In the corridor.
The man with red hair ran up and asked in confusion, "Young Master Niu, who was that person just now... so arrogant..."
"Slap!"
Niu Hu raised his hand and gave the red-haired man a heavy slap, "Bastard! It's because of you that I got hit! Son of a bitch, I wish I could beat you to death!" As he spoke, Niu Hu slapped the red-haired man a few more tis. The red-haired man didn't dare to dodge or fight back, letting Niu Hu hit him.
"If you had told ng Xiaoyu was also there, I wouldn't have gone at all!"
"Who else could be with ng Xiaoyu if not Gao Fei or Lu Hao? I can't afford to offend either of these guys!"
"Damn it, making look like a fool! Making take crap! Damn thing!"
...
Niu Hu cursed profusely.
The red-haired man had co to Niu Hu to complain that a man had beaten him. Whether through neglect or on purpose, he didn't ntion ng Xiaoyu at all, only ntioning that a female celebrity's male companion had beaten him. Niu Hu, being a loyal person, naturally had to stand up for his subordinate who was bullied.
This was also Niu Hu's responsibility for not clarifying the situation and stepping in so recklessly.
"Get lost! I never want to see you again!" Niu Hu scolded.
"Yes, yes, I'll get lost! I'm leaving right away!" The red-haired man covered his face and scurried away.
"And all of you, get lost too!" Niu Hu roared at the others.
"Whoosh..."
A bunch of people all dispersed.
In the blink of an eye, only Niu Hu was left alone in the corridor.
"Panting heavily, Niu Hu gasped for air, his face looking very unpleasant: "Gao Fei, you wait for ; sooner or later, I will deal with you!" After cursing a few tis, Niu Hu stord off, his desire to enjoy himself completely gone after this incident.
...
Elsewhere.
Ning Lan held up her glass, her face full of gratitude as she looked at Gao Fei: "Mr. Gao, I toast to you, thank you for saving !" Saying that, Ning Lan tipped her head back and downed the full glass of wine.
"It was just a trivial matter, not worth ntioning," Gao Fei waved his hand dismissively.
"It may be a small matter for you, but it's a big deal to !" Ning Lan said: "If it weren't for you today... I would definitely have been bullied by those bastards... If that happened, I definitely wouldn't have survived."
"Don't worry, they won't co to harass you anymore," Gao Fei said with a smile.
After a hearty al, the three of them got up and left the club.
"It's getting late, let's all go back and rest." After a brief greeting, Gao Fei left in his car.
"Xiaoyu, tell the truth, what's the background of Mr. Gao?" Ning Lan couldn't help but ask.
"Mr. Gao is a very capable person!" ng Xiaoyu said softly: "Niu Hu is formidable, right? But he didn't dare to utter a harsh word in front of Mr. Gao."
Ning Lan blinked: "Xiaoyu, everyone in the entertainnt industry is saying... You have a huge backer... That backer is Mr. Gao, isn't it..."
"You've seen it all, what's there to ask?" ng Xiaoyu replied with a smile: "I am lucky because I t Mr. Gao. With his help, I've been able to smoothly sail through the entertainnt industry and get to where I am now."
"I'm really envious of you," Ning Lan said with a bit of bitterness in her voice: "You're really fortunate."
...
Gao Fei had just returned to the hotel when he received a call from Lu Hao.
"Brother Fei! I heard that you slapped Niu Hu again?" Lu Hao asked on the phone.
"You're pretty well-inford," Gao Fei replied dryly.
"It's true then!" Lu Hao shouted excitedly on the phone: "I really admire you! You're my idol! It's a pity I wasn't there to see the great show."
"I'm tired, going to rest now. That's all," said Gao Fei before hanging up and heading toward the bedroom.
...
In the Southwestern Barren Mountains.
Yin Yang Sect.
Ever since obtaining the rciless Decision, Dongfang Jian had been practicing day and night like a man possessed, reaching the First Layer of the Qi Gathering Stage within just a few days. His cultivation speed was truly rapid.
Dongfang Jian felt that the rciless Decision seed tailor-made for him, perfectly suited for his cultivation.
Just yesterday, the new Sect Leader Xiong Batian publicly praised Dongfang Jian in front of everyone, saying that he was diligent in his cultivation, sotis so focused that he would even forget to eat. This spirit of dedicated cultivation was sothing everyone should emulate.
Receiving praise from the Sect Leader made Dongfang Jian very happy.
"Cultivating immortality feels so good," Dongfang Jian murmured to himself: "I've just entered the First Layer of the Qi Gathering Stage and already feel full of strength throughout my body. I could smash a rock with a single punch. If I reach the Inedia Stage, Golden Core Stage, Nascent Soul Stage... how powerful would I be?"
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Suddenly, a soft knocking sounded from the door.
