Old Five is a Goose.

Chapter 857 The True Freedom

Tan Zhenman stared blankly at Xi Li, and after a long while, she said, "If it's really as you said, someone helped, then it could only be the one who taught me..."

Tan Zhenman didn't know how to address Mo Wuji. Calling him big brother was obviously inappropriate, and calling him master, she had refused to become his disciple. Rejecting Mo Wuji as her master might be the most regretful thing she'd ever done in her life.

"Your master?" Xi Li asked.

Tan Zhenman smiled bitterly and shook her head. "No, although he taught me skills, I refused to become his disciple."

"..." Xi Li looked at Tan Zhenman in disbelief. If such a strong person wanted to take him as a disciple, he wouldn't refuse even if he were beaten to death. He really didn't understand what Tan Zhenman was thinking.

Seeing Xi Li's surprised gaze, Tan Zhenman sighed and said, "At that time, I only wanted to go to Di Yuan Star and didn't want to stay on Earth at all. That senior wanted to take me as a disciple, but he needed me to stay on Earth."

"Ah?" Xi Li didn't understand either. The Earth's environment was so terribly polluted, even to the point of near collapse, so what was the point of continuing to stay on Earth? Despite this, he simply couldn't understand why Tan Zhenman would give up being that senior's disciple in order to go to Di Yuan Star.

"Senior Xi Li, what should we do now?" Tan Zhenman had been marrow cleansed by Mo Wuji, but she had almost no fighting experience and didn't know if she should stay here or leave.

Xi Li said in a deep voice, "We should leave now. If it was really that senior who saved us, then Xia Zhi of the Xia family will definitely be taken care of by him. Otherwise, there's no point in him saving us, because as soon as we leave here, Xia Zhi will kill us. If we leave this plaza and Xia Zhi hasn't appeared, then the fact is very clear."

"Ding-a-ling!" Xi Li's phone suddenly rang.

Xi Li quickly answered the phone and only listened to a few words before hanging up, his face filled with shock.

"Senior Xi Li, what's wrong?" Tan Zhenman asked quickly.

Xi Li took a breath and still said with a strange expression, "Just now, the Federation Space Navigation sent news that the Xia family's pharmaceutical industry in the Lianmai District of Jingyang City has been completely destroyed, not even a bit of dregs are left. In addition, all adult males of the Xia family have been slaughtered..."

Tan Zhenman and Xi Li looked at each other. Even though Tan Zhenman was still in school, she was very clear about how terrifying the Xia family was. With the sudden appearance of Xia Zhi, the Xia family was definitely the number one family on Earth. The strongest in strength and the best at making money. Now, the Xia family had been wiped out in a matter of breaths. How terrifying a power was needed to do this?

"Zhenman, where is the person who taught you martial arts from? Where does he live? Can I visit him?" Xi Li looked at Tan Zhenman eagerly.

If they could persuade Mo Wuji to go to Di Yuan Star, then the Earth's transfer of base would be a success. With such a strong person going to Di Yuan Star, those fierce beasts would definitely not be his opponents.

Tan Zhenman shook her head. "I only know that his name is Mo Wuji. Oh, right, he was brought to the school by one of my classmates..."

Just as Tan Zhenman said this, her phone also rang. She quickly answered the phone, and when she heard Xian Zhiyang's voice, she became excited.

"Zhiyang, where are you?" Tan Zhenman's tone was so excited that it trembled. She couldn't find Mo Wuji, only Xian Zhiyang could find Mo Wuji.

Xian Zhiyang was a little dazed for a few seconds when he heard Tan Zhenman's incredibly excited tone in the phone, before saying, "I'm in Guicheng City..."

When did he become so familiar with Tan Zhenman? She was actually calling him Zhiyang directly? The tone of her voice was as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years?

"I'll come find you right away, you won't leave, will you?" Tan Zhenman's tone was still difficult to control.

Xian Zhiyang looked at the phone speechlessly. Was he looking for Tan Zhenman, or was Tan Zhenman looking for him? How did it sound like Tan Zhenman was looking for him?

He quickly said, "I won't leave. Oh, right, Tan Zhenman, I have something I want to ask you for help with..."

"What is it? Just tell me, as long as I can help," Tan Zhenman said without hesitation.

"That..." Xian Zhiyang hesitated for a moment, but still said, "I'm short of some money and want to borrow five million from you. You know, all my money has gone into buying land. When my land price rises, I'll pay you back immediately."

Tan Zhenman said directly without even thinking, "Okay, send me your card number, and I'll transfer it to you with my phone right away."

Watching Tan Zhenman hang up the phone, Xi Li wondered who this was that Tan Zhenman was so excited about.

"Senior Xi Li, the person who just called was my classmate. He was the one who brought that Senior Mo to our school. It was because he brought Senior Mo there that I met Senior Mo and got my opportunity," Tan Zhenman quickly explained.

Xi Li was just as excited. "Then can we go find this classmate now?"

