The Immortal Who Returned from the Netherworld Road – Chapter 42

Ch 42: Han Lai

In the late autumn season, the cold wind is bleak, and the fallen leaves are fluttering. The villa area of Yuanshi County is shrouded in a layer of golden ginkgo leaves, like a beautiful picture scroll. However, Gongsun Yuan’s mood was as desolate as this autumn wind.

She looked lonely, her steps heavy, as she slowly walked on the road covered with ginkgo leaves. Just now, she had learned a shocking news—seven days ago, Xi Yang had actually killed Xi Dong, the Deputy Director of the County Public Security Bureau who was enforcing the law, and more than twenty police officers who were on duty with him. What was even more terrifying was that he was later hunted down by Cang Cong, a powerful expert from the National Security, who chased him for thirty miles and finally successfully killed him in the Longhua Mountains.

This news made Gongsun Yuan’s heart clench fiercely, and an unspeakable grief surged into her heart. She hurriedly took out her phone and dialed Huang Shiman’s number. At this moment, the two of them were rushing to the meeting place.

Gongsun Yuan silently looked at the ginkgo leaves all over the ground, and tears couldn’t help but burst out of her eyes. She asked herself in her heart again and again: “What exactly did I see in him?” That man was arrogant and conceited, seemingly affectionate, but actually ruthless. I tried my best to help him, but he didn’t even make a phone call afterwards! But why can’t I be angry with him? Could it be… do I really like him?

Gongsun Yuan fell into deep self-doubt, feeling extremely confused and lost. She didn’t know how to face this feeling, nor did she know what the future would hold. She could only walk aimlessly along this road full of ginkgo leaves, as if lost in this late autumn world.

Huang Shiman, who was coming towards her, saw her appearance and asked with concern, “Xiao Yuan, what’s wrong? What happened?”

At this time, Huang Shiyun behind her suddenly jumped out, patted her shoulder and comforted her, “Don’t be sad, it’s okay! Although that kid is dead, there are many other handsome guys in the world! And Xiao Yuan, you are so excellent, as long as you wave your hand casually, there will definitely be a lot of people lining up to wait for you to choose!”

Gongsun Yuan was so angry when she heard this that she pushed away her hand and scolded angrily, “You dead girl, what nonsense are you talking about? See if I don’t teach you a lesson!” As she said that, she was about to reach out and hit her.

Seeing this, Huang Shiyun quickly hid behind her sister and said coquettishly, “Sister, sister, look at her, she’s anxious! When we made a bet just now, you also said that she wouldn’t fall in love with that guy Xi Yang, after all, they are all children from wealthy families, how could they fall in love at first sight so easily! But now look, this guy is obviously caught in the whirlpool of love and can’t extricate herself!”

Huang Shiman looked helplessly at the two people chasing and fighting, shook her head and said, “Okay, you two stop making trouble! Now that Xi Yang is dead, and the National Security has come forward to testify, this is definitely the truth, it can’t be fake. Instead of chasing and fighting here, it’s better to think carefully about how to help him deal with the aftermath!”

The two of them realized that they had lost their composure after hearing her words, so they stopped chasing.

Gongsun Yuan said, “I’ll give 1 million to Xi Yang’s parents for their retirement!”

Huang Shiman nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll give 100,000 to his parents to settle down.”

Gongsun Yuan rubbed her ears, suspecting that she had misheard. She looked at Huang Shiman with a puzzled expression and said, “Sister Shiman, only 100,000?”

You should know that Xi Yang is a consultant of Huang’s Rough Stones, and he has helped you. However, Huang Shiman only intends to take out a mere 100,000 to settle Xi Yang’s parents. Why is she so stingy?

Huang Shiman nodded expressionlessly. She explained, “Xi Yang is already dead, too much wealth is not a good thing for them.”

Gongsun Yuan couldn’t help but retort, “But he helped you!”

Huang Shiman replied, “Helping is just a favor, I didn’t ask him to help. That’s how it is, I’m leaving first.” After saying that, she pulled Huang Shiyun and turned to leave without hesitation.

Gongsun Yuan looked at their departing backs, her heart filled with anger. She felt that Huang Shiman was simply an ungrateful person, and she shouted loudly, “Huang Shiman, you ungrateful fellow, you will regret today’s decision!”

Huang Shiman’s voice came faintly from a distance: “I won’t regret it for a dead person, and I’m just doing what I can.”

