Chapter 727: Refused as a Disciple Again
Kong Lingwen suddenly stopped speaking and looked up at Yang Cheng, those hidden memories slowly awakening and causing her head to split with pain.
"Yang Cheng, will you really help me avenge?"
Her voice was soft, but her gaze carried a sense of pressure.
"Yes."
Yang Cheng answered without hesitation, now wanting to kill Cao Ruibin even for his own reasons.
"Fine, then help me kill Cao Zhihao first, I want Cao Ruibin to feel the pain of losing a close relative."
Kong Lingwen curled her lips, her expression somewhat frantic.
The death of her father was too much of a blow to her, and to have a family head’s head chopped off was simply humiliating.
"Cao Zhihao is still at the police station; killing him directly would cause trouble for us, I’ll poison him tonight."
Yang Cheng knew that the struggle against Cao Ruibin had reached a fever pitch, it now depends on who can strike harder.
"Xiaochen, I’m not asking you to definitely avenge Jing Shan, but I hope you can protect Lin Wen and Ling Chuan."
At this point, Elder Kong spoke with a trembling voice.
His face was full of tear stains, suppressing his emotions without crying out, he slowly said: "I’m old, money and power are like floating clouds to me, as long as you can guarantee their safety, the Kong Family assets can all be yours."
Even though the Kong Family is affected now, the assets have shrunk a bit, but a dead camel is bigger than a horse, the assets are still very substantial.
Elder Kong is willing to hand over the Kong Family, clearly treasures his grandson and granddaughter.
Though he seemed to dislike Kong Lingchuan on the surface, how could he not care for his own grandson, it’s just that he dislikes Cao Yumei, so he’s always unfriendly to Kong Lingchuan.
"Elder, I promised Uncle Kong to protect them, let them manage the assets themselves."
Yang Cheng spoke softly, giving Elder Kong peace of mind.
"Good child, indeed I wasn’t wrong about you."
Elder Kong choked up again, but this time it was out of joy.
Now in the Kong Family’s situation, many people who used to be close have distanced themselves, afraid of getting into trouble, but Yang Cheng sought no profit, wholeheartedly protecting the Kong Family.
Such affectionate and righteous people are truly rare; Elder Kong feels with him there, the Kong Family will surely rise again one day.
"Yang Cheng, I have another request, can you quickly bring back my dad’s head, I’m worried that with time passing, Cao Ruibin will destroy my dad’s head."
Kong Lingwen’s beautiful eyes were full of plea, she was worried Yang Cheng would be in danger, but as a daughter, she couldn’t bear to see her father die without a complete body.
"Rest assured, I’ll visit the Cao Family tonight, I’ll surely bring Uncle Kong back."
Even if Kong Lingwen hadn’t said it, Yang Cheng had already planned for it, but if the weapon wasn’t forged well, he couldn’t act rashly tonight.
Cao Ruibin is so arrogant, sending people to kill Kong Jingshan in broad daylight, obviously someone strong is backing him, perhaps several experts are around him.
Encountering a Chi Ren last time injured Yang Cheng, this time he mustn’t be impulsive.
"Thank you."
Kong Lingwen couldn’t control her emotions anymore, throwing herself into Yang Cheng’s embrace and bursting into tears.
Hearing her cry made Yang Cheng feel relieved, crying proved she had vented the sadness in her heart.
He carried Kong Lingwen horizontally upstairs until she cried herself tired and fell asleep, only then did he leave the room.
"Ling Chuan, don’t think about revenge now, your task is to stay with your sister, I’ll go take care of Cao Zhihao tonight."
Yang Cheng stepped forward, patting Kong Lingchuan’s shoulder.
"Brother Cen, I’m a bastard, if I had noticed Cao Ruibin’s wolfish ambition earlier, perhaps today’s events wouldn’t have happened."
Now Kong Lingchuan was full of self-blame, recalling the foolish things he had done, he wished he could crash his head.
"Even if you hadn’t been deceived by Cao Ruibin, today’s outcome wouldn’t change. Do you think Cao Ruibin has such power to deal with the Kong Family? The real might lies in the forces behind him."
"If it were only the Cao Family, I could have taken him down long ago; hesitating to act was to dig out the forces behind, but didn’t expect Zheng Yunjie to betray Uncle Kong."
Yang Cheng sighed, feeling guilty; if the plan had been more thorough, perhaps today’s events wouldn’t have happened.
"You all prepare to start arranging the funeral, let Uncle Kong rest peacefully."
He spoke, then strode away.
At this time in the tenement.
Wu Ji was helping Chen Shixiang forge the Moon Golden Wheel, his thin face full of sweat, but his eyes were very bright.
"You’re quite gifted, but too frail, doesn’t Yang Cheng feed you well?"
Chen Shixiang was puzzled, seeing Yang Cheng take out three Spirit Stones didn’t seem like he lacked money, how could the child beside him be so skinny?
"It’s not that! The elder brother treats me very well, it’s just that I was previously captured and tortured by bad people, the elder brother saved me, or I would have died long ago."
Wu Ji quickly explained; he didn’t want anyone to misunderstand Yang Cheng.
"So it’s like this, that boy has a good heart."
Chen Shixiang smiled slightly, feeling more satisfied with Yang Cheng, but unfortunately the boy refused to become his apprentice.
He turned his eyes, his gaze fell on Wu Ji, smiled and said: "Kid, what’s your name?"
"Wu Ji."
He said obediently, exerting strength on the Moon Golden Wheel to make it easier for Chen Shixiang.
"I see you’re quite talented and very obedient, I’d like to take you as my apprentice, you’re my first disciple in many years; if you study well with me, I’ll teach you everything I’ve learned in my life."
Chen Shixiang felt Yang Cheng refused him because the boy was proud, indeed having strong abilities, no mind to stay by him for study.
This child before him isn’t proud, has perseverance, definitely a good seed for forging weapons.
When Wu Ji matures with skill, Chen Shixiang can be at ease to seek his wife and children.
He was just contemplating when Wu Ji said: "No, I can’t be your apprentice."
Chen Shixiang’s smile immediately vanished, displeased, he frowned, "Today is an eye-opener for me, I’m a renowned Weapon Master, yet both you and Yang Cheng rejected me."
Over the years, many sought to be his disciples; fame, status, and wealth were all offered as long as he agreed to teach, but he agreed to none.
Now taking the initiative to accept disciples, yet faces two refusals, Chen Shixiang felt quite embarrassed.
"Master Chen, it’s not that I don’t want to be your apprentice, but the elder brother is my savior, I’m bound to accompany him forever to repay him."
Wu Ji said earnestly; he really likes forging weapons but cannot leave the elder brother.
