Chapter 25: A Fight to Bite Gold, Who cares about the Law of the Imperial Court
"So, Uncle Cheng wants my heavenly peach tree?”
Gao Xuan approached Cheng Yaojin and said in a flattering manner.
"That's right! Don't worry, nephew. After I take your tree, no one will dare to cause trouble in Spirit Peak Temple in the future.”
Cheng Yaojin said confidently.
"The Immortality Peach Tree is a high saint tree. How can you tarnish it like this? Asking for a beating!"
Gao Xuan's expression suddenly changed. He cursed angrily, jumped up, and took a peach branch from the peach tree. He whipped it hard at Cheng Yaojin.
Cheng Yaojin saw Gao Xuan's actions and his eyes almost became the size of meatballs.
Cheng Yaojin had always been arrogant in Chang 'an. No one had ever dared to provoke him. Even Li Shiming had to give him some face when he saw him. Now, he was beaten by a young Taoist priest.
Cheng Yaojin's face suddenly showed anger, and he was ready to subdue Gao Xuan.
"You little Daoist, when grandfather was killing enemies on the battlefield, you were probably still rolling around in your mother's stomach. Now, you actually dare to hit me.”
Although Cheng Yaojin's body was bloated, he was agile. He suddenly jumped up and was ready to subdue Gao Xuan.
However, Gao Xuan's entire body was bursting with power. Just the move of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms alone was enough to knock Cheng Yaojin down.
"Who cares about the laws of the court or the generals of the country?”
After Gao Xuan knocked Cheng Yaojin down with a palm strike, he picked up Cheng Yaojin and swung the branch of the heavenly peach tree at him.
Cheng Yaojin's face was as red as a pig's liver. He thought that he could subdue Gao Xuan with a light move, but he never expected that he was not Gao Xuan's match at all.
Now that he had been subdued by this little Daoist priest and slapped to the ground, he looked as miserable as he could be. He was simply unbearable to enter.
He was even beaten up by this little Taoist priest with the peach branch. Cheng Yaojin even had the heart to die.
It was the most lively time in the Taoist temple. Those who came to offer incense and pray were all people from Chang 'an, so they naturally knew the usually energetic State Duke Cheng.
"Is that Duke Lu?"
"Yeah, why was he pressed to the ground by the Taoist priest and beaten with branches?”
"Heh, isn't this Dao Chief too bold? He actually dares to treat State Duke Lu like this.”
"Isn't that so? If State Duke Lu gets angry, he can really smash this Spirit Peak Temple.”
The visitors started to discuss, looking like they were waiting for a good show.
Cheng Chuliang also widened his eyes. He knew that his father was not as skilled as Gao Xuan, but he did not expect Gao Xuan to dare to teach his father a lesson.
"Brat, hurry up and save your father. It hurts so much.”
Cheng Yaojin shouted loudly, wanting Cheng Chuliang to save him.
"Sigh! Taoist priest, please let my father go. My father is the Duke.”
Cheng Chuliang quickly went forward and persuaded Gao Xuan.
"I'm fighting the Duke."
Gao Xuan said as he lectured Cheng Yaojin.
"Won't you beat this little Taoist priest to the ground?”
Cheng Yaojin saw that Cheng Chuliang was actually standing at the side and persuading him, and he couldn't help but be furious.
Cheng Chuliang hesitated and didn't dare to go forward. He knew Gao Xuan's skills. With his mediocre skills, he was no match for Gao Xuan.
Gao Xuan only stopped what he was doing after whipping Cheng Yaojin a hundred times with the peach branch.
"Seeing that you are the Duke, I will only teach you a hundred times. Otherwise, I will definitely throw you out.”
Gao Xuan said bluntly.
After saying that, he threw the branch away.
Cheng Yaojin wailed as he lay on the ground, unable to stand up.
"Kid, I'm not done with you. Even if I don't rely on my status as the Duke, I'll still teach you a lesson. How dare you treat your grandfather like this?：”
Cheng Yaojin's anger could not be appeased. He lay on the ground and cursed angrily.
"Father, stop talking. Taoist priest, I want a peach of immortality from you."
Cheng Chuliang saw that his father was injured to such a miserable state, and his heart couldn't help but ache. He quickly said to Gao Xuan.
He knew that Cheng Yaojin's injuries would heal immediately with just one immortal peach.
Seeing Cheng Chuliang put a peach into the Merit Box, Gao Xuan reached out and picked one and handed it to Cheng Chuliang.
Cheng Chuliang took the immortal peach excitedly and handed it to Cheng Yaojin.
"Father, quickly eat it. It'll be fine after you eat it.”
Cheng Chuliang said happily.
"Humph! It's just a lousy Saturn Peach. I don't care about it at all.”
Although he said that, Cheng Yaojin still took the peach and bit down on it.
As for why he didn't get up to eat, Gao Xuan had really hurt him. It was as if he was crippled and couldn't muster any strength at all.
When the peach entered his mouth, a sweet taste immediately surged into Cheng Yaojin's taste buds, causing the fat old man to howl in comfort.
"Delicious!"
State Duke Lu's words were even more useful than Gao Xuan's peddling. Hearing Cheng Yaojin say that it was delicious, those who were originally doubtful about whether they should buy the immortal peaches quickly took out incense money.
After eating a peach, Cheng Yaojin actually got up.
His movements were extremely smooth, and there was no sign of him howling from being severely injured.
"Hey! This Saturn Peach is really divine!"
Cheng Yaojin roared and glanced at the peach core in his palm, causing the surrounding devotees to scream.
