Chapter 1014: Killing With Words
Translator: Lordbluefire
“It’s here, it’s here! Teacher is going to unleash his divine might.”
The papaya girl was very agitated. She took out an image-recording stone and was preparing to record a few scenes to keep as a memento so she could properly appreciate the graceful bearing when her teacher crushed all his enemies.
“Your sickness is very serious. If you don’t pay attention to it now, you will surely be in dire straits in the future.”
Sun Mo surveyed Zhou Xingtong and was unable to restrain a smile. “The crucial point is that if your sickness erupts, the reputation of your Zhou Clan will be ruined.”
“Sun Mo, you still dare to curse at our Zhou Clan? From now onward, our Zhou Clan will be at irreconcilable odds with you.”
The old butler roared.
But just when his voice faded away, Sun Mo slammed a forceful slap on his face.
Pak!
The butler spun an entire round and directly fell into a daze.
Pu! Pu!
Two teeth fell out.
“When I’m speaking with your master, when has it ever been the turn of a slave to interrupt?” Sun Mo berated.
“You…”
The old butler roared in rage.
This time around, there was no need to wait for Sun Mo’s instructions. His students who were eager to show concern for their teacher had already charged over. However, Helian Beifang’s movements were the fastest; his actions were also the most ruthless.
Pak! Pak! Pak!
The barbarian youth stretched his hand out and directly slapped the butler ferociously.
“Sun Mo!”
Zhou Xingtong’s chest heaved up and down, resembling a bellow.
“Zhou Xingtong, does your crotch area itch occasionally and there would be a feeling of piercing pain?”
A single sentence from Sun Mo caused Zhou Xingtong’s expression to drastically change because Sun Mo was right.
Recently, he had indeed been feeling unwell. But because he was too busy with his work, he still didn’t have the inclination to check it out.
“For the sake of Secondary Saint Zhou, I will give you a word of reminder. Your sickness is the same as this old dog from your clan.”
Sun Mo chortled.
“What does he mean?”
“I don’t understand?”
“Why make things so mysterious? Can’t he just say it directly?”
The surrounding people discussed. But there was a guy from a rich clan who frequented brothels who suddenly showed an enlightened expression.
“Could it be syp…ah…”
As the young guy mumbled this, he hurriedly shut his mouth. This was a venereal disease. If a great teacher was infected by it, their reputation would surely suffer.
But there were only a few diseases starting with the alphabet ‘syp’, hence, everyone immediately understood. They then recalled Sun Mo saying that the old butler and Zhou Xingtong had the same sickness…
This was thought-provoking then.
They had to contemplate things properly.
(So, you guys are people on the same path (gay)?!)
“Sun Mo, don’t speak nonsense!”
Zhou Xingtong raged, “Do you really think that this old man wouldn’t dare to kill?”
“I think you better be honest and live a clean life. Might I be so bold as to ask if you have recently taken in a woman?”
Sun Mo asked with a smile.
This time around, Divine Sight didn’t cause him to be disappointed. Sun Mo had seen all the information about Zhou Xingtong clearly.
Those servants standing behind Zhou Xingtong revealed surprise and shock on their faces. This was because their Little Master had recently wedded a new concubine.
“Why don’t you return and check the relationship of that concubine of yours with this old dog?”
Sun Mo was also someone with status. He couldn’t state things like that too clearly.
“What does our teacher mean?”
The papaya girl completely didn’t understand.
“I have no idea!”
Xianyu Wei didn’t know either.
“Kids shouldn’t be so nosy.”
Jiang Leng berated.
“What’s there to be shy about? Isn’t it simply a case of the butler drinking the soup meant for Great Teacher Zhou? In the end, because his lifestyle was filthy and chaotic, he passed his venereal disease to that little concubine and in the end, that little concubine infected Great Teacher Zhou.”
Tantai Yutang’s personality was a prankful one. His voice wasn’t that loud, but it was loud enough to cause those near him to be able to hear it.
“Shut up!”
Zhou Xingtong roared in rage. After that, he glared at the old butler. The recent concubine he accepted was indeed someone sent to him by the old butler.
But things like this were too commonly seen in rich clans.
