C76 The Storm Was Coming
After finally cultivating a thread of true qi and suppressing Hsiang Feng's injuries, Hsiang Yang's body was empty again, and he had returned to before he was released. Fortunately, he had started to cultivate again. As long as he was given enough time... He would be able to cultivate again.
Hsiang Yang didn't stay in Digong for long. After Hsiang Feng's injuries had recovered, as for the following matters... Hsiang Feng would make the arrangements himself. After all, Hsiang Feng was the representative of the Hsiang family in the Skysea. His ability and power couldn't be underestimated. If he was prepared, it would be enough for him to protect himself.
Furthermore, Hsiang Feng was confident that if he was fully prepared, even if Liu Sheng attacked again, he wouldn't be able to cause any harm to him. It was even more likely that he would leave Liu Sheng's Innate Expert behind.
Although Hsiang Yang didn't participate in the management of the Hsiang family, he was still very confident in the strength of the Hsiang family. After knowing that nothing would happen to Hsiang Feng, he felt relieved and left.
"What exactly happened just now? Are you alright? It seemed like someone had seen someone jump off a building in Digong, but they couldn't find the person who did. Does this have anything to do with you?" When Hsiang Yang just arrived in Tianhai No. 1 High School, Lu Xinrann called him. Her voice was anxious, obviously worried about Hsiang Yang's safety.
"Ah, someone jumped off a building in Digong? Why didn't I know? I just met a fellow villager who I haven't seen for more than ten years. He was about to leave. I'm so anxious, so I quickly chased after him to chat with him. I'm so sorry... I've made you worry. " Hsiang Yang said with a smile, but in his heart, he was thinking: Girl Lu is really getting better and better now. She even knows how to care about me.
At the same time, he thought proudly that if Lu Xinrann knew that jumping off the building was related to him, he didn't know if she would be scared.
It was very obvious that the person who was seen as jumping off the building was the Innate Expert Liu Sheng who went to kill Hsiang Feng. After he had been poisoned by Hsiang Yang, he decisively cut off one of his arms. He immediately left Digong, but he left in a hurry. When he jumped down from the window, someone saw him. It made people think that he had jumped off a building, but as an Innate Expert, if he could fall to his death if he jumped down, that would be perfect. Therefore... The witnesses only saw someone jump off the building, but they didn't see the person who jumped off the building.
"Take a good look at the travel plan. Remember to ensure the safety of the students when the time comes" Lu Xinrann, who was in the office, heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she began to talk about the matter of bringing the students out to play.
"Don't worry. With me around, no matter how many hairs each student brings, when they come back, there will definitely not be a single hair missing." Hsiang Yang patted his chest and promised.
"It's not serious at all. Alright, you have to be careful. Especially the Three Bullies. You didn't get along well with Director Huang and Director Guo just now. All the directors of the school value you now. Don't let this matter affect their views on you. " Lu Xinrann reminded.
"I know. I found that you are more and more like my housekeeper." Hsiang Yang said with a smile.
"What are you talking about? I don't care about you anymore." Lu Xinrann, who was in the office, hung up the phone with a red face. She covered her face with her hands. She felt that her face was so hot that it could boil an egg. She muttered. "This guy is really too much. I helped him out of kindness. But he wants to tease me."
"It's just that I seem to be getting more and more long-winded. I wonder if he will hate me. Aiya, I don't care how he looks at me."
Thinking of this, Lu Xinrann fell into deep thought. There was a sweet smile in her eyes.
Hsiang Yang, who was walking on campus, heard the busy tone from the phone and laughed. "Girl Lu is getting more and more fun. Sigh, this is what life is called. Look at the campus belle. After putting on a show for the principal, he went to class. When he returned home, he hugged the gentle and moving Ms. Jingrou and rolled on the big bed. This was the real pleasure. What's so good about fighting and killing? My previous life was really in vain. Aiya, it hurts so much! Although that guy only took a shortcut to break through to the Innate Stage, he could only be considered as a False Xiantian expert, but his strength couldn't be underestimated! If it wasn't for the fact that Master's outer force has already reached a very high level, I would have been killed by his punch!"
While saying that, Hsiang Yang rubbed his hand. His hands had become red and swollen. In the battle with Liu Sheng... Hsiang Yang used his powerful body to withstand Liu Sheng's attack, but his outer force hadn't reached the Innate Stage yet. After exchanging a few blows with Liu Sheng, both of his hands were swollen beyond recognition. If he were to exchange a few more blows, he really wouldn't be a match for Liu Sheng.
Next, Hsiang Yang was bored and strolled around the school until he went to teach the students of Grade 12 Class 12.
He had already been in class for a month. Hsiang Yang was already familiar with the physical education class of Grade 12 Class 2. According to the plan, he would teach them some fighting routines and let them practice on their own. After that, he also informed them about his vacation trip.
