C90 Relieving the Postmortem Disease
090
Fortunately, when he saw that Ye Zi did not reveal any unusual expression, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He did not expect that neither Ye Zi nor his disciple Wang Shujie knew much about the rules of the ancient martial arts.
Kuang Kun really thought of Ye Zi's master as someone from a hidden sect. The so-called hidden world was not compared to the secular world, but to the ancient martial arts world. Unless they stood up for themselves, no one would know about their inheritance, mistaking them for wandering the army and suffering great losses in the end.
After the scheduled delivery of the medicine to Kuang Kun, Ye Zi came out alone to pick up Tang Lingqiu.
Upon seeing Tang Lingqiu, Ye Zi could tell that Tang Lingqiu was different from the last time they met. Compared to Wang Shujie, Big Brother Tang's training speed was much faster. He concocted quite a few soup medicines and placed them in his space. This time, he could take them out and give them to him. Once he started the body refining medicinal bath, if he wanted to achieve the best results, he could not stop until he used them all.
"Let's go to the Taoyuan Village."
"Sigh, alright." Ye Zi climbed into the car obediently.
After the two sides of the mountain was strengthened, the speed at which the middle road was being built increased significantly. Along the way, they continued to drive, and many parts of the road had already been completed.
Ye Zi happily told him what his grandpa had told him over the phone. Lin Haiming's ability was not bad and he had seen a lot of the world, so after getting his grandpa's permission, he rented an engineering vehicle from outside.
Not only that, Tang Lingqiu's Shanshui Company also sent a technician over. During the day, he would teach at the village and teach the villagers how to grow their designated flowers. The men were working on the construction site, so the women and the older ones came over to listen to the lecture. It was rare for the people of Taoyuan Village to see such a bustling scene in the village before spring.
As the car drove into the Taoyuan Village store, they passed by the canteen, and there were rarely any villagers who gathered around the entrance to chat or play cards, and there was also another person who looked at the shop. It was Xiao Guang's grandmother.
"Granny Lin." Ye Zi stuck his head out of the window and called for someone.
"Hey, Zi, you're back." The old man greeted with a smile.
"Granny Lin, where's Aunt Bao?" Ye Zi asked.
Granny Lin was still smiling. "She went to listen in class in the morning and hasn't come back yet. She's probably asking her teacher some questions. She's been busy these past few days, and it's just me and Granny Lin watching the shop." He was busy and happy.
"Granny Lin, I'm going back." Ye Zi waved his hand.
When they got home, Ye Wenbo prepared lunch and the four of them ate together. After dinner Ye Zi took Tang Lingqiu for a walk up and down the mountain. He had no idea how much it had changed from what his grandfather had told him. No one from the construction site had returned, and when the others had finished their lunch, Ye Zi greeted him warmly and was a little reserved to Tang Lingqiu, who was with him, but only as if the big boss had come to inspect the work.
It was only then that Ye Zi told Tang Lingqiu about the situation he had heard from Kuang Kun and Wang Shujie's encounter. It was unknown if Tang Lingqiu should be jealous of stupid big guy's good luck or be gloating when he heard about stupid big guy's misfortune, but as soon as he stepped into the ancient martial arts gate, he saw an enemy glaring at him from the outside.
Everyone said that foolish people have good luck, look at this Wang Shujie, fighting with hooligans, and actually meeting an unknown martial arts master. Although he was injured, he was the Sect Leader of Mad Knife Sect, and if stupid big guy was selected by others, he would become the next Sect Master. Although there were only three people in Mad Knife Sect currently, and one of them had betrayed the sect.
Just like in the martial arts drama on television, the male lead fell off the cliff. Below the cliff, there were either senior experts or hidden martial arts secret manuals and treasures.
Tang Lingqiu pulled Ye Zi to find a rock and sat down, "I also asked about some information, but I don't have as much information as you do about the families of the Ancient Martial World sects," since his grandfather was not a person of the Ancient Martial World, he was unable to get a deeper understanding of the inner workings of the Ancient Martial World, "This senior of the Mad Knife Sect appeared in time to fill in the gaps in their information," However, my grandfather does have some relations with the Purple Silk Sect you mentioned. "
He told them about the origin of the Xie Family and the Purple Silk Sect. In fact, to him, the Ancient Martial School said that they were far from the secular world, but the boundaries between them were simply not clear, and Purple Silk Sect also required the help of the people from the Secular World to handle some of the matters that they found it inconvenient to deal with. For example, a clan like the Xie Family with an unusual identity and status would make it more convenient for them to act.
