Chapter 182: Chapter 149: Sir, You Can’t Park in the Ditch

"There’s nothing too profound—I should not need to teach you much; you’ll be able to get the basics with a bit of practice on your own."

Bai Shi had to admit it.

When he said that, it was purely out of a desire to show off.

But he had not expected his words to turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy.

After all, no normal person could have anticipated that Chen Yun would master it the moment he started.

And it seemed like he had gone quite deep into it.

He had traversed the path most people spend a lifetime walking in an instant, almost standing at the very pinnacle of this domain.

Bai Shi swore on his excellent artistic cultivation that the flying bird Chen Yun had carved was definitely a work of art.

That lively form, that posture as if about to soar upwards, brimming with vitality.

If this wasn’t art, what was he supposed to do, point to a pile of trash and call it art?

As he contemplated, looking at Chen Yun who had found his way to his paint and started to color the bird sculpture, Bai Shi felt deeply, at that moment, the disparities of the world.

To be honest.

He had always been the one to evoke these kinds of feelings in others.

After all, he had always been a genius at whatever he learned, especially anything related to art; he progressed by leaps and bounds.

But now.

He truly felt the same kind of emotions he had once evoked in others.

The kind of despair where one could only see the taillights.

No.

More accurately, the feelings Chen Yun evoked were even more exaggerated.

The standard he had achieved the moment he started already transcended the definition of genius.

He was a prodigy!

A monster capable of effortlessly crushing the confidence of anyone who saw themselves as a genius!

Looking at Chen Yun who was seriously painting the bird in gold, Bai Shi slowly spoke up, "How about... we go out together later and buy some gypsum or marble? I’ve mainly been involved in painting recently and haven’t done much carving, so the stock of materials for sculpting at home is running low."

Bai Shi didn’t praise Chen Yun.

Because he couldn’t think of any words truly suitable to describe Chen Yun.

So, after pondering for a long time, Bai Shi thought they could go out and buy some materials to properly appreciate the peak-level talent Chen Yun displayed as a beginner.

"Sure, let’s get some other materials later on; I’ll try carving some things that are suitable for handling."

Chen Yun agreed with a smile.

Then he continued to color the bird sculpture he had carved.

····························

Bai Shi drove his Cadillac, with Chen Yun as a passenger, through the stream of vehicles.

At 9:30 in the morning, the pulse of the city was gradually awakening, and the streets began to weave a busy overture for the day. The sun had comfortably climbed to the shoulders of skyscrapers, gently spilling onto the streets, cloaking early risers and vehicles in a golden coat.

The flow of traffic, like a river just awakened by morning light, converged from every corner of the city, flowing smoothly.

At this time, the traffic was not yet congested; each car seemed to maintain an unspoken agreement, shuttling forward at a moderate speed.

Without the rush of the morning peak, the drivers seemed more composed; some lightly rolled down their windows, allowing the fresh air mixed with the aroma of the breakfast stalls to flood into the car, awakening a good mood for the day.

Bai Shi drove the Cadillac, quickly leaving the bustling downtown area behind.

Their trip was for carving materials, and Chen Yun wasn’t clear about the ins and outs of this, so he left Bai Shi to lead the way.

Soon, they arrived at the edges of the city, where there were no skyscrapers or neon lights flickering, but a different kind of vibrant life was evident.

On both sides of the street here, a variety of small shops lined up. Although not as shiny and eye-catching as the stores in the business centers, they attracted passersby with their unique charm.

Bai Shi drove straight to a store named "Old Li Hardware."

The storefront of this hardware store was not large, but it was stocked with a dazzling array of goods, from screws to large tools.

Outside, a weathered wooden sign hung above, and in addition, there was a rusty iron rolling door, bearing the marks of time, which gave the place a certain storytelling appeal.

The shop owner, with a red bandanna tied around his head and a cigarette dangling from his lips, immediately grinned and greeted them upon seeing Bai Shi’s Cadillac.

"Brother Fan, what brings you here this time?"

The shopkeeper came to the side of the car with a smile and spoke to Bai Shi, who had just gotten out of the car.

"Let me introduce you; this is Li Baoliang, a friend I’ve helped out before."

"This is Chen Yun, also a buddy of mine."

After Bai Shi and Chen Yun got out of the car, he introduced the unknown parties to each other.

Chen Yun, hearing this, nodded to Li Baoliang with a smile, as a greeting.

"Old Li, bring out some of the gypsum, marble, purple sandalwood, yellow pear wood, jade, agate that I have here," Bai Shi told Li Baoliang.

Hearing this.

Li Baoliang, who had a rather fierce face, nodded and obediently turned to prepare the items according to Bai Shi’s request.

Seeing Li Baoliang walking away, Chen Yun couldn’t help but look at Bai Shi curiously and asked, "Why does he call you Brother Fan?"

"When you’re out in the world, who doesn’t have an alias? I’ve got plenty of fake identities."

Bai Shi explained to Chen Yun with a smile.

