Chapter 229 Kill a Person

The elder standing next to Zheng Fengfeng was none other than Yang Tianren!

The expressions of everyone in the living room changed at this moment, with Qian Zhengfa looking the most astonished.

He hadn't expected that this brash and arrogant young man would actually be acquainted with Zheng Fengfeng.

And judging from Yang Tianren's tone, Li Xiaoyao seemed to be someone of no ordinary status.

Under such circumstances, it wouldn't be wise for him to stand up for Qian Xiaohua.

Li Xiaoyao's gaze swept past Zheng Fengfeng and settled on Yang Tianren's face, sending a sliver of thought towards him.

Soon, a strong aura fed back through this sliver of thought.

Li Xiaoyao was secretly shocked, this old fellow's cultivation level was much higher than his own.

Li Xiaoyao communicated with Nie Xiaoqian in the ancient jade in his mind.

"Miss Xiaoqian, can you discern this old fellow's level of cultivation?"

A few seconds later, Nie Xiaoqian's voice sounded in his mind.

"Abstinence Realm, first stage."

Li Xiaoyao was slightly startled. He could sense that Yang Tianren's cultivation was very strong, but he only thought it was a bit higher than his own. He didn't expect the old fellow to have reached the Abstinence Realm, a whole realm above himself.

However, it was just the Abstinence Realm.

Although Li Xiaoyao's own strength was merely at the sixth level of the Condensation Realm, Nie Xiaoqian's cultivation had reached the terrifying peak of the Spirit Cultivation Realm.

A mere Abstinence Realm cultivator couldn't harm Li Xiaoyao in any way.

Li Xiaoyao looked at Yang Tianren, his expression unchanged, still wearing that indifferent look as he said, "Hello, Daoist Yang."

Yang Tianren looked at Li Xiaoyao, who was still seated on the sofa and hadn't risen, a trace of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

On the surface, Yang Tianren smiled heartily as he sat down next to Li Xiaoyao and asked, "May I know from which Sect Brother Li's teacher hails?"

"A lone crane in idle clouds." Upon saying that, Li Xiaoyao suddenly remembered that he could now be considered part of the Zhongzhou Xuan Sect.

Originally just a Loose Cultivator, a hint of disdain flashed in Yang Tianren's eyes.

Since he was a Loose Cultivator, there was nothing to fear.

The people in the living room, upon hearing the two call each other Daoist, felt it strange.

Qian Zhengfa stood in front of Zheng Fengfeng and asked in a low voice, "Young Master Zheng, who is this Elder Yang?"

Zheng Fengfeng said, "He's my grandfather."

"Oh."

Qian Zhengfa didn't ask any further, although he was puzzled as to why Zheng Fengfeng's grandfather had the surname Yang, but he wasn't foolish enough to ask that directly.

Zheng Fengfeng found a vacant seat and sat down, smoking on his own.

Qian Zhengfa and the others sat somewhat awkwardly on the sofa, wanting to approach and make conversation, but clearly sensing that Zheng Fengfeng didn't want to chat, realizing it would be pointless even if they did.

So, a bunch of grown men could only sit in silence, listening to the frustrating and cringeworthy dialogue between Yang Tianren and Li Xiaoyao.

"Would Brother Li be interested in joining my Sect?"

Li Xiaoyao declined straight away, "Not interested."

Yang Tianren's eyebrows lifted slightly as he said, "Won't Brother Li ask which Sect I am from?"

Li Xiaoyao kept his tone indifferent, "Oh, what Sect is it?"

A tick developed at the corner of Yang Tianren's mouth, a surge of anger rising within him. Li Xiaoyao's attitude was really irksome to him.

Yang Tianren's voice carried a bit of arrogance as he said, "Pingcheng's Tian Jian Sect!"

"Oh," Li Xiaoyao responded, then immediately added, "Never heard of it."

Yang Tianren was startled for a moment and then frowned as he looked towards Li Xiaoyao.

