Chapter 62: Killing Tribulation

"Brother, is my grandfather alright now?" Huang Yiqiang asked nervously.

"The Main Gu has already been expelled, there are no major problems left. As long as he recuperates well, he will recover very soon," Chen Yu said. "However, if possible, Fourth Master Huang should go to the Witch Clan to take a look."

"Once a girl of the Witch Clan sets a Love Gu, she will not marry for the rest of her life, waiting for that man to return. If that man does not return, even if she dies, she cannot be buried in the ground or entered into the ancestral hall," Chen Yu said.

"Alright, I understand. Many thanks, Mr. Chen." Fourth Master Huang nodded heavily.

"This little brother actually understands the Talisman Water Technique. I wonder which master's disciple he is?" Duan Tianming, who was to the side, had already changed his tone to one of respect.

"My master?" Chen Yu paused. He had obtained the Great Profound Sacred Clarity Scripture on the execution ground by chance, and he did not know which master it was inherited from. He shook his head and said, "My master is a divine dragon wandering the world; even if I told you his name, you wouldn't know it."

"An expert, truly an expert. I offended you just now." Duan Tianming cupped his hands. "Let's get acquainted; I am Duan Tianming."

"I have long heard of your name. Mr. Duan's Mysterious Arts of Yin and Yang are peerless in the Esoteric Sect world, perfectly avoiding the Five Imperfections and Three Shortages. You are truly formidable," Chen Yu smiled.

"I am a disciple of the Xuanji Sect. The Mysterious Arts of my sect are not bound by the Five Imperfections and Three Shortages," Duan Tianming said with some pride.

"The Xuanji Sect only passes its teachings to one person per generation. Although every successor has avoided the Five Imperfections and Three Shortages, none of them have lived to a ripe old age or met a good end. Do you know the reason for this?" Chen Yu smiled.

"What is the reason?" Duan Tianming's breath hitched. The Mysterious Arts of his sect indeed had their unique aspects, but as Chen Yu said, although they avoided the Five Imperfections and Three Shortages, when counted up, there was no one who met a good end. He had always been unable to figure out the reason for this.

"There is no perfect solution in this world. The Four Abandonments and Two Tribulations are hard to break through. The Four Abandonments are Form, Valley, Heart, and Emotion. If you cannot break the Four Abandonments, you cannot escape the Two Tribulations: the Killing Tribulation and the Fallen Demon Tribulation. I see your Purple Mansion is dim, and your Yin and Yang are misplaced. Within half a year, you will surely encounter the Killing Tribulation."

"Sir, save me..." Duan Tianming's expression changed drastically. He fell to his knees in front of Chen Yu with a thud.

This scene shocked everyone present. Duan Tianming's reputation in this line of work was extremely high. Usually, even when leaders looked for him, he would put on airs, yet a few words from Chen Yu actually made him kneel and beg for his life?

In fact, Chen Yu had hit the point Duan Tianming feared most in his heart. The successive successors of the Xuanji Sect could not escape the Killing Tribulation and the Fallen Demon Tribulation. His master had fallen into the path of the Demon after achieving success and ended his own life in the abyss. Could it be that he, too, could not escape the Killing Tribulation?

"Get up. Later, I will give you something to help you escape this tribulation," Chen Yu said.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen. Your great kindness and virtue, I will never forget for as long as I live." Duan Tianming was overjoyed and kowtowed three times before carefully standing up.

"Chen Yu, thank you so much today. If it weren't for you, my old man really wouldn't have been able to escape this tribulation." When seeing Chen Yu off, Huang Yiqiang was full of gratitude.

"Qiang Ge, you are too polite. Your old man was willing to step forward for me, so it is only right that I help him," Chen Yu laughed.

"Haha, alright then, I won't be polite with you. That kid Xia Tian is investing in an entertainment company and is about to release a new drama. I heard he hired a popular celebrity. Let's go, we'll go find him for a drink and take a look at that female celebrity while we're at it," Huang Yiqiang chuckled.

Xia Tian was indeed busy investing in the new drama. It started filming today, and Chen Yu and Huang Yiqiang arrived at the set.

