Chapter 154: Helpless Cheng Yu (1/2)

“You scoundrel! You are becoming more and more unbridled.”

“Hehe. How is that? Why are you looking for me?” Cheng Yu laughed.

“Your grandma is reminiscing about you every day and is asking you to come back to the capital to visit her,” Cheng Ruilong’s voice became a lot gentler. At this moment, he sounded like an elderly man that missed his grandson.

“I can’t return to the capital now. I still have a lot of things to do,” Cheng Yu was able to tell that the other party missed him and his heart went soft. Deep inside, Cheng Yu felt that he was not their family member and was afraid of seeing the relatives of this body because he did not know how he was going to face this family’s love.

“You are already on vacation. What is there for you to do? Aren’t you just fighting someone else?” The old man said ill-manneredly.

“I really have things to do!” Cheng Yu could not tell Cheng Ruilong that he was going to the Cultivation World.

“I have also heard from your mom saying that you do not wish to return to the capital. I know that you are still angry with me. I sent you over to Yunhai for your own good. You should also know during that time how much of a scoundrel you were,” The old man sighed.

“Grandpa, I am not angry with you. I really have things to do. At least for now, I have no intention of returning to the capital,” Cheng Yu only felt sympathy towards this old man. If it was anger, perhaps that would be how the short-lived ghost felt and that feeling was totally unrelated to him at all.

“Let’s not talk about this first. I want to ask you something important. Two days ago, I saw a video with you in it on the internet. Was the fight real? You really possess those kind of abilities right now?” Cheng Ruilong asked seriously.

“Er…it is real,” Even though Cheng Yu did not wish to admit it, with the video out, he had no choice but to admit it.

“Yesterday, Grandpa Xu talked to me. He told me that the country wishes to create a mysterious unit. But they have not picked out the military instructor yet. He thought of you highly and hopes you give it a try.”

“I am not going,” Cheng Yu was not interested in it at all. He was still thinking of ways to improve his strength. Where will he get the time to train those group of people?

“Do you know that this opportunity is very important to our family? If you were to be successfully recruited as the military instructor for this unit, it will play a part in bringing our family influence to greater heights.

“I am not interested,” Cheng Yu was a cultivator. His way of thinking was different from an ordinary person. What Cheng Yu wanted was strength not influence.

The so called influence Cheng Ruilong wanted was just some blind powers. As long as his strength increased, what did a unit of elites count as? No matter how powerful they were, they would all be defeated by a wave of his hand.

Take for example the Hong Family. Didn’t they have a bunch of soldiers? In front of commoners, they might look very imposing. But in Cheng Yu’s eyes, they were just another group of commoners.

“You…are you really trying to anger me to death? Could it be that you are not going to care about the Cheng Family as well?!” When Cheng Ruilong saw how stubborn Cheng Yu was, he became furious. The Cheng Family had always been the lion of the political sector. If Cheng Yu were to be able to establish himself in the military sector, it would be extremely beneficial for them.

“Grandpa, I really don’t wish to go. Furthermore, I am so young. How can I possibly be a military instructor? Wouldn’t I become a laughingstock for others?” When Cheng Yu saw that the old man had become angry, he could only use a softer tone.

“You don’t have to care about this. As long as you really have the abilities shown in the video, I believe it would be easy for you to be recruited as their military instructor,” The old man said with conviction.

Cheng Yu started to regret. As expected, he should have just stayed low-key! If it was his own people who saw it, it would still be okay. But if the enemy knows about this, they might perhaps send out a Golden Core Realm expert or even Primordial Nascent Soul Realm to eliminate him. When the time comes, Cheng Yu will be completely helpless in front of them.

“But…I don’t want to go…” Cheng Yu thought it over carefully. Since he was in Yunhai, if he chose not to go, no one would be able to force him.

“You dare? If you do not return, I will take it as you don’t exist anymore. In the future, don’t even think of entering our Cheng Family house,” The old man had really gotten angry.

“…” Cheng Yu wished to say, ‘Actually, I am truly not your grandson.’ But he did not say it outloud as ever since he reincarnated into this body, his identity had already been fated and no one would be able to change it.

If Cheng Yu were to really fall out with his grandfather, Cheng Yu was not sure of how hurt his mother would be. Ultimately, Cheng Yu chose not to voice it out.

“I take it as you have agreed. I will tell Grandpa Xu that you have agreed,” Cheng Ruilong heard that Cheng Yu was silent and took it as his consent. After that, he hung up.

Since the other party had already hung up, Cheng Yu remained silent for a long time. He gave up thinking about it as he went into his pill refinement room.

———————————————————————————————————————

The next day, it was already 9 am by the time Cheng Yu left his pill refinement room.

After showering. He was about to head out to have his breakfast, but he saw a military vehicle parked outside of his villa. The person who got off was not someone Cheng Yu was unfamiliar with. It was Hong Guanlin’s son, Hong Fanghai.

“Hello Mr. Cheng. I am Hong Fanghai. I am Hong Bing and Hong Jun’s father. I am very sorry for what happened. This is the remaining compensation as promised. I hope that after this incident has ended, Mr. Cheng would no longer have any resentment towards my sons,” The moment Hong Fanghai got off from the car, he said politely, causing the driver to be stunned by such a scene.
