Legendary Fighter
Chapters... 71: Regrets That Come Too Late
"You must not go too far, boy! how dare you not give face to the patriarch even after he has been humble before you." Zhou Kay shouted furiously, some elders and other members of the Zhou clan came to support Zhou Kay.
"Haha... Giving face?" Zhou Fan stared cynically at everyone who cornered him.
"It's not me who won't give face, from the beginning the Zhou Clan didn't think of me, why should I give face?! just so you know...,"
"If there is nothing holding me back, I will not be able to remain in a clan that treats its fellow men so inclined." Zhou Fan continued to bring out what had been a wedge in his heart all along.
Everyone did not dare to interrupt or mediate the internal matters of the Zhou Clan, even the other large clans were seen to be silent and watching the drama they found so interesting.
"That's my son's name.." Inner Zhou Hu, looking proud of his son, he didn't think his old son had become a dashing young man.
Unlike the fifth elder, everyone from the Zhou clan except Zhou Kay lowered their heads, Zhou Yin felt what everyone from the Zhou clan felt, however, his attitude towards the young man had exceeded the limit.
"If you want first place, please take it! It doesn't matter to me whether I get it or not." Zhou Fan said nonchalantly then left the arena of the match, he already did not care about the tournament.
A bounty? He really does not need it, in the ring of the teacher has a lot of valuable items that he can wear as much.
His goal was to follow a tournament of only one, throw trash mentions on him and see the regretful face of the Zhou clan.
Seeing the regretful faces of everyone who had looked down on him made the young man so satisfied.
Zhou Fan was not a person who did not know the return of favor. Even though his clan had looked down on him all this time, Zhou Fan still felt that this clan had become a place to shelter himself and his family, there was no way he would just leave it alone.
Silence, that was what could be seen from that place after Zhou Fan's departure. Especially everyone from the Zhou clan, they only realized they had wasted the gems before them.
They had thought that a stone around them was worthless, but after the stone was polished and showed its true form, they were too late.
Just because the stone was different, made them all think the stone was worthless, the moment they realized it, they had wasted an opportunity that would not come a second time.
"Hng..." Zhou Hu snorted, then darted after his son.
Although Zhou Fei's strength rested on him, he was not afraid of confronting the patriarch.
Had they fought it was Zhou Hu who was the loser, but Zhou Fei would not have been much different from him.
"Klan Zhou was thick-faced, even proudly saying he was the victor. It was indeed the Zhou clan person who won, but he did not carry the name of his clan while fighting." Everyone started to whisper and denounce the Zhou clan.
Although it was very slow, Zhou Fei certainly heard it. He had been at the level of a 9-star grand master fighter, the higher his cultivation the higher the quality of his senses he possessed.
With a shy face restraining Zhou Fei out of the arena, he already had no face to remain standing there.
**
In an inn...
A handsome young man in blue sea clothes was sitting down and eating his food,
After the food in front of him was gone, the young man downed the wine already in his hands.
Zhou Fan left the youth tournament venue and returned to the inn.
"After this, where will I go? Many places I have never been, Black Stone City is the smallest city, I will not reach my limits by just staying here" Zhou Fan muttered.
"Mh... That I can think of later, which is for sure I will seek experience and continue to increase my strength." The young man strengthened his resolve.
Zhou Fan's goal was only one, wanting to protect the person he thought was precious.
"Fan'er!"
Zhou Fan who was pensive, was shocked when he felt his shoulders being patted.
Plaque...
Accidentally Zhou Fan slammed a proper punch into the face of the person who had patted him.The person staggered back in not expecting to get a shock.
Zhou Fan raised his head to see who the man beside him was, but the man held onto his face that was hit by Zhou Fan's punch, as if covering his face intentionally.
A moment of cold sweat seeped in between his clothes as the man beside him lowered his hands.
"A... Dad, why are you here? you surprised me." Zhou Fan stood up and faced his father, trying to declare himself innocent.
After successfully balancing his body, Zhou Hu stared intently at Zhou Fan. "You've got the courage now, even your own father you've dealt a blow."
Zhou Fan lowered his head in guilt, although he did not intentionally admit it.
"Haha... I don't think you're still the little boy you used to be..." The atmosphere that had been tense warmed up again. Zhou Fan looked clumsy, the young man only scratched his non-itchy head.
Zhou Hu grabbed Zhou Fan's head, then gently rubbed the top of his son's head. His mind was far blown away into the memories of his past with little Zhou fan.
When little Zhou Fan made a mistake, and the mistake was known to him or his wife, his son always stood up while bowing his head in a sign that he admitted his mistake.
"Dad why are you coming here? Is it over there?" Ask Zhou Fan.
"Of course not yet, I no longer have the taste to stay there."
"Ohh... " Zhou Fan nodded, and had no intention of asking more.
***
It's been a week since the tournament's final day. At the residence of the fifth elder, Zhou Fan was busy learning a new style from his emperor book.
Zhou Fan left the banyan village right after meeting his father at the inn, he passed his victory gift to the Zhou Clan. The matter of his clan being willing or not it would be left to his father.
In the end it was Zhou Hu who took it, in fact he was reluctant to take the gift, because his son had already handed it over to the Zhou Clan. Zhou Hu was forced to take it after no one was willing to take it from the Zhou Clan side, they claimed to have no face to accept the gift.
"Fan'er here! there's something you and I want to give you."
Hearing his father's voice that looked serious, Zhou fan was ready to go straight out of his room, and intended to go where his father was.
"What's the matter exactly? it's not usually that serious of a father." the young man muttered as he sped up his pace.
Zhou Fan reached the living room, and saw his father and mother sitting there.
"What's the matter, mom?" Zhou Fan asked as he looked at his parents in turn.
"Sit down first!" Pinta his mother without caring about Zhou Fan's question.
Zhou Fan could only follow what his mother told him to do, he sat right in front of his parents sitting side by side.
Zhou Hu sighed then looked at his wife, and got a nod in response.
"Maybe this is a good time to tell you..."
