Chapter Fifty-Four: The Bet

  "I was driven out by my master, I won't go back!"

  Leng Qing had a look of a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water, and said firmly after eating the iron tonic.

  "What's wrong with you? I don't know you or your master, what are you doing with me? The forest is so big that all kinds of birds exist!"

  Chen Peng was speechless, when had he ever met such a lazy person? It could be said that it was the first time in his life! Leng Qing was even more awesome than girls, too awesome!

  "My name is Leng Qing, nice to meet you."

  A cold and indifferent way.

  "Leng Qing? Do you know Leng Wuqing?"

  Chen Pengpeng heard Leng Qing's words and remembered what Huang Qingshan had told him in the No. 7 prison, that there was a person named Leng Wuqing who had saved himself, so he asked.

  "Do you...do you know what happened to him? Can you tell me?"

  Leng Qing's expression suddenly became tense and he quickly asked. Actually, when Leng Qing was very young, he had a younger brother named Leng Wuqing. Due to the pursuit of the Avenging Family and his young age, he lost contact with his brother. At that time, all his family members were killed by their enemies. His younger brother, Leng Wuqing, also went missing, and he had searched for him many times, but no matter how hard he tried, there was never any news of his brother. When he was walking alone on the street in despair, he happened to be bumped into by Jia Lei, who took him deep into the mountains and taught him martial arts.

  "Do you know him? He's like my lifesaver! When I was framed by a traitor and locked up in C City No. 7 Prison, he saved me once, but I didn't see him, maybe I was unconscious at that time! I also heard someone tell me about it, she said he would definitely come find me!"

  Chen Peng saw Leng Qing's tense appearance and told him without any pretence or concealment.

  "He might be my brother, I beg of you, can you keep me by your side?"

  Leng Qingyi immediately heard that Leng Wuqing would come to find him and hurriedly begged his way. Now he most wants to find his own long-lost younger brother, no matter whether it is Jiarui's order or not, he has decided to stay by Chen Pengpeng's side. Because he wants to find his own younger brother, this is his lifelong wish.

  "Is he your brother? Can you tell me what's going on?"

  Chen Peng stared at Leng Qing in surprise. He really couldn't understand how such a coincidence could bring two brothers together again. His curiosity suddenly emerged.

  "I won't hide it from you either, your family was surrounded and killed by masked men that night. It was my junior sister who asked me to come and protect your family members. Because I arrived late, I couldn't save the old lady, but only managed to rescue your mother from those masked black-clothed men. And as for my Cold Family, it's because of a revenge from an enemy clan, my brother and I were separated, and now we're still searching for his whereabouts."

  Leng Qing told Chen Peng the whole story with a hint of sadness. Chen Peng felt a surge of excitement, and he finally understood what had happened to those black-clad masked men who died not far from his home. It turned out that they were all killed by Leng Qing in order to save his own mother.

  "Thank you for saving my mother! As for the kindness of you two brothers, I have no way to repay it. In the future, if there's anything you need, just let me know and I'll do whatever I can to help."

  Chen Peng sincerely said. He didn't know what to say now, the cold man in front of him was actually his mother's benefactor, and he deeply remembered this kindness in his heart.

  "I don't need anything in return from you, I just want you to let me stay by your side."

  Leng Qing looked at Chen Peng with a tense expression, as if Chen Peng didn't respond to him. His tense demeanor was like that of an alert monkey on a tree, his heart had risen to his throat.

  "Just now you said it was your junior sister who asked you to protect my family? What's her name?"

  Chen Peng asked hesitantly, not daring to believe. Leng Qing's master didn't even know who the other party was, let alone now that a junior sister had appeared out of nowhere, how could this not make him depressed?

  "My junior fellow disciple is called Jia Jingjing."

  Leng Qing simply replied.

  "Ah? It's her!"

  When Chen Peng heard Leng Qing's words, he let out a loud cry. He never thought that this usually gentle and beautiful girl in school would have such an incredible family background. In the past, not only was Chen Peng deceived by this little girl, but also the whole school was fooled by her. Who would have thought that behind her quiet appearance, she had such a huge backing? It's really unexpected.

  "Hmm! She's just my little junior sister!"

  Leng Qing didn't care about Chen Peng's astonishment, he thought it was all normal.

  "You are our benefactor, actually we are just an ordinary civilian family, following me will have no future."

  Chen Peng lowered his head and said. As soon as he thought of his current family, he felt a sense of despair, not that he disliked Lan Qing, but he was afraid that he didn't have the ability.

  "I believe in Master's vision!"

  The road of unyielding determination.

  "Alright! I'll agree with you then. From now on, I'll call you Leng Big Brother! You're older than me, don't mind that, do you?"

  Chen Pengpeng suddenly raised his head and said with a majestic aura.

  "You... you... you call me Leng Ge?"

