Chapter 525 - Misunderstanding (2/2)

Ou Yangming immediately reached out to help him up, and he asked, “Brother Ni, what do you mean?” He looked around and suddenly recalled something, so his face changed.

Back then, he would always be welcomed by the cheerful old man whenever he returned; this time, he did not see any signs of Old Craftsman.

The young fellow’s heart sank right away, and his hands and feet turned ice-cold. He did not realize it when he spoke, but his voice was trembling involuntarily. “Brother Ni, w-where’s Old Man?”

Ni Yunhong sighed again, and he seemed like he was not resigned to the outcome.

“Buzz.” There was an explosion in Ou Yangming’s head. He felt dizzy, and it was simply heart-wrenching, which was so painful that it could not be put into words.

He flashed to the front of Ni Yunhong and extended his arms to grab the young man’s shoulders as he shouted. “What exactly happened?”

“Ah, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts…” Ni Yunhong rolled his eyes and screamed.

Ou Yangming was already at the peak of Extreme Grade, and his power was superior to equal-ranked powerhouses. Fortunately, he was rational enough to not exert all his force, or Ni Yunhong would have been crushed already.

“Lil’ Ming!” Ni Yinghong was appalled, and she yelled, “Calm down, calm down first!”

Jiang Jiumei approached Ou Yangming too. “Elder Brother, don’t do this!”

It was then when Ou Yangming stopped his violent behavior. He let go of Ni Yunhong and apologized, “Brother Ni, I’m sorry.”

Ni Yunhong responded with a crying face, “It’s okay, it’s okay. I’m glad that I’m alive…”

Earlier when Ou Yangming made a move, his threatening aura was fully unleashed, by which an oppressive spiritual storm was released on Ni Yunhong, who was not terrified to death because he cultivated since young to have great willpower.

“Elder Brother, what exactly happened? What happened to Old Man?” Ni Yinghong asked in a deep voice.

Ni Yunhong dared not hide the truth anymore, so he answered, “Old Craftsman was deceived, and he left the Ni residence.”

“Uh, w-what?” Ou Yangming was stunned, and he had a strange look on his face.

The answer really took a 180-degree turn.

Ou Yangming initially thought a mishap happened to Old Craftsman, which was why he was filled with indescribable hatred at first. When he knew the old man had merely left the Ni residence, he instantly relaxed.

He felt like he fell from a 3048-meters-tall mountain into a 3048-meters-deep groove in an instant; the up-and-down feeling was similar to a rollercoaster ride, which was unimaginably fantastic.

Ni Yinghong was also struck dumb for some time. When she finally came back to her senses, he kicked Ni Yunhong hard.

She did not hold back at all, hence Ni Yunhong shrieked in pain.

Ou Yangming curled his lips and thought, ‘You deserve it!’

Ni Yunhong was considered his brother-in-law, after all, so as resentful as he was, he could not hit the man. Nevertheless, the young fellow felt much more pleased when Elder Sister Ying did it for him to cool him down.

Hong Feiyu was bewildered by everything. He asked carefully, “Miss Jiang, who’s… Old Craftsman?”

Jiang Jiumei covered her mouth and smiled, then she answered softly, “He’s an old man that adopted my older brother and taught him.”

“Hiss…” Hong Feiyu gasped. He suddenly had unlimited respect for Old Craftsman, whom he had not met before.

‘Given that Old Craftsman managed to bring up a powerhouse like Ou Yangming in this realm, he’s simply equivalent to a deity.’

If Ou Yangming and the others knew what Hong Feiyu was thinking at the moment, they would not know to cry or to laugh. That said, n.o.body was paying attention to him.

Ou Yangming cleared his throat and pulled the outraged Ni Yinghong. “Elder Sister Ying, please calm down. Brother Ni was just pulling a prank on me.” His mood changed as he asked, “Brother Ni, who was Old Man deceived by? Where did he go?”

Ni Yunhong pressed the spot that hurt on his leg and answered, “Old Craftsman went to the capital!”

“What? The capital…” Ou Yangming was taken aback, and his face took on a grave expression.

He would not be bothered if Old Craftsman went somewhere else because as long as he was alive, forces in this realm that would harm the old man would be cautious and would not act recklessly.

However, Old Craftsman went to the capital.

Now that the Humans’ disaster had ended, the inherited aristocratic families from the 8 counties began to fight openly and covertly with the imperial family.

Ou Yangming did not want to get involved, which was why he avoided going to the capital. Who knew, Old Craftsman headed there before he did. The young fellow sensed incoming spite.
