"Bastard! Bastard!"
In the spacious room, Luo Ji hurled the wine bottles on the table against the wall, sending wine splashing everywhere.
Behind the young man, an elderly man past fifty stood quietly, letting him vent.
"Damn you, Chu Tiannan! I want you dead!" Luo Ji continued to roar, as though venting the fury in his heart.
"Why get angry, young master? He's just a little brat. Could he possibly compare to you?" The elderly man behind him stepped forward with a smile.
"Uncle Li, find me two girls. I really can't swallow this!" Unwilling to explain why, Luo Ji spoke directly to the elderly man behind him.
"As your butler, I'll naturally do everything I can for you. They'll be sent to your room in half an hour." With that, Butler Li walked out smiling, making sure to close the door gently.
"Chu Tiannan!" After calming down, Luo Ji gritted his teeth. If Zhang Yongquan hadn't appeared today, he would definitely have taught Chu Tiannan a harsh lesson.
He would make Chu Tiannan understand that there were some people in this world he couldn't afford to offend.
After calming down, Luo Ji got up and returned to bed, snorting coldly. "Just you wait. You'll fall into my hands."
That night, after taking Luo'er back to her dorm, Chu Tiannan returned to the room the academy had rented for him.
After a refreshing shower, Chu Tiannan lay on his bed, the corners of his lips lifting slightly.
Luo'er's arrival today had brought him a great deal of joy.
"I was planning to come find you after a while. I never thought you'd come find me first." The more Chu Tiannan thought about it, the harder it was not to smile. He subconsciously raised his right hand, and a faint dark-gold light flashed.
"Ugh, I still can't activate the Heaven-Deriving Sword. Do I really have to reach the Martial Master level?" Chu Tiannan tried again, but still got no results.
Host! Please stop making attempts at random. Your current strength is insufficient to activate the Heaven-Deriving Sword. If you have time to spare, wash up and go to bed early.
"Holy crap! Has the system become sentient?" Chu Tiannan abruptly sat up, looking stunned, then couldn't help asking.
"As long as I reach the Martial Master level, I'll be able to fully activate the Heaven-Deriving Sword, right?"
Host! Activation and full activation are two different things. Reaching the Martial Master level only means you can activate the Heaven-Deriving Sword. Whether you can cultivate the Heaven-Deriving Sword to a more powerful level will depend on your own talent. Only by becoming stronger will you gain more. That is even more true of the Heaven-Deriving Sword!
"Just as I thought!" A bright gleam flashed in Chu Tiannan's eyes. He had known it wouldn't be so simple, but that was precisely what filled him with fighting spirit. He chuckled and said.
"Now that's interesting. I love the feeling of constantly breaking through. Time for bed!"
Early the next morning, Chu Tiannan arrived at the training grounds as usual to begin his various tests.
Later that morning, with no classes scheduled, Chu Tiannan naturally headed out through the academy gates.
"Hey, Luo'er! I'm heading out for a bit. I'll be back for afternoon classes, so have lunch on your own. Right, see you this afternoon."
After the call, Chu Tiannan boarded a bus and arrived at the company where he worked part-time half an hour later.
Jiajiale Moving Company
"Brother Hai!" As the junior, Chu Tiannan warmly greeted the experienced worker who was showing him the ropes.
"Didn't expect you to get here so early, Tiannan." A plainly dressed middle-aged man smiled as he saw the young man in black approach.
He was the moving company's crew leader, Hai Gaopeng. He was well liked and had plenty of friends in the company, so everyone called him Brother Hai.
"You're in luck today. We've landed a big job. Once we're done, everyone gets a thousand for the day's wages!" Hai Gaopeng said with a smile.
"Then I really am lucky!" Hearing this, Chu Tiannan gave a rare smile as he spoke.
To the wealthy, a thousand yuan was nothing, but an ordinary family of three could spend less than two thousand a month if they were frugal.
So for someone like Hai Gaopeng, a thousand yuan for one job was quite a lot.
"Everyone's here. Get in!" As more and more people arrived at the company, Hai Gaopeng waved and called out. Brimming with enthusiasm, everyone climbed into the vehicle and headed for the client's home.
"Tiannan, we're going to a villa. Apparently, the owner is a successful businessman. Not only does he make a fortune, but his older brother is also a Martial Artist. People like that are ones we can only look up to."
In the vehicle, Hai Gaopeng spoke with feeling as he drove.
"Of course, follow my instructions when we get there. It's your first time, so I'll let you pick something easy to get used to it before giving you the heavy work. Don't go doing things on your own." Even while driving, Hai Gaopeng didn't forget to remind him.
"After all, with a household like this, even if they give us trouble, the police rarely intervene as long as no one dies. That's how powerful Martial Artists are."
Hearing Hai Gaopeng's helpless sigh, Chu Tiannan understood his sense of powerlessness and nodded slightly.
"Don't worry, Brother Hai. Once we get there, I'll follow all your instructions."
Although he said that, Chu Tiannan couldn't help sighing inwardly.
Strength! It all came down to strength. As long as a Martial Artist's level was high enough, wasn't deciding who was right and who was wrong just a matter of saying the word?
After a while, the vehicle arrived in a quiet residential neighborhood. Some of the homes were apartment buildings, while others were detached villas. Judging by the standard of the housing, anyone who could afford a villa naturally had considerable status.
Getting out, Chu Tiannan looked at the landscaping around him, every planting trimmed with an artistic touch, and couldn't help muttering inwardly. Money really does let you do whatever you want. Even the landscaping is so classy...
"Guys, get out and get to work. Head inside!" At Hai Gaopeng's command, the group of seven or eight, including Chu Tiannan, walked over.
After entering the villa, Chu Tiannan casually glanced around. Just as he was still marveling inwardly at the luxurious lives of the wealthy, his gaze suddenly fixed on a certain spot.
The next second, Chu Tiannan's expression shifted slightly.
