Chapter 425: Chapter 424 Playing with Him

Family Head Luo arrived at the Forbidden Land, only to see his son lazily leaning on the sofa, drinking and singing a little tune.

He frowned, "Where did you get this alcohol?"

His original intent was to have his son reflect on his actions in the Forbidden Land and agree to that matter from before, not to let this rebellious son enjoy himself.

Each time he visited, he discovered that the Forbidden Land had been equipped with even more items; sofas, tablets, gourmet foods, and now even alcohol.

Luo Yicheng lazily said, "Just having a little drink, you don’t need to worry about it, Dad."

"It’s rare for you to come here for no reason. Just speak your mind."

Family Head Luo narrowed his eyes, "I see you’re in a good mood?"

The last few times he visited, his son’s irritable and unhappy demeanor was obvious, but today, drinking and singing, his mood had clearly reversed.

A brilliant smile appeared on Luo Yicheng’s face, "My precious daughter is so capable, of course, I’m in a good mood."

He then indifferently said, "I must also thank you, Dad, for even being willing to give away the family’s treasured Yanyue Blade to my Ningning. You are truly generous."

Family Head Luo’s expression darkened instantly, "You really know everything."

He didn’t know which troublemaker had not only supplied this rebellious son with all sorts of food and drink but had also conveyed outside news to him.

He’d deal severely with them if he found out who it was.

"Of course, I know. What’s so strange about that?"

Luo Yicheng laughed indifferently, "Also, you don’t need to look into who’s been passing me the news, I’ll just tell you now."

"My sister has been visiting me these past few days, she’s the one who told me."

"If you’re not afraid of the Luo Family saying you fail in teaching your children, go ahead and punish my sister."

As Lei Lifei had let the younger sister pass messages, their father would have found out anyway if he seriously investigated; there was no point in hiding it.

Family Head Luo’s expression turned even more unsightly, "You!"

He could clearly see his son was doing this on purpose, to force him not to pursue his daughter.

"You really think you’ve grown wings, that I wouldn’t dare punish your sister?"

He snorted coldly, "If I deal with Luo Yihan, the people in the family will only say that I’m being fair."

Luo Yicheng raised an eyebrow, "You are indeed fair, forcing your daughter to leave her lover and marry into the Lei Family, only to end up losing her love, her marriage discordant, and then returning to her parental home alone in misery."

"Or forcing your son to abandon his wife, insisting on him entering into an incestuous relationship, which turned out to be a huge joke."

He curled his lips and continued, "Dad, you and mom really are awesome, parents like you are probably one of a kind in this world, well done!"

Family Head Luo, stung by these sarcastic remarks, his chest heaving with anger, pointed at Luo Yicheng with a furious face, "You, you rebellious child, you will be the death of me."

Luo Yicheng rolled his eyes, "So, we can’t even speak the truth now."

"They say the good die young, and the pests live for thousands of years; you and mom will definitely live a thousand years, no need to worry about dying from getting angry."

"Just like how mom often faints from anger, and when you take her to the hospital for a check-up, they guarantee she’s healthier than a young person."

Although Family Head Luo knew even before coming that his son wouldn’t say anything pleasant, he was still infuriated.

What son would say his parents are scourges? What bad karma had he accumulated to raise such a creature?

For a moment, he was at a loss for how to retort since what Luo Yicheng had said was all true.

Years ago, his daughter had fallen in love with an outsider, and he and his wife forcibly brought her back and, according to the original plan, married her into the Lei Family.

Eventually, the man his daughter loved died, and she fell out with Lei Lifei, then was taken back to her parental home by her son.

From the time his daughter returned to the Luo Family till now, over the years, whenever she saw him and his wife, she wouldn’t even utter a word, let alone call them mom and dad.

Regarding his daughter, he did indeed feel some guilt.

As for his son, after the fiasco at the exchange meeting, inheriting two branches had become a joke, and he felt somewhat guilty for almost causing his son to wear a green hat.

Therefore, he tolerated the sarcasm from his rebellious son just now.

He took a deep breath and said unusually gently, "I didn’t come here to argue with you today."

He only had this one son, and he didn’t want to drive him away anymore.

Knowing that his son responded better to soft approaches than tough ones, he decided to change his tactics.

Luo Yicheng looked at Family Head Luo suspiciously, then rubbed his arms. "Old man, don’t speak so gently; it gives me the creeps, it’s scary."

Family Head Luo: "..." Suddenly wanted to strangle this rebellious son.

He yelled furiously, "Shut up!"

Luo Yicheng put his hands down. "That’s more like it. I thought you were possessed just now; you scared me to death."

Family Head Luo: "..." He felt that someday he would indeed be killed by stress from this rebellious son.

He no longer wanted to beat around the bush and deal with his son’s needling.

He said sternly, "Pack your things and come with me."

Luo Yicheng raised his eyebrows. "You’re not grounding me anymore?"

Family Head Luo nodded, "Not anymore, I’m letting you out today."

Since there was no longer a need to coerce his son into agreeing with inheriting two branches, there was naturally no need to keep him confined.

Luo Yicheng, with his legs crossed, said, "You say ’lock up’ and it’s lock up, you say ’release’ and it’s release. Don’t I have any dignity?"

Family Head Luo: "..."

He suddenly remembered everything that had passed between the Luo family and Luo Ning, including similar words she had said.

Truly like father, like daughter—their biting tongues and actions were so alike.

It was only unfortunate that, on him, it was less than pleasant.

Family Head Luo emanated a cold aura. "Are you coming or not?"

Luo Yicheng shook his head. "This Forbidden Land has food and drink; it is comfortable to live in. I honestly don’t want to leave."

He had heard from Lei Lifei that his dear Ningning had been bullied, and he was furious that his father had even laid hands on his beloved daughter.

This had caused him to break through his bottleneck and fully touch the Heavenly Human Unity Realm.

These last few days, he had been storing energy, purely to strive for the Heavenly Human Unity Realm.

The suppression and environment of this Forbidden Land greatly aided him in reaching his goal.

Though he missed his wife and children terribly, he still suppressed his longing, planning to ascend to the Heavenly Human Unity Realm before leaving. After all, there was no rush.

Since being confined to the Forbidden Land, he realized that in the face of absolute power, everything else was false.

He was forced to separate from his wife and children because he couldn’t beat the combined force of the clan elders, and couldn’t escape parental pressures, confining him here without the ability to leave.

So he needed strength.

Once he reached the Heavenly Human Unity Realm, no one in the Luo family would be able to stop him.

It wouldn’t be his father’s conscience that would let him go, but he could leave whenever he wanted.

No, it wasn’t even his father’s conscience kicking in; it was because he had been humiliated and was now trying to make amends.

Family Head Luo looked at his son with cold eyes. "Are you sure you won’t leave?"

He suddenly couldn’t understand what this rebellious son was thinking; hadn’t he wanted to go out every single day before?

Why was it that now when he could leave, he refused?

He must be toying with him...
