Chapter 98: Brutally Beating the Little Ones, Chen Changsheng: Some Things Need Someone to Bear
The lifeless puppet continuously executed martial arts attacks against Mei Yongsi.
This puppet not only used the same martial arts as Ye Hensheng, but even the order of the moves was unchanged.
However, facing such techniques, Mei Yongsi had no power to defend himself at this moment.
No matter how many secret techniques were unleashed, Chen Changsheng only needed to throw a punch.
Punch!
Power Break!
Ye Hensheng’s fist and the fist executed by Chen Changsheng were worlds apart.
Seeing Mei Yongsi being beaten back repeatedly, Ye Hensheng couldn’t help but widen his eyes.
This nameless boxing technique was only mastered by his master, who was undefeated in combat, and he had only imparted it to him.
Now that Chen Changsheng was using this set of boxing techniques, Ye Hensheng’s speculation was even more confirmed.
Controlling the puppet to attack, Mei Yongsi fled in a disheveled state, while Chen Changsheng showed no expression on his face.
To put it more directly, Chen Changsheng had no interest in dealing with these “children” at all.
The Heavenly Prodigy realm of Kunlun Sacred Ground wasn’t bad, but they hadn’t yet integrated the things they learned.
In less than a hundred years, they not only had to cultivate to increase their own cultivation but also learn various offensive techniques.
In the current environment, they also had to think about a new cultivation system.
On top of that, with some trivial matters, their time was too tight.
Encountering Chen Changsheng, who was willing to study, combining the strengths of a hundred schools, and had lived for a thousand years, it was simply too easy to beat them.
Let alone being at a higher realm than them, even if Chen Changsheng were at a lower realm, he had ways to beat them until they couldn’t find their teeth.
“Bang!”
A fist slammed into Mei Yongsi’s mouth, sending two pristine teeth bursting forth with bl**d.
Defeating Mei Yongsi with a single move, Chen Changsheng retracted the puppet.
If it weren’t for this little guy inciting discord in front of him, he really wouldn’t have needed to teach him a lesson.
Wiping the bl**d from his mouth, Mei Yongsi got up from the ground and clasped his hands.
“Thank you, Brother Chen, for your guidance!”
“Guidance? I dare not claim it, just a friendly spar.”
“Next time, don’t talk so much, or else two teeth won’t be enough to settle it.”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s threat, Mei Yongsi turned and left with a cold expression.
With no skill to rival someone else, there was nothing more to say. Chen Changsheng didn’t use lethal force, which was considered a show of mercy.
Rather than uttering useless harsh words, it was better to conserve energy and think about how to deal with Chen Changsheng.
Today’s incident could not just pass like this.
Watching Mei Yongsi’s departing figure, Chen Changsheng smacked his lips and said, “The fight is over; I need to go back and rest. You all can play on your own.”
With that, Chen Changsheng turned and returned to the Eastern Wastes’s villa, leaving the three with their own thoughts.
…
“Knock, knock, knock!”
There was a knocking sound at the door. Chen Changsheng, leisurely sipping tea, glanced over and said lightly, “Come in!”
“Creak~”
The door opened, and Ye Hensheng walked in.
“Didn’t I say to come back tonight?”
Hearing this, Ye Hensheng smiled, “Brother Chen asked me to come tonight, but it’s just to avoid others’ ears.”
“Miss Gongsun is out, and Brother Su is healing, so now is more suitable than at night.”
“There’s some reason in what you said; have a seat.”
Seeing Chen Changsheng’s indifference, Ye Hensheng slowly made his way to the stool.
“Boom!”
Halfway to the stool, he suddenly knelt down.
“The forty-sixth generation true disciple of Shangqing View greets Master Uncle Changsheng!”
Facing Ye Hensheng kneeling on the ground, Chen Changsheng did not speak; he quietly sipped his tea.
After a long while, Chen Changsheng spoke: “How did you see through it?”
To Chen Changsheng’s inquiry, Ye Hensheng lowered his head and said, “My master often calls me to read when he’s free.”
“Therefore, I have learned somewhat about past events.”
“In the ancient texts of Shangqing View, I discovered that there was a glorious era in which Shangqing View existed.”
“At that time, Shangqing View was located in a nation called the Great Qian Dynasty.”
“My master was born in that era, and according to my knowledge, there were ten true disciples at Shangqing View.”
“The first eight senior brothers fell in a grand battle.”
“However, records about the last true disciple are sparse throughout Shangqing View.”
“Out of curiosity, I went through all the ancient books of Shangqing View and ultimately found a description.”
“The tenth true disciple of Shangqing View practiced and went into a devil’s trance, dying suddenly.”
“This record had always puzzled me, until the Heavenly Heroes Conference was held, which cleared my confusion.”
Hearing Ye Hensheng’s words, Chen Changsheng’s long-buried memories stirred within him once again.
Great Qian Dynasty—what a familiar name!
Back then, Shangqing View was still an enemy of Night Moon Nation.
Reflecting on the past, Chen Changsheng said, “Interesting. How did the Heavenly Heroes Conference help you unravel this doubt?”
In response to Chen Changsheng’s inquiry, Ye Hensheng respectfully said, “At that time, my master sent me to a place to invite a senior known as ‘Undertaker’ to come out of retirement.”
“After my master learned of this, he specifically came to find me.”
“He said that for the Heavenly Heroes Conference, I would have a powerful protector, so he wouldn’t accompany me.”
“At the time, I was confused, so I asked some questions.”
“But my master didn’t answer, just said faintly, ‘His boxing technique is better than mine.’”
“After witnessing your boxing technique, I became even more certain of my speculation: you are indeed that ‘lost’ true disciple.”
“Hahaha!”
Seeing that his identity had been guessed, Chen Changsheng laughed: “Your master still can’t change this soft-hearted bad habit.”
“If it weren’t for him leaking the trap here, I was planning to have some fun with you guys.”
“Though your master helped you, it also disrupted your grandmaster’s plan.”
“With Wanyan Yue’s temperament, your master can’t avoid a beating this time.”
Upon hearing that Chen Changsheng acknowledged his identity, Ye Hensheng excitedly said, “Master Uncle, with so much to explain, why don’t you return?”
“Grandmaster and your master often stand at the mountaintop looking out; they look toward the direction of your retreat!”
“Won’t you really go and see them?”
Listening to Ye Hensheng’s words, Chen Changsheng sighed softly and said, “What good would it do to see them?”
“They have their own paths to walk, and I have my own path to tread.”
“Different paths lead to different destinations; meeting again would only make the parting more painful.”
“Then why did you choose to come out this time?”
“Simple. Firstly, I have things to do here, and secondly, I want to let some people live.”
“The Heavenly Heroes Conference marks the awakening of an era; some burdens must be borne by someone.”
“If you can’t bear them, then it falls upon your master to do so. Do you understand what I mean?”
