Chapter 419 419: Hustling
"What did you say?" Lin Yue Xian angrily demanded.
"Can't understand human language, huh? No saving! Get lost!"
Chen Xiaobei's face turned cold.
After saying that, he was about to leave.
However, Lin Yue Xian blocked him, her expression threatening, "Do you think you're still the same Chen Xiaobei as before? I've planted cameras in your house long ago. I knew about your fight with Xu Quanrong. You've long been seriously injured. Now you're just a fox exploiting the tiger's power!"
"Very confident, huh? Then let's try it."
Chen Xiaobei was composed and quite indifferent.
Having just broken through to a half-step grandmaster, he needed a real combat target. Lin Yue Xian's figure was well-proportioned; fighting with her might feel pretty good...
But suddenly, footsteps approached, and several men in black appeared, quickly surrounding Chen Xiaobei.
"Mr. Chen, it's been hard to find you. Master Shan sent us to deliver medicine to you."
Being surrounded like this was no surprise to Chen Xiaobei; he knew Ye Shanhe's retaliation would come soon, and he was about to step forward to resolve it.
At this moment, Lin Yue Xian exclaimed in astonishment, "How did Master Shan know you were injured? I didn't tell him. Forget it, let me handle this! You better behave! And later, make sure to cure my son!"
Chen Xiaobei knew very well that this woman was afraid he'd be killed, leaving no one to treat her son, and that she hadn't even told Ye Shanhe about his fight with Xu Quanrong.
Now she was even stepping forward to take the blow for him.
But he was happy to relax, smilingly said, "Be careful not to damage the herbs they brought for me, or I'll hold you responsible!"
Lin Yue Xian glared fiercely at Chen Xiaobei upon hearing this.
Yet she still stepped forward, coldly addressing the group of men in black, "I'm in charge here. You all leave!"
"Sister Yue Xian, I'm afraid that's not possible."
The leader was a young man, handsome with sword-like eyebrows, but he said with a helpless smile, "You haven't made any progress and dare to deal with Chen Xiaobei. Master Shan is already very displeased with you."
"I advise you to hurry back to Master Shan for punishment, or you might still escape death..."
"So it's not negotiable?"
Lin Yue Xian's expression turned cold.
"Sister Yue Xian, sorry for the offense!"
The young man's face suddenly turned cold, and he rushed forward, with three others charging alongside him!
Their movements were imposing; all of them were first-class grandmasters!
It's known that the Iron Fist Ancestor, a fifth-grade Heavenly Rank, was famous across Songshan, yet now Ye Shanhe, a son-in-law of the Ye Family, could casually send four first-class grandmasters!
This certainly showed the importance they placed on Chen Xiaobei!
If Chen Xiaobei were truly seriously injured, this lineup would indeed cause him some trouble.
However, Chen Xiaobei leisurely watched the battle, even picking a wild fruit from a nearby tree to eat while watching.
Although there were four first-class grandmasters on the other side, Lin Yue Xian was also first-class and a strong one at that.
In a prolonged battle lasting over ten minutes, she managed to push the four grandmasters into continuous retreat.
At that moment, a cold voice rang out.
"That's enough, Yue Xian..."
It was Wei Qiangjun walking up the steps.
"Wei Qiangjun?! You said you were going to find blood food for Mo'er, but you reported to Ye Shanhe?!"
Lin Yue Xian was slightly stunned, quickly realizing that without Wei Qiangjun's report, how would Ye Shanhe have known about Chen Xiaobei's injuries?!
"Now what you need to consider isn't how to save Mo'er's life, but how to save ours! If Master Shan finds out about your dealings with Chen Xiaobei, he'll kill us!"
Wei Qiangjun frowned.
"I only care about my son's survival! What kind of man are you to betray even your own son! If Chen Xiaobei dies, Mo'er will die too!" Lin Yue Xian shouted angrily.
"Do you really see him as your son? He's just a tool for us!"
Wei Qiangjun argued calmly, "Snap out of it, he's not worth your sacrifices!"
"Shut up!"
Lin Yue Xian's face turned pale, her voice trembling, "He was a genius back then, just turned dumb because of an illness. Others can say that, but how can you, as his father!"
She valued her son above all else, not realizing that Wei Qiangjun only saw the Devil Child as a tool!
Chen Xiaobei was thoroughly enjoying watching the family drama. Hearing this, he was even more puzzled, saying, "Hold on, what nonsense are you talking about? To practice the Demonic Transformation, you can't get seriously ill."
"What do you mean by that?"
Lin Yue Xian was taken aback.
"The Demonic Transformation has high physical requirements. Practitioners can't become dumb due to illness; instead, they should first be poisoned to become idiots, suppressing humanity."
As he said this, he looked at Lin Yue Xian in surprise, "Don't tell me you didn't even know about this?"
Lin Yue Xian was utterly stunned; she sharply turned to Wei Qiangjun, incredulously asking, "Demonic Transformation is your family skill, did you do this to Mo'er?!"
"Don't listen to his nonsense! How could I do such a thing to my own flesh and blood?!"
Wei Qiangjun's eyes flickered, sinisterly glaring at Chen Xiaobei, "Stop sowing discord here. Today is your death day. If you're brave enough, don't hide behind a woman, come out and face me head-on!!"
"Still denying it? Fine, then I'll show your wife a big surprise..."
Chen Xiaobei, enjoying the chaos, pulled out a book from his backpack and tossed it to Lin Yue Xian, smilingly saying, "This is the Demonic Transformation book. Read the general guidelines, and you'll understand everything!"
But before Lin Yue Xian could begin reading,
Wei Qiangjun was utterly panicked, staring in disbelief at Chen Xiaobei, "You, how is it possible! The Demonic Transformation has long been lost. My family version is incomplete. How can you have it..."
"So, you admit you harmed your son?" Chen Xiaobei said with a faint smile.
"Damn it, you know nothing!"
Wei Qiangjun erupted, eyes red as he shouted, "Anyway, having sons is to make my life better. I don't care if he's dumb or stupid; as long as he's a fierce and obedient dog, that's enough!"
"Besides, having children can tie down that woman. Without those two acquiring resources for me, with my mediocre talent, how would I have achieved what I have now? My decision was the right one!"
The roar ended, leaving Lin Yue Xian in shock for a long time, her hands releasing the manual to the ground, speaking with despair and sorrow, "All these years, I was grateful you didn't abandon our son, thinking I owed you a debt, but it turns out we were just tools for your use..."
"What a waste... In fact, with your son's talent, he could have achieved much more with normal training." Chen Xiaobei said helplessly.
"That's the difference between your vision and mine! If he slowly achieved something through training, I'd already be old and wouldn't benefit. What can I gain then?"
Wei Qiangjun looked at Chen Xiaobei, eyes filled with disdain, "A man should have no compassion; sons are just sons, more can be born, who cares! It's people like you, lost in emotional bonds, so today, you'll die at my hands, and I'll use you as a stepping stone!"
"Honest enough! I almost feel guilty for having deceived you earlier." Chen Xiaobei said.
"Deceived me?" Wei Qiangjun was instantly confused.
"Didn't you just say the Demonic Transformation has been lost for ages? I truly don't have something that low-level."
Chen Xiaobei looked at him earnestly and said, "I just randomly picked a book to scare you."
"Who knew you'd confess so quickly? You're quite straightforward..."
