Hua Yi Xia Li

Chapter 21 You're Out of Luck

Xicheng Hu Ge was completely stunned. He never expected that his one hundred and fifty to sixty brothers would not be a match for Long Xiao.

Long Xiao threw down the baseball bat in his hand and turned to look at Xicheng Hu Ge, saying, "Don't you want to come over and try yourself?"

"Better not, I'm no match for you."

"Hmph, good that you know. Tell me, why did you ask me here? Hurry up, I have other things to attend to."

Xicheng Hu Ge took out an agreement and handed it to Long Xiao, telling him that Jin Shaohuai had given him an agreement and entrusted him to collect a debt from Long Xiao.

When Long Xiao saw the bloodstains on the agreement, he remembered how Xiao Hui and Young Master Jin had colluded to hit him and then forced him to sign.

"This Young Master Jin is truly shameless, forging an agreement and still wanting compensation."

"Where are Young Master Jin and Xiao Hui now?" Long Xiao asked.

Xicheng Hu Ge looked up at the third floor. Xiao Hui and Feng Yuyan, who were standing by the window on the third floor, had long since been scared and hid after seeing Long Xiao defeat over a hundred people.

"Xiao Hui was on the third floor just now. My villa only has one entrance, so he should still be inside the villa. Jin Shaohuai isn't here; I don't know where he is."

Long Xiao nodded and said, "You should know what to do."

"Uh, Xiao Hui calls me his uncle, can you please..."

Before Xicheng Hu Ge could finish speaking, Long Xiao's fist struck out. Xicheng Hu Ge dodged Long Xiao's punch with all his might, but he was still half a beat too slow.

With a crack, Xicheng Hu Ge's right shoulder was shattered by Long Xiao.

The intense pain made Xicheng Hu Ge tremble uncontrollably. Long Xiao snorted coldly and said, "I want to see a satisfactory answer. Don't give me any other explanations."

Long Xiao's domineering aura shocked Xicheng Hu Ge. He believed that if he pleaded for Xiao Hui again, Long Xiao would smash his head with a single punch.

Five minutes later, Long Xiao sat in Xicheng Hu Ge's study, sipping tea and eating fruit, with Xicheng Hu Ge and two beautiful women serving him.

The door was pushed open with a bang, and Xiao Hui, Feng Yuyan, and their three companions were shoved in by several burly men.

"Long Xiao, you scumbag! If you dare to touch me, I'll make sure your whole family has no peace!" Seeing Long Xiao, Xiao Hui roared angrily.

He was truly terrified.

Long Xiao spat out the grape skin from his mouth and smiled, saying, "How he's dealt with is Ah Hu's business. It has nothing to do with me; I'm just an observer."

Xicheng Hu Ge cursed inwardly, *This kid is truly not a good person. I just wanted to beg for mercy, and you broke my shoulder. If I let Xiao Hui off, you'll kill me.*

Xicheng Hu Ge waved his hand and said, "Break their arms and legs. How dare they cause trouble for Brother Long? We're already being lenient by not killing you."

Screams echoed incessantly, and soon, the sounds stopped. Xiao Hui and the others had fainted from the pain.

"Brother Long, do you think this is a satisfactory resolution?" Xicheng Hu Ge asked in a low voice.

Long Xiao nodded and said, "It's alright. Since you're working so hard, I'll tell you something. You've been cursed, and you're entangled with malevolent energy. Your health will deteriorate, and you'll be plagued by bad luck. You might not live for another week."

Xicheng Hu Ge had been in the underworld since he was young and only believed in brute force. He didn't believe in superstitious things at all. However, he didn't dare to offend Long Xiao, so he had to play along.

"Is that true? You scared me to death, Brother Long! Can you lift it?"

Long Xiao nodded and asked Xicheng Hu Ge to find yellow paper and a brush. He then drew a talisman in a rather makeshift manner.

