Chapter 482: 290: The Strange and Informing Zhou Li_2
Or,
what if I haven’t died?
If Sun Yihe really has malicious intentions.
It’s no different from gambling with his own life and the fate of human beings.
Chen Sheng felt that the other party should not be that foolish.
Of course.
This is just Chen Sheng’s feeling.
He still has many doubts about the Seven Demon Mental Method.
He thinks he should find Sun Yihe.
And have a face-to-face talk with him.
No time to lose.
Chen Sheng got up directly.
Suddenly.
It seems he remembered something.
“That’s right, I need to explain a thing or two to Old Zhou.”
It seems Xu Ying has been accepted as a disciple by Zhou Li.
Since I killed him, I should at least say something.
As for how to face Old Zhou.
There’s nothing to be afraid of.
The stronger he gets, the more Chen Sheng cares about his own life.
Just as he said when he killed Xu Ying earlier.
Those who harbor ill intentions towards him.
Those who may be harmful to him.
As long as these people are still alive in this world.
Chen Sheng will feel very uncomfortable.
He must crush them to pieces and turn them into dust.
Only then he can be satisfied.
This is not bloodthirsty.
This is valuing life.
After all, it was Chen Sheng himself who, in a very short time, had grown from an ordinary person to this terrifying level.
He will not choose to let Xu Ying go because of his weak strength.
What if Xu Ying has some opportunity and becomes stronger than him in a short time?
That’s why.
The strong ones must be killed.
And the weak ones must be killed too.
Only when those who threaten him become dead will Chen Sheng choose to let them go.
Thinking of this.
Chen Sheng’s figure flashed.
When he appeared again.
He had already arrived at the cottage at the foot of the mountain.
“Old Zhou.”
There was no one outside the house.
Only smoke was rising.
Chen Sheng spoke in a hushed tone.
Footsteps were heard inside the hut.
At the same time.
Zhou Li’s robust voice also rang out.
“You kid, finally decided to come down for a visit, huh?”
“Even practicing martial arts, we must strike a balance between work and rest.”
“Let me tell you, if you keep training like this, sooner or later you’ll end up with an abnormal mind.”
With a creaking sound.
The wooden door was pushed open.
Zhou Li stepped out, looking at where Chen Sheng was standing.
The old man’s face suddenly showed a puzzled expression.
“Where is Xu Ying?”
“Didn’t I tell him to—”
“He’s dead.”
“I killed him.”
Zhou Li hadn’t finished his sentence.
Chen Sheng answered with his eyes closed.
Next second.
The old man’s expression turned from puzzled to astonished.
He did not think Chen Sheng would be in the mood to joke about this kind of thing.
So… is it true?
At this moment.
Before Zhou Li could ask any questions.
Chen Sheng explained the whole story from start to finish.
After listening to Chen Sheng’s words.
Zhou Li fell silent.
Chen Sheng didn’t say anything either; he just quietly waited for his reaction.
After a long while.
The old man let out a sigh.
He looked up at Chen Sheng.
“So, are you going to eat or not?”
Chen Sheng was stunned.
He thought the other party might be sad.
They might blame it on himself.
Or they might be helpless.
After all,
For the past month since they arrived in Kyoto, Xu Ying had been accompanying him.
People are not like vegetation, who can be heartless.
But Chen Sheng never expected that Zhou Li would ask such a question.
“You’re not trying to poison me to death, are you?”
“I’d advise you to give up.”
“I can drink pesticides like a beverage.”
Chen Sheng said this as he walked towards the room.
He obviously accepted Zhou Li’s invitation.
“What the hell are you talking about, kid?”
“Am I that kind of person?!”
“You’re just measuring the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!”
The old man grumbled and followed Chen Sheng into the room.
Once inside.
Following Xiao Hei’s guidance, Chen Sheng sat directly at the dining table.
Zhou Li knew that it was not convenient for him now but didn’t say anything.
He just silently set the dishes and filled a basin with egg fried rice and put it in front of Chen Sheng.
“Xu Ying is dead; you might as well eat his share too.”
Zhou Li spoke again.
Matter-of-factly,
it seemed like he didn’t care about Xu Ying’s death at all.
This left Chen Sheng somewhat puzzled.
“Old man.”
“Don’t you have anything to say?”
He asked Zhou Li.
They talked for a while.
Chen Sheng’s movements were not slow at all.
As always, his arm turned into countless black shadows in the sky.
The fried rice in the basin was visibly diminishing at a rapid pace.
Zhou Li didn’t touch his chopsticks.
Hearing Chen Sheng’s question.
