Since it’s certain I can’t win, Chu Huaixu decisively gave up.
He walked up to Liu Chenggong and raised his hands.
"Junior Brother Chu, what is this for?" Liu Chenggong asked.
"Hmm? Aren’t you going to tie up?"
I know the routine well! Back at Spring and Autumn Mountain, I was familiar with it. The Four Great Sects, they’re more or less the sa!
Liu Chenggong looked at this exceptionally handso young man in front of him, a sneer appearing on his face.
"No need, just soone at the Acupoint Opening Stage, do you think you have the ability to resist?"
"With you surrendering now, it actually makes it less fun for us."
"If you tried to escape midway, it might be sowhat interesting."
He looked at Chu Huaixu with an amused smile, as if he were looking at a plaything in his palm.
Facing his gaze, Chu Huaixu slowly lowered his raised hands.
"What’s your relationship with Liu Chengqi?" he asked directly.
Liu Chenggong laughed: "You’re quite bold!"
He glanced up and down at this fox-faced guy, and scoffed, "But still, it makes sense. Without a bit of gall, you wouldn’t dare to lay hands on Chengqi."
As the deputy leader of the dicine Mountain Law Enforcent Team, he was certainly confident, and more so since this was no secret in the Outer Sect, he said: "Liu Chengqi is my cousin."
"Oh right, you must be new, huh? I forgot to tell you, his dad is one of the nine Stewards of the Outer Sect."
...
...
A gentle breeze blew past, lifting a few strands of Chu Huaixu’s jet-black hair.
Liu Chenggong and others expected to see him frightened to his wit’s end, but instead, his expression remained unchanged.
"I see." Chu Huaixu said plainly.
This made the deputy leader of the Law Enforcent Team quite displeased.
He even began to doubt whether this person had any comprehension of human relationships.
The nine Stewards are the highest authorities of the Outer Sect.
Do you know how serious the consequences are for beating up soone’s only son like that?
"What do you understand?" Liu Chenggong’s face darkened.
Chu Huaixu smiled and replied: "I understand now why so many Senior Brothers recomnded going to him for martial arts training."
"The son of a Steward, cousin to the deputy leader of the Law Enforcent Team, no wonder."
At this, Liu Chenggong rely smiled and said nothing.
To him, it was perfectly normal for others to please him, or that esteed uncle, a Steward.
Just like he had opened a restaurant on dicine Mountain, business was booming.
But did the people who ca to dine or buy wine truly care about the taste of this place?
Probably not.
At this mont, Liu Chenggong glanced around and asked: "That Junior Sister nad Han Shuangjiang, is she not ho?"
"Mm, she didn’t co back with ." Chu Huaixu said.
"This Junior Sister... must be quite beautiful, right?" Liu Chenggong’s face showed a smile that every man understood.
"Yes, she’s stunningly beautiful." Chu Huaixu replied.
"Your relationship with her is unusual?" Liu Chenggong asked again.
"Um... you could say it’s unusual." he said.
"No wonder, my cousin, he particularly likes this kind of style." Liu Chenggong raised a hand and lightly patted Chu Huaixu’s shoulder, not sure if it was comfort or a jab: "No choice, brother."
"He’s certainly got the style of Wei Wu, he’s Cao The Thief." Chu Huaixu spoke words they couldn’t understand.
Good for you, Liu Chengqi, looking like a proper gentleman but actually likes stealing what others love, really enjoy this kind of thing!
No wonder he couldn’t resist wanting to touch in front of .
As for the son of a steward teaching Mortal Martial Arts, Chu Huaixu didn’t find it strange.
He had so understanding of what those second-generation ones are like.
On Earth, there were those who drove luxury cars to pick up rides on DiDi, only taking orders from female passengers.
And after skiing beca suddenly popular, there were those skilled in it who went to beco ski instructors.
Is it for that little bit of money?
It’s for the fun, the thrill of chasing romance.
They disdained the kind of overt evil deeds of bullying n and won as seen in TV dramas.
They preferred to unleash their charm, demonstrate their abilities and tricks, using well-tried routines to attract won, letting them willingly co closer.
These people could never lack won from birth.
What ordinary people were amazed by in terms of price and unattainable enclaves, to them, were just small money, not fun enough, lacking a bit of thrill.
They also needed psychological achievent!
They needed these accomplishnts to boast about their charisma!
So people’s hard work to support their families was just a pasti they could choose to do or not do on a whim.
While learning that unremberable ’Gibberish Eight Trigrams Palm’, watching Liu Chengqi in his fine robes, with that deanor and attitude, Chu Huaixu actually had so faint guesses.
"I just didn’t expect this Liu Chengqi to play so wildly, misunderstanding my relationship with the Little Housekeeper, and plotting to both earn 10 taels of silver from and treat like a dog."
"Deep down, he just doesn’t see as a human being." Chu Huaixu chuckled.
But he was well aware that Liu Chengqi absolutely succeeded, and definitely more than once! Who knows, he might even have bragged about it...
Interestingly, the Liu Chenggong in front of him also didn’t seem to see Chu Huaixu as a person.
