Chapter 178 Strong Backing

“Master…”

Ni Yinghong’s sweet voice echoed in the vegetable farm, and it was accompanied by the old farmer’s loud laughter. Ou Yangming felt like he was dreaming.

He could not help but feel rather confused. ‘Is this old farmer really Elder Universe, whose cultivation base is at the peak of Extreme Grade?’

Seeing as the old farmer lowered his head and apologized to his apprentice like a yielding person, Ou Yangming was envious.

‘Why can’t Old Craftsman treat me like that?

‘But if his temper changes, he’s not old Craftsman.’

Ou Yangming did not know what the old farmer promised, but after some time, Ni Yinghong changed from being mad to being cheerful. She introduced, “Master, this is my friend…”

The old farmer waved his hand and remarked, “This friend of yours is full of troubles, so it’s best you don’t have any dealings with him.”

Ou Yangming was slightly stunned, and he finally realized the unreasonable side of the elder.

“Master, is an elder like you even afraid of trouble?” Ni Yinghong asked snappily.

“Who in the world isn’t afraid of trouble? Without trouble like… You, I would’ve been so at ease in this farm,” the old farmer responded grumpily. When he uttered the word “you”, he mumbled so softly that it was inaudible.

Nonetheless, Ou Yangming’s comprehension of Heaven and Earth was already in a thoroughly meticulous state, hence he heard the old man clearly.

Ni Yinghong blinked her big eyes and asked, “Master, what did you say just now?” “Huh? Wh-what did I say? Did I say something?” The old farmer pretended to be baffled.

Ou Yangming opened his mouth, but just as he wanted to say the word “you”, he noticed a pair of eyes casting blade-like looks at him.

He clearly felt at that instant the person’s fearsome and enormous conception, which was like a ghost’s or a devil’s.

Ou Yangming was certain that while he encountered numerous powerhouses before this, n.o.body had given him such a frightening feeling.

Whether it was the Ni family’s Three Great Ancestors or Chen Dishou, who taught him the spear technique’s true essence, their aura was slightly inferior to what he sensed at the moment.

Ou Yangming instantly tensed up, and his essential Qi and mental power were released uncontrollably. If he were to hold back in the face of a powerhouse as such, he would definitely be courting death.

Nevertheless, just as his aura began to fluctuate, the pressure vanished into thin air at once.

Ni Yinghong turned to ask as she was shocked, “Brother Ou, what are you doing?” “I…” Ou Yangming was startled, so he asked slowly, “Didn’t you feel anything just now?”

“No,” Ni Yinghong answered in a daze, then she smiled brightly like a blooming flower. “Don’t worry. Since Master is here, n.o.body can hurt us.”

Ou Yangming quivered a little because he immediately understood that Elder Universe only exerted the threatening pressure on him earlier, whereas Ni Yinghong, who was also nearby, did not notice anything abnormal. “Okay, I understand.” Ou Yangming inhaled deeply and nodded.

‘Elder Universe is unpredictable indeed. It makes sense why Ni Xuetian fears him so much.’

The old farmer laughed as though nothing happened, and he said, “My clever apprentice, your friend is extremely daring. Not only did he attack the imperial merchant, but he also treated the governor impolitely. The governor gave an order that he’ll teach your friend a lesson.”

Ni Yinghong pouted and said, “He’s just a fake Supreme Great Ancestor, who achieved his state through a bunch of medicine, so how dare he regard himself as an important figure? Hmph, does he think you’re a decoration?”

“Ah, so what if his Extreme Grade is fake? He’s still an Extreme Grade powerhouse.” The old farmer waved his hand and was suddenly stunned. “No, what does this have to do with me?”

“Master, think about it. I’m your disciple, and he’s my friend, so doesn’t this make him your disciple too? If Deng Xiyuan wants to go against your disciple, isn’t he disrespecting you?” Ni Yinghong answered without any hesitation.

The old farmer twitched his lips and looked dull as if he was saying, ‘What absurd logic is that? Is that even possible?’

On the other hand, Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. He secretly gave Ni Yinghong a thumbs-up to praise her for the great move. “Ah, a lady’s heart is always with her lover’s…” The old farmer sighed after some time.

Ni Yinghong stuck out her tongue and did not refute, causing the old farmer to lament at how thick-faced she was.

He shook his head and asked, “You’re Ou Yangming, right? Let me ask you-how do you plan to end things with the Liang family?”

Ou Yangming answered seriously without any hesitation to show that there was no room for discussion, “I’ve said it before. They must return the residence to Jiang Jiumei, and if she suffers misfortune in the future, I’ll definitely purge the Liang family.”

The old farmer shook his head and said, “Stop having wishful thinking, Jiang Jiumei won’t return.”

“What? Did she encounter misfortune already?” Ou Yangming’s face changed, and he released such a horrifying killing intent, which was aimed at the people from the Liang family.

“Hmph, what nonsense are you thinking about? I meant that Jiang Jiumei had a fortuitous encounter, so she has already gone far away. The young fellas from the Liang family won’t be able to find her at all.”

Ou Yangming was dumbfounded, but he was also delighted.
