Cai Xueli was indeed a little confused at this point.
She clearly heard the noise inside the house before rushing over, so what's going on now?
The second senior brother and father were sitting together harmoniously.
This was completely different from what she had imagined.
Even if your relationship has improved somewhat, the speed at which your feelings have intensified is far too fast! It was clearly very tense when you first met!
She felt that her brain wasn't working properly.
"What's wrong, Lili? Is something the matter?" Wu Heng put down his teacup and asked calmly when he saw Cai Xueli staring blankly.
"I," Cai Xueli breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little embarrassed. "I just came to let you know that the food is almost ready and I'd like to call you to eat."
"I'll go to the kitchen and urge them again!"
After she finished speaking, she reached out and pulled up the two wooden doors that were cracked and could not be closed properly.
Her single ponytail swayed as she ran quickly towards the kitchen without looking back.
"Sigh, you see? She's still like a child, which is why I haven't told her the truth."
Cai Baosheng glanced at Wu Heng as he finished speaking, "To be honest, I regret telling you the truth."
Wu Heng remained silent.
He guessed that Kou Kun's original personality was probably not bad.
This can be seen from Cai Xueli's performance.
It's very likely that Kou Kun's complete change of heart was because the old man told him the truth.
When all efforts are about to lose their meaning, and one doesn't even have the right to survive, people are bound to go mad.
Of course, this was just Wu Heng's guess based on the information on Kou Kun's phone.
He felt that the fact that he could impersonate someone else in the real world and had no relevant memories of it was very bad.
Although the memories of the possessed individuals in the story world are fragmented.
But that's enough to piece together a complete character.
"By the way, how did you break through? When you returned the things to Lili, had you already broken through, or had you discovered an opportunity?"
Cai Baosheng asked, his gaze seemingly filled with hope.
"I had a feeling, and after taking a nap, I woke up. I hadn't broken through yet; that happened later!" Wu Heng had no idea what it felt like to awaken as a psionicist, so he just made it up.
"This is your good fortune." Upon hearing this, Cai Baosheng's eyes showed a mixture of frustration and joy, along with a glimmer of hope. "I've long heard that after reaching the limits of the human body, there's a greater probability of awakening than for ordinary people. I always thought it was just a rumor, but I never expected it to be true."
"Over the years, I've done a lot of research. Most people's awakening happens during the growth phase before the age of 20. Very few, almost none, happen after 20. At 32, you've practically confirmed that rumor."
"If this news gets out, I wonder how many martial artists it will inspire."
At this point, Cai Baosheng angrily slapped his thigh again.
"Since you sensed an opportunity, why didn't you just take the bug and leave? Why did you give it to Lili?"
"Unlike those energy-based psychics who cannot use the Blood-Boiling Worm, you have awakened a physical-based one. If you were to use the Blood-Boiling Worm, wouldn't that be icing on the cake?"
"You returned it to Lili, and after she brought it back, I've already used it. I was even preparing to apply for the job."
The old man glared at him, seemingly blaming Wu Heng for not being able to distinguish between what was important and what was not.
"Forget it, with your current skills, you still have a chance to earn it again."
From the old man's expression, Wu Heng could tell that the old man's reluctance to give him the insect was not a pretense, but rather the old man's true feelings.
Even Cai Xueli's initial fear had completely vanished just now, and Wu Heng had lost another tiny source of power.
"It's just a bug. I happened to get my hands on one too." Wu Heng reached into his pocket and pulled out a small wooden box. He pried it open with his thumb, revealing a blood-red Blood-Boiling Worm inside.
The old man's eyes nearly popped out the moment he saw the Blood-Boiling Worm; he couldn't believe that his third brother had risked his life for it.
Wu Heng obtained another one so easily.
Immediately, Cai Baosheng began to carefully explain to Wu Heng the steps involved in Devourer Insects.
The old man spoke for a full ten minutes.
Wu Heng summarized it in one sentence: Just swallow it.
"Father, Second Brother, dinner is ready. Please stop chatting for now."
Cai Xueli, who seemed to be in a good mood, walked to the door with a bright smile and called out.
She looked completely different now compared to when Wu Heng met her in the Sunshine Residential Complex.
"Come on, let's go eat first. You've finally achieved your goal, and I'm proud of you." Old Cai said with a smile.
This was the best news he had heard in a long time.
The two sat down together at the dining table in the living room.
On the square wooden dining table were eight dishes, four cold and four hot, all everyday dishes, yet they were quite appealing in terms of color, aroma, and taste.
In reality, aside from the banquets his mother took him to for weddings and funerals, Wu Heng's family would only serve a maximum of two or three dishes during holidays.
If you add any more, the leftovers will spoil and become a waste.
