The Immortal Who Returned from the Netherworld Road – Chapter 10

Ch 10: Don’t flaunt your wealth

In a large villa on the east side of Xizhao Town, Zeng Xing was being a slacker, sitting on the sofa drinking soda, with the latest game console in his hand.

Inside the villa’s study, Zeng Yanhong was smoking a cigarette next to his desk, with an old man in a Tang Suit sitting quietly beside him.

After a long while, Zeng Yanhong opened his mouth and said, “Old Liu, how long have you been with me?”

The old man replied, “Twelve years and nine months!”

“Yes! Twelve years. If I hadn’t offended a big shot from the Ouyang Family in the county and been forced to hide here, perhaps my Zeng Family could have occupied a place in Yuanshi County!”

Old Liu said faintly, “If it is a blessing, it is not a disaster; if it is a disaster, it cannot be avoided!”

“You’re right, if it is a disaster, it cannot be avoided. But whether it is a blessing or a disaster, one must realize it oneself! Today at school, I saw a medium-to-high quality Qingjing Stone in the hands of a student in Senior Year 3 Class 2, worth at least three million! With these three million, maybe we can make a comeback!”

Old Liu listened quietly, knowing that the next task would revolve around this crystal stone.

Zeng Yanhong paused, then said, “Old Liu, Aunt Liu has a tumor, and the surgery requires 200,000. You help me get that crystal stone back, and I’ll pay the 200,000!”

Old Liu got up, cupped his fist, and said, “Leave this matter to me!” He turned around, opened the door, and walked out.

Seeing Zeng Xing playing games, Old Liu showed a look of disdain and quietly walked past him. He had practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his martial arts skills had already reached the hall. Later, Zeng Yanhong took a fancy to him and hired him as a bodyguard with a high salary. On the surface, he is a bodyguard and butler, but in reality, he is Zeng Yanhong’s thug, and he takes action on some shady activities.

Zeng Yanhong came out of the study, and when he saw his son playing games, he became angry. He snatched the game console and smashed it on the ground, roaring, “All you do is play games. If my huge family business is handed over to you, it will be ruined sooner or later!”

Zeng Xing looked at his beloved game console being smashed to pieces and said angrily, “You always say huge family business, if it was really big enough, how could I ruin it all! You keep saying I’m a spendthrift, I’ve only spent a little of your money. If you don’t want to support me, then don’t give birth to me and let your Zeng Family die out!”

Zeng Yanhong became angry and raised his hand to slap him!

Seeing this, Zeng Xing showed his somewhat flushed face and came in front of him, “Hit me, hit me, beat me to death, and see who will carry on your family’s incense!”

Hearing this, Zeng Yanhong put down his hand, took a deep breath, and said apologetically, “Son, it’s my fault. I’ll buy you a new model on the weekend. By the way, about that matter I told you at noon, have you thought about what to do?”

Hearing this, Zeng Xing sat down on the sofa and asked unhappily, “What’s the matter!”

Seeing Zeng Xing like this, he didn’t understand that this kid had forgotten about it. He cursed the prodigal son in his heart, but still showed a gentle smile on his face, “Didn’t I say at noon that the classmate whose things you smashed has a Qingjing Stone? How are you going to get it?”

Hearing this, Zeng Xing said nonchalantly, “This matter! I’ll get it back for you tomorrow! Don’t worry!”

Looking at his nonchalant appearance, he suppressed his anger and said, “Son, this matter should be done sooner rather than later! What if that kid loses that stone? It will be difficult for us to find it again!”

Zeng Xing said dissatisfied, “Do you mean you want me to get it back for you today?”

“That’s natural!” Saying that, he took out three hundred Dragon Country Currency from his wallet and put them on the table, “Go back this afternoon!”

Zeng Xing took the three hundred-yuan bills and smiled, “Okay! Leave this matter to me.” Saying that, he walked out of the house happily.

In the afternoon class, Xi Yang sat in the classroom for three classes. After finishing class, he didn’t want to go to school anymore!

It was completely a waste of time. The knowledge was so simple, but the teachers insisted on explaining it in a nonsensical way, making it even more difficult to understand!

Xi Yang found Teacher Wenrou and wanted to ask for leave.

Teacher Wenrou saw through his thoughts at a glance. No matter what excuse Xi Yang used, she resolutely refused to approve it! This made Xi Yang feel very helpless!