He was first startled, then shook his head and laughed.
“Xu Ying was beaten to death because he did something wrong.”
“It’s also because I didn’t manage him well.”
“I tried to persuade him to change his ways before, but unfortunately, it didn’t work.”
“There’s not much to say about such an outcome.”
“As for me.”
Zhou Li chuckled.
He looked out the window.
On the old man’s face, there seemed to be a sense of relief.
It seemed like optimism.
“In my life.”
“I’ve seen too many deaths.”
“Relatives, friends.”
“I’m already a bit numb to it.”
“Anyway, at my age, I don’t have many years left.”
“In the last bit of time, I just want to recruit talented disciples for the Eagle Body Sect and pass down my father’s legacy.”
“For everything else, I have already let go.”
Zhou Li didn’t blame Chen Sheng for going too far.
He already knew what kind of person Chen Sheng was.
Back at the Yinghui Grocery Store, he helped Chen Sheng deal with corpses and clean up blood stains every two days.
It is fair to say that Chen Sheng’s choice of letting go of Xu Ying seemed strange at the time.
As for Zhou Li himself.
It is impossible for his heart not to be affected.
But just like he said.
With so much experience.
Many things have gradually numbed him.
Resentment.
Sorrow.
These negative emotions will only fill his already short time with bad memories.
It’s better to be more open-minded instead.
“In case there really is an underworld, I’ll apologize to Xu Ying when the time comes and give him a good lesson.”
With that said.
Zhou Li picked up his chopsticks and prepared to dig in.
“By the time you die, Xu Ying will probably have already reincarnated.”
Chen Sheng said faintly.
“You little brat!”
“Are you trying to pick a fight with me?”
Zhou Li’s eyes widened sharply.
And then.
Both the old man and the young man’s mouths couldn’t help but curl up in a smile.
They didn’t say anything else.
They didn’t bring up Xu Ying’s matter again.
They just quietly resolved the food on the table.
Both of them knew that the matter was already settled.
There was no point in discussing it further.
It would only add to the worry.
Five minutes later.
With Chen Sheng’s participation.
Today’s mealtime seemed exceptionally short.
Chen Sheng ate as if sweeping away the fallen leaves in the autumn wind.
He was focusing on a balanced distribution and consuming as if a gust of wind devouring the clouds.
Zhou Li even had to put in twelve points of energy to barely snatch some food from Chen Sheng’s hands.
“You little brat, you have no respect at all for the old and the young!”
The old man was anxious.
“In the battlefield of the dining table, there is no distinction between old and young.”
Chen Sheng was not in a hurry as he had already deliberately left enough food for Zhou Li.
After the meal.
Chen Sheng began to clean up the bowls and chopsticks.
This was usually Xu Ying’s responsibility in the past.
Chen Sheng didn’t mind taking over the task once or twice after beating him to death.
“Hey, hey, hey! Don’t mess around, be careful not to break my bowls and chopsticks.”
Seeing this scene.
Zhou Li quickly waved his hands in discouragement.
Chen Sheng completely ignored Zhou Li and quickly washed the bowls clean.
“I’m leaving.”
With that.
He headed straight for the door.
“Get out, get out.”
“Don’t bother me.”
Zhou Li waved his hands repeatedly, looking impatient.
As soon as the words fell.
Chen Sheng’s figure vanished on the spot.
After he left.
The impatience on Zhou Li’s face faded.
The old man sat dazedly in his chair, with a faraway look in his eyes.
It was fine when others were with him.
Arguing with Chen Sheng distracted him from his grief for a while.
Now that he was alone.
Even if Zhou Li appeared to be open-minded on the surface.
He was, after all, human.
He couldn’t be completely unaffected.
For a long time.
The old man let out a deep sigh.
His figure appeared even more lonely.
“Stop sighing.”
At that moment.
Chen Sheng suddenly came back.
His pure white eyeballs gazed at Zhou Li’s astonished face.
“You said you wanted to pass down the Eagle Body Sect and only took Xu Ying as a disciple, right?.”
“Do you expect disciples to fall from the sky or what?”
Previously, Chen Sheng hadn’t gone far away.
Instead, he made a phone call to inquire about the situation of the Eagle Body Sect and ask the Martial Arts Association for help in investigating some information.
Now that he had accurate information.
“I’ll help you find some disciples in the next few days, so passing down your Eagle Body Sect shouldn’t be a problem.”
With that said,
Without waiting for Zhou Li’s refusal,
Chen Sheng’s figure vanished at the door once more.
Leaving behind the old man, completely bewildered.