He hadn't heard of him?

This kid was really too arrogant.

Li Xiaoyao had thought Yang Tianren wanted to see him to reconcile the conflict between him and Zheng Fengfeng, but now it seemed that he wanted to intimidate him instead.

If that was the case, Li Xiaoyao felt there was no need for him to stay any longer.

Li Xiaoyao stood up and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."

After speaking, Li Xiaoyao turned and walked towards the door.

Yang Tianren's expression darkened, while Zheng Fengfeng across from him glared at Li Xiaoyao with a furious look.

Your next read is at empire

"Did I give you permission to leave?" Yang Tianren's voice, unmasked and filled with anger, echoed through the living room.

Li Xiaoyao paused in his steps, and without turning his head, said, "I leave when I want to leave, stay when I want to stay."

"Arrogant!" Yang Tianren's palm lightly tapped on the round table, which instantly turned to sawdust, leaving a thick layer of wood ash on the floor.

This move astonished everyone in the living room.

What kind of strength was this, to be able to turn a solid wood table to dust with a single slap? It was simply inhuman.

Li Xiaoyao turned around, snorted lightly, and said, "What, do you want to make a move against me?"

Yang Tianren's eyes narrowed slightly as the violent spiritual power inside him surged uncontrollably, but ultimately, he did not make a move.

There were too many people around, and even if he disliked Li Xiaoyao, it wouldn't be right to act here. If word got out, people would say Yang Tianren was bullying a junior.

"Young man, I'll give you some advice," said Yang Tianren. "One should know when to advance or retreat. Think over what I've said today. Once you've thought it over, come find me in Jindu."

Li Xiaoyao couldn't stand being threatened by others. He replied coldly, "I can give you an answer now: that Pingcheng's Tian Jian Sect doesn't even catch my eye."

"Such big talk!" Yang Tianren huffed angrily. "When we part today, if we meet again, I will not hold back."

Li Xiaoyao was unconcerned about Yang Tianren's nearly explicit threats.

Being at the first stage of the Abstinence Realm might be strong, but it posed no threat to Li Xiaoyao.

Even without Nie Xiaoqian lending a hand, Li Xiaoyao was confident that the spells and martial skills he had purchased from the System could bridge the gap between their realms.

Leaving the villa, Li Xiaoyao went straight back to his shop.

Just as Li Xiaoyao was about to go underground to continue harvesting Spirit Stones, his phone rang; it was Zhuo Yi calling.

Li Xiaoyao answered the phone and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Big Brother Li, I miss you," said Zhuo Yi, her voice tinged with pitifulness.

Li Xiaoyao's brows furrowed slightly as he said, "I've already told you, being my woman is not an easy matter. If you can't withstand loneliness, then choose to give up."

"Heh…" Zhuo Yi laughed at herself and said, "Yes, I'm the one who's brought this hardship upon myself. But do you know? Ever since I had you in my life, I can't fit another man in it. After having seen a rainbow, how can I settle for just one color? I miss you, I like you, I love you, but to you, I'm like a fearsome flood. You won't even agree to meet me."

Li Xiaoyao sighed inwardly and said, "You want to see me? Fine, then come here now. I'm at Chaotian Palace."

After hanging up the phone, Li Xiaoyao also pondered how to deal with his relationship with Zhuo Yi, and finally decided to cut the Gordian knot.

While waiting for her, Li Xiaoyao sat in the living room and entered the System.

...

Yang Tianren and Zheng Fengfeng left the villa by car. Inside the car, Zheng Fengfeng said, "Grandpa Yang, that kid really doesn't know what's good for him. Why didn't you just kill him on the spot?"

Yang Tianren's gaze turned towards the darkness outside the window and said, "Too many prying eyes. If I had killed him just now, it would harm my reputation more than it would help. Furthermore, such a minor martial artist is not worth my personal effort."

Having said that, he took out his cellphone, dialed a number, and after the call connected, said, "Go kill someone."
