Chapter 96: Relieved (2/2)

Lastly, Cheng Yu instructed Dao Jiu to help tidy up the stall before bidding goodbye to the mother and daughter. He dismissed Dao Jiu and his men before driving back home.

Early in the morning, Cheng Yu held a piece of bread and a cup of soy milk as he walked to school leisurely. Coincidentally, Jiang Ming was also walking out of the school’s parking lot and started looking directly at Cheng Yu.

Jiang Ming paused. In his eyes, a trace of resentment flashed before he started speaking politely to Cheng Yu, ”Good morning, Young Master Yu.”

“En. Good morning. Was yesterday’s show nice to watch?” Cheng Yu chewed his bread as he smiled to Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming was startled. Could it be that Cheng Yu knew that yesterday’s incident was initiated by him? However, Jiang Ming showed a confused look and asked, ”Young Master Yu is referring to what show?”

“Haha! Nothing much! Yesterday night, I watched a show that was quite well orchestrated. I thought that Young Master Ming, who is also as lively as me, would also watch it.”

“You are flattering me. Yesterday, I wasn’t feeling well. I went to bed very early. But from what Young Master Yu said, it seemed like it was truly regretful for me to have missed such a good show,” Jiang Ming smiled as he showed a regretful expression.

“Is that so? However, I felt that it’s a good thing that Young Master Ming went to bed early. Didn’t you know that society is a mess these days? Yesterday, I almost got robbed! It was fortunate that I ran away quickly. I think it would be better for Young Master Ming to go out less often. There might be a day you will no longer be able to return home,” Cheng Yu showed a panicky expression. It was as if he had spoken the truth before reminding Jiang Ming with good intentions.

Jiang Ming’s heart shuddered. The hint Cheng Yu had just dropped was too obvious and malicious! It seemed like Cheng Yu definitely knew that yesterday’s incident was actually a plot by him. With a thankful expression, Jiang Ming replied, ”Yes, yes, yes. Young Master Yu is right. Thanks for the reminder, Young Master Yu. I will be more careful in the future. If there is nothing else, I will return to my classroom first.”

“En,” Cheng Yu looked at Jiang Ming skittering away before looking up to the sky. ”Look at this azure sky! So beautiful! Sometimes, it is always better to behave with integrity. However, if one keeps thinking that he is very smart and continues to always scheme behind one’s back, perhaps, in the future, he will no longer be able to see such a beautiful sky ever again!”

Jiang Ming shuddered. He walked off with a complicated look.

Frankly speaking, every time when he faced Cheng Yu, Jiang Ming’s heart would always tense up. Although when Cheng Yu spoke, he would always be laughing or smiling, Jiang Ming felt that whenever he stood in front of Cheng Yu, whatever he was thinking of would be seen through by Cheng Yu. It was a kind of helplessness that was arising involuntarily.

After hearing Cheng Yu’s reminder, Jiang Ming started to hesitate. However, he was not willing to reconcile. Very long ago, when Jiang Ming, Cheng Yu and Xu Dongyuan were still the famous playboys in school, the three of them had hardly interacted with each other. However, since two of them had incurred hatred with Cheng Yu, they had been played by Cheng Yu every single time!

Nowadays, Jiang Ming and Xu Dongyuan felt that whenever they were in front of Cheng Yu, they were lower than Cheng Yu by a grade. This caused Jiang Ming, who was previously insufferably arrogant, to not accept it. After a short amount of time, the hesitation turned back to hatred as Jiang Ming left quickly.

Cheng Yu shook his head before walking towards his classroom. As a cultivator, he had to defy heavenly laws. Furthermore, Cheng Yu was not someone they could kill easily. Therefore, Cheng Yu did not wish to dirty his hands. If he was able to let them go, he would prefer to let them off.

Another reason was that Cheng Yu was slowly becoming more integrated to this world. When he looked at all the different kinds of living things, an amiable feeling rose in his heart, causing him to not be able to arouse his killing intent. Perhaps, it might also be because they had not really provoked his reverse scales yet.
