The Immortal Who Returned from the Netherworld Road – Chapter 16

Ch 15: Han Cheng’s Decision

After class, Xi Yang found an excuse to return to the dormitory. Since only wooden boards were left on his bed, even his suitcase was gone. Their eyes were fixed on Han Cheng, not only the suitcase, but even the bed was messed up.

The matter was about the same as he had expected. Han Cheng suffered this calamity because of him, so he should help him.

Then he returned to the classroom for class, sitting there boringly for a whole day. These teachers have become cunning. In order to keep Xi Yang in the classroom, no matter whether Xi Yang sleeps or does something else, they turn a blind eye! This left Xi Yang with no room to maneuver.

After attending classes at school for a day, Xi Yang sighed helplessly. This was him giving Teacher Wenrou face. She came forward to bail him out at the police station, so he owed her a favor no matter what.

Tomorrow is the monthly exam ranking. If he doesn’t do well on the exam, he will have to change classes. For Xi Yang, there is no need to care. Doing well or doing badly doesn’t mean much to him!

During evening self-study, Xi Yang went to Teacher Wenrou again to ask for leave.

“Come in.” Teacher Wenrou’s voice came, and Xi Yang pushed the door open and walked in.

“Teacher Wenrou, I want to ask for leave,” Xi Yang said bluntly.

Teacher Wenrou frowned slightly, looking at Xi Yang: “Why?”

Xi Yang said lightly, “I’m not feeling well, I’m asking for leave! Teacher, I’m leaving first!” After saying that, Xi Yang ran away in a puff of smoke, not giving her a chance to speak at all.

This made Teacher Wenrou quite frustrated. She finally managed to keep Xi Yang in the classroom, but this guy asks for leave at every turn, which is really a headache.

After Xi Yang left the school, he came to the Health Center, and then walked to the ward floor where Han Cheng was.

When entering the ward, Xi Yang found it empty. Only Han Cheng was lying on the bed, his face pale. He gently placed a bag of apples he was carrying on the table, and walked to the bedside to sit down.

Seeing Xi Yang coming, there was not much joy on Han Cheng’s face, and he seemed a little indifferent.

Xi Yang asked softly: “Han Cheng, are you feeling better?”

Han Cheng replied indifferently: “I’m fine. My injuries are not serious. I will be discharged from the hospital in a few days.”

Hearing him say this, Xi Yang’s heart sank, knowing that Han Cheng must be blaming him for implicating him.

He smiled helplessly and continued to ask: “Where is your father? Isn’t he here to take care of you?”

Han Cheng’s tone was still cold, “He and Zeng Xing’s Father went out to eat, and will be back later.” After saying that, he turned his head and stopped looking at Xi Yang.

Xi Yang nodded and said, “Okay! Since that’s the case, then I’ll take my leave first!” After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

“Wait, take the things you brought with you, I don’t like to eat apples,” Han Cheng suddenly said.

Hearing this, Xi Yang stopped, turned to look at Han Cheng, shook his head helplessly, and replied, “I know.”

He reached out and picked up the fruit placed on the table, secretly injected a stream of Spiritual Energy into Han Cheng’s body to help him clear the stagnant Blood Qi, and then left the Health Center.

Xi Yang had expected this matter long ago. He knew that there was only a relationship of interest between merchants. What may be a disaster for ordinary people is a rare opportunity to make connections for those merchants.

He looked back at the ward where Han Cheng was, and sighed secretly in his heart: “He and I are not on the same path after all. He suffered because of me, and I can only secretly help him and heal him. In this way, we can call it even.”

He is not a pedantic person, and he won’t do things like offering a warm face to a cold reception.

After Xi Yang finished dinner on the street, he returned to Villa Number Nine! Looking at the magnificent decoration, Xi Yang always felt that he was in a dream, but when he opened his eyes, it was reality.

The location of this villa is very good, neither too remote nor too lively. Facing south, the front is an open field, and in the distance are mountains surrounding it. Behind the villa is a Dwarf Tree Mountain, with lush trees on the mountain, and a faint smell of grass and trees blowing from time to time.

After observing the surrounding environment of the villa, Xi Yang had the idea of setting up a Spirit Gathering Array, but now he doesn’t have enough Spirit Stones. He must go to the County Town this weekend to get some Crystals back.

Then, calming his heart, Xi Yang began to cultivate again.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and entered a meditative state. He began to mobilize the Spiritual Energy in his body, allowing them to run according to specific routes. This process requires a high degree of concentration and patience, but it has become commonplace for Xi Yang.

As time passed, he felt streams of Spiritual Energy rising from his abdomen and gradually spreading throughout his body. The flow of these Spiritual Energy in the Meridians made him feel comfortable and relaxed, and also improved his perception.

The next day, Xi Yang ended his cultivation early. The results of this night’s cultivation were very average, and he only condensed eleven streams of Spiritual Energy. Today is Friday, and the school is holding a monthly exam. Out of student instinct, he was awakened early.

After breakfast, Xi Yang walked into the examination hall early. Because he arrived too early, there were not many people in the examination hall at all! These early students were on their desks, holding pencils, and writing and drawing on the desks.

Xi Yang ignored their actions and sat in his seat to rest. As more and more candidates entered the examination hall, the examination hall became restless. The students discussed what knowledge points would be tested in the upcoming subjects.

Soon the invigilator walked into the examination hall, simply checked the students’ desks and drawers, and distributed the test papers.

In the morning, it’s Ancient Language, Foreign Language, and Geography, and in the afternoon, it’s Math, History, and Morality!

From eight o’clock in the morning to five o’clock in the afternoon. The exam content was very simple for Xi Yang. He felt that he was going to get first place this time.

After finishing the monthly exam, Xi Yang finished dinner on the street and returned to his villa.

The next two days are the weekend, so you can rest for two days. He must make a fortune during these two days, otherwise he will have to go hungry again!

Thinking of this, Xi Yang called Liu Jiazhou over by phone. Looking at Liu Jiazhou’s blank face, Xi Yang asked, “Student Liu, do you know where the Jade Gambling Market in Yuanshi County is?”

Liu Jiazhou asked in confusion, “Xi Yang, what’s wrong? Why would you think of going to such a place?”

Xi Yang didn’t explain, and said calmly, “You don’t need to worry about this matter, just tell me the location of the Jade Gambling Market!”

Liu Jiazhou shook his head, “Even if you know where the Jade Gambling Market is, you can’t get in!”

“Why?” Xi Yang asked.

“Because those with assets below three million are not allowed to enter? This is the entry rule. It is to prevent those who overestimate themselves from passing themselves off as qualified,” Liu Jiazhou said.

There is actually this threshold, it seems that this Stone Gambling is not something ordinary people can afford to play.

Seeing Xi Yang’s thoughtful expression, Liu Jiazhou smiled and said, “Even if you can’t go to the main venue, you can still participate in the second round of Stone Gambling. The so-called second round of Stone Gambling is when those local tyrants open a surface, but don’t cut out anything good, so they put it in the hands of some second-hand dealers in order to protect their capital.”

Xi Yang nodded and then said, “Can you ask your father to arrange it so I can enter the main venue for Stone Gambling!”

Liu Jiazhou said upon hearing this, “Are you crazy? You really want to go?”

Xi Yang nodded, “Please!”

Liu Jiazhou sighed, “Okay! This is the first time you’ve asked me for help, so I definitely have to get it done for you properly!” After saying that, he left quickly.