Xia Tian was the main investor and was busy handling some matters. Huang Yiqiang seemed to have run into an old flame, so he shamelessly left Chen Yu alone on the set.

Chen Yu was helpless and had to find a corner to sit down and wait for Huang Yiqiang and Xia Tian.

"What is wrong with you? How can you not even handle such a small matter? I said I only wanted a Starbucks low-carb mocha, what do you mean by bringing me this instant one?"

Just at this moment, a woman wearing sunglasses scolded a girl: "Are you a pig? Even a pig can grunt a few times. You're so clumsy, how could the company arrange a piece of trash like you to be my assistant?"

Chen Yu found this woman in sunglasses familiar; she seemed to be some female celebrity who had a few popular dramas, but Chen Yu did not follow stars and could not remember who she was.

It was the girl who made Chen Yu pause. Wasn't this his neighbor's little sister, Mu Yanhong? She was a few years younger than Chen Yu and used to follow him around playing every day when they were little. She should have graduated from university by now.

"I'm sorry, Sister Ning. It's too far from the city center here, there are no coffee shops nearby." Mu Yanhong kept her head down and apologized incessantly. "I'll go to the city center to buy it right now."

"Go to the city center to buy it? It's dozens of kilometers away from the city center. How long will it take you to go and come back? Don't you have work to do? I'm curious where the company found a piece of trash like you," the woman in sunglasses scolded mercilessly.

Mu Yanhong's face was flushed red, and she was so ashamed she didn't know where to hide. She just kept bowing her head and apologizing...

"I don't care what method you use, I want to see the mocha I asked for within five minutes. Figure it out yourself. If you can't get it, get out of here immediately. I don't need such a stupid assistant," the woman in sunglasses scolded.

"But Sister Ning, it's really impossible to buy it here," Mu Yanhong said in a difficult position.

"Impossible to buy? Why don't you go die?" The woman in sunglasses was furious. She grabbed the cup of instant coffee in her hand and splashed the entire cup onto Mu Yanhong.

The coffee was still very hot. Mu Yanhong let out a scream, and the skin exposed was scalded bright red.

"What are you doing?" Chen Yu was startled. He stepped forward, pushed the woman in sunglasses away, reached out to grab a bottle of water from the table, unscrewed the cap, and used it to cool Mu Yanhong down.

Mu Yanhong was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face. She endured the pain and kept apologizing.

Chen Yu ran to a nearby refrigerator and took out some ice cubes: "Hold the ice cubes against the injury to cool it down. The coffee wasn't that hot, don't worry."

"Thank you." Mu Yanhong thanked Chen Yu while saying in a panic: "I'm sorry, Sister Ning, I'll go find a way right now."

"Who are you? You dare to meddle in my, Zhou Ning's, business? What does it have to do with you if I discipline my own assistant?" The woman was furious after being pushed away by Chen Yu. "Mu Yanhong, pack your things and get out of here yourself. I don't need a retard like you as an assistant."

Mu Yanhong was scolded and scalded, yet she dared not offer the slightest rebuttal. She just kept bowing her head and apologizing.

"You can pack your things and leave, but you must apologize to her," Chen Yu said coldly.

"Who are you?" Zhou Ning took off her sunglasses. "Look clearly at this face of mine. Do you not know who I am?"

"It doesn't matter who you are. Either you apologize voluntarily today, or I will force you to apologize," Chen Yu said angrily.

"Are you Brother Xiaoyu?" Mu Yanhong finally recognized Chen Yu. She hurriedly stopped Chen Yu, who was about to take action: "Brother Xiaoyu, forget it. I'm fine, let's go."

"It's alright, Honghong. With me here, no one can bully you," Chen Yu said. "This woman must apologize today."

"Apologize? You want me to apologize to a female assistant? Are you out of your mind?" Zhou Ning sneered. "I fire several assistants like this pig every year. Even if I were to apologize, do you think she would dare to accept it?"

"She's just a lowly little assistant, what qualifications does she have? My fans could drown her with a single spit each."
