C17 Apologize and Apologize

Hengtian raised his head and looked over. He saw a group of people from the Zhao family walking in front, and there were two servants carrying a stretcher. The person who was lying unconscious was Ren Zhongming, who had fought with Hengtian.

Seeing this, the people from the Su family couldn't help but feel happy in their hearts.

"Hehe, how have you been, Brother Zhao?" Su Gui greeted with a smile. If someone didn't know what was going on, they would definitely think that Su Gui and Zhao Kang were old friends, but...

Zhao Kang was about to get angry when he heard this. For some reason, when he saw the Su family here, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. His eyes swept across the people of the Su family, and he saw a familiar figure. It was Hengtian!

Zhao Kang's fierce eyes instantly became filled with fear. His breathing couldn't help but quicken, and even the fierce expression on his face was frozen in that instant.

The group of people behind him also did not dare to look straight at Hengtian, and all of them avoided his indifferent gaze. For a moment, they all became silent.

Seeing this scene, the people from the Su family revealed expressions of schadenfreude.

When she saw Zhao Kang's deflated expression, Su Mei'er took two steps forward and asked with concern, her big watery eyes wide open: "What's wrong, Young Master Zhao, why are you so stern? That's not good. It looks like something with a green double shell, hehe!"

"Hahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter, and Zhao Kang's face became more and more ashen. He couldn't control the anger in his heart any longer. He pointed at Su Mei'er and shouted angrily, "You..."

However, before Zhao Kang could say anything else, Su Mei'er's face turned terrified. Like a frightened rabbit, she immediately ran behind Hengtian and tightly grabbed the back of his clothes, shrinking her petite body.

After that, Su Mei'er stuck her head out and said to Zhao Kang in a strange manner, "Young Master Zhao, I am so afraid..."

As she spoke, she patted her chest with a frightened expression.

The hatred in Zhao Kang's heart was like a flame as it soared up into the sky. His eyes were wide open, and his handsome face was twisted to a terrifying extent. He looked at the people from the Su family with a strong killing intent. However, when he looked at Hengtian, the killing intent in his eyes couldn't help but shrink. His eyes revealed deep fear and fear.

Although he was furious, he wasn't blinded by his anger. Otherwise, his father, the patriarch of the Zhao family, wouldn't have arranged for an experienced martial artist to stay by his side.

"Humph, you stinking brat, do you see it clearly now? This is the ridiculous and pathetic secular world! You want to fight with me? Think about it. If you were still the same ordinary pawnbroker as before, I am afraid that Zhao Kang wouldn't even need to say anything. The group of people behind him would have already pounced on him, and the people from the Su family wouldn't be so relaxed. You should know that this situation is all because of your own strength." Zi Feng said jokingly.

"Big brother, what are you trying to say?" Hengtian asked in his heart.

"Haha, actually, it's nothing. However, as you can see, this secular battle is just the tip of the iceberg.

Right now, it was only because you were stronger than them that Zhao Kang had to endure the anger of the Su family. If it was in the world of cultivation, the battle would be hundreds or even thousands of times more intense than the current situation. It was normal for him to attack and kill them.

There are those who are patient, but those people are even more terrible. Give them a chance, and they will kill you. So, we must get rid of the roots. Mo Yan has left himself with a potential threat. No matter how weak he is, he can't!" Zi Feng's voice sounded coldly in Hengtian's mind.

After a pause, Zi Feng could not help but sigh faintly when he saw Hengtian's thoughtful expression: "Actually, big brother also knows that even though you are cold by nature, you still have a benevolent heart in your heart. Big brother did not ask you to be the killer demon, but only wanted you to understand some things.

You may find it hard to accept, but young man, big brother - I've had it before - well, it's all up to you to see after you've had some experience, but what you have to remember is that, whether big brother is with you or not, you have to remember that strength is the most fundamental thing.

If you were strong enough, all your schemes would vanish before you; if you were strong enough, no one would dare to provoke you or those close to you; if you were strong enough, your brother, I... would not have ended up like this."

After a long while, Hengtian said to Zi Feng indifferently: "Big brother, I will remember your words!"

After saying that, Hengtian slowly raised his head and saw the people of the Zhao family in front of him.

Zhao Kang took a deep breath. He looked at Hengtian and the Su family brother and sister and snorted. "Let's go!"

After that, the people of the Zhao family followed Zhao Kang out of the city.

Unexpectedly, before the group of Zhao family members could take a few steps, an old woman carrying a basket walked towards them. When she saw the group of Zhao family members walking towards her, she did not dare to disturb them and moved to the left.

Zhao Kang, who was fuming, was already in an extremely bad mood. When he saw that the old woman was slowly blocking their path, his heart became even worse.

In an instant, an impatient look appeared on her face, and just as she was about to order him to leave, a servant rushed out from behind her, stepped forward, and without saying a word, kicked the old woman to the ground, knocking the basket over.

He even fiercely shouted, "You old fart, don't you see my young master? You are slowly courting death!"

All the pedestrians stopped and stopped. Although they were giving pointers, none of them dared to stand up.

The unhappiness on Zhao Kang's face gradually eased up when he saw this. The servant was even secretly delighted in his heart.

"Grandma!"

A cry of alarm sounded out as a young man about seven or eight years old ran out from the crowd. He ran over to the old woman with small steps and helped her up. He scolded the servant of the Zhao family loudly, "Bad man, bad ..."

