Zhao Yun’s peripheral vision caught Zhao An walking out with a broom.
His hairs instantly stood on end.
A bone-chilling cold instantly rose from his soles to the top of his head.
“Father, what are you doing? The Divine Being is still here, aren’t you making a fool of yourself?”
Although his words were full of confidence, his body was honestly taking steps back.
Zhao An chuckled and without a word, he walked forward and swung the broom twice.
“Ouch!” “Hiss!”
Zhao Yun immediately acted as if he had been hit hard.
Of course, this was all an act.
After all, he had practiced martial arts since he was young, and his ability to withstand blows was top-notch.
Two swipes of the broom wouldn't hurt that much.
Besides, if he really resisted.
With his martial arts skills, ten Zhao An's tied together would only be knocked down in a matter of minutes.
Yun Yi smirked and silently watched the show from the sidelines.
A father disciplining his son was a family matter.
Besides, it was just a symbolic few hits.
He wasn’t going to interfere.
It’s a pity there were no cameras.
Otherwise, recording it would be amazing.
This was extremely rare, firsthand footage of the early undefeated general, Changshan Zhao Zilong, being beaten.
Zhao An panted, pursed his lips:
“Alright, stop pretending, I know how much force I used. You’re just making a show.”
Zhao Yun smiled and cautiously approached:
“Father, are you calm now?”
“Heh, isn't this all your fault? Do you know you’re wrong?” Zhao An put away the broom.
Zhao Yun quickly nodded:
“I know I’m wrong, I won’t act on my own anymore.”
“You, sending me back is a minor matter, but disrespecting the Divine Being is a major offense.”
Zhao An shook his head helplessly, then walked over to Yun Yi and said in a low voice, “Divine Being, I apologize for my son's actions. I will definitely educate Zhao Yun properly from now on, and he will never act on his own will again.”
Yun Yi smiled and waved his hand:
“It’s alright, I actually knew about this already.”
Zhao An breathed a sigh of relief.
Actually, he had been acting a little just now.
Not to vent his own anger.
But to protect Zhao Yun.
After all, the Divine Being had said they should wait a while, and he would come back later.
But then Zhao Yun took the liberty of sending him back to sleep.
Maybe it was out of concern for him not getting enough sleep.
But no matter the reason, it was against the Divine Being's wishes.
If the Divine Being was really displeased by this.
To the point of leaving Zhao Manor.
Then even if Zhao Yun was his own son, he would have to follow what the clan meeting said.
He would have to force himself to carry out the clan law.
To expel Zhao Yun from Zhao Manor.
Thankfully, from the looks of it, the Divine Being didn't seem to care.
Zhao An looked at Yun Yi with a flattering face and asked:
“Divine Being, is there anything you need me to do?”
Before Yun Yi could speak, Zhao Yun crowded in:
“Father, the Divine Being wants to go to that abandoned cellar warehouse, I remember the key is only with you?”
“The abandoned cellar warehouse?” Zhao An’s heart suddenly tightened.
Yun Yi asked, “What’s wrong? Can’t we go?”
Zhao An shook his head.
“We can go, it’s just that the cellar warehouse has some... not-so-good things in it.”
Not-so-good things?
Could it be...
Yun Yi's mind flashed with hundreds of ways to kill and hide bodies.
Zhao An took a deep breath and honestly said:
“It’s just some armor and weapons, but since the Divine Being wants to go, I’ll get the key now.”
Oh, so it’s not a murder scene.
Yun Yi felt a pang of disappointment.
Though he didn’t know why he felt disappointed.
But it’s true.
The end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
No cameras, and the court didn’t care.
If you killed someone, you could just find a secluded place, dig a hole, and bury them.
Why hide them in an abandoned warehouse?
Isn’t that just waiting for the body to rot and stink?
Zhao An went back to the guest room and retrieved a string of keys from a hidden compartment under the bed.
“Divine Being, please come with me.”
After saying this, he was about to lead Yun Yi and Zhao Yun out.
At this time, Zhao Lang suddenly asked:
“Father, can I go too? I want to see it too.”
Zhao An glanced at Zhao Feng and Zhao Yu.
“What about you two?”
Zhao Yu’s bright eyes lit up:
“Father, I want to go too.”
However, Zhao Feng opened his mouth, then shook his head:
“Father, I won’t go. I still need to help in the fields with the waterwheel. If we get the waterwheel up and running sooner, we can save more fields, and there will be a better harvest in autumn.”
Zhao An looked at Zhao Feng's expression.
He nodded in satisfaction.
He’s truly my eldest son, he has my mature and steady character.
“Alright, you two can come along then. But don’t speak, no matter what you see inside, you must keep it a secret when you come out.”
“If you can’t do that, then don’t go.”
Zhao Yu and Zhao Lang immediately assured him:
“Father, don’t worry, we promise to keep our mouths shut.”
Thus, led by Zhao An, the five of them walked towards the west.
Not long after.
The five arrived at the entrance of a slightly dilapidated courtyard on the westernmost edge of Zhao Manor.
However, compared to the dilapidation of the courtyard.
The lock on the gate was obviously quite new.
Zhao An took out the key, unlocked the gate, and explained:
“Although this place is abandoned, I come here to check every now and then to see if anyone has snuck in.”
Wow.
Are they really just armor and weapons?
Why is Zhao An so concerned about it?
The cobwebs and spiders are secondary now, he’s more curious about what’s actually inside the cellar warehouse.
