Chapter 178 Strong Backing
“Master...”
Ni Yinghong’s sweet voice echoed in the vegetable farm, and it was accompanied by the old farr’s loud laughter. Ou Yangming felt like he was dreaming.
He could not help but feel rather confused. ‘Is this old farr really Elder Universe, whose cultivation base is at the peak of Extre Grade?’
Seeing as the old farr lowered his head and apologized to his apprentice like a yielding person, Ou Yangming was envious.
‘Why can’t Old Craftsman treat like that?
‘But if his temper changes, he’s not old Craftsman.’
Ou Yangming did not know what the old farr promised, but after so ti, Ni Yinghong changed from being mad to being cheerful. She introduced, “Master, this is my friend...”
The old farr waved his hand and remarked, “This friend of yours is full of troubles, so it’s best you don’t have any dealings with him.”
Ou Yangming was slightly stunned, and he finally realized the unreasonable side of the elder.
“Master, is an elder like you even afraid of trouble?” Ni Yinghong asked snappily.
“Who in the world isn’t afraid of trouble? Without trouble like... You, I would’ve been so at ease in this farm,” the old farr responded grumpily. When he uttered the word “you”, he mumbled so softly that it was inaudible.
Nonetheless, Ou Yangming’s comprehension of Heaven and Earth was already in a thoroughly ticulous state, hence he heard the old man clearly.
Ni Yinghong blinked her big eyes and asked, “Master, what did you say just now?” “Huh? Wh-what did I say? Did I say sothing?” The old farr pretended to be baffled.
Ou Yangming opened his mouth, but just as he wanted to say the word “you”, he noticed a pair of eyes casting blade-like looks at him.
He clearly felt at that instant the person’s fearso and enormous conception, which was like a ghost’s or a devil’s.
Ou Yangming was certain that while he encountered nurous powerhouses before this, nobody had given him such a frightening feeling.
Whether it was the Ni family’s Three Great Ancestors or Chen Dishou, who taught him the spear technique’s true essence, their aura was slightly inferior to what he sensed at the mont.
Ou Yangming instantly tensed up, and his essential Qi and ntal power were released uncontrollably. If he were to hold back in the face of a powerhouse as such, he would definitely be courting death.
Nevertheless, just as his aura began to fluctuate, the pressure vanished into thin air at once.
Ni Yinghong turned to ask as she was shocked, “Brother Ou, what are you doing?” “I...” Ou Yangming was startled, so he asked slowly, “Didn’t you feel anything just now?”
“No,” Ni Yinghong answered in a daze, then she smiled brightly like a blooming flower. “Don’t worry. Since Master is here, nobody can hurt us.”
Ou Yangming quivered a little because he imdiately understood that Elder Universe only exerted the threatening pressure on him earlier, whereas Ni Yinghong, who was also nearby, did not notice anything abnormal. “Okay, I understand.” Ou Yangming inhaled deeply and nodded.
‘Elder Universe is unpredictable indeed. It makes sense why Ni Xuetian fears him so much.’
The old farr laughed as though nothing happened, and he said, “My clever apprentice, your friend is extrely daring. Not only did he attack the imperial rchant, but he also treated the governor impolitely. The governor gave an order that he’ll teach your friend a lesson.”
Ni Yinghong pouted and said, “He’s just a fake Supre Great Ancestor, who achieved his state through a bunch of dicine, so how dare he regard himself as an important figure? Hmph, does he think you’re a decoration?”
“Ah, so what if his Extre Grade is fake? He’s still an Extre Grade powerhouse.” The old farr waved his hand and was suddenly stunned. “No, what does this have to do with ?”
“Master, think about it. I’m your disciple, and he’s my friend, so doesn’t this make him your disciple too? If Deng Xiyuan wants to go against your disciple, isn’t he disrespecting you?” Ni Yinghong answered without any hesitation.
The old farr twitched his lips and looked dull as if he was saying, ‘What absurd logic is that? Is that even possible?’
On the other hand, Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. He secretly gave Ni Yinghong a thumbs-up to praise her for the great move. “Ah, a lady’s heart is always with her lover’s...” The old farr sighed after so ti.
Ni Yinghong stuck out her tongue and did not refute, causing the old farr to lant at how thick-faced she was.
He shook his head and asked, “You’re Ou Yangming, right? Let ask you-how do you plan to end things with the Liang family?”
Ou Yangming answered seriously without any hesitation to show that there was no room for discussion, “I’ve said it before. They must return the residence to Jiang Jiui, and if she suffers misfortune in the future, I’ll definitely purge the Liang family.”
The old farr shook his head and said, “Stop having wishful thinking, Jiang Jiui won’t return.”
