Chapter 148 He Is Vengeful!
When Chu Xun stepped out of the Liu Family ho, Azure Dragon ca up and told him that the amiable old man was waiting for him.
The place they were going to this ti was not the old alley, but a courtyard with red tiles and white walls, which symbolized the highest authority in Huaxia.
The red painted gate, nine rows of star-shaped nails, the flying dragon and clouds and exquisite murals, showed the past incomparable beauty and brilliance of the place.
The car could not be driven in, so they had to walk. Chu Xun did not care. He sauntered on the path of bluestones in a leisurely manner, as if he was taking a stroll.
Azure Dragon followed Chu Xun and looked at him from behind. In his view, Chu Xun was a man who could not be asured by common sense and was as dazzling as the sun. He rembered the first ti when he saw Chu Xun. At that ti, Chu Xun had slaughtered the whole 12 Constellations, and he did not et any resistance. Azure Dragon knew that so people were destined to be extraordinary.
If Chu Xun knew Azure Dragon’s thoughts, he would tell him seriously that if he could, he would rather nothing happened, because this road was too hard for him.
It was the end of autumn now. The flowers and trees around were withering and the scenery was bleak. Even the highest authority in Huaxia had to obey the natural powers.
The amiable old man received Chu Xun in his office. The only people who had access here, were all great leaders of different places, but Chu Xun was an exception.
The entire office was more than 100 square ters in width, and was made up of red bricks. The decor here was extrely simple. It had a lot of antiques and the air was filled with the sll of wood. Frankly, even the offices of small- or dium-sized business owners were more luxurious than this place. Maybe no one had ever thought that many country policies were discussed and made here.
“Sit down, please!” The amiable old man made the tea himself. The tea set was colorful, but gaudy. However, it was once a special tea set for an emperor and was very valuable.
The tea was hot. The amiable old man looked at Chu Xun through the steam with eyes full of undisguised appreciation.
Although the Liu Family had existed only about a hundred years, with its dependence on the glory of its ancestors, it had risen rapidly. In these years, it had begun to interfere in the state affairs, which made him afraid, but he could do nothing to solve the problem.
But Chu Xun, in just one day, had made the brilliant Liu Family fall from the clouds to the earth, and would soon fall into hell.
“It is a good painting.”
Chu Xun stared at the painting of a tiger hanging on the wall, behind the desk. The tiger was on top of a boulder and roaring at the forest. The montum of its strength was obvious in the painting. It looked powerful and frightening.
The amiable old man was stunned for a mont, and then he said with a smile, “If you like it, I will give it to you.”
“Thanks!” Chu Xun sat down and motioned Azure Dragon in.
When Azure Dragon ca in, Chu Xun asked with a smile, “Azure Dragon, what do you think of this painting of Tiger Roaring at the Sky?”
Azure Dragon was slightly shocked, and then looked back at the painting of the tiger.
Chu Xun picked up his cup of tea and took a sip. At the sa ti, his other hand flicked secretly. A strand of Reincarnation Line shot out and fell silently into the painting of the tiger. However, the painting of the tiger only rippled slightly and then settled down in the blink of an eye, as if nothing had happened.
“Good tea. Did you get it as part of a bribe?” Chu Xun smiled and said jokingly.
The tea in the mouth of the amiable old man almost spurted out. He did not expect that Chu Xun would make a joke.
“This is Yunwu Tea from Yunwu Mountain. Its yield is extrely low. There is a saying that one gram is worth ten grams of gold. It is only supplied to us, and you can’t buy it outside. If you like it, bring so back when you leave.” The amiable old man was sincere and did not say anything phatic, because he knew that he should not play any tricks in front of Chu Xun, who was too evil.
Chu Xun chuckled and said, “Why do I feel like a robber?”
“If you can heal my teacher, you can take whatever I have here,” the amiable old man jested with him.
But Chu Xun knew that he was not joking. “I said he can be cured, he will be, but I still lack a certain type of dicine.”
“What kind of dicine? I will ask my people to look for it,” said the amiable old man. Chu Xun had said that his teacher would not live for long.
“Lightning-struck Wood,” said Chu Xun.
“Er... what is that?” The amiable old man was confused. He had never heard of this Lightning-struck Wood.
“The Lightning-struck Wood is a tree that survived after being hit by lightning. This kind of tree has a kind of special vitality and is hard to find.”
