Chapter 90: Chapter 91: The Grudge of a Slap in the Face

"All right."

Chen Jianguo, looking at Xiao Yi’s determined and sincere eyes, thought of Old Man Xiao’s abilities and how Xiao Yi had rescued Xue from Sun Hao’s grasp so effortlessly. Perhaps he really had a way to deal with Sun Hao. Gritting his teeth, he nodded in agreement.

"Well then, if there’s nothing else, let’s leave it at that. We’re going downstairs. By the way, are you staying here tonight?"

Xiao Yi let out a sigh of relief once Chen Jianguo agreed. Then he remembered something and asked Chen Jianguo. The villa was cleaned daily, every room was spotless, the beds were ready, and even daily necessities, like toothbrushes, were prepared just like in a hotel. So if they wanted to stay, it would be very convenient.

"No, we’ve already disturbed you for so long today. We won’t bother you any longer. We’ll head back directly after going down."

Chen Jianguo shook his head.

For the past few days, he had been so worried about his daughter that he couldn’t eat or sleep. With his daughter back, he was eager to return and deal with some urgent matters, as well as to think about how to handle Jin Dongming’s issue.

"Then I won’t keep you. I’ll walk you out."

Xiao Yi didn’t insist on them staying and just nodded.

He could see Chen Jianguo was in a hurry to deal with matters. From what Chen Jianguo had told him earlier, the situation at Jianguo Group wasn’t going smoothly. Moreover, even if Jin Dongming transferred his shares smoothly, his departure would likely still leave many issues to be dealt with, such as the succession of his position and the handover of his responsibilities.

Once Chen Jianguo went downstairs, he called his daughter, who was watching TV on the sofa, and they left. Liu Yuan, as the driver, naturally followed them out. Chen Xue didn’t expect her father to be in such a hurry to leave and felt reluctant, but still obediently followed her father. As she left, she turned back and called out to Xiao Yi, praising the meal he cooked as delicious and said she would come again for his cooking. Her father gave her a stern look, but she ignored it, stuck out her tongue, and winked at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi wasn’t bothered and just smiled, agreeing to her words.

He had a rather good impression of Chen Jianguo’s daughter. First, he admired her stubborn expression when she faced Sun Hao and his men, as well as when she faced fear, before seeing her father. Second, she was uninhibited in front of him, and her speech and expressions felt very warm to him, like a little sister.

After seeing them off, he turned around to see that the living room and kitchen had been tidied up neatly by Liu Yuan. There wasn’t anything left to do, so he went upstairs for a quick shower and began his training for the day.

Today’s encounter with Lord Hong, though it hadn’t injured him, had drained a significant amount of his True Qi. He had to recover as quickly as possible. Moreover, encountering two Bone Tempering Period experts in one day made him feel even more urgent about enhancing his own strength.

If he didn’t strive to improve his strength soon, the forces behind Sun Hao might really come after him for revenge. And now, unlike before, he couldn’t just turn around and leave. If he did, they would definitely take out their anger on Chen Jianguo.

Originally, if he could have contacted the old man, he wouldn’t have been worried at all. Although he never knew the exact extent of the old man’s strength, he felt that if the old man wasn’t number one in the world, he could well be the second. He once witnessed a High Tier Condensation expert being smacked to death by the old man’s palm, as effortlessly as swatting a mosquito, without a chance to react...

Had Xiao Yi not personally seen that High Tier Condensation expert in action, experiencing that incredibly horrifying might and knowing he had at least Middle Tier Condensation abilities, he would have thought the old man was bluffing him.

After that incident, his spirit was scarred for a long time, unable to recover. Before then, he always thought that breaking into the Condensation period meant he could fight evenly with the old man, as he had always felt the old man was only slightly more powerful, probably at the Initial Tier...

To sum up, the old man was by far the most powerful person he had ever encountered. He hadn’t seen anyone stronger than the old man...

But now, the harsh reality was that no one knew where in the world the old man had gone to chase women. His phone was completely turned off. Since the last time he received a call from the old man, Xiao Yi had tried to reach him several times, but to no avail...

So, the only one he could rely on now was himself.

......

Z University, Taekwondo Hall.

"Boss, it must be that bastard Xiao who’s behind this!"

A group of youths dressed in pristine white Taekwondo uniforms surrounded a gloomy-faced Li Ziming, their expressions filled with anger. One particularly muscular young man raised his head bitterly and said.

"Exactly, boss, it must have been them. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that we ran into trouble both times we went after that country bumpkin!"

"Yeah, it’s definitely that bastard’s doing. We can’t let him get away with it!"

"..."

Once someone started, everybody else joined in with fervent agreement.

Li Ziming, listening to the clamor around him, did not speak, but his eyes were like those of a wounded beast, filled with terrifying bloodshot rage, and his fists were clenched so tightly that they made a creaking noise.

This time, even if he was an idiot, he knew it wasn’t some nonsensical neurological pain.

In the world, even if there really was such a ridiculous condition, it couldn’t possibly coincide with the times he was about to hit that country bumpkin!

Therefore, he knew he had been slapped in the face! Yes, blatantly slapped in the face!

In his entire life, Li Ziming had never felt so humiliated as today!

It had always been him slapping others; no one had ever slapped his face!

And not just once, but twice in a row!

This grudge, this insult, he would never swallow it, nor could he. If he swallowed this insult, how could he hold his head high in Z University again? Even more seriously, how could he show his face in the high society of G City?
