Chapter 347

Xiao Chen is already dead?

Lin Cheng's spirit was greatly lifted: "Dead? Good death; this pig-and-dog-like beast Xiao Hua finally tasted the feeling of his children dying."

Hearing that one of the culprits who caused his daughter's death had already died, he was indescribably happy.

Sun Tao nodded: "Yes, heaven has opened its eyes; Xiao Chen died outside and didn't climb onto the Su family's thigh; it's a pity that the old dog Xiao Hua was punished to guard Qingshan, and the disciple couldn't see his grief-stricken appearance with his own eyes."

"This is not heaven opening its eyes."

Lin Cheng looked at Xu Yang with burning eyes: "You killed this beast Xiao Chen, right."

The world thought Xu Yang's talent was only a little worse than Lu Ren's, but he knew Xu Yang's talent far exceeded Lu Ren's; he had practiced martial arts for not long before he practiced the Wind-Thunder Strength, and at the time of the Martial Arts Examination, he feared he had already comprehended the Hunyuan Strength.

Lu Ren had reached Major Success Gang Qi in the Profound Heaven Sect; how could Xu Yang still be only Minor Success Gang Qi.

A person who hid most of his strength even for the Martial Arts Examination couldn't possibly not hide anything in a dangerous place like the Profound Heaven Sect.

He knew Xu Yang's personality too well; the things he showed to the world were always only a small part of his strength.

Sun Tao widened his eyes and looked at Xu Yang in disbelief.

Master said that Junior Brother Xu killed Xiao Chen?

How could this be possible.

Xu Yang cupped his hands: "Master's eyes are like torches; Xiao Chen was indeed killed by me."

Rumble...

Sun Tao only felt a roar in his brain, his eyes widened; it was actually Junior Brother Xu who killed Xiao Chen; didn't that mean that a long time ago, Xu Yang had already reached Major Success Gang Qi, otherwise how could he have killed Xiao Chen.

"It really was you!" Lin Cheng secretly rejoiced.

Fortunately, he wasn't a loose-lipped person; Xu Yang didn't want to be exposed, so he hadn't revealed it to the outside world.

Even when he asked Xiao Hua to help look after her, he hadn't revealed Xu Yang's true talent, otherwise Xiao Hua wouldn't have let Xu Yang grow up.

"Junior Brother Xu..." Sun Tao only felt his mouth dry.

When Xiao Chen died, it seemed that even people like Li Chuyang hadn't reached Major Success Gang Qi.

Junior Brother Xu broke through to Major Success Gang Qi before Li Chuyang and the others?

Junior Brother Xu is the number one of the Ten Elites?

Sun Tao felt a sea turning in his heart; he opened his mouth to call out Junior Brother Xu, but didn't know what to say afterward.

Xu Yang said: "Senior Brother Sun, please help keep this matter secret; although the old dog Xiao Hua was punished to Qingshan for a year, he will return soon, and the Su family will also investigate this matter; Junior Brother's life is tied to you."

Lin Cheng also knew that he had exposed Xu Yang's true secret in his chaotic state of mind, so he immediately said sternly: "If you dare to mention this matter to anyone, harming Junior Brother Xu's life, I will definitely kill you."

Sun Tao's expression froze, and he raised his hand: "I, Sun Tao, swear here that if I reveal a single word of what I heard today, may I be struck by five thunders and die without a burial place."

Although shocked by what he heard, he also knew the severity of the matter.

He understood all his doubts.

No wonder Lin Cheng suddenly valued Xu Yang; it turned out that Xu Yang's true talent far exceeded Lu Ren's.

If this were to spread, the entire Profound Heaven Sect would have to have an earthquake.

Lin Cheng nodded with satisfaction; he still understood Sun Tao's character.

If it weren't for someone with such a good character, with Xu Yang's personality, it would be impossible for him to admit it in front of Sun Tao.

This proved that Xu Yang recognized Sun Tao, which was why he admitted that he killed Xiao Chen in front of Sun Tao.

"Master thanks you for avenging Xiao Wei," Lin Cheng said seriously.

Xu Yang shook his head: "Their father and son wanted to kill the disciple; the disciple couldn't just sit and wait for death; since I couldn't save Senior Sister Lin Wei, the disciple could only kill them to avenge Senior Sister Lin Wei.

Master, rest assured; when the disciple's strength is sufficient, I will send that old dog Xiao Hua to the underground to apologize to Senior Sister Lin Wei."

Lin Cheng was overjoyed: "It all depends on you, otherwise Master could only watch helplessly as the murderer of my daughter lived happily for a lifetime."

He was no longer in a hurry.

With Xu Yang's talent, killing Xiao Hua was only a matter of time; there was no need to send himself to death.

Xu Yang said: "Before the disciple killed Xiao Chen, I had already interrogated him about where Senior Sister Lin Wei's bones were; however, to avoid alerting the enemy and letting Xiao Hua know that I killed Xiao Chen, that place cannot be moved for the time being; when the disciple slashes Xiao Hua, I will notify Master to take back Senior Sister Lin Wei's bones."