He lightly patted Chu Huaixu on the shoulder and said, "Ever since Chengqi’s Spiritual Embryo was damaged, his mood has been really bad. He can only find a bit of spice in life, so, Junior Brother Chu, please understand."
Liu Chenggong was truly too bored, assuming that anyone daring enough to injure his cousin would definitely be easy to provoke, thus providing him so amusent.
Who would have thought that this young man with a slightly foxy face in front of him would grin and say:
"Definitely."
...
...
Outside the bamboo house, Liu Chenggong couldn’t be bothered to waste words with Chu Huaixu any longer.
His expression turned grim as he instructed his two subordinates, "You two, go catch that Junior Sister Han!"
"Yes," the seemingly naless duo replied.
"Then, let’s go, Junior Brother Chu." Liu Chenggong’s eyes were dark.
"Please lead the way, Senior Brother Liu." Chu Huaixu made a gesture of invitation.
He was very much the type who liked to say polite words first, before speaking disrespectfully or even acting disrespectfully.
When he severely injured Liu Chengqi, he also kept calling him Senior Brother Liu.
Before becoming a playmate, he had dated twice, one of which was an underground relationship with a university counselor. Each ti he got passionate, he would call out "teacher", and occasionally even make the teacher cry.
In short, he was full marks on politeness!
Yet Liu Chenggong’s face grew even darker, he snorted coldly, applied a Divine Movent Talisman on himself, and said, "My cousin must be getting impatient, we need to hurry."
With that, he grabbed Chu Huaixu, lightly tapped his feet, and leaped onto the treetops, swiftly maneuvering between ancient trees.
Soon, he brought Chu Huaixu back to the Law Enforcent Hall of dicine Mountain and locked him in the dungeon.
As he had said, Liu Chengqi was indeed impatient and had been waiting in the dungeon for so ti.
Chu Huaixu speculated that he had taken so kind of spiritual dicine, so his injuries were healed.
Having a steward father at least, that made so sense.
What surprised him slightly was that in the dungeon, there was also a person with graying hair.
As soon as Liu Chenggong saw him, he respectfully said, "Uncle."
The old man raised his hand upon hearing this, saying, "How many tis have I told you, address by my title outside."
"Yes, Lord Steward." Liu Chenggong, at this mont, seed exceptionally obedient.
The graying-haired old man nodded slightly, sizing up Chu Huaixu, "Are you Chu Huaixu?"
"Yes, disciple greets Steward Liu." Chu Huaixu raised his hand in a salute, still upholding virtue and politeness, all while stalling for ti.
"I’ve heard from Chengqi that you possess only Second Acupoint Cultivation and have just entered the Acupoint Opening Stage. Yet you managed to injure him using the ’Heaven and Earth Infinite Eight Trigrams Palm’ that he taught you?"
Chu Huaixu imdiately raised his eyes, which glead, "That’s right! Has the Steward developed an appreciation for talent?"
While bantering lightly, he also silently noted in his heart: So that’s it’s called ’Heaven and Earth Infinite Eight Trigrams Palm’.
Upon hearing this, Steward Liu’s old face showed surprise for a mont, then instantly darkened further.
It should be ntioned, when the three Liu family mbers’ faces darken, they all look the sa!
The old man let out a cold snort, then flicked his fingers, and a shallow wound appeared on Chu Huaixu’s arm, oozing blood.
Chu Huaixu looked down, surprised, at his arm.
This small wound didn’t bother him; he was only concerned about his robe being torn, wondering if the Little Housekeeper could nd it.
With a slight beckon of his hand, Steward Liu drew a drop of blood to his palm.
"Hmm? A Lower-grade Spiritual Embryo?" he scanned with his Divine Sense.
This type of Spiritual Embryo he had never seen, but its aura was weak, and the grade was evidently very low.
The old man had co in person to see the young man’s potential after hearing his son’s description.
Though he wielded considerable power in the Outer Sect, he was well aware that if it were a god-given talent, he should be cautious.
But this re Lower-grade Spiritual Embryo, compared to my son’s Blazing Fire Spiritual Embryo, was like heaven and earth!
"You think you deserve my appreciation?" The old man looked at Chu Huaixu coldly, his expression indifferent.
Saying this, he was about to turn and leave, telling his son and nephew, "Do as you wish with him."
rely a Registered Disciple, and with a Lower-grade Spiritual Embryo; if he dies, so be it, we can fabricate any reason.
"Lord Steward! Wait!" Chu Huaixu shouted.
The old man turned back skeptically, frowning deeply.
"I know the Outer Sect rules by heart, dare I ask, wasn’t it Senior Brother Liu who made the first move? I was rely defending myself. Which rule did I break!" Chu Huaixu spoke righteously, his words resounding loudly.
The aging father looked at this seemingly untouched by worldly affairs young man and said robustly, "It doesn’t matter who made the first move. You injured my son, that’s breaking the rules! Breaking the rules of , Liu Tianfeng!"
This loud shout carried hidden spiritual power, causing Chu Huaixu’s mind to tremble, imbued with dizziness, his vision almost went black, and he nearly lost his footing, his face turning pale instantly.
From not far away, a robust voice finally rang out at this mont.
"Steward Liu, you have quite the authority!"
