Chapter 55

"Second Uncle 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 Second Uncle.

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

Second Uncle's life was very difficult now.

Although he went to stay at his eldest 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 and said that several girls in the ward asked her to find you, asking if you have any plans to get married. Li Yao is among them, you know," Xu Qing added.

Xu Yang left early and returned late; whoever came to find him could basically only talk to Xu Qing.

"Li Yao..."

If he remembered correctly, this woman had once said she would never marry anyone from White Stone Ward, and if she married, she would only marry someone from the city. He didn't expect her to take the initiative to find a matchmaker to marry him now.

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 a large tree with his palm.

Although he had grasped the Wind-Thunder Force, he had not yet tested its effect.

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

He peeled back the bark, only to see that the bark was intact, but the main trunk inside had already turned somewhat yellow, appearing with dense, pin-sized holes.

He dug at it with his hand, and this area seemed to have rotted; tiny particles fell down with a rustle.

"Terrifying, it truly deserves to be a killing move aimed at experts at the Great Success of Qi Refining."

Xu Yang was moved; if this hit a person, their vitality would be destroyed instantly, and their internal organs would be beaten into pulp.

Even an expert at the Great Success of Qi Refining could not withstand it many times.

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

Xu Yang frowned. Returning home, he saw his uncle Xu Daxin sitting at the gate, puffing heavily on a dry tobacco pipe.

"Third Uncle!" Xu Yang said.

Xu Daxin shook off the ash from his pipe and said sarcastically: "A-Yang, you're something else. Your brother finally had a chance to get ahead and is in the same Weiyuan Hall as you, yet as his big 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 now the father had come.

Xu Daxin seemed not to have expected Xu Yang to be so easy to talk to this time, and his expression was 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: "Haven't you already become a martial artist? Just take some time to guide him more in that Turtle-Snake Great Stance, and give him some money to support his martial arts practice. When he becomes a martial artist master in the future, he will naturally repay you and won't forget your kindness."

"I can't help!"

Xu Daxin's breathing 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?"

Once these words were spoken, Xu Daxin could no longer maintain his posture of relying on his age to sell his seniority, and his old face turned 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 lost quickly and not stay at his house.

He didn't expect Xu Yang to 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 without grain to borrow grain?

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

"Uncle, go back. I don't even care about Second Uncle's life or death now, let alone your family, with whom I have no relationship. In the future, don't open your mouth and call us brothers; you are not worthy, and I don't owe you anything."

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

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

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

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

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 just because his aptitude was the same as his own, he could become a martial artist with 100% certainty?

He no longer wanted to say more and immediately said coldly: "Don't pester me again. I may not be able to help Xu Zheng become a martial artist, but I think it's absolutely simple for me to destroy him."

Xu Daxin's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly said: "Okay, Uncle won't say anymore. I'm leaving now."

"Old shameless thing!"

Watching Xu Daxin's retreating back in a sorry state, Xu Qing couldn't help but curse.
