Ch 6: Beating Up Zeng Xing
After attending three evening self-study sessions, Xi Yang reviewed all the textbooks he had learned. These knowledge points were not complicated for Xi Yang. With his powerful Divine Sense, Xi Yang achieved photographic memory.
After finishing the last course, Xi Yang threw the book on the table and closed his eyes to rest.
Wang Xin, who was beside him, saw this and tugged at Xi Yang’s clothes, asking, “Xi Yang, have you finished your homework for today?”
Xi Yang shook his head blankly, “What homework?”
Wang Xin looked disbelieving. Xi Yang was usually the most active in handing in homework, but today he hadn’t written any. She stared at Xi Yang blankly for a while, then took out a stack of workbooks from her desk and put them on Xi Yang’s desk, “This is today’s homework, hurry up and copy it! Otherwise, you’ll be scolded by the teacher again tomorrow!”
Looking at the stack of workbooks on the table, Xi Yang sent the books back to her, “I’m not going to write it! I can’t finish it anyway!” What a joke, copying seven or eight workbooks in such a short time, and the key is that the exercises are useless! It’s a pure waste of time.
Wang Xin heard this and said with a worried face, “Xi Yang, if you don’t do your homework, you’ll fail the exam on Friday and be assigned to a bad class!”
Xi Yang smiled indifferently, “It doesn’t matter!”
Wang Xin looked at Xi Yang, hesitated to speak, and sighed before closing her mouth.
Not long after, the bell rang for the end of the evening self-study session.
Xi Yang, carrying the few remaining dried meat pieces, walked out.
Back in the room, the stench inside had been blown away by the wind. The students in the same dormitory returned to the room one after another. Twelve students lived in one room, and they took over the toilet as soon as class was over, lining up to take a shower inside.
Xi Yang saw Han Cheng sitting restlessly on the bed and walked over. “Han Cheng, what’s wrong?”
Han Cheng heard Xi Yang’s voice and looked up in panic, saying with a crying voice, “Xi Yang, I’m sorry? I didn’t tell the truth that day, I…”
Xi Yang smiled at him, of course understanding what he was talking about! After all, Zeng Xing’s group was large and powerful, and there was nothing wrong with protecting himself? Besides, he had been helping him keep his phone! He patted his shoulder and interrupted, “Alright, aren’t I alright?”
Han Cheng said with a wry smile, “That’s true!”
Looking at the worried Han Cheng, Xi Yang said, “Han Cheng, do you consider me a friend?” He could tell at a glance that this guy had something on his mind. It wasn’t that he liked to meddle in other people’s business, but this guy was Xi Yang’s best friend and often helped Xi Yang.
Han Cheng nodded, “Of course!”
Xi Yang smiled, pulled him to the big tree in front of the dormitory door, and asked, “Tell me, what happened?”
Han Cheng stammered, “No… nothing?”
Xi Yang sighed, “Does this look like nothing to you?”
“Sigh! What’s the use of having something happen? We’re just middle school students, what can we do?” Han Cheng sighed.
Xi Yang put his hands on his shoulders, “Tell me, maybe I have a way?”
Han Cheng broke free from Xi Yang’s hands and leaned against the tree dejectedly, “My dad gambled on stones last month and lost hundreds of thousands. The shop he originally opened was also mortgaged, and now he still owes loans. My mom is now clamoring for a divorce. By then, I may have to drop out of school!”
Xi Yang heard this and pondered for a moment, stone gambling. This was exactly what he wanted to do, and he was worried about not having a way. This was just right! “This matter is not without a turning point, I may have a way, but can you let your dad take me there this Saturday?”
Han Cheng’s face was full of excitement, then he sighed, “Xi Yang, I appreciate your kindness! But I don’t need it!” Saying that, he turned around and prepared to return to the dormitory.
Xi Yang was immediately anxious when he saw this. He grabbed Han Cheng’s hand, “If you give up without trying, the final outcome will definitely not change. Take a gamble, maybe there will be a turning point!”
Han Cheng shook his head, “No, I don’t want to implicate you!”
Xi Yang patted him on the shoulder and said, “Believe me, since I opened my mouth, I have a certain degree of certainty! Besides, I don’t have much money, I can only try once at most. If I lose, it’s just that little bit of money, it doesn’t matter!”
Han Cheng frowned and said, “Alright!”
Xi Yang smiled, “That’s good, I’ll come find you on Saturday!”
Han Cheng said, “The place for stone gambling is in the east of the county town, wait for me there on Saturday!”
“Okay, I’ll see you there!”
Han Cheng nodded and returned to the room.
