Wang Sheng looked red-eyed as his two sons were both subdued by the opponent with a single move, "I’ll butcher you..." Suddenly, he pulled out a pig-slaughtering knife from his bosom.
Everyone drew a sharp breath.
But Gu Yao casually pulled Wang Wen to the side with a slight turn, easily dodging the knife, then raised his hand and smacked down on the assailant’s wrist.
Wang Sheng immediately felt his entire arm go numb, and the pig-slaughtering knife dropped to the ground.
Before the knife even hit the ground, Gu Yao lifted his foot and kicked the knife into the air, then spun around and kicked it out, sending it whistling through the air. With a thud, the knife embedded itself in the trunk of a large tree nearby, leaving only a small section of the handle sticking out.
Wang Wen seemed to be in even more pain, but was so frightened that he dared not make a sound, afraid that any dissatisfaction might get him smacked into the tree as well.
"Brilliant!" Yang Xiaoliu couldn’t hold back and began clapping loudly.
Liang Tie followed suit, and then many others joined in with the applause.
Wang Sheng’s face turned ashen. He had not expected this outsider to be so formidable. A wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him, so he hesitated and didn’t dare to advance, but his eldest son was still in the opponent’s hands, so he couldn’t leave either.
With a cold snort, Gu Yao flung Wang Wen toward Wang Sheng, "This is just a minor lesson. If it happens again, be prepared to spend the rest of your life lying on a kang."
Wang Sheng hurried over to support his son. Although he didn’t say anything further and didn’t approach them again, his eyes brimmed with venom, harboring deep hate for the Gu Family and the Yang Family’s main branch.
Yang Ruxin didn’t bother with the Wang father and son at all. If they wanted revenge, let them come; she wasn’t afraid at all. Instead, she walked up to Yang Anshi, "Grandma, about this accusation you’ve pinned on me, should I just accept it then?"
Yang Anshi suddenly fell silent, looking at Yang Ruxin with a hint of fear.
"This spatula should be sharp enough to cut through a throat, right?" Yang Ruxin lifted up the spatula and gave it a shake.
"You..." Yang Anshi took a few steps back, "I am your grandmother, you..." In the past, she had been overbearing because she had been indulged. Yang Laotou had pampered her, her children feared her, so she thought she was invincible. But at that moment, she realized how powerless she felt against a truly tough Yang Dani and someone as formidable as Gu Yao.
"You’re all bad people." Sini suddenly burst into tears and started yelling at Yang Anshi and the others, "You only know how to bully us. Before the family was divided, we did all the work. Grandma would whip us with a rattan cane whenever she was displeased." She pulled up her sleeve, and scars appeared on her arm, "This is where Yang Ruohuai bit me... and at the time, you even said it was well done..."
The onlookers couldn’t help but sigh.
"You tarnish our reputation, you are the bad people, you’re all bad people... You’re not my grandmother, you’re not my second aunt, you’re not my young aunt, you’re all bad people, you only know how to bully us, to torment us..."
The little girl’s voice was clear and her gaze was pure. Her accusations struck a chord with the onlookers, causing them to feel pity, at least those with a conscience. As for Yang Anshi and the others, they only saw Sini as a nonsensical, worthless girl.
"Don’t cry." Wang Hehua, who was closest, scooped up the little girl in her arms, "Big sister will punish the bad
