Chapter 60: Chapter 60: Whether to Rejuvenate the Heavenly Secrets

After Xiao Zheng and his party had left, everyone at the venue finally came to their senses.

The man in the suit who had previously made fun of Xiao Zheng, as well as all the other guests, now regretted their actions to death.

Such a great opportunity had just slipped by; if they had fawned over Xiao Zheng, the benefits would have been unimaginable for them!!!

And just like that, this great opportunity was missed...

"Damn it, it’s all your fault! You dumbass, don’t come to me ever again!"

A young scion turned and cursed the man in the suit.

This man in the suit was the very person Mu Yiqing had rejected earlier. It was because of him that many had missed the chance to butter up Xiao Zheng.

"I..." The man in the suit was on the verge of tears.

After Xiao Zheng had left, Luo Yusheng, who was present at the scene, said indifferently to Yun Tianlong, his top bodyguard and martial artist, "Make it clean."

Having said that, he followed in Xiao Zheng’s footsteps and left.

Yun Tianlong nodded, his gaze falling on Nan Mingzhao, lying on the ground like a dead dog.

......

Once they were out of the venue, Mu Yiqing kept her head down, silent, while Mu Sihai behind her couldn’t stop grinning.

He loved wealth and even more, he loved power.

The strength that Xiao Zheng had just displayed was obvious to him.

Being able to get Luo Sheng Sect’s Luo Yusheng to show up personally and address Xiao Zheng with such respect, he was no fool.

He told himself that he must find a way to sound out Xiao Zheng, preferably to make him his son-in-law.

"By the way, Xiao Zheng, do you happen to have a girlfriend?"

After walking a short distance, Mu Sihai suddenly asked.

"Uh..." Xiao Zheng was startled and laughed awkwardly.

"Haha, if you don’t have a girlfriend, what do you think of my Yiqing? I think you two are quite a match."

"Dad, what nonsense are you saying!"

Mu Yiqing’s face flushed pink upon hearing this, and she hung her head even lower.

"Haha, so shy, there’s nothing to be shy about. It’s time for men to marry and women to wed. Moreover, if Xiao Zheng doesn’t have a girlfriend, you two could certainly consider each other. You’re not bad looking, you have the figure and the looks.

And Xiao Zheng isn’t half bad himself. Matched with you, he’s more than sufficient!"

The more Mu Sihai looked at Xiao Zheng, the more pleased he felt, thinking Xiao Zheng was just right.

It even seemed that if Xiao Zheng were to fart at that moment, he would probably find it fragrant.

"Dad, can’t you just..."

At this point, Mu Xinqing was too shy to continue.

Seeing her bashful demeanor, Xiao Zheng also smiled.

"Xiao Zheng, she’s my only daughter, and if you two really can come together, that would be the best. If you already have a girlfriend, I won’t insist. As a father, all I wish for is that she can live well and happily."

At that moment, Mu Sihai seemed to age several years all at once.

Through the trouble caused by that bitch Zhang Xueyi, he had come to understand that family is what matters most.

Money and power are but passing clouds.

"Hmm, Uncle Mu, I understand what you mean," Xiao Zheng smiled.

"Alright, then you two talk; I’ll head back first."

"Dad, I’ll go back with you," said Yiqing.

The events of the day had dealt Mu Sihai a heavy blow, and Mu Yiqing felt it was necessary to go back with him.

"But you and Xiao..."

"Uncle Mu, let Yiqing go back with you. I’m fine," Xiao Zheng said with a smile.

Now was a time for their father-daughter, and it wasn’t his place to interject or say anything further.

Because he had more important matters to attend to that evening...

After taking leave from Mu Yiqing, it was already half-past eleven at night.

In an underground basement in Zhonghai City, the dazzling black lights from dozens of black SUVs illuminated the area as if it were daylight.

The basement was dark and damp, crawling with numerous reptiles.

Spider webs, earth snakes, sewage... all mixed together, emitting a pungent stench.

Yet at this moment, the basement was filled with dozens of stern men clad in black, standing firm.

Each of them stood ramrod straight as if they were spears standing on end.

They added an eerie and oppressive air to the already gloomy basement.

"Brother Xiao, how should we deal with them?"

In the car, Xiao Zheng lay lazily on the seat, responding to Luo Yusheng’s inquiry with merely a casual wave of his hand.

Clasping a cheap cigarette between his lips, he took his time inhaling deeply.

"No, please don’t kill me! Don’t kill me!"

Nan Mingzhao and his men were already dead.

And the several men now kneeling on the ground were Nan Mingzhao’s closest associates.

That evening, after Nan Mingzhao had been caught, these men had begun to prepare to confront Xiao Zheng, but fortunately, Luo Yusheng had caught wind of it and promptly apprehended them.

This had prevented a horrific assassination.

"Remember, in your next life, follow the boss more closely."

Bang, bang, bang...

As the gunshot rang out, several bodies fell to the ground...

It was only after a while that Xiao Zheng finally hopped out of the car.

Luo Yusheng had waited by his side, not leaving for a single moment.

"Brother Xiao, don’t you plan to lead us in reviving the Tianji Sect now that you’re back?"

Luo Yusheng eyed him nervously.

They had talked after the last time he had met with Xiao Zheng.

Back then, Luo Yusheng had suggested that Xiao Zheng revive the Tianji Sect.

But Xiao Zheng had been evasive and never directly answered him.

And how could Luo Yusheng truly comprehend Xiao Zheng’s thoughts?

"Do you really want to revive the Tianji Sect?"

Xiao Zheng looked at him with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile; in the darkness of the basement, his eyes sparkled with an uncanny light.

"I, Luo Yusheng, swear to serve the Sect Leader unto death!"

Luo Yusheng declared loudly, his tone resolute.

"Brother Xiao, I followed you when you were conquering the world. Later, when you left, the Tianji Sect fell apart and people’s hearts were scattered. Establishing the Luo Sheng Sect was a reluctant move, all in the hope that one day, you would return and lead us to conquer the Jianghu again, and recreate the myth of the Tianji Sect!"

Luo Yusheng’s thoughts were straightforward—he wanted to preserve his strength for the return of the king, to unify the Tianji once more.

However, Xiao Zheng just shook his head and chuckled bitterly, stepping forward he patted Luo Yusheng on the shoulder and said, "Time will wash away everything. Just because you follow me doesn’t mean others would be willing to follow me as well.

This time around, I don’t plan on reviving the Tianji Sect; I just want to live a simple life."

"But..." Luo Yusheng stared at him blankly.

"No buts. I can help you unify Zhonghai, but I won’t take the position of Sect Leader again."

Without having experienced the hail of bullets, Luo Yusheng couldn’t understand Xiao Zheng.

Because over these years, what he had encountered and witnessed outside was far more dangerous and terrifying than what one could experience in little Zhonghai City.

In his eyes, all of this was nothing.

"Brother Xiao, we’ve all been waiting for you to come back!"

Luo Yusheng still wanted to persuade him.

Xiao Zheng hit him playfully and scolded with a smile, "Scram, Laozi is a law-abiding citizen; don’t drag me down to your level, I have no interest in joining any underground forces."

Luo Yusheng: "..."

Law-abiding citizen?

Nima, that monstrous youth who had shocked the whole of Zhonghai City six years ago actually had the audacity to claim he was a law-abiding citizen?

This, this is absolutely against all reason!
