Chapter 83: Chapter 84: It’s Him

(I had something to do in the morning, so the update is late, sorry! Thanks to our book friend Cotton already in bloom for the reward support, thank you, your support is my biggest motivation!)——————————————————————————————

"Huff huff... he’s finally gone."

This time, Xiao Yi didn’t stop his steps or turned back, Sun Hao watched as Xiao Yi’s figure completely disappeared and couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief, his whole body relaxed. Then, as if remembering something, he turned his head and looked at Lord Hong with concern, "Lord Hong, are you alright?

"I’m fine, just a minor injury, I’ll recover in a few days, but it’s a serious matter for him."

Lord Hong shook his head, his gaze shifting to Shi San beside him.

"Shi San, what’s wrong with you?"

Upon hearing Lord Hong’s words, Sun Hao immediately looked anxiously at Shi San. Although Lord Hong was the stronger and his greatest reliance, Shi San was the one closest to him because Shi San was truly his man.

"Brother Hao, I... I’m afraid I won’t be able to serve you anymore."

Shi San forced a bitter smile, revealing a sorrowful grin.

His exchange of blows with Xiao Yi had consequences far beyond his imagination. He had just tried to muster his Powerful qi only to find that he couldn’t summon even a trace of the Powerful qi he had diligently trained for decades.

His current condition was no different from a waste, even worse than one.

"What happened?"

Sun Hao was completely frightened by Shi San’s words. He originally thought that Shi San had merely sustained some injuries, but now it seemed that wasn’t the case at all. If something serious happened to Shi San, his loss this time would be truly fucking huge. A High Tier Bone Tempering Period expert was as important to him as his own life, the only chance for Sun Hao to rise!

"Actually, it may not be as bad as you think. If you go to Glass City now and find someone, he might be able to heal your injuries."

Shi San was about to speak and explain his situation when Lord Hong suddenly raised his head and spoke indifferently.

"Ah?"

Shi San’s heart, which had been dead silent, suddenly leaped, his face filled with overwhelming excitement as he turned to look at Lord Hong and asked with a trembling voice, "Lord Hong, are you saying... is it true? Can my injuries really be healed?"

"Don’t get your hopes up too high, I’m not certain either, and even if you are healed, whether you can regain your current cultivation power is also an unknown."

Lord Hong spoke indifferently.

"A glimmer of hope is still good!"

Shi San’s face darkened again upon hearing Lord Hong’s words, but quickly, he showed a determined expression, and said to Lord Hong, "Lord Hong, I beg you to give me a chance at life."

"Come with me tomorrow morning, and for tonight, use this Pain Relief Pill to get through the night."

Lord Hong nodded, took out a small box from the pocket of his somewhat bizarre clothes, and threw it over to him.

"Thank you, Lord Hong."

Shi San looked at Lord Hong with gratitude.

"Lord Hong, are you going back too?"

When Sun Hao heard Lord Hong’s words, he was startled and then expressed his surprise.

"Although my injury isn’t serious, I need to go back and deal with it. Moreover, with such a formidable young figure emerging here, I must report it and investigate this Xiao Yi’s background," Lord Hong said as he lifted his head, a fierce look flashing in his eyes.

Today’s defeat was his first since he arrived in G City, and he was definitely lying if he claimed he didn’t want revenge. But he knew all too well that confronting Xiao Yi rashly would only lead to failure. His only option was to seek external assistance, with the prerequisite being to first clarify the origins of this young man named Xiao Yi. If it turned out that Xiao Yi was indeed the scion of a major family, then he could probably forget about his revenge forever. The backers behind him would never offend a family capable of cultivating a high-tier Bone Tempering expert in his twenties just for the sake of a minor injury he had suffered.

"Xiao Yi, why does that name sound so familiar?"

Upon hearing Lord Hong’s remarks, Hua Qingqing suddenly wore a contemplative expression. "Ah, I remember now! Brother Hao, that kid who disrupted our plans some days ago, wasn’t his name Xiao Yi?"

"Hmm?"

Sun Hao paused for a moment, his eyes lighting up. Wasn’t it indeed Xiao Yi who had foiled his plans not once, but twice? He had been planning to deal with him soon, to teach him a severe lesson. However, just when he was about to act, he received a new assignment involving the kidnapping of Chen Jianguo’s daughter, so he had to put his plan on hold. He had thought to settle the score with Xiao Yi after wrapping up the current affair.

If it was truly the same person, then this grudge had become substantial!

With this thought, Sun Hao urgently said, "Didn’t Mouse send you a photo? Take it out and let’s see."

Without waiting for his instruction, Hua Qingqing had already taken out her phone and started searching. Quickly, with her small hands darting across the large phone screen, she found the message she was looking for.

"It’s him!"

As soon as she opened the message and glanced at the approximately one-inch photo, Hua Qingqing immediately confirmed that the Xiao Yi from before was the same as the one in the picture; their clothing was exactly the same!

"Xiao Yi!"

Sun Hao also leaned in to look at the picture in the message. His face turned ashen, his fists clenched tightly as he pounded a nearby sofa chair. Grinding his teeth, his eyes revealed an immensely bitter expression.

This Xiao Yi not only ruined his plans twice before but had also foiled another plan today, causing him to lose his most favored and reliable general. Although Lord Hong had suggested that there was still hope for recovery, no one could be certain as long as the general wasn’t fully healed.

"After I leave, you’d better not act rashly. He’s not someone you can handle. As for the failure of the mission, don’t worry. I will go back and explain it clearly for you," Lord Hong said as he looked at Sun Hao’s agitated demeanor, reminding him in a calm tone. Although Sun Hao seemed insignificant to him, he knew that Sun Hao couldn’t afford any trouble right now. He was still a highly valued subordinate of that person, relied upon for many matters, and couldn’t have anything go wrong. Plus, Sun Hao was officially under his protection, and if something were to happen now, he couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t be blamed.
