Cheng Dongfeng laughed arrogantly. Who cared what time it was?
Everyone in the building was startled.
Duan Tianhe was the first to step out. He had noticed Cheng Dongfeng the moment he ascended, and as a wave of congratulations rang out, Cheng Dongfeng's face was flushed and he returned the greeting with a smile.
"Martial uncle!"
Su Ze opened the door and came out to greet him as well, exclaiming in delight, "Congratulations on reaching grandmaster!"
Cheng Dongfeng nodded and was about to leave, but paused and stepped back, saying, "Su Ze, to your room. I have something to tell you!"
With that, he opened the door and entered.
Su Ze appeared delighted.
Martial uncle …
He was in a good mood after ascending, and was giving him special treatment?
Closing the door, he smiled. "What do you need, martial uncle?"
There was a fridge and drinks in his room, and he turned to grab a bottle of Cheng Dongfeng's favorite cold beer. But just as he was about to flatter him, he heard a cold snort.
"Hmph!"
"Trash!"
Bang!
Cheng Dongfeng slammed his palm on the table, startling Su Ze so much that he shuddered and dropped the cold beer in his hand.
"Martial … martial uncle, what's wrong with me?"
Su Ze felt wronged.
On the other hand, Cheng Dongfeng scowled. "You have the nerve to ask me what's wrong? You've been with my senior brother for four years and honed yourself for a year in the bureau, but you're still a rank-two martial artist. Don't you feel ashamed? "
"Jiang He is two years younger than you, but he's ten times, a hundred times, or even a thousand times stronger than you!"
Su Ze scowled, unable to decide whether to laugh or cry. "Martial uncle, can you not mention that monster Jiang He? By the way, I ran into Jiang He on duty yesterday … "
It was only then that Su Ze realized that he had let the cat out of the bag, and promptly shut his mouth, stammering with a smile. "Well, martial uncle, I'll get you another bottle of cold beer."
It was fortunate that Cheng Dongfeng did not press him.
He scowled as he sat on his chair, waiting for Su Ze to open a bottle for him. It was only after he had two sips that his scowl relaxed considerably.
Su Ze, who had been observing Cheng Dongfeng's expression all along, could not help breathing a sigh of relief.
This martial uncle of his …
Had such a bad temper.
It was a little scary.
And yet, before he could finish that thought, he heard Cheng Dongfeng say flatly, "Su Ze, didn't Jiang He hit you before? How about this, you go to his house tomorrow and let him beat you up again. "
"…"
What?
Su Ze was dumbfounded.
After a while, he finally reacted and muttered, "Martial Uncle, are you serious?"
"Nonsense!"
Cheng Dongfeng glared at him and cursed, "It's the middle of the night. Do you think I'm bullshitting you?"
He stood up and walked out with his hands behind his back. He said calmly, "Don't worry, I won't let you get beaten up for nothing. When the time comes, I'll take revenge for you. Once I'm done, I'll personally guide you for a period of time. I guarantee that you'll be able to quickly step into Martial Path Rank Three, or even Martial Path Rank Four!"
"Why?"
"Why are you doing this to me!!!"
In the room, Su Ze was on the verge of tears.
Cheng Dongfeng, on the other hand, was in a great mood.
Why?
Why would there be so many whys? If Jiang He didn't beat you up, where would I find a reason to get back at you?
He could not possibly challenge a junior as a Martial Dao Grand Master, could he? How embarrassing would it be if word got out? Was Cheng Dongfeng that shameless?
While he was in a good mood, Su Ze was gloomy.
He was lying on his bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep no matter what.
He should call his master and tell him … No, no, with his martial uncle's temper, he would have to bear the consequences if he knew that Su Ze was tattling behind his back. Could it be that he had to agree to his martial uncle's request and get beaten up by Jiang He?
Su Ze mused to himself for a while, before suddenly rising to his feet and laughing.
"I'm so stupid!"
"Martial uncle just wants to get back at Jiang He, but he can't bring himself to do that because of his status … but from Jiang He's tone, it seems like he's thinking about you as well. When the time comes, I'll just tell him about your ascension, and he'll naturally challenge you!"
Su Ze was left dumbstruck by his own intelligence.
"No, that brat Jiang He had single-handedly killed over a dozen Sky Demon Cult elites and an entire wolf pack. He's very powerful, and Martial Uncle has just ascended. If he doesn't get the upper hand, he might take it out on me out of humiliation."
"I'll request a mission from the chief tomorrow morning. I'll go to Jiang He in a few days when Martial Uncle's cultivation is more or less stabilized!"
… …
Jiang He was not aware of what was happening at the Martial Arts Department (MAD).
He was not sleeping well.
He had nightmares throughout the night.
In his dream, he was exhausted by a bunch of bikini-clad girls!
However, he was jolted awake by a commotion.
When he opened his eyes in a daze, he found Wang Sizhen and his workers crowding around his sports car, talking amongst themselves … their words were filled with astonishment!
"What the hell!"
"That sports car is so beautiful. What is it?"
"A Lamborghini?"
"What Lamborghini? It's clearly a Rolls-Royce! Look at the logo if you don't believe me!"
"Eh? Why doesn't it have a logo? "
Fine.
The car definitely had no logo since it was planted. Surely, Jiang He couldn't have installed one himself, could he? Moreover, he planted it in the wee hours of the morning. Where would he have the time?
As for the license plate …
How could there be a license plate when there was no logo?
Jiang He had no intention of having a license plate since he did not even have a driver's license.
Pushing open the car door, Jiang He alighted.
Outside, a group of people were crowding around him, asking all sorts of questions. After some dodging, Jiang He smiled. "The rain has stopped, so let's get to work. By the way, Big Onion Bro, did you inform the workers to come to my house for dinner?"
"Are you worried about me?"
"That's good."
Jiang He thought about it and asked, "Do you know how to cook, Big Onion Bro?"
"Yes!"
Wang Sizhen puffed out his chest and said confidently, "I'm usually in charge of cooking at the construction site if anything happens to the cook."
Everything was easy since Wang Sizhen knew how to cook.
Jiang He pretended to drive outside, and when he returned, he promptly threw four hundred catties of wolf meat to Wang Sizhen, saying, "Stew all this meat. Everyone, eat as much as you want today … by the way, I still have some cucumbers here. Have some cold dishes too."
Jiang He had already plucked the wolf meat beforehand.
As for qi pellets, he just had to throw a few in when he brewed tea for the workers later.
"This meal would be worth at least a few dozen million in monetary terms. I must be the best boss in the world, right?" Jiang He thought as he entered the yard.
In the yard, a small tree that was only 1.5 meters tall but had thick, knotted branches was bathing under the sun.
A secret tome was hanging on the tree trunk.
Jiang He walked up and plucked the tome.
