Jiang Xiu smiled coolly then his gaze fell on Ye Yiliang\'s back as he spoke with a mild tone, "This De… Ye Bing and I are just classmates and nothing more."
"You\'re just overthinking this!"
Ye Yiliang turned back and gave a similar smile, "That\'s best then." He left in large strides after saying that but secretly shook his head. His evaluation of Jiang Xiu had fallen a bit. He was caught with Bingbing red-handed on the bed and was separated from her by them, the elders. If such a man lacked the courage to admit what he\'d done, that meant he had already lost the foundation to achieve success.
He was actually planning to guide Jiang Xiu, make him stay as far away from his daughter as possible. But now, he already held Jiang Xiu in contempt.
A group of men revealed themselves from a hidden location. They appeared solemn and well trained as they tailed behind Ye Yiliang. They were his bodyguards, and each one of them was extraordinary.
From their appearance, they were a notch higher than Tang Zhenshan\'s bodyguards.
Their leader, an old man, gave his piece as he passed by Jiang Xiu, "Brat, the Young Master rarely thinks of guiding someone from the younger generation. Do you still not realize your mistake?"
"What?"
The old man lamented when he saw Jiang Xiu act so ignorant.
"Since you\'ve asked, let me explain it to you."
He sneered at Jiang Xiu, "The Young Master isn\'t unreasonable. As long as you admit your relationship with the Miss, and promise to renounce it. He can grant you a future with just a single word in return. But you\'ve missed this chance due to your ignorance and timidness."
"You could\'ve become a person like the Young Master, but now, you\'ll only end up as someone like me."
He believed that with Ye Yiliang\'s guidance, even if Jiang Xiu isn\'t able to become a formidable person like Ye Yiliang or Tang Zhenshan, he\'d still accomplish himself in life. But now, Jiang Xiu will end up as a thug at most. One was the Master and the other a servant. Even if he were to climb ranks, he\'d only become a top-level servant.
He\'ll be in someone else\'s debt forever!
After explaining it, the old man patted Jiang Xiu\'s shoulders while he passed by him. As if to comfort his ignorance and frustration, as an indication that it was too late. .
He didn\'t even take a look back.
Jiang Xiu blinked, and then replied calmly, "That favor in your eyes is nothing but a joke in my eyes."
"What?"
The old man\'s face turned ice-cold when he heard that, causing him to turn back, "Egotistical, stupid brat!"
He flung his robe\'s sleeve and took his leave.
This old man had already reached the martial arts grandmaster stage, but in Jiang Xiu\'s eyes, it was nothing. Let alone him, in Jiang City, perhaps even in the entire Jiangnan province as well as whole China or even on this planet, just who could contend with Jiang Xiu?
Even if a person possessed power enough to overthrow the heavens when compared to the lifetime Deity Xiu had beheld, they\'d be nothing but dirt on the road.
The old man passed through the river passage and caught up with Ye Yiliang.
Ye Yiliang was gazing at the wetlands water surface which was covered by the mist. Under the dusk, the scenery appeared like a fairyland. He asked, "Old Lin, what were you talking about with that youngster?"
Ye Yiliang was interested to hear it.
"You weren\'t advising him on how to handle me, right?"
A Master and servant rarely joked around like this. It just showed that they considered Jiang Xiu as insignificant.
However, he wasn\'t expecting the old man\'s face to turn gloomy. He replied in a thick and furious tone, "He\'s still a child who doesn\'t know how the world works."
Ye Yiliang felt surprised, "What happened? Did that brat offend you?"
"His ignorance is too ridiculous. He said that the Young Master\'s guidance is worthless, a joke in his eyes."
"What?"
Ye Yiliang couldn\'t believe what he heard.
"Too arrogant!"
This wasn\'t arrogance but more like ignorance, "Let it be, ignore him. Old Lin, we\'ve received information that Lin Zhenbei has returned. It looks like the rumor was true. He indeed returned to take over Jiang City this time."
"He dares to have such an ambition when he\'s nothing."
The old man felt this matter to be very funny.
"I\'ll have to trouble Old Lin again this time."
Old Lin smiled faintly, "Feel relieved, Young Master. Lin Zhenbei can only dance on my palms."
"If Young Master weren\'t too young in those days and didn\'t lack in subordinates, you wouldn\'t have had to find Tang Zhenshan to confront Lin Zhenbei and also surrender this Jiang City to him readily. Otherwise, you\'d be ruling over Jiang City by now."
