Chapter 448: Can Old Sixth Hear the Inner Voice Too?

“Forget it. Kowtowing and apologizing is too light a punishment for you, Old Sixth. I’m afraid it won’t be enough to dispel Cousin’s hatred.”

“At this point, Mom can only personally take action and grapple you!”

“Come on, Mom! Let Old Six, who already has a path to death, properly experience some pain!!!”

“………….”

Third Young Master Tang sighed and issued the grappling command to his own mother.

The next second, Xu Shuyun, who deeply agreed, responded at once.

In order to let Lin Xuan calm down sooner and fight for a way out for her sixth son,

she directly used her elbow to bind Tang Hao’s neck.

Mother’s Grapple!!!!

Tang Hao was dumbfounded again o(o▽o”a, unable to understand why his family would go this far for his beastly cousin?!!

Luckily, Xu Shuyun was just an ordinary person. Her “Mom Grapple” looked scary, but in reality, it couldn’t break Tang Hao’s defense.

Still, Tang Hao pretended he was being choked and couldn’t breathe, deciding to endure and submit for now, and later privately ask why everyone’s personalities had changed so drastically.

“I’m sorry! Cousin,”

“It’s fine! There is no greater good than correcting one’s mistakes! Your cousin is broad-minded and magnanimous. I’m not the petty type.”

To be honest, Lin Xuan was pretty surprised by how much his uncle’s family sided with him, and his gaze toward Tang Hao changed a little.

…………….

[Originally, since my Old Sixth was so hostile toward me. I really didn’t want to stick my warm face against a cold butt, or interfere with his doomed ending. Letting Jiang Yangping suck him into a dried corpse would be fine too.]

[But Uncle and the others are favoring me so much now. If I really watched him die without saving him, I’d feel a little guilty.]

[Later, I might as well find an excuse to stop Old Sixth from crossing the river to find his master?]

[Anyway, Jiang Yangping’s main targets are those martial artists. The stronger they are, the easier it is for him to fix his eyes on them.]

[As long as Qingge and I hunker down inside the restaurant and go nowhere, when Jiang Yangping slaughters everyone until they cry for their moms, my brother-in-law will naturally arrive fashionably late at the final moment and activate show-off mode……….]

[And after he defeats Jiang Yangping, he will naturally be regarded as a savior by all the powerful people and martial arts experts present. They’ll flatter him, kneel and lick his boots in all sorts of ways, and he’ll steal the entire spotlight.]

[Tsk tsk tsk…… the classic face-slapping, show-off routine you always see in webnovels………]

……………

[However, with Old Sixth’s show-off-loving personality, he definitely won’t listen to my advice. He’ll turn around and walk with that arrogant “I fear no one” stride, under everyone’s gaze, straight toward the master he worships most.]

[Little does he know, his master, who has already suffered qi deviation and fallen into demonic obsession, will be the first to strike at him, thus pulling open the curtain on today’s massacre……..]

[Until the moment before death, Old Sixth will still have a face full of disbelief and shout:]

[”Impossible, absolutely impossible!!! Master, you’re joking with me, right?!”]

[Then he’ll have his head blown apart on the spot by the demonized Jiang Yangping, his brains bursting out, and be sucked into a human husk.]

[Sigh, we’re relatives after all. Should I remind him later or not? If I let him die, is that too heartless?]

[After all, Uncle and Aunt have treated me pretty well. If I watch them lose their beloved son, I’ll feel uneasy……….]

[Following the current timeline……….]

[After Old Sixth dies, Uncle turns gray overnight, and Aunt almost cries herself blind.]

[And Old Sixth’s death will also become the fuse. From then on, cracks will gradually appear in Uncle and Aunt’s relationship: arguments, blame, accusing each other of incompetence, until their relationship completely breaks down and they divorce………]

……………

When Lin Xuan’s inner thoughts rang out, Tang Guoan and his wife both looked delighted, letting out a huge sigh of relief.

Finally… finally there was hope, finally they’d found a path to save their foolish Old Sixth.

They’d been worrying: Jiang Yangping was so strong, how could they possibly rescue their son from his hands?