From the various information he had gathered, he could tell that the people from the Ancient Martial World all had a sense of superiority, which allowed the ordinary people to fear the power and transcendent position of the Ancient Martial Cultivator.
Now that science had developed and all kinds of detection and tracking methods had become more and more brilliant, it was probably impossible for Ancient Martial World to not be completely detected in this world. This was also probably due to the reason why my grandfather told me about the abnormal sign of Ancient Martial World.
Moreover, no matter how strong the individual power of the Ancient Martial Cultivator was, would it be able to fight against thousands upon thousands of enemies and the defense weapons of today?
The two talked about the Ancient Martial World for a while. Finally, Tang Lingqiu patted on Ye Zi's head and said: "Since Ding Xu said that he would bring Ding Chang to An Xi to meet his cousin, then there's no need to worry too much about your classmate. As for your suspicions,"
He did not believe that before Ding Xu came over, he would investigate the entire matter clearly. Otherwise, this so-called apology would only be done because he was using his identity as the Ancient Martial Cultivator to force his way through.
Ye Zi nodded. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want Han Han to be able to escape from the calamity of his previous life because of him.
He also needed the truth to determine how he treated Pan Jingwen. If it really had something to do with her, then he wouldn't have been able to stand by the sidelines and watch.
The next day, he brought Ding Chang to the Angxi County, but it was different from what others expected. Ding Chang was carried down from the carriage while being served, and now, he even needed someone to feed him saliva, but no matter how he scolded, Ding Xu's cold gaze made him shiver, and what was even more shameful was that he actually could not control himself, he was so embarrassed that he wished he could die immediately, but in the end, he did not have the courage to do so.
Just one day passed and he already had a taste of living a life worse than death. More than half of his men had been eliminated, and the only order left was Ding Xu. The businesses that he had acquired through various means had been handed over to the remaining people to take care of. In the future, he only needed to lie on his bed and eat, drink, and wait for the day of death to come.
Tang Lingqiu also brought Ye Zi back to the county.
While Ding Xu and Xie Qingrong were strolling out of the study with a smile on their faces, Tang Lingqiu stood up with Ye Zi, followed by a tall man in a black suit pushing a wheelchair. Tang Lingqiu was a bit late, as he had heard about Sun's current situation and had a better understanding of Ding Xu.
Xie Qingrong had the same thought. When Ding Xu appeared with Ding Chang, who was sitting in his wheelchair without moving his arms and legs, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
The one who condoned Ding Chang to this extent was Ding Xu, but the one who personally destroyed Ding Chang was also Ding Xu, and this pair of brothers also had a story behind them. Xie Qingrong laughed good-naturedly and said it didn't matter when he heard Ding Chang's apology.
"Young Master Tang, Young Master Ye, we meet again." Ding Xu walked over and politely hugged his hands in a Ancient Martial World salute. Since his identity had already been revealed, there was no need to hide it anymore.
"Mr. Ding is a rare guest." Tang Lingqiu replied politely.
"Mr. Ding can just call me Ye Zi." Ye Zi was also called Young Master Ye in his previous life, but there was always a hint of malice or mockery in his tone, so he didn't accept this title.
Ding Xu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "If you don't mind, then I'll call you Ye just like Young Master Tang and the others."
Tang Lingqiu was speechless. This guy actually knew how to beat a snake with a stick. He also felt that he had ulterior motives towards Wu Tie, but Wu Tie didn't really care. He had always been called that in the outside world, so it didn't matter if there was one more person or one less.
"Since everyone knows each other, then let's move to the next level and have a meal together." As the owner, Xie Qingrong invited Ye Zichen to go with him.
"My pleasure."
Knowing that Ding Xu was coming, Xie Qingrong had already booked a private room. When they were seated in the private room, Ding Xu pointed at Ding Chang who had been pushed to the last seat and said to Ye Zi, "Ye, I'm really sorry this time, I just found out yesterday that the young man my useless brother sent to deal with is Ye's friend. It's too late to apologize now, so I'll drink three glasses of wine."
He raised his glass and drank three cups of wine without any hesitation. Only after he had a detailed understanding of the cause and effect yesterday, did he realize that even Ye Zi, this youth who he could not understand, had been involved.