"Father, Second Brother, here you go!"
Cai Xueli used chopsticks to pick up a chicken leg from the stewed chicken in the middle and gave one to each of Wu Heng and Cai Baosheng.
At this moment, she was like a kitten or dog that had become active after getting used to the environment.
Cai Baosheng glanced at his daughter, then at Wu Heng, and suddenly spoke:
" A-Kun, what do you think of Lili?"
These words instantly made Cai Xueli's face turn red, and she almost dropped her chopsticks, completely panicking.
Cai Baosheng also had his own considerations. Although Kou Kun had been very irritable before, it was understandable. Now, his biggest worry was his daughter.
Wu Heng glanced at Cai Baosheng's expression and knew what the other was thinking, so he said directly:
"It's alright, not as lifeless as it was a while ago. But you need to eat more; you need more muscle to practice boxing, so you can train well and hit people harder."
"By the way, has Zhao Xu not been found yet?"
"He used to spend every day with Lili, so why did he disappear for so many days this time? Could something have happened to him? Hasn't he contacted the relevant authorities to investigate?"
Wu Heng's words instantly shattered the harmonious atmosphere at the table, causing worry to return to the faces of the two people next to him.
He said that on purpose.
Otherwise, if things continue like this, the old man might say something like entrusting his daughter with his life, and then Cai Xueli might develop inappropriate thoughts about him because she's been exposed.
If Wu Heng were Kou Kun himself, perhaps he wouldn't have refused.
However, he always remembered that he was the one who killed Kou Kun and Zhao Xu, and was therefore the enemy who murdered their relatives and friends.
Come here by yourself.
It's merely to solidify their identities, not to create entanglements or ill-fated relationships.
Although this conversation and meal made him feel as if he had returned to a past life, as if he were still an ordinary person.
But let's stop here!
"Sigh, I've been asking around to find them, but there's still no news."
Cai Baosheng kept his words to himself, because he knew in his heart that his daughter was actually closer to his fourth disciple, Zhao Xu, as she grew up. Now that Zhao Xu hadn't even been found, it would be unfair to him to force a marriage between Zhao Xu.
After all, he treated Kou Kun and Zhao Xu like sons; they were both his flesh and blood.
As the conversation turned somber, everyone quietly lowered their heads to eat when the sound of a car engine It Comes the doorway.
Wu Heng put down his chopsticks and turned to look towards the door.
The old man and Cai Xueli were puzzled by Wu Heng's actions, as they could not hear the sounds outside from a distance.
Outside the martial arts school, as the car engine was turned off, the gate of the mansion was pushed open with a creak.
Steady footsteps sounded.
Four burly men in suits were already standing at the entrance.
They stood side by side on either side of the doorway, looking like bodyguards.
Immediately afterwards,
A strangely dressed man walked It Comes through the door.
The man had sunken eyes, a gaunt face with skin clinging to his jawbone, but a plump, round body, like a seal.
His entire body was wrapped in a black robe-like garment.
Weighing well over 250 pounds, its withered head and obese body looked extremely disproportionate together.
"The people of New Moon, why It Comes so early!"
"Let's go take a look."
Upon seeing the man in black, Cai Baosheng glanced at Wu Heng, muttered something under his breath, then stood up and went to greet him.
Wu Heng and Cai Xueli also followed behind.
"Mr. Qi, why didn't you even call to let me know? I'm so sorry for not welcoming you properly. You're such a busy man, what It Comes you to an old man like me today?"
Old Cai felt a sense of unease, but on the surface he remained cheerful.
"Hehe, Master Cai, I don't come here unless I need something. I've come to ask for your help today. Oh, are you eating?"
Mr. Qi, dressed in black, chuckled and replied, then tilted his head to look at the dining table in the hall.
"It was just served, we haven't even had a chance to touch it yet. What a coincidence! Please take a seat." Old Cai's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, but he forced himself to remain silent.
However, his words were clearly somewhat superfluous.
Before he could even speak, the fat man in the black robe had already strode into the living room.
Then, without any hesitation, he sat down, his large body causing the wooden chair to creak and groan.
He reached into the bowl and pinched the chicken leg that Old Cai had already taken a bite out of.
Without hesitation, he stuffed it into his mouth.
The shriveled cheeks were instantly filled out with the whole chicken leg, the upper and lower teeth scraped against the bone, and with a gentle tug of the fingers, the clean leg bone was pulled out.
All the chicken meat remained in my mouth.
There was no sign of chewing; it just gulped it down.
Wu Heng could see a bulge in his thin neck, like a snake swallowing an egg, which slid down into his stomach.
"It's too bland, add more garlic next time!"
