The Crazy Son-In-Law

Afterwards, Xiao Shun and Zhu Que went to the hotel restaurant with Yao Cen and had dinner. With nothing to do, they went out for a walk on the street.

As soon as they got on the street, Xiao Shun subconsciously sensed how many cultivators were around him, although he didn’t know Gu Baiyi, Yang Zhenuo and others had thought he was dead.

This was the territory of the Old School Society, so he was still a little more vigilant in his heart.

When they reached a crossroads, they suddenly heard a harsh brake sound.

He looked in the direction of the sound and immediately saw a somewhat familiar figure staggering recklessly across the road despite the red light.

It was Yang Tiancai, who had sold Xiao Shun a substandard pellet at the service area. He was still wearing the same outfit from that day, so Xiao Shun recognized him at a glance.

“Are you looking to die? Didn’t you see the red light, idiot!” The car owner who had nearly hit him stuck his head out and cursed.

Yang Tiancai ignored him, staggering onward, looking rather panicked.

Xiao Shun narrowed his eyes slightly, keeping his gaze following him. Soon he saw that after Yang Tiancai had just crossed the road, two cultivators walked over to meet him.

Seeing the two, Yang Tiancai was like seeing an enemy. He quickly turned and headed for another intersection.

The two cultivators followed closely behind, seemingly cautious about making a move on the busy street.

“You two go back to the hotel first. I saw an acquaintance and I’m going to say hello,” Xiao Shun said to Yao Cen and Zhu Que.

With that said, he strode towards Yang Tiancai without waiting for them to respond.

“Keep running, why did you stop?”

After turning into an alley, Yang Tiancai quickly slipped into a small lane. He had just walked a short distance when two figures suddenly flashed out of the shadows to block his path.

At the same time, the two people who had been following him had caught up, leaving him no way out.

“Gentlemen, the pills I sold you were also obtained from someone else. I really didn’t know the quality would be so poor. I was cheated too. At most, I’ll just refund your money,” Yang Tiancai said with a gulp.

“Refund the money and it’s over? Do you know my sister almost went berserk from taking your pill? She was bedridden for half a month before she could get up. How do we settle this account?” said a tall, shave-headed young man.

“I’ll compensate with money. As long as you let me go, how about one million?” Yang Tiancai gritted his teeth and said.

One million was a considerable amount for him. Even if the other party agreed, he couldn’t take it out. It was just a delaying tactic.

Although he priced each pill at 50, 000, there weren’t that many fools for him to cheat. If it wasn’t for the Hero Cup, with cultivators from all over rushing to Harrow, he wouldn’t have met so many usually.

“One million? Are you kidding?” The shave-headed man raised his eyebrows mockingly.

“It’s not about money. We don’t lack money. We just want one of your legs to appease my sister,” said a shapely young woman in a black cropped tank top at this time.

Yang Tiancai gasped. Trying to sound fierce, he said, “Don’t bully people too much. Business is built on a willing buyer and willing seller. I’ve sold so many pills, and only your junior sister had a problem after taking one. It could be an issue with her physique. We can’t definitively say there was something wrong with my pill.”

“Still dare to equivocate?” The young woman flew up and kicked him to the ground.

Yang Tiancai was also a cultivator, but his cultivation was too low. Having already been injured by the four earlier, he no longer had the strength to resist. He curled up on the ground, panting heavily.

“Do your worst… just kill me.”

“Hmph, you think we don’t dare? What’s it to us to slaughter you?” The young woman stepped on his head viciously and said through gritted teeth.

Cough! Cough!

At this moment, two coughs came from the alley entrance. The few reflexively looked towards the sound.

The alley was dim, but they were cultivators with vision superior to ordinary people. They quickly saw a young man in a white T-shirt, black casual pants, and white flats leisurely approaching.

It was naturally Xiao Shun, who had followed Yang Tiancai here all the way. He had heard their entire conversation.

Although Yang Tiancai was unscrupulous, he didn’t deserve to die. Hearing the young woman’s tone, it seemed she really would kill him, so Xiao Shun decided to show himself.

After Xiao Shun approached, Yang Tiancai quickly recognized him and looked at him as if seeing a savior.

“Brother, I’ve fallen on hard times today. Please help me.”

He naturally didn’t think Xiao Shun was a match for the four. But as long as a fight broke out, he’d have a chance to escape.

Hearing the two knew each other, the young woman and the others became wary of Xiao Shun.

“Are you going to stand up for him?” the shave-headed man asked Xiao Shun gloomily.

“No, he cheated me out of eight hundred bucks a few days ago. I’m here to settle accounts with him too. You guys beat him up, I’ll just watch,” Xiao Shun smiled faintly with his hands in his pockets.

Yang Tiancai’s heart sank instantly. He sighed inwardly, it seemed he was finished today.

“But don’t beat him to death. Leave him half alive. I haven’t vented yet,” Xiao Shun added.

The young woman and the others glanced at each other, then unleashed a storm of fists and feet on Yang Tiancai. Cultivators had precise control over their strength. Indeed, they didn’t take Yang Tiancai’s life.

After they left, Yang Tiancai hugged his head and lay motionless on the ground.

“Alright, stop playing dead.”

Xiao Shun could tell those people didn’t really intend to kill him. They didn’t even hit his vital points. They probably just wanted to teach him a lesson.

“Can you get up? Get going if you can get up,” Xiao Shun said, seeing him lying still.

“You… you’re not going to hit me?” Yang Tiancai asked timidly.

“It was only eight hundred bucks. Not worth it,” Xiao Shun chuckled.

Yang Tiancai lifted his head slightly from between his arms and looked around. After confirming only Xiao Shun was left, he finally let out a long breath.

“Little brother, you have no sense of justice. Why didn’t you help me just now?” he said painfully, gritting his teeth.

“Why would I help you after you cheated me out of eight hundred bucks?” Xiao Shun said.

“But you just said it was only eight hundred bucks.”

“Two different things. You cheating me out of eight hundred bucks doesn’t warrant me giving you a beating, but I have no reason to help you either, right? We’re not close.” Xiao Shun said.

Yang Tiancai wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. With an agonized expression, he said, “… You make a good point.”

He tried to get up from the ground several times, but his leg injuries were too severe and he couldn’t make it.From NôvelDrama.Org.

“Where do you live? I’ll take you home,” Xiao Shun said.

Yang Tiancai looked at him in surprise for a moment, then gave a wry smile. “Phoenix Street, not far from here.”

Xiao Shun walked over and propped him up to head out of the alley.
