Ten minutes later, Tang Xiu and his mother appeared in a low shanty house.

Because they were short on money, they did not have their own house in Star City, but instead rented the cheapest flat in the shanty area as a temporary residence.

Gently putting his mother on a small plank bed, Tang Xiu started to do some chores inside the flat.

During the thousands of years in the immortal world, Tang Xiu had gotten used to an easy life where others had served him. Sometimes he even had no problems with not eating or drinking for hundreds of years at a time. He was obviously unaccustomed to this when he had to the clean the house.

Within moments, Tang had gradually become skillful, and his face gradually produced a smile.

The room was small, only forty square meters. It was divided into four rooms. The living room with the dining room adjacent to it, there was a worn-out sofa separating the spaces, then there was the kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom.

Tang Xiu looked at the clean pillow and old quilt on the sofa, this made him sad all of a sudden.

As the room was too small and there being only one bedroom, Su Lingyun left the bedroom to Tang, she then slept on the sofa. Even when Tang Xiu was schooling, Su Lingyun insisted on sleeping on the sofa, refusing to step into the bedroom.

In Su Lingyun’s words, Tang Xiu had grown up, he must be allowed his own space.

It was precisely this kind of Su Lingyun’s meticulous care and spoiling that made Tang Xiu unable to cut off his attachment and yearning toward his mother for thousands of years in the immortal world, Tang Xiu yearned for mother’s love.

Half an hour later, the house was clean and tidy. Without a spec of dust neither top nor bottom, inside and outside. Just like a brand new house.

As it was late in the day and knowing his mother still had not eaten, Tang Xiu crept into the kitchen.

While Tang Xiu was cleaning the house, a human tragedy drama was unfolding in Lingjia Restaurant.

An hour ago, after Yuan Chuling handed in the paper, he happily went to the examination room where Tang Xiu had the exam. He was looking for Tang to share his joy, but he did not expect that Tang Xiu had already left the school.

Since Yuan Chuling was familiar with the whereabouts of Tang, he did not hesitate to rush to Lingjia Restaurant and the scene in front of his eyes made him shocked and infuriated. The restaurant, which was regarded by Tang Xiu and Su Lingyun as part of their lives was smashed beyond recognition.

Suddenly, Yuan Chuling was crushed by remorse. He blamed himself for his selfishness. He clearly had the capabilities to help Tang Xiu improve his life, however, he had not yet done anything to help.

Yuan Chuling was about to call the police, but he faintly heard some chatter coming from the kitchen, Yuan Chu Ling did not hesitate to rush inside to investigate.

In the kitchen, Black Three and the Green-Haired bully did not notice Yuan Chuling’s arrival. They were still cursing Tang Xiu and his mother with clenched teeth while planning on how to exact revenge on them.

Today, Black Three and the Green-Haired were beaten badly by Tang Xiu. Following that, the rest of their own men had betrayed them. These events had given them a huge psychological trauma, completely blinded by hatred, there was only the need for revenge in their hearts.

While the two of them were discussing how to abuse Su Lingyun, Yuan Chuling walked into the kitchen with an angry face.

Staring blankly at Black Three and the Green-Haired bully, Yuan Chuling grabbed a chair and started mercilessly beating it against them.

Had Black Three and the Green-Haired bully not already been injured, Yuan Chuling could never be considered an opponent to either of them due to their experience and skills in combat. Unfortunately, Black Three’s hands were fractured by Tang Xiu, and a few ribs of the Green Haired bully were also broken. Currently, the two of them were like disabled people, at such a pitiful state even an ordinary person could beat them, much less a stronger person like Yuan Chuling.

Yuan Chuling beat them up for more than ten minutes till he got tired. Black Three and the Green-Haired bully had already fainted long before Yuan Chuling stopped. They were totally covered with blood, gaping wounds, and injuries all over their bodies.

“Did I……did I kill them?” Yuan Chuling finally woke up from his frenzy and realized the shocking scene on the ground he had caused, his face immediately turned pale. He then turned around and ran away.

Just as Yuan Chuling left the restaurant, Ban Shou and the other bullies came back.

When Ban Shou inadvertently saw a line of blood-stained footprints coming from the kitchen to the front door, his complexion changed greatly and he rushed into the kitchen.

Following Ban Shou, Ding Zi and the others could faintly guess what happened as they rushed inside.

Seeing Black Three and the Green-Haired bully lying on the bloody floor motionless, the bullies were shocked and their faces turned pale.

“Quick, they are still breathing, call the ambulance! Hurry!” Ban Shou shouted in a condescending tone. After carefully checking the condition of Black Three and the Green-Haired bully, subconsciously he felt relieved.

Hearing that Black Three and the Green-Haired bully were still alive, the other bullies relaxed and then quickly left.

However, they were sorrowful after they saw the miserable condition.

They knew that if they had not chosen to follow Ban Shou and Ding Zi before and continued to follow Black Three and the Green-Haired bully, they would have also ended up in the same state.

“Ban Shou, who beat them up like this? They nearly killed them.” Ding Zi said with fear, staring at Black Three and the Green-Haired bully on the floor with their deathly pale complexion due to losing an enormous amount of blood.

Ding Zi knew that if they hadn’t come back to the restaurant in time, Black Three and the Green-Haired bully would have definitely passed away.

Upon hearing what Ding Zi had to say, Tang Xiu’s figure subconsciously appeared in Ban Shou’s mind, he shivered suddenly, but did not dare say who he thought the culprit was.

Although Ban Shou did not say anything, Ding Zi and the others understood.

Outside the restaurant, Yuan Chuling had run a long way, but he turned back. Watching people move in the restaurant, he did not dare to go back inside, but instead he hid outside. When he heard the news that they were not dead, he felt at ease.
