Bei Chudao was angry with his son, though he was also anxious and upset about his son's incompetence. He knew it was his own fault for spoiling him.
The Bei Chu family had too many geniuses; this spoiled son was a treasure, even the old man favored this good-for-nothing grandson.
Sometimes it's like this: large families, especially when they are the most powerful and outstanding in their region,
are most prone to producing spoiled brats. This is because they are products of large, prestigious families, a symbol of power and prestige.
The more spoiled, incompetent, and arrogant a member is, the more it reflects the family's power and status.
Bei Chudao was one of the most distinctive members of the Bei Chu family, and his father, Bei Chudao, was also a special figure.
Bei Chudao was initially the strongest contender for the position of family head, and many felt he was the most suitable.
However, fate intervened; Bei Chudao's father died unexpectedly, causing Bei Chudao to lose the competition for family head.
To put it simply, at this moment, he still needed his father's support, so Bei Chudao failed.
Failure was no big deal; Bei Chudao's status in the Bei Chu family was still quite high, but it was different from before.
If the family head caught him this time, he would have no chance to turn things around. Bei Chudao was still unwilling to give up on the position of family head.
"Father!" Bei Chu Shao said softly.
"Look what you've done!" Bei Chudao glared at him. Since things had already come to this, he didn't say anything more.
"Father, we must get rid of him as soon as possible. We can't let him live any longer," Bei Chu Shao said anxiously.
"Why?" Bei Chudao asked casually.
"They are very strong. They will definitely not forgive me for what I did, and they might even hold a grudge against Father and the family. That Qin Chuan is so young and already so powerful. If we don't kill him quickly, it's like releasing a tiger back into the mountains, with endless troubles."
"Hmm? You actually have some ideas after all. I thought you were a pig-brain," Bei Chudao said indifferently.
"What? I'm very smart..."
Bei Chudao looked at the sky speechlessly. "You think I don't want to kill him? It's difficult to kill him now. They can come out silently and go back silently. We can't stop them at all."
"Father, I have a plan," Bei Chushao said.
"Tell me about it," Bei Chudao said absentmindedly. He had little hope for this son. He originally planned to let him be a spoiled brat. He thought that in Chuzhou, he wouldn't encounter any trouble.
Unfortunately, this happened, and it could be a big deal or a small one.
"Zhang Ziye is one of my son's men. They used him as a scapegoat this time, so next time it will definitely be someone close to me. As long as we ambush them, I don't believe we can't catch him. If that doesn't work, we can set some traps and wait for him to walk into the net," Bei Chushao said seriously.
"Oh, that works." Bei Chudao's eyes lit up.
This method might not be particularly amazing, but it was different when it came from Bei Chushao.
This method was indeed effective—waiting for the rabbit to run into the tree stump. Although it was a bit clumsy, it really worked, and for the time being, it was the best method.
A hint of smugness and cruelty appeared on Bei Chu Shao's face. He was thinking about how to torture Qin Chuan and how to torture Palace Master Wu.
Bei Chu Shao thought of Zhao Han, the daughter of the Zhao family. Although the Zhao family was also a large family, one of the five great families, it was still far inferior to the Bei Chu family.
That Zhao Han was very beautiful, and apparently, she was Qin Chuan's girlfriend. Perfect! He would then thoroughly seduce Zhao Han in front of Qin Chuan…
Thinking of this, Bei Chu Shao's blood boiled with excitement, but suddenly he felt a chilling aura emanating from her.
He involuntarily shivered. He saw his father staring sharply at him, and lowered his head in fear.
He was still very afraid of Bei Chu Dao, a spoiled brat. But these past few days, he had realized the trouble he had caused was enormous and he had to deal with it quickly, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Get out. If there's a next time, I'll personally take your life," Bei Chu Dao's voice rang out.
Bei Chu Shao shuddered again, gave a hesitant reply, and retreated from the room with trembling legs.
He knew his father was a man of his word; even though he was his son, if he said something, he would definitely do it.
Bei Chu Dao had arranged for men to ambush those people, and not only that, he had also placed something special there.
Poison!
Deadly poison!
This was a trap set up by Bei Chu Dao; this poison was extremely potent, and once contaminated, even a god couldn't save you. This time, he had gone to great lengths to protect his father.
Unaware of all this, Qin Chuan and Palace Master Wu, after their operation, planned to rest for a few days. After all, they weren't stupid; they knew they would definitely make another move, so they wanted to wait until the enemy lowered their guard before striking.
Qin Chuan had considered that the enemy might use this as a pretext, laying a trap to lure him in.
However, Qin Chuan was confident and not afraid of any traps or methods. He could easily survive and escape unscathed.
The Guan family!
Guan Peng!
The Guan family, though not as powerful as the Zhang family, was still a top family in Chuzhou, and Guan Peng was one of Bei Chu Shao's lackeys.
However, unlike other lackeys, Guan Peng possessed considerable strength, being the most powerful martial artist under Bei Chu Shao.
Guan Peng was also a young prodigy, daring and willing to fight, and Bei Chu Shao trusted him greatly, often having him handle many tasks.
This time, Qin Chuan and his group were going to kill Guan Peng.
Guan Peng's misdeeds were no less than Zhang Ziye's, and arguably even greater, as he was the executor.
Bei Chu Shao had committed many crimes, and Guan Peng had cleaned up the messes, such as murders to silence witnesses, regardless of age or possession of information. He needed a powerful and trustworthy person to carry out any wrongdoing. Zhang
Ziye's incident made Guan Peng uneasy, but fortunately, the Bei Chu family had intervened, and he had powerful martial artists protecting him, along with a poison array, so he wasn't too worried, and even looked forward to Qin Chuan's arrival.
He couldn't find peace until he eliminated Qin Chuan. Night fell, and he felt a growing unease.
Perhaps it was the terror of the darkness, an instinct.
A day passed, nothing happened.
Two days passed, nothing happened.
Three days passed.
A week passed…
This immediately unsettled Bei Chudao. After all, the Bei Chu family was still pressuring him and had issued an ultimatum: if things didn't go well within three days, he would be punished according to family rules.
The Bei Chu family's rules were very strict; if they were to punish him, Bei Chu Shao would undoubtedly die