"Beep-beep!" Tan Zhenman's phone received a message sound. It was the card number Xian Zhiyang had sent.

"Yes, he's in Guicheng City. I've already told him, and we'll go there right away." Tan Zhenman said as she copied the card number and transferred the money to Xian Zhiyang.

"Okay, let's go now." Xi Li didn't even have time to say goodbye to the staff here before hurrying out of the square.

When he and Tan Zhenman stood outside the Guanjing Plaza and there was no danger, Xi Li knew that Xia Zhi of the Xia family had definitely been killed by that senior.

...

After Xian Zhiyang hung up the phone, he remembered that he had forgotten to ask Tan Zhenman if she had passed the three-star assessment.

It was really because Tan Zhenman seemed a little too enthusiastic when he called her, so enthusiastic that he thought he and Tan Zhenman were good friends.

"Did you borrow the money?" Xian Dongxi asked before Xian Zhiyang could consider whether to make another call to ask.

"Beep-beep!" The phone received a message. Xian Zhiyang looked at the message and immediately said with a stern face, "The money has arrived. Let's sign the contract. Once the contract is signed, I'll transfer the money to you."

With cash, everything else was easy. The transfer contract had been prepared long ago, and in a short time, everyone signed the contract. Xian Zhiyang transferred the cash to Xian Dongxi and the others.

After getting the money, Xian Dongxi's face looked better. He looked at Xian Zhiyang with a smile and said, "Zhiyang, it's not easy to make money now. You can't compare yourself to the young masters of those big families just because you went to a big city university."

Xian Zhiyang said coldly, "It's none of your business how I spend my money. I won't see you out, please leave."

"Brother, something seems wrong..." At this time, Xian Zhiyang's sister ran in, her face full of shock.

"What's wrong?" Xian Donghai asked.

"The sun is out, and the sand haze is gone. Not only that, but there's no strange smell in the air..."

Without Xian Zhiyang's sister continuing to speak, everyone in the room rushed out. No one remembered the last time the sun was out.

The sun was indeed out, no, it should be said that the sand haze blocking the sun had been swept away. Everyone could only watch as all the sand haze seemed to be sucked away by something. Not only was the sand haze sucked away, but the strange smell in the air was also sucked away.

The sunlight that hadn't been seen for who knows how long reappeared in sight. The sky was blue and the air was fresh, like a paradise.

Not only was everyone in the Xian family looking up at the sky, but at this moment, almost everyone in the world rushed out, looking up at the blue sky and breathing in the fresh air.

Cheers spread to every corner, and countless people even knelt on the ground, devoutly thanking God for returning their home to them.

At this moment, everyone felt what true freedom was. Being able to breathe the air freely was true freedom. There were no metaphors or personifications, just truly clean air.

"The sand haze is really gone..." Xian Dongxi suddenly understood. He turned back to look at Xian Zhiyang and Xian Donghai. He only had one feeling, which was that he had been schemed against by Xian Donghai.

"Donghai, did you guys know this would happen and wanted to scheme against us?" Xian Dongxi's heart was filled with endless regret. He wanted two or three million, but he had lost who knows how many billions.

He knew very well how cheap the land Xian Zhiyang bought was.

Xian Zhiyang clenched his fists excitedly. He didn't even need to ask Tan Zhenman. He knew that every word Mo Wuji said to him was true. The Earth's environment was better than it was in the century before last. What was the point of going to Di Yuan Star?

He had bought a large amount of land, and now he was finally going to make a fortune.

...

Tan Zhenman, who hadn't even boarded the plane, also stopped. Not only her, but everyone in Qishu City had noticed. In a short time, the sand haze above Qishu City was quickly sucked away, and blue skies, white clouds, sunshine, and green grass returned to the world. The strange-smelling air from before had completely disappeared. At this moment, the air was so fresh that it even had a hint of sweetness.

Xi Li also clenched his fists excitedly, staring at the blue sky. If the Earth recovered, was there any need to go to Di Yuan Star?

"I understand!"

Tan Zhenman and Xi Li said these four words at the same time. Tan Zhenman knew what Xi Li understood. Xi Li understood why Mo Wuji had told her not to go to Di Yuan Star. Because the Earth would change and return to the luxurious environment of blue skies, white clouds, no pollution, and no strange smells.

She also understood why Mo Wuji wanted Xian Zhiyang to buy land. Once the Earth's environment recovered, the price of land on Earth would skyrocket by a hundred or even a thousand times. She didn't know how much land Xian Zhiyang had bought, but she was sure that Xian Zhiyang's current assets might even be more than her Tan family's.

"If that senior did it, he's too powerful..." Xi Li murmured to himself, his body trembling with excitement.

Tan Zhenman also clenched her fists and said affirmatively, "Senior Xi Li, the Earth can restore blue skies and white clouds, allowing us to breathe clean air. Only that senior, it must be that senior who did it, because he said..."

At this moment, in Tan Zhenman's heart, Mo Wuji was already like an immortal. She was even more beside herself that she had actually received Mo Wuji's guidance.