This was Long Xiao's first time drawing a talisman, and it looked a bit clumsy. However, after he finished, he saw dark red energy emanating from the talisman, and he knew that this talisman could effectively suppress the malevolent energy.

Xicheng Hu Ge respectfully folded the talisman and put it in his pocket. After thanking Long Xiao profusely, he escorted Long Xiao out of the villa.

As Long Xiao waved goodbye to Xicheng Hu Ge, he took a closer look and found that the blackness of the malevolent energy on him had receded by half.

The 'Demon-Exorcising Talisman' worked very well. As Long Xiao walked away, he pondered the talisman techniques in the 'Dragon Scripture.' After a while, he realized that with his current strength, he could only draw a few simple talismans; he couldn't draw others.

Xicheng Hu Ge watched Long Xiao hail a taxi and leave. He then took out the 'Demon-Exorcising Talisman' from his pocket and threw it into the grass by the entrance.

Long Xiao returned to the Lin family with a disappointed expression. As soon as he entered, he saw Nangong Xia's family sitting on the sofa with dark expressions. Nangong Yue and Lin Shijie also looked displeased.

Long Xiao was about to go to the kitchen to cook when Nangong Yue called out, "Long Xiao, stop right there."

"Mom, is something wrong?" Long Xiao asked.

Nangong Xia glared at Long Xiao with narrowed eyes and asked, "Long Xiao, have I, Nangong Xia, offended you in any way that you would try to kill my child?"

Long Xiao was stunned by Nangong Xia's accusation and retorted, "Aunt Xia, I have no enmity with Xue Kai. How could I harm him?"

"Doctor Li said my son's old injury relapsed because he ate something he shouldn't have. If he hadn't been treated promptly, he would have died this morning."

Nangong Xia spoke with righteous indignation, completely forgetting that the divine doctor Li Yizhen had treated her son as a favor to Long Xiao.

"Aunt Xia, Xue Kai's old injury did relapse because he ate the medicinal diet I made for Lin Xuan. Yesterday, I stopped Xue Kai from eating the chicken leg, but you didn't listen. Can that be blamed on me?"

"You knew that if Xue Kai ate the chicken leg, his old injury would relapse. Why didn't you snatch it from him?" Nangong Yue asked sternly.

No matter how Long Xiao explained, Nangong Xia's family and Nangong Yue and Lin Shijie all believed that Long Xiao had intentionally let Xue Kai eat the chicken leg and was trying to harm him.

Continuous scolding. Long Xiao knew he couldn't defend himself and remained silent, letting them berate him.

Seeing Long Xiao's silence, Nangong Yue became even angrier and pointed to the door, saying, "Long Xiao, you ungrateful freeloading scumbag, get out! Get out of our Lin family."

Forced to do so, Long Xiao turned and was about to leave when Lin Xuan walked in from outside.

After understanding the situation, Lin Xuan said, "Aunt Xia, it's not Long Xiao's fault yesterday. Xue Kai insisted on eating it. If you didn't let him, you would have caused a scene."

"Lin Xuan, why are you speaking up for this freeloading scumbag?"

"Mom, I'm telling the truth. This matter is not Long Xiao's responsibility. Besides, Long Xiao found Doctor Li for you. Without him, Doctor Li wouldn't have treated Xue Kai."

Nangong Xia looked at Long Xiao and felt that Long Xiao had indeed helped them.

"Hmph, on Doctor Li's account, I won't pursue this matter further. But don't expect me to thank this freeloading scumbag."

Nangong Xia's family ate at the Lin's house before leaving. Long Xiao originally wanted to leave the Lin family, but when he saw Lin Xuan, this plan was abandoned.

In the afternoon, Long Xiao hid in his room, constantly studying the 'Dragon Scripture.' He increasingly felt the profoundness of the 'Dragon Scripture' and the knowledge it contained, which far surpassed modern science.

In the evening, just as Long Xiao was about to cook, he received a call from Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan knew that Long Xiao was in a bad mood and asked him to accompany her out for dinner to relax.
