Chapter 112: Ten whips and chase him away (Part 2)
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Only then did the shareholders of Luo Cheng International School find out the true ident.i.ty of Li Xiaoyi. He was the school’s princ.i.p.al, as well as the princ.i.p.al of Daoyuan cla.s.s, and a pract.i.tioner of heavenly king status.
In their eyes, heavenly kings were in a cla.s.s of their own, and they represented the highest cla.s.s of domestic pract.i.tioners.
Logically, Li Xiaoyi was more of a military person and shouldn’t have been a princ.i.p.al. After all, the two professions were extremely different! But now, it seemed like special times called for special needs.
There was definitely no way of overpowering him… So the only option was to cooperate obediently, life was indeed tough…
b.u.mping into such a princ.i.p.al, who knew how many students would graduate this year?
“Alright, you guys reflect on it yourselves. I have more important matters to attend to,” said Li Yixiao as he left a huge crowd of clueless people in the canteen.
Meanwhile, Li Xianyi was guiding Lu Xiaoyu with her learning. To satisfy the girl’s growing curiosity for knowledge, the old man had started self-studying secondary school text.
At this old age, it was mind-boggling and brain-frying to look at equations and mathematical symbols…
The old man would even lament about this at night…
But he still felt that his hard work would pay off. At least he was on good terms with Lu Xiaoyu now, and she would mostly care about his feelings whenever she spoke. This was a huge improvement…
Although he might still get annoyed by her, she was after all still a kid. Li Xianyi could understand and empathize with that.
But Li Xianyi had a question occasionally- was Lu Xiaoyu behaving so well only because of the food…
While guiding her in the morning, Li Xianyi caught a glimpse of a fatty climbing on the fence outside trying to glance inward. Li Xianyi forced a laugh, “You’re a heavenly king, can’t you behave more like one?”
As the head of the Golden Foundation, it was impossible to not know the particulars of heavenly kings. Li Xianyi could recognize Li Yixiao immediately, and he didn’t like him at all.
At the start of the year, an ancient remains appeared in southeast Asia and the Golden Foundation went against this fatty. One of the features of the ancient remains was that they each had a core, which people described as the relic. Once the specific item was obtained by a person, the ancient remains would slowly disappear. So everyone started describing the item as the relic of the remains.
And everyone who was researching about the ancient remains had the main motive of obtaining the relic of each site.
But once someone reached the site, it was not a given that someone of higher skill level would be able to obtain the relic. The remains were unpredictable and finding it would depend on luck as well.
At that time, experts from all over the world antic.i.p.ated the dawn of the ancient remains. The heavenly network, naturally, wouldn’t let others get ahead of them.
In the end, this fatty went for it and caused all sorts of trouble for everyone. Instead of searching for the relic, he caused plenty of problems for everyone, including the Golden Foundation. Experts from a few other countries even wanted to team up to deal with him, but his trained thick rubbery skin was of a much higher level than other pract.i.tioners. Moreover, magical energy back then was weak and no one was willing to hurt their vitality by using skills which required much energy. Which was why no one had any way of dealing with this fatty.
At that time, Li Xianyi didn’t go due to his health issues. But from the Golden Foundation, he knew Li Yixiao’s actions were rather unpleasant. And it was also that time, although Zhi Wei and the rest did not obtain the relic, they obtained precious herbs from that area which helped Li Xianyi regain some vitality.
Now that Li Xianyi saw this guy, he was fuming which explained his tone.
Li Yixiao laughed, “I’m just afraid I might disturb you. Visiting without any notice, hope you don’t mind?”
As Li Xianyi looked at Li Yixiao coldly, he suddenly asked Lu Xiaoyu, “Xiaoyu, a distant friend is visiting, what’s next?”
Li Xianyi winked at Lu Xiaoyu who understood his intentions, “a distant friend is visiting, always first frustrate his spirit and will, exhaust his muscles and bones, expose him to starvation, rob him of all riches, bring chaos to everything he does. Then ten whips and chase him away. The master said: happiness follows!”
Li Xianyi took in a breath of cold air. You have so many tricks up your sleeve! You, girl, have a talent for ancient literature!
“Ten whips and chase him away…” Li Yixiao was caught off-guard, “I’m uneducated but you don’t have to mock me!”
Lu Shu had already received distress points from Li Yixiao, +666. He sent a message to Lu Xiaoyu at once, Is everything alright?”
“Everything’s fine. There’s a visitor here at the old man’s. We’re chatting amicably,” Lu Xiaoyu replied with her phone, feeling rather suspicious that Lu Shu would ask this all of a sudden.
Lu Shu didn’t feel well. How could they be chatting amicably?!
Li Yixiao looked at the book on Lu Xiaoyu’s hands and could see immediately that Li Xianyi was educating this little girl. He interrogated, “Is this taught by you?”
Cough, the question made Li Xianyi feel awkward. He couldn’t possibly acknowledge this responsibility and just when he was about to deny it, Lu Xiaoyu interupted, “Yes, he taught me.”
“From Li Xianyi’s distress, +666…”
Lu Shu took a deep breath. Double kill, was this because Li Yixiao was at Li Xianyi’s house?
Li Yixiao turned around and said to Li Xianyi, “Old man. Last night the heavenly network found two skeletons which could move, run, jump and fight on Beimang mountain. Their power was equivalent to a cla.s.s E strength-based metahuman.”
He sounded delighted and Li Xianyi raised his eyebrows. He knew what Li Yixiao meant. This symbolized that an ancient remain was going to resurface soon, and its magical aura had manifested as such.
Before the remains open up, there would be strange sightings around the area and these sightings were not fixed. Previously in southeast Asia, the symptom was the steaming river. And in the ancient site, the heat was immense and weak pract.i.tioners dared not get in there.
“Why are you telling me this?” Li Xianyi eyed Li Yixiao as he smiled.
“You don’t have any opinion?” Li Yixiao continued to question.
“Relax. The Golden Foundation wouldn’t meddle in the ancient remains of our country. I’m a man of my word, don’t doubt me,” Li Xianyi continued to smile. You heavenly network guys can send a few heavenly kings down to me, but why come one at a time.
The old man’s temper was rather poor when he was younger, and would definitely be annoyed in this circ.u.mstance.
Li Yixiao knew he couldn’t beat Li Xianyi, so he smiled, “I’m just asking, don’t think too much. Relax, the heavenly network had vowed to get herbs for you. We’ll do as we promised, this is a reward for having done so much good for the world.”