Ordinary methods would not work at all, and using force was even more ridiculous. Who could deal with a martial arts grandmaster?!

With the slightest carelessness, forget saving Old Sixth; perhaps even the entire Tang family might be reduced to ashes in an instant.

Now, with their nephew’s inner voice tipping them off, they finally knew the method to preserve their precious son’s little life.

The only thing that surprised them was……….

This method was actually so simple? They only had to hunker down in the private room and not go out???

Even though it sounded unbelievable, the Tang family’s trust in Lin Xuan was now basically blind, unconditional obedience.

They looked at each other, then nodded together in tacit understanding, determined that no matter what Old Sixth wanted to do later, they absolutely would not allow him to leave this private room by even half a step……….

If Old Sixth dared refuse, and stubbornly insisted on walking toward the path of death…….

Then they could only join forces and take turns using the family’s unique secret technique, passed down through generations, on Tang Hao…

Dad Grapple!!!!!

Mom Grapple!!!!!

Big Brother Grapple!!!!!

Little Sister Grapple!!!!!

Gathering the power of the Tang family’s four great familial bonds, they refused to believe they could not keep Tang Hao here?!!

However, at this moment, the Tang family still had one puzzling doubt in their hearts.

That…. Who was the brother-in-law Lin Xuan mentioned?

He actually possessed the strength to defeat a martial arts grandmaster?!

That was truly terrifying~~~~

If the other party was really their eldest nephew’s relative, then rounding it up, wouldn’t that mean he also counted as their relative?!!

Mm, if there was a chance, they definitely had to properly get acquainted with such a peerless relative……….

………….

Holy crap?!

Why did that voice appear again?

Who? Who the hell is talking?!

Tang Hao’s face was full of shock and uncertainty. He looked left and right, but he just could not see anyone open their mouth. That voice seemed to have suddenly appeared in his mind, incredibly mysterious.

What made him find it even more inconceivable was……..

The other party actually said his master had cultivated an evil art and suffered qi deviation, and that he would die at his master’s hands???

Dad Tang and Mom Tang would also have their relationship break down because of this? And choose to divorce in the future?

Nonsense!!!!!

Utterly Ridiculous!!!!!

Master was righteous, always punishing evil and helping the weak, treating Tang Hao like a real son. How could he ever touch evil arts, let alone harm Tang Hao?!

And his parents had supported each other for decades, lovingly raising seven children. How could their bond possibly break and end in divorce???

Impossible, absolutely impossible!!!!

I have a 95% certainty that everything that voice revealed is impossible to happen!!!!!

Just then, the familiar inner voice sounded again.

……………

[My Old Sixth cousin is really stupid. If he were even a little careful, he’d have noticed the clues.]

[For example, those senior brothers and sisters of his never appeared again after leaving with Jiang Yangping, yet he actually didn’t develop even the slightest suspicion?]

[The reason Jiang Yangping came to participate in the arena match this time was not truly to avenge his disciple.]

[The real reason is that all those disciples were already killed by him, and for a while, he couldn’t find more suitable martial artists.]

[And the official arena match happens to be one of the places where martial artists gather in the greatest numbers…….]

[In order to break through his cultivation bottleneck faster, Jiang Yangping chose to take a desperate risk, determined to go completely crazy before his lifespan ends.]

……………..

This voice? This way of addressing him?

Tang Hao, who realized it belatedly, suddenly looked at the beastly cousin in front of him. He suddenly realized………

Why he had always felt that mysterious voice sounded so familiar!

Because that voice was actually exactly the same as his beastly cousin’s?!!

But just now, he had been staring closely at the other party’s mouth, and his beastly cousin clearly had not opened his mouth to speak. Then where did this voice come from???

Wait… could it be—

Tang Hao’s eyes widened, and an unbelievable thought flashed through his mind. Could what he heard…. be his beastly cousin’s inner thoughts?!!

By some lucky accident, I awakened a superpower that lets me eavesdrop on other people’s inner thoughts!!!

Thinking up to this point, Tang Hao was wildly overjoyed in his heart.

He never expected………

Not only was he a martial arts prodigy rarely seen in a hundred years, he had also awakened a special ability that only existed in comics.

