Chapter 42: Broken Promise

"Auntie, I don't want to work hard anymore."

Xigou misses this sentence very much.

To be honest, he did flirt with a wealthy woman once and felt the charm of mature women.

Hmm, endless aftertaste~~ Of course, he refused to admit defeat and shouted, "You know shit. You can win by lying down, so why do you still work hard? Fang Zhixing, you are destined to work hard in this life. I am different. I can win by lying down!"

Fang Zhixing looked down on him.

It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others. Your destiny should be in your own hands.

Winning without any effort is not a real win, it’s just taking advantage of the winner.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon.

The man and the dog walked out of the Cheng family compound and went out to eat.

"Young man, please stay."

As soon as they walked out of the alley, a middle-aged man with a smile on his face came up to them.

Fang Zhixing looked at the man carefully. He had a big belly and was well dressed. He was definitely not a poor beggar.

"Uncle, is there anything wrong?" he asked.

The middle-aged man waved and said, "Are you hungry? I'll treat you to a meal and we can chat for a while."

Fang Zhixing showed a vigilant expression and said, "I don't know you, I don't dare to go to dinner with you, what if you blackmail me?"

The middle-aged man spread his hands and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a bad person. I just want to ask you something. Come on, I'll take you to have a good meal."

Fang Zhixing was still too timid to go, and stretched out his hand and said, "You can just give me money."

Seeing this, the middle-aged man took out ten large coins from his pocket and put them in Fang Zhixing's hand, and asked, "You are the apprentice of Master Cheng, right? You live in the Cheng family compound, right?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Fang Zhixing nodded repeatedly.

The middle-aged man asked, "Did you see the hero Chenggong yesterday? Where did he go?"

Fang Zhixing was immediately shocked and hesitant, "I, I can't reveal Mr. Cheng's secrets, or I'll get beaten."

The middle-aged man immediately took out another ten large coins and stuffed them into Fang Zhixing's hand, saying with a smile: "It's okay. If you don't tell anyone, no one will know that you leaked it, right?"

Fang Zhixing lowered his head, pretending to think it was true, and replied: "Yesterday, Master Cheng stayed at home and went out."

The middle-aged man asked, "Was he home at that time in the evening?"

Fang Zhixing thought for a moment and shook his head, "In the evening, um, I'm not sure, I went out to eat at that time."

The middle-aged man looked disappointed and asked, "Well, have you ever heard Master Cheng mention Master Chen?"

"Uncle Chen..."

Fang Zhixing raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that I have mentioned it several times."

"Oh, what did he say?" The middle-aged man suddenly became excited.

Fang Zhixing replied vaguely: "He said Uncle Chen is Rabbit Lord. I don't understand what that means, why is he called Rabbit Lord?"

The middle-aged man's expression was slightly stiff. He patted Fang Zhixing on the shoulder and said seriously, "You and I know about this matter. Don't tell anyone, especially Mr. Cheng. Do you understand?"

Fang Zhixing nodded repeatedly.

The middle-aged man turned and walked away, blending into the crowd on the street.

The dog watched him go and asked in surprise, "Who is this person? Why is he asking about Cheng Tianen's whereabouts?"

Fang Zhixing was also very curious, so he said in a voice transmission: "Let's go and take a look."

The man and the dog followed slowly.

With a small dog here, it can follow the scent all the way and there is no possibility of losing it.

About half an hour later, the middle-aged man entered a large courtyard with a high gate and two stone lions placed at the entrance.

Fang Zhixing looked up and saw two large gold-painted characters written on the hanging plaque, which he did not recognize.

So he stopped a passerby and asked about the owner of this house.

"Oh my god, this is the Chen family!"

Xigou was shocked and wondered, "The Chen family is investigating Cheng Tianen. What does this mean?"

Fang Zhixing was silent for a moment, then suddenly shuddered, his expression became playful, and he pondered, "Could it be that the Chen family suspects that Cheng Tianen was the one who killed Chen Yusheng?"

“(⊙o⊙)…”

Xigou was stunned. He never expected things to develop in this direction.

But when he thought about it carefully, he felt it made sense.

He said: "Chen Yusheng is a warrior at the Great Python Realm. Looking at the entire Xiaoqinghe Town, the only person who has the ability to kill him is Cheng Tianen. Haha, no wonder the Chen family suspected that he was the murderer!"

Fang Zhixing's eyes flickered.

Seeing this, Xigou asked, "What are you thinking about? Do you want to tell Cheng Tianen about this?"

Fang Zhixing shook his head and said, "Don't worry, just wait and see what happens."

And so, the days passed.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Cheng Tianen stayed indoors all day, practicing and recuperating every day. His body recovered better and better, and the muscles on his body increased visibly.

Cheng Tianxi goes out early and comes back late, and no one knows what he is busy with.

Seven days passed in a flash.

That morning, Fang Zhixing felt that the time had come, so he walked up to Cheng Tianen and said, "Master, I have already practiced the first level of Iron Mountain Kung Fu to perfection. Can you teach me the second level?"

Cheng Tianen raised his eyebrows. He had been focusing on his own recovery these days and had not paid much attention to Fang Zhixing's progress. He asked, "How is it going? Have you awakened any explosive skills?"

Fang Zhixing answered truthfully: "Yes, it is called Iron Mountain Backrest."

"Iron Mountain Backing, it turns out to be this explosive skill!"

Cheng Tianen was neither surprised nor happy when he heard this, and said calmly: "Iron Mountain Backbone is one of the common burst skills, but to be honest, this burst skill is quite ordinary and has a great disadvantage in actual combat."

Fang Zhixing frowned and said, "For explosive skills of the same level, are there still differences in quality?"

"certainly!"

Cheng Tianen said carefully: "Although there are many kinds of explosive skills, the scenes where we use explosive skills are mostly involved in battles. If an explosive skill cannot effectively kill the enemy in actual combat, it is worthless."

"The Iron Mountain Backbone is only suitable for close combat, and you must make sure you can entangle the enemy before you have a chance to get close and butt into him."

"If you encounter warriors who are fast and agile, your Iron Mountain Backbone will be of no use at all."

After hearing these words, Fang Zhixing couldn't help but think deeply.

Then he said: "Thank you for your reminder, please teach me the subsequent skills."

Cheng Tianen was silent for a moment, then replied, "Let's talk about it in a few days. I'm in a critical period of recovery right now and I can't be distracted."

Fang Zhixing was stunned for a moment, then slowly said, "Okay, it's okay for me to wait a few more days."

So, the wait lasted for seven days.

Fang Zhixing went to see Cheng Tianen again, but was rejected by him again.

The reason is still the same, he is recovering and cannot be taught.

Fang Zhixing returned to the room with a gloomy expression.

Xigou was suspicious and asked, "What does Cheng Tianen mean? Why doesn't he want to teach you?"

Fang Zhixing glanced outside the door and found that Cheng Tianxi came out, sat under the eaves, and started talking to Cheng Tianen.

"Little dog, go and eavesdrop." Fang Zhixing said.

The little dog hurriedly slipped out.

The next moment, he heard Cheng Tianxi ask, "Brother, why don't you teach him? Didn't you say he was a martial arts genius?"

Cheng Tianen sighed: "It's not that I don't want to teach him, but I want to observe his character more. I always feel that this kid is a bit..."
