Chapter 116: Dumb but strong

“En?”

Chen Shengyao sighed with his brow furrowed.

Were the servants so bold to not reply to his questions?

Suddenly,

Li Cong showed signs of awakening. He slowly opened his eyes.

“Where am I?”

He was a little stunned, his brain still buzzing from being hit.

Instantly. He recalled.

He was at Martial Path Mountain and was beaten by that so-called new Sect Leader.

This place wasn’t Martial Path Mountain. A person appeared in front of him and he looked carefully and cried out, “Young Master save me, that Martial Path Mountain is so arrogant. I listened to your instructions to find Zhang Tianshan but who knew that he didn’t care about me? That new Sect Leader even dared to hit me.”

“Aiya, my face still hurts. My brain is still buzzing. This is bad, my brain is damaged.”

“Young Master, you have to seek justice for me.”

Li Cong was the Chen Family Teacher, Martial Path Grade Six, who knew that he was weak.

Being beaten up simply like that and then he came, crying out for help.

Chen Shengyao squinted, “Zhang Tianshan doesn’t have the courage. It is that new Sect Leader, he seems to have some skill to actually work with Huang Boren. Your cultivation is Grade Six but you still can’t beat that new Sect Leader?”

Li Cong said unhappily, “Young Master, how can that be? It’s just that I didn’t expect he would sneak an attack and disregard the Chen Family. I didn’t notice and he attacked. You can ask them, they all saw it.”

The servants nodded their heads.

“Young Master, what Teacher Li said is true.”

“That fellow sneak attacked.”

“With Teacher Li’s cultivation how could he lose, it was the sneak attack.”

What else could they say?

They naturally had to help Teacher Li.

If not he would find trouble with them.

Li Cong was furious.

Bastard.

To actually dare to sneak attack him.

With my Martial Path Grade Six cultivation, I will beat you until your shit comes out.

Chen Shengyao was in deep thought.

He didn’t expect that Martial Path Mountain would have such a change.

After learning that Zhang Tianshan reopened Martial Path Mountain and even worked with Huang Boren, he was naturally unhappy so he sent Li Cong to cause some trouble.

Who knew that Li Cong would be beaten up.

To him, Zhang Tianshan didn’t have the balls.

So it was definitely the new Sect Leader.

Interesting.

Really interesting.

It seemed like when he had the chance, he should meet this new Sect Leader to see what was going on with him.

For him to come to Jiang City and behave so arrogantly.

Even a Dragon had to coil up for him.

As expected from a bandit aristocratic family, all the children and grandchildren had that confidence.

Martial Path Mountain.

Lin Fan obtained 688 rage points.

It was obvious that the fellow was furious when he woke up and provided him with a thread of rage points.

However, it was too little and he didn’t care about it.

However, it was okay, take things slow, the future was still long.

At this moment he noticed that Yuan Tianchu and Liang Yongqi were both sitting there and chatting leisurely, looking like they didn’t plan to help at all.

This made him feel a little annoyed.

They couldn’t waste manpower.

Just use it.

“What are you two doing? If you are free then see what those people are doing. Since you are staying in Martial Path Mountain, I can’t provide for you for nothing, you all have to do work.” Lin Fan said.

Yuan Tianchu was silent for a long while and didn’t argue with Lin Fan.

He knew how terrifying Lin Fan was.

If he was not careful he could fall into his trap.

He would just agree with whatever was said.

Out of the entire Martial Path Mountain, nearly everyone was scheming. Of course, Liang Yongqi was not, he was just foolish and deserved to be kicked out of the Liang Family.

Liang Yongqi said, “We are all doing things then what are you doing?”

Lin Fan smiled, “Have you ever seen a Sect Leader doing things?”

Damn.

The moment he said that.

Yuan Tianchu and Liang Yongqi felt annoyed.

Why?

Just because he was the Sect Leader, he could do whatever he want and not do anything?

However they knew that it was the case.

He could do whatever he wanted.

Especially Liang Yongqi, he was filled with regret and hate. If he knew that was the case he would have stayed in You City, even if he died he wouldn’t have come out.

However, it was too late.

Since he had come out, what else could he say?

He had no choice.

The two of them could only head to work. There wasn’t much to do, just to monitor and supervise them.

King Wutong City, a quarry.

Zu Xiang’s face was covered with hair and there was dust all over. He had already worked here for many days.

He knew that he was lied to.

Liu Xuan didn’t receive him and just sent him here to dig stone to survive on his own.

In the short few days here, he saw many people die from exhaustion.

He screamed in his heart.

He couldn’t die.

He definitely couldn’t die here.

However, it was just too difficult to leave this place.

The guards were strict here, each place had a guard, obviously to prevent them from running.

At that moment.

The soldiers guarding this area accompanied someone and walked over.

That person also wore armor, his status was much higher than the other soldiers here.

“Find some strong workers.”

He was here to find soldiers, they lacked soldiers and needed new blood.

To recruit from outside was too problematic. They also had to give an allowance. Directly finding from here was really worth it.

They can use them as cannon fodder and not need to pay them at all.

