The Immortal Who Returned from the Netherworld Road – Chapter 51

Ch 51: Duo’er’s Emotion

The old man slowly woke up, opened his eyes, and saw Xi Yang in front of him, his eyes full of gratitude. He said weakly, “Thank you, young brother! If you hadn’t rescued me, I’m afraid I would have lost my life on the Road to the Underworld today.”

Mr. Wang, who was beside him, heard the old man’s words, his face suddenly turned livid, and he snorted coldly, “Hmph, kid, you just used the effect of my elixir to wake Old Feng up. You even dare to brag about your medical skills. You’re really shameless!”

At this time, Doctor Xu, who was beside him, couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Wang, you can’t say that. This young brother’s medical skills are indeed superb. Just now, that acupuncture technique really pulled Old Feng back from the gates of hell. Don’t slander him!”

“Shut up!” Mr. Wang shouted angrily, pointing at Doctor Xu and scolding, “You incompetent quack, people fell in your clinic, and in the end, others had to come and help treat them. Do you still have the face to talk here?”

The surrounding crowd watched this scene and shook their heads and sighed, but no one stood up to help. After all, they didn’t dare to offend either of them.

Just then, an ear-piercing ambulance siren came from outside the clinic. Immediately afterward, a slightly chubby middle-aged doctor led four nurses and rushed into the clinic in a hurry. They quickly put the old man on a stretcher and sent him to the hospital for further treatment.

The old man lay on the stretcher, breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Feng Yueling, who was at a loss beside him, “Girl, remember, this young brother saved my life. You must thank him properly for me later!” After speaking, he was carried onto the ambulance by the medical staff and sped away.

Doctor Xu and Mr. Wang in the crowd glanced at each other and turned to leave.

Soon, the old man was carried onto the ambulance.

Feng Yueling nodded with a complicated expression, her eyes falling on Xi Yang and Ma Budo. She didn’t have much affection for Xi Yang. This guy didn’t look bad, but he was definitely not a good person. He actually abused his own sister. He was definitely scum!

She said unhappily, “Hey, kid, leave a phone number so I can repay you later!”

Xi Yang shook his head, “No need!” and pulled Ma Budo away! Ignoring Feng Yueling’s ugly face.

The two walked aimlessly on the main road.

Ma Budo quietly followed Xi Yang, and suddenly asked, “Master, am I too stupid! Always causing you trouble?”

“Why do you think so?” Xi Yang stopped and turned around, looking at Ma Budo seriously. His eyes were clear and warm, as if he could see through the unease and self-blame in Ma Budo’s heart.

Ma Budo lowered her head, her voice with a hint of guilt: “It’s always because of me that you are in trouble. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have encountered these troubles.”

Xi Yang smiled softly, reached out and touched Ma Budo’s head, comforting her, “It’s okay, don’t talk too much about the past!”

“You didn’t really want to save that old man, even though you didn’t say anything? But I can feel it!” Duo’er said with a low expression.

Xi Yang smiled, “There is a saying that a tall tree attracts the wind. Ability is not used to show off, but to protect yourself. When you are still a rootless duckweed, any wind can blow you down. Without a firm foothold, how can you resist the wind from all directions. We each have to do our best for ourselves, how can we have time to care about others?”

“But that old grandpa was about to die, are we just going to stand by and watch? When others are in trouble, why don’t we help if we can?” Duo’er retorted.

Xi Yang looked back at her, “Alas! Have you ever thought about it? If that person is a heinous villain, saving him will harm more people! Do you still think you should save him?”

“Why not? I just did what I should do. What kind of person he is has nothing to do with me!” Duo’er said with a serious face.

Looking at this stubborn girl, Xi Yang was quite speechless. An inexperienced little girl, this kind-hearted personality is really speechless. But wasn’t this what he valued in her?

“Alright, if you want to save him, that’s your business. Practice the Mystic Ice Art diligently. When you cultivate to a hundred Spiritual Energy, you can also save that old man!” Since he couldn’t convince her, he would let her experience it herself. The best teacher is the South Wall. After she smashes her head and bleeds, she will naturally understand everything.

Xi Yang found a simple house to rent. The house had four bedrooms, one living room, and one bathroom, and the price was 1,000. It was not bad for Xi Yang now. Now he didn’t have much money left. It cost 20,000 to get a household registration and ID card, 60,000 to buy various medicinal materials, plus the expenses along the way, and there were only more than 5,000 Dragon Country Currency left in his card.

Although there were still a few High-Grade Spirit Stones in the Storage Bag, if this thing was discovered by someone with ulterior motives, it might attract an investigation from the Dragon Country National Security, or even attract the pursuit of experts from the Netherworld Hall. Although he was not afraid, it would not be good to harm Duo’er!

His newly accepted disciple would be gone before she grew up. Who would protect Xi Changsheng and his wife in the future!

Giving up this idea, Xi Yang couldn’t help but sigh. He was an Immortal, but he didn’t expect to be worried about money in this Mortal Realm.

The next day, he left Duo’er at home. Xi Yang went out alone to learn about the situation in Longshan County.

After wandering around for a whole day, he returned home. The situation in Longshan County was quite special, unlike Yuanshi County, where one family dominated. There was only one family here ━ the Feng Family. In Longshan County, the main industry was medicinal materials, and the Feng Family was the leader in this business, controlling nearly 70% of the market in Longshan County. In addition, the Feng Family had a presence in various industries such as real estate, supermarkets, and electricity. It could be said that the Feng Family was the economic lifeline of Longshan County.

It was not easy to make money here. This place was not developed, there were not many wealthy people, and the economic form was single. Although the medicinal material business also had a pivotal position in the Dragon Country, there were too many counties near the Longhua Mountains, which led to this business not being considered popular! What’s more, there was the monopoly of the behemoth Feng Family.

Because of this, if you want to get money here, there is no extra choice except for a proper job. Of course, robbing a bank is also a method, but Xi Yang has his own bottom line, and he will not choose this kind of thing. Even for him, this matter can be done without leaving any traces.

Duo’er saw Xi Yang come back and quickly greeted him, “Master, dinner is ready!”

Sitting at the dining table, looking at the dishes on the table that looked normal, Xi Yang picked up the vegetables in front of him and put them in his mouth. After chewing it, he immediately felt a strong salty taste on his tongue. Even with Xi Yang’s powerful concentration, he almost spat it out.

Duo’er looked at Xi Yang expectantly, waiting for his praise.

He endured the discomfort and swallowed it. He put down his chopsticks and said lightly, “You did a good job, don’t bother next time, spend more time cultivating!”

Duo’er stuck out her tongue, not understanding that the dishes she made were unpalatable.

She took a bite unwillingly, and the salty and bitter taste made her spit out the food. She turned her head to look at Xi Yang’s room, and a sense of admiration rose in her heart.

When she was in Mabu Village, she only became a disciple in order to survive. As for avenging Ma Buza, she didn’t have this idea after her memory recovered! She had always been in awe and fear of Xi Yang, fearing that Xi Yang would abandon her one day.

But now she realized that Xi Yang really regarded her as a disciple. Thinking of this, tears welled up in her eyes, and she felt a mixture of emotions.