“What? Did she encounter misfortune already?” Ou Yangming’s face changed, and he released such a horrifying killing intent, which was aid at the people from the Liang family.
“Hmph, what nonsense are you thinking about? I ant that Jiang Jiui had a fortuitous encounter, so she has already gone far away. The young fellas from the Liang family won’t be able to find her at all.”
Ou Yangming was dumbfounded, but he was also delighted.
He was obviously happy to hear that Jiang Jiui ran into sothing lucky, but he thought it was too coincident.
Despite that, he was no longer dubious when he thought about the elder’s identity.
“Senior, may I ask...” “Don’t ask, I won’t tell you.” The old man glanced at Ni Yinghong and expressed, “Nobody will say it because it’ll only cause trouble, and I fear trouble the most in my
life.”
Ou Yangming smiled bitterly. “Okay, if that’s the case, I won’t ask.”
“Hmph, you still haven’t told how you plan to end things with the Liang family.” The old man was rather displeased.
Ou Yangming responded after so thought, “Senior, the Liang family brought this disaster upon themselves, and I don’t plan to let them go so easily.”
“Oh, why?” The old man was curious. “You don’t look like soone who likes to vigorously pursue soone.”
Ou Yangming explained sternly, “I’m punishing them as an example to others. Soldiers fight in wars, and their lives aren’t insured, so how can petty people be allowed to stab them in the back? I want everyone to rember that the soldiers’ families are being supported too. If anyone wants to bully a soldier’s family, they can take a look at how the Liang family suffered.” The old farr pursed his lips and asked, “Are you aware of the number of soldiers’ families in the world? Can you handle everything?”
“I obviously can’t do it alone, but I believe that more people will get involved after this, and I’ll be their strongest backing!” Ou Yangming flashed a big smile.
“Hehe, the strongest backing...” The old farr repeated the words, but he looked slightly concerned.
After a brief mont, he said, “Okay, I’ll speak to Deng Xiyuan about this, and this cos to an end. As for the Liang family, let them search and be anxious for a while more.”
“Master, you’re the best!” Ni Yinghong’s eyes glowed. In actuality, she knew the elder’s character very well. Although the elder was good-tempered and was rarely mad, he was quite an opinionated person. Once he set his mind on sothing, he would not waver from his decision regardless of how hard other people tried to persuade him.
Ni Yinghong had previously stood up for Ou Yangming in different ways, but she was actually not confident about it.
She did not expect Elder Universe to instantly change his mind after he conversed with Ou Yangming, hence she was elated.
Even though she knew that it was likely related to the promise made by Ou Yangming, she was still delighted about it.
The old farr reached out his hand to rub Ni Yinghong’s head lovingly. “Little girl, you’re happy now, but you’ll have a lot of trouble in the future.”
Ni Yinghong replied with a smile, “It’s okay, we’re not afraid of trouble!”
“Oh, we?” The old farr teased her by prolonging the sound of the last word uttered.
Ni Yinghong blushed, but she still responded heartily, “Yes. If we co across tricky troubles, we’ll surely co to find you!”
The old farr was struck dumb, and he was lost for words.
Ou Yangming smiled slightly on the side as he thought, ‘This master and his apprentice are truly living dolls.’
That said, he could only think to himself because he might be killed horribly by the master and his apprentice if they found out.
Ni Yinghong suddenly said, “Master, I brought him here to seek help from you, but it’s only secondary.”
The old farr scoffed. “What’s your main purpose then? The secondary objective is already so troubleso, so is the main purpose going to be more problematic?”
“That’s not necessarily the case!” Ni Yinghong giggled. She blinked and asked mysteriously, “Master, do you rember telling that peculiar people, who are born with knowledge, exist in the world?”
The old farr curled his lips into a big smile. “What? You’re not going to tell that this young fella is a peculiar person who’s born with knowledge, are you?”
n
“Master, you guessed it right. He’s indeed a peculiar person who’s born with knowledge in appraisal art.” Ni Yinghong tensed up a little. She then turned to say, “Brother Ou, show Master your appraisal art.”
Ou Yangming nodded. He knew Ni Yinghong would not harm him, so there was no need for him to worry at all.
As he rubbed his hands and lifted them, he released the Appraisal Light.
However, there was nothing to appraise around Ou Yangming, and he dared not use the Appraisal Light on Ni Yinghong or Elder Universe even if he was beaten to death.
Therefore, he naturally released the Appraisal Light on a plant in the vegetable farm.
Ou Yangming’s eyelids twitched, but he quickly cald down and lowered his head as if nothing happened.
The old farr looked at him in astonishnt and asked, “Which sect did you learn this from?”
