Chapter 187: Madman Xu Takes a Disciple
A few days later, at the Xu Family Mansion.
Although it was already late at night, Xu Xian still hadn’t slept. The cooperation between the Xu Family and the Hao Family did not bring them any benefits but instead led to resource sharing.
Last time, Hao Dahai secretly drugged someone, causing Madman Xu Kan to escape. He hadn’t gone to the Hao Family to settle this account yet.
Although it was under urgent circumstances, Xu Kan was indeed a ruthless man.
Honestly, he hated him to the bone. If it weren’t for the Xu Family’s three brothers setting a trap a few years ago to capture Xu Kan and then securing him with the Profound Iron Chain, the dungeon wouldn’t have been able to hold him.
Xu Fei had just come out of his father’s room, feeling a bit frustrated. The current situation of the Xu Family was very severe, yet as the Young Master Xu, there was nothing he could do.
After returning to his room, Xu Fei lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, not knowing what he was thinking.
Suddenly, it seemed like a gust of wind blew past, causing the windows to rattle. Xu Fei got up from the bed, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, glanced outside, and was about to close the window.
At this moment, the lights in the room suddenly went out, and a black shadow quickly slipped into the room.
"What’s going on? Did the power suddenly go out?" Xu Fei muttered as he walked to the switch, intending to try turning it on and off a few times.
But when he turned around, he suddenly saw someone sitting by his bed, almost scaring him into falling to the ground.
"You... are you a human or a ghost?" Xu Fei asked warily.
"Ha ha, you’re the ghost. Can’t even recognize your own ancestor?" At this moment, a deep and a bit heavy voice came from the bed.
This person was clearly an elder.
"Ancestor? What ancestor, don’t try to scare me. My ancestors have long been dead. Don’t tell me, you’re a ghost!"
Even though Xu Fei said this, the scene truly resembled a horror movie, the kind where ghosts appear, windows rattling, and lights going out.
"You don’t even recognize your great-grandfather?"
Xu Kan, somewhat angry, stood up directly and walked towards Xu Fei. Then he threw something in his hand, hitting the light switch.
The light suddenly turned on with a swoosh.
At this moment, Xu Fei’s eyes widened. Wasn’t this the recently escaped ancestor Xu Kan? Oh my god, why did he come back? Could it be to take revenge on them?
Xu Kan’s intentions were twistedly narrated by Xu Xian to the descendants of the Xu Family, so in Xu Fei’s heart, Xu Kan was a heinous person.
His mother was killed by this old man, but he didn’t know the truth.
"You... you’re the madman who killed my mother?" Looking at Xu Kan, who had his hair and beard neatly groomed and looked refreshed, he couldn’t quite believe it.
A man over a hundred years old looked like he was in his fifties; it turned out the previous rumors weren’t false. This old fellow could actually concoct such a Divine Medicine.
"Did Xu Xian brainwash you guys? What a bastard. Our Xu Family’s generational industry is sure to perish in his hands." Xu Kan said angrily.
Speaking of Xu Xian, Xu Kan got furious. If it weren’t for him imprisoning him for over a decade, the Xu Family might have become the top among the four major families of the South Sea by now, instead of being at the bottom.
"Heh, you’re the one who ruined the family. My father says you’re a madman. Get out of my room, or I’ll call someone." Xu Fei threatened in panic, continuously retreating to make it easier to escape later.
"Haha, if you think you’re faster than me, try it?" Xu Kan said calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Fei actually started running.
But after just two steps, he felt something press the spot three inches below his ribs on his back, and suddenly he felt as if all his strength had been drained; he couldn’t even move.
"I told you, you’re not faster than me."
The old man laughed proudly, walked in front of Xu Fei, quickly grabbed his hand, and pinched the acupoint, then injected a powerful Qi into him.
"Alas, although not a great seed, he’s still a descendant of the Xu Family!" Xu Kan muttered, somewhat disappointed.
Hao Shuai was a good seed, but after all, he belonged to the Hao Family. If they trained him into a master, it might lead to the Hao Family swallowing up the Xu Family.
So, after much consideration, Xu Kan decided to pass on the techniques to Xu Fei while casually dealing with Hao Shuai by teaching him a few moves.
"Kid, do you want the Xu Family to flourish, do you want to become the strongest in South Sea City?" Xu Kan suddenly said seriously.
Xu Fei was first taken aback, but remembering the mysterious moves from earlier, he had some belief.
The Xu Family’s current situation was dire. If the old man was really that powerful and passed on the techniques to him, wouldn’t there be hope?
"I want to, but... are you sure you can help me?" Xu Fei was half-believing, half-doubting; his father had said Xu Kan was a madman, so he remained cautious.
"Damn, if I couldn’t, would I be full and come looking for you in the middle of the night?" Xu Kan, being short-tempered, got a bit angry seeing the boy’s distrust.
"Oh? That’s... why are you helping me?" Xu Fei wasn’t stupid. The old man coming over in the middle of the night couldn’t possibly be just to help him gain strength.
"I’ll say it again, I’m helping the Xu Family, not you! Understood?" Xu Kan rolled his eyes at Xu Fei: "Alright, every night at ten, on the lawn in the Xu Family’s backyard, if you want to be strong, show up."
After saying this, Xu Kan lightly tapped Xu Fei on his body, then jumped out of the window and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Xu Fei collapsed onto the ground with a thud, but he instinctively clenched his fist and suddenly felt full of power.
What was happening?
The old man’s scene just now really surprised him; this person was indeed a madman, moving so fast and even able to perform Acupoint techniques.
Wow! Am I, Xu Fei, about to rise?
Thinking of this, Xu Fei became excited, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the next evening.
In the Hao Family Mansion.
"What, when did this kid Chen Tianlong become so powerful to even break all of Hao Kan’s meridians?" Old Man Hao Dahai was evidently shocked; their enormous Hao Family lineup was taken down one by one by Chen Tianlong.
First Hao Kan, and now Hao Shuai. At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before all the masters behind the Hao Family would be finished off by Chen Tianlong.
"Dad, I don’t know what happened either. Mo Shaoyun and I saw it with our own eyes. Uncle Hao Kan was hit in the chest by a punch from Chen Tianlong, causing all his meridians to break."
Hao Jian looked distressed, initially thinking that this would be the perfect opportunity to eliminate Chen Tianlong, but instead, they lost a great general.
"Hiss..."
Hao Dahai took a deep breath. Though their family’s backing was strong and had two senior experts, those seniors were busy with cultivation and disinterested in mundane matters.
