That look was indeed scrutinizing.

Su Ping was looking at their attitudes and expressions, and seemed to be asking silently, is that all?

The apology contained no true feelings and was even forced out by family members.

Su Ping did not accept such an apology, nor did he need it.

"Please go back." Su Ping said calmly without even looking at them.

This attitude and arrogance are the extreme form of being unyielding even when one is right. He thinks he is the one in the right and feels fearless.

Maybe it shouldn't be like this, but if it wasn't, Su Ping felt it was too easy for them.

After these words were spoken, the faces of the two parents changed. Although they were not very smart, they had lived for so many years and had some ability to read people's expressions.

Su Ping's behavior of not even wanting to look at them made the girls' parents secretly complain and regret not teaching them well.

Because this is something that happened in the village, it won't take long for it to spread throughout the entire village. By then, not only will the reputation of these women be ruined, but people who have contact with them may also be implicated.

But if Su Ping could accept their apology, it would ease the rumors a little and also help them save some face as they are over fifty years old.

"Little prodigy." This time it was the young man who spoke. He said with sincerity, "My parents and I brought my sister here to sincerely apologize to you. If you don't accept it, we... won't leave!"

"I'll keep apologizing until you accept it." The young man said, bowed, and said loudly: "I'm sorry, I didn't discipline my sister well enough!"

Su Ping remained silent and still did not look at them.

The young man and the parents of one of the girls saw this and became anxious when they saw that Su Ping was reluctant to give in. If this took too long, the villagers would come to watch and make fun of their family.

If that happened, not only would I lose face, but every time I vaguely noticed that others were talking about me, I would think of that day and be tortured over and over again.

Fearing that something like this would happen, the parents of the two girls urged them to do the right thing, said all the nice things they could, and even withdrew from the friendship of several generations past in an attempt to gain some favor.

Then they lectured the two women, making them unable to raise their heads. They could only agree repeatedly, then looked at Su Ping and shouted:

"I'm sorry, it's all our fault. We shouldn't have done that. Please forgive us, little prodigy. We won't do that again!"

Su Ping's eyes flickered, and he said slowly: "You really don't dare?"

"We don't dare anymore, we don't dare anymore!" The two women hurriedly shook their heads with a hint of fear in their eyes. It was also from the words of their family members just now that they understood what the consequences would be if this matter became a big deal.

Su Ping folded his hands in front of him, looking like a little kid with a big heart, and said slowly: "Actually, this matter can be big or small. Since your attitude is quite sincere, I will forgive you first!"

After these words were spoken, the two women and their families all breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, Su Ping's voice rang out again, startling us again.

“But…” Su Ping glanced around and saw that people were slowly gathering. He then said, “But, you can’t do this again in the future. That’s what you said just now.”

"If you dare to do it again... Humph! Not to mention that you didn't abide by the contract, the Rock King Emperor will not let you go, and even the elders and villagers present will not agree!"

"Yes! The little prodigy is right!"

"We all heard it, so pay attention!"

"Alas, you are a girl who has not learned your lesson. You imitate others and block the door and yell. You have no manners at all!"

Before the two women could say anything, someone spoke up to respond. In such occasions, what is most lacking is people who dare to take the lead.

"You all heard it. Don't do it again." Su Ping said calmly, and his clasped hands dropped.

When the two women saw so many people suddenly surrounding them, they couldn't help but sweat on their foreheads and said in trembling voices: "We won't dare to do it again, really!"

Su Ping waited for a while, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, since you have promised me, let's go back."

"Thank you, thank you little prodigy..."

The families of the two women nodded and said nice things to them, then pulled the two people who caused the incident out of the crowd and fled home.

The rest of the people had not yet dispersed, and were watching around, probably waiting to see if there was anything else.

Uncle Zhang also hurried over, with some rice grains on the corners of his mouth. He wiped them off with his hand, put them back into his mouth and licked his lips.

The villagers who had been watching nearby also greeted Uncle Zhang warmly when they saw him coming, because this guy had some say in the village.

Standing together with Su Yue's family, Uncle Zhang asked about what had just happened, then nodded thoughtfully, no one knew what he was thinking about.

Su Ping pondered, looking at Uncle Zhang and his parents, and said slowly: "Mom and Dad, Uncle Zhang, it's actually unnecessary to go to their house to ask for an explanation."

