Chapter 1087
(Unedited)
…
Hu Wanxiong has already stopped searching his surroundings and quickly takes a step back. He could already feel that something is wrong with the drunken man who is slowly approaching him.
As someone who grew up in the streets, Hu Wanxiong could tell if someone is really drunk or not. But of course, it\'s not something that he could perfectly tell in just one look. So he began to scrutinize the drunken man.
But from one look, he could tell that the guy is really some random man who just got drunk.
"Hey, you… Do… you… have some… food? *Hic..." the drunken guy said while extending his hand at Hu Wanxiong.
Hu Wanxiong showed an annoyed expression and quickly turns to his side and looks around to see if someone is in the area.
Upon noticing that no one is around, he suddenly takes out a small blade from his sleeve.
Then his expression turned sinister as he glared at the drunken guy.
"You want some change, right? Well, you see… It\'s been a while since I get to do this. And since my target got away… you can count this as your bad luck…" he said as he takes a few steps forward.
The drunken man seems to feel that something is wrong, so he lifted his face and looks at the person in front of him. Upon seeing the small blade in Hu Wanxiong\'s hand, the drunken guy suddenly panics.
"Who… Why… why are you doing this to me? I… I think you are… a… a teacher from… Ogden… Academy, right?" the drunken man said in a slurring tone as he staggered backward.
"Hehe… I may be a teacher, so I could say that I hate drunken men like you… do you know that?" he said as he takes another step.
This step is such a wide stride that he suddenly appears in front of the drunken man.
Suddenly without hesitation, he plunges the blade towards the stomach of the drunken man.
When he did that, the drunken man suddenly lifted his eyes and showed a grin on his face.
Suddenly, his surroundings were turned into green smoke which envelops everything around him. Hu Wanxioing began to panic as he takes another step back. But he found himself in a never-ending mist of green.
"Where… Where are you!" he shouted while waving his knife.
But no one answered. Suddenly from the green smoke, an elongated long figure appears. That figure slowly turned into a giant serpent. When Hu Wanxiong saw the serpent… his eyes immediately bulges and sweat began forming on his forehead.
Nobody knows it and he did not tell anyone but he is actually afraid of snakes. Even his older brother did not know it.
"So, you\'re afraid of snakes… Hiss…" the snake suddenly talks as it slithers from side to side and slowly approaches Hu Wanxiong.
"Stop! Do not come near me!" Hu Wanxiong shouted.
He already had forgotten how to use his Ki because of his fear and his body continuously shivers.
"Tell… Me… Hiss… Why are you after the young boy… of the Xin\'s… Hiss…"
Hu Wanxiong is already in a panic and did not know how to think straight. And because the snake asked that question, he suddenly blurted his purpose.
"I… I want him dead! He… He is the cause that my brother has gotten crippled. Because of him, and his father Xin Jong, my brother was crippled. So I want him dead! It was him that cripples my brother in that dungeon 5 years ago!" Hu Wanxiong shouted with all his might as if releasing his pent-up anger.
After saying that, the snake seems to have stopped and just stares at him. The eyes of the snake look deadly. It\'s like it is going to kill him with one bite if he did not escape.
At this moment, Xin Ja who has cast the illusion array to trap Hu Wanxiong stood rooted to the ground. He did not know how he is feeling right now. His emotion is a little bit unstable as he once again recalls what had happened 5 years ago.
That bloody day that for the first time he used his skills to hurt someone. It was the first time that he began to see himself as a monster.
He has pretended to be a drunken man to know why this guy is following him. In fact, when the guy failed him, he feels that it was unfair. Then suddenly that guy sends a Ki strand on him. If others are not sensitive to such a thing, Xin Ja is.
So he quickly disguises himself and erases the strand. Meanwhile, he also sets up a trap array on the alleyway.
But who would have known that the answer is that this guy has a grudge on him, a grudge that he and that gang did? The fact that Xin Ja and his father are the victims should constitute that those people who did that to them deserve what they got.
Who would have known that those people are still thinking of revenge?
This is what\'s making Xin Ja tremble at this time. He is right now thinking of doing what he did to those people at that time to this guy. Plus, this guy has a knife and wanted to kill a drunken man just because he wanted to.
He truly is a scum.
He lifted his hand to strike the guy to end everything. He knew that with this guy gone, the threat to his father and himself would also lessen. Plus in this alley, no one would know who killed him.
"Little Ja… Stay your hand…" suddenly a voice interrupted him.
At this time, the figure of Xin Ja stiffens as he is familiar with that tone.
"Te… teacher Wang…" Xin Ja stammered as he looks at the old man who suddenly appears behind him.
At this time, two other figures appear from behind Hu Wanxiong. They look at Hu Wanxiong who is standing without moving with a blade on hand and only his facial expression is changing.
"Master Wang…" the two figures suddenly cupped their hands in greeting Old Wang.
"Teacher En, Teacher Dong… Take care of this…" Old Wang said as he retrieved the rune-filled bones in the array.
At this time, Hu Wanxiong came to himself and was suddenly appalled to see that there are now four people around him.
"This… Teacher En, Teacher Dong… What… what are you doing here? That… that drunken man… he… he is trying to attack me!" Hu Wanxiong suddenly blurted as he pointed at Xin Ja.
His mind was very quick to change which is the result of his experience in the streets. To be able to live, they have to quickly adapt and act as the victims.
"Take him back to school… He\'s an embarrassment as a teacher. If this happens again kick him out of the academy." Old Wang said in a stern voice.
Dong Layong and En Yaoyao showed a befuddled expression, but still cupped their hands and bowed. Why would they not? The school has done everything it could just to get Master Wang Changling back, so they would not dare to disrespect the old man.
"No… wait! Wait!" Hu Wanxiong wanted to oppose the two, but he suddenly became powerless and was dragged back to the academy.
When Xin Ja saw this, he showed an unwilling expression. Why would that guy still go back to school when he is actually a thug? He is not fit to be a teacher.
"That expression tells me that you are against that decision?" Old Wang said while patting the shoulder of the young man before him.
"You\'ve learned a lot from Divine Doctor Ba… He even taught you facial reconstruction… That old man is really something." Old Wang said while shaking his head.
Xin Ja did not want to ask his teacher at this point. Although he did not know what his teacher is planning, yet he is sure that if he faces that bastard again, he would surely not let him off.
"The school does not discriminate… We accept all walks of life. Although the noble families dislike this policy, yet they could not do anything about it… Remember, if you are strong, then you are strong. You should rely on yourself. I actually saw what happened. But I did not intervene to see how you would react. Not using the people around you and using your own strength… Now that is true strength." Old Wang said while patting Xin Ja\'s shoulder with a contented smile on his wizened face.
"I hope that you continue on… Well, I guess, I can give you this. Although it is not that useful anymore as you have reached the 1st level. But it would still prove its worth somehow." Old Wang said as he handed Xin Ja a small box.
Xin Ja carefully opens it and saw a necklace.
"This will reverse the Ki… From pure to chaotic…" Old Wang said with a knowing smile.
When Xin Ja heard this, he was really touched by his teacher\'s gift. In just one look, he knew that it is hand-carved. It seems that his teacher made it for him. He did not expect that his teacher would give him such a precious gift.
"Thank you… teacher!" Xin Ja said as he cupped his hand in respect.
