Chapter 114 Wuxia: Not a Substitute (10)
"Host, you... you just left like that?"
The system is unsure.
Changqing closed the door and lay down.
"My show is over, and naturally someone else will take over. That's what makes it interesting. Let's just watch the show."
The system immediately became interested.
"Then I'll go take a look!"
Before long, the system screen appeared in front of Changqing, showing the scene in the next room.
Wang Lei had already stood up and was pacing back and forth in the room, looking anxious.
Lin Yue'e appears to have already gone back to her room to rest and is not in the frame, while Zhao Meng is still sitting there, his eyes wide with anger, clearly furious.
Zhao Meng was indeed furious.
Moreover, he felt a little panicked.
What does Wang Lei mean by this? That kid has already left, yet he still hasn't released his acupoints?
Did he really want him to lure away the pursuers?
How could he be so selfish!
I was just trying to help him and take in the father and son out of kindness, but he repaid my kindness with ingratitude and treated me like this!
Zhao Meng took a deep breath and tried to break through the acupoints by channeling his internal energy, but it had little effect and instead made his body feel even more sore and weak.
However, it was clear that Wang Lei had also noticed Zhao Meng's actions.
He hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward, suddenly knelt down, and kowtowed repeatedly to Zhao Meng.
"Brother Zhao, please forgive me. You already have a son, so the Zhao family will have a successor. Please help your brother out one more time, okay?"
“Brother Zhao, you are the most righteous person I, Wang Lei, know. If I survive this ordeal, I will definitely erect a monument to honor you in the future. You are the greatest benefactor of our Wang family!”
Wang Lei, with red eyes, talked to himself.
Zhao Meng's face contorted, and he opened his mouth, making a hoarse sound.
Who the hell wants you to erect a monument?
What does your Wang family's business have to do with Zhao Meng?
At this moment, he felt immense regret; he shouldn't have let this person into his home!
As Wang Lei kowtowed, he muttered to himself, expressing his gratitude and reminiscing about how they met. To Zhao Meng, however, it sounded like the whispers of a demon. His eyes widened, almost bulging out of their sockets.
The sound of horses' hooves could be faintly heard outside for more than an hour.
Wang Lei's expression changed, and he stood up.
"Brother Zhao, until we meet again!"
He clasped his hands in a fist salute again, tightened his belt, and walked outside, seemingly about to make a quick getaway.
Needless to say, his enemies must have tracked him down here. Now, since Zhao Meng is using his face, as long as he leaves, his enemies will stop hunting him down after killing Zhao Meng. As for his son—
no way.
We'll have to wait until we have another baby.
Zhao Meng was both angry and anxious, his whole body tense, and his teeth were clenched so tightly they were making a grinding sound.
Suddenly, he felt a release in his body as a surge of energy broke through his acupoints, instantly restoring his mobility.
Bang!
The next moment, he jumped up.
"Wang Lei!"
Zhao Meng shouted and pounced.
"Whoa!!!"
"Boss, there's a carriage in this yard!"
At this moment, dozens of men in black on horseback arrived outside the courtyard. A cacophony of sounds arose, and countless torches illuminated the area, making it as bright as day.
"stop!"
The leader raised his hand, and everyone stopped outside. Just then, a loud shout came from inside the house, and two figures rolled out.
Bang bang bang!
It turned out that the two were fighting.
"Wang Lei! You and your son were injured, and I kindly took you in. I never expected you to be such a wolf in sheep's clothing, actually trying to kill me and seize my property!"
One of the men, with a burly face, roared and punched another man, sending him staggering back several steps.
"They're remnants of the Wang family!"
One of the men in black recognized one of the faces and shouted.
"Don't rush into action." The leader of the men reached out to stop his subordinates, deciding to watch the show first.
Zhao Meng was furious after taking a punch. He knew perfectly well that Wang Lei was trying to confirm his changed identity. Seeing the crowd surrounding his courtyard, he panicked even more.
"You fucking bastard, you're Wang Lei! I'm Zhao Meng!"
As he spoke, he reached out and wiped his face. Once he removed the disguise from his face, his enemies would naturally know that he was not Wang Lei.
But Wang Lei on the other side obviously wouldn't give him that chance. Seeing him reach out to touch his face, he immediately rushed forward.
"You're spouting nonsense! I shouldn't have taken you in!"
He roared and unleashed a barrage of punches, raining down upon his opponent.
Wang Lei's punches were relentless and continuous, and Zhao Meng, whose strength was much weaker to begin with, didn't even have a chance to speak.
He was exhausted and even his defense was very difficult.
Finally, in a flash.
Bang!
He took a solid hit to the chest, which sent him flying backward, landing right in the middle of the group of people outside the courtyard.
"You scoundrel, prepare to die!"
Wang Lei hardened his heart, roared, and lunged forward again.
He was stopped by the leader of the men in black, who stared intently at Wang Lei.
"Brother, we have some grudges against this man. How about we handle him?"
Wang Lei immediately stopped in his tracks and let out a cold snort.
"Hehe, as long as he doesn't appear in front of me again, that's fine."
Zhao Meng, who had almost fainted, coughed up a mouthful of blood upon hearing this. He pointed at Wang Lei, his eyes filled with tangible hatred.