The fat man in the black robe, who had tossed the bone into the old man's bowl, continued:
"There have been some changes recently, and we're short-staffed. According to the original contract, each martial arts school must have at least one extreme-level martial artist within the organization. You've already filled in your name, so pack your things and come with me."
"Isn't there still a two-week grace period?" Cai Baosheng said.
"What difference does it make whether it's half a month more or less? A lot has happened recently, and the company's senior management has all been busy with other tasks, causing widespread anxiety. That's why I 'It Comes you ahead of schedule."
"At the very least, you are an insect feeder."
As the fat man in the black robe spoke, he reached into Wu Heng's bowl and grabbed the chicken leg that had already been half-eaten.
Wu Heng stood to the side, his eyes flickering.
The fat man in front of me should be a member of the psionic organization behind the Red Pine Martial Arts Hall, and he doesn't seem to be very strong.
If he wants to join, he first needs to demonstrate a certain level of strength so he won't be treated as a lackey. He also needs to cultivate a certain personality, ideally the kind that no one would bother with.
More importantly,
He didn't like having his saliva eaten by other men, as it gave him the feeling of being kissed indirectly.
So he quickly reached out and picked up the chicken leg he had already gnawed on, saying calmly:
"This is what I left over; it has saliva on it. You can have some other dishes instead!"
"Hey!" The fat man chuckled, giving Wu Heng a playful look. "I just like eating things that are drooling, so what?"
Wu Heng originally wanted to cause trouble and then settle it.
'Hmph! Pshaw!'
He cleared his throat and spat it into the stewed chicken in the middle of the table, then said again:
"Eat up, your mouth is watering!"
To Wu Heng's surprise, the fat man merely glanced at Wu Heng with a meaningful look, then ignored the saliva floating in the stewed chicken.
He reached out and scooped the whole chicken up.
After taking four or five bites, he finally smiled and turned to look at Cai Baosheng looked very conflicted.
"Mr. Cai, let me introduce you. This guy must have something to rely on to be so irritable!"
"I'm not trying to be mean, but if you have something to rely on, just show it. Don't hold back. We can talk things out! Why do you have to make things worse? Don't you agree?"
"You should know how many conflicts and hatreds are caused by trivial matters. It's unnecessary, really unnecessary!"
When the fat man in the black robe mentioned "a small matter," he made a gesture of pinching his little finger.
Upon hearing this, Cai Baosheng's expression became even more conflicted.
He didn't know how strong Wu Heng really was, but the person in front of him was a Tier 2 physical body system psychic. In his opinion, Wu Heng had just awakened and was definitely no match for him.
"This is my second apprentice, Kou Kun. He was previously at the limit of human potential, but now he has become a psionicist. He has always had a rather volatile temper, so please forgive him, Mr. Qi!"
"Oh? A psionicist!"
Upon hearing this, Fatty Qi looked at Wu Heng in surprise, and then said:
"So that means there aren't any other ambushes?" He patted his chest, noticing the greasy handprints didn't stain his clothes, and looked relieved. Then he smiled at Wu Heng:
"Hey bro, wanna practice?"
"As the saying goes, there's always someone better. It's okay to be short-tempered, but you have to be able to bear the consequences."
Wu Heng didn't say anything, and turned around to walk towards the training ground next to him.
Unexpectedly, this fat man was a smart guy. At the very least, he had a good sense of control over his attitude towards others, always keeping Cai Baosheng in a state of fear or trepidation.
"Alright, I like straightforward people like you, bro. Let me teach you the first trick."
Despite his large size, Fatty Qi was surprisingly agile, and he pounced on Wu Heng the instant he turned around.
"That was a sneak attack!"
Its massive body pressed down on Wu Heng, seemingly trying to kill him.
Wu Heng suddenly turned around, crossed his arms, and used his elbows to block the impact that felt like a small car. The fat on this fat man's body was as hard as muscle.
He deliberately pretended to take a few steps back, keeping his power firmly controlled within the top tier of the first level.
I'm worried that if I'm not careful, I might accidentally cause this fat guy to die from a rebound.
"As expected, he's a psychic specializing in physical abilities."
Fatty Qi threw a right hook, and the fat in his body flowed rapidly to his fist like liquid, making his fist look like a pot lid, while his body became thinner and thinner.
As Wu Heng dodged, Qi Pangzi swung his left fist again. At this moment, Qi Pangzi was like a giant pendulum, the thickness of his two arms changing back and forth, as if there was a lead ball at his shoulders, moving back and forth along his arms. He kept spinning and smashing towards Wu Heng.
This imposing presence is like that of an agile humanoid road roller.
If Old Cai were to go up there, even if the human body were pushed to its limits, it would still be made of flesh and blood and would not be able to withstand the crushing force of the road roller.
