Chapter 313
Yes, when he was with his grandmother, he also helped take care of the neighbor's
Holding a crying baby in his arms, Cheng Hui felt completely numb.
Yes, when he was with his grandmother, he also helped take care of the children of the neighbors next door, so he understood the various needs of children.
But... even if I understand him, he still can't produce milk...
There were a lot of edible things in his ring, but none of them were suitable for children. So, the newborn baby cried for a while but got no response, so he could only fall asleep with his finger in his mouth.
There were still tears on the baby's white and tender cheeks. This devil was born weak, and even his crying sounded like a kitten, weak and powerless.
Cheng Hui couldn't help but sigh. This child was destined to have a bad future. He thought about it, took out a few grains of golden sand from his sea of consciousness, and sprinkled them on the devil.
The golden sand quickly merged into the child's body, making his complexion visibly better, and even the black energy between his eyebrows faded a little.
Cheng Hui pinched the child's face. The child was too young and could only absorb a limited amount of merit and virtue. He could only help him up to this point.
Although these grains of gold sand cannot help him change his fate, they can give him a strong body. This way, even if he encounters danger, he will at least have a chance to escape.
After returning to Beizhou City, the two did not go to the Ou family immediately.
When they were at the Ou family before, Lin Qingyang noticed that Ou Lingruo's control over the family was declining. Now when they go back, it is hard to say whether they will be greeted by the warm and hospitable Ou Lingruo or someone with ill intentions.
Although they didn't suffer much loss in the battle, outsiders don't know about it!
What if they think that even if two Jindan cultivators win in a battle with Yuanying cultivators, it will be a miserable victory, and they want to take advantage of the situation?
Anyone who has the courage to attack them will be shown no mercy by either Cheng Hui or Lin Qingyang, which means that once a fight breaks out, it will definitely end in a life-and-death struggle.
Once the original cooperative relationship involves the lives of the Ou family, something unexpected will happen.
For safety reasons, it is better to meet outside. At least, they can make preparations in advance. If there is really an idiot who wants to take advantage of the situation, they can control the person first and then hand him over to Ou Lingruo to deal with.
He picked up a random boy on the street and gave him a piece of silver to deliver the letter.
Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang sat in a teahouse not far from the Ou family, drinking tea slowly and looking at the Ou family's gate from afar.
After the child knocked on the door, he told the message to the guard at the door.
The guard quickly went in to deliver the letter, and the child completed his task and skipped away.
After a while, a group of people came out aggressively and hurried towards the restaurant in the west.
"Well, it's really not surprising at all." Lin Qingyang said expressionlessly.
Cheng Hui also showed a helpless expression. He always felt that some people's choices in novels were stupid as hell. He even doubted how a human with normal IQ could make such a choice?
However, the facts prove that... some people are really stupid, the kind that cannot be cured by medicine.
"No... What on earth were they thinking? We killed the Nascent Soul cultivator. Who gave them the courage to attack us?" Cheng Hui was really puzzled. Are these people so reckless?
Lin Qingyang chuckled, "Because of greed and luck. The gap between a Jindan cultivator and a Yuanying cultivator is huge. If this ghost lord wasn't naturally nemesis to you, we wouldn't have been able to deal with him so easily."
Cheng Hui nodded. Indeed, he and Lin Qingyang had a good chance of defeating a Nascent Soul cultivator by combining their strength. However, that was based on a sneak attack and the use of the Red Lotus Karma Fire. Even a Spiritual Transformation cultivator, let alone a Nascent Soul cultivator, would suffer a heavy loss if they weren't careful.
The reason why the Ghost Lord died so easily and miserably was mainly because the Corpse Puppet Sect's skills were deceptive to him.
They are the only one who can refine corpses to look like humans, making them undetectable from the outside.
If the Ghost Lord knew Cheng Hui's background and prepared some targeted items in advance, the result might be different.
After those people left, another group of people ran out from the Ou family soon.
This time, the team was led by a middle-aged man with a furrowed brow, looking very annoyed. Behind him followed a kind-looking old man, who smiled and said, "Seventh Brother, don't worry."
The middle-aged man turned around and glanced at the old man, with a helpless look on his face: "Uncle San, why did you follow me? Those little bastards are getting bolder. I'll just teach them a lesson. Why do you have to go over there?"
The old man still smiled and said, "Third brother, your apology must be sincere."
The middle-aged man frowned: "Isn't my sincerity enough to go there?"
"Not enough..." The old man's smile faded slightly. "Third brother, our Ou family has been in Beizhou City for too long. Although this place is not a remote place, it is far away from Zhongzhou. The fighting between cultivators is not that fierce. It has made everyone in the family stupid."
The old man's rude words also scolded the middle-aged man, but the middle-aged man did not show any dissatisfaction.
This old man is the one with the highest cultivation level in the Ou family. He is also kind and dotes on the younger generation. No matter who asks him questions about cultivation, he will be happy to give guidance.
The most important thing is that in the entire Ou family, only this old man went to Zhongzhou for training when he was young and came back alive.
