Chapter 100: The Scheme of Orchid Daoist
"Ah, it's nothing, heh heh..."
Xiao Yun also wore a hesitant expression, letting out an awkward laugh.
It's no joke; regarding Ouyang Xiaomei's illness, although he had found a treatment method, what would Ouyang Bing think if he were to reveal it? She might suspect that he was deliberately taking advantage of the situation for ulterior motives, and at that point, he wouldn't be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
Forget it; perhaps he should look for a better treatment method in the future.
Thus, Xiao Yun swallowed the words that were about to come out.
However, this expression fell into Ouyang Bing's eyes, and combined with the sound of him swallowing like a hungry wolf, it took on another meaning.
"Pervert, beast..."
Ouyang Bing first looked at him with confusion, then her pretty face flushed red. With a cold snort, she turned and left, her heels clicking on the ground.
Glancing at her curvy figure as she swiftly swayed her hips away, Xiao Yun smiled wickedly.
This violent girl is really interesting!
Not far from the Rose Garden Community, Ouyang Bing's phone rang.
She took out her phone to check and her expression immediately turned cold.
Pressing the answer button, the voice of Xue Rui came through: "Bing, I'm going to be transferred to the countryside for work tomorrow. Before I leave, I want to invite you out for dinner tonight!"
"Is there really a need for that?"
"There is, there is! Bing, I truly love you..."
"I'm sorry, but please don't talk to me about love. I have no respect for you at all."
"Bing, let me explain..."
"There’s nothing to explain."
Ouyang Bing abruptly hung up the phone.
At that moment, on the other end of the line, Xue Rui was sitting alone in a bar, pouring himself a drink. His face looked worse than that of a corpse.
This was a small bar, different from others in that it opened during the day as well, though it had far fewer customers compared to the night.
"You vulgar bitch, one day I'll make you lie beneath me and submit!" A cruel glint flashed in Xue Rui's eyes.
He gritted his teeth and muttered to himself, "Xiao Yun, I won't let you off either. Hmph, when the time comes, I'll make sure you die a miserable death!"
"Hey there, little brother. What kind of deep-seated grudge do you have against Xiao Yun? Can you tell me about it?" A colder voice suddenly sounded from behind Xue Rui.
Startled, Xue Rui turned around and saw a person standing in front of him. Dressed in Taoist robes with long hair cascading over his shoulders, he had a single eye and appeared quite peculiar—he was exceptionally ugly.
Xue Rui furrowed his brows and hesitantly asked, "Who are you?"
"A person here to help you!" The speaker was none other than Orchid Daoist.
As he said this, he casually sat down opposite Xue Rui.
Since that night at the Pavilion under Mirror Lake Park, when Orchid Daoist nearly lost his life at the hands of Xiao Yun, he dared not return to Beijing. Fortunately, Wolf Gang's Grand Master Lu Jiutang took him in.
Orchid Daoist was Lu Jiutang's biological father. Thirty-two years ago, shortly after his son was born, he left home to study the Dao at Maoshan, achieving some minor success before being bought over by Song Chaoyang in the capital.
Lu Jiutang held no fondness for this father of his. That night, when he was rudely awakened from his sleep, he was furious. Upon learning that the old man lying on the ground, covered in injuries, was actually his biological father, a surge of unnameable rage welled up inside him; he wished he could kick him to death.
It was because of his father's abandonment that his mother had been heartbroken and passed away early, leaving him as a homeless orphan. To survive, he wandered and begged for food, enduring disdain and various humiliations from others.
Every time he thought of his mother's death, Lu Jiutang felt an intense hatred for his irresponsible father. He swore in secret several times that if his father ever returned, he would drag him to his mother's grave and use his blood to honor her spirit!
Now, this old man actually had the nerve to step through this door!
"Since he's here, I will make sure he dies a painful death!" Lu Jiutang gritted his teeth and prepared to punish Orchid Daoist but was stopped by his wife.
Lu Jiutang's wife was named Cold Brow. She was beautiful and kind-hearted. Normally, Lu Jiutang held absolute power in Wolf Gang, but upon returning home, he treated her with great respect and followed her every word.
Cold Brow persuaded him, saying, "Lu Jiutang, as the saying goes: 'A father may err, but a son should not blame.' No matter what, he is still your father; without him, there would be no you. He may be wrong in countless ways, but you cannot do anything that goes against Heavenly Principle to him. Otherwise, how can your brothers under you trust you if you can't even tolerate your own father?"
Cold Brow's words finally calmed Lu Jiutang's mood.
