Chapter 612: Chapter 712: The Guilt in My Heart
After a long silence, someone finally realized, "What the heck is this? Isn’t this boy pretending to be blind?"
Upon hearing this, they all looked at Liu Xing, cautiously observing him to see if he was indeed pretending to be blind.
Although they knew Liu Xing had no reason to fake blindness, they just mocked him.
How could a blind person compete with an ordinary man? And an even stronger man! He must be pretending to be blind!
Li Shanxiong, who was fighting Liu Xing in the ring, became even more fearful and anxious. He couldn’t understand why a blind man would clench his fists.
He kept twisting and circling around Liu Xing, trying to find his flaws.
But Liu Xing remained guarded and did not take an offensive stance.
Li Shanxiong’s slow movements embarrassed his family; as a grown man, even fighting a blind person is humiliating, isn’t it?
A cousin in the audience roared, "Brother Shan, what are you scared of? Just hit him!"
Li Shanxiong glanced at the source of the voice and saw his father, who was looking at him with anger and contempt, which filled him with shame!
Not knowing Liu Xing’s true strength, he deliberately taunted, "You blind dog, come on, if you dare!"
His insults no longer angered Liu Xing but instead made the audience laugh again.
People mocked not Liu Xing’s cowardice but Li Shanxiong’s frightened heart.
"Blind man, go back to learn massage quickly, maybe I can take care of your business!" Li Shanxiong continued furiously.
But he didn’t receive Liu Xing’s anger; instead, he got a stern warning from Dao Long, who said, "If you insult your opponent again, I will reward you by making you lose the match!"
Hearing this, Li Shanxiong smirked and grumbled.
Li Shanxiong, who was knocked down to the ground, struggled but was powerless and couldn’t bear to fight any longer. Master Lu declared Liu Xing the winner.
Under the stunned gazes of everyone, Liu Xing slowly walked off the stage, picked up his cane, and carefully returned to the hall.
Although Zhang Dadan had decided he was also an ascetic monk, defeating Snakeweed was neither tasty nor challenging; he just congratulated Liu Xing.
Those who had mocked Liu Xing at the time, one by one, kept their heads down cautiously, afraid that Liu Xing would recognize them.
The dozens of matches in the morning quickly ended, and Xuan Qi Changren brought water and rice to the public, then led a large group of people away.
After lunch, Sunx Liancheng ventured to Zhang Dadan. "That blind man... Liu Xing, he seems quite strong. How do you know him?"
Zhang Dadan didn’t understand why he had this question and naturally wouldn’t tell the truth, so he said, "I forgot myself, what’s up?"
Sunx Liancheng took a few sips of his meal shyly and asked, "Could you tell him to be my bodyguard?"
Bodyguard? Are you kidding? Even if others say he is the ancient successor of the Wu Family, how can he be a bodyguard?
Moreover, he can’t see; even taking care of himself is difficult, so how can he be a bodyguard?
"Do you have brain blisters? Do you think he will become your little brother?" Zhang Dadan rolled his eyes contemptuously.
Sunx Liancheng felt a bit embarrassed hearing this but didn’t give up and continued to push, "Zhang Dadan, can you tell him straight? I can offer 100,000 a month!
A hundred thousand a month? Zhang Dadan couldn’t help but think deeply before confirming Sunx Liancheng wasn’t sick. He then asked directly, "Why are you interested in him? What’s the point?"
If Liu Xing were a normal person, given his skills, 100,000 a month would be reasonable.
But he can’t see, so even with profound martial arts skills, he can’t be a bodyguard; isn’t this throwing money away?
They say courage can lead to theft. Although Sunx Liancheng is a bad kid, he doesn’t waste money.
Seeing Zhang Dadan’s inquiry, Sunx Liancheng didn’t hide anymore and explained frankly, "I want him to be my bodyguard, not solely for protection but occasionally for appearance!"
Appearance? Zhang Dadan was even more puzzled; a boy as big as Sunx Liancheng with plenty of equipment but no capital, why help Liu Xing?
Sunx Liancheng explained, "I won’t hide from you anymore. Although I’m a second-generation tycoon in our city, I can’t be laughed at when I’m in the provincial city."
"Last time at the provincial party, I accidentally bumped into someone; it was a terrible disgrace. I need to make a comeback!"
"Liu Xing is blind... blind. Those second generations will surely mock me for bringing a blind man as a bodyguard. Then I will let Liu Xing shine on stage and slap their faces well!"
Listening to this, Zhang Dadan couldn’t help but joke, "You’ve planned this well, haven’t you? What did they do to you that made you so obsessed?"
Radiant Sunx Liancheng’s face darkened suddenly at Zhang Dadan’s words. What was so embarrassing? Tears speak everything; how could he be shy enough to tell?
"Never mind. Can you ask him to help me? I also enjoy the thrill of pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger!" Sunx Liancheng was nearly begging.
Pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger? You’re great, but making Liu Xing suffer the discrimination and public disgrace is just harsh.
Zhang Dadan was about to refuse him but noticed Liu Xing carefully holding his tableware while walking in the field.
He intended to get up and help him but saw Hodie suddenly standing up in front of him.
Sunx Liancheng approached Liu Xing, respectfully smiling, "Mr. Liu, may I help you by carrying your tableware?"
"Why?" Liu Xing knew these people first despised and discriminated against him, then feared his strength, and wondered why they would assist him.
Before Sunx Liancheng could answer, Zhang Dadan quickly introduced, "He is Sunx Liancheng, with me."
"So it’s Mr. Sunx, no need for any respect... I can manage myself!" Liu Xing replied politely.
Hearing this, Sunx Liancheng hesitated but then grabbed the tableware from Liu Xing’s hand, smiled, and walked to the hall’s bottom.
After Sunx Liancheng left, Liu Xing looked thoughtfully and said, "Zhang Dadan, your friend... is quite passionate!"
Sunx Liancheng’s dog leg appearance also surprised Zhang Dadan, who jokingly replied, "He is enthusiastic and proactive."
Hearing Sunx Liancheng’s mocking and humiliating words, Liu Mingyi was about to get angry but was calmed by Zhang Dadan’s intense gaze, reluctantly swallowing his fury.
Though Liu Xing was his nephew, an uncle’s position meant reprimanding, humiliating, and even punishing were justified.
The result was that Zhang Dadan’s grievance and humiliation were vented entirely on Liu Xing, with biting sarcasm:
"Liu Xing, a man must have self-awareness. Knowing you are blind, stay at home and trouble us less!"
Without waiting for Liu Xing’s retort, Zhang Dadan continued, "The family has supported you for so many years on account of your late father. If you cause trouble again, disrespecting elders’ discipline, you will be expelled!"
Everyone listened and couldn’t help but side with him. Liu Mingyi might be an uncle, but saying such ungrateful words was despicable.
