Son, Put Your Father To The Test (FF)

"Is... is this even possible?"

After a long while, Qin Chuan finally accepted all the memories of this body, feeling both amused and exasperated.

He had transmigrated.

But something about this transmigration was... off.

Usually, people transmigrate and end up as good-for-nothings.

But he was different.

He seemed to have become... the father of a good-for-nothing?!

"Well, at least I'm still young and quite handsome."

Qin Chuan looked at himself in the full-length mirror in front of him. The man in the mirror appeared to be around twenty years old, with a tall and upright figure, a handsome face, and a faint aura of authority.

In fact, this body was over thirty years old, but due to cultivation, it had not aged visibly.

He still looked like a young man!

The original owner of this body was also named Qin Chuan, the head of the Qin family in Xunyang City, with cultivation at the peak of the Yuan Dan stage.

He also had a son named Qin Zi, who was once a genius but had recently fallen ill with a strange disease, causing his cultivation to regress and making him the subject of ridicule.

Despite this, the former Qin Chuan still deeply loved his son.

Two days ago, in fact, he had risked his life by venturing into a forbidden area to find medicine for his son, ultimately resulting in his Yuan Dan shattering and him barely escaping with his life.

After losing his cultivation, Qin Chuan was ousted from his position as head of the family during a clan meeting! The severe injury, coupled with the coldness of human nature, led to the former Qin Chuan's death in anger, and then... Qin Chuan transmigrated into his body...

"Sigh, Old Chuan, it seems our fates are somewhat similar."

Thinking of his own experiences on Earth, Qin Chuan sighed—a sentiment of shared misery between two kindred spirits.

But the crucial point was...

I even jumped off a building to end it all, and now you throw me into another mess. Isn't that a bit unfair?!

"Master... Sir, something terrible has happened! Young Master is in trouble!!"

At that moment, an anxious young woman's voice rang out.

"What is it?"

Qin Chuan looked towards the young maid in a green dress.

This maid's name was Xiao Lian, and she was the only servant left after Qin Chuan was stripped of his position as head of the family.

People are indeed fickle in times of trouble.

"Master, Young Master returned from his training and was provoked by Qin Meng. Then... he beat Qin Meng!!"

Xiao Lian's breathing was slightly erratic.

Clearly, she was still in shock.

Not long ago, Young Master Qin Zi was only at the Body Tempering stage, yet after a few days of training, he defeated Qin Meng, who was at the fourth level of the True Yuan stage! It was simply unbelievable.

The gap between the Body Tempering stage and the True Yuan stage was vast.

Even if Young Master Qin Zi had a fortuitous encounter and broke through to the True Yuan stage, it would be impossible for him to rise four levels in just a few days, right?

"This... unfilial son!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He had just transmigrated and hadn't even gotten his footing yet, and trouble was already knocking.

Who was Qin Meng?

He was the son of the new head of the family, Qin Kuang! Beating Qin Meng would certainly provoke Qin Kuang into seeking revenge.

Previously, Qin Chuan wouldn't have feared Qin Meng, but now... with his cultivation crippled, how could he fight Qin Kuang?

He had originally planned to lay low for a while.

But now, everything had fallen apart!!

"Bang—"

Just then, the door was violently kicked open.

A middle-aged man dressed as a steward stormed in, his presence imposing.

He initially intended to look down on Qin Chuan, but when he saw that still imposing face, he instinctively turned his head aside.

After all, this was the former head of the family.

It had only been two days since his demotion, and his authority still lingered.

The steward took a deep breath and then spoke coldly, "Qin Chuan, the family head wants you to meet him at the martial arena."

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan sighed.

He hadn't expected it to come so quickly.

He glanced at the middle-aged man and said calmly, "Lead the way."

"You!"

The middle-aged man was a bit displeased. He had thought that the now-fallen Qin Chuan would treat him with some courtesy, perhaps even humility.

But to his surprise, this phoenix with its feathers plucked still remained so arrogant, which irritated him.

However, irritation aside, he couldn't say anything more, so he could only snort coldly and lead the way.

Soon, the two of them were walking away.

"Master..."

Xiao Lian watched Qin Chuan's departing figure, feeling a sense of sadness. The once high-spirited head of the family had fallen so low.

...

At the martial arena.

A delicate-looking young man in black was being pressed to the ground by two middle-aged men, but he did not struggle.

Instead, he lay there with his face against the ground, tears streaming from his vacant eyes, filled with sorrow and guilt as he murmured to himself.

"Impossible, impossible... How could Father be crippled? How could Father be crippled?"

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it!!"

"I don't believe... sob, sob, Father, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, it's all my fault..."

His voice started out defiant, but gradually, it choked up and became heart-wrenching.

He felt guilty towards his father!

If it weren't for him, how could his father have been crippled, how could he have lost his position as head of the family?

He had caused his father to lose everything! "Heh, Qin Zi, weren't you acting all high and mighty just now? Why are you lying on the ground now?"

Nearby, a burly youth with a swollen face looked down at the young man in black. He was Qin Meng.

At this moment, Qin Meng's face was full of mockery. "But isn't it funny? The moment the son escapes the title of waste, the father becomes the waste... You really are a family, birds of a feather."

"Don't you dare talk about my father!"

Qin Zi's face twisted in fury. He roared, and a powerful force erupted from his body.

"Bang!!"

The two middle-aged men who were holding him down were suddenly knocked away by this force, and then Qin Zi charged at Qin Meng.

"You?!"

Qin Meng's face turned pale with fear, and he even forgot to defend himself.

"Hmph!"

At that moment, a powerful aura swept through the air, crashing into Qin Zi.

"Thud!"

Qin Zi spat out blood and was sent flying, landing on the ground. He turned his head and stared intently at the person who had attacked him.

It was a burly middle-aged man who bore a slight resemblance to Qin Meng, the newly appointed head of the family—Qin Kuang! Qin Kuang looked down at Qin Zi, his expression cold and authoritative. "In my presence, how dare you act so brazenly?"

His heart chilled slightly.

This little bastard had broken through again. How could such a drastic change occur in just a few days?

Could it be... that he had obtained some treasure? With this thought, his eyes narrowed, and he mused to himself, "Perhaps I should find an opportunity to deal with this little bastard..."

"Family head, Qin Chuan has arrived."

At that moment, a voice rang out.

Upon hearing this, Qin Kuang narrowed his eyes and turned to see a familiar figure approaching.

It was the man who had once been his greatest rival, who had overshadowed him in every way, leaving him with a thorn in his side.

But now... this formidable foe was no longer a threat, and he could humiliate him at will!

"Father!!"

Lying on the ground, Qin Zi saw Qin Chuan and cried out excitedly, tears streaming down his face once again.

Qin Chuan looked down.

He saw his son—blood at the corner of his mouth, covered in dust, looking quite pitiful.

He instinctively frowned.

At that moment, Qin Kuang spoke coldly, "Qin Chuan, your son acted recklessly and injured my son, Qin Meng. What do you plan to do about it?"

"Clearly, my son is more seriously injured."

Qin Chuan replied in a deep voice.

"Hmph, that was his punishment. Stirring up trouble within the family deserves punishment. This is an official matter handled fairly."

Qin Kuang looked down at Qin Chuan and sneered, "Now that the official business is over, it's time we talked about personal matters."

"What do you want?"

Qin Chuan asked coldly.

"Heh, it's simple! Either your son kneels and apologizes to my son, or... you and I have a fight!"

Qin Kuang's eyes were sharp and aggressive.
