Chapter 124: This Junior is Inadequate, Just Reached the Transformation tage at the Age of Twenty
“May I ask, little friend, what is your cultivation level?” The white-bearded old man asked tentatively.
“This junior is inadequate, I have just reached the Transformation stage at the age of twenty.” Yang Wei said with a hint of arrogance.
After being repeatedly humiliated by Jiang Che, he wanted to regain some confidence from this old man to remind himself that he was not a waste; Jiang Che was simply too monstrous.
As expected, he guessed correctly! The white-bearded old man thought to himself, then smiled and said, “Indeed, heroes come from the youth. Why be modest, little friend? Achieving the Transformation stage at the age of twenty is a rare feat throughout history.”
“It is shameful to say, but I have spent my whole life cultivating and have only reached the peak of the Innate stage.” The white-bearded old man shook his head with a bitter smile, truly feeling the sting of comparison.
This guy reached a level at twenty that he couldn’t achieve in a lifetime. Had he been cultivating in vain all these years?
“May I know your name, little friend, and your master’s name?”
“My name is Yang Wei, and I am a disciple of Master Cangmang. Thank you, sir, for bringing me to the hospital.” Yang Wei said gratefully. Regardless, the old man had good intentions, and he should thank him.
“It was a small effort. I am Liu Qingfeng, a member of the Liu family, one of the four major families in Linjiang City.” Liu Qingfeng said with a faint smile, expressing his goodwill. After all, this young man was too extraordinary and worth befriending.
“A member of the Liu family? Do you know Jiang Che?” Yang Wei asked, his mind racing.
He hadn’t heard of the Liu family in Linjiang City, but since they claimed to be one of the four major families, they must have heard of Jiang Che.
“Of course I know Jiang Che. Why do you ask, little friend?” Liu Qingfeng asked curiously, looking at Yang Wei.
“It’s nothing. I just admire Young Master Jiang and wanted to inquire about him.” Yang Wei said. He wasn’t stupid; who knew what kind of relationship this old man had with Jiang Che.
If he directly admitted his enmity with Jiang Che, who knew if this old man would sell him out.
“Is that so…” Liu Qingfeng nodded in understanding, then began to talk freely.
“Jiang Che is the young master of the Jiang family, the head of the four major families in Linjiang City. He is gentle and elegant, a dream lover of countless talented women.”
“He is wealthy and talented…”
Listening to the old man’s praises, Yang Wei’s face darkened, and his mouth twitched unconsciously.
Damn it, aren’t you also a member of one of the four major families? Do you need to flatter a junior so much?
He knew Jiang Che was indeed handsome, but there was no need to praise him so excessively.
“How does your Liu family compare to the Jiang family?” For some unknown reason, Yang Wei asked this question out of the blue.
Liu Qingfeng glanced at Yang Wei but didn’t think much of it, assuming he was merely curious.
“Although the Liu family is one of the four major families, we are far behind the Jiang family, incomparable.” Hearing Liu Qingfeng’s words, Yang Wei fell silent, realizing that avoiding Jiang Che’s revenge and making a name for himself in Linjiang City was a long journey.
First, he needed to gain this old man’s trust and then find a way to gain more power. With this thought, Yang Wei began to read Liu Qingfeng’s face. The more he looked, the happier he became!
As expected, this old man was not disappointing; he was about to face a bloody disaster!
“Mr. Liu, forgive me for being direct, but you seem to be facing a bloody disaster soon!” Yang Wei said seriously, looking at Liu Qingfeng with a solemn expression.
“A bloody disaster?” Liu Qingfeng was stunned, then asked in confusion. He had no idea what bloody disaster he could be facing.
“Yes, and from what I see, it seems to involve someone close to you…” Yang Wei advised seriously. After all, his rise depended on this old man, and he didn’t want him to die just yet.
“I will be careful.” Liu Qingfeng stroked his beard and smiled, not taking it seriously. He felt Yang Wei was talking nonsense. He was living well and had a clear conscience; how could there be a bloody disaster?
“Little friend, do you have a place to stay recently?” Liu Qingfeng asked curiously. If Yang Wei had a place to stay, why would he be practicing in the park in the middle of the night?
“Well… not yet…” Yang Wei shook his head awkwardly.
“In that case, why not come to the Liu family with me? I can also seek your advice on cultivation matters.” Liu Qingfeng sincerely invited Yang Wei. He had his own plans, intending to gradually win over Yang Wei to his side.
“Since that’s the case, I will take you up on your offer…” Yang Wei thought for a moment and agreed. He was worrying about how to make use of this old man, and now the opportunity had presented itself. Naturally, he agreed readily.
Thus, the old man and the young man, each with their own plans, left the hospital and headed towards the Liu family.
…
“This is the Liu family. You can stay here to recover from your injuries for now.” Liu Qingfeng brought Yang Wei back to the Liu family mansion and had a servant arrange a room for Yang Wei.
After expressing his gratitude, Yang Wei went directly to the room. His injuries had not fully healed, and he needed a quiet place to recuperate.
…
In the living room of Crouching Dragon Villa, Jiang Che was leisurely drinking tea on the sofa.
“Has Yang Wei met Liu Qingfeng?” Jiang Che asked.
“Yes, young master. Yang Wei has already gone to the Liu family with Liu Qingfeng.” Ah Long replied respectfully. After following Jiang Che to the Gu family last time, he had arranged for his men to monitor Yang Wei.
They had monitored countless people as per instructions, so he was well-versed in such matters.
“Have the brothers keep an eye on him, but don’t take any action. Report to me if anything happens.”
“Understood, young master.” Ah Long responded and respectfully retreated.
“It seems the plot is back on track…” Jiang Che thought to himself, squinting slightly.
Apart from the Gu family, Liu Qingfeng of the Liu family was considered Yang Wei’s benefactor on his rise in Linjiang City.
They had a mutually beneficial relationship, with Liu Qingfeng using Yang Wei to strengthen his family and attract numerous admirers. Yang Wei gained fame, laying the foundation for his future rise.
‘But with me here, do these two think they can get what they want?’
If he remembered correctly, Liu Qingfeng’s eldest son, Liu Lei, was not a good person. He planned to harm his own father to become the head of the Liu family early!
However, his plan was naturally foiled by Yang Wei, earning Liu Qingfeng’s trust.
With these thoughts, a brilliant plan flashed through Jiang Che’s mind. A sinister smile appeared on his face as he decided to meet Liu Lei tomorrow. The guy had gone on a business trip and would return to Linjiang City tomorrow.
…
At ten o’clock at night, Jiang Che took a bath and comfortably lay down on his bed. Just as he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly felt something. He leaped from his bed, and a broken blade was embedded where he had been lying.
A figure, like a ghost, silently entered his room.
Seeing the person, Jiang Che was a bit astonished, “It’s you?!”Ch𝒆êck out l𝒂t𝒆st 𝒏𝒐v𝒆l𝒔 on n/o/v𝒆/l/bin(.)c/𝒐/m