Huang Shiyun on the side asked in confusion, “Is it worth it to make enemies with her for a little money?”

Gongsun Yuan was even more angry after hearing this, and she cursed loudly, “What a shameless person!”

Gongsun Yuan felt disappointed and angry at Huang Shiman’s behavior, but she was helpless.

In the depths of the Donghua Mountains, there is a hidden lake covered by lush vegetation. The lake surface is as calm as a mirror, reflecting the surrounding mountains and sky. However, above this peaceful scene, there is a floating red light sphere.

Inside the light sphere, a figure loomed—it was Xi Yang’s Nascent Soul. He was concentrating on refining the Red-Clothed Xi Yang. This Red-Clothed Xi Yang was no ordinary person, but his own Divided Soul, whose strength far exceeded ordinary experts.

As time passed, three months had passed in the blink of an eye.

At this time, the Longhua Mountains were completely covered in white snow, like a huge silver mountain. On the top of the mountain, the cold wind was biting, and the whistling wind was as deafening as the roar of a dragon and the roar of a tiger. The mountain wind blew through the mountain forest, stirring up a thick layer of five-colored waves, as if the entire mountain range was cheering.

Xi Yang also recovered his cultivation during this period and made amazing progress. His realm broke through to Qi Refining Completion in one fell swoop, only one step away from Foundation Establishment, but to truly achieve Foundation Establishment, he still needed more opportunities.

As the red-clothed man integrated the last trace of Spiritual Power into his Nascent Soul.

He immediately felt a powerful force surge into his heart, making him feel refreshed.

, the surging Soul Power injected into Xi Yang’s Nascent Soul, and a terrifying aura filled his entire mind. A feeling of swelling filled his heart.

Xizhao Middle School, Teacher’s Office.

Teacher Wenrou listened to Teacher Liu talking about Xi Yang’s affairs, and felt mixed emotions in her heart. If she had kept Xi Yang in the class, would things have changed?

“I heard that that kid Xi Yang got into trouble. I really didn’t expect that this guy would be so fierce as to attack the police. It was good that I approved his leave in time, otherwise, he would have killed all my classmates in this class! It serves such a person right to die, saving him from harming the world!”

“Teacher Liu, your words are too serious! Although Xi Yang can’t be considered a good student, he’s not as unbearable as you said!” Huang Dayou on the side said.

“Teacher Huang, you know a person’s face but not their heart. Xi Yang is not a good bird. According to the students from his village, this guy doesn’t help his grandfather with work at home. He usually steals other people’s plums from the trees. This time, he not only occupied other people’s villas, but also attacked the police who were enforcing the law! It serves him right to die. Such a person will end up in jail even if he goes out into society!” Liu Xinyue said hatefully.

Teacher Wenrou interjected, “Teacher Liu, Xi Yang is already gone. As a teacher, if you don’t remember his good deeds and slander him, can your conscience rest easy?”

“He’s not a good person anyway?” Liu Xinyue replied. She felt angry when she thought of him threatening her to ask for leave.

Teacher Wenrou said, “Xi Yang is a good child. He doesn’t help his grandparents with work because they don’t live together. He lives alone at home, and he’s already busy enough cooking and washing clothes every day! Secondly, his grandparents are not good to him. When he boarded at his grandparents’ house in the first year of junior high school, it was a small matter to work every day, but they would often not give him food, so he went to steal other people’s plums. As for you saying that he forcibly occupied other people’s villas, as far as I know, that villa was transferred with a contract signed by Liu Zhengtian himself, and that house was originally his. But Liu Zhengtian didn’t keep his promise, which led to this misfortune and the loss of his life.”

“Then his attack on the police is a fact, right!” Liu Xinyue argued.

Teacher Wenrou shook her head, “Those police officers were people from the Netherworld Hall who were planted in the police force. I can’t say the reason for it!”

“You can’t say it, you’re talking nonsense!” Liu Xinyue shouted.

Slap!

A loud slap landed on Liu Xinyue’s face.

“My dad is the Director of the Public Security Bureau, and you say I’m talking nonsense!” Teacher Wenrou said angrily.

Liu Xinyue looked at Teacher Wenrou in disbelief, covering her face and unable to speak.

The other teachers in the office also looked at her in shock.

Teacher Wenrou glanced at everyone, sighed, and said, “Don’t talk nonsense about what happened today!”

After she finished speaking, she got up and walked out of the office.