Just when Hsiang Yang thought that all the students would go on vacation, he saw a person raise his hand and say in a low voice, "Teacher, I have something to do during the holiday, so I can't go on vacation with the whole class."
Hsiang Yang knew the name of the boy who raised his hand. It was the sports committee member, Chen Feng. One. The tall and strong boy was originally a very cheerful person in the class. At this moment, his voice was low and deep. Hsiang Yang frowned slightly. He could guess from Chen Feng's suppressed voice that it was not that Chen Feng did not want to go to class with all the students in the class. It was because he really had something to do and had no choice but to take a leave of absence.
"Chen Feng, the whole class is going to have fun together. This is a rare opportunity. Are you really not going?" Hsiang Yang said.
"I'm not going." Chen Feng's eyes lit up, but it immediately dimmed down. He shook his head and refused.
"Alright then. This trip is voluntary. I will not force you. Since there is something that you cannot go, then forget it." Hsiang Yang sighed.
"Sigh, Chen Feng, what else can you do? Isn't it just going home to move bricks to make money? "Originally, this matter would have ended just like that. However, Guo Hongliang, who was at the back, said lazily.
"It's just moving a few bricks. How much can I earn? I think you should just forget about it. If you go a few days less, you won't starve to death, right?" Zhang Leekun said.
"That's right. It's rare for the whole class to go out together. Don't go and move bricks. At most, I'll give you some money. It's enough for you to move bricks for dozens of days." Huang Shikai said with a smile.
"You, you..." Chen Feng's eyes flashed with anger. He clenched his fists tightly and then weakly let go.
Even if his family hadn't undergone any major changes, he still wouldn't be able to do anything to the Three Bullies, not to mention that his family was now in shambles. He couldn't afford to offend the Three Bullies at this time.
"What exactly is going on?" Hsiang Yang frowned slightly and looked at Chen Feng carefully. He found that the clothes he was wearing were from a very cheap stall, and he looked a lot more haggard. Obviously, what the Three Bullies said was not wrong.
"The three of you, shut up." Hsiang Yang glared at the Three Bullies.
"Professor, we are telling the truth. Why don't you let us speak?" Huang Shikai said discontentedly.
"Because I am your teacher. This is the time for class. I have the right to make you all shut up. Of course, if you don't shut up... I can't do anything to you, but I won't teach you the Battle Arts anymore." Hsiang Yang said in a flat tone. He already knew that the Three Bullies was planning to defeat him after learning the Battle Arts. It was as if they had grasped the meridians of the Three Bullies.
"Well, if you don't want to say it, then don't." Sure enough, after being threatened by Hsiang Yang, the Three Bullies immediately shut its mouth.
"Chen Feng, come out with me."
Hsiang Yang called Chen Feng out alone, and only looked at him seriously when he was outside the gymnasium. "What happened to your family? Tell me, as your form teacher, I should be qualified to know about it, right?"
"There's nothing I can't say. Everyone knows about it. My family has gone bankrupt. Now, my family doesn't have a single cent. I still have to move bricks every day to make money to subsidize my family's expenses. " Chen Feng's face carried a calm expression. Clearly, he had long gotten used to it.
"Bankrupt!"
Hsiang Yang frowned and looked at Chen Feng's hand. He found that there were some calluses on Chen Feng's hand. Clearly, he was left behind by hard work.
"Don't worry, teacher. I did not give up because my family went bankrupt. My family has no money, but I still have me. I will work harder to study. Only then can I take better care of my family. " Chen Feng said before Hsiang Yang could say anything to comfort him.
"I'm very happy that you think that way. If you have any difficulties in the future, remember to tell teacher. No matter what, teacher will help you." Hsiang Yang patted Chen Feng's shoulder and said.
"Yes, thank you, teacher." Chen Feng said gratefully.
"Go back. Remember to rest well. Don't be too tired."
After Chen Feng's small episode, Hsiang Yang also had a lot on his mind for the next class. He did not teach the students too many moves until after school, he pulled Sun Qingya over and let her stay.
"Does Mr. Hsiang Yang miss me?" Sun Qingya smiled happily when Hsiang Yang asked her to stay alone. She hugged Hsiang Yang's arm and did not let go.
"Girl, do you know where Chen Feng's home is?" Hsiang Yang had important matters to attend to, so he didn't have time to mess around with the little girl.
"I know where he used to live, but after his home went bankrupt, I know where he used to live, but after his family went bankrupt, he moved to the village in the city. Aiya, rather than guessing randomly here, I might as well follow him directly. " Sun Qingya's big eyes flashed with excitement. It was very clear that her little witch nature had been stimulated. She wanted to play a 'tracking' game.
"That's right, let's go, we'll go together" Hsiang Yang pulled Sun Qingya onto his heavy motorcycle. At the bus stop at the school gate, he saw Chen Feng waiting for the bus. The two of them patiently waited for him to get on the bus and followed him.