Ye Yiliang said, "It was also a blessing in disguise. If I weren\'t forced to leave home then, my grandfather wouldn\'t have asked Old Lin to accompany me. It\'s no harm. Though delayed by 10 years, it isn\'t too late."
Old Lin could feel Ye Yiliang\'s heart steady itself, "However, if Young Master wants to take over Jiang City now, you\'ll have to contend with Tang Zhenshan for it. That old fellow has placed his roots deep into Jiang City these past 10 years. It won\'t be easy to handle him."
Ye Yiliang muttered, "Lin Zhenbei\'s too petty. He didn\'t even go all-out and only chopped one of Tang Zhenshan\'s arms off. It looks like the incident in the past had scared him plenty."
"Only, Tang Zhenshan\'s already 70 now, and he\'s already lost an arm. I\'ve just arrived into my forties. I can simply wait for him to die."
…
Jiang Xiu entered the villa. It was arranged with ancient looking objects, making it look quite elegant. It was evident that Tang Zhenshan had arranged this villa with meticulous care as he was planning to use it when he retired.
After living a life of glory, one indeed desires to enjoy life after growing old.
His gaze cruised past the villa. After calculating the Feng Shui directions, he chose a master room to live in and prepared to cultivate. At this moment, he received a message on his cell phone.
Taking a look at it, it seemed to be from Ye Bing.
Ye Bing: Jiang Xiu, you scoundrel. I was punished by my mom because of you.
Jiang Xiu: How\'s that related to this Deity?
Ye Bing: If you hadn\'t come to look for me, my mother wouldn\'t have punished me.
Jiang Xiu: Stop kidding yourself. This Deity\'s new house is over here.
Ye Bing: Your house is here? Stop trying to cheat me! Scoundrel, don\'t appear in front of this lady at school. I\'ll hit you every time you do.
After sending this message, Ye Bing threw her phone on the bed. She was really furious, and for some reason, her cheeks were blushing quite fervently.
Jiang Xiu also placed his phone on the king-sized bed, "Idiot. You want to fight with this Deity? Do you think this Deity is still the same as before, without any magic force?"
"This Deity has already reached the Awakening Stage\'s 2nd Mythical Realm. Even Grandmasters aren\'t my opponent, let alone you this little silly girl. You speak such conceited nonsense that you\'ll hit me every time I appear in front of you? If you had said these words on the Immortal Martial Continent towards the Sect Master of the Heaven Treading Sect, that\'d be equivalent to a mortal crime."
"Hmph! Stinky girl!"
He grunted and then sat cross-legged to start cultivating.
There was still some energy left from the spectral energy he had gained before. This energy was quite precious to him as the spiritual force on Earth had depleted. He naturally wanted to absorb all of it.
It was just like how a person who had eaten luxury foods would have to lick the bowl clean when it was the time of famine.
Although it sounded wretched, Deity Xiu was helpless as well.
The Divinity Cultivation Art he was cultivating was a very tyrannical cultivation art. It absorbed the outside world\'s forces into the body and allowed a person to increase their cultivation quickly. Therefore, their cultivation levels were a bit unstable. In case a problem occurs while cultivating or if they sustained injuries, it\'d be easy for that person\'s cultivation to fall.
Due to this reason that although the Divine race was dominant at the Immortal Martial Continent, in case they got seriously hurt, they\'d take a longer time to recover than others. However, it was possible to complement this defect by purifying the energy and consolidating the cultivation. Jiang Xiu possessed many arts to do that in his mind.
"Finally."
"Hmm?"
His eyes opened all of a sudden. He had hardly begun to purify his magic force when he felt a mysterious energy fluctuation within the house. He immediately got down the bed and narrowed his eyes, trying to find the source of that energy.
He was very excited as an energy entity was equivalent to a heavenly treasure towards his Divinity Cultivation.
After passing through the corridors in the house, he appeared in front of a wooden door. He pushed it open and discovered an ancient tea room inside. A Shrine was set up in the tea room. There was no incense burning in front of the Shrine, and the energy wasn\'t coming from it. It was instead coming from a mask set up above the Shrine.
"Hmm?"
Jiang Xiu took the mask down. The mask was similar to those terracotta warriors around the Sichuan region. It had enormous eyes as well as a giant mouth, making it appear somewhat malevolent. It was a crude piece of work and even had rust on it.
"This is…"
Jiang Xiu was quite shocked.
"This is Divine Force…"
