I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 51: A Visit to Apologize

Jiang’s Noodle Shop.

Uncle Da Wang slurped noisily from a big bowl, wolfing down the fragrant braised pork noodles.

He really looked like a reincarnated starving ghost.

"Uncle Da Wang, eat slowly. If it’s not enough, you can add more noodles."

Sitting across from him, Zhang Yuan felt a pang of sympathy, guessing that this man hadn’t had a proper meal in a long time.

Chen Dawang ate a full three big bowls of noodles before finally putting down his chopsticks.

He wiped his mouth and said sheepishly, "Brother Yuan, I’m sorry for making a fool of myself."

To a villager, Zhang Yuan, who treated him to a full meal, already seemed like a benefactor, so he spoke with noteworthy politeness.

Zhang Yuan asked the waiter to clear away the empty bowls and then poured him a cup of tea, asking, "What exactly happened with Zhang Xiong you mentioned?"

"Sigh~"

Chen Dawang sighed deeply, his eyes reddening again: "I really must have lost my mind back then!"

At that time, when the Chen Family announced they were recruiting laborers to open up mountains and build roads, he was the first to run over and sign up, thinking cheerfully that he’d found a good job.

Never expected it would lead to a fatal disaster!

Back then, Zhang Xiong, whom the Chen Family hired to guard the City God Statue, was the first to run away when a strange occurrence happened, abandoning hundreds of leaderless people.

Chen Dawang first heard someone shouting, "Everybody, run!" and then saw Zhang Xiong sneaking away.

Panicked, he immediately dropped his tools and fled for his life.

Looking back now, Chen Dawang doesn’t even know how he managed to escape Qianfeng Mountain.

Maybe it just wasn’t his time yet.

However, none of the family and friends who participated in the roadwork with Chen Dawang made it out!

Chen Family Village was gone too!

That day, Chen Dawang staggered all the way to the county town, reporting and seeking help at the County Government Office.

He ended up being accused of "spreading false rumors," and was thrown into jail for more than half a month.

Although he was later released, he lost his home and his family!

With sadness and helplessness, Chen Dawang could only work odd jobs as a laborer outside the city, struggling to survive.

Before meeting Zhang Yuan, he hadn’t found work for two days.

He also hadn’t eaten for two days.

As he spoke, the man couldn’t help but sob.

"Chen Dawang, don’t be upset."

Zhang Yuan sighed and said, "How about this? Tonight, you stay at an inn, and tomorrow morning I will find someone to arrange a steady job for you, to help you live on!"

The Chen Dawang family was alright, and now only he was left, which was indeed tragic.

Since Zhang Yuan happened to meet him, and it was not a big deal, he felt helping him would be good for his conscience.

Chen Dawang was moved to tears: "Thank you, thank you!"

So Zhang Yuan arranged for him to stay at a nearby inn.

The next morning, Zhang Yuan took Chen Dawang to the docks outside the city again.

He briefly explained his situation to Chen Zhize, who promptly arranged a labor job for him.

Although dock work was dirty and tiring, many people wanted to do it but couldn’t get in.

If it wasn’t for meeting Zhang Yuan, someone like Chen Dawang couldn’t have found the temple even with a pig’s head!

After setting up this fellow villager, Zhang Yuan rowed down the river toward the River Bay District.

Today, his luck was good, as he happened to come across a school of fish, catching a dozen or so carp in one net!

Seeing the lively fish flopping on the boat, Zhang Yuan felt that good deeds are rewarded.

He didn’t hesitate at all and immediately sacrificed all the carp.

He converted them to Source Material and invested it into the Divine Nest’s core!

Because the Divine Nest was only 9% away from evolving from Level 1 to Level 2.

If it successfully upgraded, not only could the Divine Nest add a new nest chamber, but it would also enhance the host.

The stakes were high!

Zhang Yuan continued casting the net, working hard.

He would rather delay today’s training session than miss out on today’s luck!

It wasn’t until late morning that he reluctantly docked the scow and went into Whale Castle to practice martial arts.

As soon as he stepped into the training room, he saw a stranger standing inside.

Along with Chao Bao!

The middle-aged man looked to be around forty, tall and ordinary-looking.

Before Zhang Yuan could speak, the man smiled and said, "You must be Zhang Yuan? I’m Outer Hall Incense Master Chao Hongjie, I’ve been waiting for you here for a while."

Chao Hongjie!

Chao Bao’s uncle?

Zhang Yuan hadn’t expected this uncle and nephew to come looking for him today!

Were they here to settle accounts?

Zhang Yuan became very wary.

But on the surface, he remained calm, saluting, "Disciple Zhang Yuan, greets Master Chao!"

Regardless of the other’s intentions.

Zhang Yuan didn’t want to lose his manners and give anyone a handle to grab.

"No need for formalities."

Chao Hongjie waved his hand and said, "Today I brought Chao Bao to apologize to you. His behavior yesterday was inappropriate and detrimental to the harmony of our Furious Whale Gang. I hope you can forgive him."

This Outer Hall Incense Master turned his head and sternly told Chao Bao, "Apologize!"

Chao Bao had lost all of his arrogance from the day before.

Under Chao Hongjie’s scolding, his dark, ugly face turned purplish-red.

He was very reluctant as he bowed to Zhang Yuan and said, "Junior Brother Zhang, I’m sorry."

Zhang Yuan’s eyes flickered, and he smiled, "No need to mention it, it was just some verbal dispute, not worth mentioning, it’s all in the past."

Regardless of whether Chao Bao was sincerely apologizing or not, since his uncle Chao Hongjie had come to make peace, as a Battle Hall preparatory disciple, Zhang Yuan must give them an out.

Otherwise, it would become an endless vendetta!

Zhang Yuan wasn’t afraid, but there was no need to go that far.

The martial world wasn’t just about fighting; it was more about human relationships.

"Hmm."

Chao Hongjie praised, "As expected of Instructor Dong’s favored new disciple, truly unparalleled!"

Then this Incense Master suddenly switched topics, "Zhang Yuan, actually, Chao Bao’s recklessness yesterday had its reasons..."

According to Chao Hongjie, Chao Bao wanted to occupy the River Bay District to catch a rare fish species.

White Dragon Loach!

The White Dragon Loach resembled a loach, but it was larger than the average loach.

Plus, it was covered in scales, horned, and had a translucent white body, looking very peculiar!

"Chao Bao’s mother fell seriously ill and needed White Dragon Loach’s blood as a medicinal catalyst for treatment."

Chao Hongjie explained, "But White Dragon Loach is extremely rare, years ago someone caught one in the River Bay."

"Chao Bao is devotedly filial to his mother, and in desperation, he did something wrong."

"Zhang Yuan..."

This Outer Hall Incense Master looked at Zhang Yuan, speaking warmly, "If you catch a White Dragon Loach, we, the Chao Family, are willing to pay triple the price, and we really apologize for any earlier offenses."

As he spoke, he earnestly cupped his fists in salute to Zhang Yuan.

"No need!"

Zhang Yuan quickly returned the salute, speaking firmly, "Master Chao, if I catch a White Dragon Loach, I will definitely give it to you, money isn’t important at all!"

"Great!"

Chao Hongjie looked touched, then gave a heavy slap to the back of Chao Bao’s head, "Look at him!"

He shook his head, sighing to Zhang Yuan, "I’m sorry to bother you today, let’s have a drink and chat another time, farewell."

Zhang Yuan courteously saw the uncle and nephew out of the training room.

Turning back, he couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh.

Isn’t this all just a performance?

Who can’t put on a show!