Firstly, it was to ingratiate themselves with the master. Secondly, it was to solidify their position.
Usually speaking, these types of concubines would have a close relationship with the recommender.
For example, this time around, this concubine was said to be a niece of the butler from faraway. She was the type of girl who was pure and innocent. If not, even if she was beautiful, Zhou Xingtong wouldn’t have accepted her.
“Master, this old slave is being maligned!”
At this moment, the old butler was already sweating profusely. He could no longer act pitiful with his swollen lips and hurriedly explained.
“For something like this, it isn’t hard to inspect, right? Just casually find a doctor out there!”
Sun Mo shrugged.
“Why is there still a need for a body inspection? Look at the expression of this fellow. He is so frightened that he turned pale. He must have eaten the concubine before passing her to his master.”
Tantai Yutang added another stab.
“Master, I’ve followed you for several decades. Could it be that you still don’t know my loyalty?”
The old butler kowtowed. “You must not do what your enemies want you to do!”
“Shut up.”
Zhou Xingtong berated. After that, he turned and left.
The servants and slaves also carried the gifts they brought and quickly followed after him.
“Sun Mo, if I don’t die, you will die.”
The old butler’s hatred for Sun Mo had risen to the max. Before he left, he didn’t forget to leave a ruthless sentence behind.
Sun Mo smiled. “I won’t be calculative against someone who is about to die.”
As Zhou Xingtong’s group left, the sound of discussion at the top level grew louder.
The people here had truly seen a good show today.
Sun Mo actually dared to scold a secondary saint. However, this matter evidently wasn’t as explosive as Zhou Xingtong being made a cuckoo by his own butler.
“Teacher Sun, how did you know?”
Tong Xugao was curious.
“From the color of their faces. The two of them are clearly in abnormal states!”
Sun Mo casually brushed the question aside.
“Is it?”
Tong Xucao tried to recall, but he didn’t discover anything different. However, he didn’t doubt Sun Mo’s words either. Rather, he treated this as normal due to Sun Mo’s experience.
After all, Sun Mo was known as the God Hands. He should be an expert in the diagnosis method of ‘look, smell, hear, touch’.
“Is that true?”
The manager of the inn was curious.
“The possibility is about 80 to 90% true.”
Boss Li was very shrewd and he had long since seen through the answer.
To a man, how great was the humiliation when one pointed at you and said that you were being made a cuckoo? In that case, why didn’t Zhou Xingtong dare to retaliate?
Because he was afraid that if Sun Mo continued talking, once it was verified, his entire life would be tainted. After all, God Hands wasn’t a joke. Hence, he could only endure it first.
“Let’s go and watch a good show!”
Sun Mo walked to the other side of the inn and opened a window to look out at the street.
The others quickly followed.
Zhou Xingtong had exited the Swallow Phoenix Inn. As he was walking toward his carriage, he also gave some instructions.
“You are an old servant that has followed me for several decades. I won’t doubt you just because of a few sentences from Black Doggy Sun. But for the matter of inviting him this time around, you have really failed.
“Next, I want you to do something to make up for your mistakes. Find someone to pay attention to Sun Mo and collect all the unsavory data about him. I want to make sure his reputation is forever tainted. Don’t screw this up.”
“This old slave understands!”
The old butler hurriedly nodded and he involuntarily heaved a sigh of relief. (Sun Mo, did you think you could kill me with just a few sentences of slander? What a foolish fantasy! How can the decades of friendship between us master and servant be something so easily disrupted by you?)
“Arrange for someone to ride a fast mount and invite all the doctors over. However, we also have to make plans for the worst circumstances. Wenbin might be finished, but we have to retain his seed as we cannot allow his talent to be lost. However, don’t look for a woman like Hong Ying who has a birthmark.”
Zhou Xingtong rapidly gave a series of orders.
The old butler nodded and agreed. But when he heard the last sentence, he instinctively started in astonishment. “She has a birthmark?”
Swish~
Zhou Xingtong turned around, his gaze as cold as the edge of a knife. He was staring straight at the old butler.
Rustle!
The old butler immediately perspired a bucket load of sweat and his clothes were all drenched.
He knew he was exposed by his master.
So, his master still believed Sun Mo’s words.