Chen Yun also nodded, having previously used Bai Shi’s name a few times when he was out and about; he understood the caution of using an alias while traveling.

When wandering in worldly society, everyone wears a few layers of disguise, more or less.

The two chatted for a while longer.

Soon after,

Li Baoliang arrived riding a small three-wheeled cart, which was piled with several boxes.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yun and Bai Shi hurriedly went over to help, moving the items one by one onto the Cadillac.

While they were busy working,

an old man driving a Laotianle was frantically pressing his horn nearby.

Seeing this,

Bai Shi frowned and looked over.

This place was not the bustling city center; the roads had been built many years ago, and there were even two drainage ditches by the road’s side that you wouldn’t see in a big city.

But there was definitely more than enough space on the road for the Laotianle to pass through.

Furthermore, their Cadillac and the three-wheeled cart were both parked close to Old Li Hardware, taking up barely any space on the road. They were at most encroaching a bit of the drainage ditch covers. Not even the bumpers extended onto the road; it absolutely did not hinder normal traffic.

However, the old man driving the Laotianle insisted on driving over the drainage ditch covers, refusing even to slant his steering wheel so his tires would go onto the proper road.

He obviously seemed used to having his own way.

"Old man, the road is wide enough; there’s no need to drive so close to us, right?"

Li Baoliang frowned and stepped forward, wanting to reason with the old man.

But the old man did not even bother responding.

He rolled up his window and honked the horn even more vigorously, his car remaining completely stationary.

"Forget it, let’s not bother with this old coot; let’s back the car up a little more."

Bai Shi stopped Li Baoliang and said, there was no point talking with such a stubborn codger.

Reasoning was futile.

To get tough would also be asking for trouble.

Li Baoliang nodded at his words, glowering at the Laotianle before getting on the tricycle to back it up.

Seeing Li Baoliang riding the tricycle away, Bai Shi also began to reverse the Cadillac that was only encroaching half a wheel into the drainage ditch and didn’t even have its bumper on the actual road.

Seeing this,

The stubborn old man who wouldn’t take the clear road and refused to give an inch,

Ignored Chen Yun, who had yet to move away, and drove forward.

He obviously believed Chen Yun would definitely make way, and it was still possible to avoid him in time, so very decisively, he did not even wait for Chen Yun to make room before driving on.

But the old man’s behavior of not waiting for him to move aside, insisting on driving with his tires over the drainage covers,

Irritated Chen Yun.

It was as if he was blatantly ignoring everyone else, not caring whether he hit someone or not.

Chen Yun took a small step back and watched expressionlessly as the Laotianle passed by in front of him.

Then he continued to watch the old man drive rebelliously over the side of the road’s drainage covers.

And he did not divert his gaze for a long time.

"Still annoyed? Forget it, let’s just let it be. This kind of selfish prick is just crazy in the head; we’d only gain a heap of trouble if we go looking for one now."

"How about we quietly go to his place later and take his car apart? What do you think?"

Bai Shi, who had gotten off the car, came up behind Chen Yun, whispering as they watched the Laotianle drive away.

Starting trouble on the street would be just asking for trouble.

Although this wasn’t the city center area, there were still quite a few shops and pedestrians around.

Bai Shi preferred not to make a scene, instead intending to stealthily cause mischief.

Meanwhile, Chen Yun glanced at Bai Shi and just smiled slightly without saying much.

He was accustomed to venting his frustrations immediately.

He could act prudently, but his superpower was not meant for him to play the coward.

Though the man’s actions were not deserving of death, Chen Yun felt that for such an old bully who was used to getting his way, a lesson was in order.

Watching the Laotianle turn a corner and disappear from sight, Chen Yun turned to chat with Bai Shi while getting into the Cadillac.

It seemed as if he no longer cared about the recent commotion.

However, his spiritual power was instantly deployed.

Telekinesis meddled a little with the worn drainage ditch’s stone covers.

The next moment,

The Laotianle that was driving fine suddenly dipped on the right, crushing several of the drainage ditch’s stone covers, and fell into the drain, which had a drop of about four or five centimeters lower than the main road.

The sudden occurrence nearly caused the car to flip over.

Even though it didn’t flip, the Laotianle, with half of its body in the drainage ditch, got stuck, the chassis unable to move.

Sewage poured in through the broken windows.

When the old man managed to climb out of the car, he was already covered in mud and foul water.

Although he was unharmed and only slightly shaken,

He looked rather disheveled as he stood by the roadside, somewhat disoriented.

As Chen Yun and Bai Shi’s Cadillac passed by, Chen Yun, who was lying in wait at the passenger window-side, asked Bai Shi to slow down.

As they drove past the old man,

Chen Yun smiled and uttered the words he had been harboring for long, "Old man, you know you can’t park in the ditch."

While the old man was still confused about the meaning of the words, not fully grasping the mocking and schadenfreude,

Chen Yun and Bai Shi had already sped away.