The old woman hurriedly covered the child's mouth, and, wrinkling her orange-skinned face, she smiled apologetically and said to the servant, "This... this master, this child is not sensible..."

"I don't care if he is sensible or not, you little bastard, how dare you scold me! You are courting death!"

After saying this, the servant looked at the old woman and the child with a savage expression and lifted his foot to step on the child.

The pedestrians on the street could not bear it any longer, but the grandmother suddenly pulled the child into her embrace, turned around to protect him, and allowed the servant's foot to step on her back.

"What a sin!" Many people shook their heads and sighed.

At this moment, Zhao Kang's face revealed a trace of a smile. A trace of hatred flashed across his eyes, as if he was venting his anger.

However, before the smile on his face could bloom, everyone only felt a gray shadow flash in front of them, as if something had flown past them. Then, they heard a sound...

"Ah!"

Everyone heard a miserable cry, but the sound did not come from the old woman or the child.

He saw a plain-looking boy in gray clothes, standing next to the old woman, who was still kneeling on the ground with her arms around the child. Cold light flashed in his eyes, and he stared coldly at the servant, who was lying on the ground, spitting blood and moaning.

"Uncle Hou, did you... clearly see what happened just now?" Su Gui's eyes remained fixed in front of him. The pupils of the awe-inspiring figure suddenly shrank, and his mouth was a little dry as he asked Hou Buyi, who was standing at the side.

"No ...No, that speed is too fast. I'm afraid... Only Elder Chang can see it clearly." Hou Buyi muttered in shock.

Hearing that, Su Gui's expression changed several times in a row.

At this moment, other than being deeply shocked, Zhao Kang's face was also filled with extreme fear. He stared at the figure in front of him and couldn't wipe it away like a nightmare.

"I'll cripple your martial arts as a punishment," Hengtian said indifferently.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were looking at the servant who was groaning on the ground, and they looked at Hengtian in reverence.

Suddenly, Hengtian turned around and looked at Zhao Kang quietly. Zhao Kang's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't help but break out into a cold sweat as he looked at the faint expression in his eyes.

"Apologize!" Hengtian said to Zhao Kang expressionlessly.

"Huh?"

Hengtian's sudden words stunned Zhao Kang for a moment. He quickly turned his head and shouted to the servant on the left, "Hurry up and go!"

The servant walked over to Hengtian with a bitter expression on his face. He glanced at the half-dead servant on the ground, who was still moaning on the ground, and his legs couldn't help but tremble. He trembled as he walked in front of Hengtian, took out a silver ingot with trembling hands, and handed it to Hengtian.

Hengtian took the silver and without looking at the servant, he turned his head and squatted down to give the silver to the terrified and uncertain grandma.

"Grandma, take this fifty taels of silver. Take it as compensation for the food they gave you and for your grandson. They won't dare to do anything to you. Just accept it."

Hengtian could see through the old woman's concerns because he was once a waiter and knew the suffering of ordinary people. That was why he said that.

The old woman looked at Hengtian in surprise, slowly pinched the silver in her hand, nodded her head deeply, and said gratefully, "Thank you, benefactor. Thank you. This old woman is very grateful!"

As he said that, he was about to pull the child along and kowtow, but he was stopped by Hengtian and hurriedly said, "Aunt, what are you doing? Don't you want to shorten my lifespan? Hurry up and get up!"

Then, Hengtian smiled and slowly stood up. He looked at Zhao Kang and said indifferently, "Apologize!"

Zhao Kang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. He cupped his fists at the old woman and blamed himself, "Old... Old man, I, Zhao Kang, have failed to discipline my servant. Please forgive me. As for that servant..."

Zhao Kang looked fiercely at the half-dead servant and continued, "You can do whatever you want with the servant!"

"No... It won't be a problem!" The old woman was at a loss of what to do. She hurriedly pushed her hands and said.

Only then did Hengtian retract his gaze. He didn't look at Zhao Kang anymore. Instead, he turned around and left with the people from the Su family. Only Zhao Kang's surprised and uncertain face was left.

The grandmother bowed gratefully at Hengtian's back as he left. She picked up the child in her arms, looked at the servant of the Zhao family who was still lying not far away, sighed, and left with the child.

Perhaps it was because the child was smart enough to turn around and look deeply at Hengtian's back, as if he wanted to remember Hengtian's back forever.

However, what no one, including Hengtian, noticed was that there was a thin black figure in the crowd who was looking at the scene gloomily, as if he was planning something.

"Tsk tsk, interesting! I didn't expect to meet a brat at the fourth level of the Guiding Spirit Realm in this secular city. From the looks of it, he should be an itinerant cultivator, right?"

The black figure suddenly paused and looked deeply at Hengtian's back as he left.

A moment later, the black figure's eyes shone brightly, and his words were filled with incomparable excitement as he muttered to himself, "This little fellow, who is at the fourth level of the Guiding Spirit Stage, actually possesses such a noble aura. I'm afraid even the noble body of the Weiyang Sect's Situ Yun, who is at the fourth level of the Guiding Spirit Stage, cannot compare to the noble aura on this little fellow's body. This is truly strange, but Jeje... It seems that my injuries..."

"There's an interesting little guy here ..." Zi Feng muttered.
