Chen Jiuyang said, "Stop."
Seeing that Chen Jiuyang, a person of extraordinary attire, had spoken, the tattooed man waved his hand and told the thugs to stop.
The tattooed man chuckled, "Does this gentleman want to repay Chen Xuecheng's debt?"
Chen Jiuyang said indifferently, "I only said I would help out, when did I say I would repay his debt?"
The tattooed man's face darkened, "Are you fucking messing with me?"
Chen Jiuyang said, "Come out and deal with these people."
As Chen Jiuyang's voice fell, Deng Zun and his disciples emerged from all directions. They were all strong men in martial robes, at least fifty of them.
The tattooed man's face suddenly turned pale. He had run into a steel plate.
Deng Zun, taking the lead, said, "Young Master Chen has spoken. Deal with these hooligans and thugs. Just don't kill them."
As the words fell, dozens of people swarmed forward, severely beating the tattooed man and his dozen or so men. They were then thrown to the roadside, with 120 called to pick them up. Meanwhile, Deng Zun reported them to the Six Doors to have them arrested.
The tattooed man and his group were involved in violent, gang-related debt collection. They represented Chen Xuecheng in self-defense. After dealing with these thugs, the Six Doors and Deng Zun bid farewell amicably.
Others might not know, but how could the people of the Six Doors not know that such a great deity as Chen Jiuyang lived here?
After all, Marquis Feng, as one of the top two Grandmasters in Fengcheng, had been famous for many years and had never engaged in bullying or oppression. He had a good working relationship with the Six Doors. Thus, the Six Doors naturally knew that Chen Jiuyang, Marquis Feng's only disciple, was here.
Chen Xuecheng and the old couple, seeing Chen Jiuyang summon dozens of people with a single word to beat the debt collectors to the ground, broke out in cold sweat.
It turned out that Chen Jiuyang not only had money but also power, influence, and people.
Instantly, the family's attitude towards Chen Jiuyang changed.
After the cleanup, Chen Jiuyang said, "Disperse. Deng Zun, stay."
The old couple helped Chen Xuecheng up to the plastic shanty house on the second floor, not daring to find any more excuses to mooch off Chen Jianmin and Zhang Xiuzhen's room on the first floor.
Deng Zun asked, "Young Master Chen, what is it?"
"You've been following me for some time, and you've handled all sorts of matters very well," Chen Jiuyang said.
Deng Zun was originally the owner of a martial arts school. He owed the Zhong family a favor and had acted for Chen Jiuyang, after which he was subdued by Chen Jiuyang. In recent days, whether it was driving, running errands, or arranging for dozens of people to protect his family near his home, Chen Jiuyang was very satisfied with all the matters, big and small. He felt it was time to promote Deng Zun's strength.
"Today, I shall impart to you a cultivation technique, the 'Taiyang Sanyi Gong.' This technique can allow you to cultivate to the Earth Realm." Chen Jiuyang said.
Whether a person has talent or not depends on whether they can enter the Yellow Realm through martial arts. As long as they can enter the Yellow Realm, their aptitude is sufficient to enter the Earth Realm. What they lack are cultivation techniques and resources.
Upon hearing that Chen Jiuyang was imparting a cultivation technique that could lead to the Earth Realm, Deng Zun trembled with excitement and knelt on one knee, saying emotionally, "Thank you, Young Master Chen, for bestowing this technique!"
After imparting the technique, Chen Jiuyang also threw him a bottle of Pure Yang Qi Replenishing Pills. "There are nine pills inside. Each pill can sustain your true qi consumption for nine days. You should be able to enter the Profound Realm within about half a month."
Deng Zun could not be more excited, wishing he could die for Chen Jiuyang on the spot. "Young Master Chen, I will cultivate diligently."
Chen Jiuyang waved his hand, "You may go."
The night was unbearably hot. Those living in the shanty houses could only buy a fan. However, the old man and old woman could not withstand even the fan. They had to shamelessly come down to use the air conditioning. Fearing they might provoke Chen Jiuyang, the two old folks brought their own sleeping mats and blankets to sleep on the floor in the living room downstairs.
Chen Jiuyang was speechless. "You guys, just sleep in my parents' room. Mom and Dad can sleep in Zixuan's room."
"Our grandson is so good," the old man and old woman said, their old faces filled with smiles.
Whoever has the stronger fist speaks.
"Rumble!"
The sound of helicopter rotors echoed. A helicopter landed on the road outside Chen Jiuyang's courtyard, and Yao Zixuan alighted from it.
"Zixuan is back."
Chen Jianmin and Zhang Xiuzhen called out enthusiastically. In the couple's eyes, Yao Zixuan was a girl from a wealthy family, and it was normal for her to drive or take a helicopter.
"I'm a little late getting back today because I had a lot of things to do." Yao Zixuan, upon arriving, threw herself into Chen Jiuyang's arms and sat on his lap.
The old couple was stunned. Was this their granddaughter-in-law? She was too rich! Did their Chen family only turn their fortunes around because Chen Jiuyang found a girlfriend from a wealthy family?
Chen Jiuyang knew that in Feng Province, it was not just anyone who could ride a helicopter just because they had money. Only the Six Doors, Grandmasters, and government officials had the privilege of using aircraft.
Chen Jiuyang asked, "Zixuan, why are you using my master's helicopter?"
"Hmph hmph." Yao Zixuan pouted coquettishly. "Master saw that it was too troublesome for me to drive two hours back to Fengcheng every day, so he let me use his helicopter. This way, it only takes me half an hour to get back to Fengcheng, which is much faster."
Chen Jiuyang said with a smile, "It seems your master really dotes on you."
"Of course." Yao Zixuan was happy. Then she noticed the old couple. "Jiuyang, who are these?"
"These are my grandparents. They will be living with us from now on," Chen Jiuyang said casually.
Yao Zixuan immediately stood up and respectfully called out, "Hello, Grandpa and Grandma."
The old man and old woman nodded and responded with silly smiles.
However, Yao Zixuan sensed something from Chen Jiuyang's tone and was not very enthusiastic towards the two old folks, merely greeting them politely.
After clinging to Chen Jiuyang for a while, Yao Zixuan went into Chen Jiuyang's room to wash up. Zhang Xiuzhen had told her in advance that her room was being used by Chen Jianmin and Zhang Xiuzhen, and her belongings had already been moved to Chen Jiuyang's room.
Yao Zixuan was also happy about this, as the unspoken barrier between them had already been broken.
Chen Jiuyang sat in the living room, counting on his fingers. The time for Zhong Ali, Wang Chongyun, and Wang Tian's Five Poisons Fate-Breaking Needles was approaching. They were about to die. Wu Dayong, the witness, was poisoned and killed by Zhong Zhuiwu. The possibility of legally proving his father's innocence based on evidence was slim.
However, his father could not remain on bail indefinitely. He would ask Ji Lengyue later if there was a way to completely clear his father's name.
"Who!"
Chen Jiuyang's hair stood on end. A sense of mortal danger washed over him. He rushed out of the door and roared.
"Hehehehe." An old man leaning on a cane appeared before Chen Jiuyang, exuding a terrifying and dangerous aura. "Young man, you're keeping a woman in a golden house behind our Saintess's back. I think you're looking for death."
What Chen Jiuyang had worried about had finally come to pass. The trouble he had inadvertently stumbled upon had placed him in danger.
This old man was at least at the Earth Realm cultivation level!
