A book-reading app recommended to me by a book friend of ten years, Huanyuan App! It's so damn useful! I use it to pass the time reading aloud and listening to books while driving or before bed. You can download it here.
Until he was in a daze, the charlatan brought himself to a deserted corner.
"My dear disciple, we haven't seen each other for so long. Don't you want to say something to me?" The pair of eyes in the mask under the hat revealed a strange light.
Upon hearing this, Wu Banxian took a deep breath and looked at the "master" who changed his life.
"Back then, you told me not to open the last page of those crappy books for three days, or else something terrible would happen. I believed you!"
"I waited for three whole days and was also hungry for three days before I finally mustered up the courage to turn the last page!"
"Why...why did you cheat me out of a thousand for this book priced at 35?"
"That's all the money I have!"
Wu Banxian roared.
He had kept this secret deep in his heart for a long time and never told anyone.
…
"Are you short of money?"
"Nonsense, I'm an orphan, and that was the first month's salary I earned from working after escaping from the clutches of the devil. It was because of that incident that my girlfriend suspected that I had a mental problem and broke up with me!" Wu Banxian clenched his fists and glared at the front.
The book-teaching master in front of him led him to a different path in life, but at that time, he almost succeeded in marrying into the wife's family because of his handsome appearance.
Because of this, the woman dumped me, saying that I had intellectual problems and would be bad for the next generation.
From then on, I began to be a fortune teller!
Although I was not starving to death due to the displacement, I could not say I was happy either.
…
"Here are five million, which is your compensation to you." The old man in the windbreaker took out a bank card.
Wu Banxian didn't take it and looked at the other person suspiciously.
"Would you be so kind?"
Now that he has experienced the baptism of society, he is no longer the ignorant young man he used to be.
"I read your fortune and it said you'd be rich and powerful in the future, but the prerequisite is that you start all over again..."
"hehe……"
Wu Banxian sneered. He didn't believe a word the other party said. He was also in this line of work, so how could he not know how intricate the water was.
"I'll keep this money for you. If you need it, you can always come to me. Now... I have a question for you."
"Who is Qiao Yuan? What is your relationship with him? What have you been doing these days?"
“…”
A dangerous aura was faintly emanating from the air, and the old man in the windbreaker's low and cold voice was filled with a sense of oppression.
…
"I see, you are the culprit who caused those accidents!"
Wu Banxian suddenly understood.
"Tell me who Qiao Yuan is and what he wants to do!" The old man in the windbreaker's voice was filled with irresistible majesty and deterrence.
"Do you know the person in charge? Qiao Yuan is an imperial envoy sent by the Security Bureau headquarters. He specializes in inspecting and investigating special incidents in various cities. All city leaders obey his orders and have the power to act first and report later!"
"I advise you to surrender, otherwise when the boss catches you, you won't even have a chance to be reborn!"
Wu Banxian lied without changing his expression or heartbeat.
"You have climbed up a high branch."
The old man in the windbreaker didn't pay attention to Wu Banxian's threat.
"I already know about Qiao Yuan. Now it's time to talk about you!"
"When I sold you the book, you were just an adult. Now fifty years have passed. How come you look so young? Why is the vitality in you so strong?"
"Tell me how you did it!"
The old man in the windbreaker lifted his hat and took off his mask, revealing his old, shriveled and ugly face, which looked indescribably weird.
At the same time, those bloodshot eyes flashed with excitement and madness.
…
Wu Banxian was also shocked at this time. He then remembered that the liar who sold him books fifty years ago must have been at least fifty years old.
Fifty years have passed, and the other party's real age should be at least a hundred years old.
How did he survive until now?
Even ordinary awakened people cannot do this.
"Do more good deeds and lie less. Your merits will protect you and you will get younger and younger as you grow older!" said Wu Banxian.
"You won't tell me, right? Then wait until I make you a elixir of rejuvenation!" said the old man in the windbreaker viciously.
"Haha, just you?"
Wu Banxian was not afraid at all. As a fifth-level awakener, his mental power was comparable to that of a sixth-level being, while the other party looked like his end was approaching.
Even though he couldn't beat those young awakened ones, beating this old guy was easy.
Capture this man and ask the leader for credit!
He suddenly stepped back to create some distance, and the scene of Qiao Yuan fighting kept appearing in his mind!
That’s right!
No defense, just offense!
Young and strong people are the best at boxing, and one force can break all the methods!
Wu Banxian clenched his fists, like a fierce tiger emerging from the mountains, and punched hard, attacking the old man in front of him directly!
With a punch, the old man in the windbreaker flew backwards instantly.
"Fourth-level awakener!"
In just a moment, Wu Banxian's heart calmed down.
Level 5 vs. level 4, the advantage is mine!
In the ruins in the distance, the old man in the windbreaker stood up again.
Wu Banxian sneered and swept past like the wind.
A few minutes later.
The old man in the windbreaker carried the unconscious Wu Banxian away from the scene.