This was a pure protagonist script, heaven’s chosen one!!!!!

Sure enough, he, Tang Hao, was destined to rule the world, be invincible under the heavens, suppress all sides, create his own Old Sixth legend, and awe all ages for thousands upon thousands of years!!!!

At this moment, Tang Hao’s mouth crooked upward, revealing a toothy smile.

However, was this beastly cousin crazy? Or had he lost his mind?

(??へ??╬)He actually cursed me as stupid in his heart?

And even fabricated an imaginary story out of thin air about my senior brothers and sisters all dying tragically at Master’s hands?

Heh heh, truly……

Spouting bullshit!!!!

Outrageously absurd!!!!

Master said that the reason he took my senior brothers and sisters away was to teach them the “Core Cultivation Method.”

This was the sect’s supreme secret art, a secret not passed down to outsiders. They had to remain in closed-door cultivation until they achieved success in learning it before he would allow my senior brothers and sisters to emerge again.

And Tang Hao had only just recently entered the threshold of internal force. Right now, he did not yet have the qualifications to learn the supreme martial art. When the day came that he achieved minor success in internal force, Master would naturally take him to reunite with his senior brothers and sisters at their closed-door cultivation place……….

As for Senior Brother Fang Mo!

He had been ruined by the Han family’s despicable methods until his family was destroyed. He entered Master’s sect and painstakingly cultivated, hoping that one day he could personally slaughter his enemies’ entire family.

Who would have thought…….

He died before accomplishing his mission.

The Han family had actually made preparations long ago. They took the chance to lay an inescapable net, and even found an expert to ambush Senior Brother Fang Mo.

In the end, Senior Brother died with hatred, unable to rest in peace.

After Master found out about this, he flew into a rage, filled with grief and indignation, swearing that he would avenge Senior Brother Fang Mo!!!

How could such a good master, who loved his disciples like his own sons, possibly have selfish motives?!

He came here today not for fame or profit, but only for that trace of justice in his heart!!!!!

Tang Hao firmly believed this point, and thoroughly decided that his beastly cousin’s inner thoughts could not be trusted.

The only thing that surprised him was………

How did his beastly cousin know so much…. about certain things related to him and his honored master?

Some private matters were impossible for anyone other than people inside the sect to know???

While Tang Hao was frowning in deep thought!

The Tang family members present were also thoughtful. Judging from some of Old Sixth’s reactions just now, they concluded that Tang Hao could also eavesdrop on Lin Xuan’s inner thoughts, and was a chosen one just like them.

Sure enough, smoke was rising from the Tang family’s ancestral graves. They were the one and only chosen family in this world………..

On the other side.

Lin Xuan’s attention was finally attracted by Huo Qichen, who was staring straight at him from not far away.

Ah…. this?!

I remember that in the original plot, this domineering CEO did not show any signs of “atavism,” right?

When he saw Huo Qichen paralyzed in a wheelchair, with his mouth crooked and face slanted, Lin Xuan was both shocked and somewhat gloating.

During this period, he had occasionally heard some rumors saying that Huo Qichen’s genes had atavized, and that he had developed “Hawking Syndrome”.

In the future, he might very likely become a cripple who could not take care of himself at all.

Originally, Lin Xuan thought the rumors were exaggerated. He didn’t expect the situation to be even “worse” than he imagined.

……………

[Brother-in-law mentioned before that he gave the domineering CEO a tiny little punishment.]

[I always thought that at most, he had sealed the acupoints around Huo Qichen’s waist, causing his lower body to be paralyzed and making him unable to leave a wheelchair for life.]

[But looking at it now, Brother-in-law was far more ruthless than I imagined…….]

[However, I estimate that it’s also possible that the Huo family really does have a hereditary disease in their genes. It’s just that the probability of it acting up is extremely low, so it doesn’t affect the continuation of the entire family much.]

[As for why this unlucky bastard Huo Qichen showed signs of “atavism”………]

[Most likely, under the stimulation of Brother-in-law’s acupuncture technique, some unexpected chain reaction occurred inside his body, directly causing the hereditary disease to flare up!]
