Liu Dongqing's house was only a kilometer away from Liu Xiaoyuan's house. Liu Xiaoyuan arrived at Liu Dongqing's house quickly and met Zhao Haonan.
Like Chen Bo, Zhao Haonan was bruised and battered, except that he had changed out of the beggar-like clothes he was wearing.
When Zhao Haonan saw Liu Xiaoyuan, he appeared extremely angry and asked, "Why are you here?"
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Brother Zhao, are you still angry about what happened before?"
Zhao Haonan snorted coldly and did not answer, but his meaning was very clear: he was angry.
Previously in the mountains, Liu Xiaoyuan had treated him and Chen Bo like monkeys, which made Zhao Haonan so angry that he wanted to kick Liu Xiaoyuan a few times whenever he thought about it.
“Brother Zhao, I had no choice. Chen Bo is a master of internal strength, while I am just a novice at the external strength level. Moreover, Chen Bo is living in my house. What if he retaliates against my family if I fail?”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Haonan immediately stood up from his chair, staring wide-eyed at Liu Xiaoyuan: "What? You're a local?"
Liu Xiaoyuan nodded, looking ashamed, and said, "Brother Zhao, I lied to you before. I am actually a local. I had my reasons. You are all masters of internal strength, and I was afraid!"
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, Zhao Haonan was so angry that he wanted to beat Liu Xiaoyuan up, but seeing the ashamed look on Liu Xiaoyuan's face, he ultimately did not do so.
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Haonan said, "I can forgive you, but you have to do something for me!"
Liu Xiaoyuan quickly asked, "What is it?"
Zhao Haonan said, "Didn't you say Chen Bo lives at your house? Here's what we'll do: tonight you lure Chen Bo out, and I'll ambush him in the cedar forest in your village. I'm going to teach Chen Bo a lesson!"
"Well? If you handle this matter well, I'll forgive you!" Zhao Haonan said.
Liu Xiaoyuan immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I will definitely complete this task. By the way, what time should we lure Chen Bo to the cedar forest tonight?"
"Eight o'clock in the evening!"
When Liu Xiaoyuan returned home, Chen Bo had already showered and changed into clean clothes. Upon seeing Liu Xiaoyuan, he immediately asked, "How did it go? How did things go?"
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "I originally wanted to teach that bastard Zhao Haonan a lesson, but Liu Dongqing and his family were all here. You know, we're all villagers, and we'll run into each other all the time, so I couldn't just do it myself. I made an appointment with Zhao Haonan to meet at nine o'clock tonight in the cedar forest in our village."
"By the way, that bastard Zhao Haonan specifically asked you to go, saying that if you don't go, you're his son!"
Liu Xiaoyuan deliberately said the time was an hour later, in order to make Chen Bo arrive earlier and lie in ambush there.
Hearing this, Chen Bo clenched his fists in anger and cursed, "That bastard Zhao Haonan, damn it, I'll make him pay tonight!"
"Mr. Liu, we'll go there at eight o'clock tonight and ambush him in the cedar forest. As soon as that bastard Zhao Haonan arrives, we'll teach him a lesson!" Chen Bo said through gritted teeth.
At 8 p.m., after having dinner, Liu Xiaoyuan and Chen Bo rested for a while before heading to the cedar forest.
As they approached the cedar forest, Liu Xiaoyuan suddenly clutched his stomach and said in pain, "Ouch, Mr. Chen, the fermented tofu I ate tonight is making my stomach upset. I need to go to the toilet!"
Chen Bo said, "I told you not to eat too much of that stuff, but you wouldn't believe me. Go now!"
Liu Xiaoyuan responded and secretly ran away to hide in the distance.
Chen Bo stood outside the cedar forest, not going in directly. Zhao Haonan, who was lying in ambush in the cedar forest, heard their conversation and immediately tiptoed to the edge of the cedar forest, holding a bamboo pole that he had prepared beforehand.
"You bastard, I'll beat you to death, you bastard!" Zhao Haonan suddenly appeared, swinging the bamboo pole in his hand at Chen Bo.
Chen Bo had no idea that Zhao Haonan had been lying in ambush there all along, and was even carrying a bamboo pole. This caught Chen Bo completely off guard, and he was left complaining bitterly.
"Damn it, I'll fight you to the death!" After being hit by two bamboo poles, Chen Bo endured the pain and engaged in close combat with Zhao Haonan.
Bamboo poles are long weapons, and in close combat, they immediately become useless and even a burden.
As a result, Zhao Haonan accidentally got punched by Chen Bo.
Zhao Haonan simply threw away the bamboo pole in his hand and then started fighting with Chen Bo again.
The leaves of the cedar tree are all sharp and can prick a person, causing pain and even drawing blood.
So, the two of them fought on the ground, rolling around. When they rolled into the cedar forest, although their clothes provided some protection, their backs were still covered in cuts and scratches from the cedar leaves.
As they fought, the two were thinking about why Liu Xiaoyuan hadn't arrived yet, and they cursed him countless times in their hearts.
Actually, Liu Xiaoyuan was hiding not far away at this time, listening to the fight between the two, and he was overjoyed.
Seeing that it was almost time, Liu Xiaoyuan hurriedly went over, pretending to be very surprised, and quickly separated the two.
"Gentlemen, gentlemen, stop fighting. Peace is the best policy. Fighting won't solve anything. Let's talk things over, shall we?" Liu Xiaoyuan said.
The two men snorted coldly at the same time. Liu Xiaoyuan continued, "Gentlemen, listen to me. Didn't you both come here for the Blood Spirit Mushroom? Now that you haven't found it, you're fighting to the death here. Aren't you letting others get there first?"
Upon hearing this, the two were immediately taken aback. Indeed, they had come here to search for the Blood Spirit Mushroom under orders from their respective sects. If they fought tooth and nail here and someone else got there first, they would definitely suffer the consequences when they returned.
Thinking this, Zhao Haonan immediately cupped his hands to Liu Xiaoyuan and said, "Brother Liu is right. I was confused. Thank you for reminding me."
After Zhao Haonan finished speaking, he glared at Chen Bo, snorted coldly, and said, "Hmph, let's put our matter aside for now, we'll settle it with you later!"
"Hmph! I'm ready anytime!" Chen Bo said without backing down.
"Brother Liu, thank you for reminding me. I'll be going now!" After saying that, Zhao Haonan left. As he passed by Chen Bo, he snorted and glared at him.
Chen Bo also snorted coldly!
After Zhao Haonan had walked away, Chen Bo also expressed his gratitude to Liu Xiaoyuan, saying, "Mr. Liu, thank you for reminding me tonight. Otherwise, I would have fought that bastard Zhao Haonan to the bitter end and forgotten about the important matter!"
"It's nothing, you're all too kind. I was just offering a friendly reminder, there's no need to be so polite!" Liu Xiaoyuan said modestly.
Actually, Liu Xiaoyuan was secretly overjoyed. Chen Bo and Zhao Haonan had been completely manipulated by Liu Xiaoyuan, yet in the end, the two of them acted as if they were extremely grateful to him. This was a classic case of being sold out and still helping to count the money!
