Chapter 178 - Strong Backing (2/2)

He was obviously happy to hear that Jiang Jiumei ran into something lucky, but he thought it was too coincident.

Despite that, he was no longer dubious when he thought about the elder’s ident.i.ty.

“Senior, may I ask…” “Don’t ask, I won’t tell you.” The old man glanced at Ni Yinghong and expressed, “n.o.body will say it because it’ll only cause trouble, and I fear trouble the most in my

life.”

Ou Yangming smiled bitterly. “Okay, if that’s the case, I won’t ask.”

“Hmph, you still haven’t told me how you plan to end things with the Liang family.” The old man was rather displeased.

Ou Yangming responded after some thought, “Senior, the Liang family brought this disaster upon themselves, and I don’t plan to let them go so easily.”

“Oh, why?” The old man was curious. “You don’t look like someone who likes to vigorously pursue someone.”

Ou Yangming explained sternly, “I’m punis.h.i.+ng them as an example to others. Soldiers fight in wars, and their lives aren’t insured, so how can petty people be allowed to stab them in the back? I want everyone to remember that the soldiers’ families are being supported too. If anyone wants to bully a soldier’s family, they can take a look at how the Liang family suffered.” The old farmer pursed his lips and asked, “Are you aware of the number of soldiers’ families in the world? Can you handle everything?”

“I obviously can’t do it alone, but I believe that more people will get involved after this, and I’ll be their strongest backing!” Ou Yangming flashed a big smile.

“Hehe, the strongest backing…” The old farmer repeated the words, but he looked slightly concerned.

After a brief moment, he said, “Okay, I’ll speak to Deng Xiyuan about this, and this comes to an end. As for the Liang family, let them search and be anxious for a while more.”

“Master, you’re the best!” Ni Yinghong’s eyes glowed. In actuality, she knew the elder’s character very well. Although the elder was good-tempered and was rarely mad, he was quite an opinionated person. Once he set his mind on something, he would not waver from his decision regardless of how hard other people tried to persuade him.

Ni Yinghong had previously stood up for Ou Yangming in different ways, but she was actually not confident about it.

She did not expect Elder Universe to instantly change his mind after he conversed with Ou Yangming, hence she was elated.

Even though she knew that it was likely related to the promise made by Ou Yangming, she was still delighted about it.

The old farmer reached out his hand to rub Ni Yinghong’s head lovingly. “Little girl, you’re happy now, but you’ll have a lot of trouble in the future.”

Ni Yinghong replied with a smile, “It’s okay, we’re not afraid of trouble!”

“Oh, we?” The old farmer teased her by prolonging the sound of the last word uttered.

Ni Yinghong blushed, but she still responded heartily, “Yes. If we come across tricky troubles, we’ll surely come to find you!”

The old farmer was struck dumb, and he was lost for words.

Ou Yangming smiled slightly on the side as he thought, ‘This master and his apprentice are truly living dolls.’

That said, he could only think to himself because he might be killed horribly by the master and his apprentice if they found out.

Ni Yinghong suddenly said, “Master, I brought him here to seek help from you, but it’s only secondary.”

The old farmer scoffed. “What’s your main purpose then? The secondary objective is already so troublesome, so is the main purpose going to be more problematic?”

“That’s not necessarily the case!” Ni Yinghong giggled. She blinked and asked mysteriously, “Master, do you remember telling me that peculiar people, who are born with knowledge, exist in the world?”

The old farmer curled his lips into a big smile. “What? You’re not going to tell me that this young fella is a peculiar person who’s born with knowledge, are you?”

n

“Master, you guessed it right. He’s indeed a peculiar person who’s born with knowledge in appraisal art.” Ni Yinghong tensed up a little. She then turned to say, “Brother Ou, show Master your appraisal art.”

Ou Yangming nodded. He knew Ni Yinghong would not harm him, so there was no need for him to worry at all.

As he rubbed his hands and lifted them, he released the Appraisal Light.

However, there was nothing to appraise around Ou Yangming, and he dared not use the Appraisal Light on Ni Yinghong or Elder Universe even if he was beaten to death.

Therefore, he naturally released the Appraisal Light on a plant in the vegetable farm.

Ou Yangming’s eyelids twitched, but he quickly calmed down and lowered his head as if nothing happened.

The old farmer looked at him in astonishment and asked, “Which sect did you learn this from?”
