Chapter 114: Chapter 13: Like Playing the Sneaky One? I’ll Find You Something to Do

"..."

Si Nan’s expression instantly shifted from surprise to calm.

He glanced at Shi Sheng with a deadpan look.

He seemed to have figured it out.

This guy’s skin is getting thicker and thicker, inviting himself to dinner like it was nothing.

"Did I say I would treat you?"

"It’s no fun drinking alone, what’s wrong with me having a few drinks with you?"

He may not be in the right, but he’s certainly confident.

"..."

Forget it, after staring at Shi Sheng for a while, Si Nan still shook his head.

"Alright, let’s go!"

Drinking alone is indeed boring.

However.

"Why didn’t you invite the adult earlier?"

"I did invite him, you weren’t around earlier, he said he wouldn’t go!"

"I see!"

He nodded instinctively, then, realizing something, looked at Shi Sheng with frustration.

"You were sure I’d treat, right!"

In the future, if anyone says Shi Sheng is honest, Si Nan will definitely refute immediately.

Damn it, how is this honest?

...

Night time.

Shi Xing’an was carrying a wooden box, returning home with a pleased expression.

He placed the wooden box on the table.

Once opened, it revealed a neat stack of silver notes, a considerable amount.

It was clear that Shi Xing’an reaped quite a harvest this time.

Despite his title as Lord Thousand Households, even if Shi Xing’an didn’t actively reach out, many wealthy merchants would approach him seeking protection. In this era, merchants’ status was not very high.

Though they have money,

If they lack connections in the official circle, it’s hard to keep rolling along.

Shi Xing’an leveraged this fact to collect substantial fees, under the guise of cooperation, but it was essentially protection money.

"Chong’Er, quickly come out, we don’t need to live here anymore. Tonight, I’ll take you to stay at an inn, and tomorrow we’ll directly choose a new mansion."

With this much money, it’s more than enough to buy a mansion larger than the previous one.

Indeed.

One has to be ruthless with oneself. If he hadn’t decisively spent all of his assets to ’buy’ the position of Lord Thousand Households back then, how could he have such good days now?

"Chong’Er?"

Seeing no response from the room, Shi Xing’an frowned and looked over.

Shi Xing’an’s most cherished person was this son of his.

After all, he is his only seedling.

So, as soon as Shi Xing’an got promoted to Lord Thousand Households, he hastily promoted his son to Hundred Households.

"Not back yet?"

Could it be that he’s still out drinking and hasn’t come back?

Shi Xing’an was a bit puzzled, took back the wooden box from the table, and walked towards the room.

"Chong’Er?"

The door opened.

Seeing the situation inside the room, Shi Xing’an’s eyes widened.

"Chong’Er!"

At this moment, Shi Chong lay in the room, completely lifeless.

Ye Liuyun’s palm, though it crippled Shi Chong, didn’t directly cost him his life. Shi Chong simply couldn’t accept the fact that he was now a cripple, hence chose suicide.

"Who is it! Who exactly is it!"

The only seedling was gone.

At this moment, Shi Xing’an couldn’t care less about money, his eyes turned fierce.

The fury seemed ready to erupt like fire.

...

"That’s enough for today."

At Ye Liuyun’s mansion.

After usual returns, Ye Liuyun would typically train for two or three hours, but today, he only practiced for less than an hour.

No choice.

There’s no progress to be gained from the cultivation technique, practicing more only strengthens his current power with no breakthroughs possible.

There’s no point in persisting, it would only waste time.

Ye Liuyun has already planned to visit Flur Tower in the next couple of days.

"Master!"

Seeing Ye Liuyun stop training,

Xing’Er, who was waiting by his side, approached.

"I’ll have someone prepare some food for Master. After Master eats, take a bath then rest."

Over time, this Xing’Er has become more and more considerate.

Ye Liuyun was about to nod in agreement.

But the next moment.

As if sensing something, he looked towards the outside of the courtyard.

He raised his hand and pulled Xing’Er by his side.

"???"

Xing’Er was still unaware of what had happened.

The angry roar of Shi Xing’an then came through.

"Ye Liuyun, pay with your life for my son."

After witnessing his son’s death, Shi Xing’an immediately sought out his son’s subordinates to understand the situation earlier.

His inner fury couldn’t be assuaged, so Shi Xing’an, without delay, found Ye Liuyun’s location.

Upon seeing Ye Liuyun,

Without any hesitation, he directly moved to attack.

Holding Xing’Er in one arm, Ye Liuyun raised his eyebrow, watching the eagerly rushing Shi Xing’an.

Fear?

That was certainly impossible.

Ye Liuyun was purely curious, after all, how dare you?

"Prepare to die!"

Seeing himself closing in on Ye Liuyun, Shi Xing’an’s eyes turned even more fierce.

After a loud roar, he drew his blade and slashed at Ye Liuyun.

"Buzz!"

However, just as the blade was about to approach Ye Liuyun.

A faint ripple of inner strength emanated around Ye Liuyun, stopping Shi Xing’an’s blade without him even moving.

"Innate Gang Qi!"

Shi Xing’an’s expression darkened.

Though still a Postnatal Martial Artist, Shi Xing’an understood the power of Innate Gang Qi.

He instantly became much clearer.

But at the thought of his deceased son, Shi Xing’an still grit his teeth and said.

"Ye Liuyun, you killed my only son, I will definitely not spare you!"