As he spoke, he glanced at the reactions of the people around him, then sighed and said, "If after I go, everyone apologizes reluctantly like before, then I might as well not go."

"If we go, it will make us look petty and ungenerous, and it will be troublesome. Why don't we just forget it?"

"That won't do. We must seek justice!" Li Ying looked at her son's face and listened to the words that should have hinted at something, her expression firm.

Su Ping spread his hands and said helplessly: "But, we can't keep wasting time like this, what if they don't apologize? I have to leave after tomorrow!"

At this point, Uncle Zhang also fell into thought and suggested, "How about I help you talk to them one by one and see how the parents of these girls manage things."

Su Ping shook his head and said, "Uncle Zhang, please don't waste your breath on this. If they really know what to do, maybe I can see them tomorrow and come over to apologize, but if they don't understand, there's nothing I can do."

"We can't force them, otherwise we might be punished by the immortals, who would whip our spines or pierce our hearts with swords!"

"Ping'er is right." Li Ying, who had originally looked determined, unexpectedly gave up the idea after hearing a few words from her son.

For her, this kind of thing could only happen to a few people, and Su Ping happened to be one of them, but perhaps it was not as simple as it seemed.

Su Yue looked at his wife with a smile on her face and scratched his head, a little confused. However, he still looked as if he was not less angry so as not to make any mistakes.

At this time, the villagers who had been talking just now stopped talking and looked at the little prodigy who was only half a person's height.

They heard Su Ping's words and were deeply saddened by the actions of these women. They were even more afraid of what the eight-year-old prodigy had gone through.

Although he has always been called a child prodigy, in their eyes, he is still just a child. If it were any other child, he would probably not even be able to speak clearly by now.

The villagers do talk a lot sometimes, but it is precisely this openness to talk that has made them simple and honest, and has formed their inability to tolerate bullying.

"Little prodigy, we can go and talk to them! Don't worry, we will definitely get the job done!" Someone spoke up immediately, attracting the approval of the people around them.

"That's right, let's go together. I don't believe they can hold it in and not go out!"

"Let's all go together. There's strength in numbers. Let's show these people who ruined our village's reputation how powerful we are!"

Su Ping smiled slightly, looked at them, and said sincerely: "This is too much trouble for you, we are all from the same village..."

A man in the crowd waved his hand and said, "What are you talking about? We are just fellow villagers, so there is no need to bother with anything."

"Exactly. The little prodigy is really soft-hearted. Even in this situation, he still cares about them."

"Alas, the one who is bullied is thinking about bullying himself. The child prodigy is indeed a child prodigy!"

Words like these may be an expression of true feelings or just a casual remark, all of which are expressed at this moment.

Su Ping saw this and felt that the time was right, so he bowed with both hands and saluted them, saying, "Well, thank you all very much."

After that, they exchanged pleasantries for a long time, talking about everything under the sun, from east to west, and only left when it was almost late at night.

Only four people were left.

Su Yue, who still couldn't figure it out, looked at his wife and asked puzzledly: "Xiaoying, what's going on? Why don't you go?"

Li Ying looked at her somewhat silly husband and smiled, "It's not that I won't go, it's that I want them to come by themselves and apologize honestly."

"But how can we be sure of this?" Su Yue scratched his head with a curious look in his eyes.

"I don't know whether they are willing or not, but even if I have to act them out, I have to act it well, otherwise others won't let them go." Li Ying's eyes were slightly closed, like two crescent moons.

Su Yue nodded, still looking a little confused, but since it was done by his wife and son, it must not be a bad thing. He would never waver in his belief on this point.

The couple was chatting happily, while Su Ping was watching quietly beside them, feeling a little amused.

As for Uncle Zhang, after taking a look at the family of three, he waved to Su Ping and left quietly, not wanting to disturb this slightly warm scene.

"Mom and Dad, it's getting late. Aren't you guys going to bed yet?" Su Ping said, covering his mouth with his hand and yawning.

"Ping'er, you are sleepy, so go to bed first. I think your father can't sleep tonight because he can't think things through. I will go and comfort him." Li Ying touched her son's head and said softly.

Su Ping nodded, and did not delay their actions any longer. He immediately returned to the room, climbed onto the bed, and covered himself with the quilt, ignoring what was happening outside...
