"What? Who are you?"
Xia Che glanced at him. Through his interactions with Ning Zheyuan and Cao Ying, he had become quite adept at recognizing that Xing Zhicheng's clothes were of high quality.
Looks like they've come looking for their master again...
He's probably a rich person.
I just don't know who the other party is. Is it someone from the Jiang City Chamber of Commerce?
Or is he the owner of a company in Jiang City who wants to ask the master for help?
Xia Che knew Su Miaorou well. This immortal was not just good at fighting. If she were only good at fighting, she wouldn't deserve the title of "land immortal".
Su Miaorou is quite accomplished in feng shui and medicine, not to mention other things like talismans, the Eight Trigrams, yin and yang and the five elements.
Xia Che has always held a rather mischievous view, which is...
His own master suffered because of his lack of education.
If Su Miaorou had ever been to school, her title would be similar to Chu Yuying's, with something like "Ultimate High School Level" added before her name.
But how can someone who has never been to school add it?
Xia Che would laugh every time he thought of this idea, but he never dared to say it to his master.
"It's like this... We heard that Master Su lives here, and we thought we'd pay him a visit while we were in Jiang City. May we ask what brings you here, young friend?"
Xing Zhicheng's eyes flickered as he glanced at Zhuo Lu. They exchanged a brief look and tacitly concealed the Xing family's origins.
Before we know this kid's background, it's best not to be too honest and tell him everything...
"Oh, so those luxury cars down the mountain belong to you?"
Xia Che suddenly realized that this person was indeed a rich man.
Having a racing team that rivals Ning Zheyuan's, along with followers and beautiful women by his side, it seems highly likely he's here to ask his master for a favor.
"Exactly."
Xing Zhicheng nodded with a smile.
"Alright, then please make yourselves at home. She should be practicing her martial arts; you'll see her in a little while."
Xia Che didn't recognize the two people in front of him, but considering they might be there to deliver money to his master, and perhaps if he played the victim in front of his master, he could get a share of the profits, his initial perfunctory attitude subtly changed. He quickly added, "I'm really sorry about earlier. I didn't know they were your people. They suddenly yelled and startled me, so..."
"It's alright, it's alright. They're the ones who don't know the rules. I should be the one apologizing."
Xing Zhicheng's lips twitched.
Did I scare you?
Who really scared whom?
Does having a loud voice mean you deserve to be beaten up? That's ridiculous.
But Xing Zhicheng was no ordinary man; his cunning and scheming were deeper than a ghost's. He instantly grasped the implication in Xia Che's words that he naturally regarded this courtyard as his own home.
This kid is indeed closely related to Master Su. Judging from his posture, it's like he's come home. Could he be Master Su's younger brother or something?
Xing Zhicheng's eyes flickered. He wasn't sure of Xia Che's true identity, but seeing that the other party seemed unwilling to say more, he didn't dare to ask further. He could only smile and sit on the bamboo chair next to him. Facing Zhuo Lu's questioning gaze, Xing Zhicheng slowly shook his head.
I glanced over and saw Xia Che walk straight into the courtyard, strolling leisurely as if he had returned to his own home. Then, facing the closed bamboo house, he went up and stomped twice. After confirming that no one was inside, he went to the back mountain under the waterfall with a somewhat disappointed expression.
This scene made Xing Zhicheng's eyebrows twitch wildly, and he felt as if his worldview was about to collapse.
Depend on!
Who exactly is this person?
That's Master Su's door!
How dare you kick like that?
This isn't just disrespecting Master Su; it's blatantly disregarding him!
Who exactly is this person?
"Mr. Xing..."
Zhuo Lu was equally shocked. The legendary Master Su was unpredictable and terrifying. Anyone who dared to disrespect her would have their ashes scattered. How could this kid who looked younger than her be so arrogant?
"Don't worry about it for now, let's observe and see what happens..."
Xing Zhicheng suddenly felt his collar was a little tight, making it hard for him to breathe. After loosening it, he let out a deep breath and said, "Contact a few brothers to come up and carry them down to the hospital. Then... we'll sit here and wait until Master Su comes out."
"As for that blond kid, let's just pretend we didn't see him."
Xia Che's figure became increasingly mysterious in Xing Zhicheng's mind. After all, his natural demeanor, as if he were at home, was impossible to fake. This kid definitely had some connection with Master Su.
But... who exactly is he?
Someone who can be connected to Master Su can't be an unknown nobody, right?
Xing Zhicheng knew about all the talented young men, but he had absolutely no information about Xia Che at the moment.
"OK."
Zhuo Lu walked to the side, took out her phone, and began to order people to come up and move the two unconscious subordinates away.
"And...is it just my imagination?"
Xing Zhicheng stroked his chin, his brows furrowed. Xia Che's face was deeply etched in his mind. After a long while, Xing Zhicheng murmured, "I feel like this kid looks familiar... Where have I seen him before?"
This vague sense of familiarity made Xing Zhicheng vaguely sense an ominous atmosphere.
The harder she tried to remember, the more blurred her memory became. She had initially thought Xia Che's appearance was familiar, but now she couldn't recall where she had seen him before.
"Tsk..."
Xing Zhicheng sat on a bamboo chair, lit a cigarette, and his eyes flickered in and out of focus in the smoke he exhaled.
...
Whoosh—
In the hearts of Chinese people, waterfalls have always represented endless flow, and many poets have been inspired by waterfalls to write verses that have been passed down through the ages.
This has led many talented and extraordinary individuals, when they grow weary of worldly struggles and choose to live in seclusion, to select a place with a waterfall to purify their souls.
"Phew... Damn it, no matter how many times I climb it, this damn little hill is still so hard to climb."
Suddenly, a blond-haired man appeared on the mountaintop behind the waterfall, panting heavily. He finally threw himself onto the grassy area at the top of the mountain and stretched out his limbs comfortably.
"I'm going to die... I've done as much exercise as I have in the past six months. My physical strength is seriously over the limit. I'm going to die..."
Gazing at the azure and white sky, Xia Che had no heart to appreciate it, too tired to even look up.
I don't know why Su Miaorou has such a strange quirk, why does she insist on living in such a high place?
Going to see her is exhausting, involving car rides, climbing Lotus Peak, and then hiking up a small hill...
However, when faced with a problem that you can't figure out, exhausting yourself and working up a good sweat does seem to improve your mood quite a bit.
Xia Che stared intently at the sky, no longer feeling annoyed.
"Have you calmed down?"
Suddenly, a clear, cold female voice rang out in this small space.
