A moment later, Luo Kegong, emanating a strong scent of alcohol, left.
Cheng Tianen, with his hands clasped behind, watched him leave and heaved a long sigh.
“Brother, how do you view this situation?”
Cheng Tianxi lowered his voice and suddenly asked, “Do you really think that Chen Yusheng from the Great Python Realm was killed by the notorious bandits?”
Cheng Tianen was startled for a moment, frowned, and replied, “What, do you think there’s something amiss here?”
“Yes, I always feel there’s something strange about this case.
Think about it, if the bandits had indeed killed Chen Yusheng, why didn’t they go and raid the Chen Family, who are the richest family in town with immense wealth?”
Analyzing the situation, Cheng Tianxi continued authoritatively, “Luo Kegong is certain it was the doing of the bandits, and that’s his judgment.
But as you know, Luo Kegong is nothing but a fool.
If he weren’t a scion of the Luo Family, how could he possibly hold an official position?”
The Luo Family is an aristocratic family.
The descendants of the Luo Family, even if incompetent, are persons of prestige with opportunities to hold office.
In fact, the lord of Qinghe County and all local officials at every level are descendants of the Luo Family.
Because the entire Qinghe County is completely under the influence of the Luo Family.
The Luo Family controls an enormously vast territory.
Indeed, Qinghe County is just one of the regions ruled by the Luo Family.
“What you say makes sense…”
Cheng Tianen nodded.
He obviously knew Luo Kegong as nothing but an incompetent, a debauchee engrossed only in eating, drinking, and gambling, utterly worthless.
Luo Kegong never cares about the lives and deaths of the common people.
He ignores the hardships of numerous refugees, engrossed daily in indulgence and oblivious to the concerns around him.
If it weren’t for the threat to his own life posed by the notorious bandits, he wouldn’t bother himself with the matter.
Cheng Tianen pondered, “The small Qinghe town is situated within the Funiu Mountains, not a grain-producing area.
Little Qinghe is merely one of the tributaries of the eighteen waterways, remote and impoverished.
Indeed, it’s unlikely for bandits to target this place.”
Cheng Tianxi continued, “I suspect, a master has come to the town.”
“A master…”
The look in Cheng Tianen’s eyes flickered, and his brows increasingly furrowed.
At that moment, an old servant came over, smiling, “Breakfast is ready.”
The two brothers, hungry, went inside to eat.
Xigou slowly opened his eyes, got up, and ran back to his room.
“Fang Zhixing, you really weren’t wrong, Cheng Tianxi indeed is a dangerous man,” Xigou said urgently.
Fang Zhixing, composed and indifferent, responded softly, “Go into detail.”
Xigou spoke at length, finally saying, “Cheng Tianxi is a clever man, discerning a problem here instantly.”
Upon hearing this, Fang Zhixing’s expression subtly changed and he muttered pensively, “Both Cheng Tianxi and the local head are literate!”
At this response, Xigou was momentarily speechless.
So Fang Zhixing was still obsessing over this matter—is this a habit of a top student to learn continually everywhere?
Yet, he suddenly realized the difference between himself and Fang Zhixing.
For instance, Xigou’s first reaction to the dangerous Cheng Tianxi was to avoid him.
But Fang Zhixing was different—he immediately saw an opportunity, a chance to improve himself!
Is this the difference between a poor and a top student?
Before long, a man and a dog left the house, heading to a street stall for breakfast.
“Did you hear?
Something big has happened!”
“Linjiang Pavilion burned down to ashes, and the old master Chen is gone too.”
“I heard that Old Master Chen has gone mad, offering all his family’s wealth for the capture of the murderer.”
…
The breakfast crowd was abuzz with discussion, spitting flying all around.
“A bounty?”
Fang Zhixing’s interest was piqued upon hearing this.
Xigou communicated through mental transmission, “Should we take care of that Old Master Chen?”
Fang Zhixing replied, “It’s too late, we should have acted last night.”
Xigou, astonished, questioned, “How is it too late?”
Fang Zhixing sighed, “Previously, we didn’t know much about the Chen Family and didn’t dare to rashly break in and commit murder.
Now that we know, aside from being wealthy, only that paraplegic is a martial artist; others are not a concern.
Old Master Chen could have been easily killed.”
Xigou, confused, said, “Yeah, why didn’t you go kill him?”
Fang Zhixing answered, “If I were to kill Old Master Chen now, Cheng Tianxi would immediately conclude his judgment was correct, possibly initiating an investigation and complicating things.”
Xigou suddenly realized.
Although Cheng Tianxi was suspicious, he seemed to have no intention of further investigation and had just mentioned it casually.
After breakfast, Fang Zhixing returned to the Cheng family compound and, pretending to struggle, practiced the Iron Mountain Skill intensely. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
He needed to put on a show, and then, after a few days, he would tell Cheng Tianen that he had mastered the Iron Mountain Skill’s First Layer to the Perfect Realm, ensuring everything would proceed smoothly and naturally.
If all went as expected, Cheng Tianen should then teach him the Iron Mountain Skill’s Second Layer.
Witnessing this scene, Xigou curiously asked, “Why doesn’t your Full Level Cheats directly show the conditions to master the Second Layer of Iron Mountain Skill?”
Fang Zhixing replied, “Without the technique, how could it show?”
Xigou carefully said, “After you encountered the bow and arrow, there appeared sequentially the conditions to become Apprentice Archer, Common Archer, Elite Archer, didn’t it?”
Fang Zhixing responded, “Indeed it is so with the bow and arrow, but not everything is like that.
After I encountered the hunting knife, it only displayed the ‘Common Sword Drawing Skill’s Full Level Conditions’ without any follow-up.
The same applies to cultivation techniques.”
He continued analyzing, “I think this situation is connected to the complexity of a skill.
Blade skills and the Iron Mountain Skill are relatively intricate techniques.
Without specific content, the system cannot obtain the respective Full Level Conditions.
Whereas the bow and arrow is relatively simple, allowing for three sequential advancements.
However, ‘Elite Archer’ is certainly not the pinnacle; there must be further progression, but due to the lack of a certain trigger condition, the system cannot display it.”
Upon hearing this, Xigou felt overwhelmed and glanced at his own System Panel, smugly saying, “Humph, my Bonds Hack is still more powerful, purely passive, without needing any effort from me.”
Fang Zhixing scornfully replied, “Weren’t you the same in your past life, every time you saw a beautiful aunt you would say, ‘I don’t want to make any effort.'”
