Chapter 1038: Wang Liang’s Purpose for This Trip
Lingxiu Village Manor.
A familiar figure stood at the window looking at the village scenery, with a cigar between his fingers that he occasionally brought to his lips for a puff.
Liu Zixuan walked in: "You..."
"What? Don’t recognize me?" Wang Liang turned around with a meaningful smile.
"Uncle Liang!" Liu Zixuan walked over with a smile: "How could I forget you!"
"Don’t, calling me ’uncle’ feels a bit strange, just call me Wang Liang or Liangzi!" Wang Liang waved his hand and sat on the sofa, "I thought you’d be despondent after getting hit by the Netherworld Palm, but you seem quite at ease now. I guess I was overthinking!"
Liu Zixuan chuckled awkwardly: "Not really, I was indeed a bit stuck on it before, but today I met someone who gave me some advice."
"Got it figured out?" Wang Liang didn’t rush to ask who that person was, as if he already knew.
Liu Zixuan shook his head: "Figured out part of it, but I’ll get the rest eventually!"
"It’s good to come to terms with things. In a person’s life, it’s not just about life and death, but also about everyday matters." Wang Liang laughed.
"Are you here to take Yiyi back?" Liu Zixuan asked.
Wang Liang shook his head: "No, I’m here to say a few words on behalf of Yiyi’s father."
"Jiang Yifan?"
"Wow, there aren’t many people who dare to call him by his full name!" Wang Liang didn’t beat around the bush and said directly: "Brother Fan said you should find some time to meet with him."
"Just meet? That simple?" Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow.
"Of course, there’ll be some things to talk about, but I suspect the topic might involve you and Yiyi." Wang Liang spread his hands: "Although you’re pretty good, I reckon it’ll be tough to get past Brother Fan to be with Yiyi!"
Uh...
Liu Zixuan was a bit taken aback: "By the way, what’s his attitude now?"
"Do you want to hear his exact words or the version I’ve softened?" Wang Liang smiled playfully.
"His exact words, please!"
"He said if you dare take advantage of Yiyi, he’d slap you to death!"
Several dark lines appeared on Liu Zixuan’s forehead. This Jiang Yifan, no wonder even the Hidden Sects are wary of him; he really says things without mincing words.
With a helpless smile: "Even if he doesn’t slap me, I wouldn’t live long anyway!"
Wang Liang gave Liu Zixuan an odd look: "Why do I feel like you’re being a bit fatalistic? Didn’t that person just give you some pointers?"
"Do you know that person?" Liu Zixuan asked, looking up.
"I... Of course, I don’t know!" A strange look flashed in Wang Liang’s eyes.
Liu Zixuan frowned slightly: "I wouldn’t say it’s fatalistic, it’s more like doing my best to accomplish the final tasks!"
Wang Liang took a couple of puffs on his cigar: "Anyway, I think your life isn’t likely to be that short."
"Who doesn’t want to live longer?" Liu Zixuan scoffed: "But you know, the Netherworld Palm isn’t so easy to cure!"
"The Netherworld Palm is indeed hard to cure, but your knot in the heart can be undone!"
Wang Liang stood up and patted Liu Zixuan on the shoulder: "I won’t say more, just remember to pick a date and let Yiyi take you to meet her dad."
"You’re leaving just after arriving?" Liu Zixuan asked.
"I’m not leaving, I’m going to meet an old friend first." Wang Liang smiled meaningfully and headed toward the side hall.
In less than two minutes, there was a sound of cursing and thumping from a fight.
Liu Zixuan quickly walked over and saw Wang Liang already fighting with the elderly senior.
Just as he was about to intervene, Jiang Yiyi and Luo Xi came over: "Let them fight, it’s their way of greeting!"
"But they’re both bleeding from the nose, how is this a greeting? Yunxuan and Huzhi never get this serious!" Liu Zixuan said in surprise.
"Don’t bother with them."
Jiang Yiyi pulled Liu Zixuan aside: "Uncle Liang should have told you, right?"
"Your dad wants me to find him." Liu Zixuan said, spreading his hands.
"What are you thinking?" Jiang Yiyi asked anxiously.
"I’ll go, I actually want to visit him."
"When you go, not only visit him, but also ask for his help. Although my dad can be unreliable at times, he knows a lot of people, and some of them might be able to heal your injury." Jiang Yiyi whispered: "All you need to do is butter him up a little!"
Liu Zixuan shot Jiang Yiyi a look of disdain: "Have you ever seen me butter anyone up?"
"It’s just a stopgap measure!"
Liu Zixuan waved his hand, not wanting to argue on this topic and instead asked: "Wang Liang didn’t come over just to relay a message, right?"
Jiang Yiyi thought for a moment and nodded slightly: "It’s related to Senior Xuanyuan and the Void Mountain Sect, which is very close."
"Void Mountain Sect?" Liu Zixuan motioned to Gu Yu: "Any recent movement from the Void Mountain Sect?"
"Recently, they’ve been sending people occasionally, but since we have the Grand Array and many experts helping, they haven’t gained any advantage. In the past couple of days, I’m not sure if it’s because they heard you’re back or something else, but they’ve been very quiet!" Gu Yu said.
"So what’s Wang Liang’s purpose in visiting the Void Mountain Sect?" Liu Zixuan asked with a frown.
Luo Xi poked Liu Zixuan on the forehead: "Are you really that dense or just pretending?"
"Huh?" Liu Zixuan looked puzzled.
Luo Xi said exasperatedly: "If it was just to pass a message, he could have simply made a phone call. Why come all the way here? The reason he’s here is because of Sister Yiyi, worried that once outsiders find out about your situation, the Void Mountain Sect might retaliate against us. She wants Wang Liang to drive them away, so that Lingxiu Village would have no threats!"
Hearing these words, Liu Zixuan was full of emotion.
It turns out, those around him have always been quietly doing things for him.
Jiang Yiyi held Liu Zixuan’s big hand: "Alright, it’s not as serious as Luo Xi makes it sound. Uncle Liang indeed has other matters to attend to this time, chasing away the Void Mountain Sect is just on the side."
Liu Zixuan gently held Jiang Yiyi’s cheek: "Thank you!"
"What? Already forgot what I just told you?" Wang Liang rubbed his swollen eyes: "Taking advantage of my young lady, aren’t you afraid Brother Fan will slap you to death?"
"Well, he’s not here, so let him do it later!" Liu Zixuan said, spreading his hands.
Wang Liang gave Liu Zixuan a disdainful look, "Come out with me for a bit."
Liu Zixuan glanced at the beauties around him in confusion, then followed Wang Liang and the elderly senior out of the room.
"Old geezer, I’ve brought him out for you, say what you need to say." Wang Liang cursed.
The elderly senior glared at Wang Liang: "Get lost! Seeing you bunch of wolf cubs annoys me!"
