Chapter 196: Chapter 195: Surprise

"Pfft, didn’t you hear what Xiaohan said? Those kids, they’re just a bunch of poor bastards. Hundreds of thousands? They probably can’t even come up with ten thousand."

The woman said disdainfully.

"It’s truly foolish, you think I don’t know they have no money? You think I’m actually counting on getting any money from them? I’m just putting pressure on them to make them understand, we aren’t to be messed with, and besides, their son has also broken the law, they better keep quiet!"

The middle-aged man sneered, looking at the woman’s expression, he didn’t want to say anymore, finding it tasteless, waved his hand, and without waiting for her to speak, he directly changed the subject asking, "Has Xiaohan not come back yet? Has he called to say anything?"

"Big brother just called, said he went out with Young Master Gao, might come back late, Dad, will it be too late tomorrow? What if they spill the beans tonight?"

The young man rubbed his arms, answered the middle-aged man, and simultaneously spoke with a somewhat tense expression.

"Hmph, your reminder is too late!"

The middle-aged man glanced at the young man a tad sympathetically, seemingly surprised that he could utter such words, and there was some admiration, but his face still showed a very unfriendly sneer, "I had already sent someone to inquire about the situation there."

Compared to his older son, he absolutely despised this younger one.

All day long, never doing anything serious, always causing trouble at school, always making him clean up the mess; causing trouble was one thing, his older son wasn’t much better, but he rarely had to worry about the older one who, despite his young age, already had his own style, coldly efficient and careful. Yet, this younger son was nothing but trouble, completely lacking in brains, which pained him the most.

This younger son was also extremely favored by his mother, and he could never discipline him.

"Ring..."

Just then, a sharp ringtone sounded.

The middle-aged man cast a cold glance at the young man and directly took out his phone, seeing the caller ID, his face immediately tightened, hurriedly pressing the answer button.

"What?"

After just one sentence, the middle-aged man’s face changed, and he nearly dropped the phone, barely managing to stay calm, he said, "Yes, I understand, you have to keep a close eye on that kid, tell them, we can give them twenty, no, thirty thousand!"

"Mmh, you know..."

"Mmh, that’s it."

After saying a few lines, the middle-aged man hung up the phone, and just as his gaze had slightly relaxed, it now sharpened again as if about to shoot fire, glaring at the young man, "You’ve done a fine job, now the matter has exploded, one dead, three permanently disabled!"

"Someone died?"

The middle-aged woman and the young man, upon hearing this, their faces changed simultaneously.

Hearing the middle-aged man’s words, as foolish as they were, they understood his meaning; if those kids were all seriously injured, it wouldn’t be too bad, their threat might blow over, but death changed everything. What could be more terrifying for parents who have lost a child?

Even if their family had influence and might, they couldn’t scare them anymore.

"Hmph! Stay at home for the next couple of days, don’t go anywhere and turn off everything like your phone. Do not contact anyone, understand!"

The middle-aged man gauged their expressions and seemed to grasp that they understood his words; they weren’t foolish beyond redemption. His face softened slightly, he huffed coldly, finished speaking, then turned and walked towards the study next door. He needed to ponder more seriously about today’s events and how best to manage the aftermath.

.........

After bidding farewell to Wang Qingqing, Xiao Yi didn’t wait at the bus stop for the bus. Instead, he hailed a cab and got in. The moment he sat in the taxi, his expression turned incredibly gloomy, a fierce killing intent surfacing in his eyes.

Li Family, Li Xiaohan...

I want to see just who it is who has such audacity, such ruthlessness!

A cold sneer surfaced in Xiao Yi’s heart.

"Young man, where to?"

"To Azure Waterfront."

The taxi driver’s words brought Xiao Yi back from his reverie, he replied faintly, then slightly closed his eyes, beginning to rest and recover.

Although he couldn’t engage in Breath Regulation to restore his Cultivation Power while in the taxi, resting his spirit to recover a bit from his excessive spiritual expenditure was possible, especially since the Seven Needles technique he had used earlier drained not only his True Qi but also his vitality.

Once back at Azure Waterfront, Xiao Yi was unusually careless about his appetite for the first time, just grabbing some frozen food from the fridge to roughly fill his stomach, then went straight to his room, drew the curtains, crossed his legs, and started to utilize the "Carefree True Scripture" mind method for recovery.

Right now, he was in great need to restore his Cultivation Power; only by restoring it could he do what he wanted to do!

Silently following the spell, as he operated it, Xiao Yi’s mind soon plunged into that familiar state of ethereal clarity.

I hadn’t expected that the Needle Technique would be so overbearing, not even a bit of True Qi was left!

After circulating his qi once, Xiao Yi immediately noticed the condition inside his body, couldn’t help but let out a wry smile. When the Carefree True Scripture’s spell started to operate, there was none of the familiar gentle flow he was used to; his energy center was completely vacuumed, feeling distinctly parched and exhausted.

This situation was even worse than what he had anticipated.

No wonder he had felt so exhausted earlier, even standing felt nearly unmanageable.

It took a while for Xiao Yi to collect his thoughts and continue focusing fully on operating the spell.

Huh?

Suddenly, Xiao Yi’s mind was jolted, followed by a surge of immense joy from the depths of his heart.

What was happening?

After forcefully running the spell several times, the parched energy center within finally started to emit threads of the familiar Carefree True Qi. This wasn’t surprising, as he had expected it, but what shocked and delighted Xiao Yi was that this surge of qi, resembling a fine stream, didn’t stop after returning to its former state but continued to emerge ceaselessly, seemingly wanting to fill the entire energy center.
