Chapter 589: This is all you’ve got?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xu Que, Liu Jingning and b.u.t.tface slowly walked along the path outside the city, as if they were simply taking a night walk.
There were three pamphlets in Xu Que’s hand, and he was writing something on them.
Seeing this, Liu Jingning became rather curious. “Little Que Que, what are you writing?”
“Virus!” Xu Que smiled.
Hearing this, Liu Jingning was stunned. “What?”
“Have you ever heard of the ‘Trojan Horse?"” Xu Que asked while writing.
Liu Jingning shook her head. “No.”
“Ha!” Xu Que smiled shamelessly. “Well I won’t tell you.”
Liu Jingning rolled her eyes, almost ready to hit Xu Que.
He is such a b*tch! G.o.d! I am so annoyed with him! I have never seen anyone as shameless as he is!
…
Meanwhile, the three Elders from the three influential families followed after them.
“He knows we are about to kill him, why is he so calm?” The Elder from the Gong Family frowned. “Is it possible that he has some sort of back up?”
Hearing this, the Elder from the Jiang Family sneered. “What? Don’t tell me you’re afraid of him! He’s just a young man in the Infant Transformation Stage—he can’t possibly beat us!”
“Ha!” The Elder from the Gong Family sneered. “There’s no need to be so nervous about all this. I don’t mean anything of what I just said. I think it’s you who’s afraid.”
Even if the two had been tricked by Xu Que earlier during the Stone-cutting Convention, they were still extremely powerful. They thought that, at last, they would be the ones laughing the longest.
Compared to the two Elders of the Void Training Stage, Xu Que would always be in a much weaker place regards to compet.i.tiveness.
The Elder of the Bai Family turned around to look at the city, which was over ten miles away. “I think people in the city already know our plans!”
The Elder from the Jiang Family was a bit upset. “It must have been Feng Wudao who spread the news!”
“Never mind that! I sent a voice message to my family asking them to come protect the X-ray Perspective Machine. Feng Wudao will behave himself unless he wants to start a war with us! The most important thing for us to do now is to catch that young man!”
The three men then looked at each other and gently raised their hands at the same time. The next minute, all the people following them initiated their attack.
Suddenly, dozens of rays of light flew across the sky!
All these people were in the Infant Transformation Stage. In just a few minutes, they all landed in front of Xu Que, Liu Jingning, and b.u.t.tface, blocking their way.
Xu Que was not surprised at all. He had expected this would happen.
He smiled. “Tell me, do you want me or my money?”
Hearing this, these people were speechless.
The three Elders, together with a few young elites, walked forward.
“Young man, it’s rather dark and windy, quite unsafe for you to walk all by yourselves. Why not allow us to accompany with you?”
Xu Que shook his head. “I know you want to loot us—there’s really no need to make excuses!”
“Young man, you misunderstand us. We simply want to keep you safe. And, well, of course we would charge some fees.”
The Elder from the Gong Family smiled. Everyone could tell that he wanted to kill Xu Que.
Hearing this, Xu Que was amused.
They are really shameless! Charging fees?!
Xu Que smiled at them. “How much do you want to charge us? Five million Spiritual Stones?”
Seeing this, Liu Jingning frowned. In fact, she never liked the three big families; but even so, she never realized they were such hypocrites.
“Fine! Since you already know our real intentions, then just give us all the Spiritual Stones you earned back in the Stone-Cutting Convention. Then I will be very willing to finish your life.”
“Please don’t be like this,” Xu Que murmured with a smile. “You just want to know how to use that treasured object, and I’ll tell you! But I can only tell one of you!” Hearing this, the Elder from the Jiang Family laughed and shook his head.
“Are you trying to trick us?! Just spit it out! If you don’t, we will make you spit out!”
The three Elders were not stupid and would not be easily fooled by Xu Que. They worried that Xu Que might say nothing at all and pretend that he had to create conflict among them.
That was why none of them was willing to walk forward.
“You’ve surprised me,” Xu Que exclaimed. “I thought I would fool you three again!”
Hearing this, Liu Jingning was speechless and turned around.
“Don’t tell me that’s all you’ve got?!”
Xu Que shrugged. “It is! Unfortunately, I’ve failed.”
Then he sighed and raised his head to look at the sky.
“I always consider myself a wise man, I never thought I would fail!”
b.u.t.tface was playing with the recorder, and when he heard Xu Que’s words, he was frightened and was about to run away. But he stopped since he knew Xu Que would easily catch up with him.
“Xu Que, hurry up! I told you many times that I have something urgent to do!”
Liu Jingning was also terribly upset by Xu Que’s words.
She had thought Xu Que had some big plans in mind . . .
Liu Jingning gently moved her lips and sent a voice message to Xu Que. “Since you’ve got no more tricks, I think we should leave here now!”
Xu Que waved his hand dismissively and did not reply.
The three Elders smiled at each other, and were very confident that they could kill Xu Que.
“Young man, I suggest you behave yourself,” the Elder from the Jiang Family said.
“Give us all the Spiritual Stones you’ve got and come with us. Otherwise, we’ll make you suffer!”
Xu Que stopped smiling. “I’m sorry,” he said seriously, “but I really can’t go with you, and I can’t possibly give you the Spiritual Stones. I already said that I will tell you how to use the treasured object, and then I owe you nothing.”
Hearing this, both Liu Jingning and b.u.t.tface were shocked.
He’s giving in? He’s such an arrogant and bElder, and he’s just giving in like this?!
The three Elders were not surprised at all.
“The pamphlet I gave you earlier is fake,” Xu Que said, taking out three books and throwing them at the Elders. “Now, I’ll give each of you a real one!”
The three Elders caught the books and immediately opened them.
They worried that the pamphlets were not the same, so they began cross checking the content as soon.
Luckily, they found that the content was the same.
“What?” the Elder from the Jiang Family exclaimed. “I can even put this treasured object inside my body and it will grow more powerful?! This is amazing!”
On the first page of the pamphlet, there was a rather complicated hand gesture and a mnemonic phrase. Once someone mastered the hand gesture and the mnemonic phrase, he would be able to absorb the X-ray perspective machine into his body and make it stronger.
The Elder from the Bai Family frowned. “This mnemonic phrase is really strange. I think we should try it first to see if it’s real!”
Hearing this, the Elder from the Jiang Family nodded and took out the X-ray perspective machine. He held it above his head and made the hand gesture the pamphlet instructed to. Then he began to murmur the mnemonic phrase.
“Wo si da sa bi, zai shuo yi bian, wo zhen de s.h.i.+ da sha bi, sha de bu yao bu yao de. Chui no xiong kou!”
As soon as he finished the mnemonic phrase, the X-ray perspective machine suddenly disappeared and was taken back by Xu Que’s System.
The three Elders had no idea what had really happened.
Seeing this, the Elders from the Gong Family and Bai Family exclaimed.
“It’s real!”
The Elder from the Jiang Family was surprised. He touched his head and frowned.
“How strange! I thought it would not work! But I don’t feel the X-ray perspective machine inside my body . . . ”
“Wait a minute! On page two, it discussed the way to take it out. We should try it!” The Elders from the Gong Family and Bai Family exclaimed.
They were really happy to find it so easy to control the X-ray perspective machine, while the Elder from the Jiang Family was very doubtful. But he had no option but to do as the pamphlet instructed.
He made the gesture and read aloud the mnemonic phrase.
“Come out! Wo de xiao ji ba!”