Looking at his back, Xi Yang was quite excited. He was worried about not having money to eat, but now he finally found an opportunity. Stone gambling was indeed very risky, but it was not difficult for Xi Yang. The main reason was that he had used his Divine Sense to investigate Han Cheng and found that the jadeite jade he was wearing around his neck exuded a faint Spiritual Energy. In this way, stone gambling was not risky at all for Xi Yang.
As the lights-out bell rang, Xi Yang returned to the room. After waiting for a while, the teacher on duty finished checking the room, and Xi Yang prepared to go out. Now there was only a bare board left on his bed, and there was no way to sleep on it. Xi Yang planned to cultivate on the small mountain outside the school for one night.
He pushed the door and walked out. But he saw Zeng Xing and Xu Jia leading a group of people surrounding Xi Yang.
Zeng Xing said with a sneer, “Xi Yang, let’s talk for a moment!”
Xi Yang glanced at him, how could he not understand what these people wanted to do? He said lightly, “Sure, there are no cameras outside the toilet, let’s go there and talk!” Saying that, he quickly went up to the second floor and somersaulted out.
The first floor of the dormitory was surrounded by iron railings, and the dormitory doors would be closed after the lights-out bell rang to prevent students from going out at night.
The few people Zeng Xing brought saw Xi Yang jump out so easily, and their expressions changed slightly.
Zeng Xing saw this and said, “What are you afraid of! My uncle is the chief of the police station, I’ll be responsible if something happens!”
The few people looked at each other and chased out with a stiff upper lip.
Xi Yang waited outside the toilet for a while.
Zeng Xing arrived with his men, and he said with a smug look, “Kid, you’re quite sensible, you didn’t run away, otherwise I’d be sorry to myself if I didn’t send you to the hospital today?”
Xi Yang swept them with a blank expression, thinking to himself, he would beat these guys up today, so that these people wouldn’t pester him endlessly!
As for Zeng Xing, Xi Yang planned to spare his life for the time being. Now was not the time to kill people. Before reaching Qi Refining Stage 4, he was not prepared to get involved in human lives!
Xi Yang said calmly, “If you want to do it, do it as soon as possible, my time is very precious!”
Xu Jia sneered from the side, “Yo, you’re pretty arrogant! I’m going to beat you to your knees and beg for mercy in a while!”
“Stop talking nonsense and do it!” Xi Yang said.
Zeng Xing said with a sinister smile, “You’re cocky enough! Did you break your brain last time you fell! But I don’t care if your brain is broken or not, give me the 1,500 Yuan my uncle gave you, and this matter will be over, otherwise I’ll beat you every time I see you!”
Xi Yang said lightly, “You can try!”
A strong man behind Zeng Xing couldn’t bear it any longer and said angrily, “You dog thing, you’re courting death by being so arrogant!”
Saying that, he quickly punched Xi Yang.
Xi Yang looked at the fist coming at him, dodged to the side, avoiding the man’s attack, then kicked his wrist, and then, turned around and kicked him in the chest, sending him flying out.
Zeng Xing and the others saw this and rushed up one after another.
Xi Yang showed a disdainful expression. How could a group of guys who had not experienced the baptism of slaughter want to fight with himself, an Immortal who had experienced hundreds of battles? What was the difference between that and courting death!
In a short while, these people were knocked to the ground by Xi Yang, wailing endlessly.
Xu Jia, who was on the side, saw this and took out a small knife and stabbed at Xi Yang.
Xi Yang smiled calmly, waved his hand to knock down his small knife, and slapped him to the ground, unconscious! Then he walked towards Zeng Xing with a smile on his face.
Zeng Xing looked at Xi Yang walking towards him with a smile, his face turned pale with fright, his legs trembled, and he begged, “Xi Yang, Brother Xi, I was wrong, please let me go!”
Xi Yang quickly stepped forward and slapped him in the face, asking, “What did you say?”
Zeng Xing, who was slapped silly, covered his face and said, “Brother Xi, please let me go!”
Xi Yang ignored him and slapped him in the face one after another, turning him into a pig’s head.
Then he picked him up, “I hope there won’t be a next time!” After saying that, Xi Yang clapped his hands, jumped onto the wall outside the school, and disappeared into the night.
The few people who were beaten silly came to Zeng Xing and asked, “Brother Zeng, what should we do?”
Zeng Xing covered his swollen pig-headed cheeks and looked at the direction Xi Yang left with resentment, “We are not his opponents, let’s go back to the room first, I’ll let Fei Ge take action to teach him a lesson on Friday!”
Everyone nodded.
