After what just happened, Zhang Long wei was not in the mood to enjoy his meal anymore. Even so, he had had no more than one little shrimp. His cultivation could not be effected by hunger, so he forced himself to down a whole bowl of steaming porridge.
And that was when someone came whispering something to him.
"Zian, here. Your girlfriend asked me to give you this note."
Little memo was left there near his hand, and when Zhang Long wei casually looked up, the boy earlier had already disappeared into thin air in a rush.
Being a matchmaker could be considered a crime in Jianyu Sect. If elders found out relationships between disciples under 16, they would be severely chastised, but for a matchmaker, the punishment would raised up to twofold.
Just a little act of helping to exchange letters between lovers was counted as matchmaking. If it were not for this gorgeous beauty, Zhao Xiuying, the boy would not have sacrificed his dear life and handed over this note. It was not exaggerated. The timid boy earlier really took it as sacrificing his own precious life.
Uninterested, Zhang Long wei did not even pick it up as the little note was converted into pieces of shreds in an instant from a cold glance of his eyes.
"What? Our master's son had already arrived. You mean Li Jie?!" Suddenly, there came a loud and surprised exclamation from a nearby group. Zhang Long wei didn't even need to take a glance. Who could it be other than that loudmouth senior of his, Guiren?
He was annoyed at first but the words" our master's son" intrigued him a bit.These days, he had learned some new techniques under Immortal Wang's guidance. Though they were just some simple and useful ones, it would be a lie if he said he was not even impressed a bit. Immortal Wang exactly knew how to trained different types of disciples with different sorts of methods. His years of experiences made him a remarkable trainer. Not so bad as a master, worthy of his fame as expected of Immortal Wang.
And, this kind of father would definitely bring up an outstanding son. His interest was slighly piqued and the demon lord started listening to their conversation subconsciously.
"Of course, is there any other son of our master other than that brilliant guy? "
"Why do I hear no news about that?"
"Well, I overheard it from Elder Yang just this morning."
"Speaking of which, you just called him Li Jie. Are you two that close?"
"Hahaha, listen. That nerd and this one have been friends for centuries since before you three joined the sect. You should be honored to become friends with me, hahaha...."
"fuckin honered, you rascal."
"Huang Guiren was spouting nonsense again."
"Yeah, that big mouth of his always have a place for big words."
"Wait a minute, let me ask a question. Is that guy the one who beat Prince Jiang in the last competition?"
"Mmm.... A really talented guy though."
This world really don't lack in young geniuses... Zhang Long wei mused. Now that he thought about young geniuses, where could that little youth be right now? Of course, he was thinking about Wang Li Jie. The impression of that youth in his mind was someone who accompanied him at his last moment rather than the one who killed him. But he was not in a hurry to find him. Zhang Long wei sipped the tea and smirked. He had this very feeling that soon he would met the youth again. He believed in his gut and was already looking forward to that day.
Somewhere at the Immortal Wang's residence
Ah-choo...
Wang Li Jie sneezed and murmured under his breath, " Who the hell was thinking about about me at this damn time?" rubbing his red nose with some resentment. What could he do other than resenting the nonexistent culprit who was responsible for his sneeze when the one who was currently punishing him was his very own father?
"What are you muttering? cursing me? A deep and creepy tone rang out from behind, scaring the hell out of Wang Li Jie who was currently kneeling on the floor.
" No, no, that's not it, father. I was just reprimanding myself for deceiving you. I'm already this remorseful. How would this humble son dare to curse you, father?"
The youth on the floor replied, giving an air as if he was the most innocent kid in the whole world who was just wronged by his villain-like father.
Why did he came back and got disciplined all of a sudden? To find out, let's go back to an incident that happened two days ago. It was a tiring day for Wang Li Jie as always, a day full of challenging trainings, not until that night the three brothers made up their mind to sneak out and venture into a renowned brothel of capital named "paradise of pleasures" . The three completed their little scheme and succeeded in tricking elders. They changed into normal attires, faked their identities as young masters of some big household and ran off to the brothel. Everything had turned out well and the three were about to celebrate a triumphal party with their little deities when two creepy ghosts in white popped out of thin air, frightening the hell out of these naughty brats.
Of course, these two creepy ghosts could be no other than Immortal Wang and Sect leader Yu. In fact, immortal Wang had already sent a voice transmission that he was coming tonight which Wang Li Jie absolutely failed to realize because of the noisy and rowdy atmosphere of the brothel. Snowy-light-peak and the capital were thousands of miles away indeed. But using a first-rate talisman of transportation, it was not impossible to came here in one second.
The two elders needed to do an urgent discussion, concerning the matter of soul consuming curse which was exactly the same as Li Zian was used against.These days, five or more people, who had the same symptoms as those cursed one around emerald jade mountain, were found in the capital too.
The number was insignificant but given the fact that the curse was irremovable, it would become a tragedy if a huge mass of citizens were to be targeted. Just as the discussion was over, it was already dark outside. Immortal Wang headed towards his son's place only to find out that the youth had gone sneaked out and he had no inkling where he was.
The detection went on and Sect leader Yu also joined him forming a team of two brothers and thus the current condition. His two cousins were taken back to the sect and reprimanded whereas Wang Li Jie was practically dragged back to the snowy-light-peak and got punished personally by his father.
Recalling that, were his cousins also getting beaten up to pulp like himself too? How unlucky they were! A luckless guy pitying two other luckless guys...
"Bullshit! Trying to act innocent again? "
His father's furious voice came out and Wang Li Jie got whipped in the back again, his whole body trembled in pain but he endured and put on a calm face. His back ached and hurt like crazy, his legs which had been kneeling since yesterday dawn, had gone numb and sore all over.
"Wang Taio! How long are you planning to beat my precious son? "
The irritated mother who was watching all these from beside, could not stand this anymore and thundered.
"Meilin, he would do it again if I don-"
Immortal Wang's tone dropped to an indescribable level of gentleness, trying to convinced his beloved, but the inflamed lady intercepted her husband mid-sentence and exploded again.
"What if he do it again? What's wrong with an adult going to a brothel? Aren't you like that too at his age? "
"Of course not. If I were like this shameless son, you would have never chosen me in the first place. "
Immortal Wang retorted, defending his own morality and love for this lady.
"That....."
His wife seemed to be at a loss for words for a moment seemingly because what her husband told was actually true. Satisfied, immortal Wang turned around to scold his son once again.
"We can't let him go easily like this. Not even breaking his leg would be enough of punishment. "
"Then break his leg. "
A cold and stony voice of the lady came out. The stunned Wang Li Jie looked up at his mother with genuine fear. Immortal Wang was pleased because his wife was finally cooperating in reprimanding their son...great, what a rare day! His dear wife was being very obedient to him today.....
"Then I'll make sure to break your third leg. "
"Pftttt...."
Wang Li Jie who could not suppress his laughter anymore, let out a muffled chuckle, gloating over his father's poor luck.
Immortal Wang "...."