Dongfang Jian furrowed his brows: "Who is it?" He was fantasizing about becoming the number one master in the Cultivate Immortality World, soaring through the sky and escaping the earth, becoming omnipotent... and at that mont, he was rudely awakened by the knocking, which irritated him greatly.
"It's ." A rather hoarse voice ca from the door, Dongfang Fengyun's.
Dongfang Jian stood up, walked over and opened the door, looking coldly at Dongfang Fengyun, "What do you want?"
"Xiaojian, I...I want to talk to you..." Dongfang Fengyun said.
"What about?" Dongfang Jian's tone was very cold.
Dongfang Fengyun's mouth twitched, "Could you...stop practicing cultivation?"
"What did you say!" Dongfang Jian's expression darkened, "Say that again!"
"I said...can you stop practicing cultivation!" Dongfang Fengyun repeated, "Ever since you started your practice, you've beco colder and colder. Even speaking to , you're icy; your gaze is even more indifferent... You've changed so much... I can barely recognize you anymore..."
Lately, Dongfang Jian indeed had undergone a great change, becoming unemotional, indifferent, and estranged.
"Impossible." Dongfang Jian said resolutely, "I cannot stop cultivating."
"Xiaojian..." Dongfang Fengyun started to speak but was interrupted by Dongfang Jian.
"I want to possess powerful strength, I want to have a long life," Dongfang Jian said, enunciating every word, "No matter the cost, I must cultivate! No one shall stop !"
"Xiaojian, it's not that I want to stop you, it's just that you..."
"Enough, don't say anymore! Leave, I'm going to practice cultivation."
"Xiaojian..."
"Leave now!" Dongfang Jian snapped.
Dongfang Fengyun opened his mouth as if he wanted to say sothing more, but upon seeing Dongfang Jian's icy face, he swallowed his words, silently sighed, then dejectedly left.
"Bang!"
The sound of the door closing ca from behind.
"Why has it co to this, why..." Dongfang Fengyun muttered to himself, "My eldest son is dead, and my younger son has beco like this... Oh heavens, what have I done wrong for you to punish like this?" At that mont, Dongfang Fengyun felt particularly tired, both in body and soul, his gaze empty, his whole being seeming to age a dozen years.
...
The sun set behind the mountains.
Darkness fell.
Shi Dabao put down the newspaper and stood up, heading to the bedroom. He kept a very regular schedule, sleeping before ten o'clock each night and getting up at six in the morning to go jogging. At six-thirty he would return for breakfast and then leave for work at seven-thirty, only to return ho in the evening.
Regular life allowed Shi Dabao to maintain a robust physique, enjoy his als, sleep soundly, and keep a relaxed disposition every day.
Long ago, Shi Dabao's life was irregular, staying up late every night and dragging himself through the days. Then he read a book on health that stated: A regular lifestyle promotes physical health and therefore a longer life! It was this sentence that made Shi Dabao change his way of life to early nights and early mornings, establishing a regular routine.
Over the years, his physique indeed beca very healthy, and he rarely fell ill.
"Thump, thump, thump!"
A hurried knocking suddenly ca from the door.
"Who is it?" Shi Dabao frowned, who could it be knocking at this late hour?
"Thump, thump, thump!"
The knocking grew louder.
Perplexed, Shi Dabao walked over and opened the door: "You are..." Outside stood a group of police officers, each with a stern expression.
"Are you Shi Dabao?" one of the officers asked.
"Ah! Yes, I'm Shi Dabao, what do you want with ?" Shi Dabao asked, trying to appear calm.
"You are under arrest."
"What? What cri have I committed that you're arresting ? Let go of , let go!!!"
"Take him away!" A group of officers quickly escorted Shi Dabao away.
...
In the dim interrogation room.
Shi Dabao sat on a chair, handcuffed, his brow furrowed, why were the police arresting him? Could it be... the tomb robbing had been discovered? Or was it so other reason? He was completely unable to calm down.
"Bang!"
The iron door was pushed open, and two n, one ahead of the other, walked in. The man in front was younger, seeming in his twenties, with a steady gait and an air of peculiar quality about him. The other, who appeared older, had thick eyebrows and large eyes, and exuded an imposing aura as he walked. These two were Gao Fei and Xia Tao.
Upon seeing Gao Fei and Xia Tao enter, Shi Dabao suddenly beca agitated, "Why are you arresting ! By what right are you arresting ! I am a law-abiding good citizen!"
"A law-abiding good citizen?" Gao Fei scoffed, "That's rich coming from you." As he spoke, Gao Fei pulled over a chair and sat down, his gaze icy as he stared at Shi Dabao, "I know all about the dirty deeds you've done."
Shi Dabao's mouth twitched, "What have I done?"
"Still playing tough?" Gao Fei snorted, "You're a tomb robber! You've robbed quite a few tombs over the years, haven't you?"
"You... you're talking nonsense... I... I'm not a tomb robber..." Shi Dabao's face went pale, and he broke out in a cold sweat. His worst fears were indeed coming true.
