Chapter 122: You Have Such a Hobby
“Huff...” Finally venting his anger, Jiang Che threw Yang Wei to the ground.
“Thank you, Jiang Che, for subduing this criminal for me.” Gu Dezheng approached Jiang Che, expressing his gratitude with sincerity.
“It’s my duty, especially since I am Yunqi’s good friend,” Jiang Che replied with a smile, giving ample face to the old man.
Gu Dezheng gave Jiang Che an acknowledging look but didn’t say much more, apparently realizing the complex nature of Jiang Che’s relationship with his daughter.
“Can you solve my family’s Feng Shui issue?” Gu Yunqi curiously asked Jiang Che, having heard Yang Wei’s earlier words and noticing her own recent string of bad luck.
“Of course, I can. But as you know, I don’t help people for free.” Jiang Che raised his eyebrows and whispered in Gu Yunqi’s ear. Solving a small Triple Wealth Accumulating Evil Formation was a trivial task for him.
“Given our relationship, what more do you want?” Gu Yunqi rolled her eyes, slightly exasperated. She had realized that Jiang Che was the type to push his luck.Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com
“What relationship?”
“You... Hmph, just say whether you’ll help or not.”
“I’ll help, but you need to fulfill a small wish of mine.”
“Next time, wear black silk stockings, and then...”
“You... you have such a taste?” Gu Yunqi blushed at Jiang Che’s request, surprised by his particular interest. It was a bit embarrassing to talk about.
“Hehe, just say whether you agree or not.” Jiang Che chuckled, looking expectantly at Gu Yunqi.
“Of course, I’ll agree. After all, you’re my dear brother~” Gu Yunqi smiled seductively, agreeing to Jiang Che’s unreasonable request. She was used to his antics by now and didn’t see much harm in one more time.
Accustomed to such behavior, Gu Yunqi no longer resisted. Jiang Che, meanwhile, couldn’t help but look forward to it, especially recalling Lin Xiyan’s similar promise.
When Yang Wei regained consciousness, it was already dark. Wincing in pain, he vividly recalled the day’s events.
His face turned ashen with anger and confusion over the bizarre occurrences. Despite the pain, he got up and limped towards the city center. Unable to face the Gu family after what happened, he left.
“Jiang Che, I won’t let you get away with this!” Yang Wei seethed with rage, remembering the humiliating beating he received from Jiang Che.
He was a Transformation stage master and a reputed young Taoist, yet he had been beaten to a pulp on his first day after descending the mountain!
...
“Ding, Yang Wei develops severe self-doubt, -1000 luck, rewarded with 2000 villain points.”
While Jiang Che was treating the young maid Ah Qing for her cold ailment, he was startled by the system’s notification. Yang Wei doubting himself? Could it be because of today’s incidents?
“People sit at home, and fortune comes from the sky,” Jiang Che thought amusedly.
“Young Master, you...” Ah Qing slowly opened her eyes, looking puzzled at Jiang Che who had abruptly stopped the treatment.
“Let’s call it a day for the treatment. You should get some sleep early,” Jiang Che said with a smile, releasing Ah Qing’s delicate feet wrapped in white silk, and stood up to leave.
Now with 12,000 villain points, Jiang Che considered it was time for an upgrade.
“System, upgrade the ‘Mysterious Heavenly Scripture.” In the garden, Jiang Che sat cross-legged in a pavilion, communicating with the system in his mind.
“Ding, deducting 10,000 villaon points, upgrading Mysterious Heavenly Scripture in progress...”
The upgrade took about three hours. When Jiang Che opened his eyes again, the moon was high in the sky.
He exhaled a breath of turbid air, feeling the continuous stream of internal Qi in his body, and nodded in satisfaction. He had reached the late stage of Transformation stage – a step up in the martial path.
“If I remember correctly, Yang Wei’s master is at the peak of Transformation,” Jiang Che pondered. He knew he couldn’t stop undermining Yang Wei; he needed to reach the peak before Yang Wei’s master descended the mountain to stand a chance against him.
After adjusting the internal energy in his body, Jiang Che stood up and walked towards the living room. The night was still young, and he felt he should find something else to do.