  Leng Qing looked at the handsome boy in front of him with a bit of disbelief. He didn't expect that this Chen Pengpeng would have such a good heart. If it were someone else, they would have made him their personal thug long ago, but Chen Pengpeng treated him like a brother instead. Leng Qing's voice trembled as he spoke, it had been a long time since he heard someone call him that, and the familiar sound brought back memories of his childhood days with his younger brother.

  "Brother Leng, are you looking down on me because I'm poor? Don't acknowledge me as your brother?"

  Chen Peng pretended to be angry and said to Leng Qing.

  "No. It's just I didn't think anyone would call me that."

  Leng Qing was so moved that he almost burst into tears. When Chen Pengpeng called out "Leng Ge", his heart had already begun to overflow, but he had been controlling his emotions and not letting them show.

  "That's good, I'm Chen Pengpeng, from now on you can just call me Xiao Peng! And let me tell you, if you're going to live in my house, you have to help out with chores too! Otherwise, how could it be fair?"

  Chen Pengpeng has a sinister plan to sell children, and it seems he wants Leng Qing to help him with the dirty work. It looks like Leng Qing's days are going to be tough from now on.

  "Little friend?"

  Leng Qing muttered softly in her mouth.

  "Alright, from now on you can call me Xiao Peng and I'll call you Leng Big Brother! In the future when my mom goes to sell vegetables on the street, she won't be so tired anymore. With your help, I believe my mom's vegetable business will become even more prosperous! Hehe~~"

  Zhen Peng burst out laughing. This guy is too shameless, actually asking a dignified cultivator to help sell vegetables! If Jia Lei finds out, he'll be beaten to death with a slipper, let alone if the people in the cultivation world find out, just thinking about the consequences makes one know how this guy will die.

  Splashing

  Leng Qing's head hit the ground, it seems that Chen Pengpeng's words had a profound impact on him!

  "Sell vegetables? I'd rather die!"

  A cold sweat broke out on Qing's face. What does this imply? Is it calling itself a dignified cultivator? If that mischievous little junior sister were to find out, who knows how much more of a headache she would get.

  "Aren't you going? What will it take for you to go?"

  Chen Peng looked at him with interest. He was looking at this sloppy and uncollectible appearance, perhaps he was thinking of some other ghost idea again.

  "If you can beat me, I'll agree with you!"

  He said coldly. Tell yourself to sell vegetables? It's obviously provoking oneself! If you don't show him some fierce stuff, he'll really think of himself as a sick cat! A tiger that doesn't show its might will make even sows climb trees. If we don't kill his arrogance, I'll end up being the one doing chores in the future!

  "Haha! You said it!"

  Tian Peng's words were finished. With a sudden leap, he jumped high into the air and actually stood suspended in mid-air! It was an astonishing sight that left Qing feeling incredulous for a moment.

  "I didn't expect you, Little Peng, to be a cultivator too! Alright, let's have a good exchange tonight!"

  Leng Qing finished speaking and flew into the air, standing opposite Chen Pengpeng.

  "Hey, Big Brother Leng, when you're fighting, don't hit my face, okay? I make a living with this face!"

  Chen Pengpeng spoke while slowly flying closer to Leng Qing's front.

  "Bang!"

  The sound of a single punch.

  "You little rascal!"

  Leng Qing covered her face, pointing at Chen Pengpeng. Just now, Chen Pengpeng had launched a sneak attack on Leng Qing and even hit her cheek. Damn it, this person is really too shameless!

  "Hey! I'm not a rascal, I just said you can't hit my face, but I didn't say I couldn't hit your face!"

  Chen's friend smiled shamelessly.

  "Take this, kid!"

  Coldly and unfeelingly, he let out a loud shout.

  "Knock, knock, knock..."

  Chen Pengpeng and Leng Wuqing exchanged countless blows, with Chen Pengpeng emerging unscathed while Leng Wuqing was left panting on the ground like a dog. This method of fighting had exhausted Leng Wuqing's true energy. Meanwhile, Chen Pengpeng looked on with a carefree expression, seemingly unaffected by the battle. Leng Wuqing was furious, never having been treated this way before. Today was particularly humiliating, and he couldn't wait to teach Chen Pengpeng a lesson to vent his frustration.

  "Xiao Peng, you're really too deceitful! Heartless killer!"

  Leng Qing finished speaking, and the killing intent on his body suddenly burst out, filling the entire forest with a chilling atmosphere. A gust of cold wind swept across Chen Peng's face, making him feel a bit chilly in his heart. He didn't know what kind of internal skill Leng Qing was using, but it was so cold that anyone could sense the coldness and fierceness of this move.

  "Haha! You've finally used your ultimate move, have you? I think it was this very move that you used to take down those black-clothed masked men back then!"

  When Chen Peng finished speaking, the golden true energy in his body began to rotate frantically. The originally pitch-black forest was suddenly illuminated by a large area of golden light. Leng Qing looked at Chen Peng's transformation with his mouth wide open, he really couldn't think that this little guy actually had such magical powers. His hands didn't dare to slow down either, quickly circulating the true energy, and sword energy condensed in the air one after another was suddenly released.
