65: You've got some kind of mystical understanding, kid? Sixteen years old??
Sitting in the carriage on the way home, Chen Heng rubbed his temples.
“I always feel like I forgot something today?”
After thinking for a while but still not remembering, Chen Heng simply gave up.
It probably wasn't anything important, otherwise, he would never forget it.
Just like the dry well in Shigou Village, Chen Heng always wanted to explore it again.
Unfortunately, things kept coming one after another recently, and he simply didn't have time to wander around.
“When can I have a couple of peaceful days…” Chen Heng sighed, leaning back on the soft seat and closing his eyes to rest.
He rarely didn't seize every opportunity to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Longevity Art today; instead, he truly relaxed for a bit.
But after resting for a while, Chen Heng sat up with his legs crossed.
“Before becoming invincible, I should still work a little harder.”
...Soon, the carriage stopped at the entrance of the Chen Family Courtyard.
As soon as Chen Heng stepped out of the carriage, he saw Qi Longhu's exclusive carriage parked in front of his house.
His Household Servants were feeding beans and eggs to the three black horses.
Seeing the carriage, Chen Heng knew that Qi Longhu must be in the courtyard.
Pushing open the main door, it was indeed so.
Qi Longhu was standing in the courtyard, feeling Tianer's bones.
“Little Girl has good talent; she can definitely practice martial arts.” Qi Longhu's face was full of doting affection as he squatted down and patted the Little Girl's head.
“As for a Master, there's no need to take me as your Master; your family already has a Tongxuan Martial Artist who is no weaker than me.”
“Look, speak of the devil.” Qi Longhu turned to look at Chen Heng.
“Kid, your sister…”
Qi Longhu's eyes widened, and he stared at Chen Heng up and down with an incredulous expression.
“You've reached the Tongxuan Realm?”
“Hmm, I just had a Breakthrough.” Chen Heng nodded, looking calm and collected.
“Holy shit!” Qi Longhu forcefully slapped his thigh.
“You’re only sixteen, right?”
“A sixteen-year-old Tongxuan Martial Artist…”
“No, I need to calm down.”
Qi Longhu squatted by the courtyard gate, constantly picking at the floor tiles with his fingers.
He was also muttering to himself.
“Can't compare with a Prodigy, can't compare with a Prodigy…”
“Relax, relax, I'm about to Break through too, and I'll still be one Realm higher than him.”
After self-hypnotizing for quite a while, Qi Longhu re-established his martial Dao heart.
He stood up, walked over to Chen Heng, and stared at him with his two bull-like eyes.
“When you have time, let's have a good sparring match. I want to see your true strength, kid.”
“Are you serious?” Chen Heng was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully.
“You!” Qi Longhu saw that Chen Heng didn't seem to be taking him seriously.
“I'm telling you, old man, I only used thirty percent of my strength when we sparred before!”
“Come on, come on! This old man will let you witness the power of Dragon Tiger Savage Strength now!”
Qi Longhu rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight, while Chen Fugui and the others quickly retreated, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.
“Big Brother Qi, forget it. If we fight, this courtyard will be gone.” Chen Heng waved his hand, not intending to spar with Qi Longhu here.
Even without weapons, the destructive power of two Tongxuan Martial Artists was quite terrifying.
Not to mention, both Chen Heng and Qi Longhu were extremely robust monsters.
“Also, since I've reached the Tongxuan Realm, can I learn the Dragon Tiger Savage Strength from you?”
“…” Qi Longhu fell silent. He suddenly realized that he might truly no longer be Chen Heng's opponent.
“Alright, come find me tomorrow, and I will teach you the Dragon Tiger Savage Strength.”
“Also, this kid insisted on coming to see you; you figure out how to handle him.”
Qi Longhu pointed to a young man standing in the corner, then turned and left in a huff.
“You are?” Chen Heng looked up and down at the young man in front of him, a little confused.
He didn't seem to know this person, did he?
“Liu Qingyun thanks his benefactor!”