“How do you know that Hong Ying’s body has no birthmark?”
Zhou Xingtong forcefully asked.
Hong Ying was his new concubine.
“I…I have no idea. I was just casually asking!” the butler explained.
“Do you think I’m a fool?”
Zhou Xingtong was enraged and he kicked the butler’s crotch.
Bang!
His testicles were crushed!
The old butler screamed in agony and rolled on the floor, slamming into the carriage.
“Beat this old fellow to death for me!”
Zhou Xingtong roared.
In normal circumstances, if he asked such a question, the old butler shouldn’t have shown any expression of astonishment or contemplation. This meant that the old butler had definitely seen Hong Ying’s naked body before, hence, he was trying to recall things.
“Master, I didn’t, I really didn’t!”
Upon seeing this, the butler explained loudly.
Zhou Xingtong naturally didn’t believe him. Actually, he had had some suspicions in the past. But because his relationship with the old butler was too close, he didn’t think too much about it. However, now that Sun Mo had mentioned it, all the moments of awkwardness between the butler and his concubine previously could now be explained.
Why didn’t he verify his suspicions in the past?
He didn’t dare to do so. If it wasn’t verified and had no result, he could still lie to himself. After all, the vast majority of men had no way to accept this fact.
It was too embarrassing.
Zhou Xingtong actually wanted to ask the old butler after they returned to the mansion, but he truly couldn’t endure it. To all men, this matter was like a thorn in their hearts. Hence, he wanted to make things clear immediately.
“Master, spare me, please spare me!”
When the old butler saw Zhou Xingtong getting into the carriage, he grew anxious. If the master left now, he would definitely die here. Hence, he explained himself, “It’s Hong Ying who took the initiative to seduce me because she wanted to join the Zhou Clan. I’m innocent!”
What niece from afar?
That was just a false identity.
The customers at the top level were all watching a good show. When they heard this, an uproar was instantly created.
So, Sun Mo was correct.
Pu!
Zhou Xingtong directly coughed up a mouthful of blood and felt that his life had dimmed.
(I’m the son of a secondary saint, yet my reputation is now dragged into the mud because of a lowly scum like you?)
“Tear his mouth apart!”
Zhou Xingtong roared. After that, he even jumped down directly and stomped the old butler several times to vent his anger.
Kacha!
An arm was broken.
Kacha!
A hip bone was broken.
Kacha!
Even his spine was broken.
The miserable screams of the old butler drifted loudly through the street.
After Zhou Xingtong’s anger was sated, he sat in his carriage and left.
“S…save me!”
The old butler, who had only a breath of life left, was begging miserably.
Zhou Xingtong didn’t kill him directly because he wanted the butler to suffer pain and agony before death.
It was legal for a master to kill a slave in the Nine Provinces. Moreover, this slave seemed to be a bad person. Hence, the surrounding spectators didn’t go near to interfere.
Just when the old butler was in despair, he saw a pair of boots appearing before him. He subconsciously moved his hands over, wanting to grab them.
However, a thudding sound rang out as his wrists got trampled.
“Eh? You are going to die like this? Are you not going to teach me a lesson?”
Sun Mo ridiculed.
“Oh right, for a great butler like you, you should have sons living in the Zhou Clan, right? Tell me, do you think Zhou Xingtong will massacre your family because of this incident?”
In the Nine Provinces, if slaves who were bound by contract had kids, the kids were considered the property of their master too. The kids could be used for any purpose.
“It’s really a little pitiful now that I think about it! But I like it!”
Sun Mo was merely saying this for the sake of angering this butler. He wasn’t that ruthless.
“It would still be okay if they were beaten to death. I’m afraid the male kids would be sold to miners, while the female kids would be sold to brothels and live a life worse than death.”
Tantai Yutang sneered.
“Teacher Sun, can your God Hands cure this type of heavy injury?”
Tong Xugao was curious.
“If he received my teacher’s treatment, his injuries would be gone completely half an hour later. He would even be able to run around.”
Lu Zhiruo bragged.
“S…save me…”
The old butler stared at Sun Mo and pleaded in a weak voice. “I…this old dog is wrong.. You are a magnanimous lord, please forgive me.”