In fact, he did not have much fear towards a person like Zhao Jun beside Tang Lingqiu. This kind of person who was trained in the special forces had already squeezed out a lot of potential from his body, at most, it was comparable to the low-leveled Ancient Martial Cultivator who trained in external forces. In front of them, he was not much of a threat.
No matter how talented Ye Zi was, it was impossible for him to reach the Innate Realm at this age. But no matter what, it was sufficient to show that the level of his cultivation technique was deep and unpredictable, and his low attitude was not only towards the Xie and Tang Families, but also towards the Purple Silk Sect behind them. Part of the reason was also because of this young man.
Plus, the injuries reported by Ding Chang's subordinate and the teenager lying in the hospital didn't match at all. The one who started the training was Ye Zi, which made him more sure of his thoughts.
After getting drunk, Ding Xu told him the whole story. He found out that the reason Lee Chengdong wanted Lee Chengdong to get someone to teach a high school student named Han Han a lesson was because he listened to the provocations of the woman beside him, and this woman, no, the girl was coincidentally Ye Zi's classmate.
Ding Xu no longer warned Ye Zi to be on guard and didn't intend to claim credit for it. The latter's expression indicated that he had guessed the truth of the matter and just needed him to confirm it.
However, Ding Chang didn't have his little brother's eye of discernment. Ever since Ye Zi appeared, Ding Chang couldn't help but glance at the young man.
In his heart, he only hated Ding Xu for being ungrateful and merciless. Now that he saw Ding Xu, he was helpless, and he even tried to convince others that Ding Xu was close to the young man, so when he saw Ding Xu, he thought Ding Xu was attracted to him as well. He silently cursed Ding Xu.
Noticing that Ding Chang still didn't know how to repent and reveal his coveted gaze, Ding Xu snorted and got someone to push him out. Tang Lingqiu and Xie Qingrong both had cold expressions on their faces. The only one who didn't know what was going on was Ye Zi.
Not long after Ding Chang left, Xie Qingrong's cell phone rang. Tang Lingqiu looked at the caller ID and apologised while he answered the call. Tang Lingqiu unintentionally glanced at the caller ID and saw that his cousin's face gradually revealed a surprised expression.
"..." "Alright, I understand. I know what to do, thank you very much."
Xie Qingrong hung up the phone and returned to his seat. He looked at Ding Xu in confusion and said, "It's a call from the city. The disciplinary committee received a report from the masses and quickly formed an investigation team. They want to conduct a quarantine inspection on Vice Mayor Li Wei. Lee Chengdong's company is also under review."
Tang Lingqiu immediately raised his eyebrows. This was also Ding Xu's move. He was so fast that the news of the city's censors had arrived.
Ye Zi was even more shocked as he looked doubtfully at Tang Lingqiu. The latter looked back at him with a look that he would talk about later before making up his mind.
Ding Xu raised his glass with a smile. "If you do too much, you will commit suicide. I believe that Vice Mayor Li has done too much. Naturally, there will be people who don't like him, making him unable to sit at the bottom of the seat."
Everything was said without words, and the smile on Xie Qingrong's face also widened. It was indeed easier to get Ding Xu to help than him, the Li family's father and son were closer to Ding Chang, and the bad debts they learned from Ding Chang would definitely be one after another, making it easy to defeat Ding Chang. However, from this incident, it could be seen that Ding Xu was not an otherworldly expert who did not care about worldly affairs, he was Ancient Martial World, and still used a worldly method to deal with matters.
After eating and sending off the Ding Family brothers, Tang Lingqiu bid farewell to his cousin with Ye Zi, then explained to Ye Zi what had happened behind the scenes.
"In other words, it was Ding Xu who knocked down Vice Mayor Li?" Only after a while did Ye Zi come back to his senses.
"Right," Tang Lingqiu couldn't help but laugh when he saw the expression on Ding Chang's face, "Ding Chang and the Li Family's relationship is quite shallow, and Ding Xu has already controlled Ding Chang. Of course, we can also get evidence of the shameful things he did behind his back with the Li Family's father and son.
Ye Zi finally understood, but he was still puzzled: "Then why is Ding Xu indulging his brother Ding Chang to such an extent? Doesn't he know that Ding Chang has done a lot of bad things? "
Tang Lingqiu couldn't help but reach out his hand to pinch Ye Zi's small ear and said, "Maybe he has a reason, maybe it's because these things are nothing in his eyes."
