Xu Jinshang paused, turned his head, his gaze filled with sternness.
"Are you serious?"
"I'm your son! Would I lie to you?"
Xu Shao's eyes were filled with a cold, fierce glint. "He wants to take the little imp as his disciple, and he knows that the little imp's parents were both killed by our scheme."
"Dad, once the little imp grows up, we'll be in danger!"
Xu Shao's chilling voice struck Xu Jinshang's heart, sending a shiver through him.
Seeing his father's expression move, hatred and glee surged within Xu Shao.
I refuse to believe that even a grandmaster is invincible.
Outside of China, in this country where firearms are legal, can you still be more powerful than modern weapons?
If handguns don't work, use sniper rifles; if sniper rifles don't work, use bombs.
If this still can't get rid of this old man, I'll report it directly to the high authorities in the US.
If those politicians find out that there is such a dangerous individual within the US, will they be able to sleep soundly?
At that time, I don't believe I still won't be able to get rid of this old man.
However, all of this requires his father's support.
Now, he has already succeeded by more than half.
It's just that as soon as he looked up, preparing to tell his father his plan,
Xu Jinshang directly slapped him across the face, drawing gasps from the surrounding crowd.
Xu Shao looked at his own father with disbelief and confusion.
Xu Jinshang's eyes were wide, glaring at him with a furious look of disappointment.
"Did you feed everything I taught you to the dogs?!"
"When you captured Jian Sheng, why didn't you just kill her?"
"After spending so much time with Master Lou and Jian Sheng, when you realized Master Lou had signs of taking a disciple, why didn't you kill her beforehand?"
"You've spent so much time with Master Lou, why didn't you perform well and get Master Lou to accept you as a disciple?"
"Haven't you learned your lesson from falling out with Gu Jiangyan over a woman, which led to the collapse of our vast enterprise?"
"And now, you've turned a good situation into this mess!"
"Not only did you personally cultivate an enemy with a grudge of patricide for us! You also personally pushed Master Lou towards our enemies!"
Xu Jinshang roared in anger. If he only had this one son!
He wished he could strangle this rebellious son who, by himself, had caused the Xu family to be ruined!
If it weren't for this rebellious son! Would he have had to abandon the excellent situation in China and choose to cut his losses and flee to the US?
Xu Shao, dazed by the slap, covered his cheek and looked at his father in disbelief.
"What are you still standing there for? Get in the car quickly, you disgraceful thing!"
Xu Jinshang was truly furious. After scolding his son, he got into the car.
Naturally, he didn't see the perverse, twisted coldness and madness in his son's eyes as he covered his face.
-
The stretched Maybach drove into a beach area, and Cheng Zhixian got out of the car first.
On the cliff, a luxurious villa stood facing the sea.
White waves crashed against the golden sand, creating the sound of the salty sea.
Cheng Zhixian spread his arms, making a gesture of embracing the sea.
"Old Lou, this is my private beach. What do you think of it?"
Lou Jusheng felt the direction of the sea breeze. He saw the little girl standing beside him, seemingly captivated by the scenery.
With a hint of testing, he asked:
"Sheng Sheng, what do you think?"
Jian Sheng lowered her head and thought very seriously.
Then she asked, "Grandpa Cheng, how old are you this year?"
Cheng Zhixian raised his eyebrows. Had the old man Lou truly reformed and decided to formally take on a disciple?
He had thought this little child was meant for his cultivation, like Lou's previous disciples.
He became more serious, wanting to see what abilities this little girl possessed.
What made Lou old man make an exception!
He calculated and said, "This old man is already 129 years old."
Jian Sheng's small mouth opened in surprise, as if she couldn't believe it.
Cheng Zhixian raised his head proudly.
Hmph, little girl, so what if you become Old Lou's disciple?
You still have no worldly experience!
Lou Ju's mouth twitched, "You're 129 years old, and you're already this old. What's there to be proud of?"
"You're a disgrace to Foundation Establishment cultivators! Spitting!"
What followed was Jian Sheng witnessing a quarrel between two old children.
One moment they were verbally sparring, the next they were arguing from childhood to adulthood.
Jian Sheng found it incredibly amusing.
Foundation Establishment cultivators would gain an additional two hundred years of lifespan on top of their original lifespan.
However, both of them looked like they were on their last legs. Either their foundations were damaged by severe injuries, or they had shortened their lifespans due to practicing evil cultivation techniques.
Through the evil aura on their bodies, it was clear they were the latter.
Yet, watching them bicker, one couldn't tell they were murderous rogue cultivators.
However, as Jian Sheng listened, her expression gradually changed.
The two men were arguing from the present to the past, from childhood to adulthood.
Initially, their arguments were within normal bounds, but later, they became increasingly reckless, showing no regard for Jian Sheng's presence.
Jian Sheng also realized at this moment that Lou Jusheng was already over 130 years old.
Cheng Zhixian came to the US during the turbulent period of foreign invasion and quickly established himself through his own abilities.
Lou Jusheng's life in China was much more legendary.
As he recounted, he had saved many people and harmed many others.
The people he killed during the turbulent era did not affect him.
However, after the founding of New China, he faced the state's reckoning, so he had to flee the country and develop in Southeast Asia.
Even though he only had Qi Refining cultivation at the time, the few things he casually revealed were still revered as divine by others.
Later, as China opened up, Lou Jusheng returned to China under a new guise.
Jian Sheng listened to their mutual exposures of each other's shortcomings, and she was shocked.
This was hardly a quarrel between ordinary people; it was two heinous criminals exposing each other's past deeds!
Moreover, this was only what they had done when they first met.
After Lou Jusheng returned to China to develop, they had barely seen each other.
After not seeing each other for decades, they immediately started exposing each other's flaws upon meeting, getting carried away.
After they had revealed everything about each other's actions, and Lou Jusheng finally managed to suppress Cheng Zhixian with his advantage in age and cultivation.
They then realized that there was a child watching them!
If their past deeds were discovered by others...
A murderous glint flashed in Cheng Zhixian's eyes.
Lou Jusheng placed a hand on him. "Don't worry, I'll train this little one well. She won't be a problem."
Cheng Zhixian was relieved. He trusted Lou old man's methods.
For the little girl to become Lou old man's disciple, she was destined to have blood on her hands.
At that time, how could someone as tarnished as them have the right to uphold justice for others?
Thinking of this, a hint of excitement appeared in Cheng Zhixian's otherwise calm heart.