After dinner in the afternoon, Xi Yang bought some daily necessities and placed them in the classroom. It would be difficult to ensure that they would not be damaged again if they were returned to the dormitory, so it would be safer to put them in the classroom first.

Han Cheng, on the other hand, deliberately kept a certain distance from Xi Yang because of what happened at noon.

Xi Yang understood his concerns and didn’t pay too much attention to it.

In the evening, after finishing evening self-study, Xi Yang waited for the dorm inspector to finish checking the room and quietly went to the top of Niubeidong Mountain again.

He sat cross-legged on the top of the mountain and focused on cultivating.

In the silent night, only a few gentle breezes blew through the mountains.

Suddenly, a trace of unusual movement aroused Xi Yang’s vigilance. His eyes opened instantly, his body tensed, like a cheetah about to attack, staring intently ahead.

After a while, a person wearing a Tang Suit and a mask walked out of the forest. In the hazy moonlight, it could be clearly seen that this person was an old man. The Qi and Blood on his body was particularly strong, and the steps under his feet were as steady as a rock. At a glance, he knew that he was a martial artist!

Xi Yang’s eyes were sharp, and he looked at the other party and asked, “Old man, what are you doing here so late?”

The old man’s mouth raised slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, and said softly, “Then what about you? Looking at you, you’re just a student. At this time, you’re not sleeping in the dormitory, but you’ve run here?”

Xi Yang frowned slightly, his eyes locked on the old man, slowly stood up, and replied in a firm tone, “I naturally have my reasons. What exactly are you here for?”

The old man chuckled, not caring about Xi Yang’s attitude. He casually broke off a branch, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and said casually, “I looked around, and if I hadn’t seen your figure walking this way, I wouldn’t have been able to find you today! I have only one purpose, hand over the Qingjing Stone on your body, and I won’t make things difficult for you!”

Xi Yang looked at the other party’s appearance and sneered, “Want my things? Who told you the Qingjing Stone is in my hands?”

Hearing this, the old man was stunned, and said in a deep voice, “Little brat, stop talking nonsense. This old man has practiced martial arts since childhood, and it has been more than fifty years! Don’t force me to take action, if I accidentally kill you! That would be bad!”

Xi Yang frowned, paused, and then asked, “Who wants my Qingjing Stone? Zeng Xing is my classmate, do you think there is some misunderstanding? Everyone is friends, don’t hurt the harmony!” The only one who has the deepest hatred with him is Zeng Xing.

The old man showed a disdainful expression on his face, shook his head and said, “Want to trick me, you kid is still a little tender!” After saying that, he spat out the branch he was chewing in his mouth.

Xi Yang’s eyes narrowed, and he saw that the branch shot towards him like a flying needle. He hurriedly stretched out two fingers and put them together, accurately clamped the branch, and threw it aside casually.

Seeing this, the old man quickly stepped forward, his clenched fist carrying a powerful force, and slammed towards Xi Yang like a cannonball.

Xi Yang flashed his body, avoiding the old man’s attack, and then launched a fierce battle with the old man.

This old man’s strength is quite extraordinary, his punches and kicks are powerful and heavy, and the strong wind blows Xi Yang’s skin painfully.

After fighting him for dozens of rounds, he only felt that his hands and feet were numb. If Xi Yang hadn’t dispersed the congestion in time by circulating Spiritual Power, he would have been seriously injured at this time.

At this moment, the old man waved his fist again, Xi Yang quickly waved his hand and slapped it, while advancing with an elbow strike. The old man reacted extremely quickly, quickly changed his move, dragged Xi Yang’s elbow, and pushed hard, Xi Yang’s body was pushed away. Then he rushed up quickly, making Xi Yang only able to dodge constantly, unable to compete with him head-on.

The two fought for a long time, and their physical strength was greatly consumed. The old man was already panting, and his speed also slowed down! And Xi Yang was in better condition because he had Spiritual Power support in his body.

Seeing this scene, the old man couldn’t help but sigh in his heart: It’s not that his strength is inferior to Xi Yang, but his age is getting older, and his physical strength is far less than it was in the past. If he continues to fight like this, I’m afraid it will be difficult for him to go down the mountain today!

At this moment, the old man suddenly rushed forward, trying to catch Xi Yang off guard with a sudden acceleration. How could Xi Yang be fooled by this little trick? He quickly retreated backward, avoiding the old man’s attack, then stepped forward, and suddenly kicked the old man in the abdomen. The old man staggered back several steps.

Taking this opportunity, the old man immediately turned around and ran towards the forest.