Zu Xiang had cultivation and his ears were sharp. When he heard those words he instantly felt that his hope had come.

He definitely couldn’t stay here.

He had been finding a chance to go out.

Now his chance came.

He didn’t say a word, directly filling the basket with stone such that it was full. Some even dropped out.

This basket was at least 100 kilograms.

Zu Xiang didn’t dare to make it too heavy, if not it wouldn’t be something of just a show of strength, and he obviously cultivated before. How would someone who cultivated come here?

Liu Xuan wanted him to die.

He naturally couldn’t let Liu Xuan know that he could come out from here.

He had to hide.

He carried the basket and purposely walked past the two of them.

As expected.

The armored male raised his hand and pointed at Zu Xiang, “Count him in, he carried so much and should be strong.”

The person that followed looked at Zu Xiang and felt helpless.

Damn!

Why did he carry so much and was even found?

He didn’t hope for anyone to be chosen. When he became a soldier then there would be no one here, lesser people and no one would complete the mission and they would be punished.

What a waste.

His status surpassed his, moreover, he was several ranks higher so he had no choice but to agree.

Zu Xiang didn’t show any change in expression.

This was the first step.

He was still very far from his final goal but he knew that as long as he worked hard and bore with it, he wouldn’t fail.

Martial Path Mountain mid waist.

Zhou Zhongmao was like a giant that stood on the steps.

He looked into the distance and didn’t move at all.

Cousin was at Martial Path Mountain so he had to protect his safety.

Martial Path Mountain was good too, there was only one path up. By defending here, everything would be fine.

At that moment, Chen Shengyao came to Martial Path Mountain.

Li Cong was smacked here so Chen Shengyao naturally couldn’t take it.

How arrogant.

Of course.

He came to see what the new Sect Leader of Martial Path Mountain looked like but not to fight.

Very quickly, he bumped into Zhou Zhongmao.

To them, Zhou Zhongmao was blocking the road and was just an eyesore.

Chen Shengyao walked in front of Zhou Zhongmao and teased, “Silly big guy, scram, I want to…”

Pa!

It was like a wind blew across.

The servants that followed opened their eyes and were stunned.

What happened.

Where did the gust of wind come from?

Young Master was just standing there, why did he disappear?

At this moment a servant looked around to search for Young Master. When he saw that he was hanging on a tree not far away, he screamed out, “Young Master…”

Everyone looked out.

Their faces all turned white from fear.

How did this happen.

How did Young Master end up there?

No one dared to loiter and just ran to save their Young Master. At the same time, some of the servants turned around and scolded.

“You are finished. Do you know who he is? Your Martial Path Mountain is finished.”

They spent much energy to finally save Young Master.

However he was totally unconscious, his limbs hung limp and he foamed from the mouth. Who knew if he was dead or not?

“Dumb.” Zhou Zhongmao took just one look and didn’t become a bother anymore.

He stood there like a statue and protected Martial Path Mountain.

Protecting the cousin in his heart.

Jiang City.

“Move aside… Move aside.”

The servants carried Chen Shengyao and ran.

The surrounding commoners were stunned.

What was going on today?

First, was Li Cong being carried back by servants and not long later Young Master Chen too?

What kind of ferocious beast was there to actually be so terrifying?

Very quickly.

Rumors spread in the city,

That the Chen Family Young Master was frightened by a wild beast.

When everyone heard that, they were all shocked.

Was that true?

Chen Family Young Master Chen Shengyao fainted after being frightened by a wild beast, that didn’t sound too possible right?

Closely after,

The rumors got more and more exaggerated

What Chen Family Young Master was frightened by wild wolves.

Then some said that Chen Family Young Master faced karma and bird shit fell on his head which caused him to faint.

People who heard that,

All thought that was nonsense,

The rumors got worse and worse.

Couldn’t they have some rumor spreading skills?

We all knew that it was rumors.

But could they spread with some level of trustworthiness as such that people could have fun talking about it?

What was it with bird shit?

Whoever believed that had brain problems.

However, there were really people who believed in them. Those people silly people in the city after learning that bird shit would cause people to faint, all hid from birds, afraid that they would faint from the bird shit.

Chen Manor.

The doctor was so anxious his head was covered in sweat from all his work.

This was the Chen Family Young Master, if something happened to him, they would all be out of luck.

He tried all sorts of acupuncture but they were unable to make him wake up.

In the end, they invited an old doctor from the city, who had teeth that were all white. He smoked for at least dozens of years and loved to eat garlic. The smell from his mouth was so good, so fragrant.

The doctor moved his hands around and got close to Chen Shengyao. He was old and couldn’t see clearly so he had to get close.

As he looked he opened his mouth.

A terrible scent spread out.

Suddenly…

Chen Shengyao’s nose moved, that penetrative smell was just too strong.

“Ah!”

He woke up.

He really woke up.

The doctors around were all shocked and then said, “God, Doctor An is so amazing.”

The doctor was a little stunned too.

What was going on?

He didn’t diagnose any illness, so why did he wake up? However, upon hearing the praises,

He nodded his head in silence.

Since they were praising him then he would just accept it.