Ye Zi didn't notice Tang Lingqiu's actions because his mind was focused on the second half of what Big Brother Tang had said. In Ding Xu's eyes, those things were nothing, but did that mean that Ding Xu was just like Big Brother Tang said yesterday, a high and mighty Ancient Martial Cultivator, and did not put ordinary people in his eyes? When he thought of this possibility, Ye Zi felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Subconsciously, he didn't want to get too close to someone like Ding Xu.
In Sun Zhixiang's eyes, he was just a nobody who came from a small mountain village. He was so high up that he could decide his own life or death whenever he wanted, and the Gao Family people could contemptuously order their dead bodies to be thrown into the ocean. Although that was a nightmare, Ye Zi believed that reality would develop similarly after his death, no matter if he was from Gao Family or his own mother.
Tang Lingqiu had achieved his goal and the corner of his mouth curved up into a smile. He continued to quietly attract Ye Zi's attention.
After leaving the hotel, Ye Zi went to the fruit shop to pick up a bag of fruits, then went to the hospital to visit Han Han. On the way, he told him and the Han Family to not worry about the results, Tang Lingqiu didn't leave, but went with them.
Last time, he had helped him see through a woman's true appearance. This time, he saved her and tidied up her tail, causing Tang Lingqiu to feel sour in his heart. He wished that Ye Zi would not care about anyone but only pay attention to him.
Of course, he only dared to think about it.
Mama Han stayed the night yesterday and was replaced by her father during the day. When he saw Ye Zi, he was both happy and courteous, and he did not give Tang Lingqiu much thought since he had an unusual bearing.
Han Han was very happy to see Ye Zi, but when he saw that Tang Lingqiu didn't have his dad's shrewdness, he couldn't help but look around. He pulled Ye Zi's arm and asked, "Ye-zi, is this your friend?"
Father Han secretly stared at his son as a warning. Even if Ye Zi had a good relationship with him, he shouldn't ask so much about other people.
Ye Zi smiled and said, "My friend Tang Lingqiu, we just had lunch together and came together."
Tang Lingqiu walked beside Ye Zi, put his hand on Ye Zi's shoulder, and said elegantly, "Hearing that Ye Zichen is worried about your injuries, I came with him to see. Since Ye Ye's matter is my problem, then don't hesitate to rest here, Student Han doesn't need to worry about matters outside."
Hearing the hidden meaning in his words, Han Han looked at Ye Zi and asked, "What's going on outside?"
Ye Zi glanced at Tang Lingqiu. Although he didn't understand, he still felt that something was weird. He explained, "The mastermind behind this is now being reported to his father. They are under investigation. It will be difficult to get rid of them." He had deduced this from Big Brother Tang's words.
"Really? That's great. Ye, thank you! " Now that both father and son were in trouble, there was no way he could do anything to his own son. After understanding what had happened, he had already scolded his son, but what could he do? He was afraid that Young Master Li would not let him go and take revenge. At that time, the only thing he could do was to leave this place with his son.
Even if you wanted to date someone, you would have to find a proper girl. The parents wouldn't say much, but the son just blindly provoked such a dishonest person. He was befuddled by a little girl, which was why he ended up with such a disaster.
Even though the county magistrate had made an appearance, he was still the deputy mayor of the city. If the magistrate was older than the county magistrate, would the face of the county magistrate be of any use?
Now his anxious heart had finally returned to its original position.
When Han Han saw his father lose his composure, his eyes reddened uncontrollably. Since the incident, the more worried his father was, the more he realized the seriousness of the situation. The more his father didn't scold him, the more upset he felt, he nearly shed tears and asked, "Ye, was it County Magistrate Xie who did it?"
Ye Zi thought about it and shook his head. "No, I heard someone reported it to the higher-ups and sent someone to investigate. You can stay here and rest after the matter is resolved. Tell your uncle to go and get a leave of absence at school."
"Yes." Han Han nodded. Although Ye Zi denied it, Han Han and his dad still felt that this matter was related to Ye Zi and County Magistrate Xie, and they felt even more grateful.
For Father Han, not only did Ye Zi save his son's life, he also saved the lives of the two elders.
These past two days have been extremely painful as the temperature dropped and the periarthritis around the shoulder flared up.