“Where can I find it?”
“I don’t know.” Chu Xun replied very simply.
The corners of the amiable old man’s mouth twitched. He thought he would have a stomachache when talking to Chu Xun. Then he said, “I will ask my people to look for it.”
Chu Xun shook his head and said, “The Lightning-struck Wood is sothing we can’t ask for. And ordinary people may not recognize it when they see it. I am afraid that it can only be found in those sects of Martial Tao.”
“You know where it is, don’t you?” the amiable old man asked hopefully.
“I don’t know, but I should be able to find it. Let’s go to the Golden Knife Sect first!” Chu Xun said indifferently.
But when the amiable old man heard that, his eyelids began to twitch and his expression changed a little.
The people of the Golden Knife Sect had besieged Chu Xun’s woman in Qianlong Mountain so ti ago. Everyone thought it was over. After all, those people had been killed by Chu Xun.
Now it seed that the world did not know enough about Chu Xun. At the very least, he was vengeful.
“The Golden Knife Sect’s days are over.” The amiable old man thought so.
“If there is no Lightning-struck Wood in the Golden Knife Sect, are you going to go the Wuji Sect or Poison Sect?”
Chu Xun looked at him and said with a slight smile, “It seems that we have a certain tacit understanding.”
The amiable old man could not help rolling his eyes. It was not because of the tacit understanding between them at all, but his understanding with Chu Xun. The Ruthless Chu and Evil Chu were not nas to be joked about. However, he had no opinion on it. Although he was the emperor of the secular world, people of the Martial Tao had never paid attention to the people of the secular world, including the head of the country.
In any era, the Martial Tao was not accepted by the governnt.
“Alas... it seems that another bloody war is going to happen in the field of Martial Tao.” The amiable old man could not help gloating in his heart.
Chu Xun looked at the amiable old man in a strange manner. Chu Xun was sensitive and he could clearly feel the changes in the amiable old man. It seed that the amiable old man was not a good person, either. But since ancient tis, few emperors were ever kind-hearted.
The amiable old man was about to say sothing when Azure Dragon who was looking at the painting, suddenly stumbled back a few steps. His clothes and hair were wet, and his forehead was dripping with sweat, as if he had just co out of the water. He gasped heavily and he had a terrified expression.
“What is the matter with you?” The amiable old man’s face was full of surprise. “How could watching a painting make you look like that?”
Chu Xun looked at him thoughtfully and said, “Did you see it?”
“It seems that you have already known about it, Sir.” The fear on Azure Dragon’s face had not disappeared.
Chu Xun nodded slightly and said, “This is the Evil Spirit of Tiger.”
“What are you talking about?” The amiable old man was curious.
“Do you want to know?” Chu Xun looked at him teasingly.
Looking at Chu Xun’s expression, the amiable old man could not help feeling uneasy in his heart. When he heard Chu Xun’s question, he shook his head hurriedly to refuse. “It must be sothing bad.”
“Chief, how long has this painting been hanging here?” asked Azure Dragon. He was also a grandmaster, so in the face of the amiable old man, he also had the right of speech.
“It has been there for nearly half a year. What is wrong with this painting?” The amiable old man stared at the painting curiously for a long ti, but could not see anything amiss.
Azure Dragon was also feeling doubtful. He looked at Chu Xun and asked, “Sir, why can’t the chief see it?”
“He is just an ordinary person, so he can’t see it.” Chu Xun said indifferently.
“What can’t I see?” The amiable old man was dissatisfied. “What the hell are they talking about?”
“Chief, there’s a big problem with this painting,” Azure Dragon said.
“What is the problem? What is wrong?” The amiable old man was curious.
“I don’t know, either.” Azure Dragon scratched his head and said awkwardly.
The amiable old man was speechless for a while. Then he turned to look at Chu Xun and asked, “What is the matter with this painting?”
“Nothing serious. There are just a few mistakes in this painting,” Chu Xun said.
The amiable old man looked at him sideways and grumbled unpleasantly, “I thought it was sothing important that made both of you so nervous. It is just a few errors. It does not matter then.”
Chu Xun looked at him with a strange smile and said gloomily, “That’s right. It’s no big deal, but you only have half a year to live...”
“Yes, I can only... what?” The amiable old man’s eyes popped in surprise and he jumped up.