However, upon seeing the battered Orchid Daoist, Lu Jiutang was secretly shocked. He had heard from his family that his father was obsessed with Taoist arts in his youth and was quite skilled. Now that he had returned, he wondered what kind of enemies he had offended to end up in such a state. He hoped it wouldn't implicate him or the Wolf Gang.
Lu Jiutang was not cowardly; otherwise, he wouldn't have the influence he had today. He simply didn't want to risk losing his subordinates over an old man who had no emotional ties to him.
The old man was cunning, especially someone like Orchid Daoist, who could easily see through Lu Jiutang's hidden motives. He let out a muffled grunt in his heart.
It was ridiculous; after being away from home for so many years, how could he admit that he had returned to the galaxy only to be beaten by a young punk? His pride wouldn't allow it.
He casually told a lie: “Liu Jiutang, to be honest, I’ve made some money these past few years while I was out. On my way back this time, I unexpectedly ran into robbers. Alas, not only did they take my money, but I also ended up seriously injured…”
Lu Jiutang didn't believe his words at all, but ultimately decided to keep him around. However, he assigned two people to watch over him, not allowing him to leave freely.
In the backyard of the Lu Family, Orchid Daoist had a separate room where he practiced every morning and evening, trying to recover his powers. Unfortunately, he had been beaten too badly by Xiao Yun, and at that moment, he couldn't enter a state of cultivation at all.
Fortunately, he still possessed some dark arts; drawing talismans and casting spells were still within his capabilities.
One day, feeling stifled in the backyard and noticing the two guards watching him closely from a distance, Orchid Daoist became quite irritated. He casually drew two talismans and took advantage of their momentary distraction to strike them directly.
The two guards immediately collapsed as if they had inhaled incense, falling softly to the ground.
Orchid Daoist dragged them into an abandoned storeroom and let out a long sigh of relief before swaggering out of the backyard and onto the street.
To be honest, he felt a bit anxious on the street, fearing an encounter with Xiao Yun.
He strolled into a bar and found a seat, conveniently positioned not far from Xue Rui, who was dressed in a police uniform.
Xue Rui was drinking heavily, and after a while, he made a phone call. Not long after, Orchid Daoist noticed that he hung up with an unfriendly expression, cursing as he mentioned Xiao Yun's name, which immediately piqued his interest.
Unexpectedly, this guy named Xiao had offended quite a few people, even the police.
However, from Xue Rui's expression, it was clear that although he hated Xiao Yun to the core, he seemed to have no way to deal with him. This left Orchid Daoist secretly puzzled about who exactly Xiao Yun was that even the police couldn't handle him.
"What can you do to help me?" Xue Rui glanced at the ugly old Daoist sitting across from him with great disdain and asked coldly.
Orchid Daoist chuckled, "I've been paying attention to you for a while now. You’re not heartbroken, are you? As long as you tell me what happened, I can help you. Besides, Xiao Yun is our common enemy!"
Xue Rui looked at him in surprise, then his expression turned cold as he said, "You've been stalking me?"
Orchid Daoist laughed and said, "You misunderstood. I just walked in and happened to hear you talking to yourself!"
"You have a grudge against Xiao Yun too?" Xue Rui asked coldly.
"That's right," Orchid Daoist replied casually. "You see this eye of mine? He had his underlings blind me!"
However, he then muttered to himself, "It's all my fault for underestimating him. With my connections in the Ancient Martial Arts Sect, if I had been more cautious, this little brat wouldn't have stood a chance against me!"
What? This old Daoist is from the Ancient Martial Arts Sect?
Xue Rui had also heard of the Ancient Martial Arts Sect, where a group of extraordinary masters thrived, all hidden away and rarely revealing themselves to the public.
The Ancient Martial Arts Sect was indeed a legendary existence!
Upon hearing Orchid Daoist's words, Xue Rui felt a surge of joy. One should not judge a person by their appearance; perhaps this seemingly unkempt old man truly had some skills.
"Since that's the case, let me tell you, that bastard Xiao actually stole my woman!" Xue Rui said bitterly.
Orchid Daoist asked, "Oh, is she very beautiful?"
"Indeed."
"Does Xiao Yun like her?"
Xue Rui replied resentfully, "Yes."
"Do you still care about that woman?"
"Isn't that obvious? She's my woman; how could I not care?"
A glint of malice flashed in Orchid Daoist's eyes.
He sneered, "Alright, kid, no matter who that woman is, within three days, I can help you get her into your bed!"
