Prodigal System in the Flourishing City-Chapter 1126 - 1125: Don’t Remind Me!

Time slipped by in a flash.

Ye Changsheng didn’t get a wink of sleep all night.

Mainly because the thought of giving Lu Xiaobu a good beating the next day made him excited... er, no, extremely worried.

After all, if Lu Xiaobu cried from fright, Ye thought he would be delighted... er, no, so sad!

Thus, the next day, Ye Changsheng got up early.

First, he kicked Pan Yang and Zheng Hai awake and then had them go wake up Lu Xiaobu.

Lu Xiaobu opened his eyes and continued sitting by the mountain’s edge, pondering the meaning of life. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

In front of him was a cliff, not a sheer ninety-degree drop but still quite steep.

Unlike him, Pan Yang and Zheng Hai dared not get too close to this place, keeping a distance of about two or three meters from Lu Xiaobu, afraid of accidentally falling.

At this moment.

Ye Changsheng arrived beside Lu Xiaobu, standing there.

The mountain breeze of the morning rustled his Daoist robe, giving him quite the appearance of an Immortal.

He posed thoughtfully for a while.

When he realized no one was applauding, he felt a bit deflated.

So.

"Lu Xiaobu, do you want to know the answer?" Ye Changsheng asked, looking off into the distant peaks, his voice ethereal and elusive.

"Sure." Lu Xiaobu replied casually.

"Then jump off from here," Ye Changsheng continued looking at the distant peaks, "Once you leap off, that experience of near-death..."

At this point, he looked down: "Huh? Where’s Lu Xiaobu?"

"He... he... he’s gone down!" Pan Yang stuttered, shivering and pointing below the cliff.

Zheng Hai was dumbstruck.

He had seen it.

After Ye Changsheng said to jump off from here, Lu Xiaobu just dove off as if diving into a pool.

Without a second’s hesitation.

"Pfft!" Ye Changsheng almost spat blood in disbelief!

Watching Lu Xiaobu plummeting down at high speed nearly drove him insane!

Then, he also jumped down after him!

His mind was buzzing now!

Lu Xiaobu, are you even human?!

This is a cliff, nearly a hundred meters high!

You just jump at a word?!

No hesitation whatsoever?!

Are you really fearless of death?!

Damn you! Damn you! Damn you!

Everyone who’s learned some physics knows that two objects of differing weights fall at the same speed.

So, Ye Changsheng chose not to jump straight after him.

Instead, he opted to run almost vertically down the cliff.

When he encountered large rocks, he didn’t dodge and ran into them head-on!

He couldn’t let Lu Xiaobu die!

The Grandmaster’s power wasn’t for nothing, Ye Changsheng, though at a disadvantage, still managed to catch Lu Xiaobu.

However, while he’s a Grandmaster, his clothes certainly weren’t!

While crashing through the rocks, his Daoist robe had been torn to shreds, leaving him looking like a beggar; he could probably collect a good amount of money in a day at a tourist site.

Looking at Lu Xiaobu, who was totally unscathed, he let out a long sigh—Thank goodness, thank goodness!

But just then.

Lu Xiaobu calmly asked, "Where’s the answer?!"

"Answer your mother, you bastard!" Ye Changsheng was almost infuriated to death on the spot!

Damn you! You scared the hell out of me!

Made me look like a beggar!

And you act like nothing happened?!

Now you even dare ask me for the answer?!

I don’t know!

Get lost!

Ye Changsheng was furious, but he didn’t actually throw Lu Xiaobu away—after all, they were still halfway up the cliff.

If he threw him, who knows, he might really die.

So, carrying Lu Xiaobu, he sulked as he climbed back up.

And as if that wasn’t enough!

The most, most, most infuriating thing, would you believe it?!

Lu Xiaobu, that little bastard, kept on asking him: "The answer? The answer?!"

Ye Changsheng wanted to kill someone, really wanted to kill someone!

Once they reached the top, he tossed Lu Xiaobu on the ground and turned to walk back into the temple.

What?! You say he promised something yesterday?! Said if Lu Xiaobu was fearless, he’d call him something?!

I don’t know!

Don’t remind me!

I don’t want to know! I never said it!

Get lost, get lost, get lost!

If any of you mention it again, I’ll kill you all!

Ye Changsheng marched back in, seething with anger.

Zheng Hai and Pan Yang, meanwhile, looked at Lu Xiaobu, who seemed unfazed as if nothing happened, with admiration!

Honestly! They were in awe of Lu Xiaobu, like a river overflowing its banks, unstoppable!

Absolutely incredible!

Absolutely incredible!

Jumping down such a high cliff without a blink!

They felt shaky just standing near the edge!

And Young Master Lu? Not a shred of fear!

They believed that Young Master Lu knew Ye Changsheng wouldn’t let him die and had calculated everything before jumping.

This kind of strategy, intellect, the kind that can outwit a Grandmaster, is downright terrifying!

They decided that from today on, they would be Young Master Lu’s devoted followers, ready to follow him anywhere!

Ye Changsheng? Grandmaster? Who cares!

Try showing off in front of Young Master Lu?!

"Pan Yang! Zheng Hai! Get in here! I’m feeling generous today; I’ll teach you some martial arts!" Ye Changsheng’s voice echoed from inside the temple!

The delighted expressions on Pan Yang and Zheng Hai froze instantly!

They exchanged a look of despair, heads hanging low as they walked in!

Teach us martial arts, my foot!

This Ye Changsheng just can’t beat Young Master Lu, so he takes it out on us!

Predictably!

"To learn to fight, first you must learn to take a beating! So today, we’ll train your resistance to hits!" Ye Changsheng’s voice came out.

And then!

"Whack!"

"Aah!"

The sound of palms meeting flesh and cries of pain merged into a beautiful symphony.

But Lu Xiaobu paid it no mind.

He truly hadn’t thought much about it.

It was just a cliff jump, with much less risk than his previous building jump, if jumping off could provide an answer, it was worth it!

Even if it didn’t, no big deal!

So, when told to jump, he jumped!

Thus, Lu Xiaobu sat by the hill the entire day.

Zheng Hai and Pan Yang lay on their beds all day.

Ye Changsheng didn’t hold back; after all, he was fuming these past few days!

However, he didn’t really hit them harshly; despite the beating, he treated their injuries and even taught them a few moves.

Taking a beating and getting lessons from a Grandmaster is something many could only dream of.

So, Pan Yang and Zheng Hai bore no grudge, rather feeling a bit gratified.

While they felt the gratification, Ye Changsheng was once again left with a headache.

Even fear of death doesn’t faze Lu Xiaobu!

Or perhaps he calculated every possibility, leaving nothing to chance, making solving his inner conflicts an almost insurmountable task!

Clearly, like Pan Yang and Zheng Hai, he believed Lu Xiaobu had strategized everything and dared to jump!

However, regardless of what he thinks, this incident had him pulling his hair out!

What the hell should he do now?!
