Chapter 101: New Year

"Xu Laoer came again today, saying he knows he was wrong and wants you to forgive him."

The siblings put away the rice and meat sent by the Qiu family together, and Xu Qing brought up the matter of Xu Laoer.

"Don't bother with him. He doesn't know he was wrong; he just can't go on living." Xu Yang was expressionless.

Xu Laoer's life was very difficult now.

Although he went to stay at his uncle's house, how could an ordinary family have extra rooms? He was living directly in the cow shed.

Although the snow had melted these past few days, it was even colder.

"Aunt came today, saying that there are several girls in the workshop who entrusted her to find you, asking if you have any plans to get married, and Li Yao is among them." Xu Qing said again.

Xu Yang left early and returned late; whoever had something to find him for could basically only tell Xu Qing.

"Li Yao..."

If he remembered correctly, this woman had once said that she would never marry anyone from Bai Shi Workshop, and if she were to marry, she would only marry someone from the city. He didn't expect that now she would take the initiative to find a matchmaker to come to the door, wanting to marry him.

Xu Yang shook his head and said: "Tell Aunt that I have no plans to get married right now!"

Xu Qing's eyes widened; Xu Yang had actually rejected even Li Yao.

"Wind-Thunder Force..."

Xu Yang went outside and struck out with a palm at a large tree.

Although he had comprehended the Wind-Thunder Force, he hadn't tested its effect yet.

There was no great movement; his palm just landed lightly on the tree trunk, and not even a sound was emitted.

Prying open the bark, he saw that the bark was intact, but the main trunk inside had already turned somewhat yellow, appearing with dense, tiny pinpricks.

He dug at it with his hand, and this area felt like it had rotted; tiny particles fell down with a rustle.

"Terrifying, it truly deserves to be a killing move aimed at experts at the major success stage of Qi Gathering."

Xu Yang was somewhat moved. If this hit a person's body, their vitality would be destroyed in an instant, and their internal organs would be beaten into meat paste.

Even an expert at the major success stage of Qi Gathering couldn't withstand it a few times.

"Brother, Third Uncle is looking for you!" Xu Qing's voice rang out.

Xu Yang frowned and returned home, only to see his uncle Xu Daxin smoking a dry pipe, sitting at the front door.

"Third Uncle!" Xu Yang said.

Xu Daxin shook off the cigarette ash and said sarcastically: "A-Yang, you're something else. Your brother finally has a chance to get ahead, and you are both in the Weiyuan Hall. As the older brother, you actually don't help him at all."

Xu Yang was expressionless: "Uncle, how do you want me to help?"

This father and son were simply more shameless than the other. The son was rejected, and the father actually came again.

Xu Daxin seemed not to have expected Xu Yang to be so easy to talk to this time, and his expression was somewhat caught off guard.

However, he quickly reacted, thinking that Xu Yang was embarrassed to reject the face of an elder like him.

He immediately said: "Aren't you already a martial artist? You should take some time to guide him more in practicing that Turtle-Snake Stance, and take some money to support him in practicing martial arts. When he becomes a martial artist master in the future, he will naturally repay you and won't forget your kindness."

"Can't help!"

Xu Daxin's breath hitched: "You... are you playing with me?"

He reacted; Xu Yang had no intention of helping at all, just playing with him.

Xu Yang said calmly: "Does Uncle still remember the time I went to your house to borrow grain that year?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Daxin could no longer maintain his posture of relying on his seniority, and his old face flushed red.

That year, when Xu Yang went to his house to borrow grain, he didn't even let Xu Yang enter the door. Not only did he not lend it, but he also told Xu Yang to get out quickly and not to be at his house.

He didn't expect that Xu Yang would still remember things from his childhood.

"Uncle's family didn't have grain that year either. If we had, how could we not have lent it to you."

Always a shameless person, Xu Daxin quickly had an excuse.

Whether they had it or not, Xu Yang naturally knew; how could one go to someone who didn't have grain to borrow grain?

Not lending it was one thing, but the key was that he also cursed people.

"Uncle, you go back. I don't even care about Xu Laoer's life or death now, let alone your family, who I still have no relationship with. Don't open your mouth and call me brother in the future; you don't deserve it, and I don't owe you anything."

Xu Daxin's old face flushed red, and the hand holding the dry pipe trembled somewhat, half from anger and half from regret.

If he had known Xu Yang would be so successful, he would have lent him grain back then.

"A-Yang, Third Uncle has no money. I beg you to help A-Zheng. Only you can help him. Once he becomes a martial artist, he will repay you doubly."

For the sake of his son's future, Xu Daxin began to plead.

Xu Yang didn't believe a single word of this. Besides, was it so easy to become a martial artist?

Did he really think that if his innate talent was the same as his own, he could become a martial artist 100%?

He didn't want to say anything more and immediately said coldly: "Don't pester me anymore. I might not be able to help Xu Zheng become a martial artist, but I think destroying him is absolutely very simple."

Xu Daxin's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly said: "Okay, Uncle won't say anything more. I'll leave right now."

"Old shameless thing!"

Watching Xu Daxin's back as he left in a sorry state, Xu Qing couldn't help but curse. ===== CHAPTER 102 =====