The rest of them either died quietly in unknown places or did not even dare to step out of the borders of the Xixuan Dynasty.
The old man looked up into the distance, as if recalling something: "The struggle in Zhongzhou is more brutal than you imagine." He glanced at the middle-aged man and asked, "Why do you think I came back?"
"Isn't it because he has achieved great success in his cultivation that he can return home in glory?" the middle-aged man asked in surprise.
The old man glared at him with a look of disappointment on his face. "Idiot, you only said that to fool outsiders. If I were doing well out there, why would I come back? The resources in Zhongzhou are much more abundant than here, and I have a greater chance of reaching the Nascent Soul stage there."
"Seventh Brother, I'm telling you, you have to remember that there are differences between cultivators. We're both Jindan cultivators, but I can defeat seven, or even seventeen, of you. That's not just because you're only in the early Jindan stage, while I'm in the late Jindan stage. More importantly, I have countless times more combat experience than you. Haven't you always wanted to ask if there's anyone you can challenge above your level? I can tell you right now, there are! And such people are the ones you'd better never mess with!"
"Not to the point of..." The middle-aged man choked back his unfinished words under the old man's cold gaze.
"As for that!" the old man said sternly, "Knowing that the other party is powerful, yet still thinking of testing them, that's not caution but stupidity! Don't think I don't know your little tricks. You want to let those young people test the other party. If they succeed, that would be great. If they fail, as long as you show up and apologize immediately, the other party may not get angry for Lingruo's sake, right?"
The middle-aged man turned his face away and said nothing, obviously with this in mind.
"Hmph!" The old man snorted coldly, "Put away your little thoughts! You must know that some people cannot be provoked, and two people who can kill Yuanying cultivators and still return seemingly unscathed are such people!"
"Yes!" The middle-aged man obviously respected the old man and did not feel angry even when being scolded.
The old man looked at the middle-aged man called the Seventh Old Man and shook his head secretly. The Ou family has been getting worse and worse in recent generations. Fortunately, Lingruo is here. As long as they can get through this difficult time, with Lingruo's ability, they will definitely be able to run the Ou family even more brilliantly.
"Then... Uncle San, should we rush over and stop those kids now?" After being persuaded by the old man, the middle-aged man became a little nervous.
Originally, he thought that Cheng Hui and the other two were Ling Ruo's friends, so they would at least give him some face, and at least the lives of those guys should be saved.
But after being reminded by his third uncle, he realized that anyone with outstanding strength would have a temper that was directly proportional to his strength. If he tried to test him wrongly, it would really be easy to lose someone's life. Although those little bastards were all playboys, they were also playboys of the Ou family. If they were killed in the street, their Ou family would lose all their face.
Therefore, we should speed up and try to stop them before they reach the restaurant.
The old man shook his head. "Seventh Brother, you have to remember that all accomplished people may have different personalities, but caution is undoubtedly one of their indispensable qualities. They were able to kill even a Nascent Soul cultivator, so how could they not consider the possibility of infiltration into the Ou family? Furthermore... they witnessed the situation at home before, so I'm guessing... they weren't in that restaurant. Am I correct?"
After the old man finished his last sentence, he looked up at the second floor of the teahouse and happened to meet Cheng Hui's gaze.
Pah pah pah——
Cheng Hui clapped his hands softly, then jumped down from the second floor of the teahouse. "No wonder they say that an old man in the family is like a treasure. The old man is indeed wise."
Lin Qingyang followed closely behind, holding the child and landing lightly beside him, looking at the middle-aged man with a cold gaze.
Thinking that the other party had heard everything he and others said clearly, the middle-aged man suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, he had no bad intentions, otherwise he would have been beheaded by now.
When he heard the news before, he didn't believe it. He thought it was impossible for two Jindan cultivators to remain unscathed by the attack of Yuanying cultivators. But now, judging from their aura, there was indeed nothing unusual about the two men, at least he couldn't see any.
The middle-aged man gave Lin Qingyang a polite yet awkward smile, and then stood obediently behind his third uncle, allowing his third uncle to communicate with the two.
Ahem... People who can do things for the family, let’s not talk about other aspects for now, anyway, they must have thick skin.
Although everyone understands what is going on, I can avoid embarrassment by pretending to be confused.
The middle-aged man knew that his words might have offended both of them. Even if they didn't bother him with such a thing, they certainly wouldn't be happy to see him. So he asked his third uncle to take over and communicate with the other party. When he returned, he would take the initiative to find someone to replace him.
Family, family, there are other people besides him, just communicate with someone else, it’s not a big problem!
But...how did these two people go out and bring back a child? Where did this child come from?
The middle-aged man fell into deep thought...
With the old man's sincere apology, Cheng Hui didn't insist on holding on to this point.
Of course, the main reason was that their actions did not pose a real threat to him and Cheng Hui, so there was nothing wrong in letting them go.
Besides, he was still thinking about going to study in someone else's treasured place, and sometimes he had to pretend to be confused.