Lin Cheng nodded: "Good."

The two accompanied Lin Cheng to talk for a while, and Lin Cheng's mood had calmed down, so they said goodbye and left.

Walking out of Lin Cheng's courtyard, Sun Tao gave a bitter smile: "Junior Brother Xu, you hid it from Senior Brother so bitterly."

When Xu Yang was targeted by Xiao Hua, he had worried about Xu Yang's safety, afraid that Xu Yang wouldn't be able to return if he went.

Xu Yang smiled: "Senior Brother Sun, you never asked me either."

Sun Tao thought about it; it was indeed the truth; he hadn't asked, so it didn't count as hiding it.

"Did you kill Kong Yu and the others too?" Sun Tao said.

He hadn't thought about this question before, but now knowing Xu Yang's strength, he couldn't help but associate it in this direction.

Everyone in their batch knew that Kong Yu had long wanted to kill Xu Yang, and many people thought Xu Yang had good dog-shit luck and Kong Yu was accidentally killed.

Thinking about it now, it was more likely that Kong Yu went to kill Xu Yang and was killed by Xu Yang instead.

Xu Yang smiled and nodded: "Not bad."

Sun Tao was dumbfounded; it really was Xu Yang's doing; how many things had his junior brother done behind his back.

"Please help keep it secret, Senior Brother; you should understand my personality; I don't like to be flashy," Xu Yang cupped his hands.

Sun Tao nodded: "Rest assured, Senior Brother still knows the gravity of the situation."

As the two spoke, they soon walked out of the inner courtyard.

Just at this moment, Tian Li's voice rang out from behind: "Senior Brother Xu, wait a moment."

Xu Yang looked back in confusion and saw Tian Li walking over with long strides: "Senior Brother Xu, please hurry back; it seems something happened at your uncle's house."

He had wanted to tell Xu Yang before, but there were too many people, plus the two were there to pay respects to Lin Cheng, so he had to wait patiently for Xu Yang and Lin Cheng to finish talking.

Xu Yang frowned; he had been confused before that he hadn't seen Xu Qing and Qiu Wenjie in the martial arts hall, and thought they were working hard at home for the examination; he hadn't expected something to happen.

"What happened?"

Tian Li said: "I don't know what happened either, but before you came, Junior Sister Xu Qing and Senior Brother Qiu left in a hurry."

Xu Yang nodded: "Many thanks for informing me, Junior Brother Tian."

After saying this, he walked toward the outside of the Weiyuan Hall with long strides.

"I'll go with you to see." Sun Tao chased after him.

Xu Yang shook his head: "Having not returned for two years, Senior Brother Sun should go home and see first; if there is a need, I will come to ask Senior Brother Sun again."

"Alright."

Sun Tao nodded; if even Xu Yang's strength couldn't solve it, he feared his going wouldn't be of much use.

Separating from Sun Tao, Xu Yang walked all the way to his uncle Zhou Shunchang's house.

Having not returned for two years, he had originally planned to buy some gifts, but now he didn't have that mood.

Arriving at Zhou Shunchang's house again, although it was still the original courtyard, Xu Yang discovered that the courtyard walls, eaves, and such had all been renovated and were more imposing than before.

He knew from Xu Qing's letters that the tea business in cooperation with the Qiu family had earned a lot, twenty or thirty taels every month, and now his uncle's family could be considered a small wealthy family.

"Bang bang!" Xu Yang stepped forward and knocked on the courtyard gate.

"Coming!" After a few breaths, a voice came from inside.

A smile appeared on Xu Yang's mouth; it was the little girl's voice.

"Senior Brother Qiu, you're back?"

Xu Qing opened the door, thinking it was Qiu Wenjie, but what she saw was the figure she had been thinking about day and night.

She was stunned, thinking she had encountered something and was missing her brother, and had seen wrong, so she couldn't help but rub her eyes.

"You girl, haven't seen you for two years, and you don't even know how to call people?" Xu Yang smiled.

Not seen for two years, the little girl was already standing tall, wearing a set of tight clothes, her temperament carrying a bit of competence, no longer weak.

Her height had shot up, only half a head shorter than him.

"Ah... Brother... Brother, you're back?"

The little girl shrieked, her face flushed with excitement, jumping up like she did when she was a child, hanging on Xu Yang and hugging his neck.

Fortunately, Xu Yang had been prepared, using Gang Qi to protect his ears to avoid the outcome of his eardrums hurting.

"Get down; you're already a big girl, still acting like a child," Xu Yang patted the little girl's back.

The little girl got down with a red face: "No matter how big I am, I'm still a child in front of you."

She didn't hang on him, but kept holding Xu Yang's arm, looking him up and down: "Brother, you're really good; you haven't changed at all."

Two years, she thought Xu Yang would get old, but she discovered Xu Yang was still the same.

Adding longevity every day, Xu Yang was already eternally young, so naturally, there wouldn't be any changes.

"A-Yang?"