"You, you—"
However, before he could finish speaking, a long sword pierced his chest.
The leading man cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.
"Sir, you just said that this person had a child with him. Where is the child?"
Zhao Lei's eyelids twitched, but he didn't hesitate.
"It's right in the room!"
He stepped aside, and the leader waved his hand, causing several men to dismount and rush into the room.
Just then, Zhao Lei suddenly moved.
He suddenly leaped up, kicking a burly man in black away. He landed steadily on his horse, spurred it on, and with a long neigh, the horse galloped off like an arrow.
The burly man's expression changed, and with a sudden jerk, the long sword in his hand flew out.
clang!
With a crisp sound, it was clear that Wang Lei was prepared and blocked the weapon flying from behind him. Then, he quickly disappeared into the night.
"Boss, should we go after them?"
Someone behind me asked.
The leading man pondered for a moment, then shook his head.
"Never mind, I've heard that Zhao Meng is quite loyal. It seems he's not only loyal, but also quite clever."
At this moment, the people who rushed into the house dragged two people out. One of them was Wang Qianzhi, who was still unconscious, and the other was Lin Yue'e, who was already terrified.
"Boss."
His subordinate stepped forward to ask for instructions.
"Leave no one alive!"
With a snap, Wang Qianzhi's head was severed from his body, while Lin Yue'e suddenly cried out.
"Changqing, help!"
She suddenly broke free and scrambled towards the next room.
Changqing, who had been quietly monitoring the situation here: ...
Just as the blade was about to strike Lin Yue'e's head, he flicked his finger.
Clang!
With a crisp sound, the man in black, holding the knife, trembled and took two steps back.
"Everyone, spare this man's life."
The boy appeared on the rooftop, his voice soft.
The leader of the men in black sharpened his gaze. "Who are you?"
Changqing didn't answer, but with a flick of his wrist, three small stones hit the tree trunk in front of him with three sharp, hissing sounds, causing the thick tree to shake violently and leaves to fall in a rustling sound.
The expressions of the group of men in black changed slightly.
This skill level is probably close to second-rate.
The leader of the men in black laughed, "Since you've spoken up, young brother, then the woman doesn't necessarily have to be killed."
"Walk!"
He stretched out his long arm, grabbed Zhao Meng's corpse from the ground, and was about to leave with his men.
Just then, Changqing's voice came softly from behind.
"Since this brother is giving me face, I'll also tell you some news. The one you wanted to kill has already escaped; he's the one who just left."
The leader of the men in black stopped in his tracks. He suddenly reached out and wiped the corpse's face, and his expression changed drastically.
Disguise Techniques!
"Chase him! The one who ran away just now was the one surnamed Wang!"
He disregarded everything else, squeezed his legs together, and led a group of people like a gust of wind to chase after the direction Wang Lei had just come from.
Bang!
Zhao Meng's body was thrown in, landing next to Lin Yue'e, lying there in a twisted position.
Lin Yue'e screamed again in fright.
"Chang, Changqing, what should we do?"
She hurriedly got up and looked towards the rooftop opposite.
The moon hung on the treetops, the wind blew the leaves down, and there was no sign of anyone.
"ah!"
Lin Yue'e screamed and, not daring to linger, stumbled and ran towards the town.
...
Changqing had no intention of cleaning up this mess.
He had no intention of acknowledging her as his mother, and he only saved Lin Yue'e because she was not the main culprit in the original owner's death.
Once this matter is settled, he will naturally leave.
More than ten days later, the system sent a message that Wang Lei had successfully broken through and disappeared from the martial arts world.
"That's something I didn't expect."
Changqing pushed open the window, looked at the receding scenery on the shore, and sighed softly. He had deliberately leaked Wang Lei's information to set a trap for him, but now that he had escaped, he had no intention of making things difficult for him any further.
"What about Lin Yue'e? Is she also going to venture into the world?"
The system chuckled.
"That woman was terrified; she has a stress response to the word 'jianghu' (江湖, the martial arts world) now."
Changqing nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
At this moment, he was on a large ship sailing downstream.
A commotion erupted on the deck, apparently due to a conflict, followed by screams and a splash.
"You ignorant fools! My master, the Thousand-Faced Child, is here! Get out of here!"
A loud shout silenced everyone on deck.
The Thousand-Faced Child?
Changqing felt a chill run down his spine.
However, he had no intention of going to watch the excitement.
This world of martial arts has nothing to do with him.
He followed the ship to Jiangnan, found a scenic town and lived in seclusion there. The affairs of the martial arts world gradually faded from his memory, and he only occasionally heard the system mention them.
Ten years later.
Wang Lei led his men to storm the Shark Gang, personally killing the gang leader and avenging the Wang family, but he himself died in that battle.
"Oh, did he leave any descendants?" Changqing asked, raising an eyebrow.
System: "Yes, there are many. He really did marry several wives and have seven or eight sons and daughters..."
Changqing gave a strange look.
It seems his son and daughter are going to avenge their father again.
However, this has nothing to do with him.
"Host, Lin Yue'e is looking for her son everywhere. In recent years, whenever a young man rises in the martial arts world, she claims that he is her son, which has caused her a lot of laughter."
The system suddenly sent another message.
Changqing smiled.
"Her son died long ago."
