Yue, even the Kong family wouldn’t be able to do much.

Nie Jiuchong was reportedly an advanced practitioner. His abilities were amongst the top in the nation. Even though the Kong family was rich and had a number of practitioners under their wing, they were no match for him.

Moreover, he controlled the power of the entire southeastern region of the Old School Society, making him extremely formidable.

No one dared to provoke someone of such power, regardless of wealth; after all, everyone only has one life.

The bystanders quickly cleared out, allowing Nie Yue to become even more reckless. He drew his bow and started moving, shooting rapidly, showing impressive skill.

“I’m going to kill you!”

Nie Yue, like a raging beast, roared with red eyes and a distorted face.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

He shot three arrows in quick succession, the fast-moving arrows shooting towards Xiao Shun from different angles.

Xiao Shun raised his hand, and an overwhelming surge of power burst out. The small square table in front of him levitated, suddenly tilted, and positioned itself between him and Tang Shishi.

*Bang, Bang!*

Two arrows forcefully penetrated the table, a clear indication of Nie Yue’s murderous intent. Another arrow was already on its way. Xiao Shun swiftly swung his suit jacket again, rolling the last arrow inside it.

Suddenly, he kicked the floating table, sending it hurtling towards Nie Yue with a howl. Nie Yue, although burly, was far from clumsy. Seeing the table coming at him like a mountain crashing down, he moved swiftly as the wind.

*Boom!*

The small table crashed into a glass-covered wall, shattering it into countless pieces. Xiao Shun knew Nie Yue was targeting him and had no intention of hurting Tang Shishi, so he pushed her aside.

He immediately initiated the Ripple Steps, his figure ghost-like, transforming into visible shadows, rapidly approaching Nie Yue.

*Whoosh, whoosh!*

Two more arrows, all missed their target. Nie Yue was taken aback. From their brief exchange, he could clearly sense the power of Xiao Shun. Today, he had met his match.

However, in his moment of confusion, Xiao Shun suddenly appeared in front of him.

*Boom!*

A powerful gust hit him like a lightning-fast train. Nie Yue’s muscular body was sent flying backwards like a kite with a snapped string. Suddenly, he felt something tugging at his body. He didn’t fall as expected and realized Xiao Shun’s jacket was wrapped around his ankle, as if the jacket had a life of its own.

The next second, he sensed danger, his mind going blank. But, suspended in mid-air, he was helpless, unable to resist or counterattack.

In a flash, Xiao Shun exerted force, pulling Nie Yue’s nearly 200 kilos body with his jacket as if it were feather-light, and ruthlessly slammed him onto the ground.

Another *boom* echoed. The wooden floor splintered instantly, wood chips flying everywhere. Nie Yue felt as if an invisible hand was violently stirring his organs, his entire body felt as if it had been shattered, the pain was unbearable.

His vision darkened, and he lost consciousness.

The archery range quieted down again, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Everyone stared, dumbfounded at the fallen Nie Yue, unsure of how to react.

Xiao Shun shook his suit, walked to the rest area, and said casually to Cheng Yu, “I might have been a little heavy-handed, probably injured your friend. Could you take him to the hospital, Yu? I’ll cover the medical bills and the repair fees here.”

Cheng Yu nodded emotionlessly.

“Also, next time you borrow a knife, remember to get a sharper one, or it might fold or even break.”

Cheng Yu didn’t respond, just gave him a cold look and smirked internally. Was this about medical and repair costs? He had no idea how much trouble he was in. Ignorant fool.

Xiao Shun went over to pick up the car keys, put them in his suit pocket, and said calmly, “I’ll have someone pick up the car later.”

He then walked over to Tang Shishi, casually placed his hand around her slender waist, and said affectionately, “Darling, let’s go home.”

Tang Shishi, overwhelmed by the events at the birthday party, nodded subconsciously.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the two left the archery range.