The village in the city was quite a distance away from Tianhai No. 1 High School. Chen Feng changed to a different bus three times on the way and took a full one and a half hours to get home.
"Has Chen Feng been late and skipped class recently?" Hsiang Yang asked Sun Qingya.
"I don't know about that either." Sun Qingya shook her head with a confused look. With her aloof and aloof image in the class, there was not a single boy in the entire class that she could take a second look at. Only Hsiang Yang was the one she paid attention to all day long.
"However, I know you are often late, Mr. Hsiang Yang, hehe." Sun Qingya said with a smile.
"Don't talk nonsense. I come and go on time." Hsiang Yang patted Sun Qingya's little head. Only then did he realize that he had asked the wrong person. This girl was always late. The only one who went to class later than her was probably the Three Bullies. How could she tell if Chen Feng was late?
The two of them parked the motorcycle at the entrance of the village and followed Chen Feng all the way to his house. They saw Chen Feng walk into a very shabby house. The house was only one story tall. It was a metal house with a rusty surface. It simply could not be considered a house. It was very rare to see a house in a village in the city. This showed how difficult Chen Feng's family situation was right now.
"Mom, I'm back." Along the way, Chen Feng's expression was very solemn. However, when he reached home, a cheerful smile appeared on his face.
"I'm back. How was my studies today? Did you gain anything new?" A middle-aged woman walked out of the room. She was Chen Feng's mother.
"Yes, I have gained a lot. I have learned a lot of things that I did not know before. I have also made great progress. Mom, don't worry. I'll definitely work hard to study. " As Chen Feng spoke, he sat on the table and began eating. The dishes on the table were very simple. There were only a few steamed buns and a piece of cake. This was their dinner.
"I'm full. I'm going to work first." Chen Feng ate two steamed buns with the side dishes and changed into dirty and torn clothes. He also wore a pair of worker's special gloves on his hands. It was a typical farmer's uniform. He then ran out of the house.
"Is he going to move bricks to make money? It looks like he's having a good time. Let's go and take a look too. " Sun Qingya's eyes lit up and was about to follow.
"Stop messing around. If I really let you work, you will be exhausted to death." Hsiang Yang patted her little head. This was the difference between the poor and the rich. The rich thought that working was very fun, but they did not know that a real worker was tired to death. If it wasn't because they had no other choice, who would be willing to work at construction sites?
Hsiang Yang wasn't surprised by Sun Qingya's thoughts. After all, Sun Qingya was a girl who had been living a life of luxury since she was young. She could be said to be the real daughter of a rich family. It was not strange for her to be curious about things that seemed ordinary to ordinary people.1
Furthermore, what made Hsiang Yang relieved was that Sun Qingya did not have the princess disease of those rich young ladies. Her character was considered very good in the circle of these young ladies.
"Let's go and see Chen Feng's mother."
Hsiang Yang tidied his clothes and pulled Sun Qingya out of her hiding place. He walked to Chen Feng's house and knocked on the door. "Hello, is this Chen Feng's home?"
"Who are you?" Chen Feng's mother walked out. What surprised Hsiang Yang and Sun Qingya was that his mother was holding a kitchen knife. She looked at the two of them vigilantly as if she was facing an enemy.
"I am Chen Feng's form teacher, Hsiang Yang." Hsiang Yang revealed his identity.
"Ah, so it's Teacher Hsiang. I heard Feng Er mention you a long time ago. I'm sorry, I thought you were here to collect your debt. Please come in. " When Chen Feng's mother heard that Hsiang Yang was Chen Feng's form teacher, she immediately put away the kitchen knife in a flurry. She then invited Hsiang Yang into the room.
After entering Chen Feng's house, Hsiang Yang and Sun Qingya immediately frowned. Chen Feng's house could be said to be the true walls of his house, except for a tattered table. There was only a cold stool, not even the most basic furniture. It simply could not be considered a home.
"Teacher Hsiang, I'm really sorry. The house is too simple. I'll go and get you a cup of water." Chen Feng's mother had an embarrassed look on her face. She wanted to go and get some water for the two of them.
"You don't need to be busy. We just happened to pass by and found Chen Feng living here. We came to see if Chen Feng was not home." Hsiang Yang stopped Chen Feng's mother, who was going to pour water for them.
"Feng Er went to the construction site to move bricks. Chen Feng's mother said in a low voice.
Hsiang Yang was not surprised to know that Chen Feng went to move bricks when he was hiding in the dark. What surprised him was that Chen Feng's family situation was more difficult than he had imagined.
"I think you all know that my family's situation was originally very good. But a while ago, because of a business problem, I was cheated. In the end, I lost all my money, and I even lost tens of millions. He can only live here..."
"Chen, it's time to return the money." Just as Chen Feng's mother started to talk about the family situation, a bright voice came from outside.