With a thud, the young man knelt directly on the ground, kowtowing three times to Chen Heng.
“Hey!” Chen Heng quickly pulled him up, his mind momentarily unable to process what was happening.
Judging by this, he must have saved him at some point, right?
“Wait a minute, you're that kid from Shigou Village?”
Chen Heng looked up and down at the young man in front of him, still having a vague impression in his mind.
“No, why don't you just find a job at the White Tiger Hall? Why come looking for me?”
“Benefactor, I want to learn martial arts!” Liu Qingyun tried to kneel again but was grabbed by Chen Heng, preventing him from doing so.
“If you want to learn martial arts, don't come to me; go find Big Brother Qi!”
Chen Heng sighed; he really wasn't good at teaching others.
Seeing that the kid still wasn't saying anything, Chen Heng also had no good ideas.
He couldn't just kill him and bury him, could he?
The person came to express gratitude and seek tutelage, not to cause trouble.
“How about this, you can stay in the house first and do some chores within your capabilities.”
Chen Heng began to arrange things for Liu Qingyun.
He couldn't drive him away; this kid looked like a stubborn one.
“Yes!” Liu Qingyun tried to kneel again but was pulled up by Chen Heng once more.
“Old Wu!” Chen Heng shouted to the housekeeper.
“young master, your command.” Old Wu quickly came over.
“From now on, he is one of the Household Servants. Arrange accommodation and clothing for him.”
“Don't be polite with any work he can do; our family doesn't support idlers.”
“Yes.” Old Wu nodded and led Liu Qingyun into the backyard.
“young master, do you think Tianer can learn martial arts with you?”
Jing Tianer, no, she should be called Chen Tianer now. The Little Girl hid behind Jing Fan, peeking at Chen Heng with her small head.
“Come here.” Chen Heng squatted down and waved to Chen Tianer, but the Little Girl remained unmoved.
“Tianer, your Big Brother is calling you.” Jing Fan patted Chen Tianer's little head, comforting her.
“Woo…” Chen Tianer's little head shook like a rattle drum; she completely refused to approach Chen Heng.
It is said that children's senses are much more sensitive than adults', and Chen Tianer might just be sensing the murderous Qi on Chen Heng, which made her unwilling to approach him.
Ever since the White Tiger Geng Metal Saber reached Major Achievement, Chen Heng himself was like a sharp blade poised to strike.
Once Chen Heng's gaze fell upon someone, the feeling was like being pressed against the back by countless blades and having them at one's throat.
If one dared to move, the outcome would be death.
“Don't be afraid, I'm your Big Brother.” Chen Heng still smiled and waved at Chen Tianer.
Chen Tianer pouted, then bravely walked towards Chen Heng.
“Big Brother~” A soft, childish call of “Big Brother” made Chen Heng shiver all over.
Those watery eyes combined with that call of “Big Brother” had an extraordinary impact!
“Hehe.” Seeing that Chen Heng indeed had no intention of harming her, Chen Tianer giggled and hugged his little leg.
“Big Brother, hug!”
Chen Heng picked up the Little Girl and gently stroked her little head.
“Big Brother doesn't have any good welcome gifts, so you can keep this token with you.”
Chen Heng took out his vice envoy token, untied the red string, and hung it around the Little Girl's neck.
“Madam Jing, when you take Tianer out in the future, if you encounter any trouble, you can directly show my token.”
“No one in the entire Qiyang City would dare to touch you.”
Chen Heng's words were truly domineering.
However, what he said was not wrong, not only because of his position as a White Tiger Hall vice envoy.
It was also because Chen Heng's own strength was solid, which was the most crucial point.
Unlike Zhu Hongying, who relied on clever tricks to Break through to the Tongxuan Realm, her strength was pitifully weak.
She was only half a point stronger than an ordinary Huajin Realm martial artist.
Her ability to become the Hall Master of the Vermilion Bird Hall relied heavily on Gou Longxun's strong support.
