Chapter 257: Chapter 257: Ashamed to the Point of Wanting to Die

This park was abandoned and set for renovation. There’s hardly anyone here, even during the day, let alone at night.

"Brother Qin Yi, come on, leave me with a few wounds."

Qin Yi looked troubled, "Brother Xuan Ming, why don’t the four of you just pretend to be unconscious? I can’t bring myself to do it."

Xuan Ming said, "What’s stopping you? We cultivators, a few bruises are nothing to us."

Qin Yi hesitantly said, "Then I’ll really do it."

"Go ahead!" Xuan Bing said.

Qin Yi stepped forward and gently punched Xuan Ming’s chest. It was a bit like a playful tap on the chest.

Xuan Ming glared, "Brother Qin Yi, are you just tickling me?"

Qin Yi scratched his head, looking rather troubled.

Xuan Ming said, "Be a man about it. If you don’t leave us with some wounds, no one will believe it."

"Then I’ll be serious this time."

Speaking, Qin Yi stepped forward and threw a punch at Xuan Ming’s face, making him stagger a few steps, and his face quickly swelled up.

"Sorry, sorry... Was I too rough?"

Xuan Ming winced in pain but patted his chest and said, "For cultivators, this is nothing. Come on, hit me on the other side of my face, and give me a few kicks on my body."

"Brother Xuan Ming, you really have strong cultivation, I admire you!"

Saying this, Qin Yi advanced again, landing a punch on the other half of Xuan Ming’s face, followed by a few kicks, knocking him to the ground. Qin Yi didn’t stop, kicking him several more times.

"Enough, enough..." Xuan Ming gasped in pain, "Brother Qin Yi, that’s enough, knock me out now."

Qin Yi clasped his hands together respectfully, "Brother Xuan Ming, if you ever reach Yinfeng City, I will make sure you’re properly entertained. I’m sorry!"

With that, he squatted down and karate chopped Xuan Ming’s neck, knocking him out.

Standing up, Qin Yi looked towards Xuan Cha and the others with guilt.

Xuan Cha stepped forward, "Come on, don’t hold back!"

"Brothers, I’m sorry! Consider this a future favor owed."

Qin Yi moved forward, unleashing punches and kicks on the three, turning each into a pig head, then added a karate chop to knock them all out.

Looking at the four bruised and unconscious people, Qin Yi’s guilty expression gradually turned mischievous.

"Ha, haha..."

Suddenly, Qin Yi burst into laughter, doubling over with mirth.

After quite a while, he calmed down, clasped his hands together, and said, "Farewell, until we meet again!"

With that, Qin Yi finally turned and left the park.

...

Three hours later, eerie music started playing in the quiet park.

By now, it was close to 1 AM. In the still park, the music sounded like something haunting.

Xuan Ming slowly opened his eyes, seeing a sky full of stars above. He lay still for a moment, then tried to sit up using his arms, but his whole body ached, making him wince.

Turning his head, he saw Xuan Cha and the others still unconscious.

Xuan Ming grimaced and got up, waking the other three. Soon, all four were wincing in pain.

"That Qin Yi really hit hard..."

Having had some drinks earlier left their bodies sluggish, not feeling much pain during the beating, but now the soreness was intense.

The eerie music started again.

Xuan Ming paused, pulling out his phone; it was his ringtone.

"Shh, it’s a call from above."

The four quieted down as Xuan Ming answered the phone.

"Xuan Ming, why hasn’t Qin Yi been brought back yet?" a steady male voice asked on the other end.

Xuan Ming feigned regret and said seriously, "Sorry, Qin Yi got away."

"Got away?" the voice on the other end rose by eight decibels, "Four of you let Qin Yi escape? Why didn’t you say so earlier?"

Xuan Ming paused, thinking to himself ’the boss is the boss, acting is second nature,’ so he had to cooperate and, with regret, said, "Sorry, we almost had Qin Yi, but suddenly a strong man in black appeared, and we were no match for him."

"Strong man in black?" the voice was surprised, then shouted, "Forget the man in black, I’ll send reinforcements immediately. You must bring back Qin Yi."

"Xuan Ming, I’m warning you, I received a death order from above. Fail to bring back Qin Yi, and I’ll be expected with my own head. If you don’t capture Qin Yi, you four bring me your heads."

Xuan Ming was dumbfounded, feeling something was amiss, "Weren’t we instructed to let Qin Yi go for the act?"

"What did you say?" the voice screamed another octave, "What act? What letting Qin Yi go?"

As Xuan Ming was on speakerphone, the others heard the voice, their faces turned pale.

"We..."

Xuan Ming initially wanted to explain, but seeing Xuan Cha and the others frantically shaking their heads, he understood and changed his words, "We guarantee to complete the mission."

After ending the call, the four exchanged looks, turning pale and then green.

They had been tricked, all of them conned by Qin Yi.

That bastard, chatting, drinking tea, playing chess, and fishing with the Azure Dragon Guardian God? Likely all lies, they were truly fooled at the moment. Even the Azure Dragon Token was probably a fake.

Qin Yi had a lot of nerve to forge the Azure Dragon Token!

The key issue was, they treated Qin Yi to food and drinks, then let him beat them up...

They couldn’t help but feel shame and anger at the thought, wanting to dig a hole to hide in or ram themselves against a tree, it was too humiliating.

But how could they not think about it? The pain from their injuries, though superficial, was intense with every movement, and moreover, these injuries were self-inflicted at their request.

"Ah..."

Xuan Ming couldn’t hold back a blood-curdling scream, startling the birds roosting at night into flight.

That bastard Qin Yi, who knows how he’s laughing at their stupidity now?

They were all seasoned veterans, nearing two hundred years old, yet they were played like monkeys by a twenty-year-old kid, it was unbearable.

Meanwhile, Qin Yi was already in the air.

In first class, sipping coffee, holding an English newspaper.

"You’re impressive, bro, reading an English newspaper, I’m in awe of cultured people," a gaudy man with large gold rings and a gold chain admired Qin Yi.

Qin Yi smiled, "I can’t understand it either."

Gaudy man: "Why read it if you can’t understand it?"

"Who reads things they understand?"

Gaudy man: "..."

This guy seems off, better not provoke him, seeing his sleazy gaze and frequent weird smiles, he might be eyeing my gold chain!

Indeed, there was something eerie about Qin Yi’s smile, Xuan Ming and the others must have woken up by now, were they looking for a hole to hide in or for some tofu to bash their heads with?

...

Somewhere else, in a spacious courtyard, surrounded by red brick walls and paved with bluestone.

In the courtyard stood a large locust tree that two people together couldn’t hug around, under which were stone tables and benches.

On the stone table was a chessboard, with two elderly men sitting across from each other, one holding black pieces and the other white, intently playing a game.
