Cultivation by Trial and Error
Chapter 94 - 94 94 Roller Rink

94: Chapter 94 Roller Rink 94: Chapter 94 Roller Rink As his thoughts became clear and all confusion dissipated, Chen Hai, back in his own home in Chenjiaping, found that even his cultivation speed seemed to have greatly improved.

He stayed at home for a week.

His father, Chen Zhonghua’s injuries, had largely healed.

The TV and other belongings that had been taken away by Chen Erleng and his group were finally brought back home yesterday, after Jiang Meixian and Chen Zhonghua went to the village office to pay off the debt.

In this matter, Chen Erleng did not make things difficult for them.

However, the TV placed in the village office was likely used often by others.

This TV, bought not long ago and left at the village office for just over ten days, now bore at least a dozen scrapes and dings.

Although it pained Chen Zhonghua and Jiang Meixian to see, there was nothing they could do; after all, when it came to such matters, they couldn’t even find a place to argue their case.

“Dad, Mom, I have things to do and will be away for a few days!”

Early in the morning, Chen Hai packed a set of clean clothes into a plastic bag and bid farewell to his parents.

“Hmm!

Hai, you’re grown up now, you should know what you should and shouldn’t do.”

“We are relieved that you know to find work and make money, but remember, never stray onto the crooked path.”

“When you see people fighting or causing trouble on the street, stay away and don’t get involved.”

…

Upon hearing that Chen Hai was leaving home, his mother, Jiang Meixian, did not stop him but did not forget to repeatedly admonish him with earnest advice.

Since being discharged from the hospital, the couple had not even gone into town, staying in the village the entire time.

They clearly remembered how that group had falsely accused Chen Zhonghua of breaking their treasure and brutally beating him, threatening that if they didn’t pay two thousand yuan in compensation, they would beat Chen Zhonghua every time they saw him.

Chen Zhonghua and Jiang Meixian were honest people, and feeling powerless and without influence at home, they avoided going into town out of fear that the group would continue to target Chen Zhonghua.

Chen Hai understood some things, but did not share the full truth with his parents.

After all, his father had just recovered from his injuries; wouldn’t it be better to simply rest quietly at home?

He certainly didn’t need to push a handcart to the town to sell labor urgently.

The reason he was preparing to leave was straightforward: he was out of money.

After paying the one thousand yuan for his father’s hospital fees, all he had left was about two to three hundred yuan.

Having spent a good amount during his stay in town recently, all the money he had now totaled only around fifty-sixty yuan.

Of course, the money he had left with his parents was not included in this total.

Capable of working and not without means to earn money, Chen Hai would not even think of asking his parents for money unless it was absolutely necessary.

Heeding his parents’ many worries and warnings, Chen Hai took the plastic bag with his clothes and headed towards the town.

“Have you heard?

The Liu Family is finished!”

“Liu Dafa was killed on the spot, and the vile acts of Liu Dafu were all reported in the newspapers; he’s bound for the death penalty, there’s no escaping it!”

“That’s nothing, I got news from a relative in the county, Liu Dagui, not knowing what got into him, killed his wife and son then set fire to the house, burning himself to death inside.”

…

Compared to the countryside below, the people in town were undoubtedly more well-informed.

Upon arriving in town, wherever Chen Hai went, almost everyone was discussing the incident.

The outcome for the Liu brothers was not beyond his expectations.

The art of divination is profound and extensive.

If his skills had been sufficient, even without leaving his home, he could have foretold the affairs of the world.

Of course, his current expertise was still somewhat lacking.

Through divination, the outcomes he foresaw were somewhat unclear and not set in stone.

The reason he could divine the Liu brothers’ situation so clearly was the tuft of white hair that had appeared on his forehead, a price paid.

Of course, the strands of white hair were just an outward sign, what he had actually expended, was five years of his life span.

However, this was something he understood clearly himself; there was certainly no need to inform others.

In his opinion, those five years of life span had been well spent.

Without that divination, he had no way to arrange the complete annihilation of the Liu Family so cleanly.

Inside an arcade, Chen Hai found Zhang Yong.

That guy was hopelessly addicted to gaming; as long as he had some free time, he’d basically stay in the arcade.

Led by Zhang Yong, the two went to a newly opened roller skating rink in town.

“Li Ying, this place…” After scanning the area for a while, soon, Li Ying’s graceful figure came into their view.

The girl really surprised him; her roller skating skills truly amounted to a divine transformation.

Gliding forward, gliding backward, the spins she performed were like a butterfly dancing in the air, dazzling to the onlookers.

“This place, it’s owned by Li Ying’s family, she’s basically been here most of the time!”

After calling over to Li Ying, while she hadn’t yet come over, Zhang Yong leaned into Chen Hai’s ear and spoke.

“No wonder she’s so skilled!” Realizing the truth, Chen Hai nodded in response.

The night he returned from Shuang State, he had already known that Li Ying was a hidden heiress, so it wasn’t surprising to him that her family could open a skating rink.

“Chen Hai, you’re such a busy man, how come you’re over here today?”

“A few days ago, when I was having my college admission celebration, I wanted to invite you, but I couldn’t find you at all!”

As soon as she saw Chen Hai, Li Ying pouted and began to complain.

“Li Ying, did you receive your admission notice?

Which university did you get into?” Stunned for a moment, Chen Hai chuckled awkwardly and quickly asked.

“Yuedong, Zhongshan University!” Li Ying responded, still pouting.

“To have gotten into that university, Li Ying, you’re amazing!” Chen Hai complimented her, giving her a thumbs-up.

He couldn’t dwell on his own college entrance examination scores anymore; after all, the entire Liu Family had perished.

When Liu Dagui burned down the house, the admission notice probably burned up as well.

At this time, those on high were likely busy trying to cover up the issue, and a rural kid’s problems were probably the last of their concerns.

Just on his way here, he had heard people talk about the county preparing to hold a posthumous critique meeting for Liu Dagui.

Whether or not he went to college, he, himself, didn’t care.

He knew exactly how his exam scores had come about.

Honestly, if he went to a university with those scores, it would feel awkward for him too.

But his parents had always hoped for him to go to college.

For that reason, hearing that Li Ying was going to Zhongshan University in Yuedong, he did feel a bit bitter inside.

“Perhaps, I could seek help from Brother Hou Donggui.”

“I don’t have connections or networks, but Brother Hou does!”

“With his status and position, the issue with the admission notice, which I have no way of sorting out myself, might just be a few words’ work for him!”

Chen Hai thought to himself, if truth be told, he and Hou Donggui had only met once.

Given the mess with the Liu Family, even asking for Hou Donggui’s help didn’t seem quite right.

But now, with the Liu Family entirely deceased, asking Hou Donggui to lend a hand with the admission notice should still be manageable.

Hou Donggui might have already left Liuyuan County, but on the business card he left with Chen Hai, there were contact details.

“First things first, afterwards, I’ll page Brother Hou.”

Setting this thought aside for the moment, Chen Hai’s gaze fell back onto Li Ying.
